I stopped for a moment and quickly adjusted my breathing. I calmed my flustered mind and turned around.
Zheng Keer was sitting on a wheelchair, and the personal servant that took care of her was pushing her towards me.
She must be happy that Lou Shaotang decided to stay in the Garden for her.
Her gaze slowly moved to the empty pants on her right calf, and couldn't help but think back to how he and Lou Shaotang had covered their heads and complained about the car accident last night. The displeasure in her heart had once again turned into a complicated feeling of sympathy, eating taste, as well as disgust and rejection towards her.
She noticed my gaze and put her hand on her right leg, as if to hide it.
"Oh yeah, I heard you saying to Liu Sao that you had something that was missing. What is it? Is it important? Do you want me to help you find it? " Maybe she was trying to distract me by moving the conversation back to the beginning.
Zheng Keer nodded in understanding and did not press on further. She turned her head and looked at the tulip flower garden, and smiled gently, "I heard that Shao Tang personally grew all these tulips for you."
I shivered inwardly, wondering what the meaning of her words was. However, thinking about it, he could use this topic to spur her on. Thus, he also looked towards the flower beds and smiled proudly, "That's right. In order to help me grow these flowers, he spent many days growing them."
Although I purposely provoked her, I didn't exaggerate. When Lou Shaotang first helped me to plant the flowers, he did not get any help from the gardener.
He thought back to when he said to me, "Wife, what I planted is not flowers, but love for you." The corners of my mouth curled up.
"Shao Tang really loves you. Tu Ying, you are so lucky. " Zheng Keer's tone was full of envy, not one bit jealous.
Surprised, I turned to look at her. She gazed at the elegantly blooming tulip with a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were deep and distant, as if she was thinking about something.
Perhaps because he felt that I was looking at her, Zheng Keer withdrew his focus from the tulip, he lowered his head and took out a small red silk bag from his pocket, "I accompanied aunty to the Dragon's Hidden Temple to burn some incense yesterday, and also asked for a Son gifting charm for you. I forgot to give it to you." she said with a smile, handing me the bag.
I was even more surprised than before. She begged for a son for me?
Seeing that I didn't pick it up, I stared at her, probably guessing that I didn't believe she would be so kind. Her smile faded, and she bit her lip, her expression becoming hurt and sad for only a few seconds, and then her eyes filled with tears.
With tears streaming down her face, she silently put the pouch back in her pocket.
Even though her face was full of grievance and she was clearly not pretending to be a good person, I still didn't believe her. To be exact, I don't believe that a woman would sincerely want her beloved man to have children with other women.
Yes, she is great, I admit. But her greatness is limited to Lou Shaotang, not me.
"Tu Ying, I know you hate me. You hate me. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. " Zheng Keer's tears had already started rolling down, as she sobbed, "But please believe me, I didn't do it on purpose. Really, I don't want to either. "
Actually, I didn't say this just for her sake. I also really wanted to know why she wanted to "revive from the dead". Was it because her life could not go on and she had no other choice? Or could it be that even after ten years, she still felt that she still loved Lou Shaotang to death and wanted to continue this fortuitous encounter with him? Or was there another reason?
Zheng Keer choked when I said it, and was stunned. Then she lowered her head and cried, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
I'm speechless. If you have any grievances or difficulties, just say it out. Why are you crying in such a miserable manner?! Those who don't know think I'm bullying her.
She had been in a bad mood, but now she was crying even more. Afraid that I would die of boredom if I stayed any longer, I ignored her and went back to the house.
Since I had not slept for the night, I was tired, so I went back to my room to sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but a rapid knock on the door woke me up.
"Bang, bang, bang ~ ~ ~"
"Eldest Young Lady!"
"Bang, bang, bang ~ ~ ~"
Liu Sao's hand that was just about to knock on the door stopped in midair, and her anxious expression became as though she had been released from a burden. Eldest Young Lady, you finally opened the door! "It scared me to death."
I yawned. "I was asleep. "What is it?"
Liu Sao tilted her head towards the stairs, "First Lady wants you to go to the living room now."
I frowned in disgust. "Shen Yiru is back?"
I sneered. Looking for me right after coming back isn't necessarily because I'm missing you, right? It must be because you're looking for me again.
"Do you know why she's looking for me?" I asked Liu Sao.
Liu Sao curled her lips and shook her head, "I don't know." Then, with a worried expression, she said for me, "However, she seems to be very angry. Eldest Young Lady, you have to be careful."
Hearing her say this, I was even more sure of my guess.
"Got it, you go down first, I'll change."
After closing the door, I went to the bathroom to wash up. I changed my clothes and went downstairs.
When we reached the entrance of the living room, I saw Lou Shaotang sitting on the sofa. I was slightly surprised. And he didn't tell me when he got back.
Lou Shaotang did not notice me coming in. He was staring at a piece of paper in his hand with a serious expression.
I frowned doubtfully and was about to walk over when I saw that he was still holding a small red pouch in his hand, and his eyes twitched.
This silk bag seems to be the one Zheng Keer wanted to give me in the morning. Why was it with him? Could it be that Zheng Keer gave it to him just because I confiscated it?
Oh, I thought with a cold smile. He walked over.
After only two steps, Shen Yiru appeared before me. "Bitch, what qualifications do you have to chase Ke Er away?"
I paused, looking at her angry face, and for a moment I couldn't make out what she meant.
"Things haven't been figured out yet, why are you scolding her?" Lou Shaotang's unhappy voice pulled me back from my daze.
"Why didn't you figure it out? She's the one who did it! " Shen Yiru glared at me. Xiao Feng, speak. "
Hearing her command, Xiao Feng, the personal servant who was taking care of Zheng Keer, straightened her back and angrily looked at me. She then spoke to Lou Shaotang: "This morning, Eldest Young Lady and Miss Zheng were talking in the garden, Eldest Young Lady said that Miss Zheng should not come back, she should stay in hiding forever."
"Did you hear that? It was she who forced Ke Er to leave! " With someone as a witness, Shen Yiru's tone was even more overbearing than before.
"Zheng Keer left?" At this moment, I finally understood what was going on and looked at Lou Shaotang suspiciously.
Lou Shaotang looked at the piece of paper that he placed on the tea table, then nodded at me with a solemn expression.
Realizing that the piece of paper might be some kind of farewell letter written by Zheng Keer, I immediately walked over to the tea table and picked up the piece of pape
