MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 747 [Excerpt] Holding hands and seeing each other but not knowing each other (8)
Since Tian became pregnant, Xie Hou's treatment of Fukang has returned to the way it was before. He is often away from the house, and even when he comes back occasionally, it is just perfunctory.
Fukang's health was already damaged after giving birth to her son. During the confinement period, she learned about Tian's pregnancy and was treated coldly by her husband. She was depressed all day long. After the confinement period, her health began to deteriorate. After becoming haggard, people are no longer as energetic as before.
On this day, it was daytime for her young son. Fukang, who had been lingering on the hospital bed for several days, got up early and insisted on the maids to dress her up. The maids couldn't resist her, so they just asked Xie Xian'er to come over.
When Xie Xian'er entered the inner hall, Fukang was sitting weakly in front of the dressing table, dragging his sick body, carefully selecting jewelry.
"Mother, the imperial doctor won't let you get up." Xie Xian'er called out and hurriedly entered the inner hall.
When Fukang saw his daughter, he beckoned her to him, pushed the jewelry in the dowry to her, and asked, "Xian'er, which hairpin do you think my mother is wearing?"
Xie Xian'er couldn't see that the reason why her mother forced her sick body to get up and dress up was because she wanted to see her father in a glamorous manner.
Her father has not been home for a long time. Today is her brother's 100th anniversary. With all her relatives and friends here, he will definitely come back.
Xie Xian'er glanced at her mother's face, which was so pale that there was no trace of blood. She felt sad for a while, so she pushed away the dowry and said angrily: "Why do you have to stand up when your mother is so ill?"
"Today your father comes back, and I don't want to see him like this." As he said that, Fukang took out a rose gold hairpin from the dowry and said with a smile: "Just wear this, this is when I got married to your father. He gave it to me, and at that time, he said to me, 'Our love is as strong as gold'."
When he said this, Fukang was immersed in the memories of the past, with a satisfied and happy smile on his face.
Although Xie Xian'er was angry at her mother's stubbornness towards her father, seeing that her mother was rarely happy, she couldn't bear to spoil her mother's interest, so she had no choice but to endure the sadness and put the gold hairpin on her mother's head.
Fukang looked at himself in the mirror and murmured: "Xian'er, mother doesn't understand why your father has changed his mind when he promised me our eternal love."
Her father's change of heart has only occurred now. When she was only four years old, she had seen her father hugging Na Tian with an intoxicated look on his face.
Xie Xian'er didn't know whether her mother really didn't understand, or whether she just pretended to be confused because she didn't want to face the facts.
In the final analysis, she was in too deep and couldn't extricate herself.
On this day, Xiehou finally came back, but he was busy entertaining guests in the front yard as soon as he entered the house, and Fukang waited for him in the inner hall. It was not until late at night that Xiehou came back drunk.
Fukang dragged her sick body and waited all day long, and her physical strength was already exhausted, but the moment she saw her husband, her eyes were still full of brilliance.
She called to him, panting and rushed to meet him.
"Aren't you sick? How come you don't want to rest?" Comparing Fukang's enthusiasm, Xuanping Hou was much colder. He helped his wife onto the couch and found an excuse to evade: "There is another room in the front yard. Our friends haven’t dispersed yet, I’ll come back to see you, I’ll have to go there in a while.”
Lately, he had been like this. Even if he came back with great difficulty, he would find an excuse to leave without even saying a few words to her.
Fukang's eyes dimmed when she heard this. She held back tears and asked in a low voice: "Consort, what did I do wrong?"
Xie Hou stopped leaving, turned to look at his wife indifferently, and replied: "You are a princess, so naturally you can do well anywhere."
"I don't want you to treat me as a princess!" Fukang stepped forward and grabbed her husband's sleeve. Because she was anxious, when she touched him, her body swayed slightly, and she said anxiously: "I am yours Wife, I love you with all my heart and have children for you. Please tell me what I did wrong to make you hate me so much."
“I’m not tired of you,” Xie Hou said indifferently.
"I beg you, don't treat me like this." Fukang pulled her husband's sleeves, with pleading eyes and a very humble attitude.
"Husband-in-law, I love you with all my heart. Now that we have children, life must be so happy. Why can't you focus on our mother and children? Could it be that I, as a wife, am not as good as Mrs. Tian?" A woman with no name or status?"
When Xie Hou heard his wife mentioning the Tian family, he couldn't bear it any longer. He pulled out his sleeves and almost threw Fukang to the ground. He looked at his wife coldly and said angrily: "Don't mention the Tian family to me. Don't be hypocritical in front of me. You kept saying you loved me, but you brutally killed my child. The revenge of killing my child is life-and-death. Do you still expect me to love you again?"
Fukang was so frightened by her husband's actions that she froze on the spot. After a long time, she finally regained her composure, and then hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Are you complaining about my father giving Tian the abortion medicine?" ? Prince Consort, you know, that’s not what I meant.”
"Don't say any more!" Before Fukang could finish, Xiehou interrupted her coldly, and then ruthlessly replied: "You are a princess, I can't do anything to you, but Fukang, I tell you, I, Xiehou He is definitely not the kind of man who can be manipulated by others. Now that Mrs. Tian is pregnant with my flesh and blood, if you dare to harm their mother and son again, I will definitely fight you."
This is a very serious statement.
Fukang looked at her husband in disbelief. She wanted to explain to him, but she couldn't say a word and fainted.
By the time the imperial doctor revived the patient, Xiehou had already left. So far, Xiehou has never returned to the Marquis Mansion.
Fukang's health got worse, almost to the point where she could not get out of bed, but even so, she still longed to see her husband.
Her imperial sister Princess Fuxi heard about this and came to visit her in the Marquis Mansion. Seeing that she tortured herself like this for a man, Fuxi became angry and advised him: "What is there about such a man that is worthy of your nostalgia? If he bullies you like this, why don't I go to the palace and tell my brother that he will be killed by an imperial edict."
Although Fukang and Fuxi are biological sisters, their temperaments are completely different. Fukang understands his sister's temperament and knows that she can do what she says. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Sister Huang, please don't do it." If this is the case, at least he is the father of my child. If so, who can I and my child count on in the future?"
Fu Xi was so angry that he had no choice but to reply: "You can't hope for anything now. You are still thinking about the future. You are a princess and have your own salary. Your children have half of the blood of our Zhao family. How can you have no future in the future?" , you are still young, if you find a suitable one in the future, you will marry again, if not, just like me, living by yourself is better than following this **** man and suffering."
"Sister, please don't scold him like this." Fukang defended her husband: "He is not entirely to blame for what happened between us husband and wife. My father gave death to the Natian family's child. He misunderstood that I gave my father such a gift. He misunderstood me, so he had a problem with me. After I made it clear to him, he naturally changed his mind."
