In the back house, Wang Yuan, Li Xin'er, and Sun Lan sat quietly, listening to Lan Xinhui in front of them narrate what happened. Lan Xinhui's face was full of tears, and she shrugged her shoulders and sobbed from time to time, but in the intermittent narration, the three of them still understood the reason for the matter.

"In February, after saving our sisters from the fire, I arranged for my sister to live in the old house of Yong'an Fang. My sister felt very lonely after living for a few days, so she often wandered around the workshop. The slave advised her several times, but she would not listen. The slave thought that her sister was a lively person after all, and suddenly ...... Leaving the Autumn Moon Pavilion all of a sudden, the daily coarse tea, light rice, cloth, cloth and makeup will indeed be lost. Therefore, the slave did not say anything more. ”

Wang Yuan and the others nodded slightly, they were so bright that they were poor and boring, and there was indeed a process of adaptation, which was understandable.

"Originally, my sister went to Fangzhong Street just to buy some snacks and take a look, but the slave didn't see anything unusual; But when she came back from the outing, she also had more jewelry, more clothes, and a lot of fine gouache and rouge, and the slave began to be suspicious. You know, when our sisters were rescued by Childe, all the belongings and jewelry on their bodies were left in the Autumn Moon Pavilion, and they only took a small amount of money to make ends meet. Coarse tea and light rice can still be maintained, but it is absolutely impossible to buy Ayara's clothes and jewelry. ”

The slave suspects that her sister has done something bad again. Although it is also a cheap industry in the Autumn Moon Pavilion, it is still bright compared to the secret prostitution in the private kiln. If you become a secret prostitute, you will not only live up to the kindness of your son, but also despise yourself. Although Lan Xinhui was ashamed to speak, she still said it clearly.

Under the slave's questioning, my sister finally told the truth. It turned out that when she was wandering in the market, she got acquainted with Zhao Fangzheng of Yong'an Fang. That Zhao Fang was very attentive to her, and those jewelry, clothes, rouge, gouache and so on were all bought by Zhao Fang for his sister. My sister told me that Zhao Fang was promising to marry her as a concubine so that she could live a prosperous life. ”

"The slave told my sister that Wang Gongzi redeemed our sisters, and now we are both Wang Gongzi's slaves, and Wang Gongzi can't make decisions without permission. My sister didn't listen, had a big fight with me, said a lot of things that shouldn't be said, and the next morning, she moved directly to Zhao Fangzheng's house. ”

Lan Xinhui hung her head, recalling the situation that day. Lan Xiang'er's expression and words are still vivid, and she remembers them clearly, but these words can't be said in front of Wang Yuan.

The quarrel that day was very intense, and the two sisters hugged their heads and cried at the end, and after crying, Lan Xiang'er wiped her tears and said something for Lan Xinhui.

"Sister, I understand what you said, although my sister is not a woman from a good family, my sister is not stupid or stupid. To tell you the truth, in fact, I don't want to leave the Autumn Moon Pavilion, my sister is a broken flower and a willow body, and I still hope that after leaving the Autumn Moon Pavilion, what good fate will I not have? I'd rather stay in the Akizuki Pavilion than go outside. But I know that if I don't agree to leave, you will be very sad, so I willingly agree to leave the Akizuki Pavilion with you. ”

"Sister, why do you think so? Wouldn't it be good for you and my sister to leave that cannibalistic place? When you say this, don't you live up to the kindness of the prince? ”

"Sister, Wang Gongzi is indeed kind, but that kindness is only because of you. You said that Wang Yuan saved our two sisters, but I only admit that he saved you. My sister is not confused, and she does not have the delusion of letting Wang Yuan take in my two sisters by her side. Don't you notice? Wang Yuan looked at me with contempt in his eyes, he thought that I was a woman who was greedy for money and filthy, and my sister knew that he didn't want to save me at all in his heart, he just wanted to save you. He likes you, so he can only rescue me with me. And now, if I cling to you alive or dead, will I not be a burden to you? If he sees you clearly because of me, my sister will never want to. Your body is clean, don't delay your life because of your sister. ”

"Sister, no, Wang Gongzi must not think so, you don't think much."

"Girl, you don't understand. My sister has read countless people, and she can see who she can see at a glance. Wang Yuan is a capable person, and it would be a good thing if you could follow him. He really didn't have much interest in me. The stories he made up about twin brothers were just because he didn't want to have anything to do with me, so why should I be bored. Sister, in fact, you have a good home, and my sister's heart is happier than anything else. I can conclude that Wang Yuan will never pursue the matter between me and Zhao Fangzheng, and he can't wait to get rid of me. Moreover, my sister can't have no home, although that Zhao Fang is an old pervert, and my sister is also disgusted with him, but at least he can make my sister loved and loved, and have a place to live. My sister can't drag you down, but my sister also has to live and live. Do you want your sister to carry bags and soil to support herself? Then you might as well go to the river. Sister, don't persuade me, I've already decided. You also have to move to Wang Yuan's new house as soon as possible, men are impermanent, you have to be by his side at all times, otherwise he will be indifferent to you. ”

The conversation of that day echoed in her ears word by word, Lan Xinhui didn't feel the care in Lan Xiang'er's words at that time, but now that she thinks about it, which sentence is not a dear word from the bottom of her heart, it is all from the heart.

