Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Glimmer of Light
Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen hurriedly sat down separately, and did not continue to discuss, but listened to Wen Ruyi and began to lecture seriously. It's just that next to Xu Youshan, Xu Yourong, who has been sitting upright, has some complicated emotions that others can't understand in his slightly drooping eyes at this time. Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen couldn't see it, so they missed this scene.
And today's Sheng Anxuan, as in the past, disbanded at the end of the time, Xu Youshan and the three of them also broke up in front of Sheng'an Xuan, Xu Mingwen returned to Qilin Fang, after all, the situation of the big house is still in a special period recently, so Xu Mingwen is not good to stay in Dongyang Lane often, so recently, Xu Mingwen is in Sheng Anxuan after school, and Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan broke up, not as before, they all went to Xu Yourong's Weizhou Courtyard to spend a long time before returning to Qilin Fang.
"Then I'll go first." Xu Mingwen said goodbye to Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan in front of the gate of Sheng Anxuan.
"Well, be careful on the road." Xu Youshan and the two laughed.
After Xu Mingwen boarded the carriage, the Chinese carriage surrounded by everyone began to drive into the distance, and Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan watched Xu Ming's group in place and couldn't see their figures, so they also boarded the carriage.
Xu Mansion, Early Autumn Hall.
The first thing Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan did when they returned to Xu's Mansion was, of course, to greet Mrs. Qi and Pei's family, and today was the same, after Xu Youshan and the two went to Qinhuatang to greet Mrs. Qi, they naturally went to the Early Autumn Pavilion, but today before the two of them walked into the Early Autumn Pavilion, they felt that something was wrong from afar.
In the past, the early autumn pavilion was especially recently. It's always lively and cheerful, but today is very unusual, and the entire early autumn hall is filled with silence. Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan found out that something was wrong with it from a distance, so after the two looked at each other strangely, they hurried to the early autumn pavilion, so that when they walked into the courtyard, Xu Youshan and the others didn't find that there was a "rare guest" in the courtyard of the early autumn pavilion, but walked straight to the house.
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss......"
But Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan haven't stepped into the house yet. was actually stopped outside by Liu Yin.
"Sister Liu Yin?"
Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan looked at Liu Yin in confusion, but Liu Yin raised her chin slightly and pointed in the other direction. So Xu Youshan and the others also looked in the direction pointed by Liu Yin. But it's okay not to hope, this hope directly stunned Xu Youshan and Xu Youshan in place.
"Big brother!" Xu Youshan exclaimed.
The thing that shocked Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan was that they were now in the courtyard. The robes were a little messy. His face was very pale, and he looked very flustered and helpless - Xu Xuan.
Xu Sui is calm and calm, at least in Xu Youshan, or even in Xu Yourong's eyes, Xu Sui has always been like this, it seems that no matter when, Xu Sui will always be calm and calm, no matter what happens, he can't be shaken, and naturally he won't show the look that makes Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan frightened.
"Big brother. What's wrong, is something going on? Xu Youshan looked at Xu Yourong. Then he hurriedly walked to Xu Xuan's side and asked him softly.
But Xu Sui was still motionless, and he didn't seem to notice Xu Youshan's arrival at all, just staring at the empty front with stunned eyes, silent. And Xu Sui's abnormal performance also surprised Xu Youshan very much, and after she continued to call Xu Sui a few more times, but Xu Sui didn't react at all, Xu Youshan hurriedly ran to Liu Yin's side and asked, "Sister Liu Yin, what's going on, what's wrong with the eldest brother?" ”
Liu Yin opened her mouth with an embarrassed face, but she never said anything, and finally under Xu Youshan's questioning, she only said: "Second Miss, the slave can't say it." ”
"Sister Liu Yin!" Xu Youshan was surprised.
"Okay, Sister Shan, let's go in and find my mother." But before Xu Youshan could be strange, Xu Yourong had already grabbed her and walked straight to the house, no matter what Xu Youshan's reaction was.
