Chapter 194: A piece of jade pendant, less lettering
"No need to pretend to be a ghost!! Who the hell are you?! Ye Yanran's voice was a little heavier. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You're so brave that you're not afraid of me." The woman outside the window finally fell silently.
Ye Yanran hooked her lips and snorted coldly, "From the moment I entered this courtyard, I knew that there were people living there, so why be afraid?" β
The woman outside the window stretched out her hand and slowly brushed away the long hair that was scattered on her face, and through the light moonlight outside, Ye Yanran couldn't see it so clearly.
"Come downstairs with me!" As she spoke, the woman drifted away from the window like a ghost.
Ye Yanran came back to her senses, looked at the rose that fell to the ground, stepped forward, helped the bed, and then went downstairs.
γγγγγ
On the first floor, two kerosene lamps were lit, and although it was dim, it was still a lot brighter.
Ye Yanran finally saw the woman's face clearly, she was quite delicate, and there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
"Who are you Huang Fuchen?" The woman looked Ye Yanran up and down, "Could it be the newly married aunt's wife?" β
Ye Yanran nodded, "You guessed it, I'm his eighth aunt." β
"Aunt Eight?" The woman had a funny look, "I didn't expect Huang Fuchen to be quite restrained, and it took three years to marry the eighth aunt, I thought it would be the eleventh aunt." β
Ye Yanran was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and looked at the woman again, "What about you?" How many are you? β
The woman spread her hands very indifferently, "I'm the fifth." β
"Fifth aunt!" Ye Yanran was surprised, "You are the fifth aunt!" β
"Exactly!" The woman was dressed in a white gown, playing with the hair on her shoulders, "I am from Yucheng, my name is Wen Qiqi, I married Huang Fuchen as the fifth aunt three years ago, I think many people have forgotten, Huang Fuchen should also forget me." β
As the words fell, Wen Qiqi's eyes crossed with a sense of loss.
"Yucheng people? The city that was captured by the town army three years ago? Ye Yanran was stunned all of a sudden, "How can that be?" β
Wen Qiqi raised a bitter smile, "I've thought about it too, how can that be?" Just because I sang a lotus-picking song on the bird stage, I was arrested by him and became his fifth aunt, and now I think about it is really ridiculous, I only blame myself for not singing that song. β
"Heh~~ It's a lotus again!" Ye Yanran shook her head, and a chill appeared in her heart.
Wen Qiqi played with the hair on his shoulder, approached Ye Yanran, and looked at Ye Yanran's beautiful face, "Yes, you are very beautiful, you look good, it seems that I haven't seen you for a few years, Huang Fuchen's vision is much better, at least I don't like those vulgar fans." β
Ye Yanran looked at Wen Qiqi, a little bitter, "So what?" I'm not locked up here! β
Wen Qiqi blinked, "By the way, why are you locked up?" β
Ye Yanran's eyes sank, hesitated for a moment, and her voice lowered a few points, "I shot him with a gun." β
Wen Qiqi's eyes widened suddenly, and he grabbed Ye Yanran's arms at once, "Really? Did you really shoot Huang Fuchen? β
"Hmm... Ye Yanran nodded, she couldn't understand this woman's eyes.
The corners of Wen Qiqi's lips hooked up an excited smile, and he asked anxiously, "Is Huang Fuchen dead?" β
Hearing this, Ye Yanran frowned slightly, and shook her head slowly, "I won't die." I didn't hit the nail on the head. β
"Why don't you open the shot?! How good it is to kill with one shot! Aren't all your shots fired in vain! Wen Qiqi dropped his palm, obviously displeased.
Ye Yanran looked at the woman in front of her in more and more surprise, "You... You seem to hate him? β
"Can you not hate?" Wen Qiqi was excited, staring at Ye Yanran's eyes, "I had a childhood sweetheart fiancΓ© back then, Huang Fuchen snatched me away without asking a word, at first I resisted, he coaxed me to give him a child every day, and sent someone to give me a lot of things." β
Ye Yanran listened, and her heart tightened, "What about later?" β
Wen Qiqi's eyes turned red, "After a few months, I accepted him, too... It's also a little bit. I like him, thinking that women are not just like this for a lifetime, and the wood is already in the boat, so I will serve him well and give him a child! β
"And what about later?" Ye Yanran's heart became more and more anxious, because she had also moved such thoughts.
