Chapter 239: A Woman's War
"Miss, morning."
"Fairy Mu, early."
In the garden of Chengfu, Cheng Caixi and Murong walked side by side among the flowers, like a pair of fairies who had descended from the Heavenly Palace.
Murong was still as usual, exuding a coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away, but Cheng Caixi seemed to be a different person, taciturn, his eyes were blank, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.
It's not just her, the people who originally saw the fairy were like being beaten with chicken blood, and they didn't have the previous enthusiasm, they were all depressed, just greeted like puppets, and then continued their busy day.
Tang An's departure seemed to have sucked away all the anger of the Cheng Mansion, making this mansion, which was originally filled with laughter and laughter every day, become lifeless.
The two walked silently along a cobblestone path, Cheng Caixi greatly changed his previous enthusiasm, neither asked for martial arts, nor continued to tell Mu Rong about the anecdotes of the capital over the years, but just looked at the place where he was originally noisy with Tang An.
Mu Rong didn't care about any of this, she was just curious about where the guy who had promised to find the three flavors for herself had gone. Seeing that Cheng Caixi didn't speak, she had no choice but to break the silence first and said, "What about Tang An?" I haven't seen him for the past few days. ”
Hearing this name that he had been avoiding, Cheng Caixi involuntarily stopped.
Every time I think of that rainy night, my merciless sword, and Tang An's eyes that look at him like ashes, Cheng Caixi's heart is as uncomfortable as a pinprick.
That look was full of despair, disappointment, coldness, and no emotion, which made her extremely strange and extremely remorseful. How she wished it was just a dream, but when she woke up from the dream, she could no longer hear the ruffian "eldest lady", and she could no longer see the person with the crooked little hat, so Cheng Caixi woke up: the guy who ran around after she shouted "I'll kill you" could never come back.
Cheng Caixi wanted to cry, but couldn't.
Did you do something wrong? Obviously, he betrayed the Cheng family, she should be very angry. But why do you regret that sword? Why is it so sad?
That sword... He could have dodged it!
"He's gone."
Although she tried her best to hide it, Cheng Caixi's tone still had a sadness that she had never felt before.
"Gone?" Mu Rong frowned, "Where did you go?" ”
"I don't know where he went, only that... He won't come back. ”
It seemed that he heard Cheng Caixi's voice was wrong, Mu Rong turned his head to take a look, and found that Cheng Caixi's eyes were full of tears, and after a while, the big tears finally couldn't be suppressed anymore and fell like pearls.
"Sister, he will never come back! I stabbed him, and it hurt so much that I stabbed him! ”
Cheng Caixi couldn't hold back any longer, pointed to his chest and said, I don't know if it hurts Tang An or in his heart.
It was rare to express the emotions that had been held in her heart for several days, Cheng Caixi couldn't bear it anymore, and threw herself on Mu Rong and cried. That heart-rending sound is heartbreaking just to hear it.
Mu Rong was shocked and said, "What happened?" ”
"I thought he could dodge, but he just stood there, not moving! Why didn't he dodge? It rained so hard and he was injured again... I don't know where he went back... I really don't know..."
Cheng Caixi replied unexpectedly, venting the pain hidden in his heart.
"He said I stabbed him twice... A sword stabbed in the body, a sword stabbed in the heart... But Sister Murong, do you know..."Cheng Caixi choked up, grabbing the placket on his chest: "My heart hurts so much, it really hurts!" ”
Mu Rong patted Cheng Caixi's shoulder, becoming more and more confused. Although Cheng Caixi's words were abrupt, one thing is certain: Tang An has been expelled from the Cheng family. So if he asks him to find medicine, will he continue to do it?
"Miss..."
The maid Cuizhu didn't know when she entered the garden, and when she saw the eldest lady crying sadly, she couldn't help but have red eyes.
Cheng Caixi took a deep breath, barely held back her tears in front of her subordinates, and choked up: "What's the matter?" ”
Cuizhu said: "There is a Liu girl from Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion who said that she was coming to you. ”
Liu Tingge? Cheng Caixi's heart trembled, as if she felt something, and hurriedly wiped the tears on her face and said, "Let her in." ”
After Cuizhu left, Cheng Caixi wiped her eyes vigorously and said to Mu Rong: "Sister, is my appearance ugly?" ”
Mu Rong thought about it and nodded slightly.
Although he didn't want to weaken his momentum in front of Liu Tingge, compared to being able to find out Tang An's news, Cheng Caixi still snorted and said, "If it's ugly, it's ugly." ”
It didn't take long for Cuizhu to lead Liu Tingge, who was dressed in a blue shirt, to the back garden.
The snow-haired willow Tingge looks like a blooming snow lotus, but now this snow lotus exudes a faint chill.
"Miss Liu." Cheng Caixi greeted first.
