It was not dark at the ridge of the field, and Xue Zhengdong walked steadily step by step.
Wen Luyao lay on his back, put her face next to his ear, and absorbed the warmth from the base of his ear.
"...I received a telegram from England the day before yesterday.
My aunt passed away, and her only daughter Luo Nuan had to follow the steward back to China.
She has no other relatives and hopes that I can take care of Luo Nuan until she reaches adulthood."
Xue Zhengdong said.
As he spoke, he frowned.
"cousin?"
Wen Luyao immediately became wary, "How old is she?"
"Thirteen or fourteen years old."
Xue Zhengdong said.
Wen Luyao felt a little suspicious: "You are not a nosy character.
Do you have a good relationship with your aunt?"
Xue Zhengdong: "My aunt always took care of me when I was a child. My mother was in poor health."
His mother was originally the daughter of a small landowner. She also studied and knew some etiquette, justice and shame.
Being attracted by Feng Shuai, she couldn't refuse, she just said that she didn't want to enter the big house.
So she was raised outside.
My mother knew that she was disgraceful. Even though the world was different, she did not have an enlightened mind.
She doesn't go out to socialize or hang out with relatives and friends, for fear that people will laugh at her behind her back.
Her only sister felt sorry for her elder sister. When Feng Shuai was away, she came to live with her elder sister.
Later, Xue Zhengdong's mother was in poor health and could not take care of her children. She did not trust the servants, so she asked her sister to take care of Xue Zhengdong.
My aunt is very mysophobic, and Xue Zhengdong learned all these things from her.
His mother passed away and his aunt was getting married. Feng Shuai wanted to take him to live in a big house, but he didn't agree.
He lived with his uncle and aunt for two years.
His uncle was a very good-tempered man and treated him as his own son, father and brother.
Feng Shuai wanted to support his lover's sister-in-law, so he took his uncle to the army.
In fact, my uncle didn't like power very much. He was not willing to work in the army, but because he came from a small family, he was instinctively afraid of Feng Shuai and did not dare to disobey him.
When my aunt was pregnant with the child, my uncle fell off his horse during a march and hit his head on a big rock. He fell unconscious and died two months later.
From then on, Xue Zhengdong was full of hatred for Feng Shuai.
How many of his relatives would he have to kill before he would be willing to do that, a man who was proud of his power?
Xue Zhengdong therefore returned to the Feng family.
He doesn't want his life to be decided by others.
The mother couldn't do it, so she died; the uncle couldn't do it, and he died.
The aunt was heartbroken and later gave birth to Luo Nuan.
Their mother and daughter had no one to rely on. The aunt neither wanted to return to her parents' home nor rely on her husband's family.
She didn't want to leave Xue Zhengdong, so she asked Feng Shuai to take her into the house to live.
Feng Shuai treated her like a sister.
Xue Zhengdong always thought that Feng Shuai would also bully his aunt.
But in fact, he was overly concerned. Feng Shuai had never had any evil thoughts towards his lover's sister.
Maybe, he really liked Xue Zhengdong's mother.
But so what?
His mother never loved him, she just felt suffocated and died young.
Aunt and Luo Nuan have lived with Xue Zhengdong for several years, just like his biological mother.
Later, Xue Zhengdong went to study abroad, and his aunt went with him.
My aunt met a Chinese man abroad who was doing business in London and was a widower.
The aunt decided to take Luo Nuan to remarry, and half a year before Xue Zhengdong returned to China, mother and daughter moved to London.
The year before last, my aunt's new husband passed away again, this time in a car accident.
My aunt is in a bad mood.
The parents-in-law of the Chinese family still have the same old thoughts and talk about Aunt Kefu.
Xue Zhengdong wants his aunt to return to China.
The aunt refused, saying she wanted Luo Nuan to stay in England to study.
She has a lot of savings, part of which was given by Feng Shuai when she had raised Xue Zhengdong for many years and went abroad with Xue Zhengdong, and part of which was the inheritance left to her by her husband.
But, after all, she has a soft and affectionate personality, and she has a deep relationship with her second wife.
I had been ill for the past two years. I contracted tuberculosis some time ago and passed away.
The aunt entrusted her little cousin to him.
When Xue Zhengdong received the telegram, he learned that his aunt had passed away two months ago, and that Luo Nuan had set off a month ago and was expected to arrive in Shanghai soon.
