Chapter 284

Old Mistress Zhou was also shocked by her. When she regained her senses and saw her determined expression, she knew that she had made up her mind. If she didn't listen to her, she might cause more trouble! She had been stubborn since she was young. She could stop her for a while, but not forever!

Old Mistress Zhou's heart turned to ashes as she thought about it. Too lazy to change her mind, she covered her face and wiped her tears, "Forget it, forget it! As a mother, I'm doing this for your own good! It's not my intention to make you seek death! Let's not talk about this for now. We'll talk about it after the New Year. If you still refuse to budge by then, we won't talk about it anymore. Don't make a fuss with me! You're stabbing me in the heart with a knife! "

Her words made Zhou Jingyi sad again. She couldn't help but call out "Mother" and lay in her arms. Both mother and daughter cried bitterly.

The Zhou Family was fine for the time being. In the Shi Family, Shi Fengming's' illness' was improving day by day according to plan. His condition was under control, and after five to six days, he could 'barely' get out of bed and walk around.

Ever since Zhou Jingyi left, he never drank the disgusting medicine again. Xiao Cui brought it over as usual, and he passed it out without anyone noticing. But every time, he would inadvertently think of her. He would think of her quietly standing by the side, watching him drink the medicine with a pair of bright eyes.

That woman had become a nightmare that he could not shake off! Thinking about it made his heart sour.

Second Old Mistress Shi was in high spirits. She would visit him from time to time and couldn't help but introduce suitable ladies to him, describing them as fairies from the Nine Heavens.

Shi Fengming was absent-minded. How could he be interested? Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Mother, can you stop? You've just divorced, and you're already in a hurry to find a woman. Isn't it a little too fast? "

"Fast? What's fast! Isn't it better to prepare early than to be flustered when the time comes? "Second Old Mistress Shi sneered," And you say we're fast. Hmph, they're even faster than us! "

"What do you mean?" Shi Fengming suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You've been recuperating in this courtyard every day, of course you wouldn't know," Second Old Mistress Shi said with disdain, "Isn't it because of the Zhou Family? I heard that the couple was busy finding a woman for Zhou! Humph, how shameless! She had just left her husband's family and was in a hurry to remarry! But thinking about it, if we don't hurry up, who would fancy her in a year or two? "

Shi Fengming was stunned. At that moment, his heart seemed to have stopped beating! What did Mother say? She was going to marry again? She wanted to be someone's bride?

Shi Fengming suddenly felt a little sour and annoyed. He didn't have any such thoughts, but she couldn't wait to get married? Shi Fengming laughed at himself. He suddenly remembered that she had said that she liked him. When she was around, she took care of him so carefully. When she left, she was so sad. In fact, that was all! It turned out that it was a woman's nature to throw herself at another man in the blink of an eye, without exception! Well, since she was divorced, why couldn't she remarry? I seem to be a little angry, what am I angry about?

"This woman has no conscience. Don't be angry. It's not worth it!" Second Old Mistress Shi saw that his expression was a little ugly and snorted, "They know how to search, so do we! Don't worry, I'll definitely find you someone who's a thousand times better than her. Furthermore, I'll definitely hold the wedding ceremony before she gets married! I have to fight for this honor! "

"Mother, I don't want to now! Let's talk about it later! Don't bother me with this! " He didn't know why, but although he didn't agree with this matter before, he didn't reject it either. He had an indifferent attitude towards it, but at this moment, he really didn't like hearing her mention it. He didn't like it at all!

"That's good too! Mother will help you check it out first! Fengming, don't worry. If you don't agree this time, Mother won't force it on you! "Second Old Mistress Shi hurriedly added.

Shi Fengming couldn't be bothered to argue with her and silently agreed.

Second Old Mistress Shi smiled and stood up, "I see that your condition is slowly stabilizing. It's not right for you to stay in this remote courtyard alone! I'll get someone to tidy up the garden and throw away everything that shouldn't be there. Can you move back in a few days? "

"There's no need!" Shi Fengming hurriedly said. Seeing that his mother was a little stunned, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "I mean, why go through so much trouble? Don't the servants take care of it every day? I'll just move back directly! As for the things inside … don't touch them first, I'll take care of them myself! "

"Hehe, that's fine too!" Second Old Mistress Shi didn't mind and smiled, "Then let's leave it at that for now!" Second Old Mistress Shi knew very well how much her son hated Zhou Jingyi. She didn't believe that her son would leave her things behind after she left! He must be afraid that he didn't clean it up thoroughly enough, right? Second Old Mistress Shi thought so.

It was fine if Second Old Mistress Shi didn't mention this matter. Once she did, Shi Fengming couldn't stay in Bi Luo Pavilion any longer and was filled with thoughts of returning to Xiu Garden. That afternoon, he moved back to Xiu Garden.

Things were the same, but the people were different. It should be said that the things were the same, but the three people who were supposed to be there were missing. Zhou Jingyi left with Su Qing and Su Bi.

