Chapter Eighty-Four: The Former Feud
"Are you the young master of the Weiguo Mansion?"
"Hmm."
"What's your name?"
"Guarding."
"What were you doing in the yard?"
"Snow viewing."
Wei Xing walked in front, An Ruolan grabbed his sleeve, half a step behind behind, and the two of them answered one by one, moving forward in the gradually smaller wind and snow.
Although Wei Xing's answers were concise and a little indifferent, An Ruolan cherished the time she spent alone with him.
Sensing his faint glance sweeping the veil on his face, An Ruolan subconsciously brushed the broken hair around his ears and explained, "My face is injured, and it doesn't look good." ”
Somewhat surprised by her sharpness, Wei Xing was stunned, responded softly, paused, and said, "It's good." ”
"Hee-hee." An Ruolan bent her eyebrows and smiled.
She liked his unnatural comfort, knowing that he was a man of few words.
After that, neither of them spoke again, although there was some regret, An Ruolan also enjoyed the silence when she was with him.
However, such a good time is short-lived after all.
After walking a little way, and turning the cloister, they met a girl of eight or nine years old with a maid, who was in a hurry, as if she was in a hurry.
"Cousin!" The girl called happily, sped up her pace and ran towards her, when she saw An Ruolan pulling the sleeves of the guard, she frowned slightly, and then said to the guard casually: "Cousin, why are you here!" I've been looking for you for a long time! ”
The girl's voice was soft and sweet, but the cousin. But it made An Ruolan like a lightning strike.
An Ruolan frowned and looked at the girl in front of her, with apricot eyes, cherry lips and goose egg face, looking sweet and delicate. With just one glance, she recognized that this was Qin Yiqing, the cousin of Wei Xing.
Her pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of vigilance and anger flashed in her eyes very quickly.
In her previous life, she did a lot of stupid things that she regretted not being able to forgive, and if she couldn't forgive herself the most, it was probably to stuff Qin Yiqing, a woman who had been eyeing Wei Xing, into the backyard of Wei Xing.
In her previous life, she was full of prejudice against the guard. Even if he has married into the Weiguo Mansion, he still doesn't want to admit that he is his husband, and he speaks coldly to him every day. I just hope that one day he can't stand to be reconciled with himself. However, Wei Xing never became angry with her because of this, but redoubled his kindness to her.
He sent her the best qiē he could get, but never asked her for any response until she tried to distract him. kept taking concubines for him. He finally changed his face.
Qin Yiqing was her first concubine to accept for Wei Xing.
This woman, who grew up with Wei Xing, confided in her love for Wei Xing, so she stuffed her into Wei Xing's room without authorization with the purpose of fulfilling her and using her to stumble Wei Xing.
That time, Wei Xing, who was always silent and calm, was furious for the first time, and he kicked Qin Yiqing out of the room, and then did not appear in front of her for three whole days. And she pathologically found the thrill of revenge in it, ever since. She began to send all kinds of women to him again and again. Then watch him get angry, watch him lose and sad.
It's just that none of those women have been touched by the guards.
Later, the guard no longer came to her room often, and when he came, he would not touch her again, and she no longer looked for a concubine for him, they were like strangers living under the same roof, with different hearts, but different dreams in the same bed.
Until that catastrophe struck, he pushed her out of the Weiguo Mansion, leaving her a glimmer of life.
These memories, which had been slowly forgotten, came back to life the moment she saw Qin Yiqing, and they became extremely clear, deeply stimulating the softest part of her heart, making her both sweet and annoyed, regretful and happy.
She couldn't help but ask herself, how hard-hearted she was in her previous life, why did she not even feel a trace of emotion in the face of the punishment without impurities and wholeheartedly? Is it just because my mother doesn't like Wei Xing's son-in-law?
She can't tell it now, she only knows that she died innocently in her previous life, and she deserved it even if she went to the eighteenth layer of hell. is that in this life, even if she is a cow and a horse, she has to repay the deep affection of the guard.
Snorting and holding back the surging tears, she looked coldly at the girl Qin Yiqing in front of her.
From Qin Yiqing's eyes, she saw the feelings she was familiar with in her previous life, it seems that Qin Yiqing did not lie to her, she has indeed been in love with Wei Xing since she was a child.
So what?
She knew that Wei Xing had never been tempted by Qin Yiqing.
This time, she won't be stupid enough to give up the guard punishment to anyone again!
The eyes soaked in tears became more and more bright, and An Ruolan hid an unshakable determination in his eyes.
Qin Yiqing explained her intention to the guard, and at the same time secretly looked at the girl standing next to her cousin, because she was wearing a veil, she couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly, but her dark and bright, confident eyes made her dislike it from the bottom of her heart. Retracting her gaze, she said anxiously: "Shao'er doesn't know where to hide, I haven't found it for a long time, my aunt will be waiting to take her to meet the guests, cousin, help me find it!" ”
Shao'er?
Hearing this, An Ruolan raised her eyebrows slightly, she knew that Qin Yiqing was talking about Wei Shao, Wei Xing's own sister. No wonder she didn't see Wei Shao in the inner hall just now, it turned out that she was also hiding.
