With a heavy heart, Ning Jinyun and Qingyun walked back to the Red Peony Courtyard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As soon as they entered, they saw a maid sitting on the stone steps in front of the gatehouse, with her hands on her knees, sobbing and crying.

Ning Jinyun took a closer look, and then he saw that the maid in front of him turned out to be Yuexiang, only to see that the clothes on Yuexiang's body had been torn in several places, and there were obvious bruises and other scars on her neck and wrists, which were obviously beaten.

"Yuexiang, who beat you, isn't it Aunt Li?" Ning Jinyun asked urgently. Seeing Yuexiang's embarrassed appearance, the first person that came to her mind was the Li family.

Hearing the sound, Yuexiang raised her tear-stained face, and her eyes were stunned, "Miss, you're back." Immediately, she immediately cried again, "I'm sorry Miss, the slave maid failed to do the errand you ordered, and she was still discovered by Aunt Li......"

Ning Jinyun frowned and sighed, "So she did it to you and hit you?" ”

Yuexiang nodded and sobbed, "Aunt Li said that she was suspicious from the beginning, and she never believed in the slave maid at all, and she also said that the slave maid is no longer of any use to her, so she let the slave maid beat her and drove the slave maid out of the Peony Courtyard." ”

Looking at Yuexiang's pitiful appearance, Ning Jinyun couldn't help but blame herself a little, knowing that what she had done was useless, so she wouldn't send Yuexiang over to suffer.

She squatted down and said softly, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if this thing is done or not, as long as you're okay, you can go back to your original house to rest in a while, I've always kept your room for you, and I haven't let anyone else use it." You go and rest for a few days first, and then I'll ask Qingyun to send you some medicine for the injury, and you don't have to work anymore during this time, just rest and recuperate. ”

"Thank you, miss." Yuexiang cried and thanked her.

After pacifying Yuexiang, Ning Jinyun went to the West Wing and talked to Aunt Wen for a while, but of course, she would not tell everything that happened in Qixiang Courtyard, so as not to worry Aunt Wen.

In the afternoon, on a whim, the second wife wanted to take Ning Jinyao to walk around the street, Ning Jinyao proposed to also bring the second sister Ning Jinyun, and the second wife readily agreed. So, the second wife called Ning Jinyun, and then took Ning Jinyao with her, ready to go out, but when the three of them walked to the Hanging Flower Gate, they met Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao, as well as Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanqian, the brothers, obviously, they were also going out to play.

Since they had already met, because of the situation, they had no choice but to go to the street together.

Ning Jinyun hadn't come out for a long time, looking at the dazzling shops and stalls outside, she couldn't help but feel better, but when she thought of Ning Jinhua, Ning Jinrao and Li Yuanjing beside her, she couldn't help but feel a little deflated. I came out to play well, but I happened to run into such a few people, which is really unlucky!

"Second sister, I heard that there are still candied dumplings for sale, I have never eaten what candied dumplings are, let my mother buy some later, let's take it back and taste it." Ning Jinyao said with a grin, her voice as crisp as a silver bell.

Ning Jinyun smiled lightly, "As soon as you come out, you shout to buy food, okay, you and your mother go buy candied rice dumplings first, and I'll go there alone for a while." ”

"Second sister, are you alone? Don't you come with us? Ning Jinyao turned her head. He looked at her suspiciously.

Ning Jinyun wanted to stay with Ning Jinyao, but she didn't want to be with the other two sisters, and there was a Li Yuanjing next to her, which made her feel really awkward, so it was better for her to come out alone and walk around alone, but she was more comfortable.

"I haven't been out for a long time, and I want to take a casual look, so I won't leave with everyone." After Ning Jinyun explained, he coaxed again, "But don't worry, if I see something delicious and fun, I will definitely bring you some, you will obediently follow your mother's side, don't run around." ”

After the second wife heard the conversation between the two of them, she said with a smile, "Yun'er wants to play by herself for a while, then go there, Yao'er has me with you, but you don't go too far, when you have enough fun, go to the front to find us." ”

Ning Jinyun nodded obediently to the second wife, waved her hand at Ning Jinyao, and did not continue to walk forward with everyone, but walked towards a commercial street to the west.

As soon as she left, Li Yuanjing stopped, looked back at her slender back, and saw God, he thought that he could spend more time with her today and ease the relationship, but it was a pity that she just walked away.

Although the beauty is beautiful, if she is always isolated, it will inevitably be too difficult to get along with...... This made Li Yuanjing really have a headache, and he didn't know how to get close to Ning Jinyun.

"Cousin, what are you looking at?"

There was a pretended gentle soft voice in his ears, and Li Yuanjing could think of it with his toes, it was his cousin Ning Jinhua again. In the past few days, Ning Jinhua has been screaming "cousin" and "cousin" all day long, which makes him feel upset.

Li Yuanjing hid the impatient look in his eyes, turned his head and replied lightly, "It's nothing, let's continue to go." ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Ning Jinhua was not stupid, he could see that he had been staring at Ning Jinyun just now, and Ning Jinhua wanted to say a few more words as soon as his mind turned.

She muttered while kicking the pebble in her footsteps, "I don't know what's going on with the second sister, I don't like to be close to us, but I want to be alone, she's really strange, maybe there is a psychological problem." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuanjing didn't say anything, just walked forward without squinting, but he understood in his heart that Ning Jinhua said this just to discredit her sister. In front of others, he said bad things about his sister without concealment, and he must have no good intentions.

Ning Jinhua saw that his cousin didn't respond to him, so he smiled casually, looking at the innocent and harmless smile on her face, people who didn't know would definitely treat her as a little girl who had no scheming and didn't know the world, who would have thought that she was a person who regarded her half-sister as a mortal enemy.

Shopping with a group of people is often the most boring, and a few of them just walk around the street casually, but they don't really see anything interesting or buy something they like.

This also made Li Yuanjing more and more bored, and his steps accelerated with his emotions.

Suddenly, next to a stall selling zongzi in front, a young man in white rushed out, this young man walked too quickly, Li Yuanjing failed to notice him for a while, and the two accidentally bumped together, and the young man was holding all the zongzi on the ground.

"Hey, why don't you look at the road when you're walking, and you don't know how to apologize when you hit someone!" There was a slight arrogance in the neutral voice.

Li Yuanjing frowned, he looked at the stall of zongzi on the ground, and then looked at the few sticky zongzi sticky on his body, and a breath of anger also appeared in his heart, and said coldly, "You bumped into it yourself, you are the one who walks without looking at the road." ”