And at this time in the house, there were two people standing in the lobby, it was Liu Yue and Liu Wu, the expressions on their faces were not very worried now, until they saw Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan who entered the room, and then they were a little relieved and hurriedly saluted Xu Youshan and said, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss." ”
"Sister Liuyue, Sister Liuyue." And Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, of course, also saw the worry on Liu Yue's faces just now, so now Xu Yourong hurriedly asked without delay: "Mother, is she okay?" ”
Liu Yue and Liu Wu paused when they heard this, then shook their heads at Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, and only said, "Madame is in a bad mood now. The others were like Liu Yin, and they didn't say anything.
And Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan looked at this situation, and naturally knew that from Liu Yue and Liu Wu's mouths, they shouldn't be able to ask anything, and it is estimated that it is not easy to let Pei and Xu Xuan do such an abnormal thing, otherwise how could Liu Yue and them be so silent? So Xu Youshan and the others didn't ask anything more, and after nodding to Liu Yue and Liu Wu, they went straight to the inner room.
"Mother."
"Auntie."
In the inner room, there was only Pei Shi at this time, at least before Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan came in, Pei was the only one sitting quietly on the cloud goose Daiqing rocking chair carved with peony bucket patterns.
"Oh, you're here." But now there is a good thing that Pei Shi is not like Xu Sui, no one has paid attention to him, at least now under Xu Youshan's call, Pei Shi still reacts.
"Well, Sheng Anxuan is gone, and we're back." Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan cautiously approached Pei's family, as if they were afraid of scaring her.
"So, it's the end of the day?" Pei Shi looked up at the window, as if to determine what time it was.
"Yes, mother, it's almost noon." Xu Yourong looked at Pei Shi like this, and was a little uncontrollable in fear, and some couldn't help but think of the period when Xu Chen's condition did not improve, and Pei's hollow and terrifying appearance.
"Great aunt. Tell us what's wrong. But before Xu Yourong's fear continued to expand, Xu Youshan was too straight to the point. drove Xu Yourong's scared emotion out of the clouds, leaving only Xu Youshan looking at her with a shocked face, and she was really shocked beyond words for her words that were likely to stimulate Pei's family.
"Sister Shan, I'm fine."
"Auntie, you lie."
"......" But Xu Yourong's shock just now hadn't been digested, Xu Youshan gave her several big moves one after another, making Xu Yourong almost faint from being hit by Xu Youshan for a while. If it weren't for Xu Yourong's very strong and tenacious heart, which made her hold on, it is estimated that she would have been lying on the ground by now.
"Sister Shan." Xu Yourong reluctantly stabilized his brain, which was still shaking. grabbed Xu Youshan, didn't want her to speak anymore, but before Xu Youshan, who was dragged by Xu Yourong, was about to refute Xu Yourong with righteous words. A chuckle was already heard. Xu Youshan and the others were stunned for a while before they turned their heads to look at Pei Shi in a daze.
"What are you two doing here?" Pei Shi smiled softly, looked at the two children in front of her, and slowly warmed up her heart for the worry and anxiety that she couldn't hide.
"Uh...... We're not doing anything, mother. Xu Yourong said stunned.
"Yes, auntie, we're not doing anything." Xu Youshan was also a little unresponsive and looked at Pei. Said stupidly.
But looking at Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan's rare stupid looks, Pei suddenly laughed. And the laughter grew louder and louder, and finally it was so loud that even Liu Yin, who was guarding outside the house, heard it.
But Pei Shi smiled, but Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan were confused, "Mother...... Mother" After Xu Youshan glanced at each other, they still didn't know what Pei was laughing at, but gradually the two of them also relaxed their expressions. And in fact, what is this, as long as Pei can smile, the rest doesn't seem to be very important-Xu Youshan was thinking easily in her heart, but Xu Sui's face suddenly appeared.
By the way, there is a big brother outside the house.
Xu Youshan suddenly remembered the abnormal Xu Sui outside the house, and her heart suddenly became a little anxious, but looking at Pei Shi who was laughing heartily at this time, Xu Youshan couldn't open her mouth, so anxious that her little face was about to wrinkle.
"Actually, it's not a big deal."
