Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 336 Remorse

   Dilapidated houses, the yard is full of piles, and the clothesline is full of wet clothes.

  Chang shi sat in the courtyard and vigorously rubbed a pot of dirty clothes. Hearing the movement, he raised his head and couldn't help but groan: "Hui'er, why are you in such a hurry?"

  Wen Hui was panting, with a very strange look on his face: "That, that second daughter became the Crown Princess!"

   Who this "that person" refers to, Chang's can't be more clear, and he immediately tore through the clothes he was washing.

   She didn't care about her distress and stood up abruptly: "You said Lin Hao, that girl?"

  Wen Hui nodded with a complicated look: "It's her."

   After he finished speaking, he squatted down on the ground and started to freeze.

   Last year's Qiu Wei, halfway through the test, he was carried out because his body could not support it, and three years of hard work were in vain.

  Unwillingness, pain, depression, all kinds of negative emotions mixed together, which destroyed most of his energy, and often showed a stunned expression.

   Seeing his son like this, Mrs. Chang panicked: "Hui'er, Hui'er, don't embarrass yourself again—"

  Wen Hui lowered his head and muttered: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault... If it wasn't for me being sick and not finishing the exam, our family wouldn't be like this..."

   He raised his hand and slapped his mouth: "It's my fault, my fault—"

Chang Shi hurts his son the most. Seeing him like this, he quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Hui'er, you can't think like that, why is it your fault! It's your sister's fault, and you're busy with Qing'er's fault. If you have to read, your body can't take it anymore, woohoo..."

   Mrs. Chang cried, turned her head and shouted, "Wen Qing, what are you doing in the house every day, you dead girl? Didn't you hear that your elder brother came back!"

   After a while, a girl with a bone-like shape stood quietly on the steps, staring at the courtyard without moving.

   She had long, dry hair that reached her waist, covering most of her cheeks, but the savage wound on her left cheek could not be covered.

   Seeing her like this, Mrs. Chang became angry and shouted, "Is there no life in my eyes? I haven't washed my clothes yet, I only know how to cook me alone!"

   Once, she loved her pretty and beautiful daughter. But the family is poor, and the daughter lives all day because of her disfigurement. Not only can she not marry out to help her parents, but she has to support her for the rest of her life.

   Tired of daughter, bored of unsatisfactory life.

   Blame him!

  Chen's hateful eyes shot at the east room, and rushed in with a twisted face.

   On the bed, a skinny man was motionless, his whole body exuded a sour smell mixed with the smell of medicine and sweat, and as soon as he got close, he would vomit.

   Hearing the movement, he moved his eyelids, but he didn't open his eyes.

"You know how to pretend to be dead! If it wasn't because you were a scabby, Qinger wouldn't have gone to Lin Hao to ask for money. If Qinger didn't ask for money, there would be no accident. If Qinger didn't have an accident, Huier wouldn't be too bad. Worrying and falling ill in the exam room... it's all your fault, it's all your fault, why are you still not dead!"

   Speaking of excitement, Chang Shi frantically slapped Wen Rugui's arm.

  Wen Rugui opened his eyes slightly, as if he could not feel the pain, and was indifferent to Chang's madness.

   This kind of situation has been countless in the past six months, and he has long been used to it.

   "You talk! Are you dumb?"

   "Crazy woman." Wen Rugui moved her lips and spit out two words.

   "What did you say?" Chang stopped and leaned over to listen.

   This man hadn't responded to her beatings and scolding for a long time, and she didn't even notice it. That's what made her even more mad.

   "Mad woman..."

When Chang Shi heard it, his eyes widened in disbelief, and then he became angry: "You call me a lunatic? Then what are you a sick person? Let me tell you, your precious second daughter has become a princess, are you happy? Oh? , when I think of it, the name is Lin, it has nothing to do with you, hahahaha..."

   "You, what did you say?" Wen Rugui moved and wanted to sit up, but he couldn't do it with his physical condition.

   He had no choice but to stare at Chang Shi, trying to see the truth from her expression.

Seeing him like this, Chang Shi only felt happy: "What am I lying to you for? She married Prince Jing, and Prince Jing became the crown prince. If she didn't, she would become the crown princess, and she would be the queen in the future. It's a pity. , all this has nothing to do with you, you stupid..."

   "Prince Concubine, Empress..." Wen Rugui murmured, his voice seemed rusty after not speaking for a long time.

   He tried his best to recall the appearance of his second daughter, but he didn't know whether it was because he hadn't seen him for too long or because he was so sick that he couldn't remember.

   Lin's face appeared in his mind.

   He always thought Lin Wanqing was arrogant, rude, and had no heart.

   But at this moment, the appearance of her in his mind is bright, cheerful and pure.

   He and Wanqing's daughter have become crown princesses.

  Chang's sharp scolding sounded in his ears, Wen Rugui opened his cloudy and dull eyes, and what he saw was an ugly woman with a distorted face.

   Since he was dismissed from office and left the Wen family mansion, the woman in front of him has gradually changed into this ugly appearance.

   He closed his eyes again, and the person he saw became Lin.

   For some reason, he was very sure that if it was him and Wanqing who fell into poverty, Wanqing would never complain day after day, but would face hardships more actively than him, and support each other to get out of the predicament.

   It was only now that he fully understood that Wanqing was a vigorous tree, while Chang was a dodder that only knew how to extract nutrients from others.

   What about him?

   Hahahaha, Chang Shi is right, he is a fool.

   Great idiot!

   A tear flowed from the corner of his eye, washed his dirty cheek, and slid into his collar with turbidity.

  Chang Shi sensed something was wrong, took a closer look, and was stunned.

  Wen Rugui closed her eyes and stopped breathing completely.

  Chang sighed and shouted loudly: "Wen Rugui!"

   I had been looking forward to his death for a long time, but he suddenly died like this, but Chang found it difficult to accept.

  In the yard, the son was squatting in a daze, and the daughter was standing in a trance, as if not hearing the mother's cry and scolding, and no one took a look inside the house.

  Wen Rugui survived the long cold winter, but died in the middle spring of the eleventh year of Tai'an. Three years ago, it was in the middle of the second month of spring that he and the Lin family reached the end of Yijue.

   Later, the Lin family heard the news of Wen Rugui's death.

   At that time, she came back from Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing on a horse. After listening to it, she was slightly stunned, and instructed her maid Fangfei: "Go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of sugar and cheese to pour over the cherries. It's hot, go to the fire."

  The cheese is sweet and sweet, and the faint sense of loss that is not bitter is washed away after one bite.

   She will be like this bowl of sugar and cheese with cherries, still growing and sweet, those unhappy things should be forgotten.

   The finishing stage.
