Chapter 34: This is the Cage

An hour passed, the cold invaded the bone marrow, Song Lingyue, who had seen a good body, began to cough again, and the messengers who came and went around pretended to turn a blind eye, Chun Tao came once, but she didn't dare to step forward, let alone send her clothes, she glanced at it from a distance, and went to the backyard.

A pair of large leather boots came into view, and a man's deep voice sounded overhead, it was a summer night.

"Do you have to be honest like this? I'm giving you a hint in the hall, don't you see? ”

"I saw it, I just didn't expect that in this era, there is such a pedantic penal system, and the lintel of our Song family naturally can't get into the eyes of the Xia family, and I'm not suitable here."

Xia Yeqing's expensive leather boots paced two steps in her sight, and her tone became gentle, "Is this the eldest lady of the Song family who wants to support the family business?" I can't stand this little grievance, where did you have the courage to fight against those people in Yanchun Pavilion? If you have to retreat at the slightest difficulty, count me wrong. ”

Song Lingyue was a little impatient, "You don't have to use the agitation method on me, it doesn't work for me, it was the beginning, and now it's now, I don't want to back down, I just think it's meaningless, I don't understand, what are you trying to leave me for?" ”

Xia Yeqing stopped, he couldn't tell the truth, and muttered: "You are the daughter of my father's old friend, and now that you are in trouble, the Xia family naturally wants to help, the Xia family has a head and face, and will not ignore it and let you live on the streets." ”

Song Lingyue let out a disdainful snort in her nose, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her words, "Heh, I finally understand, this is what people with a face do, bullying behind closed doors is better than beating a water dog on the street, right?" ”

The muscles of Xia Yeqingjun's face twitched a few times, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Whatever you think, I just want to tell you that in the Xia family, blind stubbornness will only bring more suffering, and the idea of leaving, it's best to strangle me in your brain, and then dare to argue with the old lady, it's not as simple as kneeling in the snow." ”

Song Lingyue just doesn't like the cold and pedantic Xia family, she just doesn't like the cold and cold, Xia Yeqing who speaks in a commanding tone in everything, it's a big deal that she pays back the money, is it necessary to humiliate like this? The anger in his stomach was angered by his last sentence.

"You don't talk about it, what did I do wrong? I just don't want my eldest lady to be locked in the house all day, I just want her to calm down and make her comfortable, woo......"

Song Lingyue said and spoke, tears fell involuntarily, and she couldn't stop it, wiped her tears with one hand, lowered her head and choked up: "I don't know, maybe I found my own shadow in her, locked up in this so-called big family, people come and go, but there is no human touch, this is not home, this is a cage." ”

A complicated look flashed in Xia Yeqing's eyes, and he didn't make a sound for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Song Lingyue couldn't see his expression, but she always felt that he was looking at her with disdain, she tried her best to suppress her crying, she didn't want to shed tears, her thin shoulders twitched one by one, like a poor puppy being bullied.

"You're really, too stubborn!" Xia Yeqing sighed and turned to the main hall.

The people around walked away, Song Lingyue couldn't control her emotions anymore, she knelt in the snow, crying bitterly, what if she left Yanchun Pavilion, it was just from one cage to another, there was no difference.

Song Lingyue couldn't breathe when she cried, took a breath of cool air, coughed suddenly, her eyes went dark, and she fainted.

Xia Yeqing came out of the main hall, and saw Song Lingyuewo lying in the snow, shouted at her, but did not react, strode over, bent down and picked her up, through the thick clothes, she could feel the heat on her body, and her face was flushed with strange flushes, and she didn't care about listening to the different eyes, and picked her up and went back to the east courtyard.

Song Lingyue kept having nightmares, like falling into an ice cave, her whole body hurt badly, but she couldn't wake up, she sometimes thought, maybe the torture of these days has sharpened her into a hedgehog, full of thorns, look at everyone is full of hostility, if she changes her temperament, will the situation be better.

The dream was noisy, it seemed like there were a lot of people like everyone else, muddy, everything was unreal.

