361: Lost
"If you want to leave a body behind, you can. ”
Nalan Jinxiu's expression was very calm, she thought that if he didn't let him go, she would tell him the truth, and if she couldn't kill him, she would commit suicide. Anyway, he still shows a look of regret for the past. Then let him regret it a little more.
"Heh, you're a fierce man, I'll let you go today. ”
As soon as Zong Xuanyi's words fell, Nalan Jinxiu left without hesitation for a moment. Looking at her back, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. He really has some expectations, how will Ji Hongye, who dotes on his wife like his life, react when he sees his wife like this.
Nalan Jinxiu was still very flustered when she sat in the carriage, and her face was particularly ugly. Mo Yan and Mo Yu were not outside the carriage this time, but stood by alone, not daring to look up at her expression.
Nalan Jinxiu looked at them looking down in obedience, but she also knew that they were secretly speculating about what had just happened. In fact, there is no need to observe much, with their ice and snow intelligence, they may have expected what happened a long time ago.
"I know that you are settled by the third brother, but you should know who your master is. Nalan Jinxiu barely cheered up and said to Mo Yan and Mo Yu.
Mo Yan Moyu listened to her words, raised his head to look at her, and said respectfully: "The slaves and maids are the maids of the lady, and they are both prosperous and lossy, and they are naturally oriented towards the lady." ”
Nalan Jinxiu doesn't trust them too much, because trust is not something that can be formed overnight. But she still needs their assurance, even if it is to ask for peace of mind: "Then you listen well, everything that happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion today can't say a word." ”
Mo Yan Mo Yu glanced at each other, hesitated and said, "If the third master asks, the slaves and maids don't dare to lie." ”
"If the third brother asks, you will say that you have been left in the outer courtyard and you don't know anything. ”
Nalan Jinxiu thought that the third brother was the secretary of the Criminal Department, and torture should be the best at extorting confessions. It is better to let them lie and say that they don't know, and the fewer they open, the less chance they will show their flaws.
Who knows, when she returned to Jinyuan, Ji Hongye was already waiting for her. As soon as she got out of the carriage, she felt that the atmosphere was abnormal, and the girls who were waiting in the yard were all driven outside, and they were all so condensed that they didn't dare to come out.
"Is the third master back?" "Usually, the third brother doesn't like the girl to serve in front of him, so as soon as he comes back, he will basically send it out.
"Yes. The little girl said respectfully: "The third master has been waiting for Mrs. for a long time. ”
Nalan Jinxiu had already sorted out her appearance before getting out of the car, and if she still couldn't hide it, there was no way to do it. She took a few deep breaths and said to Mo Yanmoyu, "You are all waiting outside, don't come in if I don't say hello." ”
Mo Yan Mo nodded yes.
Nalan Jinxiu entered the room and saw Ji Hongye sitting at the desk reading a book. But she knew that the third brother didn't look into it, because she stood there and watched him for a long time, and she didn't see him turn a page.
"Doesn't the third brother have to work today?" she walked up to him, her tone the same as usual.
"It's not much, it's done. He put the scroll down, looked at her, and said, "Where have you been?"
"Give a follow-up visit to a patient. ”
"Oh, which patient?"
Nalan Jinxiu's smile was obviously a little stiff, and she said casually: "The third brother doesn't know it." ”
"Since you are pregnant, in addition to Yuan Yuning, are there any patients?"
"I didn't eat well at breakfast, I'm going to be a little hungry. Nalan Jinxiu answered the question.
Ji Hongye didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, although his eyes were still very gentle, but they were more scrutinizing. Nalan Jinxiu was not used to him looking at her like this, so she had to soften her voice: "Third brother, let's pass the meal, okay?"
Ji Hongye's eyes became colder and calmer as he looked at her. Nalan Jinxiu was frightened by him for a while, and she didn't know if the third brother was blaming her for making her own decisions. She wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start.
"Third brother......" she called again.
This time, Ji Hongye didn't pretend not to hear it, he sighed, as if he had compromised: "Since you're hungry, let's pass the meal!"
Nalan Jinxiu let out a sigh of relief, turned around and went to greet people outside the door, the atmosphere just now really made her breathless. Lunch was still placed in the western room, and Ji Hongye still used to prepare vegetables for her as usual.
Nalan Jinxiu actually didn't have much appetite, she had just experienced emotional ups and downs, and she was just forcing herself to eat. Her sideburns were a little messy, Ji Hongye started to tidy her up, and suddenly his arms stiffened, and his fingertips slid across her neck.
