The stars were shining, and Songyan walked slowly behind Shao Ding, who was carrying a lantern. There was a lamppost burning pine oil on the sandwich road of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, and the flames shook from time to time, and the shadows of the pine smoke and Shao Ding were reflected on the wall and entangled and swayed with each other.

Shao Ding's most obvious shadow reflected by the lantern on the bluestone pavement was right at the foot of Songyan, and with every step she took, she stepped on it, and began to feel a little uneasy, and would stop from time to time to avoid the shadow. Walking in the unusually quiet, narrow and similar passageway, time and space seemed to stand still, and Songyan stepped on the shadow a little selflessly to play.

A small smile appeared at the corner of Songyan's mouth, and he gently stepped on the shadow's shoulders and chest, sometimes with some secret pride, and dotted a little with embroidered shoes on the shadow's head. She was having fun, but the shadow suddenly stopped moving, and Songyan raised her head to find that she had arrived in front of the hanging flower door of Zhengqiu Hall.

Shao Ding turned around with the lantern, and the shadow on the ground also widened and narrowed, disappearing from the feet of Songyan.

Song Yan was a little lost in his heart, but he still saluted Shao Ding and said, "I'll go and call the door, Hou Ye wait." ”

Shao Ding silently handed the lantern to Songyan, who took it and guessed that he was going back to the outer study, and couldn't help but say, "Is Master Hou going to Wuti Zhai?" Shao Ding looked at Songyan and nodded, and said, "I'm leaving, Madame will rest early." ”

Songyan saw him turn around and leave, just stepped on his shadow, as if she was not as in awe of the owner of this shadow as before, she chased a few steps with a lantern, and said with some eagerness, "Why don't you rest in the east wing tonight?" ”

Shao Ding stopped, and once again turned his back to Songyan and was silent for a long time. Seeing that he didn't speak, Songyan felt worried, and his fingers holding the handle of the lantern were clenched tightly.

I don't know how long it took, Shao Ding said in a tired voice, "Madam, why do we torture each other? I really don't know how to deal with you, and I don't know what you're asking for today. ”

After Song Yan passed over from Princess Yuyang, he finally heard him ask him again if he had bad intentions, so he hurriedly seized the opportunity and said, "Master Hou, I don't ask for anything!" ”

Shao Ding said softly, "Then what do you ask for?" ”

Songyan was stunned when he heard this, and Shao Ding said, "Could it be that Mrs. has hated for five years, alienated Ying'er for five years, and once she fell into the water, she suddenly let go of the old things?" ”

Songyan racked his brains to explain to Shao Ding, Shao Ding had already raised his head and sighed, and said, "Even if you really let go of your obsession at the moment of life and death, why should Madam contact the old man who has not left the cabinet?" ”

Song Yan didn't know how to answer for a long time, Shao Ding suddenly turned around and said, "Since we have talked about this today, let's talk about it again." “

Seeing his resolute expression, Song Yan couldn't help but take a step back, Shao Ding stepped forward step by step and said, "Madam, I was sorry for you five years ago, and I know that no matter what I take, I can't make up for the suffering you suffered back then. I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness in this life, but I really can't afford to pay it back. Although I have long been shameless as a sinner, I ask my wife to tolerate me to continue to steal my life because I still have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and as long as I am still in this world, I will be condemned by my conscience every day, and I can protect the stability of my wife's life. Now that Ying'er knows what happened, Mrs. hates me, ignore me, it's better to let go of yourself, forget about the past, and let the two of us be a strange couple in this life. Madame's kindness, and the rest of the sins and pains, I keep in mind in this life, if there is a netherworld in the world, Madame's hundred years later, I will definitely repay it all. ”

Song Yan had never seen Shao Ding say so many things, and although he said a lot, he could explain everything clearly, and he thought for a while, he didn't know how many times he had said these words in his heart?

Shao Ding finished speaking, and seeing that Songyan didn't answer, he was about to leave.

Songyan has known Shao Ding better in the past few days than in the past few years, although he knew the details of Shao Ding's life well in the past, but now he vaguely knows Shao Ding's temperament. At this time, he knew that if Shao Ding was allowed to leave like this, he would definitely recognize his own truth from now on, and single-mindedly exclude Songyan from his world.

When she thought of this, she was so anxious that she sweated, and hurriedly said, "Master Hou! ”

stopped Shao Ding, Song Yan thought vaguely in her heart, she was originally just a maid by Yan Furong's side, and she was never on the same level as Shao Ding, so how could she say that there was a world? In this case, why did you call Hou Ye in a hurry at this time?

Shao Ding had already looked at Song Yan, and the thoughts in her heart were temporarily thrown out of the clouds, and Song Yan had only one voice in her heart that kept saying, don't let him go like this! Don't let him just leave!

She was forced to be helpless by the voice, her mind was blank, she trembled with a lantern, and opened her mouth in the light of the flickering candle flame and said, "I don't want to be a strange couple with Hou Ye!" ”

In the tireless fast, the water and smoke holding the nectar were brought to the study. Shui'er looked around curiously, Yan'er followed Ganlu who was walking slowly, and entered the west wing of the study, the guards invited them to sit down, Ganlu took the two little maids to thank them, and the guards nodded a little unkindly, and then retreated.

The west wing of the tireless Zhai is empty, except for the two circle chairs in the middle, a case, and the black between the left and right tips I don't know what to put in. Yan'er let Shui'er light the candlestick, and he was a little embarrassed to hold the nectar for a while.

The three of them are not good at sitting in this circle of chairs, but there is no other place to rest in the west wing, just thinking about it, Ganlu stepped forward and sat straight on the chair, Yan'er saw that he was concentrating on lighting a candle and the water was very dismissive, although he muttered in his heart, he would not raise any objections. I just sat around like that.

The candle flame was lit, perhaps it had not been used for a long time, and it looked very dim. Yan'er looked at Ganlu's wound by candlelight, and when she saw that the blood stain had not expanded further, she smiled and said to Ganlu, "Sister, most of this blood has stopped. ”

Hearing her say this, she casually agreed, and when she saw that the candle flame was really dim, she plucked a jeweled hairpin from her head and used the tip of the hairpin to pick the lamp.

Yan'er continued to smile and said, "The imperial doctor will come after a while and give my sister medicine, and there will definitely be no scars left in the future." ”

A smile appeared on Ganlu's face, Shui Er stuck out her tongue, and continued, "Hou Ye said that when he gave Sister Ganlu the gold sore medicine in the army, it scared me, I heard that Hou Ye had an impermanence in the past, but I didn't expect it to be so inconsiderate." Yan'er, can you see the appearance of Hou Ye when he speaks? ”

She pulled her fingers down from the corners of her eyes and said in a strange low voice, "...... Tomorrow, I'll have a doctor. ”

After saying this, Shui Er and Yan'er laughed together, and suddenly there was a crackling sound in their ears, which startled the two little maids. The lights exploded, the room suddenly brightened, half of the nectar face was reflected in the light, half of the face was hidden in the dark, she took back the jewel hairpin, and said softly, "Even if she is so indifferent and ruthless, and she is used to military orders falling like a mountain, Madame opened her mouth, but she did not refute a word, and changed her mind on the spot." Master Hou, he ......"

Shui Er and Yan'er didn't hear what she muttered, and they talked about something else in one place. Manna sighed and unconsciously touched the sharp jeweled hairpin with her fingers.
