Chapter 39

After leaving for dinner, Xiao Zhen didn't see Su Jin again for half a month. The little woman who usually comes to the front yard for nothing, seemed to be bound by the back yard overnight. If it weren't for the mother who revealed that she still talked and laughed and played with her, Xiao Zhen would have doubted whether Su Jin had disappeared out of thin air.

Half a month, Xiao Zhen's wounds have healed. Don't work too hard, it should be fine. Xiao Zhen has had enough of the days when he was stuck in the room every day and wanted to find the King of Liao to ask for an immediate recovery of his errand, but the King of Liao fell ill. It is said that since he was attacked by an assassin in Changsongling, the King of Liao was unable to sleep or eat and was in a trance. He fell on the bed in a daze, but he couldn't even stand up...

The sick King Liao sent a memorial to the court on his condition, and then closed his door to thank the guests. Unless there was an emergency military service, no one would see him.

Xiao Zhen, a subordinate who was ordered to take a leave, had to continue to stay at home to recuperate.

In the early winter of the north, it is windy, and it is rare that the sun is bright and the wind is clear. Amanyang's mother accompanied her to her small garden to play. Although the flowers have fallen and the leaves are yellow, there is Aman's favorite swing in the garden recently.

Su Jin sat on the kang and smiled and said to his daughter: "Mom is too lazy to move, so Aman will go and play with her godfather."

Seeing that his mother was holding needles and threads in her hands and a robe that had been sewn for her brother halfway, Aman went to find her godfather sensibly and did not make trouble for her.

To Aman and Xiao Zhen have always responded to every request, let alone simply playing with him?

He picked up Aman with his left hand and walked towards the back garden amid the cheers of the little girl. Qiuju wanted to follow him, but Xiao Zhen felt that there was a woman next to him staring at him and didn't let him go and play.

Aman was too young, Xiao Zhen shook the rope with one hand and steadily supported Aman with the other hand, shaking back and forth.

After playing for a while, Xiao Zhen suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. He looked up and saw a white skirt quickly hide behind the tree. The poplar tree was not thick, but only blocked the woman's head, but the dress was exposed outside. The woman seemed to know that she was not hiding tightly. She hesitated for a moment and slowly walked out.

"Mom!" Aman shouted happily.

Su Jin smiled at his daughter, looked at Xiao Zhen with guilt, then lowered his head slightly and walked over.

Aman jumped off the swing to pick up his mother. Xiao Zhen stopped beside the swing and looked at Su Jin in disbelief. He still held the gently shaking swing rope in his hand and forgot to let go.

Su Jin is beautiful, she smiles when she cries, she is beautiful when she is happy, and she is beautiful when she scolds people, but Xiao Zhen has never seen Su Jin show such a haggard side. She walked slowly, her face was pale and bloodless, with a faint blue and black eyes, and she seemed to have lost weight, as if she had changed into someone else.

He stared at Su Jin blankly.

Su Jin seemed to be "scary" when she didn't know she was like this, but instead looked at Xiao Zhen's right arm worriedly and said worriedly: "Sir, I'm still injured. Let's go back and rest and let the maid play with Aman."

Xiao Zhen saw her lips moving, but he didn't hear what she said. Looking at her lifeless pale face, Xiao Zhen finally returned to his soul and said anxiously: "Why didn't anyone tell me if my brother and sister are so sick?"

Su Jin seemed to be frightened by his tone, took two steps back, then lowered his eyes and said, "I'm fine, sir, don't worry."

Xiao Zhen didn't believe it, annoyed that she didn't know how to pity her body, so she had to go to the front yard with a calm face and sent someone to hire a doctor.

"Sir!" Su Jin grabbed his arm anxiously.

Xiao Zhen's body stiffened and looked down. She quickly let go of her hand as if she was scalded. When Wuyan saw him, Su Jin turned to the side and smiled bitterly: "I'm a heart disease. I can't cure me even if I hire a doctor, so don't worry. Anyway, I, I'm really gone. If you have less burden, you'll live more freely."

She didn't cry, but her miserable expression and tone made the person she saw feel distressed. Xiao Zhen not only felt distressed, but also was frightened by the suicide thought in her words. He couldn't help but take a step forward and stared at her lower eyes and asked: "What do you mean by your brother and sister? Who said Xiao treats you as a burden?"

Su Jin turned his head and said nothing, but his meaning was expressed: You just treat me as a burden!

Xiao Zhen was extremely wronged and wanted to ask clearly, but saw Aman standing among the two, looking at them blankly with his little head tilted. Although the girl's baby was small, he shouldn't understand what they were saying, but when Aman liked to learn to speak, Xiao Zhen suddenly worried that Aman would remember their words and would accidentally spread them one day.

Su Jin didn't explain, is he also worried about Ah Man?

Xiao Zhen can't ask the other things, but Su Jin is so sick that Xiao Zhen must ask. After pondering for a moment, Xiao Zhen looked at Su Jin and whispered: "At noon, please ask your brother and sister to go to the front yard for meals. I have something to discuss with you. I will instruct Aunt Liu, saying that my arm has been completely restored and a table of good dishes will be celebrating."

Su Jin pursed her lips and made accusation with great concern.

Xiao Zhen looked at her pale face and begged: "No matter what, I will ask the doctor to treat his younger brother and sister first?"

