[Second update, 2700 words, so it's a bit late. 】
Aunt Xue heard Li Wan calling her to go out, and remembered that she had said she wanted to help herself, so she hurriedly cleaned up and left the "Shuyu Ci" and hurried to the outside world.
When I got to the outside, I saw that in the living room where the mist was rising, there was only a thinly-clothed Li Wan standing alone, and Su Yun and the other servants were not in sight.
Aunt Xue was a little puzzled. Seeing Li Wan like this, it was obvious that she had not bathed yet. Did she call herself out just to serve her in the bath
It's not impossible, but why
There should always be a reasonable explanation for calling the elders to help with the bath, right
Suspiciously took two steps forward, and was hesitating whether to take the initiative to ask the truth, but saw Li Wan ripped off the tie on his chest, half-truth and distress: "I left some traces before, I really dare not let it go. When others see it, they have to trouble my aunt."
As he said that, he unfolded his clothes left and right, revealing many blue, purple and red marks.
Aunt Xue was taken aback at first, and then two rainbows rose on her cheeks.
If she was a young girl with no experience, she might be frightened by these traces, but when Aunt Xue saw it, what she imagined was the fierce scene of the battle over the wall.
He couldn't help but feel heavy for a while, and he forgot to respond to Li Wan's request.
Seeing this, Li Wan didn't ask any more questions. He took care of himself to remove all restraints, immersed himself in the warm bathtub, and let out a sigh of turbidity.
At this moment, Aunt Xue came to her senses a little, and hesitantly picked up a shower brush, dipped it in soap and fragrance, and carefully began to scrub from her shoulders.
Li Wan let out a few snorts, and then slowly closed his eyes, and at the same time muttered to himself: "When Lan Geer was a child, when he was with him, he always felt that he was leaving. Don't let me go, and then gradually grew up, only to realize that he couldn't live without me, it was me who couldn't live without him."
"It's better during the day, but at night, my heart is empty, and I can't fill anything."
If others heard this, it was just a few grudges, but when it fell into Aunt Xue's ears, it was full of empathy.
Thinking back then, after her husband died, Aunt Xue devoted all her attention to her children, especially her eldest son Xue Pan. She was afraid of falling when she held it in her hand, and feared that it would melt when she held it in her mouth.
At first, he made trouble everywhere as if he was not stingy. Aunt Xue was heartbroken and hoped that he would be more sensible all day long.
But when Xue Pan became a relative and got a serious official body, Aunt Xue's heart seemed to be gouged out, and she couldn't fill the empty space.
Especially after Xue Pan married his daughter-in-law, the house was uneasy, and she didn't want to stay in Zijin Street for a long time.
It is said that there are still daughters and sisters around, but when there is no one in the middle of the night, it will inevitably give birth to a sense of loneliness.
Therefore, in the past two years, the husband, who had been dead for many years, with his face indistinct, appeared again and again in his dreams.
When the dead ghost was still there, I didn't feel so happy.
But when I think about it now, it is sweet and astringent, lingering...
"ah!"
With a cry of pain, Aunt Xue suddenly shivered, and she realized that she had forgotten the importance in her trance.
San San lifted the shower brush out of the water, not knowing what to say when she suddenly saw Li Wan chuckle, and then hurriedly covered her lips and blushed.
Aunt Xue was inexplicably laughed at by her, so she couldn't help but embarrassedly said, "I just lost my mind for a while, but it hurts you."
Li Wan shook his head, turned his eyes slowly, looked at the door and muttered to himself, "It's weird to say, I just asked him to be more ruthless, but now I can't bear the pain at all."
Aunt Xue naturally knew what she meant, her face flushed uncontrollably, and she subconsciously looked at the bruise.
For a while, the two women were speechless, their eyes blurred, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
After a long time, Li Wancai asked casually, "How did Auntie spend her time when she was lonely in the past?"
According to her original thoughts, Aunt Xue should talk about the common arrangements of women's families, and induce Li Wan to get back on the right track, no longer attached to adultery.
But after so many emotions just now, she was really not in the mood to say these falsehoods, so she shook her head: "What else? It's just a matter of life and death, even if you don't care about the relationship between husband and wife, you should always consider your children. "Wait, wait until Langer's Gold List, get married and have children, there will always be time for you to have time!"
