Zhuo Lin woke up and found herself lying in a strange room. Before she could sit up, she heard the voice of Long Xiao coming from the side, "are you awake?"
Long Xiao, wearing a loose casual dress, was standing by the bed, frowning at her.
Zhuo Lin sat up and said, "cousin, why did you come to the capital? Where is this?"
Long Xiao said, "this is my house in the capital. As for how I am in the capital... This can be said later. You'd better tell me what's the matter with you."
Zhuo Lin said with a wry smile, "what else can happen? That's what you see."
Long Xiao's face was slightly heavy. "Is Fu Zheng really out there? I'll clean him up!" although Zhuo Lin was only his cousin, Long Xiao still classified her into his own category. Can his cousin Longxiao be bullied by Fu?
Zhuo Lin shook her head and said, "no, we don't have a relationship anymore."
Long Xiao was stunned and looked a little serious. "Are you really divorced? Although Fu Zheng is not a thing, he is still sincere to you. Is there any misunderstanding?"
Zhuo Lin pulled her lip slightly and asked, "cousin, do you have anyone else besides your sister-in-law?"
Long Xiao was a little uncomfortable for a moment. Instead of being embarrassed, he told Zhuo Lin, who regarded him as his sister, about his backyard. It was more or less strange.
He didn't answer, but Zhuo Lin already understood, "what does sister-in-law say?"
Long Xiao didn't care. "What's there to say? Isn't it all like this?" he wasn't a special person, but he wasn't indiscriminate. There are two concubines in the family. They were accepted only after his wife gave birth to her eldest son not long ago.
Zhuo Lin sighed and said, "I'm different from my sister-in-law. I'm probably the kind of jealous woman you say?"
Long Xiao said, "if you don't want to let that woman in, Fu Zheng must not......" Long Xiao is still confident that Fu Zheng is horizontal outside and seems to be a strict wife in front of his cousin. What's more, Long Xiao doesn't think that the so-called woman can compare with Zhuolin.
Zhuo Lin said, "cousin, it doesn't matter how that woman is. The important thing is that this matter... Can't get through here. It doesn't mean that Fu Zheng can't finish by asking the girl to kill her child or send her away from home. Instead of keeping a knot that can't get through forever and finally resenting each other, it's better to do it as soon as possible."
Long Xiao was stunned. As soon as he arrived in the capital, he heard that Fu Zheng and Zhuo Lin were not in a hurry. Who wouldn't make trouble when such a thing happened? Even if Zhuo Lin doesn't make trouble, he has to help her beat Fu Zheng.
But I didn't expect Zhuo Lin to think so. For a time, she didn't know what to say.
For half a day, Long Xiao slowly said, "how many men in this world can..." men's three wives and four concubines have been like this for many years. People have long regarded it as a matter of course.
Zhuo Lin said with a light smile, "so I don't insist. I'm lucky, but I can't live."
Long Xiao shook his head, frowned and said, "do you know why you fainted?"
Zhuo Lin frowned and said, "I'm upset these days. I'm not feeling well. I was going to see the doctor in a few days. What's the matter with me?" she was really not in the mood to pay attention to her health these days.
Long Xiao said positively, "Arlene, you'd better reconsider the divorce. You're pregnant for two months."
There was a moment of silence in the room. It took a long time to hear Zhuo Lin whisper, "so... It's like this."
Zhuo Lin lowered her head and stroked her abdomen. In fact, she didn't feel anything, but she always felt something different.
Long Xiao said, "you divorced Fu Zheng. What about the child? You're not going to have the child?"
Zhuo Lin said: "how? I will naturally give birth to this child. Does my cousin think I can't support my own child?"
Long Xiao disagreed and said, "what does Fu Zheng say? Don't let him know the existence of the child? Is it really good for him and the child? What will you do if the child asks you who his father is in the future?" Zhuo Lin was silent for a moment and said: "Cousin, Fu Zheng and I have divorced. I will leave the capital for a period of time and come back when... Everything is stable. As for the child... He has a child and should be a little older than my child. When the child grows up, I will tell him the truth."
Long Xiao patted her forehead with a headache. He didn't expect Zhuo Lin to be so determined.
"It's not easy to take a child alone. Have you really considered it clearly?" Long Xiao looked a little complicated.
