Being a Lady of an Influential Family - Chapter 595
Chapter 595 Ms. Zhuo’s Extraordinary: Young and Happy (13)
When Zhuo Lin woke up, she found herself lying in a strange room. Before she sat up, she heard Long Xiao’s voice coming from the side, “Are you awake?”
Long Xiao is wearing a loose casual dress, standing on the edge of the bed frowning and looking at her.
Zhuo Lin sat up and said, “Cousin, why have 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 should talk about what happened to you.”
Zhuo Lin smiled bitterly: “What else can happen? That’s what you see.”
Long Xiao’s face darkened, “Really Fu Zheng has someone out there? I’m going to clean him up!” Although Zhuo Lin is only his cousin, Long Xiao still put her under his own category. Can his cousin of Long Xiao be bullied by Fu?
Zhuo Lin shook her head and said: “No, we don’t have any relationship anymore.”
Long Xiao was taken aback, his expression became serious, “You are really divorced? You…Although the person Fu Zheng is not a thing, he is still sincere to you. Is there any misunderstanding in the process?”
Zuo Lin twitched at the corner of her lips and asked, “Cousin, are there anyone besides your sister-in-law?”
Long Xiao was a little uncomfortable for a while, not as embarrassed, but talking to Zhuo Lin, who was regarded as his younger sister, about his backyard, which was somewhat strange.
He didn’t answer Zhuo Lin but already understood, “What did my sister-in-law say?”
Long Xiao didn’t care very much, “What’s the point of this? Isn’t it all like this?” He is not a devoted person, but he is not too affectionate. There are two concubines in the family, both of which were taken after the wife gave birth to the eldest son not long ago.
Zuo Lin sighed lightly and said: “I am different from my cousin, I am probably…the kind you said, jealous?”
Long Xiao said: “If you don’t want that woman to come in, Fu Zheng wouldn’t…” Long Xiao still has confidence in this point. Fu Zheng is on the outside and looks like a wife in front of his cousin. strict. What’s more, Long Xiao didn’t think that so-called woman could be compared to Zhuo Lin.
Zhuo Lin said: “Cousin, it doesn’t matter how that woman is. The important thing is that… I can’t make it through here. It doesn’t mean that Fu Zheng asked the girl to kill the child or send the person away. Yes. Instead of leaving a knot forever and resenting each other in the end, it is better to give up as soon as possible.”
Long Xiao was stunned. He heard that Fu Zheng and Zhuo Lin were not in a hurry when he first arrived in the capital. Who wouldn’t make trouble if something like this happened? Even if Zhuo Lin didn’t make trouble, he still had to help her beat Fu Zheng.
But she didn’t expect Zhuo Lin to think so, she didn’t know what to say for a while.
Long Xiao said slowly: “In this world, how many men can…” Three wives and four concubines have been here for so many years, and people have long regarded it as justified.
Zuo Lin smiled lightly and said: “So, I don’t force it. I am lucky to have it, but I will not die.”
Long Xiao shook his head and frowned, “Do you know why you fainted?”
Zuo Lin frowned and said, “I feel upset and uncomfortable in my body these days. I originally planned to see the doctor in a few days. What’s wrong with me?” She really wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to her physical condition these past few days.
Long Xiao said sternly: “Alin, you’d better think about divorce again. You are pregnant, it’s been two months.”
The room was silent for a while, and it took a long while to hear Zhuo Lin’s whisper, “So…it’s like this.”
Zhuo Lin lowered her head and gently stroked her abdomen. In fact, she didn’t feel anything, but she always felt that it was a little different.
Long Xiao said: “You divorced Fu Zheng, what should you do with your child? You don’t plan to have this child?”
Zhuo Lin said: “Why? I will naturally give birth to this child. Does my cousin think I can’t support my child?”
Long Xiao said in disapproval, “What did Fu Zheng say? Don’t let him know the existence of the child? Is it really good for him to treat the child? If the child asks you who his father is in the future, what will you do?” Zhuo Lin was silent for a moment, and said, “Cousin, I and Fu Zheng are already divorced. I will leave the capital for a while, and wait until…everything is stable before we come back. As for the child…he already has a child, so it should be calculated. A little older than my child. When the child grows up, I will tell him the truth.”
