Ghost Wife (12)

Ghost Wife (12)

"It's good that Mr. Meng wants to restore his family, but the Meng family has... I'm afraid it won't be easy." Dong Jinling knew very well that Meng Zixuan was too naive. It is not easy for a family that has been in decline to stand up again. In addition to financial resources, Capital also requires interpersonal relationships. If Meng Zixuan wasn't living in his own home now, he would be a beggar who couldn't even get enough to eat. How would he have the ability to return home? Dong Jinling smiled contemptuously in her heart...

Meng Zixuan knew that his current strength was weak, so it was no wonder that others did not believe him. It was natural to treat it as a joke. He smiled and replied: "Even so, if you don't try, how can you know whether it will succeed or not."

"Mr. Meng, don't worry too much. Jin Ling also hopes that Mr. Meng's wishes will come true." Dong Jinling originally wanted to ask Meng Zixuan for the house, but now that Meng Zixuan said it, there was no hope. He thought that he needed to think about something else. A way.

After the two chatted for a few words, Dong Jinling left. The next day, Dong Yunying came to see Meng Zixuan again, and Dong Jinling naturally followed. The three of them were happy playing chess and chatting about poetry together. Unconsciously, a month passed, and then As the days of getting along grew longer, Dong Yunying and Meng Zixuan got to know each other better and better. Sometimes Dong Jinling seemed like a superfluous person. No matter talking or doing other things, Dong Yunying and Meng Zixuan seemed to have a better understanding of each other than Dong Jinling. This made Dong Jinling very unhappy. The depressed energy will inevitably be vented when you return to your room. The maid Ping'er saw Dong Jinling throw his favorite inkstone to the ground. Knowing that Dong Jinling was in a bad mood, she picked up the inkstone and asked cautiously: "Why did the young lady lose such a big temper?"

"It's not that Meng Zixuan!" Dong Jinling slapped the table, his eyes rounded angrily.

Ping'er has not been with Dong Jinling in the past few days, because Dong Jinling said that Dong Yunying is with her and she does not need to be with her, so she doesn't know what happened again. I asked: "But Mr. Meng doesn't know how to praise, and he refuses to give up that house." out?"

"..." This question stopped Dong Jinling. He didn't mention the house at all in the past few days, so why was he angry? Thinking back for a while, Dong Jinling was filled with anger when he remembered how close Meng Zixuan and Dong Yunying were. "I want you girl to ask more questions!"

"Ping'er deserves to die." Ping'er lowered his head, not daring to say anything more for fear of making a mistake.

Dong Jinling was upset, and she didn’t know when she started to mind Dong Yunying’s intervention. Thinking about it carefully, Meng Zixuan really changed a lot after Dong Yunying came. Meng Zixuan, who seemed not to care about anything in the past, actually wanted to do something for her. Dong Yunying recited poems and painted pictures for Dong Yunying, but Meng Zixuan had never done these things for himself. The more Dong Jinling thought about it, the more unhappy he became and threw vases and jades all over the floor. Ping'er trembled and looked at Dong Jinling throwing it away, not daring to let out any anger. After Dong Jinling lost his temper, he went to pick up the pieces on the ground. Dong Jinling looked at Ping'er packing things away angrily, and suddenly there was a idea.

"Bottle, don't pick it up."

"But... Miss..." Ping'er knew that Dong Jinling never liked a messy room and she used to cherish these things. If she didn't clean it up as soon as possible, she was afraid that Dong Jinling would be even more unhappy and she would be the one in trouble.

Dong Jinling smiled and looked at Ping'er: "Just ask the other servants to do these things. You go and buy something for me."

"Yes, miss." Ping'er, as a maid, had no reason not to listen to what the miss said, but when she heard Dong Jinling asked her to buy arsenic, she was still shocked. She shouldn't ask more questions. According to Dong Jinling, Yes, after buying back the arsenic Dong Jinling needed, Ping'er couldn't help but remind her in a low voice: "Miss, what if we poison Mr. Meng to death and we still can't get the land deed?"

"When did I say that I would poison Mr. Meng to death?" Dong Jinling laughed out loud, with a sinister plan in mind. This time, she would not harm others. The most important person to harm was herself. She thought that Meng Zixuan was not a ruthless person, and she Be kind to him, and if something happens to her, Meng Zixuan will definitely not ignore it. Dong Jinling is going to poison herself, and she will try to see if Meng Zixuan is a stone-hearted person.

In the evening, several doctors came in and out of Dong Jinling's room one after another. Because Dong Jinling was poisoned, Meng Zixuan was greatly surprised when he learned the news. Ping'er looked at Meng Zixuan anxiously, almost crying.

"Mr. Meng, go and see the young lady quickly. The young lady has been poisoned and is about to die."

"This..." Meng Zixuan was at a loss. He didn't know what Dong Jinling's poisoning had to do with him. But if he didn't go, it would be bad if the people in the Dong Mansion suspected that he had poisoned himself. After thinking about it, Meng Zixuan followed the bottle Er came to Dong Jinling's room. Dong Jinling was lying on the bed with a bloodless face. Dong Yunying sat by the bed and kept crying. Seeing Dong Yunying so sad, Meng Zixuan's heart was also touched. He comforted: "Miss Yunying, don't be too sad. Miss Jinling is a lucky person." , it will be fine."