Zhuo Lin nodded slowly and said softly, "I've decided, cousin. I'm afraid it will be troublesome for some time."
Long Xiao also had to sigh and said, "in that case, you should go to the four northern provinces to live for a while. It's more convenient to have your aunt and cousin take care of you."
Zhuo Lin said with a smile: "it doesn't have to be so troublesome. Fu Zheng may come to me later. I just want to ask my cousin to keep it a secret."
Zhuo Lin knows Fu Zheng well enough. She divorced happily today, but I'm afraid she will regret it later.
If I knew she was pregnant, it would be even more troublesome.
Long Xiao was worried, "so... Do you live here?"
Zhuo Lin said, "I promised to do something for your majesty yesterday. I want to go away and come back in about two or three months."
"Are you crazy?!" Long Xiao said in a deep voice, "you are still pregnant! Xiao... How could your majesty let you help him go far?!"
Zhuo Lin said with a smile, "I just learned it, and your majesty naturally doesn't know it. This is an opportunity I won for myself. It's not only to help your majesty, but also good for me. In addition, I'm accompanied and taken care of all the way, and I'm not going to any poor place. Don't worry."
"Where the hell are you going?" Long Xiao asked.
Zhuo Lin said, "it's confidential."
Seeing what else Long Xiao wanted to say, Zhuo Lin said, "cousin, don't worry, I know. I'm more afraid of death than anyone and won't make fun of myself and my children. I don't want to stay in the capital after I've made such a deal with Fu Zheng. It might be better to go out for a walk."
Long Xiao asked, "are you really not going to give Fu Zheng another chance?"
Zhuo Lin smiled and didn't answer, but long Xiao already understood what she meant.
"Well, now that you have decided, tell me if you have any difficulties. Anyway, we are still our own people." Long Xiao said.
Zhuo Lin nodded, "OK, thank you, cousin."
The next day, Long Xiao went to beat Fu Zheng up.
Fu Zheng did not fight back this time and was beaten black and blue. He didn't fight back, but long Xiao felt boring and soon stopped. He sneered at Fu Zheng and turned away.
After that day, Fu Zheng never saw Zhuo Lin again.
Even the division of property was handled by people around long Xiao. Zhuo Lin really didn't ask Fu Zheng for any property, so she shared it clearly.
Looking at a pile of bank bills and land and house deeds in front of him, Fu Zheng sneered, stuffed the things intact into the box and threw them to the people who came to handle them, got up and went out.
The people sent by Long Xiao were stunned and went back to see Long Xiao with a box of valuable things. No matter whether they were divorced or divorced, they were afraid that the other party would take advantage of themselves. It was the first time they saw that both sides regarded money like dirt.
Long Xiao could only reluctantly wave his hand and said, "put it first and talk about it later." Zhuo Lin had left the capital and was really determined.
The divorce of Fu Zheng and Zhuo Lin in the capital has raised a topic for a while, but so many things happen every day in such a big capital. It is only lively for a few days, and then it gradually subsides.
On the seventh day of divorce, Fu Zheng went to Jingcheng university to find Zhuolin. He was told that Zhuolin asked for a long holiday.
On the tenth day, Fu Zheng found Long Xiao who was about to leave the capital. Long Xiao refused to tell him where Zhuo Lin was going. Fu Zheng and long Xiao fought in vain.
On the fifteenth day, the old master and the old lady of the Fu family rushed to the capital. The old lady beat her son and failed to find Zhuo Lin.
Three days later, master Fu decided to take Feng's mother and daughter back to Fu's villa. However, he still didn't give Feng's identity. Fu Zheng ignored this and still looked for Zhuo Lin everywhere.
A month later, Fu Zheng was rushed back to the south, and Zhuolin was on the ship that was about to arrive at Elia.
The fatigue of the sea and the toss during pregnancy made her whole person lose weight. However, standing in the bow of the boat, looking at the boundless blue sea and the soaring seabirds in the distance between the sea and the sky, her look became more and more tenacious.
Only gently stroking the abdomen and slightly lowering the head, there was a continuous tenderness between the eyebrows.
In mid June, Zhuo Lin quietly returned to the capital. This trip was much longer than expected, but Zhuo Lin felt it was worth it. Before returning to the capital, she stopped by to visit Sheng Zhuoyan, the elder sister of the Wei family, and hugged her two-year-old nephew.