As he spoke, his face could not help but give birth to some longing and anticipation.
However, there is still some sadness.
After all, the daughter-in-law has been married for more than two years, but she has not been moving. You must know that she has given birth to two before, so there is no reason why she cannot conceive.
Just as his thoughts were complicated, he suddenly felt a wet hand reaching out to the corner of his eye and stroking lightly.
Aunt Xue raised her head subconsciously to avoid it, and looked at Li Wan unhappily, only to see Li Wan dangling Bai Shengsheng's arms, her two wet fingers twitching gently, as if she was pinching something.
"Yeah, I used to be like my aunt, always thinking about how my children and grandchildren are."
Li Wan stared at his hand and muttered to himself: "But my heart is still... but there is still an empty space - after all, I am a mother, but I am also a woman of flesh and blood."
"Why do other people's husbands sing along, but only a few days after I got married, I became a lonely widow?"
"How many times have I dreamed of the dead ghost, cried, laughed, and begged, but I couldn't get a finger from him."
"Gradually he became blurred, and my heart became more and more empty..."
Aunt Xue listened to this murmur-like confidence, her heart seemed to be grasped by something, and she shrank inward tightly, and it was so empty that she couldn't reach the bottom.
That feeling, she couldn't be more clear!
However, when Li Wan changed the subject and trembled and said, "Until one day, I...", Aunt Xue scolded in time: "Child! Don't forget that you are the eldest grandma of Rongguo Mansion, and even more so. Brother Lan! Let’s talk about treasure…”
In a hurry, the name 'Baoyu' almost blurted out, but fortunately Aunt Xue still had some reason, and changed her mouth in time: "Besides that man is very good, it is impossible for him to form a husband and wife with you, but it will only ruin your life. Fame will ruin Langer's future!"
After a pause, she said sternly: "I promised you to hide from others, but you have to listen to me, and when you decide, you will decide!"
Li Wan seemed to be stunned, and did not speak for a while.
But just when Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief, raised the long-handled shower brush, and was about to help her wash her body so that the awkward conversation could be ended as soon as possible, Li Wan turned her attention to her face - to be precise, the corner of her eye. On that wet spot.
When Aunt Xue saw her staring at her, she subconsciously raised her hand to wipe away the wet marks, but before she could put her hand down, she heard Li Wan sigh again: "I thought Aunt was modest, but I just touched it. , I just realized that there are indeed some crow's feet."
Aunt Xue's movements froze, and she felt the slight folds from her fingertips, and an indescribable taste filled her heart, like anger, shame, and sadness.
Although it was just a few inconspicuous fine lines, these days it has become an indelible shadow on her heart.
The reason why I often talk about it is just to get a sentence of denial, so that the panic in my heart can be alleviated a little.
But at the moment, this uneasiness was brought to light by Li Wan mercilessly.
What this brought to Aunt Xue was naturally a shock that was incomprehensible to ordinary people.
But Li Wan's heartbreaking remarks did not end, and she continued: "If after some time, my aunt is really gone, will you regret it?"
"regret?"
Aunt Xue asked subconsciously.
"Yeah, sorry."
A bit of confusion flashed on Li Wan's face, as if she was talking to Aunt Xue, and she seemed to be talking to herself: "When China was no longer there, when Aunt Yi'er had her grandson, would she have some regrets and regrets about herself? Didn't you put aside all your worries and be a woman at will?"
As she said that, she gently stroked the red marks on her body, and her tone became more and more ethereal: "Even if it's only once, let the man you like, a man with real flesh and blood, fill in the empty space..."
"do not talk!"
Aunt Xue suddenly let out a low roar, interrupting Li Wan's words, glaring at her apricot eyes and scolding: "You are also knowledgeable and reasonable, but why... how dare you say these words?!"
"Forget this fallacy as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Saying that, he threw the long-handled brush into the tub, and entered the room without looking back.
Li Wan watched her leave silently, but she breathed a sigh of relief—according to Aunt Xue's usual gentle temperament, how could she be so indignant if she wasn't out of anger
Since she was angry and embarrassed, it meant that what she said just now had actually hit something deep in her heart.
I just don't know which person Aunt Xue had in mind just now...
