She stared at Cao Shi in horror, and stood at a loss.

Cao's face was painful and frightened, as if she had seen some terrible picture, she tugged at her hair bun, slapped her head vigorously, and cried, "Cen Sheng... Cen Sheng! You don't want to make a move on Cen Xian! Livestock, livestock! ”

Cen Sheng? Who is this?

Jiang Chengjia furrowed her eyebrows, and wanted to get closer to her, but Biyun stopped her.

She turned her head to look at her, and saw Aunt Biyun shaking her head at her and whispering, "Madame is like this, even if Sun Qi is called, he can't be cured, and he can only dismiss everyone." The young lady still went out first, and the old slave had a way to deal with this phenomenon all year round. ”

Jiang Chengjia looked back at the door and found that several people had been attracted one after another in front of the wing, probing their brains in front of the door. She thought Bi Yun was reasonable, so she nodded and quietly retreated from the room.

She dismissed all the people in front of the door and took Qianshan back to the wing room where she lived a few days ago.

As soon as she entered the door, Qian Shan asked Jiang Chengjia curiously, "Girl, who is this Cen Sheng?" ”

"Probably my mother's deceased." Jiang Chengjia pondered with deep eyes, his eyes flickering uncertainly. She was also curious, who is this Cen Sheng? Could it be that there are other hidden secrets between Cao Xiu and Ning Zheng besides that shameful and unspeakable memory?

She knew that Cao Xiu was so crazy at this moment, it was entirely because at noon, such a chaotic picture stimulated her, and made her recall the unbearable and painful past to be so crazy.

Seventeen years ago, Cao Xiu married into the palace of King Huai for seven years. At that time, it coincided with Ning Nan's seventh birthday, but Ning Zheng, the king of Huai, did a heinous evil thing on this day.

He sent more than a dozen strong men to surround Cao Xiu and openly insult and destroy his innocence. Cao Xiu was defiled by several people, almost died in Huangquan, and has been insane and insane for seven years since then. This matter is a scandal, Ning Zheng naturally will not reveal half of the news, so he killed all the people who knew about it at that time, except for Ning Nan, who saw his mother being defiled and did not want to live, the rest of the people who witnessed it all died.

Very few old people in the Huaiwang Mansion know about this matter, and others don't know about it.

Jiang Chengyi lived in the barbarian land with an old man from the Huai Wangfu twelve years ago, and the two depended on each other for their lives, and almost died in the grassland and died in the belly of an eagle.

This fateful friendship made Jiang Chengyi come up with a lot of old things about the Huai Wangfu from this person's mouth.

One of them is Cao Xiu's humiliation.

Back then, when she heard such news from her brother's mouth, she was also very distressed. She knew what kind of girl Cao Xiu was in the past, and she was ruined by Ning Zheng in this way.

She hesitated in the room for a moment, and finally decided to go to the Taishou Mansion to find Ning Nan to come back, Cao Xiu's suffering, only he, as a son, understands. She rushed out of the wing, and before she reached the gate of the post house, she saw that Ning Nanwu had hurried towards Cao's residence.

She looked at the group of people who rushed in surprise, and then saw Aunt Biyun following behind, and understood the reason.

Ning Nan pushed open Cao's door, only to see Mrs. Cao slamming her head against the hardboard of the wooden couch, her face full of tears and her hair scattered.

He felt a pain in his heart, stepped to Cao's side in two or three steps, and called out in a lost voice, "Mother! Mother! Here comes the son. Mother is me, and I am Zhao'er. ”

Cao, who was in a state of madness and obsession, seemed to hear this call, and raised his eyes to look at him with red eyes. Looking at his eyebrows that were very similar to the man, she closed her eyes in pain and muttered, "Cen Sheng... I'm the one who bears you. It's me who hurt you. ”

Ning Nan trembled slightly, hugged Cao Shi into his arms, patted her back gently, frowned tightly, couldn't bear the sourness in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Mother, don't worry, your son has always been by your side." ”

Cao Shi sobbed, leaning into his arms and sobbing, trembling all over. She was sometimes awake and sometimes chaotic, and there was always a figure in her mind that fell down covered in blood in front of her, and she seemed to be stimulated by such a situation, and pushed Ning Nanwu away, slammed his shoulders hard, and screamed, "It's all because of you!" Because of you! Get lost! Ning Zheng! Get lost!! ”

Ning Nan was silent and took Cao's fist, and his face became more and more pale.

Mrs. Cao finally choked on crying, and intermittently, her physical strength could not hold on, and she fainted on the ground.

Ning Nan was shocked, and immediately squatted down to hold her into his arms, calling again and again, "Mother... Mother! ”

Cao's face was tired, and he closed his eyes tightly. He picked up Cao Xiu anxiously, carefully put him on the bed, and then called Sun Qi outward. Sun Qi and Biyun, who had been waiting outside, heard the call from inside, so they immediately pushed the door and walked in.

Outside the courtyard, Jiang Chengjia, who was waiting in the courtyard with a group of black-pressed maids, was difficult to calm down. She never imagined that Mrs. Cao's illness would reach such a point. Looking at Bi Yun's calm expression today, she knew that over the years, the Cao family had often gone crazy.

