Ning Ningqing's fingertips were smeared with some translucent burn medicine, and when her fingers touched, it would mix with a little milky white thick liquid, and at night, the ointment on her fingertips was slightly cool.

Ah Zheng's hand suddenly touched her wrist, and she suddenly noticed a slight pain coming from her wrist.

However, the pain was very light, and Ah Zheng didn't mean to hurt her, but just reminded her.

She looked along the place where Ah Zheng was holding, it was still a little dark, it turned out that when Cuiyu had just cleaned up the dust on her body, she just cleaned up in a hurry, so she ignored this place and forgot to wipe her wrists for her. However, there is only some floating ash there, how can it be so painful?

She patted her wrist lightly, and saw that there was some red underneath, it turned out that she was also burning a little, but it was not heavy, eighty percent was just that she was burned when she was at a loss in the fire, and then it was covered by floating ash, so she didn't notice it herself.

Ah Zheng gently grabbed her finger stained with burn medicine and pressed it against the wound on her wrist.

Ah Zheng's movements were very light, and she even felt that Ah Zheng's hand holding her trembled slightly. Just now, Yelu Wushu said that Ah Zheng fainted in pain, and now although Ah Zheng is awake, he is trembling a little, which shows how much pain Ah Zheng has! She had only been burned on her wrist and it was already in such pain.

The burn medicine on her fingers was gently rubbed against the wound on her wrist, gentle and obscure.

"Liar......" She suddenly cried, the gentle ripples faintly blurred in the bottom of her heart, layers of dim water waves spread, layer by layer outward like a flower blooming, with a bit of new delicate pink, when the wind blows, the cool water marks taste bright and determined.

She sobbed and asked, "When did you come back?" ”

Ah Zheng said in a low voice and intermittently: "I have always been in Liuyang County. I hadn't left the city at all, and I knew that the Wushu would come here for the silk bazaar, so I went straight to him and followed them in their caravan. ”

She cried and laughed at the same time, and the joy in her heart was like a spring breeze blowing through the willow branches, peeling off the tender green shoots, and the joy she secretly stole was like a treasure given to her by God, giving her a steady stream of joy and strength.

"Don't cry." Ah Zheng said softly, raised his hand to wipe her tears, Ah Zheng had a dry line on his hand that had been burned, and scraped her face slightly.

Ah Zheng suddenly said: "We are going to get married in the future, I don't want to always watch you cry in front of me." ”

She glanced sideways, "You said that to me last time, and then you won't say goodbye." ”

Ah Zheng smiled, seeing that she didn't seem to be so unhappy, he moved his lips and whispered, "Master Gu is right, if I don't disappear, I will always be a hidden danger." The murder case has not yet been decided, and it is becoming more and more likely to become an unsolved case, but sooner or later this knife will fall one day. ”

She frowned and looked at him, as if she was upset again because of his words.

After a moment of silence, she asked with some concern, "What can I do now?" "She has no idea, or rather, she has an idea, but she has a conflict.

Ah Zheng was stunned for a while, and said in a low voice: "Master Gu, you won't be able to save me for a while, I still have to go, otherwise I will definitely cause you trouble." ”

She frowned, and said to herself, "Otherwise, I'll ask Master Gu again, I'll ask him if he can solve the murder as soon as possible." ”

"No need." Ah Zheng said firmly: "Don't embarrass Lord Gu. ”

She glanced at Ah Zheng suspiciously, and Ah Zheng said casually: "Didn't Lord Gu say it, what is involved behind that case is the forces above, I think that Lord Gu must be struggling to mediate with the other party at the moment." If you urge him to save me as soon as possible, you will embarrass him. ”

She looked at Ah Zheng for a while, but she didn't doubt him, and said: "By the way, and Brother Yelu, you have been hiding in his caravan for so long, if those people are tracked down in the future, I am afraid that it will affect Brother Yelu, so I have to let him leave Meigong County quickly to avoid it." ”

Ah Zheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, he knows my current situation and is ready to deal with it, in short, you don't have to worry about his safety." ”

Ning Xia Qing looked at him straight and asked in a low voice, "Then when will you come back?" ”

"It won't be delayed for long." Ah Zheng resolutely promised: "I will definitely come back before the end of your filial piety, but I have been waiting to marry you." ”

Ningxia Qing opened his mouth slightly: "Then I ......"

Ah Zheng raised his hand with difficulty, touched her hair, and said a little tiredly: "You should go back to Mrs. Soon, otherwise Mrs. will be in a hurry." ”

She had no choice but to nod and turn to the Cao family to say goodbye.

Cao Shi seemed to be a little tired tonight, saying that he was suffering from a little cold and a little lacking in energy. When Ningxia Qing passed, Cao was lying on the couch, served by Lan Ying and drinking medicine.

