Chapter 657 Even Someone as Powerful as You Are Wronged Sometimes
Bypassing the two corridors, the main courtyard appeared.
Fourth Master stood in front of the main courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at the faint light in the room.
Without even thinking about it, he stepped into the main courtyard.
Moreover, he raised his hand to signal Su Peisheng, and refused to sing the newspaper.
At the door of the hall, Li Fukang and Banmei were standing outside.
When the two met fourth master, they were busy saluting.
Fourth master didn't speak, just walked along the hall and entered the inner room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a woman drinking soup from a porcelain bowl with her slender fingers raised.
There was no servant to sing the newspaper, and no one to pass the message, so she didn't know that the fourth master was coming.
It was only from the corner of the eye that she saw Grandma Liu squatting down, that she knew it.
She looked up, and sure enough, she saw fourth master standing in front of her.
Where there is still time to drink the soup, it is natural to put down the bowls and chopsticks, and go forward to salute: "Master is auspicious."
Fourth Master gave a faint "um" and sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals.
His arms were thick and strong on his knees, and he glanced coldly at the food on the table.
Ruoyin said with a sneer, "If you haven't eaten, why don't you eat together?"
Fourth Master: "..."
Although fourth master didn't speak, Ruoyin still served him a bowl of soup.
"Master, drink some lotus root soup to warm your stomach, to relieve dryness and moisten your lungs."
It's only dark now, and there is a small kitchen in her main courtyard, so she always eats early.
For a busy person like fourth master, he seldom eats three meals a day on time.
Especially at such a late hour, seeing a lot of snow flakes on his shoulders.
The outer layer of the dark-colored boots was mostly wet, and it was estimated that they had not been walking in the snow for a long time.
Then, he should have no meal.
Otherwise, he would have sat far away and played finger wrench there.
Where would he sit at the dinner table, looking like a gentleman waiting for a woman to serve him a meal.
Sure enough, fourth master naturally took the bowl she handed over and took a sip of the hot soup.
Su Peisheng knew that the fourth master was here today and had something serious to say, so he sent all the servants out.
He himself was waiting outside the door, waiting to be sent.
But he guessed wrong. During the meal, fourth master adhered to the rule of "don't talk about food", and didn't say a word the whole time.
Fortunately, Ruoyin has served fourth master for so many years and knows him quite well.
Every time he took the food for fourth master, he ate it.
After about a stick of incense, the two of them finished their meal.
After Su Peisheng heard that there was no movement inside, he asked the servants to come in to clean up the dishes.
All of a sudden, the dining table that was originally full of meals was replaced by a dining table full of pastries and fruits.
Outside, the north wind "huhu" blows.
In the room, fourth master and Ruoyin were silent.
The man didn't speak, and Ruoyin couldn't take the initiative to speak.
She couldn't ask "Is Master in a bad mood today", "Is Mrs. Li feeling better", and other embarrassing topics like this.
It would be better to be silent.
Especially a man like fourth master is very picky.
If you start the wrong topic, the atmosphere will only be colder than it is now.
When he wants to speak, he will speak naturally.
Ruoyin didn't wait too long. After a cup of tea, fourth master spoke lightly.
"Li's blood collapsed during childbirth, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Ruoyin's heart skipped a beat.
After learning that Li's illness was cured, she considered this issue.
I have thought about what others think of her and misunderstand her.
But I never thought that the first person to ask her a question was actually fourth master.
She turned her head slightly and looked at the man beside her.
He was sitting on the grand master's chair beside him, the candlelight slantingly shone on his cheeks, outlining a tough and handsome profile.
It's hard to move your eyes after watching it.
Ruoyin withdrew her eyes calmly, and replied: "At that time, Li Shi's body became weaker and weaker, and her voice became smaller and smaller. The midwife came out to look for Master, but Master was not here..."
Having said that, she paused slightly, her voice began to tremble.
"Then the midwife told me that Li's blood collapse might be dangerous, and asked me whether to protect the adult or the child..."
"I looked at the blood on the midwife's hands and thought about it for a while. Considering that Mrs. Li is already very weak, if she doesn't hold on if I save her, the child is gone, and the adults are gone, how can I tell fourth master?" , and explain to the ancestors."
After she finished speaking, her voice was a little choked up, it was choked up with grievance and entanglement.
There is no evil in her heart, she is just dealing with the matter.
If at that time...if she had any malice in her heart, she would not hesitate to "protect the child" directly.
At this moment, she certainly didn't feel really wronged.
Didn't everyone say that weakness is a weapon for women to compete for favor? If others can do it, so can she.
Ruoyin saved her handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes lightly, and shrugged her nose sadly.
She looks gentle, virtuous, dignified and generous, but she still looks like a pitiful little girl who has been maliciously misunderstood.
Fourth master was looking straight ahead without expression.
But after hearing the woman's trembling voice, his long eyebrows frowned slightly.
Turning around, she saw her shrugging her shoulders, as if she had been greatly wronged.
On the long and curled eyelashes, there were crystal clear tears.
A tear slid down her delicate face.
But she didn't cry, she just shed tears of grievance.
Such a pitiful appearance is more pitiful than crying.
You said that you are not grinding people!
The originally quiet room suddenly became sad.
In fact, he didn't doubt her at all.
Just ask casually and see how she responds.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken up for Fujin when Mrs. Li filed a complaint.
If he really doubted it, he would have given her the cold, and would not have come to the main courtyard.
After a long time, he tapped lightly on the surface of the table and ordered: "Come to the master."
Ruoyin pursed her bright red lips and reluctantly walked up to fourth master.
Just let the tears hang on your cheeks and look to one side.
In the past, fourth master hated women crying the most.
Later, he hated seeing the woman in front of him cry the most.
At this moment, seeing the beauty crying so hard, I felt an urge to take her into my arms.
The next moment, he wrapped his arms around and did so.
Ruoyin lowered his head and played with his nails, looking at his toes.
She looks like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
Seeing that the fourth master chuckled unconscionably, he said: "Well, why are you crying, you are crying so ugly."
At the door, Su Peisheng covered his mouth and smiled after hearing this.
I thought that fourth master could really tell irony.
It should be that Fujin cried so beautifully that fourth master couldn't hold back, so he hugged him and coaxed him.
Immediately afterwards, fourth master took out a dark blue handkerchief from his cuff.
While wiping the woman's tears, he said: "Master knows, I have wronged you for a while."
Ruoyin pursed her lips aggrievedly, and made a small "hum" from her nose.
Then, she replied sensibly: "It's not a grievance. Since I am Fujin, I enjoy the glory and wealth of the main family and manage the backyard. Then, this kind of thing will happen to me more or less. How can anyone live a lifetime?" They are all happy, and there is nothing wrong with it.”
As she spoke, she threw herself into Fourth Master's arms, and said thoughtfully: "Even a person as powerful as Master, there are times when he feels wronged."
