Chapter 24: A Unique Secret
"I don't want to be like this, I don't want to be negative to a woman who follows me. I never wanted to! Wen Ningzhi's eyes stared at Leng Xiang, "It's just that you can't forget that incident!" And every time you mention it, it's just for me to go back to that day again. I can't stand this the most, you know! If you continue like this, it's hard to guarantee that you won't say anything. So you forced me, forced me not to keep you. When you're gone, Red Lotus won't come back. Ghosts, who only manipulate the weak! Keep exerting, even if you think of the occasional sweetness, it won't make him hesitate.
Leng Xiang kicked her feet weakly, but to no avail, and then her legs straightened. In the midst of extreme pain, she seemed to see Miss Huo standing in front of her, her face full of pity and cold spit.
She remembered that night in a trance, and the blood flowed all over the ground, all flowing out of the eldest lady's body. At that time, she thought, how much it hurts, if it were her, she would never be able to last that long. But today she knew that she was in more pain and lasted longer, because the desire to live was so strong; Because she experienced boundless remorse and despair; Because the one who wants to strangle her is the one she loves the most.
And what more painful than having someone to whom you give your whole heart and soul killing it with your own hands! This is Huo Honglian's pain, double the return!
In his ears, Wen Ning snorted, as if a man was in bliss. But at this time, accompanied by the fragmentation of the throat, a trace of dirty blood also flowed out from the seven orifices of the cold incense, hideous, disgusting!
"I know you'll do anything for me. Including death. I know. Therefore, I fulfill you. Wen Ningzhi murmured as if he was talking about love, slowly letting go of his hand, his body trembling like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
At 11 o'clock in the evening to 1 o'clock in the morning, it is also the third watch of drumming. During this period, the folk are also called ghosts and teeth.
But at this time, Leng Yu was curled up on the collapse outside, motionless as if dead. The ears, long and erect, listened to the movement inside. Bite your teeth tightly to prevent you from knocking up and down and making a sound.
She knew what was going on with Leng Xiang, but she didn't want to care and didn't dare to care. After doing that incident, Leng Xiang became the biggest danger, and after doing it, he was afraid, hesitating, repeating, who knows when there will be a leak, and when the time comes, it will be Hou Ye, it will be her!
There are certain roads that you can't turn back once you've set foot on them.
There is a way that people do not do it for themselves, and heaven and earth will perish. Even though she and Leng Xiang were in love with running away together to ask for food, they were also taken in by the eldest lady together, became the eldest girl together, and were taken as concubines by Wen Hou together. But in the end, it can't compare to the competition for interests.
Doing a good deed together will become allies. If you do an evil thing together and keep a secret that you can't see, you will become each other's enemies. Doing evil is like falling into a deep and boundless dark lake, and only by pressing others can you save yourself. It's just that what about the relationship between Hou Ye and her?
Thinking of this, Leng Yu couldn't help but shudder.
She didn't want to be the second Leng Xiang, and she couldn't leave the grave she had dug with her own hands. Therefore, she wants to make Hou Ye feel that she is not a threat, and she must become very important, not like a piece of rotten meat, which can be thrown into the stinky ditch casually. She had to do it! She must do it! And, do it as soon as possible!
Fortunately, now she is still useful, and she is still helping Hou Ye do something that no one can replace.
"Yu'er, are you asleep?" In the dimness, there was a warm condensing voice, as if it was ethereal in mid-air.
Leng Yu didn't want to make a sound, but there was a person standing in front of him, and there should have been a transmission of body temperature, but there was a chill instead. This made her suddenly realize one thing: it was murderous intent!
So don't make a fool of yourself, let Hou Ye suspect, it's more terrible than letting him target!
So she sat up slowly, half of her body was leaned on the edge of the collapse, hugging Wen Ningzhi's waist, "Master Hou is not sleeping, and the concubine dares to sleep?" ”
"Not afraid?"
"I'm afraid." Leng Yu softened his voice, "I'm afraid I can't share my worries for Master Hou." ”
"Not sad?"
"Sad. It's just that...... Hou Ye saved the second sister. She had demons in her heart and suffered a lot, so it was better to go and give birth early. Master Hou, you are the second sister of mercy...... Yes. At the end of the words, I felt Wen Ningzhi's hand reach to the back of her head, grab her thick long hair, and pull it hard.
Forced, she looked up. It's just that she knows that she must not show fear at this time, so she endured the pain of her scalp being pulled, her body was straight, her plump chest was close to Wen Ningzhi's lower abdomen, and she rubbed it immediately, her eyes were like silk, and her whole body was written with the intention of inviting joy.
In the back room, there is a dead man. But isn't this more exciting?
In order to maintain the image of a sanctimonious hypocrite, Wen Ningzhi has very few women around him. But in reality, he's a demon in the middle of a lust. And Leng Yu learned to see through men very early, and she can see the most evil meaning from the most righteous eyes, so she knows how to protect herself. Even if it's only temporary.
Sure enough, Wen Ningzhi's attitude softened, and he only snorted, and his reversal of right and wrong of Leng Yu seemed to be very useful.
Leng Yu hurriedly said, "The matter of the second sister, the concubine will handle it." In the future, the concubine will be the only one in the Hou Ye. As he spoke, he cried softly and weakly for a while, feeling that Wen Ningzhi was starting to be impatient, so he held back his tears in time.