Ning Xia Qing hurriedly asked, but learned that Cao's was only slight, and after using the medicine once in the afternoon, it was much better than before, but the medicine would be drowsy after drinking, so Cao's didn't seem to have much energy.

Cao Shi was lying on the couch, Ning Xia Qing was full of flaws in himself, and he wanted to take over Lan Ying to personally serve Cao Shi to drink medicine, but he was afraid that walking in front of Cao Shi would make Cao Shi discover his embarrassment.

Looking at the sleepy Cao, Ning Xia Qing sat at the table and said a few words briefly, making up a set of explanations for why he came back so late. From beginning to end, Ningxia Qing deliberately did not go under Cao's nose.

There were only two candles lit in the house, and a few dark clouds blocked the moonlight at the right time, and Cao's was more afraid of the wind because of the wind cold, so the doors and windows of the house were closed, making the moonlight shining through the windows darker.

In such a dark room, Ning Xia Qing could only see the outline of Cao's facial features clearly, so she guessed that Cao would definitely not find that she still had some faint scorch marks on her body at the moment.

Ning Ningqing briefly greeted Cao's a few words, and said that he was a little tired and wanted to go back to his house first, and then told Cao's to recuperate, and then left Cao's yard.

Leaving Cao's house, Ningxia Qingchang breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why she came over was because Ah Zheng urged her to come, and secondly, because she knew that if she didn't come again, the Cao family should be suspicious.

She knew that she couldn't hide the fire from the Cao family tonight, and she also knew that she should explain tonight's incident to the Cao family as soon as possible. But until now, she hadn't figured out how to tell Cao, so she was extremely embarrassed.

However, it was precisely because of Cao's mental fatigue that Ningxia Qing gave himself a sufficient reason in his heart to hide the fire from Cao for a few more days.

Coming out of Cao's house, Ning Xia Qing stood under the moonlight, breathed a long sigh of relief, stood for a while, and turned his head to Ah Zheng's house.

Ah Zheng's house was empty.

She knew it! She knew it! She knew he was lying to her again!

In the empty room, she suddenly felt very wronged, sat down on the ground, and tears began to linger uncontrollably.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

She looked at the door in shock and saw Cao Shi, who was also full of shock.

"I knew that...... I knew ......" Cao's face was full of sickness, and he cried, "I knew you were a little weird tonight. What are you doing in Ah Zheng's room again?! ”

Like the vines of bean melon, they are wrapped around the old hanger outside the door, staggered and climbing, and the branches on the vines are very much like interlaced branches, intertwined together, staggered with each other, and it is difficult to separate.

Ningxia Qing knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.

It turned out that when Ningxia Qing went to Cao's house just now, Cao had already noticed that Ningxia Qing was behaving differently, and after Ningxia Qing left, the more Cao thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and decided to ask, and walked to Ningxia Qing's yard, but found that no one was in the yard.

The Cao family began to search for Ningxia Qing all over the house, and finally with an unbelievable mentality, he really found Ningxia Qing in the house where Ah Zheng lived before.

"I just think you're weird tonight, tell my mother, what's wrong?" Cao Shi said as he uneasily took Ning Ningqing's hand, only to find that his daughter still had burn marks on her wrists.

Cao Shi looked at Ning Xia Qing's hair again, only to see that Ning Xia Qing's hair still had a faint smell of burning, and saw Ning Ning Qing's tears in his eyes, and he cried so sadly for some reason, Cao Shi was about to cry urgently, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Ningxia Qing cried and told Cao that he went to Wanyanfang to find someone, but when he encountered a fire, it was Ah Zheng who risked his life to save himself.

"What kind of place do you want to do?! Ahem...... cough cough ......" Cao Shi coughed angrily, his tone was full of blame, but this blame was not dissatisfied with Ning Ningqing's outrageous behavior, but worried about Ning Ningqing's lack of care for his reputation, and complaining that Ningxia Qing had put himself in danger.

Ningxia Qing didn't speak, Cao looked at Yu's daughter who was gradually calming down, and sighed: "In addition to your wrist, where else did you hurt?" You're going to scare me to death, if you really ...... tonight because of that fire Then I really don't have to live! ”

"I'm fine." Ning Ningqing's voice sank like a lake: "Except for my wrist, I didn't hurt anywhere." ”

Cao obviously didn't believe it, pulled up Ning Ningqing's sleeve and looked at it, but saw that the fine skin and tender flesh except for the wrist were not hurt in the slightest, so he relaxed a little.

The cool night breeze blew into the house, and the vines outside the house were entangled in the secrets of the wind and moon that made it difficult for the mother and daughter to speak.