Wen Qiqi's eyes were red, and his arms grabbed Ye Yanran's shoulders again, "Then I was happy, first, I wanted to surprise him, and second, I was afraid that if I said it, I would attract the jealousy of those women in the backyard, so I didn't say it, which Cheng thought... β
"What's wrong?" Ye Yanran was also anxious.
"Where did I think, I heard that he went to some art studio to be hired, and he wanted to marry another cousin to be the sixth aunt! How do you say I swallowed this breath! Wen Qiqi was excited, and tears slipped down.
βγγγβ Ye Yanran was silent, looking at Wen Qiqi's tears, which was a little pitiful.
Wen Qiqi continued, "You said that Huang Fuchen was ruthless to me, why should I be righteous to him, I got the slippery pill and got rid of the child myself... β
"This..." Ye Yanran looked at the woman in front of her in shock, with an indescribable emotion in her heart, she dared to do it too much.
Wen Qiqi wiped away a handful of tears, "Later, everyone knew about it, and I was imprisoned here, almost three years... β
Ye Yanran was silent.
Time stood still in this moment.
After a long silence, Ye Yanran's head was in chaos.
Wen Qiqi pressed his palm on the back of Ye Yanran's hand, "What about you?" Are you in love with him? β
Ye Yanran raised her eyes, met Wen Qiqi's eyes, and slowly shook her head, "No. β
"Hehe~~" Wen Qiqi smiled a little relieved, "It's so good~~!" It's good that you don't fall in love, you fall in love, it's you who loses your heart, it's you who gets hurt, Huang Fuchen's world is only him, he is good to you, he just wants you to be obedient, and wants you to give him a few more sons. β
Ye Yanran was silent, such conjectures had before, but when she heard what Wen Qiqi said, her heart sank a little bit, and she was a little sad, could it be that Huang Fuchen was really just hypocritical to himself from beginning to end?
γγγγγ
The next day, it was dawn.
In the dining room of Beiyuan, there is a pot of gruel, which is light and light.
Ye Yanran drank the gruel, a little difficult to swallow.
"Don't you find it hard to drink? I've been drinking it for three years, and there's nothing here except white porridge, and it's still a half-year ration. Wen Qiqi said lightly.
Rose, who was on the side, heard this, and suddenly became anxious, "Wouldn't it? The fifth aunt is too... β
"Don't call me Aunt Five! Call me Wen Qiqi, or Miss Wen. Wen Qiqi interrupted Rose's words.
When Rose heard this, she nodded again and again, "Miss Wen, that Mrs. Zhang said that she would deliver rations once a month." β
"She's bluffing you! She did the same trick on me. Wen Qiqi fell back very calmly.
"Then how are we going to live here, the grain in the rice jar, three people eat for half a year, this is obviously going to starve us to the bones!" Rose grumbled, her face worried.
Ye Yanran's eyes fell faintly to the outside of the courtyard, and she said in a deep voice, "Qiqi, can't you get out here?" β
Wen Qiqi dropped the bowl in his hand, he had already seen the bottom, and looked at Ye Yanran, "This North Garden is surrounded by high walls, three sides are inside the Shuai Mansion, and one side is outside the street, but it is facing the back door of the Overseer's Mansion, where there are heavy guards, how to get out?" β
When Ye Yanran heard this, her eyes dimmed.
"That's right, even if I get out, I don't necessarily won't be caught again, I've escaped a few times." Ye Yanran spoke out lonely.
Wen Qiqi scooped a spoonful of bland porridge again, and said calmly, "Only the dead can escape, there is no more possibility." β
Wen Qiqi lowered his head and drank porridge, he had been drinking it for three years, it was like drinking water, but he had to drink it.
Ye Yanran looked at Wen Qiqi, and a heart-wrenching feeling hit her heart.
γγγγγγγ
Ten days passed.
Huang Fuchen got off the ground, and the servants pushed him in a wooden wheelchair and went out to the courtyard to bask in the sun.
