Chapter Seventy-Three: The Secret of the Year

On the second day, it was Chen Yifei's rest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The two shared a spacious carriage.

Su Jinchen sat in the corner with his knees crossed. From time to time, the cold wind lifted the corner of the car curtain, blowing away the girl's long hair, strands of hair, brushing her delicate and smooth cheeks.

Su Jinchen couldn't help but shudder.

Chen Yifei's eyes that fell on the scroll seemed to sweep over the small figure casually, and he couldn't help frowning.

I didn't even notice it before...... She's already so thin.

The carriage continued to jolt forward, and the girl's face gradually pressed against her lap...... I fell asleep before I knew it.

The long eyelashes couldn't cover the green black under the eyes, and the palm-sized little face was covered by the hair, and it was so pale that it was almost transparent.

She must not have slept again last night, right?

Chen Yifei sighed, thought about it, gently put down the book in his hand, and untied the robe on his body......

………………

"Oh-no! Don't! Help me! Help me! An hour later, a woman's scream was heard in the carriage.

Qing Yan, who was driving outside, couldn't help but shake his hand holding the reins - if he didn't know that his master was a person, he would have thought that Su Jinchen was being insulted by Chen Yifei!

Qingyan shrunk his neck, turned back and scratched his head at the carriage, turned around and continued on his way as if he hadn't heard.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a dream...... You just had a nightmare. Someone whispered reassurance in her ear.

The man's embrace was solid and warm, and Su Jinchen subconsciously hugged his waist and buried his face in it.

Chen Yifei's body stiffened obviously.

The delicate body in her arms was still trembling.

After a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart, Chen Yifei raised his hand hesitantly, stroked Su Jinchen's soft satin-like long hair with a stiff movement, and said softly, "It's okay...... Don't be afraid, it's all over. ”

There is a warm liquid rolling down the cheeks...... Su Jinchen cried in Chen Yifei's arms for a while before he recovered from the nightmare just now. She was shocked and embarrassed, and hurriedly let go of the hands that tightly hugged Chen Yifei's waist.

Su Jinchen turned his head and quickly wiped away the tears on his face, stood up in a hurry and said, "The slave maid has just lost her honor...... Please forgive the second young master. ”

The cloak that covered her body slid down her shoulders and fell to the ground.

Su Jinchen was stunned for a moment, hurriedly leaned down and picked up his coat, only holding it in his arms, not knowing what to say.

"Let's put on it first." Chen Yifei sat upright and waved his hand lightly, "It's very cold in the car-you're too thinly dressed." ”

Su Jinchen pursed his lips and subconsciously glanced up at him.

Chen Yifei's face turned slightly red, paused, and said, "If you feel tired, you might as well sleep for a while, we're just afraid that we will have to walk for a while." ”

Su Jinchen was stunned for a long time, and didn't pay attention to the strangeness of his words, so he only answered "yes", and sat back in the corner silently with his head down and his coat.

Chen Yifei had quietly sat down in his original position.

The coat also has a faint sandalwood characteristic of his body.

Su Jinchen sat silently for a while before gently putting his little face on the warm clothes...... But he never dared to fall asleep again.

………………

The carriage ran for about half an hour before it finally stopped.

Chen Yifei got out of the car first, and then turned around to personally escort Su Jinchen down.

Su Jinchen was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him.

No wonder she felt that the journey back home was extraordinarily long, and she thought it was ...... It's because Chen Yifei is by his side.

But...... Why would he do it?

All of a sudden, my heart turned a thousand times, and my eyes turned red before I knew it.

"This ...... Here are ......" It took a long time for her to barely regain her voice, but her lips couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Chen Yifei nodded. "Go ahead...... Don't stay too long. We need to get back to the city before dark. ”

Su Jinchen lowered his eyes in a panic and nodded, quickly blessed him, and walked towards the depths of the cemetery without raising his head.

………………

Walk through a mausoleum of the ancestors of the Guo family, pine and cypress, lush. The lacquer on the tombstones is as good as new, which shows that it has just been painted.

…… Su Jinchen finally stopped in front of a lonely tombstone.

Looking at the time on the tombstones, it is obviously much later than the previous ones, but the lacquer words on the tombstones have been mottled and peeled off. The grave is overgrown with weeds due to long-term neglect...... Most of the pines and cypresses next to it have also died.

Su Jinchen's sorrow came from it, and his fingertips silently stroked the lacquer words of "Guo Sushi" on the stele, and tears fell like rain.

"Eldest sister...... Chen'er has come to see you......"

………………

"Master, do you want to urge Miss Ruoxun......" Qingyan looked up at the blue sky, and said a little anxiously, "If you don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back before the city gate is closed......

Chen Yifei glanced at the cemetery where no one could be seen at all, "...... Wait. ”

Fortunately, Su Jinchen didn't let them wait too long.

When she came out, her eyes were still a little red and swollen.

"Second Young Master." She walked up to Chen Yifei and called in a low voice.

Chen Yifei bowed slightly, "Get in the car." ”

………………

On the way back, there was as silence as before.

"Eldest sister-" Su Jinchen's sudden opening made Chen Yifei raise his head in surprise.

She bit her lip and said softly, "Today...... It was the first time that the slave came to worship the eldest sister. As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but redden, and she stopped for a long time before she barely choked up and said, "The second young master is very kind, and the slave and maid remember it in their hearts." ”

"I also learned about ...... by chance," Chen Yifei paused, "Sister Ling, it's a pity." ”

Su Jinchen shook his head, "Eldest sister back then...... It is not, as the Guo family said, that he suddenly contracted a vicious disease and died. ”

Chen Yifei was stunned.

"He was abused to death by Guo Huairen."

Chen Yifei frowned. "If there is no real evidence for thisβ€”"

"Naturally, there is no evidence." Su Jinchen said indifferently, as if he was talking about an inconsequential trivial matter, "Guo Huairen was afraid that the slave maid would sue the government for the cause of his sister's death, so he not only asked his father to put the slave and maid under house arrest until his sister was buried, but also never allowed the slave and maid to come to worship...... "She said, and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "That beast even wants the slave and maid to fill his house...... And my father was really thinking about this possibility. ”

Chen Yifei was slightly stunned, and his hands were clenched subconsciously.

"That day...... You come to Su's house...... I'm at the end of my rope. She didn't look at him, just stared blankly at the wind-blown curtains. If there is a way, who wants to go that far...... After all, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will only end up with a dirty reputation that is incorruptible and shameful and scolded by everyone. ”

"The slave knows that the second young master looks down on the slave and maid...... All of this is also the fault of slaves and maids, and they deserve to be trampled on. She whispered, slowly turning her eyes to him, "It's just that now the slave has nothing...... When will the resentment against the slave in the second young master's heart disappear? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm not ......" to those beautiful, even desperate eyes, he suddenly became a little helpless.

His original intention today was to make her happy, how could it be like this? He couldn't even figure out what he was doing wrong.

Su Jinchen stood up and bowed deeply to him.

"I also beg the second young master to go back...... Let the slaves and maids live. (To be continued.) )
