[Tess of the D'Urbervilles] Concubine Wan Gui counterattacks the doormat

It was Monday morning that the Tabotages Dairy found Claire.Of course, this is also due to the horse named Tanta that Claire rode out. If it hadn’t returned to the dairy farm alone and was discovered by the workers, I believe Claire was not rescued so quickly.

Claire has been suffering from a high fever since he was rescued from the valley by his fellow workers. He seems to be in pain, and even in a coma, he has been crying continuously and calling out something repeatedly.

Izz Huett, the girl who has been secretly in love with Claire, sneaked into Claire's small attic in the evening, sat down by Claire's bed, and saw the painful appearance of the charming husband in her eyes, even though the doctor had come to help him She was injected with anti-fever drugs, but she still couldn't help feeling distressed.

She used her handkerchief to wipe away his constant sweat, but the sweat on his body was so much that his thin shirt was already wet.Izz thought about it shyly, and finally unbuttoned him tremblingly, slowly revealing his fair chest.

Just as Izz was about to wipe his sweat off his body with his hands, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs, getting closer.

Izz was so frightened that his heart beat faster and he broke out in a cold sweat.She looked around and saw a short bookshelf placed by Claire in the corner, and quickly tiptoed over to hide.

The door was gently pushed open with a "squeak," and Izz saw Letty Prield, who was in the dormitory, come in softly, and sat on the edge of Claire's bed with her back.

Claire's open chest suddenly hit her eyes, and her face couldn't help but instantly flushed red.

Letty wanted to gather Claire's clothes, but for some reason, her hand caressed his smooth chest uncontrollably, stained with sweat that was unique to him.

Izz watched Letty put Mr. Claire's sweaty finger to his mouth and licked it lightly, feeling anxious and angry.

She knew that Letty also loved the young but knowledgeable Mr. Claire!More than once she had seen the shadow of Mr Clare's face on the wall behind him in the evening as he stood by the bucket of milk as he skimmed it, and it was always that time when Letty went to fetch water. Always put down the bucket, put the mouth on the wall, and kiss that shadow's mouth!Poor Mr. Clare probably still doesn't know that he is being treated so frivolously by others.

Izz decided that if Letty did something outrageous to Mr. Claire who is now unconscious, she would come out to stop Letty's crazy behavior no matter whether her intentions would be exposed or not!

Letty, who didn't know it, stretched out his hand to Claire's face. Before touching it, Claire, who was still in a coma, started screaming again. Letty paused, and couldn't help but put her ear to his mouth while listening.

He was calling someone by name, in a voice of indescribable pain and despair, "...Tess...Tess...Tess..."

Letty looked at the gentleman she secretly admired with complicated expressions. Finally, she couldn't bear his regretful call and decided to stand up and go downstairs. The wrist was grabbed by Claire suddenly, she looked up at him, and saw that his eyes were still closed, tears were falling from the corners of his eyes, and his long eyelashes were trembling, he whispered in a begging tone: "...don't go... …I love you……"

Letty's tears flowed out all at once, and she didn't care whether to wake Claire, she shook off his hand, covered her face and ran out the door.

Only then did Izz stand up, looked at the small wooden door that was half open, and then at Mr. Claire who was still lying on the bed crying, his heart also became bitter.

...It turns out that Mr. Claire already has someone he likes...

*****

After going to the church to get married some time ago, the empress's habit of staying at home has been broken.She originally thought that she would have to sit in the room for at least a month after giving birth, but she was surprised to find that Tess's body seemed to be very strong, and she had almost recovered in less than half a month, so she ordered Alec, the stupid father who has been doing nothing but recently seems to be fascinated by rolling over to her like a baby, looked at the sleeping little guy carefully, and then called Lisa to take a walk in the garden with her.

Along the way, Lisa chattered non-stop.