Seeing that Lan Xinhui was in a daze and was silent for a long time, Li Xin'er couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" We all know these things, and we will know about your sister going to give that Zhao Fang a proper concubine on the day you came to the new house. Jiro did not pursue the matter. In fact, if your sister can have a home because of this, we would love to see it. Only then what happened? Why is Sister Ling so good...... And he passed away? ”

Lan Xinhui raised her head and wiped her tears with her sleeve. Li Xin'er took a white handkerchief and got up and handed it to her to wipe her tears, and Lan Xinhui thanked her softly.

"I haven't left here for a few months, and I've only exchanged a few letters with my sister. My sister's letters are all about peace, good things, how good the food is, how well she dresses, and how comfortable she is. I was very happy to read these letters, and once thought that my sister had found a good home, and although she was a concubine, as long as she could eat well and dress well, there was nothing wrong with living in peace. But on the third day after Childe went to Beihai, my sister sent a letter to someone, which said...... The letter said...... She had already left Zhao Fangzheng and said she wanted to see me. So, I went to see her, but as soon as I saw my sister's face, slave ...... The slave could barely believe his eyes. Sister She ...... She ......" Lan Xinhui choked up again and hid her face and cried bitterly.

Wang Yuan said softly: "Miss Lan, go on, what's wrong with your sister?" ”

Lan Xinhui stopped her grief, sighed and said in a trembling voice: "My sister is lying alone in the old mansion of her son, skinny and skinny. I didn't even dare to look at her more. She was covered in bruises, bruises, purple, blue, purple. There are also a lot of burn scars, whip scars...... I...... I don't even recognize her. ”

Wang Yuan and the other three listened to her babbling upside down, and their bodies began to chill.

"I asked my sister what was going on, and she didn't say anything, not a word. I didn't want to irritate her too much, so I asked people to come back and report to Twelve Niang that they would stay with my sister to take care of her. But I only said that my sister was sick, but I didn't elaborate on the reason. ”

Li Xin'er nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't think much about it at the time, it is common for your sisters to meet and get together for a few days, not to mention that your sister is still sick." I asked someone to send you some money and goods so that you could take care of your sister with peace of mind, but I didn't know that the situation was so serious. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Is the scar on Sister Ling's body the one that Zhao Fangzheng did?" Did he torture Sister Ling to the point of dying? ”

Lan Xinhui shook her head and said: "I thought so at first, but soon I found out that the scars on her body were not the most terrible, the terrible thing was that my sister seemed to have experienced some special fright and excitement, and she had nightmares every night, screaming and crying. No matter how much I asked, she wouldn't answer. She couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep, and sometimes she stared at the roof without saying a word, which was very scary. I invited a lot of Langzhong, but they all said that they didn't know the cause, and only prescribed some calming medicine for her to recuperate. But in the end, I could only watch her lose weight day by day, and die day by day. ”

Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said, "Why didn't you tell us earlier?" We've always only been Sister Ling, just holding on to her illness. ”

Lan Xinhui said in a low voice: "After Gongzi returned to Beijing, I was going to ask Gongzi for help, but I heard that Gongzi was very busy, and Gongzi ordered someone to send money, materials and medicines, and asked the good man in the capital to come for treatment, so I did not inform Gongzi of these situations, so as not to delay Gongzi's time in private affairs." Early yesterday morning, my sister seemed to be getting better, and I drank some gruel when I got up in the morning, I thought my sister had finally escaped this catastrophe, but I didn't expect that it was the image of returning to the light. ”

"After breakfast, my sister wanted to comb her hair and wash her face, so I took her to the yard to bask in the sun and comb her hair and face for her. At that time, my sister finally told me what she had suffered, my miserable sister, what terrible things had happened to her, those who had harmed her, and I begged my son to avenge my sister by breaking them into pieces one by one. Even if the slave needs to do anything, the slave is willing to do it, because these beasts are simply not worthy of being human. ”

Lan Xinhui was emotional, gritted her silver teeth, her breathing became short, her eyes erupted with anger, and she said loudly.

Wang Yuan stepped forward, squatted beside her, reached out and stroked her shoulder, and comforted her in a low voice: "Say it, your business is my business, don't worry, I will definitely make the decision for you." ”