"Mr. Meng..." Dong Yunying felt sad when she saw Dong Jinling's appearance, and replied sadly: "I don't know why my sister was poisoned. It happens that my uncle is not at home. I don't know what to do." As he said, Dong Yunying heard Dong Jinling's cough, so she looked at Dong Jinling and asked excitedly: "Sister Jinling, are you feeling better?"

"Sister Yunying..." Dong Jinling stretched out her hand and gently held Dong Yunying's hand. "I'm fine. You took care of me for half the night. Go and rest."

"I don't... I'll just take care of Sister Jin Ling here." Dong Yunying shook his head and refused to agree.

Meng Zixuan felt a little distressed when he saw Dong Yunying's haggard look, and advised: "Miss Yunying, you should go and have a rest. If you are also exhausted, what will Miss Jinling do then?"

"But..." Dong Yunying hesitated.

Dong Jinling glanced at Meng Zixuan and replied weakly: "It's enough to have Mr. Meng here."

"Yes, Second Young Lady, you should listen to the young lady and go back to rest. Leave this place to Mr. Meng." Everything Ping'er said was based on Dong Jinling's words.

What he said, plus Ping'er is already smart, so his words are naturally a little measured.

Meng Zixuan was stunned after hearing this. He did not expect that Dong Jinling would offer to take care of him. He had never taken care of anyone before. Now, Meng Zixuan was riding a tiger. Who asked him to ask Dong Yunying to rest? Dong Yunying looked at Meng Zixuan. Seeing Dong Yunying's pitiful appearance, Meng Zixuan couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "Miss Yunying, I am here, you can go back to your room and rest."

"...Then...Thank you, Mr. Meng." Dong Yunying wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, glanced at Meng Zixuan gratefully, and turned to leave. At this time, no one noticed the joy of success on Dong Jinling's face. When Dong Yunying After leaving, Dong Jinling struggled to get up to drink water. There was no way. Dong Jinling was weak, so Meng Zixuan had to lift Dong Jinling up from the back and let Dong Jinling lean on his arms. Ping'er handed the water to Meng Zixuan's hand. , and went out consciously. When Meng Zixuan finished feeding Dong Jinling, he noticed that the bottle had disappeared. He wanted to put Dong Jinling down and then put the water cup in, but Dong Jinling shook his head gently: "Mr. Meng... just let me lean on you for a while."

"...Hmm." Meng Zixuan was extremely reluctant, but he had no choice but to put the water cup on the stool next to him. He didn't know where to put his hands. It happened that at this moment, Dong Jinling was unstable and his body was crooked. After a while, Meng Zixuan could only hold Dong Jinling in his arms. He didn't know that it was the warmth in his arms that made Dong Jinling understand her own heart more clearly. Dong Jinling had not had a mother since she was a child, and it had been a long, long time since she had leaned on someone else's body like this. In the eyes of outsiders, she was a rich lady, extremely rich, and naturally lived a happy life, but she always felt that she was still missing something. At this time, she realized that what she lacked was the love of a man, and this man was Meng Zixuan.

"Mr. Meng...do you know? Actually, Jin Ling..."

"Miss Jinling, you are still very weak now. Don't talk and get more rest." On the one hand, Meng Zixuan was thinking about Dong Jinling's health, but on the other hand, he didn't want to hear what Dong Jinling had to say. He also wanted to leave early. , went to see if Dong Yunying was sleeping. He knew that Dong Yunying was very sad, so he wanted to stay by her side when Dong Yunying was sad.

Dong Jinling raised her head and looked at Meng Zixuan. Perhaps it was because of her emotions that she felt that she had never noticed that Meng Zixuan was so charming in the past. He was exactly the person she liked. After smiling slightly, Dong Jinling rested her head on Meng Zixuan's chest. Meng Zixuan didn't squint his eyes until it was almost dawn, and Dong Jinling fell asleep. Meng Zixuan put the sleeping Dong Jinling on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and went out. The bottle standing outside the door was already there. Too tired to stand still, Ping'er saw Meng Zixuan coming out and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Meng, how is she doing?"

"Miss Jinling just fell asleep. Don't disturb her and let her rest for a while." After saying that, Meng Zixuan left without looking back.

Ping'er took a look inside and saw that Dong Jinling was asleep, so she secretly laughed...

Shortly after Meng Zixuan left, Dong Yunying came to Dong Jinling's room with the cooked porridge. After hearing from Ping'er that Meng Zixuan had just left, she put down the porridge without waking up Dong Jinling, and went to Meng Zixuan's room, but saw that the door was closed. Locking the door, Dong Yunying knew that Meng Zixuan was not asleep yet, so she opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Meng."

"Miss Yunying." Meng Zixuan was just about to wash his face with cold water, but turned around and saw Dong Yunying, so he turned around and said nervously: "You just slept for a while, why did you get up?"

"I'm not in the way, but I'm in trouble for Mr. Meng." Dong Yunying felt a little sorry. In order to let herself rest, Meng Zixuan stayed up all night.

Meng Zixuan saw the porridge in Dong Yunying's hand and asked in a low voice: "This is..."

"Mr. Meng has been tired all night. I think Mr. Meng is also hungry, so I cooked some porridge for you and Sister Jinling. Sister Jinling just fell asleep, so I didn't wake her up." Dong Yunying put down the porridge and smiled. Said: "Master Meng, if you don't think Yunying is not good at her craftsmanship, just drink this bowl of porridge before going to bed."
