Chapter 570: Intentions
The guard was also waved back, the door was closed again, and in the study where the light became more and more dim, the father and son of Jingbei Hou each confronted each other silently across a desk at one end of the study. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After a while, Jingbei Hou's voice sounded faintly, as if with a point of powerlessness that could no longer be hidden, "What do you want to ask?" ”
"What do I want to ask...... Geng Xiwu's tone is light, as if he will be scattered in the dark night at any time, with some indescribable taste, just like the strings that have not been moved for a long time, and the sluggishness when they are played again after a long time. Oh, yes! What did he want to ask? On the way back to his house at a fast pace, he felt as if he had thousands of questions to ask, but at this moment, facing the Marquis of Jingbei and facing his question, Geng Xiwu suddenly realized that he didn't know what to ask.
Time passes, little by little. Neither father nor son spoke, but the night sank a little. There was no light in the house, and gradually, everything in the house was shrouded in night, and Geng Xiwu's face was immersed in a dark phantom, as if silence had become a sculpture.
When Geng Xiwu finally moved, he didn't speak, but remained silent, turned around very slowly, and walked in the direction of the door step by step.
With a "squeak", the door was gently pushed open, and he walked into the night outside the house step by step without looking back.
Jingbei Hou breathed a sigh of relief after he walked away, fell backwards and slammed into the back of the chair. After a while, I felt that the wind pouring in between the open doors was not only damp, but also brought in a little rain, and outside, I don't know when, it started to rain......
The rain was pouring down, Lan Xi put on a coat, raised his head, and looked through the half-open window at the lamp under the eaves that was slowly wet by the falling rain. The lampshade of the lamp was made of glass, and it was painted with the original spring scene, which was washed more vividly because of the rain. Lan Xi has always loved painting, this should have been a scene she was extremely happy to see, but today she couldn't arouse the slightest interest in it.
The sound of subtle footsteps came into her ears, and she turned her head abruptly, seeing that the person she had been waiting for had finally returned, and while quietly breathing a sigh of relief, she saw that his whole body seemed to be soaked by the rain, and the color of the dark straight jacket became darker, tightly wrapped around her body, and the wet hair.
Lan Xi couldn't help but be anxious, hurriedly put off his shoes, and got down from the soft couch, "Are you raining?" No way! It's going to catch a cold, so I'll ask them to prepare hot water for you to freshen up. When the words fell, she was anxious to bypass him to call someone, and she was a little annoyed in her heart, today, what happened to these girls? I didn't see the opportunity at all, seeing the prince like this, there was no movement, no one didn't say anything, and there was no one in sight.
was suddenly stopped by someone behind her and stopped her steps. Lan Xi was stunned for a moment, and heard him leaning against her ear, his voice hoarse and full of exhaustion and pleading, "Aqing, don't go!" ”
Lan Xi felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly changed his mind. "Good! I'm not going! But you're wet and easy to catch a cold, so let's change your clothes first, okay? Her voice was soft and soft, as if she were afraid of frightening him. Since she met, she had never seen him so fragile, which made Lan Xi's heart sour and astringent, sullen and painful.
This time, Geng Xiwu did not refuse again. Lan Xi gently broke free of his lock, took his hand, and led him to the clean room. There was a pot of hot water simmering on the small stove on the side, not much, but Lan Xi still mixed a small basin and helped him wipe his head and face. And he found clean clothes, and took away the wet one from his body.
If it had been normal, Lan Xi would have been ashamed a long time ago. But today, Xu is mood is different, and she actually did it calmly. When the two of them came out of the clean room and sat on the edge of the bed, Lan Xi took a dry cloth towel, knelt behind him, and curled his hair carefully.
During this period of time, none of them said a word, but Geng Xiwu's fist that had been clenched loosened little by little, and there was finally a hint of brilliance in his eyes that had been empty.
"Aqing, thank you." After a few moments, he finally spoke, his tone slightly calmer, but still hoarse. "Thank you for not asking me anything."
"You're too tired today, let's go to sleep first!" Lan Xi still didn't ask more.
Geng Xiwu took her hand, Lan Xi turned around, seemed to read his thoughts from his eyes, and smiled slightly, "I'm not leaving!" ”
The couple lay side by side on the pillow, the red curtain hanging down, isolating the bed from a confined space, and their hands clasped tightly together.
"Have you rested?" Outside the house, Mother Qin asked in a cautious whisper.
"The lights are out, so it's time to stop." Pillow Moon whispered.
Mother Qin breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but the knot in the center of her eyebrows was still deeply locked, "I hope it's okay!" "Just now, when the prince came back, the Shura, who was like being reborn in hell, was wet and didn't say anything, and the anger that couldn't be expressed all over his body turned into a cold murderous aura, and with a light look, none of them dared to approach. After that, Qin's mother has been uneasy, afraid of what the prince will do to the girl, but fortunately, it has been quiet inside, and she has found the most secure pillow moon to guard outside, for fear that something will happen.
It's not that Pillow Moon doesn't understand Qin's mother's thoughts, but she doesn't think so, and says with a smile, "Mom, don't worry!" No matter what happens, the prince will not hurt the girl. ”
Mother Qin looked at her suspiciously, Pillow Moon was the safest, but today she said it very firmly. In the sight, Pillow Moon smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to be full of indescribable deep meaning. She frowned, "Is there anything I don't know?" ”
Pillow Yue's eyes flashed slightly, her smile remained unchanged, and she pondered for a moment before she said, "Mom, do you still remember that the night the girl entered the door, it was my night?" ”
Mother Qin nodded, she naturally remembered. At that time, Liuyan and Fangcao, the two unmarried big girls of Yunying, were so ashamed that she asked the pillow moon, who had become a relative, to watch the night.
"That night, the girl had already slept ......"
Pillow Moon slept very lightly because of her heart. When he heard the movement, he hurriedly flipped it up. When he arrived in front of the Duobao Pavilion, he saw Geng Xiwu standing in front of the table, personally taking care of the two wedding candles and adjusting them to the normal speed.
The dragon and phoenix candles at the time of marriage represent the husband and wife, and they burn out together, which is a good sign of growing old together.
It was also from then on that Pillow Moon really put her mind at ease, and her girl really married the right person.
After hearing this, Qin's mother was also full of emotion. Knowing that the prince is interested in their girls, but he doesn't want to, he is still so attentive, and he is the son of the world, and he can even adjust the speed of the two wedding candles himself, and his intentions for the girl can be seen.
In this way, Qin's mother's panicked heart can finally be completely let go. As Pillow Moon said, no matter what happens, the prince will definitely not hurt the girl.
