Volume 2: Ten Years of Life and Death [52] Grounded
At the moment when Su Jin lifted Chu Changting's veil, a thin shirt fell from the sky and quickly fell on Chu Changting's head, covering her peerless face at a glance.
The movement was so fast that when Su Jin didn't react, Mei Makeup was already standing in front of Chu Changting, looking coldly at Su Jin who was dancing with his teeth and claws.
"Miss's face is sick and she can't see the light." Mei said noncommittently.
Looking at the veil tightly held in his hand, and then at the murderous plum makeup, Su Jin was stunned. At this time, everyone had already reacted, Su Zhi looked at Chu Changting's covered face curiously, the look in her eyes showed that she obviously didn't believe Mei Makeup's explanation, Su Miao stepped forward and dragged Su Jin back, while Su He stepped forward quickly and helped Han Miao on the ground with concern.
"Are you alright? Does it hurt to fall? Su He asked hurriedly, a trace of anxiety flashed on Wen Wen's face, and his eyes looked at Han Yaoxi, wanting to see if Han Yaoxi had fallen and injured himself.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Han Yaoxi smiled politely and detachedly, gently brushed away the hand that was tightly gripping her on her arm, and then turned her head away and stopped looking at him.
Su He withdrew his hand in embarrassment, walked back to Su Jin with some loss, and saw Su Jin's beautiful face blooming with anger and resentment, like a bewitching man-eating flower opening its hideous mouth under the beautiful skin, Su He's heart suddenly crossed a strange feeling, he frowned slightly, and couldn't understand for a while what the heavy and unusual feeling in his heart was.
"Jin'er, stop messing around." Su He thought that his voice to Su Jin would be as gentle and warm as ever, but as soon as the words came out, he was shocked, and the voice was a little deliberately intimate and a little unintentional alienation, as if he was about to break the lotus thread, struggling between giving up and peace.
Not wanting to let himself be tormented by this feeling of being free from ups and downs, Su He clenched his fists tightly and said categorically: "That's the end of today's matter, don't let me hear anyone talk about this matter in the future." Li'er bumped into Miss Four, or made an unintentional mistake, but Miss Four recovered from a serious illness, and it was the time when her body needed to recuperate, so it was always Li'er's inconsiderateness. I hope you will think about the rights and wrongs of today, and then you will not go out of meditation and fasting again if you have nothing to do. Without my permission, no one is allowed to disturb Miss Li'er except Miss Han. ”
Han Miaoting was indignant in her heart, and she wanted to argue about something, but Chu Changting pulled her sleeve slightly, and secretly gave her a gesture to calm the matter, and she stopped making a sound, her face was pale.
Hearing that Su He was obviously partial to himself and grounded Chu Changting again, Su Jin smiled proudly at Chu Changting, but Chu Changting didn't want to look at Su Jin anymore.
That hideous but beautiful face made her sick.
"The fourth lady should not walk around when she is recovering from a serious illness, and she should also recuperate in the house. From now on, don't go out and walk around without my permission. Su He's words changed, and Su Jin's feet were forbidden, the smile on Su Jin's face suddenly couldn't be hung up, she looked at Su He in shock and stunned, and screamed: "Brother! I've been locked up in that room in the dark for five years! Five whole years! I finally got better, but you didn't let me go out, are you trying to force me to death! ”
"Jin'er! No nonsense! Seeing that Su Jin was already a little out of control, and even put the most taboo death word mentioned by Su Fu in front of her, Su Miao hurriedly grabbed her arm to dissuade her. But Su Jin didn't listen to him, and broke free of Su Miao's hand with some confusion, and then threw himself into Su He's arms, clutching Su He's shirt tightly with both hands, his eyes were red as if he was about to drip blood, and said, "Brother! You can't do this to me! ”
Su Zhi stood in the corner of the room, his face hidden in the shadows, looking at Su Jin's eyes with a faint excitement and expectation, as if he knew Su Jin's madness at the moment.
Chu Changting looked at Su Jin's words and actions, and felt that it was no longer as simple as the arrogance and arrogance of the eldest lady, but more like he had some kind of madness, and at this moment, he was stimulated and the illness attacked, and he lost the most basic sanity. She glanced at Su Zhi again, seeing that there was secret excitement in her beautiful eyes, and suddenly a bold idea popped up, isn't this Su Zhi who has been taking advantage of Su Jin's serious illness for five years to feed her the poison of her bad sanity, and today I saw that Su Jin finally had a seizure, so she showed this look?
Han Miaoxi also felt that Su Jin seemed to have some kind of madness, and her bright eyes were full of dementia madness at the moment. She tilted her head and whispered softly to Chu Changting: "These four young ladies, their fate is really bad. ”
"Maybe not providential." Chu Changting glanced at Su Zhi again, and replied in a meaningful whisper.
Han Miaoxi didn't think deeply about what Chu Changting said to her, but looked at Su He's reaction at this time with great interest. She was originally a person who was bored with the world, but at this moment she was a little curious about how this bamboo-like man, who had always been graceful and gentle, would react to her already crazy sister.
