"Do you know the truth? I almost couldn't help but say it! Zhao Ying looked at Shangguan Ting, her expression was a little excited, and after she finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief gently: "It's really uncomfortable to keep this secret." It was so torturous in my heart. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to stand it one day. ”

Shangguan Ting's eyes widened: "Don't say it!" You have to remember that if the Qin family knows that your sister is still alive, they will definitely come to her. When the time comes, your brother-in-law's affairs will definitely leak out. Do you want your sister to be in pain? ”

When Zhao Ying heard this, her face changed, she frowned, and said seriously: "Yes, I can't say it." When I think of what my sister looked like after Feng's death, I can't bear it. Can't let my sister suffer again. ”

"That's right. So, you have to hold back. I can't even say that I was killed. ”

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my mouth shut. As soon as I think of hiding something from Youning, I always feel as if I have committed a heinous crime. I was really close to blurting it out. ”

Shangguan Ting refilled her with a cup of coffee and said, "When didn't you say that?" Didn't you hold back after the end? I understand your feelings, but you're also doing this for your sister. Didn't my uncle and aunt say the same thing? I think even if Brother Youning knows the Tao in the future, he will be able to forgive you. ”

"If only it could be like that."

"Yes." Shangguan Ting held her hand comfortingly.

Zhao Ying frowned, turned her head to look at the street scene outside the window, the weather in the middle of winter was very cold, and the men, women and children on the street were all tightly wrapped, shrinking their bodies, walking fast, as if they wanted to escape the cold as soon as possible. However, no matter where you flee, you can't escape. After all, it's the middle of winter.

She suddenly remembered Zhao Ji, she hadn't seen her for a few days, I don't know how Sister Lu Dao is doing recently?

"Sister Baocui, the young marshal is here!"

A tall man walked in from outside, unbuttoned his velvet coat and threw it into the hands of the little girl who opened the door, and then walked upstairs with heavy military shoes clattering. Bao Cui listened to the little girl's voice, and as soon as she walked to the staircase, she had already seen each other. Busy respectfully greeted: "Young marshal." ”

"How is she?"

"It's fine. The doctor just came to see me. The weather was too cold these days, and the young lady was too weak to tolerate the cold, so she fell ill. Much better than yesterday. Bao Cui responded and followed him to Zhao Ji's bedroom.

It was a very warm-looking room, with warm yellow walls, bookcases, desks, and a bed. The bed was made of golden iron frame, with a soft mattress underneath, and a beige sheet, and a pink quilt with delicate embroidery. Next to the bed is a bedside table with medicines. There is also a swing chair by the window, white, covered with a velvet blanket, and the swing rack is braided with decorative flowers and plants.

Zhao Ji was lying on the bed, the quilt covered her entire body impenetrable, revealing only a pale and emaciated face. His brow furrowed slightly, and he looked half-asleep.

Bao Cui walked over to the bed and patted her. Zhao Ji opened his eyes and looked at Bao Cui's mouth: Miss, the young marshal is here.

She looked in the direction pointed by Baocui's hand, and saw Zhang Yifeng, dressed in military uniform, standing next to her bed. She looked mentally tired and moved to sit up. Zhang Yifeng saw it, walked over in a few steps, reached out and pressed her shoulder, and said, "You are uncomfortable." Just lie down. ”

She looked at the shape of his mouth and read his words. didn't insist, and lay down according to the words.

In two years, Zhao Ji slowly adapted to the world without sound, and in order to facilitate communication with others, he also learned lip language as quickly as possible. As long as she sees the shape of other people's mouths, most of them can read other people's words. Therefore, in the eyes of the uninformed, she is no different from a normal person.

Zhao Ji stretched out his finger and pointed to the closed window, and said to Baocui: "Open the window, it will be breathable and brighter." ”

"Miss, the doctor has instructed you not to get cold anymore."

"You have to ventilate it, too."

Zhang Yifeng saw that she insisted on opening the window, so he instructed Baocui: "Open it for a while." ”

Treasure did what she said.

Zhao Ji watched Baocui go to open the window, and suddenly smiled, she looked at Zhang Yifeng: "This girl has been listening to you more and more recently." She didn't listen to me. ”

Zhang Yifeng likes to see her smile the most, every time she smiles, his whole mood improves. However, he could see that there was always a bit of melancholy in her smile. Or is it still for the injury from two years ago?

He reached over and probed her forehead, and after a while, withdrew his hand: "The fever has subsided." It seems that the newly hired personal doctor is not bad. ”

She looked at him in a daze, and the gentle eyes of concern made her want to avoid them. She smiled: "Aren't you going to drill the army today?" How do you have time to come here? ”

Zhang Yifeng smiled and did not answer her. He pulled an invitation out of his coat pocket and handed it to her.

Zhao Ji took it suspiciously, opened it and looked at it, stunned. It was a ball, and it seemed that it was attended by either military and political celebrities or famous capitalists. Did he want her to join him?

Just thinking about it, Bao Cui suddenly patted her on the shoulder, came back to her senses, and found that Zhang Yifeng had already walked to the door, he looked at her, and said, "The time is in three days, and I will have someone pick you up at that time." ”

After saying this, before Zhao Ji could say anything, the person left on his own. Zhao Ji sat up, just wanted to tell him to wait, but it was too late. I could only watch him leave.

Bao Tri's hand shook in front of her eyes, and she looked at Bao Cui and saw Bao Cui's mouth shape saying, "Miss, will you go?" ”

Will it go?

Zhao Ji also hesitated in his heart. Speaking of which, this is not the first time Zhang Yifeng has invited her to accompany him to a similar occasion. Each time she refused. Come to think of it, he has been taking care of himself for the past two years, so he can't not help with this little favor, right? But, once agreed, it was the same as agreeing to him—the secret they both knew.

It is clearly a secret that cannot be called a secret.

Even Bao Cui can see the secret—"Miss, don't you think about it?" ”

"What to consider? Youchen has always been here. She touched her heart and said. Although I wanted to help, I couldn't help with such help.

Bao Cui was stunned and smiled. Anyway, at least for now, Miss is fine. She was alive, and peacefully. It's not the young lady who died for the death of her first love. Although the uncle he, he ...... It's long gone.

Thinking of this, Bao Cui's eyes were full of pity and worry when she looked at Zhao Ji.

I can't let the young lady know about this. This secret must be kept by everyone to death.
