There is a natural stone in the courtyard of Wenjiang, about the size of two people hugging, and it looks like a very low hill, placed in the middle of the yard.

This stone was placed here by Gao Yuanhe on her tenth birthday, of course, because she had just been given a yard and placed a stone for the town's house.

When the stone was first moved, it was sharp and hard as iron, and after six or seven years, the edges and corners were smoothed out a lot.

Gao Wenjiang, who was wearing a brocade dress and a black coat, rubbed the stone, as if he had something on his mind.

Intentionally or unintentionally, she saw the snow next to the edges, reached out and grabbed it, then clenched her fists to shake the snow into a snowball.

The snowball was very small, she looked at it carefully, picked it up and faced the sun, it looked crystal clear, like a pearl. It's just that the pearl is slowly getting smaller, and the melted water flows down her arm and down her body.

Gao Wenjiang immediately threw the snowball out, but he didn't think about hitting the wooden door of the courtyard, startling the maid who walked in.

This is the maid winter flower that her mother newly picked for her, but Gao Wenjiang doesn't like it very much. She felt that this maid was too stupid, and she looked very ordinary, as if she was a bitter child from a poor family, especially when she saw her yellow hair, Gao Wenjiang always pouted dissatisfied.

"I didn't hit you." Gao Wenjiang asked coldly.

"No, miss." The winter flowers and trees replied.

Gao Wenjiang smiled slightly, held another snowball in both hands, and suddenly smashed it towards Donghua, hitting Donghua's stomach, and Donghua couldn't help but scream in fright.

"It's smashed." She strode outside as she spoke.

Donghua hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice, "Miss, where are you going?" ”

"You have to care where I go?" Gao Wenjiang replied unhappily, and walked slowly towards the gate of the inner mansion, as if he was going out.

Donghua's face was a little anxious, and she hurriedly said, "Miss, Madame asked you to go to her yard in the morning!" ”

"I know, isn't it time yet?" Gao Wenjiang walked out of the inner mansion door as he spoke, and the housekeeper Qin Xi came over to see her and hurriedly greeted, "Miss Wenjiang is fine." ”

Gao Wenjiang nodded at him with a smile, "Miss, where are you going?" Qin Xi asked.

"I'm going to see the wild goose." Gao Wenjiang said in a low voice, and walked quickly to Gao Hongyi's room.

When he arrived at the door and was stopped outside by Tu Su's men, Gao Wenjiang was slightly dissatisfied, but he still waited there. After a while, Tu Su ran over and invited her in.

Gao Wenjiang timidly walked into Gao Hongyi's courtyard, she rarely came here, and when she came in, she saw that in the empty courtyard, in addition to a few plum blossoms under the shadow wall, the most eye-catching thing was the weapons placed on the left and right sides.

Gao Hongyi was practicing knives in the yard, and the sound of the sharp big knife splitting the air frightened her to stand in place, not daring to move.

After a while, Gao Hongyi put away the knife and threw the big knife to Tu Su, knocking Gao Wenjiang with a look, "Yan Ni woke up, but her body is very weak, she fell asleep again just now, don't wake her up after you go in." ”

Gao Wenjiang nodded.

"Come in with me." Gao Hongyi said and walked towards the house, and Gao Wenjiang silently followed.

In the house, the two slaves and maids newly bought by Tu Su were boiling medicine in the compartment next to them, and when they saw Gao Hongyi bringing people in, they went out with their heads down.

Gao Wenjiang glanced at them intentionally or unintentionally, and then walked inside to Yanni, who was lying on the bed, she walked forward quickly and took a closer look.

Yan Ni lost weight, his face was not very good, lying on the bed like a dead person, which shocked Gao Wenjiang. She sat down in front of Yan Ni with fear, wanting to reach out and stroke her hair, but she took her hand back when she thought of Gao Hongyi's command.

"It's much better than before, Lang Zhong said that he will be cured after a while." Gao Hongyi whispered on the side.

Gao Wenjiang nodded, looked at Yan Ni for a while, and walked out of the room.