Su Jin immediately shook his head, but refused to seek medical treatment.

Xiao Zhen had no choice but to do anything to her, so he went back to the front yard alone. After thinking about it, he was still worried and asked Xu Wen to hire a doctor.

When the doctor came, Su Jin had to ask the doctor to take the pulse. Xiao Zhen was not by his side when he was in the backyard.

"Does your wife have abdominal pain?" Su Jin's period came, and the doctor skillfully asked some common questions for women.

Su Jin nodded in annoyance. She had regular menstruation, but sometimes it hurts sometimes. It was cold in winter, and the pain was quite severe this time, so her face was so bad. But it was because of this that Xiao Zhen really thought she was terminally ill.

The two chatted, and the doctor prescribed Su Jin a prescription for ease of abdominal pain, so he said goodbye. In the front yard, Xu Wen was ordered by Xiao Zhen and had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the doctor, he inquired about Su Jin's condition. How could the doctor complain to a man who had nothing to do with him? He only said that Su Jin had some abdominal pain and was not seriously injured.

Xu Wen sent the doctor away and then went to report to Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen doesn't believe it!

She was so haggard, and it was definitely not an ordinary abdominal pain. Maybe it was a heart disease. The doctor couldn't find the cause of the disease and just perfunctorily treated her.

The doctor's perfunctory behavior further strengthened Xiao Zhen's determination to talk with Su Jinche.

At noon, Su Jin led his daughter over, Xiao Zhen coaxed Aman to the kitchen to see what dishes he had cooked. Aman was foolish and happily led Qiu Ju to do things for his godfather. As soon as Aman left, Xiao Zhen immediately looked at Su Jin who was sadly bowed his head and asked in a low voice: "Who tells his brother and sister, I will treat you as a burden?"

Su Jin still didn't say anything, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes silently.

Xiao Zhen:...

She did this, and Xiao Zhen felt more uncomfortable than being scolded by her pointing at the nose. She clumsyly advised her: "Sister-in-law should not do this. What is the pain? Just tell me, if Xiao did something wrong and made his younger brother-in-law sad, Xiao punished himself."

Su Jin's shoulders shook even harder, and suddenly left the seat and ran into the side room like an escape.

Xiao Zhen stood up, but his eyes passed by the open main hall door and he stopped again. When he went in with her, he became an orphan man and an orphan woman.

Xiao Zhen was in a dilemma. At this moment, an uncontrollable thrust came from inside.

Xiao Zhen's heart trembled, and he no longer cared about anything else, and walked towards the side room with big strides.

He opened the curtain and stopped one foot outside. Something suddenly pounced on his arms and hugged him tightly.

Xiao Zhen was shocked, afraid that he would be seen, so he instinctively stepped in with his other leg in first. The curtain was blocked tightly, and Xiao Zhen stuttered: "Sister-in-law, you, what do you mean?"

Su Jin said nothing and just hugged her man hard, the man she liked!

She was much shorter than him, and her head was barely up to his shoulders. She hugged her like this, and her face was buried in his chest. The warm breath of breath came in through her clothes, making Xiao Zhen panic, and what made Xiao Zhen even more helpless was that she was trying to hug her tighter. As soon as she exerted her little hand, the pressure from her chest became obvious.

Xiao Zhen thought of the big buns she likes to make again...

"My brother and sister..." He had no choice but to hold her shoulder and wanted to push the person away.

Su Jin spoke before he exerted force and cried in a low voice: "The adults kept asking me, but in fact you know more about the reason why my heart disease came."

Xiao Zhen immediately forgot to push her, how could he know?

Su Jin continued to mock herself: "That day, when the lord saved me in the fire. When the lord pressed me to the ground, I would rather be trampled than protect me, my heart belonged to the lord. Later, every time I saw the lord, the deeper my admiration for the lord. That night, I carefully tentatively thought that the lord would not despise a widow like me. I dared to ask if the lord would want to marry me, but the lord made excuses. It was obvious that I had no me in my heart. So what kind of face do I have to get along with the lord? I moved away rashly, I was afraid that the people outside would be suspicious of the lord. Since I couldn't move, it would be better to be haggard every day and die of illness earlier. I was spared to stay here and ask the lord to rush but be afraid of losing morality, like a useless burden..."

Speaking of this, she sobbed softly.

She was crying, but Xiao Zhen felt hot all over. It turned out that she was not sarcastic or angry that night. She really liked him! She liked him, so she hugged him so tightly!

If there is still doubt and disbelief, it will disappear with her tight hug and sobbing sounds.

Xiao Zhen believed that what she said was true.

But after ecstasy, Xiao Zhen's heart seemed to be really suppressing a mountain of burden. Su Jin liked him, and he also liked Su Jin, but Su Jin was Feng Shi's widow. He once promised Feng Shi before his death that he would take care of Su Jin's three ladies, and he also vowed to the people of Zhangcheng that he would take care of his younger brothers and sisters' family. Now he can't control his heart, but if he marrys her, how can he be worthy of his good brother who died to save him?

Since she can't marry her, she shouldn't let her know, so that she wouldn't worry about her whole life and would not remarry others.

Xiao Zhen closed his eyes. There are countless heroes in the world. She will always meet a better one, a hero who can marry her dignifiedly.