After Sun Qi entered the wing, there was no movement inside. Ji Xianzhi waited outside with Jiang Chengjia, and when it was completely dark, he dismissed all the servants, and when he turned around, he saw that Jiang Chengjia still had no intention of going back, so he stepped forward and asked slowly, "Young lady, do you want to go back first?" I'm afraid the lord needs to accompany him tonight. ”

"It's okay, I'll just wait outside, you don't have to pay attention to me." Jiang Chengjia shook his head, staring at the candlelight burning in the room with a pair of dark eyes, his face was gloomy and worried.

Ji Xianzhi saw that she had been paying attention to the movements in Mrs. Cao's room, and she didn't say much, so she could only wait with her outside. I don't know how long later, Bi Yun quietly walked out of the room, thinking of saying a few words to Ji Xianzhi, but she was a little surprised to find that Jiang Chengjia was still waiting in front of the door, so she slowly stepped forward and asked, "Why is the young lady still here?" ”

Jiang Chengjia ignored her inquiry, and instead asked rhetorically, "How is Mother?" Her face was full of anxiety, eager to know what was going on inside.

Bi Yun bowed slightly, lowered her voice and said, "Doctor Sun ordered to administer needles for her, and Mrs. is already asleep at the moment." The Hou Ye is with him in the house, so don't worry about the young lady, it's not early, so go back early to rest. ”

Ji Xianzhi responded on the side, Jiang Chengjia glanced inside again, and Ning Nan's vague figure was reflected in the paper window. Her heart trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes, extremely lost.

She thought that he must be very sad at this time.

But when Hou was outside, she couldn't do anything, couldn't comfort him, couldn't soothe the panic and helplessness in his heart. can't give him the warmth he hasn't received in his life.

She sighed lowly, hiding her lonely expression in the night, and said softly, "It's okay." My aunt takes good care of my mother, and if the marquis can't hold on, please ask my aunt to call me to come to the vigil. ”

Bi Yun bowed down again, nodded in response, "Don't worry, young lady, the slave knows." ”

Jiang Chengjia nodded, turned around and left the front yard with Qianshan, and returned to the wing.

Qianshan served Jiang Chengjia to wash up and fall asleep, and then retreated.

Jiang Chengjia reclined on the couch, tossing and turning, in a daze, she noticed that someone pushed the door and walked in, and gently took down the futon placed beside her, and the sound of making the bed came to her ears. woke up Jiang Chengjia, who was already sleepless.

She turned around and saw through the gauze tent that Ning Nan's broad and deep back was kneeling on the ground and busy.

A layer of mist gradually floated in Jiang Chengjia's eyes, which gradually condensed into a tear, rolled down, and she called in a low voice, "Master Hou, why don't you come up and sleep with A Luo?" It's too cold on the ground. ”

She decided not to be angry with him, and looked at his tired and helpless figure, and couldn't bear it.

No matter how ugly his words were before, Jiang Chengjia didn't intend to be angry with him. In the month of the journey, the relationship between the two of them has gradually eased, and they don't have to continue to share the bed like this.

There was a faint and small call from the gauze tent, Ning Nan trembled, her body froze, and after a few seconds, she turned around and looked at the petite body lying inside, and said in a hoarse and tired voice, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Master Hou is not here, Ah Luo can't sleep peacefully." She was not cold to him, and her tone was much more cordial, probably because she was afraid that he would add another blockage in his heart, so she slowed down her tone and said softly.

"Why didn't you mess with me today?" His voice was low, with a hint of helplessness.

Before he could finish speaking, he slowly got up and walked towards the couch. Jiang Chengjia moved, sat up, pulled up the gauze tent, and when he saw him coming over and sitting on the edge of the couch, he slowly moved to his side and stretched out his hand to undress him.

Ning Nan turned to the side naturally, and opened her arms at her mercy. His eyes slowly fell on Jiang Chengjia, stared at her side for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice, "I heard Aunt Biyun say, you waited outside for a day today?" ”

"Ah Luo is just worried about her mother." Jiang Chengjia muttered in a low voice, deftly untied his coat with slender fingers, took it off one by one, sorted it out for him, folded it in front of the couch, and then patted the vacant seat beside her and said, "It's not early, Master Hou went to bed early, don't exhaust yourself." ”

Ning Nan was silent, watching Jiang Chengjia lie down naturally, a small lump shrank into the futon, turned sideways and continued to sleep. His face was soft, and he gently pulled the futon she was dragging in his hand, pressed heavily on her side, closed his eyes, and was extremely tired. After a while, there was the sound of heavy breathing.

Jiang Chengjia turned around cautiously, facing the sleeping Ning Nanwei, looking at his delicate eyebrows and eyes full of tiredness, his eyebrows were not flattened, they were squeezed tightly, and they did not relax, and they seemed to be very uneasy. She involuntarily stretched out her fingers, trying to soothe the sorrow and discomfort on the tip of his brow. But the fingers hung between his eyebrows and suddenly stopped, and his heart was reluctant to disturb his hard-won sleep, so he looked at him quietly in the faint light, I don't know how long.
