Chapter 532: The Man Goes to the Empty House
In the back house of the Xiangguo Temple mansion, the little county lord whispered about what happened. Lin Jue sat there like a chicken and listened.
"Last night, when you were out drinking with your friends, Xiaohu came to the back house and told Midori Dance what he heard. Green Dance was stunned when she heard this, and after my repeated questioning, Green Dance told me all about it. In fact, Green Dance had already discovered the clue not long ago, but she had never dared to be sure. The little county lord said softly.
Lu Wu nodded beside him and said, "Yes, do you remember the day when we went to Mr. Yulin Lane's house to drink?" Lord Yan is also there. When you were drinking in the hall that day, I saw Sister Huanqiu's face behind the curtain of the West Wing. At the time, I was stunned and thought ...... I thought it was Sister Huanqiu's ghost back. But when I thought about it later, I thought it was unlikely. I'm going to tell you on the way back, but...... But I didn't dare to say. After all, I can't be too sure, I'm afraid that Childe will say I'm talking nonsense. Later, when I went again, I deliberately searched for clues, but I didn't find anything, so I pressed this matter in my heart. As soon as Xiaohu told me, I realized that this was all true, and Sister Huanqiu was indeed not dead. ”
Lin Jue's mind was blank, he didn't know what to think, and his whole person seemed to be frozen.
"Husband, we were going to tell you last night. But when you are drunk and fall asleep, you don't say it. We're not trying to hide it from you. When I learned about this, I decided to tell you that Midori Dance can testify to this. I know what happened between you and Miss Huanqiu, and I also admire her for making such a choice in order not to drag you down, and I don't think I should hide it from you. I just didn't have time. Guo Caiwei said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Childe, at that time I was worried about telling you about this, will you ...... Will you run to find Miss Huanqiu? But the county lord's sister said that if the son had no love for her in his heart, he couldn't keep it. If there is love, Childe will have his choice. So, I decided to tell you. Lu Wu looked at the golden hairpin and the marriage book on the table and said softly: "Now it seems that Sister Huanqiu must have learned about the marriage between the prince and the county lord, and these things must have been sent by her." She must have been angry and sad. Hey, what can I do? ”
Lin Jue's mind slowly became calm, and he began to think slowly. The context of the whole thing is already clear. Fang Huanqiu didn't die, but she thought that her illness was incurable, so she faked her death to make herself die. This silly girl really thinks about herself for her own sake, so she acted in such a play. Moreover, Mr. Fang and his wife must also love their daughters very much, and cooperated with her in this play in order to fulfill her wishes.
After the whole thing was cleared, many details suddenly became clear. After learning that Fang Huanqiu had passed away, all kinds of things that caused his doubts became clear.
For example, after the Fang family and his wife informed them of Huanqiu's death, when Lin Jue was grief-stricken, he felt that his husband and wife did not seem to be so sad. At that time, Lin Jue had this feeling, Mrs. Fang was such an emotional person, when she cried bitterly, she only shed a few tears, and there was no sadness in her expression. The gentleman didn't say anything about it. They were all concerned with comforting themselves, but it was not at all like the death of their only daughter. I was grief-stricken and upset, and I didn't think deeply at all.
Also, I went to Mr. Fang's residence in the academy later, but I rarely went into the house to talk every time. The gentleman always dragged himself to talk in the courtyard or under the porch. If you think about it, you rarely even go inside the house. And the only time he asked to go into Huanqiu's room before his death to sit down, he was also rejected by his wife because the room had not been cleaned for a long time and was full of dust.
After last year's Southeast Oiran Competition, Lin Jue originally made an appointment to send Fang Dunru and his wife back to the academy. But the husband and the wife left without saying a word. When I caught up, I once saw a vague figure in the big car. It's ridiculous that I jokingly thought it was Mr. Fang who had newly accepted a concubine. Now that I think about it, it must be the autumn of the Oiran Contest.
There is also a recent thing, after coming to the capital, on the day I went to see Fang Dunru for the first time, I had already arrived at the entrance of Yulin Lane, but Mr. suddenly changed his mind and did not let himself go. And that day, I asked to go to the tomb of Huanqiu, but my husband and wife did not agree. And every time they arrived at Fang's house, Mr. and Mrs. spoke in loud voices, as if they were reminding someone in the house.
Wait a minute...... Wait a minute......
The more I think about the details, the clearer I become. All of this is to avoid discovering the truth about Huanqiu's existence on his own. And he was as unconscious as a blind and deaf person, and he didn't even have the slightest suspicion of Huanqiu's death. In fact, the more I think about it, the more flaws there are, and I only blame myself for being too dull and not thinking deeply at all.
And now, he and the little county lord are married, but they learn the news that Huanqiu is still alive. And these things sent here must have been done by Huanqiu. From that poem, it can be seen that Huanqiu is blaming himself for finding a new love and being ungrateful. I broke Huanqiu's heart in this ignorance and sluggishness, this girl who fell in love with herself, should be heartbroken now, and she hated herself to the core.
What should I do now? Lin Jue was also confused. His heart was full of guilt, but at the same time there was a strange joy. Huanqiu is still alive, that is his first love, that is a woman who has a lot of weight in his heart, of course he hopes that she is alive, and he hopes to see her again. However, now that he is a husband, how can he see Huanqiu again? What if you see it? Can you still give up the little county lord? That's absolutely impossible.