I have to say that in some ways, the two brothers and sisters are really similar. However, Wei Xing likes to be quiet, so he will avoid it, while Wei Shao is too lively and does not like to be restrained.
was just distracted for a while, and when An Ruolan came back to her senses, she saw Wei Xing nodding in response to Qin Yiqing's request, and she couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the sleeve of Wei Xing's shirt.
Sensing her uneasiness, Wei Xing paused, and said to Qin Yiqing: "This young lady is here as a guest, and she accidentally got lost in the mansion, so you can take her back to the banquet room." ”
"Lost?" Qin Yiqing looked at An Ruolan suspiciously, and said, "I heard that Miss Cousin on Zhou Shangshu's Mansion was lost, is that you?" ”
An Ruolan nodded indifferently.
"It turns out that you are lost, Mrs. Zhou is in a hurry to find you. I'll take you back. Pulling out what he thought was a gentle and kind smile, Qin Yiqing stretched out his hand towards her.
An Ruolan pulled the sleeve of the guard's coat and ignored Qin Yiqing's outstretched hand.
Looked at. A touch of displeasure flashed in Qin Yiqing's eyes, and then he quickly covered it up, still smiling gently and harmlessly.
Wei Xing lowered his eyes and looked at the girl who was holding him, and saw that her eyes were tenacious, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
Seeing the veil on her face again, I thought that she should be a person who pays great attention to appearance, so I pursed the corners of my lips. Raising his eyes to Qin Yiqing, he said, "She is injured, you take her to freshen up first, and then ask the doctor to take a look." So as not to worry Mrs. Zhou when she sees it. ”
"Yes, cousin." Qin Yiqing responded with a smile, secretly tightened his handkerchief, turned his head and instructed the maid behind him to ask for a doctor.
The guards didn't notice anything unusual about her. Faint bow. hesitated for a while. He still pulled out the sleeve that An Ruolan was holding, and said softly: "This is my cousin, you follow her, she will take you back to your relatives." ”
With that, he nodded and turned to leave.
An Ruolan clenched his five fingers that had lost his temperature, and could only watch as his high-tied hair swayed gently, and his back in a mink collar disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"Humph!" A cold snort sounded in his ears. An Ruolan turned his head and looked indifferently at Qin Yiqing, whose expression became cold and contemptuous.
"Let's go." Pouted disdainfully. Qin Yiqing turned around arrogantly and led the way in front.
Without the slightest hesitation, An Ruolan raised her steps to follow.
Although his attitude was a little contemptuous, Qin Yiqing did not deliberately embarrass An Ruolan.
After taking people to a side room, Qin Yiqing instructed the maid to freshen up and dress An Ruolan, and found a clean dress for An Ruolan to change, and then let the doctor take a look, and after giving some medicine, she took An Ruolan back to the inner hall of the banquet room.
Meng Yuqing's mother and daughter, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, saw An Ruolan safe and sound, and their hearts fell to the ground instantly.
After learning that An Ruolan was missing, Meng Yuqing had been restless, but it was inconvenient for her to go out to find someone, so she had to be anxious in the inner hall, fortunately, people were safe, otherwise she really didn't know how to explain.
Carrying the person into her arms, Meng Yuqing rubbed and rubbed it for a while before deliberately sinking her face and reprimanding: "You are so bold that you dare to run around in such a big mansion, this will cause trouble, who will dare to take you out in the future!" ”
An Ruolan knew that she was not really angry, but worried, so she hurriedly hugged her hand and admitted her mistake: "I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again." ”
"Okay, the little girl didn't mean it, don't be angry, fortunately, it's safe." Duchess Wei Guo smiled heartily and persuaded on the side. When she heard that a child was lost, she was really shocked, and immediately sent the people who could be drawn from the house to find it, but fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise they would be unable to escape the blame for defending the country.
The ladies at the same table also followed the persuasion, saying that it was okay.
Meng Yuqing also thought that the matter was not too big, only a few ladies at the same table knew, so she softened her face, glanced at An Ruolan in her arms, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and sit down." ”
An Ruolan grinned and immediately obediently returned to his seat and sat down.
Inevitably, he was taught a lesson by Zhou Mi'er's ears again.
Duchess Wei Guo came to this table to accompany her because she was worried that An Ruolan would be lost, and now that she was found, she returned to the main table and continued to entertain guests.
An Ruolan sat down and looked around, but found that there was an extra face next to her second aunt, which she hadn't seen before she went out.
Strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as a raw face, because the person looks six points similar to her mother, but there is a little less tenderness between the eyebrows and eyes, and a little more cold and tenacious.
Almost immediately, An Ruolan guessed the identity of this person.
Zhou Mi'er saw her staring at the man, her eyes flashed slightly, and she secretly bumped her arm, and said in a low voice: "This is Aunt Jiu, you shouldn't remember, right?" I remember you only met Aunt Nine once when you were two or three years old. ”
An Ruolan nodded in a trance, and her mind was chaotic for some reason. (To be continued......)
