Ling Xiao slowly lowered his hand, he felt that the wound on his left shoulder was becoming more and more painful, obviously there was not much pain after the bandaging before.

He blink his eyes and saw Zheng Zhi picking up something on the ground, and looked at it when it was the red mespar she had given him before. When did it fall out? Ling Xiao eased his emotions, and he said calmly: "It may be that it fell out when I took off my clothes before, but fortunately it didn't get dirty." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take the silk handkerchief back.

But Zheng Zhi didn't give it to Ling Xiao again, but thought about it and put it in her arms. Ling Xiao was inexplicable, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you pay me back?" ”

Zheng Zhi didn't look at Ling Xiao, she looked at the city wall in the distance and said, "This is the third young lady's personal belongings, since the second son Ling has no affection for the third young lady, it's better not to take it with you again." ”

Ling Xiao was stunned, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "I know, I won't bring it with me in the future, give it to me."

Zheng Zhi lowered her eyes, "This handkerchief does not belong to the son, and when the son finds the girl he really loves in the future, the silk handkerchief boy he gave will be kept." This one doesn't bother the son. ”

Hearing this, Ling Xiao was very surprised, and then a nameless fire rose in her heart, there was something in her words, could it be ......

"Are you taking care of too much? You were the one who gave me this veil in the first place, and now you want to take it back by talking to yourself? Ling Xiao accentuated his tone.

Zheng Zhi raised her head, she wanted to make it clear to Ling Xiao, but at this moment she saw a carriage coming from the city gate, and the person in the carriage looked very familiar, it was Bai Ziren! Zheng Zhi remembered that she hadn't been back for almost two hours after coming and going, and this Bai Ziren must have been in a hurry to find her.

It is said that not long after this Bai Ziren paid the bill in the rouge shop, he was surrounded by a group of warblers and Yanyan from nowhere, and these girls either asked him which rouge was suitable for him, or asked him to consult whether his makeup was pleasing to the eye. After sneezing more than a dozen times from the scent of the girls' fat powder, Bai Ziren finally finished commenting on the last girl's lip color. When he was just stretching out his leg to get out of the shop, he was suddenly slammed by a man with a thin back, and then he didn't know who shouted to catch the thief. Bai Ziren subconsciously touched the place where he put his money bag, and it was empty. He immediately chased after him, and strange to say, the thief did not go far, so he followed all the way. But when it was time to catch up, the thief quickened his pace, and then left him not far behind.

Bai Ziren gradually began to feel that something was not right, he stopped and planned to give up catching the thief, and their Bai Mansion was not short of this bit of silver. But at this time, an old woman came, dressed in a torn shirt, and a doll of five or six years old was next to her. She cried and said that the thief had stolen the money from their grandparents to see a doctor and buy medicine, which was all the belongings they had saved for many years. Although Bai Ziren usually sometimes has the sour rot of a scholar, he also has the righteousness and injustice of the rivers and lakes in his temperament. Without saying a word, he continued to chase the thief to the death.

In the end, although the thief still fled, it took more than half an hour to finally get the money back, and he saw the old woman get the money back and was happy, and he felt that he could be the chivalrous young man. It's just that this joy of being a young man gradually faded when the old woman soon disappeared into the sea of people, and he also found that he hadn't seen Zheng Zhi for a long time.

When he searched for several shops and waited for several thatched huts to no avail, he began to get nervous. He asked the little guy who drove the car to go back to Baifu to inform the eldest brother first, and he drove the carriage through the streets and alleys, looking inside and outside the city, and everyone who asked didn't seem to see Zheng Zhi again. It was getting darker and darker, and he decided to go out of town to try his luck.

At this time, Ling Xiao also saw Bai Ziren who was driving in a car, and he muttered, "Why is this scholar here?"

Zheng Zhi thought about it quickly and made up her mind, she turned back to Ling Xiao and said, "Second Prince Ling, don't say goodbye." When the time comes, I will tell Kashiwa that I was kidnapped by thieves and taken out of the city. Please stay here and don't come out. After speaking, Zheng Zhi no longer hesitated, she walked out of the grass and shouted in the direction of the carriage: "Second son!"

Bai Ziren didn't react, she continued to drive forward with a stiff face, seeing that the carriage was about to leave her, Zheng Zhi had to run with the carriage, and shouted with all her strength: "Second son, wait for me!" ”

When Ling Xiao saw this scene, he really wanted to come out and shout in the ear of the second nerd in Baifu for Zheng Zhi, but he couldn't help it, he looked at Zheng Zhi's staggering back, she was calmer and stronger than he thought.

The nerd Bai Ziren finally heard the voice and turned around, and the moment he saw Zheng Zhi, he couldn't believe it, he stopped the carriage and shouted tentatively: "Second sister-in-law? ”

Zheng Zhi exhaled and beckoned to Bai Ziren.

On the way back to Bai Mansion, Zheng Zhi succinctly told Bai Ziren about a thief who wanted to kidnap her to ask for ransom

The story of her last escape.

When Bai Ziren listened to Zheng Zhi's story, he almost always kept a stunned appearance with his mouth wide open. After Zheng Zhi finished speaking, he began to blame himself for not protecting his second sister-in-law and making her suffer so much. Zheng Zhi thought that it might be that her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn, and her dirty appearance frightened Bai Ziren.

Before I arrived at Baifu, I saw the families up and down Baifu looking for people on the road. When Zheng Zhi's car arrived at the door, she saw Bai Ziyi, Bai Zifei and Zheng Rui waiting at the door, and Bai Ziyi also showed a worried look on her face.

Knowing that Zheng Zhi was back, everyone just breathed a sigh of relief, but the moment they saw Zheng Zhi get out of the car, everyone was shocked. Although she had cleaned the mud from her body a little, the broken hem of her skirt and the little blood stains on her skirt were shocking.

Bai Zifei asked with a crying voice: "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Who made you like this? Zheng Zhi smiled bitterly and shook her head. Bai Ziyi stepped forward and looked at Zheng Zhi carefully for a while, then pulled Bai Zifei away and said, "Let Zheng Zhi have a good rest first." And Zheng Rui, who was standing on the side, only casually said a word of bitterness to her sister, and the look in her eyes began to be unclear.

Zheng Zhi returned to Tinglan Courtyard, Thrush cried for a while after seeing Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi helplessly comforted for a while, and sighed: "Thrush, I'm fine, you help me put the bath water, I want to take a bath." The thrush then whimpered and went out to prepare.

After the bath water was put away, Zheng Zhi took off the clothes that had been glued to her body, and she didn't know how many cold sweats she had today, and she didn't know how many times the cold sweat had been dried by the wind. She touched the silk handkerchief hidden in her bosom, and the silk handkerchief did not look new, and she hid it in the bottom layer where she had placed the silk handkerchief.