Guo Caiwei's position in her heart has already surpassed the position of all women in more than a year. She has endured all the hardships for herself, but she has never been unswerving, and she can't stand her. She is already her wife, she will protect her and love her all her life, how can she abandon her from the beginning? But Huanqiu is alive, can she pretend not to know? That's even more impossible.
Of course, Lin Jue hoped that he could also be with Huanqiu, but this was impossible. This is a very normal era of three wives and four concubines, but it is absolutely impossible for a woman like Fang Huanqiu to marry someone else as a concubine. Fang Dunru would never allow his daughter to be a concubine. It was an insult to him. Therefore, between the little county lord and Huanqiu, he Lin Jue can only marry one person as his wife. If it is an identity like Green Dance Xie Yingying, it will be much easier to do. Because of this, this matter became irrefutable, forcing Lin Jue to be in a dilemma, and his soul was broken.
The back house is quiet and peaceful. A gust of wind blew through the flowers and trees in the courtyard, the trees shook their leaves, and the willows moved their flowers. The branches of the trees rattled in the wind, and the sound was as turbulent and undulating as the hearts of the husband and wife in the back house.
"Husband, Wei'er thinks that you should go and meet Fang Huanqiu. I have heard about you and have been touched by her. You should go to her and have an explanation. Guo Caiwei's soft voice broke the dull atmosphere.
Green Dance looked at Guo Caiwei in surprise, she didn't know if Guo Caiwei was telling the truth, it stands to reason how Guo Caiwei would let her son go to see Miss Huanqiu, wouldn't that be a revival of the old love, what good would it do her?
Lin Jue was also a little surprised, and looked up at Guo Caiwei's calm pretty face.
"Wei'er, you...... What does that mean? ”
"The husband is a man who is affectionate and righteous, and he should solve this matter. Miss Fang is very affectionate to you, and her husband is not a person who is affectionate, so she naturally can't be indifferent. Therefore, the husband should go to see Miss Fang and clear up the misunderstanding, lest Miss Fang be sad and misunderstand you. ”
"But ......"
"You don't have to worry about me." Guo Caiwei smiled: "I didn't say anything against my will. If it weren't for Miss Fang's identity, it would be impossible to marry you as a concubine, and I would even personally facilitate this matter. One more sister, one more affectionate and righteous person to serve my husband, I will not be jealous or unhappy. It's a pity that Miss Fang's identity is impossible to marry her husband. I asked my husband to go, not because I didn't feel it, but I believed that my husband could solve the matter himself. If the husband thinks that there are more girls who love Fang, Wei'er will let Xian go. If the husband has me in his heart, he will solve it properly. Therefore, the husband should go to Miss Fang. Vile was telling the truth. ”
Lin Jue stretched out his hand to hold Guo Caiwei's weak and boneless little hand, and his heart was both moved and guilty. Regardless of whether Guo Caiwei really thinks so in her heart, but at this moment, she can say this, which shows that she is a virtuous woman who is knowledgeable and courteous. Yesterday, she took the initiative to get married in the Green Dance Chapel, which shows that she is a person who cares about the feelings of others, and this move is even more admirable at this moment.
Lin Jue had already decided to explain it to Fang Huanqiu, but if he hurt the little county lord for Fang Huanqiu, Lin Jue would never do it. Some things may be destined to leave regrets, although Lin Jue doesn't want to, but he can't reverse it.
"Thank you, Vier. You're right, I should have gone to close the matter. I'm going to see Huanqiu, untie this knot, let her and I unload this burden and live a better life. So this trip I'm going. But I'm going to take you with me to her. Huanqiu would have been relieved if she had known that I had married a virtuous wife like you. I know Huanqiu, she is actually a very kind woman, she sent this gift, although there is blame, but there is also restraint. Lin Jue said softly.
Guo Caiwei smiled and nodded, she knew Lin Jue's thoughts, Lin Jue was willing to take her with her, that was to tell herself with his actions, he would not have two hearts for himself. He used this smart move to reassure himself, which made Guo Caiwei love Lin Jue even more.
"It's okay, I'll accompany my husband on a trip. Maybe Miss Fang and I can become good friends. Guo Caiwei said with a smile.
At that moment, Lin Jue asked Xiaohu to set up a car, and the three of them got in the car together and went to Fang's house in Yulin Lane. The closer he got to Yulin Lane, the more excited Lin Jue's mood became, and the thoughts and emotions for Fang Huanqiu in his heart were still gushing out, and it was difficult to contain. Lin Jue secretly warned himself to be calm, to be rational, and not to be emotional.
The car stopped at the gate of the Fang family's courtyard, Lin Jue slowly got out of the car, and several people stood in front of the courtyard gate, but found that the courtyard door of the courtyard was locked. The Fang family turned out to be empty.
Lin Jue stood at the door and shouted a few times, but no one responded. The old woman in the neighborhood, who was next to her, poked her head out when she heard the sound and asked Lin Jue and the others, "Are you here to find the Fang family?" ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Yes, may I ask the eldest lady if you know where the Fang family has gone?" Why is it that there is no one at home in the morning? ”
The woman laughed and said, "Of course there is no one?" In the middle of the night last night, the Fang family moved out. ”
Lin Jue opened his mouth in astonishment, unable to speak.