"Qing'er, ...... What about Ah Zheng? Didn't he save you? Where is he? Cao finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked worriedly.

Seeing Ning Xia Qing crying in Ah Zheng's house, Cao Shi felt that something was wrong, and Ning Ningqing's injury was not like ordinary emotions......

Cao couldn't help frowning deeply.

In Cao's heart, Ningxia Qing is a very measured child who never lets himself the slightest snack, and Cao has always felt that such an ugly thing as a secret song can never be related to Ningxia Qing.

Before Ning Yongda's death, Ningxia Qing has always been a proud daughter of the Cao family, although the Cao family did not look forward to Ningxia Qing being rich and noble, but he has always looked forward to Ningxia Qing being a proper room, and looking forward to Ningxia Qing being a woman who can be called one in a million in the eyes of her in-laws, husbands, children, concubines, and subordinates.

After Ning Yongda's death, Ning Ningqing was in charge of the family business, and his actions were quite out of line. But maybe it's the relationship between mothers, although Cao is an ordinary middle-aged woman with a conservative personality, she has never really felt that Ningxia Qing is at fault, and Cao has always been secretly proud of Ningxia Qing's bravery.

Who would have thought that one day, the Cao family would find out that Ningxia Qing had done such a thing!

This kind of thing is a secret communication with a man.,It's always been the kind of stupid thing that only a young lady who doesn't have a heart because she is pampered by her parents.。 That kind of girl doesn't eat the fireworks of the world and doesn't understand the insidiousness of the world, so she is easily coaxed by men, her mind is full of love and love, and she misunderstands her life in a daze.

But Ning Ningqing has never been the kind of girl who doesn't have a heart...... The Cao family couldn't believe that Ningxia Qing could actually do such a thing!

Cao even forgot about the chill, but was only shocked and incredulous.

"Mother, he's already gone,......" Ning Xia Qing said gloomily, "I don't know if he will come back......"

Cao Shi was a little annoyed: "Could it be that he ......?"

Ning Xia Qing realized that the Cao family had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "That's not the case, he left for my good." Because he caused a little trouble, in fact, it wasn't him who caused trouble, it was simply a disaster from heaven, but he was afraid of affecting me, so he left. ”

Cao didn't know what Ning Xia Qing said about "a disaster from heaven", and he was used to Ning Ningqing often hiding it from him, so he just sighed and said hopelessly: "I can't control you anymore, you can decide for yourself......"

Ning Xia Qing looked at Cao Shi with some loss, and said: "By the way, tonight's fire may be a bit strange, the government will definitely investigate this matter, and I, as the only person who escaped from the fire, will definitely be called by the government for questioning." ”

"Huh? The government wants to ask you for questioning? This...... cough cough...... "Cao Shi raised his eyebrows all of a sudden, and as soon as he heard that the government was going to call Ning Xia Qing to question, Cao Shi immediately put aside Ah Zheng's matter.

Ning Ningqing nodded and comforted: "It's just to ask about the situation, don't worry." After all, I am also a victim, and the government will definitely not embarrass me. ”

Cao glanced at Ning Xia Qing, and saw that Ning Ningqing's eyes were full of determination, so Cao Shi also nodded and said, "Okay then." But ......"

Ning Xia Qing sighed dejectedly and said, "I know, I can't hide tonight's affairs, others will definitely know that I have appeared in Wanyanfang tonight, and when the time comes, the reputation of grandma, mother, and Zi'er will be affected by me......"

"It's too late to say that." Cao Shi closed his eyes and said desperately: "The old lady and I are both old, even if we are talked about by others, that's it, but Zi'er is still young, and she will marry ......someone in the future."

Ningxia Qing's expression darkened, and Cao Shi knew that he was speechless, so he hurriedly changed his words and said: "That's it, it's really not good, after the government calls you to ask questions, let's move to another place, to a place where no one knows about this." In short, it's good that our family is safe and sound. ”

Ning Xia Qing thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, let's hide this from grandma first, grandma is old, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it." ”

Cao Shi nodded, and said while thinking: "Well, it's been cold recently, so I said that I was afraid that the old lady would also feel the cold, so let the old lady stay at home as much as possible, so as not to go out and hear the rumors." It's just that Zi'er may also hear a lot of gossip in the academy, so it's better not to let Zi'er go to the academy, so that she won't tell the old lady after she knows. ”

Ning Xia Qing shook her head, frowned, and said, "If we don't let grandma go out, and don't let Zi'er go to the academy, grandma will definitely be suspicious." ”

Cao Shi thought for a moment and said, "You're right. Don't worry, I'll go and tell Zi'er about this, so that no matter what she hears, she won't say anything in front of the old lady. ”