Wen Ningzhi turned around and looked into the back room.
The lights were still flickering slightly, but there was a breath of death slowly soaked out. The ferocity in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he didn't want to stay here anymore.
"Follow me." He took a deep breath and walked back to the back room.
Leng Yu gritted his teeth and lowered his head to follow.
When she entered the house, she quickly glanced at it, and was about to bump into a pair of gray and protruding eyes, and she almost screamed in horror. Fortunately, she has always been ruthless, and she has seen too many miserable deaths when she was fleeing, so she was not so easily frightened. Even, she killed three people with her own hands.
Somehow, I suddenly remembered when I was a child. She was only eleven years old that year, and the Tatars had attacked the border towns, and her entire family was killed. Taking advantage of the firelight, she ran into the wilderness with the fleeing people before leaving her life. It was also at that time that she met Leng Xiang of the same age, and the two girls have been walking together since then.
But there are so many dangers on the road, Leng Xiang has always been a waste, and he has never done anything useful except for obeying her. Because of her beautiful appearance, when she encountered such an unbearable thing, Leng Xiang only hid in the grass and shivered, and never tried to save her.
Now that Leng Xiang is dead, that's retribution! She won't cry for Leng Xiang. Such a useless person is a waste of food to live.
It's poor for her, and she has to collect the body for Leng Xiang.
"Don't be stunned." Wen Ningzhi found a fine silk shawl, walked to the hall, bypassed the high bed, and tied a dead knot. The red shawl, like a bloodstain, poured down from top to bottom.
Leng Xiang shuddered, took a few breaths hard, and hurriedly ran behind the screen and soaked the cloth towel in the basin on the basin shelf.
The water was cold, so cold in this kind of weather that it even made her shiver.
But she didn't hesitate anymore, took a wet towel and wiped Leng Xiang's face clean. With the help of Wen Ningzhi, Leng Xiang changed her favorite set of clothes and re-combed her hair and makeup.
Maybe because of the dead man's gray atmosphere, Leng Xiang's face turned pale when it was powdered, lining the eyes with abnormal blackness, and the lips were abnormally red, looking fierce and weird. The worst thing is that she tried hard a few times, but Leng Xiang's eyes just couldn't close. And no matter from which angle you look at it, it's like staring straight at her, and you're really dead!
Her hairs stood on end, but her neck stiffened when she recalled what happened to her when she fled. They owe it to her! Everyone owes her!
So, she is not afraid!
After hanging up the cold incense, putting down the chair under her feet, blowing the lamp and closing the door, she left with Wen Ningzhi.
The people in the courtyard were asleep, and even the mother-in-law who guarded the door hid far away because she was afraid. This is good, the two of them left unconsciously and unconsciously and came to Tingtao Pavilion.
When Wen Ningzhi didn't live here, only an old slave named Jinbo was left in the courtyard to guard the door. This person is a mute, but his ear is very good, he is illiterate, he has been a slave in the Wen family for generations, he is absolutely loyal, and he does not talk much. How many private matters, this old dumb man may not be unaware. Even Wen Ningzhi's study, the little beans waiting for pen and ink can't go in and out casually, it's all Jinbo cleaning up.
At this time, the door was opened, not to mention the questioning eyes, even looking, as if Jinbo didn't seem to see anyone coming, he re-latched, leaned over, and went back to the cabin where he sat upside down, without making any sound.
Leng Yu was not surprised, and followed Wen Ningzhi into the house.
Tingfeng Pavilion is a two-storey small building, built in the highest place of the entire Hou Mansion, surrounded by countless small short pines, when there is wind, the pine wave array lineup, hence the name. It's a bit cold to stay here in winter. But in the summer, it's very pleasant.
However, Wen Ningzhi did not go up to the second floor, but entered the study on the first floor. Touching the darkness, only in the hazy moonlight, press the mechanism next to the heavy bookshelf. With a slight movement, the bookshelves staggered to the side. In the back, there is a secret room. Because this secret room is lit with a permanent lamp, as soon as the secret door is opened, a light shines through.
Wen Ningzhi flashed in, but the cold incense did not move.
She knew the rules that a dark room was never allowed to enter. She can come here with Wen Ningzhi, and she is already extremely trusted. Just because after a while, there are still things she needs to do. And when the secret door closed again, Leng Yu was engulfed by darkness again.
And Wen Ningzhi inside the door knelt down.
The space in the secret room was large, except for an offering table, two tablets, a futon, an everlasting lamp, and some incense and candles. But as soon as Wen Ningzhi's knees hit the ground, he suddenly cried and looked at the two tablets.
The big tablet has the words "Huo Honglian" written on it.
Small tablet, but no word.
Because of the emptiness, in such an environment, it seems a little blank and gloomy.
Wen Ningzhi cried for a while, slowly raised his hand, and pumped his mouth repeatedly. He didn't make a sound, he pumped more than a dozen times, and then he was silent, walked out of the secret room, and re-activated the mechanism to hide.
"Come on." He said in a muffled voice, stepping up to the bedroom on the second floor.
Leng Xiang carried the hem of her skirt and followed behind without saying a word. When he got to the second floor, he first helped Wen Ningzhi take off his robe and middle coat, and bare his back. took out the thing from the dark compartment of the cabinet again, and then helped Wen Ningzhi to the bedside.
It's also a secret. A unique secret between her and Hou Ye. It's the thing that no one can do for her.