I don't know how long it took before the surroundings quieted down, Song Lingyue felt that the chill on her body disappeared, and gradually warmth came, and the pain in her body decreased a lot.

As soon as the forehead was hot, it seemed that something was pasted, sticky and uncomfortable, Song Lingyue struggled for a while, trying to get the things off her head, and her arm moved and woke up.

The sun is shining very well, shining into the house through the gauze curtain, looking at the heart is warm, Chun Tao is cleaning up the vase, hearing the movement, hurriedly put down the vase and entered the room, seeing that Song Lingyue was about to remove the veil on her forehead, and pressed her in the past.

"Miss Song, your fever has finally subsided, and the doctor is afraid of repeating, so he asked you to apply a handkerchief until the fever is completely gone."

Song Lingyue's eyes shook, and as soon as she spoke, her voice became hoarse, "Why is it sunny?" ”

Chun Tao smiled helplessly, "Miss Song, you have been burning for three days, and you are all burned in a daze, this is already the fourth morning." ”

"What?" Song Lingyue was surprised, sat up, and the towel on her forehead also fell, "It's the fourth day." As he spoke, he coughed a few more times.

Chun Tao poured her a glass of water, reached out to beat her back, and said with a smile: "But no, the doctor said that your illness was not cured, you stayed in the snow for so long, and you suffered from the cold, and the illness worsened, the doctor gave two injections in succession, and poured medicine, if it was later, the brain would burn out." ”

Song Lingyue listened to her funny, and laughed a few times, Chun Tao has also been familiar with her in the past few days, knowing that she is strong on the outside, and she is still a gentle little girl in her heart, and she is not so restrained as she was at the beginning, when she heard her laugh, she couldn't help but pat her, and asked funny: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Song Lingyue said stupidly: "I'm wondering, if my brain burns stupidly, will it be easier to live." ”

Chun Tao scolded her, "Don't talk nonsense, don't you know, it was the uncle who brought you back that day, along the way, the errand watched, I don't know how much gossip there is behind my back, and you still have the heart to laugh." ”

Song Lingyue really didn't smile anymore, and asked nervously: "I fainted that day, and the uncle carried me back, is there any problem?" ”

Chun Tao's lips moved, and she looked at Song Lingyue, who wanted to speak and stopped, Song Lingyue felt strange in her heart, didn't she just come back with a fainted person, wouldn't this be okay?

"What the hell is going on? You speak! I'm nervous if I don't speak. ”

Chun Tao pouted, "You are still nervous, that day in the main hall, you still dared to argue with the old lady, but it scared us to death, fortunately the old lady did not blame the uncle." ”

Song Lingyue was even more puzzled, "I offended the old lady, what does it have to do with your uncle?" ”

Chun Tao sighed, and said slowly: "Don't you know, before the uncle got married, his behavior was very absurd, and the famous courtesans in Kyoto all had dealings with him, and they were unruly, *, the old lady did not change how many times he was taught, and then he was sent out of the country, and after he came back, he married his wife, and became the chief of customs, and his temperament was restrained." ”

Song Lingyue didn't expect him to have such a past, she really underestimated him, and became more and more interested in this cold person in her heart, and said curiously: "He was born in such a family, and the rules are so strict, it shouldn't be so ridiculous!" ”

"Ahem! Don't you know, I heard that when the uncle was a child, the eldest lord was very strict with him, and then the eldest lord passed away, and the eldest wife went crazy again, and the uncle didn't know if he was stimulated, he started fighting at school at the age of seven or eight, and when he was fourteen years old, he was sent to the military academy, honed for a few years, caused a lot of trouble, and did a lot of ridiculous things. ”

Song Lingyue nodded as if she didn't understand, looking at Xia Yeqing's cold, serious appearance on weekdays, I really can't imagine what he looks like when he is romantic, and the old lady of the Xia family, who is so serious on weekdays, but the most important grandson is absurd and uninhibited, and when he is disciplined, maybe it will be very interesting.