The familiar touch fell on Nalan Jinxiu's skin, and she turned her head to look at Ji Hongye in confusion, seeing that his eyes were like a frozen three-foot lake, calm and cold, which made people daunted. She suddenly remembered what Zong Xuanyi had left on it, and her body suddenly became stiff, and she didn't dare to move.
The air seemed to be stagnant, and Nalan Jinxiu didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere. Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know how to explain. In fact, the people of the Ning Dynasty are strict, and if something like this happens to a woman, whether she is willing or not, she will be punished very heavily. There's no way to explain it.
"Where the hell have you been?" Ji Hongye's voice was cold.
"I ......"
"Are you still going to say that you went to see a doctor now?" Ji Hongye's voice was obviously not so steady.
"No, third brother, listen to me. ”
"Good. Ji Hongye withdrew the hand that was placed on her neck, obviously suppressing his anger, and every word he spit out was heavy: "You explain it to me well." ”
"I just went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and met Zong Xuanyi. ”
Ji Hongye's face was even more ugly, he didn't say a word, just stared at her with a pair of sharp eyes. There was no usual softness in his eyes, as if he was going to eat her alive.
"I treated him for a head illness, and when you had an accident with Yu Liang, I concluded that he was responsible. So ......"
"So you made a deal with him, and he let me go, and you healed him. Yes and no?"
"Yes. ”
"Since it's a cure, what's the matter with that thing on your neck?" Ji Hongye covered his hand with his sleeve, because he noticed that his hand was shaking, and if he could, he really wanted to dig that mark off.
His tone was cold and questioning, as if she had an affair with someone and was caught by him. Nalan Jinxiu didn't like this feeling very much, but she could only bear it silently. She knew that if she made a mistake now, it would probably be doomed.
"He's determined to kill you, and his headache, as long as I don't make a move, will kill him sooner or later. So the process of trading was not pleasant, and he hated me in his heart, so he did it on purpose, just to provoke you and make you treat me harshly. ”
"I always thought you were a smart person, who is Zong Xuanyi, what is Xiangguo Mansion, and where can you go!" Ji Hongye's voice was obviously a few degrees higher, except for anger, depression and questioning, the rest was thick disappointment.
"Of course I know!" Nalan Jinxiu was obviously excited, she didn't want to show weakness at this time, so she raised her chin and said slowly: "But what can I do? I can't let you have an accident!"
What kind of person is Ji Hongye, although his background is not high, but he is an out-and-out proud son. He couldn't afford to lose, and he just used his wife's self-esteem and risk-taking in exchange for this result that he couldn't accept.
There seemed to be a fire burning in his chest, and he wanted to vent it in some way, but he still had to suppress it. He was really afraid of scaring her, and he was afraid of breaking her heart. So the heart-piercing pain was replaced by his own muffled voice.
Nalan Jinxiu thought that he would reprimand her and tell her that the woman should stay in the back house and not get involved in the affairs of the court. She was ready, thinking that if only she could make him breathe.
Who knew that she found that Ji Hongye's face turned pale in an instant, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, which was obviously uncomfortable. She didn't expect him to be so angry, she suddenly panicked, stood up and walked to his side, and said in an anxious tone: "Third brother, what's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable?"
"Don't come here!" Ji Hongye felt that he was really getting more and more useless, when did he become so uncontrollable in his emotions? What he wanted to do most now was to make that mark disappear. Ah Jin is the wife he is marrying back from Ming Media, how can he tolerate others touching her?
Nalan Jinxiu was yelled at by him and froze in place, in her impression, the third brother had never spoken to her like this, and she couldn't accept it for a while. But what if you don't accept her?
The third brother didn't let her speak, didn't let her get close to him. She can't argue with him, she can't reason with him, she can't even talk to him about feelings. Speaking of which, she is just an orphan girl, with no relatives in the world and no one to rely on. The only person she could rely on was now disgusted with her.
She poked in place in embarrassment, unable to enter or retreat. She found that she could do nothing but bear his anger and accusations. This realization couldn't help but remind her of her previous life, even if God had mercy on her and let her live again, she was still a weak person and couldn't change her situation.
"I still have business to deal with, I may not come back tonight, don't wait for me. Ji Hongye stood up and didn't even look at her.
He had never been so cold and distant from her. Nalan Jinxiu looked at him and saw that his face was very depressed and tired. He was such a proud person, did she break his pride and make him feel ashamed?
She couldn't help but have a sour nose, her heart was also a cold pain, she found that she really couldn't stand his indifference and alienation, "Third brother, can we make it clear? ”
She took a few steps forward and held his hand tightly, she thought, she would be cheeky for once. She had a bad feeling in her heart, as if she was going to lose him this time when he was gone.