Long Xiao patted his forehead with a headache, he didn’t expect Zhuo Lin to be so decisive.
“It’s not easy to take a child by yourself, have you really thought about it?” Long Xiao said with a complicated expression.
Zuo Lin slowly nodded, and said softly: “I have decided, cousin, I am afraid it will be troublesome for a while.”
Long Xiao also had to sigh, and said: “In that case, you can go to Beisi Province to live for a while. It is more convenient to have your aunt and cousin take care of.”
Zhuo Lin smiled and said: “It doesn’t have to be so troublesome. Fu Zheng might still find me when I look back. I just want my cousin to help me keep it secret.”
Zuo Lin knows enough about Fu Zheng. Today, she was divorced and separated, but she might regret it later.
If you know that she is pregnant, it will be even more troublesome.
Long Xiao was a little worried, “Then…you live here?”
Zhuo Lin said: “I promised to help your Majesty with one thing yesterday. I will go out for a long trip and be back in about two or three months.”
“Are you crazy?!” Long Xiao said solemnly, “You are still pregnant! Xiao…How did your Majesty let you help him out?!”
Zhuo Lin smiled and said: “I just learned about it, and my Majesty naturally didn’t know. This is an opportunity I won by myself, not only to help your Majesty, but also to my own benefit. Moreover, there are people accompanying and taking care of me along the way. It’s not going to a poor place, don’t worry.”
“Where are you going?” Long Xiao asked.
Zhuo Lin said: “Confidentiality.”
Seeing what Long Xiao wanted to say, Zhuo Lin said: “Cousin, don’t worry, I know it in my heart. I am more afraid of death than anyone else, and I won’t make fun of myself and my children. I did this with Fu Zheng, and I really don’t want to be involved. Stayed in the capital. Go for a walk, maybe it will be better.”
Long Xiao asked: “Are you really not going to give Fu Zheng another chance?”
Zhuo Lin smiled and did not answer, but Long Xiao already understood what she meant.
”Well, since you have already decided, tell me if you have any difficulties. Anyway, we are still our own people.” Long Xiao said.
Zuo Lin nodded, “Okay, thank you cousin.”
The next day, Long Xiao still went to beat Fu Zheng.
Fu Zheng did not fight back this time, and was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face. He didn’t fight back, Long Xiao felt boring instead, and quickly stopped. He sneered at Fu Zheng, turned and left.
Since that day, Fu Zheng never saw Zhuo Lin again.
Even the division of property was handled by people close to Long Xiao. Zhuo Lin really didn’t want any property of Fu Zheng, so the division was clear.
Looking at the pile of bank bills and land deeds placed in front of him, Fu Zheng sneered and threw the things into the box intact to the person who came to the agent, got up and walked out.
The person sent by Long Xiao was stunned holding a box of valuable things and went back to see Long Xiao. Whether others are leaving or divorcing their wives, for fear that the other party will take advantage of themselves, it is the first time that both parties regard money so much. Like dung.
Long Xiao could only wave his hand helplessly: “Let’s let it go, let’s talk later.” Zhuo Lin has left the capital, which is indeed decisive.
Because of the divorce between Fu Zheng and Zhuo Lin, the capital has been a topic for a while, but there are so many things happening in the huge capital every day, and this incident has gradually subsided after only a few days of excitement.
On the seventh day of the divorce, Fu Zheng went to Beijing University to find Zhuo Lin and was told that Zhuo Lin had taken a long vacation.
On the tenth day, Fu Zheng found Long Xiao who was about to leave the capital. Long Xiao refused to tell him Zhuo Lin’s whereabouts. Fu Zheng and Long Xiao had a fight and returned without success.
On the fifteenth day, the old lady of the Fu family and the old lady rushed to the capital. The old lady beat her son, but failed to find Zhuo Lin.
Three days later, Mrs. Fu took the charge and took Feng’s mother and daughter back to the Fu’s villa. However, they still did not give Feng’s identity. Fu Zheng ignored this and still looked for Zhuo Lin everywhere.
One month later, Fu Zheng was rushed back to the south, while Zhuo Lin was on the ship about to arrive at Ilya.
The exhaustion of the sea road and the toss during pregnancy made her lose a circle, but standing on the bow of the ship looking at the endless blue sea, watching the seabirds in the distance where the sea and the sky meet, her expression became more tenacious.
