MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 682 [Verse] I only hope that your heart will be like mine (1)

As dusk fell, the magnificent house with its carved galleries and painted buildings dimmed, the setting sun gave back its last rays of light, and finally, the whole house fell into boundless darkness.

 Dong Qing was sitting in the room, his heart seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

The maidservant Shu entered slowly and gently. She opened the fire folding box and lit the candle.

The room was suddenly illuminated. Dong Qing was so frightened that she quickly covered her eyes with her hands and said, "Why did it get dark so quickly today?"

The servant glanced at the master and said helplessly: "Young madam, you have been sitting there for several hours." As she said that, she opened the food box in her hand, and while setting out the rice, she persuaded: "You are welcome at noon. You haven’t eaten yet, so let’s eat something first.”

 Dong Qing waved his hand and said, "I'm not hungry."

The servant looked at his master and asked hesitantly: "Young madam, do you really want to go south to find the eldest son?"

Dong Qing nodded and said: "Since I said to go, I will go of course." As she said that, she looked up at the servant and asked, "How are things packed?"

The servant replied: "There are still several days before we leave Beijing. We just need to pack our things slowly. Madam doesn't need to worry about this."

Dong Qing glanced at the servant who looked worried, and she asked: "But what did the stepmother send to say?"

 Dongqing's biological mother died young, and now this is her father's step-in-law.

The servant hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully: "My wife heard that you were going to the south, and today she sent Nanny Li, who is with her, to come here. She originally wanted to see you, but when I saw that you were in a bad mood today, I stopped you. She didn’t let in.”

Dong Qing knew what her stepmother meant without even thinking about it. She smiled bitterly and replied, "But mother doesn't want me to go to Yuzhou, right?"

"That's right." Shishu frowned and replied, "Mama Li said a lot, but after all, she just doesn't want you to leave the capital."

The servant sighed and continued: "Madam, I'm afraid that if the eldest son insists on staying in Yuzhou, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back for a while."

Although her stepmother has a gentle face and treats her kindly, she has her own flesh and blood, so no matter how kind she is to her, how good can she be?

In the past, she was well-known in the palace, and her stepmother was also famous among the ladies in the capital. Now that she has married into a prestigious family like the Duke's family, her mother's family will naturally benefit from it.

Now the stepmother's younger brother has grown up. Although he has a good character, he has mediocre qualifications. He relied on his father's connections to get a free position, but the stepmother was not satisfied with this and repeatedly asked Dong Qing to do it. The younger brother came forward to find a good job.

Dong Qing has not yet done this for her mother's family, so of course her stepmother doesn't want her to leave at this juncture.

Although Dongqing's natal family is not as good as the Duke's family, it is still a wealthy family. However, although there are many relatives, how many people really care about and care for her?

 Dong Qing only felt sad.

She sneered and said calmly: "If mother sends people again in the past two days, just send them all away."

After saying that, he added: "Even if she comes in person, I won't see her."

Her parents only wanted to take advantage of her, and they never really cared about whether she was doing well or not.

After hearing the words, the servant agreed and glanced at the master's increasingly gloomy face. She began to persuade: "Since the young lady married into the prince's house, the eldest young master has noticed the young lady's thoughts and servants. The eldest young master loves the young lady very much. The reason why there is a gap between you and the young master is also due to the lack of communication." The servant paused, and then said: "I forgive you for having the courage to advise you, but you can bend down and show your kindness to the young master, and how can you do it? How about it?"

The servant was trying to persuade him, but Dong Qing remained silent. The servant saw that she really listened to the advice this time, and continued: "The eldest son treats you like a red city. He left with a misunderstanding. It's been more than a year since we parted, and you haven't written a letter to him. The eldest son is over there. I don't know how sad I feel." "Didn't he never write a letter home to me?" Dong Qing said angrily. : "He refuses to believe me, and he won't tell me directly what's on his mind. Why should I show my kindness to him in return?"

 “That’s it, I’m tired today, so I’ll go and rest first.”

With that said, Dong Qing went into the inner room. She, who always loved cleanliness, went to bed without taking a shower for the first time. She lay on the bed and tossed and turned for a long time, but she was not sleepy at all. Dong Qing simply got up again. He took care of himself and went to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Dong Qing still didn't feel sleepy at all. She sat in front of the dressing mirror, combing her hair carefully with a horn comb in her hand. She glanced at her own shadow in the bronze mirror. In a daze, she saw Li Kun slowly walking towards him. Come.

He was just like when they were newly married. He walked straight towards her as soon as he entered the door, with a gentle smile on his lips.

 Dong Qing immediately turned around.

 Where is the shadow of Li Kun?

 It was nothing more than her own hallucination.

 Dong Qing threw the comb on the dressing table, got up and got into bed.

 That night, she slept very uneasily, and her dreams were almost entirely filled with the shadow of Li Kun.

She dreamed that Li Kun had returned, and she went to meet him, but he turned away again. She was so anxious that she chased him behind, calling him, but in the end she saw Li Kun holding another man in his arms in the fog. Woman, Dong Qing couldn't see the woman's face clearly in her dream, but she could only see Li Kun's eyes full of tenderness towards her. The tenderness in his eyes that he once only gave to her was now all given to another woman.

 Dong Qing felt heartbroken.

 She struggled to wake up from her dream, her face cold and full of tears.

Finally, it was hard to stay up until daylight. Dong Qing got up early. After tidying up, she called her maidservant Shu Shu.

Shi Shu rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked in. Seeing that Dong Qing had packed up, she was surprised and said: "Young madam, why did you get up so early today?"

Dong Qing has been busy packing since ancient times, and replied without raising his head: "Go and order the mothers-in-law to pack their bags. I will go back to my mother-in-law in a while, and we will set off today."

“Departure? Where to go?” Shishu asked in surprise.

Dong Qing raised his eyes and glanced at her, then replied: "Of course I will go to Yuzhou to find my husband."

Yesterday when Shishu persuaded Dong Qing, he could see that although she was tough on her words, she had actually changed her mind. However, she did not expect that after such a night of hard work, the master was so impatient.

The servant hurriedly said: "The eldest lady wants us to go there with General Pei's troops. General Pei told the eldest lady yesterday that the troops and horses will set off in four or five days. Why should the young lady be in a hurry?"

Dong Qing frowned and replied: "I don't want to wait any longer." After that, he repeated: "I can't wait any longer."

Seeing the confused look on Shishu's face, she told her sincerely: "Shishu, to tell you the truth, since my husband left, I have been thinking about him every day. I understand what you have always said to me. It’s just that I have a strong temper and I don’t want to admit that I was wrong. I thought about it all night yesterday and finally figured it out. My husband is the only person in the world who treats me sincerely. If I lose him, I’m afraid I won’t be able to live with him for the rest of my life. , I can only live with that poor Qingao."

"Shishu, I miss my husband and I want to find him." At the end of the sentence, Dong Qing choked up.
