It took a while to see licorice coming, it seemed that she didn't hear Xiao Wanyao's call just now, she came into the house with a medicine bowl and found that Xiao Wanyao had woken up.

"Since the second miss woke up, she drank the medicine, you were very sick yesterday, and the fever only subsided this morning, and the slave maid saw that the young lady had just slept sweetly, so she couldn't bear to tell the young lady to get up." Licorice couldn't hide the tiredness on her face when she spoke, it seemed that she had also worked all night, and now she still had dark circles on her eyes.

Originally, Xiao Wanyao still complained in her heart, but as a result, Licorice was tired to take care of herself, and the fire in her heart was all gone.

"I'm just worried about Xue Tianao'......" Xiao Wanyao finally expressed her worries to licorice.

"Second Miss, don't worry." Licorice smiled slightly, "Xue Gongzi knelt all night, and Xue Youcheng came out with the master at dawn, they didn't sleep all night, but all the hard work was not in vain, Xue Youcheng still relented, seeing that his son had such determination, he didn't fight with him, so he agreed to him." ”

Xiao Wanyao was relieved after hearing this, licorice blew the medicine and fed it to Xiao Wanyao one bite at a time, and Xiao Wanyao's face and lips were pale, which looked really distressing.

"And how is he now? Are you okay? Xiao Wanyao asked again.

Licorice looked at Xiao Wanyao for a long time, and finally said: "Don't hide it from the second miss, after all, Xue Gongzi has been pampered for many years, and kneeling in the rain this night is enough for him, the whole person is like a frosted eggplant in the morning, and he is sick in the rain, and he should be raised at home in the past few days." ”

Xiao Wanyao sighed and said in her heart: "It's really hard for him, I really don't understand what he is trying to do." ”

After lunch, Xiao Man came to see her in person, since she returned to this home, Xiao Man rarely came to see her, and the communication between father and daughter was very limited, and Xiao Wanyao has always been aware of her father's temper, so she is not very willing to be close to him, just like that, the relationship between father and daughter has been tepid.

Now Xiao Man came to visit Xiao Wanyao who was sick, which made Xiao Wanyao quite surprised.

After all, when she was injured last time, Xiao Man didn't come to visit, but just greeted her when she was injured, she knew that Xiao Man was a person, and she was cold for this more than once in her previous life, but in this life she became much calmer, although Xiao Man was ruthless to her, but after all, she was taken back from her aunt, and she was her biological father, Xiao Wanyao thought about these in this life, and felt that as long as he did not infringe on Xiao Man's interests, he still said to himself.

"Wan Yao, how are you?" Xiao Man asked, with concern in his words.

Xiao Wanyao sat up from the couch and said in a dumb voice: "Back to my father's words, Wanyao is much better now." ”

Xiao Man nodded and said, "That medicine is still taken on time, my father came to see you at this time, I just hope that you won't be upset with your sister in the future, it may be inevitable that she will be embarrassed by you, after all, she is in a bad mood, and she thought that she could marry into Xue Mansion." ”

Xiao Wanyao's expression turned cold: "Father, it's not Wan Yao's fault that Xue Gongzi wants to marry Wan Yao!" ”

"The Father knows." Xiao Man sat aside and comforted: "My father has seen it in my eyes, it is Xue Tianao who has a good impression of you, he has come to you several times, but you have turned him away, Wan Yao, you have done a good job in this regard, and your father appreciates your good sense of proportion, and last night my father also saw you persuading Xue Tianao in the yard, and in the end the dissuasion was unsuccessful or left, my father saw it, our family Wan Yao did not pester Xue Tianao, it was completely Xue Tianao who had a good impression of you." ”

Xiao Wanyao's expression darkened when she heard this, she did that before to avoid suspicion, and it turned out that Xue Tianao had let her leave last night because of her consideration.

Xiao Wanyao had no choice but to pretend to know nothing: "Father, how is Xue Gongzi now?" ”

Xiao Man thought of Xue Tianao, but he admired it a little: "Xue Tianao! Unexpectedly, he was still a little stubborn, and he knelt in the rain all night, his father really couldn't stand it, but his son was so stubborn that he had no choice but to agree. Wan Yao, on weekdays, I see that Xue Tianao can't support the wall, I didn't expect him to have such a determination for you, then I can rest assured that I will marry you to him, and after the wedding date is set, my father will definitely prepare a beautiful wedding for you, so that you can marry out in the most decent way. ”

Xiao Wanyao's heart warmed, and she looked at her father gratefully, Xiao Man was a little selfish, but in addition to obtaining benefits, she still considered her daughter.

"Wan Yao, thank you, father." Xiao Wanyao said.

Xiao Man nodded: "As long as you have been taking care of your body with peace of mind recently, the rest will worry about your father, you rest first, I still have things to do over there." ”

An autumn rain and a cold, the wedding date of Xue Tianao and Xiao Wanyao over there has been set, and here Xiao Wanrou is sitting in the attic every day looking at the fallen leaves and sad.

It has been three days since Xue Tianao sent Yuhe to Xiao Wanyao last time, it has been three days Xiao Wanrou has really been haggard without eating or drinking, Liu Ruyun is anxious in her eyes, but she is helpless, and after three days, Xiao Wanrou is not crying or making trouble, she just sits in the attic, looking loveless.