Sheng Zhuolin advised her to make up with her family as usual. Zhuolin just smiled faintly and thanked her sister for her kindness. For this stubborn sister, Sheng Zhuoyan had no choice but to give her a lot of private money when seeing her off.
Long Xiao happened to be in the capital. He was relieved to see Zhuo Lin's ruddy appearance although she had a big belly.
Long Xiao was a little helpless and said, "your aunt knew I let you go abroad and almost broke my leg." Long Xiao was wronged. He didn't know Zhuo Lin said that he was going abroad. But this time he was completely convinced of his cousin. This is really something that ordinary women can't do.
Zhuo Lin said with a smile, "it's hard, cousin, but... Have you been to the capital a little more this year?" just last time. This time she came back, Long Xiao is still in the capital. Not only that, she also heard that long Xiao has been to the capital twice in recent months. In other words, on average, I have to run once in more than a month.
Long Xiao said, "not only I often run, but also Fu Zheng." after saying this, Long Xiao paused and looked at Zhuo Lin's look as usual, which was a sigh of relief.
Zhuo Lin's eyes drooped slightly, and one hand stroked her already big abdomen, "what's the matter?"
Long Xiao said, "nothing. I wanted to take you to the four northern provinces, but the four northern provinces are not very peaceful recently. The capital is better. You want to stay in the capital and take your children there when the northeast is peaceful."
Zhuo Lin smiled. "I can't go out like this. It's the same everywhere. You should be careful yourself." Zhuo Lin also knew that the interior of the four northern provinces had been a little unhappy recently. She asked with some worry: "is aunt and sister-in-law ah Yue okay?"
"Don't worry, the dragon family has some roots in the four northern provinces. Nothing big can happen. I can solve it in a few months at most. By the way, Fu Zheng... I'd better tell you. Even if I don't tell you, you'll know soon."
Zhuo Lin wondered, "what happened to Fu Zheng?"
Long Xiao said, "I don't know if it was right to help you hide it from him. After you left, he looked for you for two months, and then he probably gave up. However... The old master of the Fu family took the Feng's daughter back and raised her without giving her a place. Last month, Fu Zheng took two women back. It seems that he was going to break the pot."
Zhuo Lin didn't speak. She was silent for a long time before she said faintly, "nothing. What he wants to do is his freedom."
Long Xiao shook his head. He knew that the two men could not go back.
If Zhuo Lin could not accept an accident and concealment, Fu Zheng would have completely cut off his future. Perhaps Fu Zheng himself understood this truth, so he cut off his thoughts so simply?
These two people seem very different, but in fact they are the same. Once the decision is made, he will not hesitate to cut off all his retreat and never leave any room for himself.
Zhuo Lin whispered, "cousin, that's it. Don't mention him in the future."
Long Xiao nodded, "OK, this is what he threw to the person I sent to help you. See what to do." Long Xiao put a box in front of her. Zhuo Lin certainly knew what was in it. Without saying anything more, she put it away.
Zhuo Lin is not bored staying in the house without leaving home. She has gained a lot from this trip. She was busy all the way before and couldn't sort it out. Now she is free and has time to digest these things.
This trip abroad, she saw a broader world and saw more local customs. Compared with the previous efforts with only one spirit, she felt that she saw a lot more clearly about the future.
But she still needs more time to think and make feasible plans for the future.
And the baby in her belly. When she felt the baby's activities for the first time, Zhuo Lin was so happy that she wanted to cry.
The baby will be her closest person in the world. If she can't sleep at night, she will turn out a thick dictionary and choose names for the baby.
Occasionally, she would think of Fu Zheng.
Although she doesn't go out, the news is not blocked. Two days ago, she suddenly heard some funny News - it is said that Feng was not pregnant at all.
But the funnier news is... Feng is really pregnant now. She has been pregnant for five months.
In other words, Fu Zhenggang was pregnant before she divorced or before she divorced. Feng pretended to be pregnant before, maybe it's just not found out.
Hearing the news, Zhuo Lin was stunned. Finally, she just shook her head and stroked her stomach with a faint smile.