Seeing that Cheng Caixi's complexion was not very good, and her eyes were red and swollen, she had obviously just cried, so she couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Miss Cheng, we meet again." ”
He looked at Mu Rong next to him, who looked like a fairy in the Moon Palace, and saluted: "This must be the heir of the world-famous Snow Mountain. ”
Mu Rong bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Cheng Caixi said: "Miss Liu, I don't know if you came to me today, is it because of Tang An's matter?" Is Tang An in Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion now? ”
Liu Qingge nodded and said, "The slave family came today to want to know what happened. ”
Cheng Caixi sighed, and told the story of what happened that day, and heard that Mu Rong and Liu Qinge's faces changed.
Mu Rong lowered his head and pondered, although he had not been with Tang An for a long time, but thinking of what he did on weekdays, he didn't look like a traitor seeking glory. With his current status as a special envoy, if he is greedy for money, why should he continue to commit himself to being a little scholar in Cheng Mansion?
Liu Tingge was furious and said, "Miss Cheng, you have been with Tang An for so long, and you still doubt his personality, Tingge is so disappointed in your Cheng family!" ”
Cheng Caixi knew that she couldn't lose face, and said, "Miss Liu, this is my Cheng family's family matter, and I don't bother you with it." Besides, the evidence was conclusive, and he refused to explain, so how could I trust him? ”
"So you stabbed him? So you can wipe out all Tang An's credit to your Cheng family? "I heard that the sword was made by Cheng Caixi, and Liu Tiange trembled with anger." Miss Cheng, do you know how much income is from the art of singing and Su Meier? That day, the mother wanted to give half to Tang An, but he politely declined. And that half is more than a hundred taels of gold! If he is greedy for money, how can he be willing to be your scholar! ”
As the so-called authorities, the bystanders are clear. Cheng Caixi saw the house full of gold that day, and thought of the theft of the Cheng family, no matter how you look at it, it was all done by Tang An, but he forgot that Tang An is not only the emperor's envoy now, but also one of the four talents in the capital, and he is in the limelight for a while. If he wants money, why should he take the risk of taking this path?
With Tang An's ingenuity, he would never do anything to cut off his own back road. Is there anything hidden in this?
However, regarding Liu Qingge's aggressiveness, Cheng Caixi said: "This matter, my Cheng family will find out." If Tang An is really wronged, I will give him justice. ”
"Give him justice? How to return? Liu Qingge took a step forward and was unforgiving: "First hurt the person's body, and then tell him that he wronged him and ask him to come back, is this what you call justice for him?" Do you think he's a cat or a dog? ”
"Miss Liu! This is the Cheng family, Tang An is still a member of my Cheng family, please respect yourself! Cheng Caixi said angrily.
"Not anymore." Liu Qingge said, "I came today to tell you: Tang An is now the chief musician of my Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion, and he will have nothing to do with the Cheng family from now on!" ”
After hearing this, Cheng Caixi's face instantly turned pale. She knew that Tang An would definitely hate herself, but she didn't expect the revenge to come so quickly and so suddenly.
From now on, will you be a stranger to him?
Liu Qingge ignored Cheng Caixi, biting her lip and her face was gloomy, and said: "Indeed, Tang An was just a poor scholar with no identity and no status, but the hero doesn't ask where he comes from. Since he came to the Cheng family, what is not for your sake? The Academy's Theory, Fighting the Witch with Wisdom, Saving the Begonia, Lushan Poetry Club... These well-known jokes on the street have added much glory to your Cheng family! ”
Aside from his grades, although he is not a good person on weekdays, he is kind and sincere, he never tells others about his own sorrows, and always infects everyone around him with happiness. With this one person, what more can a husband ask for? The more Liu Qinge spoke, the more excited he became, and he even pointed at Cheng Caixi and said: "But your Cheng family is good, not only do you cherish it, but when he needs the trust of others, you doubt him, slander him, and even stab him!" Have you ever wondered how much pain he was in at the time? Have you ever wondered how sad it can be to be hurt by someone closest to you? Can you imagine what it is like to be a delirious person lying on a sickbed with a burn, but even talking in his sleep, 'Miss, I didn't do it'? ”
"Say no more! Stop it! ”
Cheng Caixi covered her ears, she had been pretending to be strong, and listened to Liu Tingge tell about a Tang An she didn't know at all, and tears flowed down her eyes.
Yes, this guy is always heartless on weekdays, but who has he talked to about his heart? If he was wronged, what kind of bitterness and pain would it be in the face of the accusations of the Cheng family, whom he regarded as his relatives?
No wonder, no wonder he didn't explain it at all. The heart is dead, what's the use of talking about some superfluous?
Liu Tingge's chest rose and fell, obviously angry. But seeing Cheng Caixi crying with pear blossoms and rain, he thought that he also had feelings for Tang An, his anger eased slightly, and he turned around and was about to leave.
"Miss Cheng, you don't know him, but I treat him as a treasure." Liu Qingge paused and said, "If you lose him, you will definitely regret it." ”
When Liu Tingge's delicate back disappeared, Cheng Caixi no longer had her original heroic appearance, and fell to the ground with a "poof" and said, "Sister, you tell me... What should I do..."
