Lu Jinxi...
A gentle and soothing voice.
It sounds like a dream bestowed by God.
So Lu Jinxi really had a dream.
In the dream, there are swords, mountains, her, the mysterious man, and even Fang Shaoxing in silver armor, and...
Gu Juefei was covered in blood.
At one time it was the severe pain of rolling to the ground, at one time it was dizziness from the recurrence of an old injury; at one time it was Fang Shaoxing who urgently called to her, and at another time it was Gu Juefei who fell into her world...
Long and messy.
It's a nightmare, it looks like it's been a lifetime.
When he woke up, Lu Jinxi opened his eyes.
There is a faint smell of sandalwood in the room, which has become faint, and the familiar soft bed is under the body, and the top of the head is the familiar and delicate lotus tent...
It's the general's mansion, it's her house.
For such a brief moment, she thought she was really just having a nightmare: she had never been to Baoding, and she had never been robbed on the way back, so Gu Juefei naturally didn't take any risk to save her...
Only the next moment, such a bubble-like dream was broken.
Qingque, who came by with a bowl of medicine, saw her with her eyes open, and the bottom of those eyes suddenly smeared with a tearful surprise: "Madam, Madam is awake!"
So inside and outside the house, a large group of people crowded up.
In front of Lu Jinxi's eyes, all heads were immediately.
She was still in the empty space, and she glanced over. In addition to the blue sparrow, she also saw the egret, the other maids, the tearful Xue Minglang, Xue Mingli and Xue Chi, and Xue Tingzhi who was standing silently beside her. …
"Mother, you are awake."
"Mother..."
They all looked at her with great worry and surprise, but at this moment, Lu Jinxi only had an indescribable exhaustion, and he couldn't raise his hand to comfort them, let alone say a word.
She blinked slowly and just lay there without moving.
Undoubtedly, this is a strange, almost world-weary indifference.
Everyone noticed it at once.
Whether it is the imperial physician from the palace or the ghost hand Zhang from Huishengtang, they have all explained that if the lady wakes up, what she needs is recuperation.
So Qingque was busy with tears, and first advised everyone to go back to rest.
Although the children were reluctant, there was chaos in the house, and it was impossible for the nuns to let them stay here, or to persuade them to leave.
Xue Tingzhi watched her for a while, and finally left.
From beginning to end, Lu Jinxi's dazed gaze never landed on them.
"Ma'am, it's good if you wake up. Drink some medicine first."
Qingque's eyes are still red, and the person has lost a lot of weight, looking like a pin-shaped haggard.
The egret on the side also had a pale face. Seeing that Lu Jinxi didn't move, he stretched out his hand and supported her against the pillow with the maid next to him.
Only then did her eyes turn a little bit.
Then he blinked again and looked at them.
That kind of eyes, I don't know what day and night, there is a little vague daze, but it quickly turned into an indescribable condensed concentration.
Like an ancient well, like a deep sea.
Lu Jinxi didn't take the medicine, her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, and she only asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"
"It's been more than four days."
Egret can't hide her emotions very much. Hearing her opening her mouth to ask this, she almost stopped crying.
It was dusk now.
The setting sun on the horizon is sinking, and the drunken afterglow scatters inside and outside the yard, and also casts the swaying tree shadows outside the window into the window.
The room was full of peace and tranquility.
Lu Jinxi's gaze shifted, staring at the shadow of the tree outside the window, but what came to mind was the scene before and after his fall from the horse that day.
Slight dizziness and stupor.
She asked again, "Have those mountain bandits been caught?"
"Most of them have already been put to death, but I heard that a few escaped." This time it was Qingque who answered, and she was a witness, so it was inevitable that she was a little terrified, "The slaves were imprisoned in the back mountain by them at the time, when they escorted He The commanders are all gone. Four days ago, thanks to Master Fang, who used his soldiers like gods and made a surprise attack from the rear, he captured these thieves in one fell swoop and rescued you."
"Fang Shaoxing..."
Lu Jinxi muttered in a low voice, but did not speak for a long time.
She didn't speak, and Egret Qingque didn't dare to speak.
That's how the medicine bowl was held.
The vague heat rose from the bowl full of bitterness and gradually spread throughout the house.
The moment she woke up, the news had already spread.
When the sky did not reach the horizon, footsteps were heard outside.
It's just that it wasn't any elder in the house who came, but Wei Xian, the third young lady who used to be at odds with Lu Jin earlier.
"Second sister-in-law is awake!"
Familiar timbre, familiar tone, and familiar sarcasm, but this sarcasm has a completely different meaning from the past.
Like puzzlement, like envy.
Still dressed in magenta, Baidie wore a flower-horse-faced skirt, and her gait when walking was considered graceful. Wei Xian walked in from the outside, holding a small satin fan painted with peony between her slender fingers.
Looking at Lu Jinxi on the bed, the bottom of his eyes became even more strange.
She always regarded Lu Jinxi as an enemy.
Just because the hero she admired most back then was Xue Kuang, like countless ladies in the capital, she had thought of marrying him.
But who would have thought, the emperor's decree together, pointed out the marriage for him.
The girl's thoughts when she was pregnant with spring, so she died in the middle.
Like other women in the capital, she knew that she had no hope. After all, Xue Kuang's wife was Lu Jinxi, who was as famous as her sister Wei Yi.
Although not necessarily smart, her beauty is still recognized by everyone.
Wei Xian envied her and envied her.
But before Xue Kuang's accident, her feelings for Lu Jin's cherishment were limited to this, and there was no more overstepping and escalation.
until the bad news came.
Such a cowardly woman...
Before Xue Kuang was alive, he was weak and easy to deceive. After his death, how could he support such a large general's mansion? Her incompetence made the whole capital see a joke!
And how could she allow the family of the person she once admired to be criticized by others
So that year, despite her family's objections, she chose Xue Kuang's incompetent younger brother Xue Rin without hesitation.
Just to get into this home.
Only to drive out the woman who brought shame to the General's House.
From Wei Xian's point of view, Xue Kuang was a great hero, and the person who could stand by her side should at least be a woman who could rival her sister-in-law.
The cowardly and incompetent Lu Jinxi would not even deserve to be buried with Xue Kuang if he died one day.
Even her tablet should not be enshrined in the Xue family.
She did everything possible to bully her and seize her power, and she also tried her best to design her, wanting her to go out, the widow loses her virginity...
She wished she would remarry and leave the Xue family.
But what about now
What I had been looking forward to for many years, suddenly there was an unexpected surprise development. Even as more details of the bandit suppression incident came out, it caused a sensation in the entire capital and caused countless rumors...
Wei Xian was not very happy.
At least, not as happy as she thought and longed for.
even…
When she saw Lu Jinxi, who woke up, leaning on the head of the bed so calmly, she felt an unspeakable melancholy in her heart.
The footsteps stopped quietly.
Wei Xian stood on the edge of Lu Jinxi's bed, and the sarcasm when she entered the room suddenly subsided a little, and turned into a kind of pity that she didn't even think of.
"Second sister-in-law, you are in big trouble..."