"Brother Yi, I really didn't expect that Yan Ni would suffer so much." Gao Wenjiang said sadly, "I saw it at the time and wanted to stop it, but my mother didn't let me and scolded me back." ”

The more Gao Wenjiang spoke, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help but shed tears, "Sister Yanni has taken care of me for so many years and suffered so much, but I can't help at all, I can only watch her being tortured." Brother Yi, will you blame me? ”

"If you can say that, it's not in vain that Sister Yanni loves you so much." Gao Hongyi said lightly.

Gao Wenjiang lowered his head to wipe away his tears, and after a while, he raised his head, looked at the room where Yanni was recuperating, and said, "I'm leaving, I hope she can get better as soon as possible." And he departed.

At that time, Gao Wenlong also came out of his yard and was gossiping with Qin Xi, when he suddenly saw his sister's face was not good, and then he found that he had just cried and thought something had happened, so he stepped forward with concern, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Gao Wenjiang ignored him, walked forward on his own, and entered the inner mansion.

Gao Wenlong looked at his sister's back suspiciously, and then followed.

The two came to Cheng's courtyard together and followed the maidservant into the room.

Cheng was lying on the bed at the moment, looking at the incomparably exquisite carved bed with a pair of big eyes. She heard the next person say that her daughter and son were coming, but she didn't get up, she was still lying down, but her face was ugly, as if she was angry with someone.

After Gao Wenjiang came in with his younger brother, he saw his mother lying on the bed, thinking that she was sick, and immediately walked to the bed with concern, "Mother." ”

Cheng sat up from the bed and suddenly cried.

The two Wen Jiang sisters and brothers immediately panicked and said loudly, "Mother, what's wrong with you?!" ”

Cheng looked at his pair of children, stretched out his hand to hold them in his arms, and said with trembling all over his body: "Mother is fine." ”

"It's okay, why are you crying!" Gao Wenlong asked worriedly.

"Mother," Cheng wanted to say but stopped.

"Mother, what happened?!"

Cheng gritted his teeth and cried, "My mother had a nightmare last night. ”

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that Gao Hongyi killed me with a knife!"

"What!" Both of them were surprised, both in disbelief.

Gao Wenjiang cried with his mother, Gao Wenlong was quite awake, and said comfortingly: "Mother, dreams are all reversed, you may have been affected by those dead people when you went to the Dharma field yesterday, just rest and rest." ”

"Yes, mother, how could Brother Yi kill you!" Gao Wenjiang also comforted on the side.

"How is it impossible, your father was killed by him, he will kill me sooner or later, and you, he will kill them all." Cheng gritted his teeth and said.

Gao Wenlong helplessly persuaded: "Mother, you remember wrong, my father was killed by Shi Hu, why did the eldest brother kill my father!" And the eldest brother is so good to us, how could he kill us. Mother, don't think about it, I'm going to invite Lang Zhong. ”

"You're back." Gao Wenlong was about to go out as he spoke, but Cheng suddenly took Gao Wenlong's hand from behind.

"I'm fine, so I don't have to trouble Langzhong." Cheng Shi got up from the bed as he spoke, and then instructed his subordinates to take out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, put it in front of his children, and said aggrievedly: "You don't know the details, that Gao Hongyi is really a despicable villain, he killed your father and drove away your eldest brother, just to take away the military power and status of our Gao family."

He called us to the Dharma field yesterday so that we could see how proud he was, and if he succeeded, he would soon kill us. But he underestimated his mother too much, he wanted to harm us, and my mother would never sit still. Jiang'er, Long'er, my mother has already written a letter to your uncle, and you should write one immediately, let your uncle know what kind of suffering you have suffered here, and let him bring troops to save us! ”

Gao Wenlong looked at his mother in disbelief, "Mother, what's wrong with you, how can he be the eldest brother, I don't write!" He said righteously.

"Are you trying to force your mother to die? Long'er, the mother hurts you the most. Did you watch your mother being killed by the despicable Gao Hongyi? If you really don't care about the life or death of your mother, then what's the point of your mother's life, your mother will die now! Cheng said angrily and was about to hit the wall, Gao Wenlong hugged his mother with tears in his eyes, "Mother, don't move to die, live, child, just write." ”

Cheng's envoy leaned on the side of the bed, hugging his son tightly, but his eyes looked at Gao Wenjiang.

Gao Wenjiang was already in tears at this time, holding the pen and writing tremblingly.
