Xu Silk Zhen didn't know where he went in the afternoon, Zhu Yan was very ashamed because he had misunderstood Wang Yong before, and took advantage of Xu Silk Zhen's absence to discuss with Bai Ping to put some clothes and coils, and took advantage of the dusk to come up at night, and hurriedly sent him to the dock of Bailang Town, telling him to hide far away in Lingnan and not to be discovered.
Until the middle of the moon, Xu Suzhen still did not come back, Zhu Yan stood in the corridor in a daze and looked at the hook in the dark night that was about to be full of the moon, and couldn't help but sigh lowly.
"Miss ......" Bai Ping saw that she didn't sleep, so naturally it was not easy to go to sleep, and while she wanted to put on a hood for her, she gently comforted, "Bai Apple sees that your cousin is very clever, since he can escape from Beijing, he can naturally reach Lingnan safely." β
Zhu Yan nodded, she wasn't thinking about it, it was true that as Bai Yu said, Wang Yong was so clever, and it was not delayed at all to send him away this time, as soon as the boat arrived in Lingnan, the horse took off the reins and swam into the abyss, and no one would be able to catch him.
She was just thinking about what she had heard during the day, if it was like what Shu said, Xu Suzhen had worked hard to bring herself all the way from the capital to Jiangnan, and she had taken care of herself all the way over the years, she should not doubt that she would have any other thoughts no matter what...... But Yuan Rin's words didn't seem to be intentionally alarmist and threaten Xu Suzhen.
Could it be that this old woman, who does seem to be a little mysterious, really has her mysterious side?
"...... her true face?" Zhu Yan knocked on the railing. I couldn't help but sigh lowly.
"Ah Yan really wants to know?" Yuan Rin didn't know when she stood beside her, and she was in Bai Apple's seat.
Zhu Yan suddenly came back to his senses and took a few steps back. Shaking his head in disbelief, "How are you here?!" Hurriedly raised his hand to rub the corners of his forehead, "I'm sleepy......?" β
ββ¦β¦ That's not it, maybe it's thinking too much. Seeing her retreat, Yuan Rin took a few steps closer, looked at her and chuckled, "I've been standing here for a while." You just look up and think about what is on your mind, and you don't realize it until now. β
Zhu Yan was so embarrassed that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and he clearly remembered that he was still standing beside him and Bai Apple. Why is it just a gap between gods, and it has become like this?
After calming down slightly, Zhu Yan pinched the Hegu acupoint in the tiger's mouth to make himself sober, and tried to maintain a smile as much as possible. "Yuan Gongzi didn't say to visit Sister Ling in the border mansion. And I will rest in Bienfu tonight, why is it so late at night...... ...... "I couldn't think of how to describe his absurd behavior for a while, so I coughed awkwardly and shut up."
"My sister is not in good spirits, and she doesn't like to see people." Yuan Rin vaguely showed a hint of helplessness, but he couldn't see it clearly in the night.
"...... the living? Isn't she your own sister? Zhu Yan shook his head lightly, don't you think it's too difficult to convince people to say such a reason?
"Sometimes. Even if you are a loved one, you may not be the most confidant. Yuan Rin smiled faintly. Looking back at the corridor, "Mrs. Zhu thinks she hasn't come back yet?" β
Zhu Yan's face sank slightly, "If my mother comes back, how can I allow you to come up so easily?" In fact, she really didn't understand, Fang Cai Bai Apple was clearly beside her, why did she disappear in the blink of an eye? What's more, even if Bai Apple has always wanted to marry herself, but after all, she can't tolerate such unreasonable behavior, where did she go?
"Ah Yan, do you respect Mrs. Zhu very much?" Yuan Rin seemed to ask unintentionally, but turned his head sideways and looked at Zhu Yan seriously, not even letting go of the slightest expression of her.
ββ¦β¦ Why do you ask this? Zhu Yan was silent, she was listening through the door during the day, and Yuan Rin just pushed the door in at that time, did she already know that she was eavesdropping?
"Just asking." Yuan Rin tried her best to make a relaxed appearance, "Have you ever thought about what you would think of her if she wasn't your mother?" β
This question was a little strange, Zhu Yan lowered his face slightly, turned away from him a little, and said coldly, "Parents are born to be determined, why do you want to think about it?" β
ββ¦β¦ Well, if you don't like to talk about this, you might tell me about your sister's illness, what do you think? Yuan Rin took advantage of Zhu Yan's failure to exit to catch people away, and diverted the topic in time.
Whenever he talked about academic issues, Zhu Yan would always be very serious, knocking on the railing while talking about the situation when he was diagnosing Yuan Yaohua that day.
The crisp sound of percussion accompanied by her earnest voice seemed to complement each other in the quiet night.