"...I think Hardy is very lazy, so he named some of our protagonists who have important roles, and the other supporting roles are even named casually, such as Panpan Susu, and the youngest one who has never had a sense of existence Brother, I don’t even have a name! It’s not that I’m biased, I think it’s really a problem with the setting of the article, or why do I keep forgetting that I have a younger brother who is less than two years old from time to time?…”

The empress has been listening silently without expressing her opinion. Just when Lisa thought that her words might be annoying, the empress suddenly spoke and looked down at her with a half-smile, "Then how do you plan to solve it?"

Lisa thought for a while, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Your Majesty, weren't you studying "The Encyclopedia of Names" a while ago? How about we think of a name for them?"

Empress has no interest in focusing on irrelevant people. Lisa was reluctantly included in the category of "one of her own" because she won her favor. As for other people, she can't control so much. She can only guarantee They followed her to live a life of prosperity and wealth.

So he lazily covered his mouth and yawned, and answered, "Think about it yourself."

Lisa couldn't tell that the empress was lacking in interest. Anyway, in her impression, the empress should be so glamorous and cold. It's scary when she is really enthusiastic.

She thought for a while and said, "Panpan's nickname starts with P, or is it called Prada?" When she said this, she immediately became interested, "Mother, do you know Prada? It's a very famous one from our side." Luxury brands... It’s probably equivalent to your imperial merchant’s special offer. Only the rich can afford it. Then there was a movie, oh, it’s equivalent to your opera, about a man wearing Prada shoes A woman's story, that's how I got to know Prada from that movie..."

The empress came to the afternoon tea table set up by the maid and sat down under the service of the maid. Lisa also pulled out the chair and sat down by herself, still talking continuously.

After pouring the first cup of tea, the empress signaled the maid standing beside her to leave.So, this afternoon tea was left to the two sisters to taste slowly.

"...As for Susu, you can be called Sophie..."Sophie's World" says...the unnamed little brother can be called Alexander. Think about it, all the men in our family start with A, Auston , Abraham, Alec can barely count, how can our little brother be an exception? Do you think..."

The empress really admired Lisa's ability to talk for hours without panting, but she didn't find it annoying. Instead, she got a lot of interest because of the new terms and things that often appeared in Lisa's words. Quickly accepted for Lisa's sake.At the same time, the empress still has a secret bad idea in her heart. After all, she also came to a strange environment. There is a person in front of you who lived in a more comfortable and advanced age, but lived a more aggrieved life than you. With such a vicious comparison, the empress suddenly felt that she was very lucky.

Lisa didn't know the bad taste of the empress, because her mouth was dry, she paused in the middle, drank the black tea in the delicate teacup in front of her in one gulp, quenched her thirst, and started talking again happily.

For the first time, the empress took the initiative to hold the ear of the teapot and add tea to Lisa's empty quilt.

"Oh, thank you, thank you..." Lisa interrupted her thoughts, picked up the teacup with both hands, thanked her flatteredly, and then drank another cup of tea in a daze, but at this time she no longer remembered the place she said , had to say: "What do you think of these three names?"

The empress felt that it didn't matter whether it was good or bad, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip, "They just agree."

Lisa smiled mischievously, rubbed her index finger back and forth on the rim of the teacup unconsciously, and suddenly felt that there was no topic to talk about.

Suddenly, everything quieted down.Lisa found the silence a little awkward.

Finally, the empress put down the teacup, the bottom of the cup touched the coaster and made a slight "ding" sound, the empress raised her eyes, and suddenly reached out to caress Lisa's face.

Lisa wanted to hide, but her body froze uncontrollably. She could only let the empress's slender and cold fingers lift her chin.

"Lisa, you are afraid of me," the empress asked with a soft smile, "but why, eh?"

Lisa couldn't help trembling, and wanted to lower her head, but her chin was always lifted by the empress, making her have to look up at her.

"Look at me, Lisa," she said softly, "am I not good enough for you?"

Lisa was really frightened by the sudden blackening of the empress, she opened her lips repeatedly, and it took a long time to find her own voice, "No, it's not...you are very good to me, really..."