Only caressing her abdomen, the eyebrows flashed tenderly when she lowered her head slightly.
In the middle of June, Zhuo Lin returned to the capital quietly. 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 her eldest sister Sheng Zhuoyan in Wei’s house, and also hugged her two-year-old nephew.
Sheng Zhuolin persuaded her to reconcile with her family as usual, Zhuolin just smiled 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 she bid farewell.
Long Xiao happened to be in the capital, and he was relieved to see Zhuo Lin’s ruddy complexion despite having a big belly.
Long Xiao said helplessly: “Your aunt knew that I had let you go abroad, and almost broke my leg.” Long Xiao was very wrong about this, he didn’t know that Zhuo Lin could say that the far door turned out to be abroad. But this time he was completely convinced by this cousin, which is really not something that ordinary women can do.
Zhuo Lin smiled and said, “I have worked hard for my cousin, but…have you been to the capital a little bit more times this year?” That’s it last time, this time she came back and Long Xiao is still in the capital. Not only that, she also heard about these. Long Xiao also visited the capital twice during the month. In other words, it takes an average of more than a month to make a trip.
Long Xiao said: “Not only I run often, but also Fu Zheng.” After saying this, Long Xiao paused, and he was relieved to see Zhuo Lin’s expression as usual.
Zhuo Lin’s eyes drooped slightly, and one hand stroked her abdomen, which was already quite small, “What happened?”
Long Xiao said: “Nothing. I originally wanted to pick you up to the four northern provinces, but recently the four northern provinces are not very peaceful, and the capital is better. You want to stay in the capital and wait until the northeast is peaceful before taking your children.”
Zhuo Lin smiled, “I can’t get out like this. It’s the same everywhere. You should be careful.” Zhuo Lin also knows that there have been some unpleasant disturbances in the North Four Provinces recently, and asked with some worry. Said: “Auntie and sister-in-law Ayue are all right?”
Long Xiao said: “Don’t worry, the Long Family has some foundations 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’ll tell you, even if I don’t. You will know soon.”
Zuo Lin was a little confused, “What’s wrong with Fu Zheng?”
Long Xiao said: “I don’t know whether it was right to help you hide from him. After you left, he looked for you for two months, and then he probably gave up. But… the old lady of the Fu family took the charge and took the Feng daughter back. So, I just kept it without the status. Last month, Fu Zheng took two women back, and it seemed that he was going to break the jar.”
Zuo Lin did not speak, and after a long silence, she said calmly: “It’s nothing, what he wants to do is his freedom.”
Long Xiao shook his head, he knew that these two people would not be able to go back at all.
If Zhuo Lin couldn’t accept even one accident and concealment, Fu Zheng’s doing this now would be tantamount to completely breaking her own back. Perhaps Fu Zheng himself understood this truth, so he cut off his thoughts so simply, right?
These two people seem to be very different, but in fact they are the same. Once the decision is made, he will cut off all his retreat without hesitation, and never leave himself a bit of leeway.
Zhuo Lin whispered: “Cousin, that’s it, don’t mention him in the future.”
Long Xiao nodded, “Okay, this is the person he threw to me before to help you, you can see how to deal with it.” Long Xiao put a box in front of her, Zhuo Lin of course knows what’s inside. Things, didn’t say much, put them away and put them aside.
It’s not boring to stay in the house without going out. She has gained a lot from this trip. She had been busy all the way before and couldn’t sort it out. Now she has time to digest these things when she is free.
On this trip abroad, she saw a wider world, and saw more customs and customs. Compared with the previous efforts, she felt that she had a better view of the future.
It’s just that she needs more time to think and make feasible plans for the future.
There is also the baby in the belly. When she first felt the baby’s activities, Zhuo Lin was so happy that she wanted to cry.
This baby will be the closest person to her in this world from now on. If she can’t sleep at night, she will go through a thick dictionary to pick a name for the baby.
Occasionally, she also thinks of Fu Zheng.
Although she does not go out, the news is not obscure. Two days ago, she suddenly heard a somewhat funny news-it is said that Feng was not pregnant at all.
But, the more ridiculous news is…Feng is really pregnant now, and has been pregnant for five months.