Liu Ruyun made up her mind, walked to Xiao Wanrou's side, gently patted Xiao Wanrou's shoulder, and said softly: "Wanrou, if you want to snatch Xue Tianao back, you have to cheer up now." ”

Hearing the words "Xue Tianao", a glimmer of light flowed in Xiao Wanrou's eyes, and then it was annihilated, she didn't look at Liu Ruyun, and looked into the distance with a hollow eye: "Mother, Xue Xiang agreed to their marriage, and the wedding date has been set, I ...... There is no hope. ”

Liu Ruyun replied firmly: "As long as the wedding is not over, there is still hope." ”

Then Liu Ruyun stood in front of Xiao Wanrou, looked into her eyes and said to her: "Since you think there is no hope, do you dare to fight with your mother again?" If you win, you can be with Xue Tianao; If you lose, our mother and sister will return to the original point in a big deal, for you, there is no loss, but there is still a glimmer of hope. ”

Perhaps infected by Liu Ruyun's firmness, Xiao Wanrou's eyes rejuvenated, and tears danced in her eyes: "Mother...... You, are you telling the truth? Is there any hope for me? ”

"Yes, my mother is fifty percent sure, Wanrou, let you decide now! To do or not to do? Liu Ruyun saw that Xiao Wanrou finally regained her spirits, so she hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask.

Xiao Wanrou finally nodded and said, "Mother, I'll do it, as long as Xue Tianao doesn't marry Xiao Wanyao, then I'll do anything!" ”

At this time, Xiao Wanyao's illness has basically recovered, and her clothes have changed from single clothes to thick ones, and now that the wedding date has been set, Xiao Wanyao also feels at ease, she has nothing to do recently, and she happens to have more time to accompany Xiao Shuxian and see her medical skills.

In the morning, Xiao Wanyao had just had lunch, and a girl came in with a brocade box outside, Xiao Wanyao felt strange, and the maid opened her mouth first: "Second Miss, this is a wedding gift from the eldest lady, please accept it." ”

Xiao Wanyao was stunned, and Licorice spoke first: "Second Miss, I don't know what the eldest lady is thinking, Second Miss is better to be careful." ”

"What can I think?" It was Xiao Wanrou's voice outside, and Licorice was so frightened that she hurriedly hid back.

"No need to hide, I was not good before, no wonder you were afraid of me." Xiao Wanrou glanced at the licorice and said lazily.

Seeing that Xiao Wanyao was puzzled, Xiao Wanrou said to her again: "I couldn't accept you as a sister before, and now it's the same, it's just that your marriage date has been set, and you will get married sooner or later Thinking of this, I don't think you hate it anymore, after all, we can't get along for a long time." ”

Xiao Wanyao was skeptical of this, but she couldn't help but ask: "But you don't ...... Xue Gongzi"

"It's good that I like Xue Gongzi, but ......" Xiao Wanrou interrupted her, and then rolled up her sleeves, although Xiao Wanyao knew about her injuries, she was still a little surprised when she really saw it.

Xiao Wanrou's right arm was covered with scars, which was very ugly.

"I'll tell you the truth, although my bones are connected, these scars can't be removed, and it is hopeless to enter the palace, so I will target Xue Tianao, who happened to come to propose." Xiao Wanrou's eyes were sad, "I thought it would be natural to marry Xue Tianao as a concubine, but I didn't expect him to prefer calligraphy and painting, and I ......"

She used her right hand to hold things, but Xiao Wanyao saw that she was struggling and slow.

"My right hand is basically crippled since the last injury, and it's good to be able to eat. It's hard to do anything else, let alone write and draw. I'm not like you, even my left hand is vivid. ”

After listening to Xiao Wanrou's words, Xiao Wanyao didn't know what to say, she was not born with her left hand to write and paint, it was an achievement after how much hardship she had suffered!

"This gift should be a little bit of my heart, don't worry, I'm not here to ask for your forgiveness, not to hurt you, but to ask you, if you agree, it's the best." Xiao Wanrou said.

Xiao Wanyao frowned, she always felt that this was more like Xiao Wanrou's style, if Xiao Wanrou came to give her a gift and begged her for forgiveness, she would feel uneasy.

"Say whatever you want!" Xiao Wanyao got straight to the point.

Xiao Wanrou raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "The Bowen Pavilion supported by my father in the city is about to open, mainly for the literati to gather so that the court can choose people, and my father wants me to go to the Bowen Pavilion as a concubine to inscribe, but you also know my situation, writing is no longer possible for me." But I really don't want people to know about ......."

"You want me to go for you?" Xiao Wanyao asked.

"Almost!!" Xiao Wanrou was also frank, "You have been in the limelight in the imperial capital recently, and if you go, your attention will be on you, and no one will notice me, and you won't find out my secret." ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled: "It's rare that you have such an idea of benefiting others and yourself, I thought that even if you didn't go, you wouldn't let me be in the limelight." ”

Xiao Wanrou sighed: "If I have any other way, I will definitely not come to you." It's just that my mother doesn't know, and when she comes back, she will inevitably be scolded. ”I1483