Seeing her frightened look, the empress suddenly felt a little bored.She has been lonely for too long, and it is absurd to want to find a confidant for herself who can talk, not Lisa, who dare not approach her arbitrarily in the palace like before.For a moment, she lost interest in asking questions and withdrew her hand.

The moment she let go of Lisa, the uneasiness and fear that Lisa had been concealing all along broke out suddenly at that moment, and she burst into tears out of control.

"How dare I not be afraid of you... woo woo... I'm unfamiliar with the place here, I'm afraid of starvation, I'm afraid of doing hard work... woo woo... everything I have now is because of you... and your temperament is so... Unpredictable... woo woo woo... I, I'm afraid that once you're unhappy, I'll have nothing... Do you think I can't be afraid... You're still threatening me... woo woo..."

When the empress heard this, she found it both funny and exasperating. It really is a child's heart, what are these words!But she was touched by her straightforwardness again, and for the first time comforted her in a soft voice: "Okay, okay, as long as you don't betray me, you won't starve and do hard work..."

It's okay for the empress not to comfort her, but when she said this, Lisa paused and cried even louder.

The empress felt that there was nothing to do. She, who had never comforted a soft girl, was a little annoyed by the crying, and accidentally revealed her true colors again. She was full of coercion, "I told you not to cry!"

Lisa, who still felt extremely wronged, was frightened and stopped crying instantly. Because it was too sudden, she hiccupped one after another, and couldn't stop even if she wanted to.

The empress felt a little guilty, so she stood up and bent over to pat her on the back, so that she could feel better.

Lisa became even more frightened, and the hiccups couldn't stop.

Just when Lisa felt that the time passed was quite long and difficult, a sudden voice saved her:

"Honey, our Oston woke up and was anxious to find his mother." Lisa saw the little guy who Alec was holding out his arms to his mother with his eyes wide open, and immediately Alec, who had always been obnoxious, looked less obnoxious now.

When the empress saw her son, she put aside any thoughts of sisterly love and immediately stepped forward to take the child from Alec's arms.

The little guy said "hmmmmmmm" to his mother energetically, which made the empress chuckle, "What are you talking about, my little baby?"

The glib Alec immediately leaned into the mother's ear and whispered the translation for his son, "Oston said, 'Dear mother, don't leave Mr. d'Urberville and Mr. d'Urberville in the room anymore, As long as they don't see you, both gentlemen will cry." After finishing speaking, he kissed Auston's face, "Am I right? Auston." But he never thought that, because of his stupid The stubble grew, and Auston, who had inherited his fine tradition of being critical, remembered the danger. Before he got close, he stretched out his small hand and slapped him loudly on the face with a loud "snap!"

The empress praised: "Well done, Auston." After she finished speaking, she couldn't help kissing Auston's face again and again, Auston also grinned happily with his toothless little mouth.

Alec was not angry either, he quickly lowered his head and grabbed the lips of the empress, and let go before she wanted to attack, but he stared at her tightly, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips lewdly .

"Auston's mistakes should not be punished by his mother?" He explained cheekily.

Since Alec's shamelessness has become commonplace, the empress was not angry, but stretched out her hand and twisted Alec's strong arm, and Alec immediately cooperated and pretended to be in pain.

"Oh! It hurts! My dear, don't... don't hurt your delicate fingers, I will feel bad."

Seeing Alec trying to be stupid, the empress finally couldn't help laughing. The bright smile made Alec feel like a flower in full bloom.

He was glad he could please her.

"Auston can't be out in the sun too long, let's go back, dear," suggested Alec.

The empress lowered her head, and immediately met Auston's clear blue eyes, and said softly, "Auston, my little baby, we are going back."

Alec immediately hugged his little wife and walked to the villa. Before leaving, he glanced back at his sister-in-law who was still covering her mouth and hiccupping.

... What are you looking at me for?The aggrieved Lisa was still hiccupping, feeling inexplicable.