In the past ten days, a lot of military affairs were in the room, Adjutant Chen reported, Huang Fuchen dictated, and the secretary recorded.
In the front yard, Huang Fuchen's eyes fell on the peach tree not far away, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom.
"Push to the North Garden." Huang Fuchen said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The servant fell in response, pushed Huang Fuchen, and headed towards Beiyuan.
In the silence of the mahogany doorway, the wheelchair stopped.
Huang Fuchen's entire waist and abdomen were wrapped in bandages and his coat, and he looked up at the mahogany gate in front of him, his eyes sank.
"Young marshal, do you want to go in?" The servant behind him looked down and asked.
Huang Fuchen stared coldly at the mahogany door and was silent for a long time.
"No need, go to the study!" Huang Fuchen fell in a deep voice and retracted his gaze.
My mind was filled with the sound of gunfire that night, pounding heavily on my heart.
γγγγγγ
Another six days passed quickly.
On this day, in the dining room, Huang Fuchen came out for breakfast, and his body recovered a lot, but it was still not easy to get off the ground and sat in a wheelchair.
A table full of breakfast.
Jin Yuqiu sat and ate quietly.
Xia Yun on the side looked up at Huang Fuchen from time to time, with a cold face, looking angry.
Xia Yun's eyes gurgled around, and when she thought of something, she immediately said in a coquettish voice, "Young Marshal~~, that little practitioner is really daring, do you really plan to just shut it up and not punish it as a punishment?" β
As soon as Xia Yun's words came out, Huang Fuchen's already cold face became more and more iron-blue, and a pair of eagle eyes shot coldly at Xia Yun, "Get out!" β
"Young Marshal~~! Did Xia Yun say something wrong? Xia Yun looked innocent and inexplicable.
"Someone! Invite the fourth aunt out! In the future, if you are not allowed to come out to eat, you will be sent to your room! Huang Fuchen fell coldly.
"Young Marshal~~, I was wrong, can't I say it?" Xia Yun was anxious.
Jin Yuqiu, who was on the side, reached out and pressed the back of Xia Yun's hand, shook her head gently, and signaled her not to quarrel.
Seeing this, Xia Yun looked at Huang Fuchen's ugly face again, didn't dare to squeak anymore, and withdrew from the dining room.
The meal continued.
Jin Yuqiu glanced at the huge dining table, and there was only one woman left, and the corners of her lips hooked up a deep smile.
At that moment, the butler ran into the outside.
"Young Marshal, someone from the Commander's Mansion has arrived." The butler fell in a deep voice.
Huang Fuchen raised his head and looked at the housekeeper, "What?" What happened in the Shuaifu leaked out? β
"It's not! No! The housekeeper waved his hand again and again, "Young Marshal, that's the case, someone from the Commander's Mansion said that tomorrow is the birthday of the Eighth Aunt, and Commander Ye hopes that the Young Marshal can go to the Eighth Aunt's Mansion with the Eighth Aunt!" Stop by for dinner. β
"Birthday." Huang Fuchen repeated in a low voice, his eyes flashing with a bit of deliberation. β
"Young marshal, how do you think you want to reply?" The housekeeper looked down at Huang Fuchen's expression.
Huang Fuchen's palm bone stretched out, and a deep voice fell, "If you go back, just say that the eighth aunt is too infected with the wind and cold, and it is inconvenient to go to the house, so stay for a while and go again!" β
When the housekeeper heard this, he nodded hurriedly, "Yes!" β
Until the housekeeper left, Huang Fuchen sank his gaze, and a complex light appeared in his dark brown pupils, and Jin Yuqiu on the side glanced at it secretly, but he didn't dare to speak.
Huang Fuchen dropped the chopsticks in his hand, and said in a deep voice to the servant behind him, "Go to Beiyuan!" β
When the servant heard this, he nodded hurriedly, pushed the wheelchair, carried over the threshold, and headed out.
When Jin Yuqiu heard this, he stood up suddenly, looked at the back of Huang Fuchen leaving, and his mind sank.