"Jin'er, listen to my brother, be good." When Su Jin hit him hard, Su He obviously felt a pain in his chest, he took a long breath, gently stroked Su Jin's back, and patiently comforted, "Brother went to the doctor today to get the precious medicinal materials that were missing in the house, and the doctor told me so." Your body is just right, your skin is still very fragile, you really can't stand the wind and sun, you can rest in the house for more than a month, and when you are completely healed, I will naturally let you go out with confidence. Otherwise, if I don't limit your footprints at this moment, I will always worry about your recurrence of illness and difficulty sleeping and eating. ”
What an official mouth. Chu Changting's gaze moved to Su Jin, whose face gradually eased, and saw that her figure was obviously loose, and the hand holding Su He tightly was also slightly loosened. Seeing that Su Jin's mood was gradually stabilizing, Su He hurriedly pushed the boat down the river and took Su Jin's hand and walked out, comforting her softly as he walked, and continued to calm her emotions.
Seeing that Su Jin had obediently followed Su He, Su Miao and Su Zhi also followed. With their backs to their backs, Chu Changting and Han Miaoxi couldn't see Su Zhi's face, only saw her well-proportioned figure disappear at the door, gradually moving away.
Su Miao was behind Su Zhi, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly paused, turned back to Chu Changting and said, "I'm disturbing the girl today, I will send someone to clean up the girl's quiet fast." ”
"Thank you." Chu Changting was slightly blessed, and he didn't plan to be too polite.
Han Miaoji also said goodbye to Chu Changting, went back to his house to change clothes, and left only one sentence before leaving: "Today's unfinished business, he will talk about it later." ”
After Han Miaoxi left, Mei Xiang closed the door of the house. She turned around and saw that Chu Changting had taken off the thin veil that had been covering her head for a long time, bypassed the blood stains dripping all over the ground, and sat on the soft collapse as if relieved, her eyes full of exhaustion.
"Mei makeup, thank you today, it's not early, go back to your room and rest." Although there are still thousands of questions about today's plum makeup, Chu Changting really doesn't have the energy to ask, she doesn't want to say a word at this time, she just wants to lie on the couch and recuperate.
"Miss, how long are you going to stay in Su Mansion?" Mei Xiang ignored Chu Changting's polite send-off, but walked in front of Chu Changting.
"Stay until I hear about my brother." Hearing Mei Makeup ask about Chu Nanpu, Chu Changting barely cheered up, and there was a trace of anxiety in her heart, she stood up and replied, "Su He has already sent someone to check for me, once I find out, I will immediately return to Fengzhao." ”
"Miss, please let me stay back. If something like today's bad thing happens again, I'll be much safer with you. Mei Xiang paused, and then continued, "I know that Miss may have some misunderstanding and estrangement about me, but I am willing to use practical actions to tell Miss that since I have been ordered by the general to protect Miss without worry, then I will definitely do it, even if I take my life." ”
Hearing Mei Makeup mention Shen Liangchen, Chu Changting's eyes darkened. She rolled up the corners of her clothes in a bit of frustration, and her thoughts drifted away.
She is still like this, as long as she hears a little news about Shen Liangchen, she will lose her mind for a long time.
"Miss, I will always be by your side. Whether it is Feng Zhao in the past, or Qingyi now, or anywhere in the future. Mei Makeup's cold voice interrupted Chu Changting's thoughts. Chu Changting came back to his senses, and his gaze at Mei Makeup became deeper and deeper.
If such an emotional word is still there, it must be that he said it and I listened.
The nose was slightly sour, Chu Changting took a deep breath, pulled up a smile, and said softly: "Mei makeup, I know your mind." It's just that at this time, I have lost blood and love, and I really need to be alone to numb myself, ease myself, and let myself fully cheer up as soon as possible, and then devote myself to the next stage of life. And this kind of reborn change requires a person to grit his teeth to complete. Any kind of companionship will make me cowardly and avoid, and it will make it more difficult for me to get out of the shadows. ”
"I don't understand." Mei Xiang shook her head and lowered her eyes, "But I respect your wishes." ”
"Thank you." Chu Changting smiled with relief, the corners of his eyes were crooked, and a little smile flowed out.
Mei Xiang nodded, turned around and walked to the door, stopped halfway through, turned around again, frowned and asked after hesitating, "I don't know much about today's events." ”
"What?" Chu Changting couldn't understand what Mei Makeup was talking about.
"I went to the small kitchen to get some food, but I bumped into the two maids who complained to the maid who came to pick up the pastries next to Su Jin, so I went to find Su He and told him about it. But after that, I became more and more incomprehensible. Su He clearly knew right from wrong, why did he favor Su Jin so much...... Why does everyone seem to be so partial to Su Jin? And in turn to bully Miss you? ”
Chu Changting was stunned, she had always thought that Mei Xiang was a sluggish person, and she might be a little slow to heat up about things like feelings, but she never thought that she would know anything about it. Chu Changting thought for a moment, and then tried to explain: "Because of feelings." There is a family affection between them that is thicker than water, just like my feelings for Nanpu. This kind of closeness engraved in the bones will make people blind and deaf, and they only want to see the good side of their relatives, but not the bad side. Therefore, even if Su Jin did something wrong today, their first reaction was to protect her and not want her to be hurt. ”
"Family affection...... Engraved in the bones? Mei Xiang muttered to herself, understanding with difficulty and pain, and then slowly walked out of the room.
