Chapter 1709: The More Beautiful, The More Dangerous It Is
I walked up silently, all the way to the deck, and suddenly my eyes opened up, and the original dark fragrance of fat powder lingered more strongly around at this time. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: Π¨Π©Π©.(7)(9)XS.ΡΠΠ.
At a glance, I saw Pei Yuanxiu standing at the bow of the boat.
And beside him, there stood a 'woman' with a slender back, dressed in brocade, full of pearls, and the fragrance of the fat powder emanated from her, as if she heard our footsteps, and she slowly turned to look at us.
Han Ruoshi.
No wonder I waited below for a while, and the boat docked to the shore not only to avoid the meeting between me and Wen Fengxi, but also to pick up this lady.
Since that night, since I was taken out of Jinling Mansion and on this ship, I haven't touched the ground for so many days, and I haven't gone back to see what Jinling Mansion is like now, how many people died, and what it was like to be burned by that fire, but thinking about it, such a big thing happened, Pei Yuanxiu immediately started a war against Yangzhou, and everything was piled on this lady, she should be very hard and quite tired.
But looking at her appearance, in addition to being as thin as ever, her face is not too ugly.
Maybe it's because of the 'fine' makeup, she looks pretty good.
As soon as she saw us coming up from the staircase, Han Ruoshi's autumn eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't speak immediately, she just turned her head to look at Pei Yuanxiu, and Xie Feng had already walked past me and walked forward.
"Childe. β
"How?"
Wen Fengxi did not agree. β
"Oh. β
His tone was very calm, as if he was not surprised at all, and then slowly raised his head to look at me.
I stood at the top of the stairs and didn't go over immediately, but my eyes kept falling on Han Ruoshi, just like she had been looking at me.
I wanted to see something on her face, such as anger, hatred, disgust, and even murderous intent, but her face was clear and quiet with nothing, not only nothing, after Pei Yuanxiu and Xie Feng finished talking, she also smiled and said: "This matter is not taken for granted, when do you big men do things, when will you really listen to the words of 'women'? Miss Yan has worked hard in vain this time." β
As he spoke, he instructed a few 'waiters' and 'women' behind him: "Send Miss Yan back to rest." β
As soon as her words fell, the 'waiters' and 'women' came over and gently gestured to the cabin door on the side: "Miss Yan, please." β
I didn't say anything, and was about to turn around and leave with them, when Pei Yuanxiu suddenly said, "Wait a minute." β
When the 'waiters' and 'women' heard this, they all stopped.
I just took a stagnant step, and when I paused, I saw him come over in a few steps, until he walked in front of me, looked down at my hands that were 'crossed' together, and said, "What's wrong with your clothes?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Why are the sleeves torn?"
My heart pounded.
An expression of forbearance and pain immediately appeared on my face, and I turned my head to the side: "I accidentally 'broke' it." β
"How careless?"
At this time, Xie Feng stepped forward: "Son, it'sβit was Wen Fengxi who tore it up." β
"Wen Fengxi?"
Pei Yuanxiu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Why did he tear your sleeve?"
I tilted my head wider.
Xie Feng said: "At that time, he had already rejected Miss Yan's proposal, and the matter had already been discussed, and he was talking about something else. But he suddenly wanted to take Miss Yan away, so he grabbed Miss Yan's sleeve and 'forced' him to let go. It's just that I was careless, so I ripped off Miss Yan's sleeve. β
As soon as he said this, Pei Yuanxiu's brows tightened even tighter, but his voice lost its temperature, and even his eyes were condensed, and he said, "What are you talking about, let him do this?"
This time, Xie Feng was also dumbfounded.
I slowly turned my head to look at him, and said calmly: "I'll let him, if I can see Liu Qinghan one day, tell him everything I want to say for me." β
As soon as these words came out, the frost in his eyes melted all at once.
It was as if a flame was burning from within.
But all this, maybe it was all my delusion, because he stood in that place, he didn't even move, only his clothes were slightly fluttering by the river breeze, and someone behind him was holding an oil-paper umbrella above his head, and he didn't even get a little rain 'dew' on his body, and he looked like he was fluttering, as if everything would not be contaminated with him.
It's just that when he spoke, his voice trembled imperceptibly: "Liu Qinghan." β
I looked away again.
He was silent for a while, trying to say something, but he stopped talking, but his eyes fell on me, and the temperature was scorching. At this time, Han Ruoshi on the side said softly with a little smile: "Liu Qinghan?
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
This sentence was like a boulder being thrown heavily in the hearts of both of them, my breathing suddenly tightened, and Pei Yuanxiu's brows immediately furrowed.