I still forgot, Ye Yanran is Commander Ye's daughter after all, and this big brother is still far away on the front line in Qizhou, although this matter is pressed down for the time being, the paper can't contain the fire after all, and the young marshal will let her out after all.
γγγγγγγγ
North Garden, second floor.
Ye Yanran and Wen Qiqi sat on the fence outside, one looking down at the book, and the other saying a few words from time to time.
Rose was in the house, packing up a box of old books that she brought in, and the ones that were thrown in yesterday were all medical books brought by Ye Yanran when she married into the Shuai Mansion.
"Yanran, I didn't expect Huang Fuchen to be quite considerate of you, I was afraid that you would be lonely, so I got a box of books and came in for your entertainment." Wen Qiqi quipped.
Ye Yanran raised her eyes, lightly crossed Wen Qiqi's face, and smiled a little bitterly, "Think about it from another angle, he plans to let me live here for the rest of my life." β
"Hehe~~" Wen Qiqi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "It makes sense, it's like behind the seemingly gentleness, but it's actually a trap." β
Just then, Rose ran out of the house, "Miss! Miss! Look at how there is a piece of jade pendant here, it looks very beautiful! β
Rose held a piece of jade pendant and handed it to Ye Yanran, Ye Yanran dropped the book in her hand and took the jade pendant.
The color of the jade pendant is transparent and turquoise, and when you turn it over, it is engraved with the words "Shaoyue".
"Where did you find that?" Ye Yanran was stunned all of a sudden, and looked at Rose.
Rose pointed to the inside of the room, "Just in that box of books, the bottom book, sandwiched in the book, if you don't read it carefully, you really haven't found it." β
Ye Yanran suddenly understood, and smiled a little helplessly, "I'll just say, how can the jade pendant be gone, it turns out that I forgot it and sandwiched it in the book." β
Wen Qiqi on the side saw it, reached out and took the jade pendant in Ye Yanran's hand, landed in the palm of his hand, and looked up and down.
"This jade pendant looks upper-class and is worth a lot of money, Yanran, this is your family's heirloom?" Wen Qiqi asked casually.
Ye Yanran sighed, "It's not mine." Someone else's,Now it seems,It doesn't seem to be on it yet.γγ β
"Who's?" Wen Qiqi flipped over the jade pendant, looked at the words engraved on the back, and read it out, "Shaoyue?" It's a man's little print, right? It can't be your lover, right? β
"Phew!" Rose hurriedly interjected, "Miss Wen, don't talk nonsense, my young lady doesn't have a lover." β
Ye Yanran's eyes were gloomy, and she remembered that this jade pendant had just returned to China, went to Qizhou, and gave it when she met Jin Yue.
Thinking of Jin Yue, Ye Yanran suddenly remembered what he said about the half-year appointment, Qu Dan became the king's pavilion.
From this point of view, he was ready to get rid of Jin Sihan at that time, so he talked about it for half a year, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that he doesn't need it for half a year, he should be the commander of the single army now, right? It's just that the time difference has stabilized the morale of the army.
"Yanran, what are you thinking?" Wen Qiqi handed the jade pendant back to Ye Yanran.
Ye Yanran stretched out her hand to take the jade pendant and thought for a moment.
Suddenly, Ye Yanran stood up, at the height of the second floor, she could see the leaves of the locust tree sticking out of the high wall...
γγγγγγ
Outside the gate of Beiyuan, the handyman Ding followed Huang Fuchen.
The heavy mahogany door was pushed open with a "clatter", and the servant pushed the wheelchair into the North Garden.
On the second floor of the courtyard, Wen Qiqi stood up suddenly, "How did I hear someone coming in!" It's still quite a few people! β
At this time, there were scattered footsteps on the stone road outside.
Wen Qiqi looked outside, and when she saw everyone surrounding the wheelchair, the outline of the man in the wheelchair became clearer and clearer...
Wen Qiqi's head clanged, and his face turned pale, "He... How did he get in? β
Ye Yanran looked at Wen Qiqi's pale face, then stood up, and followed the line of sight...
A pair of phoenix eyes froze, and she saw Huang Fuchen sitting in a wheelchair, his face was cold, and the wheelchair was pushed towards the door of the courtyard.
