After sending Xie Daozhong away, the two finally relaxed, paced unhurriedly along the long verandah, looked at Xie Huai'an, who was gloomy between his eyebrows, and teased: "A momentary gaffe, you have suffered." ”

Xie Huai'an glanced at her, didn't answer the question, but asked, "Do you think that my father seems to be a little different tonight?"

Wanlan said indifferently: "Xu is unhappy with his uncle." ”

Xie Huai'an clenched his fist with his right hand, lightly hammered it a few times in the palm of his left hand, and said in a low voice: "Uncle may have persuaded his father to send Huaichang out to stay abroad." ”

Wanlan was taken aback, carefully recalled Xie Dao's words and deeds, and wondered, "Why Huaichang?"

Xie Huai'an laughed briefly, a little unwilling and a little helpless: "Do you listen to my father's words, do you mean to send me out?" Uncle's words are too chilling to the spine, I am afraid that my father will also be suspicious, so he will agree to send Huaichang out, if it is a certainty......

He stopped talking, and the two walked together one stone pillar palace lamp after another, relatively silent, each with their own thoughts. The thought that Wanlan had suppressed before was churning in her heart again, stronger and more difficult to suppress than before, she subconsciously raised her hand, Xie Huai'an turned her head sideways, and asked, "What?"

Wanlan shuddered, suddenly came to her senses, smiled covertly, and said casually: "Uncle once said that there are more electric lights in the Jingli Mansion, and with just one switch, all the lights can be lit up together, saving time and effort." ”

Xie Huai'an was a little stunned, and then laughed out loud: "Sister Lan, you are really ......" His gaze was fixed on Wanlan's face, and he couldn't help laughing: "Do you still want to hide from me? ”

Wanlan subconsciously touched her cheeks, felt a little feverish, and smiled embarrassedly: "I just thought about going abroad again." ”

Xie Huai'an didn't have a surprised expression at all, and had an expected expression on his face: "I knew that going abroad was such a big thing, and you must be the one who couldn't sit still in the family." ”

Wanlan covered her lips with a handkerchief and laughed softly, just about to say something, her left foot happened to step on a sharp pebble, and there was a piercing pain in the foot bones, she screamed briefly, grabbed Xie Huai'an's clothes, barely stabilized her body, and inhaled cool air for a while.

Xie Huai'an was taken aback by her, and subconsciously reached out to help her arm, and said in an eager tone: "What's the matter! Does your foot hurt again?"

Wanlan held his hand and moved it to the side with difficulty, and slowly sat down on the steps, a thin layer of cold sweat condensed on her forehead, she pinched her ankle with one hand, wiped it on her forehead with the other, and slowed down for a while before slowly exhaling: "It's not in the way." ”

Xie Huai'an frowned, and frequently looked at her left foot and pale complexion: "After so many years, why can't it get better?"

The pain was slowly subsiding, and the blood on Wanlan's face regained its color, she smiled slightly, and turned her head to look at him: "Compared with foot binding, I would rather have pain for so many years, and still be able to carry the sin of benefiting Ah Tian and Ah Xian without having to suffer from foot binding." ”

Xie Huai'an knew that she had endured the pain, put her mind at ease, and joked: "Yes, yes, thanks to you, the reputation of the three Tianzu ladies of the Xie family has spread all over Zhenjiang." ”

"You want to put such a big deal on me? I can't stand it," Wanlan smiled even more: "Who instigated me to put my feet on my feet every day without telling my mother when I was bound to my feet? If it wasn't for the original entanglement, I wouldn't have been in pain to my bones today." ”

Xie Huai'an laughed: "You just thank me, my own sister, if it weren't for me, how would you have the opportunity to run and jump today? Look at the concubine of the third master of the Zheng family, Xinna, who is bound to the point that it is difficult to move an inch, and every time he goes in and out, he is still proud of it, and I am also puzzled." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the corner of Wanlan's skirt again: "I have been wearing the plaster for so long, and I don't know how much I have drunk the poultice, why is this old problem still not cured? Dr. Morian is also true, and he sent the Buddha and said that he would send it to the west, and he was fine, leaving this half-treated patient and returning to China. ”

Wanlan waved her hand disapprenously: "He saved this foot for me, it's been so many years, think about it or be afraid, if my father didn't let go at that time, maybe I would have been hugged when I went in and out." ”

Xie Huai'an nodded, put his arm on her and helped her up: "The steps are too cold, I'll help you back to the room." ”

Wanlan raised her palm and pushed him away: "It's not that my foot is broken, where do I need to help him back? I'll just go back by myself, isn't your homework not finished yet?" Go and ask your uncle as soon as possible, I won't delay your time." ”