In other words, Fu Zhenggang divorced her or she was pregnant before she was divorced. Feng’s pretending to be pregnant may just have not been found out.
Hearing this news, Zhuo Lin was stunned and finally she just shook her head and stroked her stomach and smiled faintly.
Faced with this news, outsiders did not know what the old lady and old lady of the Fu family thought. Fu Zheng stated that he took another woman back from the theater.
The young and promising General Fu spent half a year to complete the complete transformation from a good man with deep affection to the unrestrained love.
Zuo Lin couldn’t help thinking, Fu Zheng was probably really wronged with her. Just less than half a year after the divorce, the family accepted three concubines in succession.
In a blink of an eye, it entered August. A few days before Zhuo Lin was about to give birth, Mrs. Sheng suddenly appeared at the Long’s mansion.
She mocked Zhuo Lin as usual, and then said with a cold face that she was here to take care of Zhuo Lin’s confinement.
Zuo Lin didn’t really believe this. Her mother hadn’t even taken care of her sister during her confinement, so how could she travel all the way to take care of her?
At this time, chaos has begun to sprout in the capital, and Long Xiao has returned from Beisi Province, but he is very busy every day. Originally, Zhuo Lin could occasionally help him analyze the situation, but as the labor time got 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 the trouble is big, the Fu family will inevitably be disturbed. Now that the Fu family is in a mess, Zhuo Lin really doesn’t want her child to have anything to do with the Fu family.
Mrs. Sheng was arranged to live outside by Long Xiao, and she could only come and take a look every day. People were staring at her when she went out and didn’t have to worry about what she was doing. Those who stared at Mrs. Sheng also found that she was peaceful every day, just to see Zhuo Lin tell her about the things that need to be paid attention to when giving birth, there was no extra action, as if she was really just a mother to take care of her daughter who was about to give birth. .
Everyone felt that everything was arranged properly, but things were so coincidental, perhaps this should be called fate.
On this day, several warlords sent troops at the same time, threatening the royal family to relinquish power. The soldiers and horses guarding the capital also followed up their troops and completely betrayed the imperial family. That day, the streets of the capital were full of soldiers and horses slaughtering.
Zhuo Lin was launched at this time, and Zhuo Lin knew that she was going to give birth when the pain came.
There was still a faint sound of killing in the distance, and there were soldiers from the Long family guarding the entire villa, beware of people rushing in.
Zuo Lin looked at the sky while holding the window, vaguely as if the moon in the sky was stained a little scarlet.
She smiled helplessly, stroking her chubby abdomen.
Born on such a day, I hope that everything will be reversed and the baby can live smoothly and safely.
The chaos after was beyond everyone’s expectations, and the entire capital was plunged into a complete disorder. The doctor and Wen Po, who had originally arranged to help deliver the baby, were unable to come over, and Long Xiao was not at home. In desperation, the butler had no choice but to take Zhuo Lin to the hospital.
Zhuo Lin didn’t remember everything after , but she only remembered the severe pain, the noisy and chaotic screams in her ears, and the sound of an illusion or a real killing from nowhere. Later, there was the cry of the baby, and I don’t know when to hear her mother’s vicious curse.
Like a dream and waking up, she seemed to see her mother’s swaddling baby in one hand, her eyes full of viciousness.
She tried hard to open her eyes, she wanted to reach out and hold her. But she couldn’t move anymore, and finally fell into the endless dark abyss amidst the faint cry of the baby.
It was a few days after waking up again, and they told her that her child…died.
Congenital deficiency, died soon after birth.
After , Zhuo Lin’s memory was vague for quite a while, and she had almost no impression of the changes that affected the entire Anxia. What happened later, she didn’t know how the warlords and the royal family negotiated a compromise in the end. She buried her child, it was indeed a very small child. She wondered if it was because she was running around when she was pregnant that the baby was so vulnerable? Wouldn’t it be so easy if he was healthier?
But at the same time, she also knew that even if the baby is weak, it won’t be gone so quickly.
He was killed by someone, and she wants to avenge her baby!
The capital is still in chaos, and Long Xiao is still busy every day. Zhuo Lin, who was just able to get 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 for her daughter in confinement really went home early, and saw Zhuo Lin suddenly appear her rare lust. Zhuo Lin just sneered at her, turned and left without entering the door.