But just when Xu Yourong looked at Xu Youshan's little face that was about to be wrinkled like a bun, and realized something, Pei suddenly stopped laughing, just looked at the two of them, and said softly: "It's really not a big deal, it's just that Aunt Mo was also sent out just now, and when Brother Xue ran over to plead, he knew the truth about Chen'er's poisoning." ”
What the? Aunt Mo was sent out of the house? Why?
Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan looked at Pei Shi with shocked expressions, but Pei Shi turned his head sideways, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and continued in a soft and soft voice: "Aunt Gu was just robbed by someone, and in the past few years, what really made Chen'er plant the people who left the injured youth was the sachet that Aunt Mo gave to Qiu'er, and the incense that Qiu'er burned in the house shared with Chen'er all the year round. ”
Pei Shi used a soft and light voice to say something to Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan in their ears, like earth-shattering words, so that Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan's ears were only like rumbling thunder in their ears now.
……
……
The Xu Mansion at night is also bright and bright, at least in the vast majority of areas, even at night, the Xu Mansion is still as bright as day, after all, the glass or crystal lamps that can be seen everywhere are not good-looking, and the slightest bright and soft light will also make the entire Xu Mansion shrouded in a soft and bright atmosphere. But no matter how bright the place is, sometimes there will still be dead corners, just like the current Chunning in Xufu, which is not shrouded by the lights, but falls into an endless darkness.
And at this time, it was also not far from the darkness of Chunningju, but someone was deliberately walking here.
"Big sister, is the big brother really here?" Xu Youshan looked at the Chun Ning Ju in front of her, without a trace of light, and really doubted that Xu Xuan would be there.
"Well, I've already sent someone to ask, and Brother Yu'er hasn't come out since he went in in the morning, just like yesterday." Xu Yourong was also looking at the place in front of her that she used to be extremely resentful, but now in addition to resentment, there are also many more complicated places - Chunningju.
It has been several days since Aunt Gu and Aunt Mo were sent out of the house by Xu Xi, and this has been a few days since Xu Xuan was stunned in the early autumn pavilion that day, but after Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan were also shocked that day, Xu Sui also began to become more and more abnormal day by day, the most abnormal of which is, of course, that he didn't even go to Taixue, so that Qi Xuan and several people have been playing haha for Xu Xuan, looking for various reasons, so that Xu Xuan will not be dismissed by Taixue.
But also because of this, when one of Xu Chen's classmates came to visit him two days ago, after asking Xu Xuan casually, Xu Chen was also shocked to learn that Xu Xuan actually fainted from him in Taixue, and after being sent back by Qi Xuan, in fact, he never returned to Taixue.
And since Xu Chen already knew about it, after he deduced it by connecting all the recent events and all the clues, Xu Chen immediately guessed seventeen, eight, nine, and then Xu Chen asked Dai Zhou to invite Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, and everything was determined in two sentences. After all, facing Xu Chen, Xu Youshan and the others would not lie, even if it was a white lie.
"I want to see Big Brother."
But after Xu Chen confirmed everything, what surprised Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan was that the first thing Xu Chen said was that he wanted to see Xu Xuan, Xu Youshan and the others originally thought that no matter what, Xu Chen would need a buffer period, but now it seems that they are thinking too much. And there is more than this thing that is surprising, because after Xu Chen said that he wanted to see Xu Xuan, Xu Yourong actually agreed without saying a word.
This really surprised Xu Youshan, and it can even be said that this is more surprising than Xu Chen saying that he wanted to see Xu Xuan as soon as he opened his mouth.
After all, Xu Chen and Xu Xuan have a good relationship, which is well known; On the other hand, Xu Yourong's dislike of Xu Sui is also well known. Because of the existence of Xu Sui, the eldest son of the Xu family's big house, people still remember the things of the year from time to time, and they can't forget it if they want to, and this just happens to gradually whip Xu Yourong every time, making her hate Xu Sui more and more.
And this vicious circle has always existed between Xu Yourong and Xu Sui, and it is also a dead knot that others can't untie no matter what. But because of this, it seems that Xu Yourong agreed to Xu Chen's request to see Xu Xuan so quickly, which would surprise others. (To be continued......)