However, everything here still had traces of her aura and presence. Her favorite magnolia was planted in the courtyard. Her favorite spider plant was placed on the flower rack in front of the moon window. On the kang bed in the warm room, there was a half-finished needle and thread radish. Inside the needle and thread was an unfinished lotus colored handkerchief. On the soft couch, there was the embroidered blanket that she used to lie down and cover herself with …

The bedroom was decorated according to her preferences. In front of the dressing table, there was a white jade flat box with the rouge and powder she used before. The white jade comb with flowers and birds carved on the spine was even wrapped with her hair that had fallen off!

Shi Fengming slowly scanned the room and imagined her life here. Amidst all these beautiful things, she must be lonely, right? His heart suddenly felt a dull pain and was filled with unspeakable guilt. He suddenly remembered what his sister-in-law had said before: She was innocent, yet she had to bear all these things that she shouldn't have to bear!

He had always scoffed at that sentence, but now that he thought about it, he felt that it made some sense.

He unconsciously reached out and gently picked up the white jade comb. It was made of high-quality white jade, smooth and delicate, warm and unparalleled. Holding it in his hand, he felt a slight coolness. Her jet-black hair was wrapped around it, and the black and white were so distinct. Shi Fengming's other hand gently brushed her hair. It was soft and gentle. It seemed that this was the first time he had touched her hair like this, but it was her hair that had fallen off.

Shi Fengming sighed and put the white jade comb down again. He turned and left, standing in the corridor with his hands behind his back, lost in thought.

This was his courtyard. In the future, when he married another woman, it would also be that woman's courtyard. What about her? All traces of her would soon be wiped clean. In a few years, other than the servants occasionally mentioning her behind others' backs, no one would remember her. They would remember that this residence once had a mistress like her!

This was a matter of course, but as Shi Fengming thought about it, he felt a little scared and unwilling. He didn't want her traces to disappear. Suddenly, he felt that his thoughts were very laughable and boring, but he just had to think this way!

Shi Fengming's expression changed unpredictably. He stomped his feet and hurried out of the door in the direction of Ning Garden.

Shi Fengju had not returned yet. When Sang Wan heard that Second Young Master had come, she unconsciously frowned. Although Zhou Jingyi's matter had nothing to do with her, she was still somewhat dissatisfied with Shi Fengming.

So what if she was dissatisfied? No matter how dissatisfied she was, he was still her brother-in-law! Sang Wan could only invite him in.

Shi Fengming had just asked someone to inform him, but he regretted it in his heart. Seeing that a servant had come out to invite him in, he could only go in.

"Why isn't Big Brother back yet?" Shi Fengming smiled unnaturally.

Sang Wan smiled and said, "It's still a little early! He should be back in about an hour. Is Second Young Master looking for him for something? "

"Nothing!" Shi Fengming smiled and said, "It's just that I haven't seen Big Brother for a long time and wanted to talk to him!"

Sang Wan nodded her head with an "oh" and did not say anything else.

Shi Fengming sat for a while and felt bored, so he got up to leave. Sang Wan did not ask him to stay. She only smiled and said, "When Fengju comes back, I'll tell him. Let him look for you!"

"Thank you, Sister-in-law!" Shi Fengming nodded and smiled absent-mindedly.

When Shi Fengju came back, he changed his clothes and went to Xiu Garden. Shi Fengming was in a daze on the kang bed in the warm room with his legs stretched out. He held a book in his hands and his eyes were staring straight at the pages. No one knew what he was looking at. The servants were all holding their breaths as they waited outside. The house and courtyard were completely silent. Second Young Master had a bad temper, so the servants in Xiu Garden were also very obedient.

"You've moved back? I thought so. It must have been hard on you to endure being alone there for so long! "Shi Fengju came in with a smile.

"Big Brother!" Shi Fengming threw the book in his hand and sat up with a smile, "Big Brother, please have a seat!"

"Why did you look for me today?" Shi Fengju smiled and sat down.

Shi Fengming hesitated for a moment and shook his head with a smile, "Nothing much! I was just bored and wanted to talk to Big Brother! I forgot that Big Brother is a very busy person! "He said with a hint of self-mockery.

Shi Fengju smiled and said, "I think you've gotten sick from being too idle. When Second Uncle and Second Aunt get married for you, don't be so muddle-headed. Come with me to the shop!"

When Shi Fengming heard him say this, his face fell. He turned his head and said, "Why do you all always want me to get married? I won't! It'll be troublesome if I do! I'm fine like this now! I'm relaxed and carefree! "

Shi Fengming thought that his words were natural and unrestrained, but Shi Fengju could clearly hear the resentment and jealousy in his tone. Shi Fengju could not help but roll his eyes at him and thought to himself, You're just pretending all you want!

Shi Fengju said in astonishment, "What are you saying? How old are you? How can you say such things in a fit of pique? It's fine if you complain to me, but if you have the ability, go to Second Uncle and Second Aunt and tell them. Second Aunt will definitely make a big fuss! "

"Big Brother, you mustn't say anything in front of my mother!" Shi Fengming immediately became anxious. His mother had been happily nagging him about marriage these past few days. She nagged him so much that he was annoyed. If she knew about this, then she really didn't need to live anymore!