"My sister was indeed ......in the palace at that time," Yuan Rin quietly listened to Zhu Yan talk about that, and suddenly sighed in a low voice, "She has never talked to anyone about those things, I don't know why she ...... you?" β
"Haven't you talked about it?" Zhu Yan blinked, very strange, although the four can be cured, but the psychological problem, the patient does not say, how can the doctor know so clearly, "Once upon a time...... Hasn't it been healed? β
"My sister is often bedridden, and when she takes medicine, she decreases, and she relapses from time to time...... I studied medicine, on the one hand, I followed my father's arrangement, and on the other hand, I also hoped to find a way to cure her. Yuan Rin was a little disappointed when he talked about these things.
ββ¦β¦ And what about later? As soon as Zhu Yan asked, he immediately felt that he was very stupid, if he was cured later, how could he be like this?
Yuan Rin shook her head regretfully, "She never wants to say how she feels, even if she can get some clues by percussion and pulse diagnosis, and slightly alleviate the symptoms, it is impossible to cure it completely." β
Zhu Yan lowered her head gloomily, she felt that Yuan Yaohua must have been frightened by such a tragic incident when she was a child, so she was wary of anyone, and she really didn't know why she opened up to herself at that time.
"Ah Yan, in a few days, can you go see her again? I think my sister treats you differently ...... others" Yuan Rin's voice was very low, as if pleading, which was very different from his previous expression.
ββ¦β¦ Well, as a healer, you should be like that. Zhu Yan smiled and looked at him with some worry. A trace of worry swept up in my heart.
These people around her, Xu Silk Zhen can't see through it, and Yuan Rin she can't see through it either. Neither of them seemed to have any intention of harming herself, but both had ulterior secrets, and she always felt that she was walking on thin ice now, as if she was not careful enough to be drawn into a dispute - which was not what she wanted.
Seeing that Yue'er had turned west a lot, she sighed lowly, "Childe tonight...... Are you going to rest here? β
Yuan Rin didn't answer, and the unnatural look just now had been put away. He was looking at her with interest, waiting for the unexpected woman to say anything unexpected.
"Xiao An hasn't returned yet, if the son doesn't mind. You can rest in my room next to me for the night, and tomorrow ...... I discussed it with my mother again. Zhu Yan didn't care about anything, after all, it was so late, it would be too unreasonable to drive him back to Bianfu. And Wang Yong's house was empty. But it hasn't been inhabited for months, and it has accumulated a thick layer of dust, so naturally it can't be lived.
"Ah Yan, you are really interesting." Yuan Rin couldn't help but smile even more, "You're not afraid of being talked about?" β
Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him coldly, "I wanted to guard my mother for the rest of my life, but my son is so persistent that he will marry me." If you change your mind in the future, Zhu Yan will still be with your mother. Haven't you ever heard of this rumor? β
She really didn't care what others said, and she vaguely hoped that there would be negative rumors about herselfβpeople always don't see a person as good, and sometimes some clumsy deeds can protect themselves.
"'The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it; Heaps out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent; If you are above others, you will not be the others; The precedent is not far away, and the car will follow the track', this kind of truth, Childe must also understand? Zhu Yan pursed her lips, the night breeze was a little cold, so she couldn't help but tighten the placket of her cloak and retract her little hands into the robe.
"I've heard this mentioned by my master, but I haven't seen it in any books." Yuan Rin looked at her with a little surprise, the woman in front of him always made him feel that it was difficult to see clearly, for a while she was clearly a lively girl, and she would make mistakes from time to time, and for a while, she seemed to understand a lot of truths, like an old man who was used to seeing the grievances of the world.
"Something to say...... If you see a lot, you will naturally understand, but you don't need to take it seriously from that book. Zhu Yan raised her eyes and smiled, even in the past, she was not as old as Yuan Rin, but living in the era of information explosion, in less than twenty years, gave her enough opportunities to comprehend more truths.
"You're weird." Yuan Rin shook his head slightly, "Ah Yan, you know a lot of things, why do you deliberately act like you don't understand anything many times?" β
Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at him vigilantly, and saw that he was very concerned, so he lowered his voice, "In this way, you can also protect yourself......"
"But you ......" Yuan Rin became more and more puzzled, he had seen Zhu Yan unload Wang Yong's mandible without even blinking his eyes, why should such a girl show her weakness in order to get peace?
"Nothing, I...... Once upon a time, ......" Zhu Yan shook his head, as if he wanted to expel something chaotic from his head, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I don't need this anymore, I'm just used to it......"
Yuan Rin looked at her steadily, and heard that Zhu Yan had a serious illness when he came to Jiangnan when he was a child, and he forgot all his previous life in the capital, and naturally forgot that the two had known each other since childhood, and they had been married since childhood, but such an attitude of being embarrassed and showing weakness but secretly preserving his strength was clearly cultivated in Beijing, did she not forget it?
Thinking like this, he inadvertently asked like this, "Ah Yan, do you really remember the events when you were young?" β
Zhu Yan looked at him with a little vigilance, and then smiled bitterly, "I don't remember...... It's ......"

PS: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it" sentence: From the "Theory of Fortune" by Li Kang, a writer of the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms, it is a metaphor for people with outstanding talent or conduct who are prone to jealousy and accusation. Modern examples can be seen from the beginning and end of the Thallium poisoning case of Zhu Ling in Tsinghua University.