Faced with this news, what do the old master and the old lady of the Fu family think? Outsiders don't know. Fu Zheng's statement is to take another woman back from the opera garden.
The young and promising Fu Jiangjun completed the complete transformation from a good man with deep feelings to a romantic who does not refuse to come in half a year.
Zhuo Lin couldn't help thinking that Fu Zheng was really wronged with her. It's only been less than half a year since the divorce. They took three concubines in succession.
In August, a few days before Zhuo Lin was about to give birth, Mrs. Sheng suddenly appeared in the dragon's house.
She mocked Zhuolin as usual, and then said coldly that she came to take care of Zhuolin's baby.
Zhuo Lin didn't believe it. Her mother didn't even take care of her sister when she was pregnant. How could she come all the way to take care of her?
But by this time, chaos had begun to sprout in the capital. Long Xiao returned from the four northern provinces, but he was too busy to touch his feet every day. Originally, Zhuolin could help him analyze the situation occasionally, but with the labor time getting closer and closer, Long Xiao didn't dare to trouble her with these things.
At this time, Zhuo Lin can't make too much trouble with Mrs. Sheng. The Fu family are now in the capital. If it gets big, it will disturb the Fu family. Now the Fu family is in a mess. Zhuo Lin really doesn't want the children to have anything to do with the Fu family.
Mrs. Sheng is arranged by Long Xiao to live outside. She can only come and have a look every day. There are people staring in and out. There's no need to worry about what she does. Those who stared at Mrs. Sheng also found that she was very calm every day. She just came to see Zhuo Lin and told her what to pay attention to when giving birth. There was no superfluous action at all, as if she was really just taking care of the mother of her daughter who was about to give birth.
Everyone thinks everything is arranged properly, but things are so coincidence. Maybe it should be called destiny.
On this day, several warlords sent troops at the same time, threatening the royal family to transfer power. The soldiers and horses guarding the capital also set up troops and completely betrayed the royal family. On that day, the streets of the capital were full of fighting soldiers and horses. The killing sound was loud and blood flowed into a river.
Zhuo Lin started at this time. When bursts of pain came, Zhuo Lin knew she was going to have a baby.
There was also a faint sound of fighting in the distance. The whole villa was guarded by the soldiers of the dragon family to guard against the crazy people rushing in.
Zhuo Lin held the window and looked at the sky. She vaguely felt that the moon in the sky was stained with some scarlet.
She smiled helplessly and stroked her round abdomen.
Born on such a day, I hope things will turn around when they reach the extreme, and the baby can live a smooth and safe life.
The subsequent chaos was beyond everyone's expectation, and the whole capital fell into complete chaos. The doctor and wenpo who had originally arranged to help deliver the baby couldn't come at all. Long Xiao was not at home, so the housekeeper had to be the master and send Zhuo Lin to the hospital.
Zhuo Lin doesn't remember everything after that. She only remembers the severe pain, the noisy and chaotic scream in her ears, and I don't know where it came from. I don't know whether it was an illusion or a real fight. Then there was the cry of the baby. I didn't know when I vaguely heard her mother's vicious curse.
Like a dream, she seemed to see her mother holding the baby's swaddling clothes in one hand, and her eyes were full of malice.
She struggled to open her eyes and tried to reach out and hold her. But she couldn't move, and finally fell into the endless dark abyss in the faint cry of the baby.
A few days after waking up again, they told her that her child... Died.
Congenitally deficient, he died soon after he was born.
For quite a while, Zhuo Lin's memory was vague. She had little impression of the change that affected the whole Anxia. She didn't know what happened later and how the warlords and the royal family negotiated and compromised in the end. She buried her child. It was really a very small child. She wondered if it was because she ran around when she was pregnant that the baby was so vulnerable? Wouldn't it be so easy if he were healthier?
But at the same time, she also knew that even if the baby was very weak, it wouldn't disappear so soon.
He was killed. She wants to avenge her baby!
The capital is still in chaos, and long Xiao is still too busy to touch the ground every day. Zhuo Lin, who had just got up, left the capital alone and returned to her hometown where she had been away for a long time.
Her mother, who claimed to be waiting on her daughter's confinement, went back early and saw Zhuo Lin suddenly show her rare face. Zhuo Lin just sneered at her and turned away without entering the door.