Han Ruoshi didn't seem to see the expressions of the two of us, so she stepped forward and said softly to me: "People can't be resurrected after death, Miss Yan has been thinking about what a dead person does. β
Although her words were gentle, one by one, one by one, "Huangquan Road", in such a cold rainy day, as if a red-hot dagger was stabbing into my 'chest' little by little, I only felt a sharp pain coming, staggered back several steps one after another, and hit the fence on my back.
The 'waiters' and 'women' were so frightened that they hurried over to help me.
At this time, Pei Yuanxiu said in a deep voice: "Ruoshi, don't say it." β
Han Ruoshi turned her head to look at him, and then said softly: "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't mention Miss Yan's sadness for no reason." β
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at me: "Miss Yan, don't blame me." β
My face was already pale, I don't know if it was by what she said just now, or by the cold river wind, the whole person was trembling, Pei Yuanxiu looked at me, was silent for a while, took the umbrella from the hand of the 'attendant' behind me, and walked to me to support it above my head.
There was no temperature on his face at all, only when he opened his mouth, there was still a little breath with his body temperature, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't get drenched in the rain outside, let's go in first." β
I bit my lower lip and didn't speak, he reached over to grab my hand.
With no sleeves and no wrists exposed, the towering bones and frozen pale skin made me look more and more shapely, and he held my hand and sighed softly, as if he didn't know what to do.
Just as he was about to take me to turn around and leave, I stopped again, turned my head to look at Han Ruoshi, whose face was no longer very good, but still held on to her calm and smiling face, and asked, "Madam, how is the second young lady?"
With this question, the expression on Han Ruoshi's face was a little tense.
Pei Yuanxiu's hand also trembled slightly.
I don't know how long it has been since Han Ruoshi got on the boat, but it seems that Pei Yuanxiu didn't ask about Han Zitong, so this time, both of them were stunned.
I continued: "I heard that on the night of the wedding, there was a sudden fire in the inner courtyard?"
She immediately said: "That's right, there was a fire." β
"Where did the fire come from?"
"Where does the fire come from?" she snorted coldly with her nose, looking at me as if she was a little reproachful: "It's not because Miss Yan boasted to Sister Jia'yu' that she said how brilliant and gorgeous the fireworks in Yangzhou City were back then, she must also have a fireworks in Jinling Mansion." β
ββ¦β¦ So, there was a fire. β
"How else could it be?"
She should have prepared a set of rhetoric, and there was no panic at this time, only the blame and resentment of course, I listened, in addition to feeling that the limbs and bodies were getting colder and colder, but there didn't seem to be too much frustration and uneasiness, and after being silent for a while, she said softly: "I didn't expect that a firework actually caused so much harm." β
ββ¦β¦β
"There are some things, the more beautiful they look on the surface, the more dangerous they can be. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Madame, you say, don't you?"
She frowned at me slightly, but didn't answer.
Just when the two of us were a little silent, and even stalemate, Pei Yuanxiu said: "Ruoshi, Zitong, what happened to her?"
Han Ruoshi originally lowered her head, but at this time she glanced up at him, and the cold glint in her eyes flashed.
But she immediately smiled and said, "She's fine." β
My heart jumped: "Oh?"
She continued: "It's just that maybe she was too frightened that night, and she had been haunting the sickbed before, and she has been asleep since that night, and she hasn't woken up to this day. β
"What?"
I was shocked again, I had heard that she had been injured and in a coma, but I didn't expect that more than a month had passed, and she hadn't woken up yet.
Pei Yuanxiu's brows also frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't I also let the doctor treat her?"
"Yes, the doctor comes to see her almost every two days and prescribes 'medicine', and I personally feed her to drink. Butβ" she said, her eyes reddened, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I don't know if this girl has offended any fairy, or if she is not lucky enough, so she has been asleep, I am afraid that she will not be able to sleep in this life!"
Han Zitong has been in a coma and can't wake up?
That fire shouldn't have really hurt her, after all, I had 'handed over' everything to her from the beginning, why did she still fall to this point?
Could it be that β
I raised my eyes and looked at Han Ruoshi: "Madam, are you taking care of Miss Zitong these days?"
She said: "Zitong is my sister, she was injured and unconscious, of course, I, as an older sister, took care of her." β
As soon as her words fell, the girl Xiaolian behind her continued: "Our lady still has to take care of so many people and things in the house, and she has been taking care of the second miss every day, and now the second miss is asleep, but our lady is about to fall ill!"
ββ¦β¦β
This time, I didn't speak.
