Chapter 40: Deep love is shallow
Bai Zonglin said and looked at Aunt Zhao, who had been sitting on the ground since she was pulled in by the Zhao family and his wife, and yelled at her subordinates with a calm face: "Don't bring Aunt Zhao back yet!" ”
Mother Zhao immediately stopped in front of her daughter and shouted, "If you don't save Sheng Tian, we will take Lian'er away!" ”
Bai Zonglin was stunned for a moment, Aunt Zhao was already crying and rushed over and grabbed his arm.
"Master, you can save Sheng Tian for the sake of your relationship with your concubine for many years."
Bai Zonglin glared at her angrily: "You also want me to intercede for Zhao Shengtian?" ”
Aunt Zhao avoided his eyes, crying heartily.
"The concubine doesn't want to embarrass the master, but the father and mother are such a son as the younger brother, if Sheng Tian is really beheaded, they will definitely not let the concubine stay with the master anymore. The master just thought it was for the sake of the concubine, so that Master Song would spare Sheng Tian's life. ”
Bai Zonglin looked at her in disbelief, and Zhou's cold voice came in, "You are a concubine, since you enter the door of the Bai family, you are a member of the Bai family, unless the master doesn't want you, I see who can take you away!" ”
When everyone heard the voice, Bai Yanran was helping Zhou to walk in, Bai Zonglin frowned and looked at Bai Yanran, as if he blamed her for bringing Zhou here. Zhou snorted coldly: "Don't blame Yan'er girl, the movement is so big, I heard it in Shou'an Hospital." ”
Bai Zonglin said embarrassedly: "Mother, don't worry about these trivial matters when you are old, your son can handle it." ”
Zhou sat on the top and didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Aunt Zhao and sneered: "Your good brother has done the evil thing of robbing money and killing people, and it is still our Bai family's aunt and grandmother, you still have the face to plead for him?" ”
Aunt Zhao had to deal with Zhou Zhou's heart, her heart was full of resentment, but she only said submissively: "Old lady, Sheng Tian is also your nephew, you know him, he doesn't have the courage and is not a really vicious person, he just made a big mistake when he was confused." ”
Zhao's father was also busy on the sidelines, and Zhou didn't look at him, he slapped the table and shouted: "I only know that killing people pays for their lives, and it's right!" ”
Mother Zhao pointed at Zhou's and scolded: "You are a girl who climbs the bed, and now you have forgotten your book when you fly on the branches, and you are also born with a black heart, I am a nest of snakes and rats without a good thing!" ”
Zhou's face changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Come on, drive this country shrew out for me, drive it out!" ”
Zhou is now an old lady, and the most taboo thing is his former background, especially when he is pulled out in such a public, he can't wait to go up and tear Zhao's mother's mouth.
Seeing that the subordinates were going to pull Zhao's mother, Aunt Zhao was busy protecting her mother, and the angry Zhou roared: "Throw this slut who doesn't know how to eat inside and outside with him!" ”
The subordinates all looked at Bai Zonglin, and they didn't dare to make a move on Aunt Zhao for a while, and Zhou yelled at his son: "Until now, do you still have to protect this slut!" ”
Bai Zonglin also attaches the most importance to meeting, and at this moment, the mother and son are both abused in person, and their faces are naturally ugly. He looked at Aunt Zhao and said in a deep voice: "Zhao, you go back to your yard now, no matter what the Zhao family has done in the future, it has nothing to do with you." Otherwise, you can really go back with them. ”
Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, and Mother Zhao on the side had already pinched her arm and screamed: "If you dare to go, a dead girl, I won't recognize you as a daughter!" ”
Mother Gu hurriedly grabbed Aunt Zhao's other arm, and said in shock: "Auntie, you have to think clearly, you can't come back this time, you don't plan for yourself, you have to think about the eldest lady." ”
Bai Yanran looked at the good show in front of her and said, "Didn't you hear the old lady's words?" Don't get the outsiders out yet! ”
Aunt Zhao watched her parents being dragged away by life, and looked at Bai Zonglin, who was watching coldly, and really wanted to turn her head and follow with a ruthless heart, but she really couldn't give up her daughter and the good life of this Bai Mansion. The mother's scolding in the distance gradually faded away, but Aunt Zhao felt that she was still echoing in her heart in this courtyard.
She felt that everyone in the house was watching her jokes and laughing at herself. She also knew that Sheng Tian had done something wrong, but Sheng Tian was the only male in the family and the only incense in the Zhao family, and she couldn't watch her younger brother be beheaded no matter what.
Bai Zonglin breathed a sigh of relief and said again: "Don't send Aunt Zhao back to Huixin Courtyard yet!" ”
Gu's mother hurriedly pulled Aunt Zhao away, Zhou snorted coldly, pointed at Bai Zonglin and said, "You, you, you're on this woman!" ”
After saying that, he left in a huff, and Bai Yanran also went with him, but went straight to Zhaohe Courtyard. In the Zhaohe Courtyard, the Qi family was sitting in the room, and when he saw his daughter coming back, he hurriedly asked, "Your father didn't let go of his mouth for a while, right?" ”
Bai Yanran said with a smile: "Mother is too worried, even if Daddy loves Aunt Zhao again, he will not touch this mold, and with her grandmother here, Aunt Zhao can't make any waves." ”
Qi nodded and said, "That's good, that's good." ”
After that, she wanted to speak and stopped, how could Bai Yanran say: "What else does my mother have to worry about?" ”
Qi sighed: "Shi Yang is also pitiful, he lost his father when he was young, this orphan and widow depend on each other, and now even his mother has gone, he can't accept it for a while, and he hasn't eaten water and rice for three days, and he won't listen to anyone's advice." Even if there is no marriage contract, you are cousins, and if you go and persuade him, maybe he will listen to him a little bit, and don't get out of his body. ”
Bai Yanran nodded, and said calmly: "What my mother said is, then I will go and persuade my cousin." ”
Ji Lingyun had been following Bai Yanran to watch the excitement since just now, and when she heard that she was going to see Song Shiyang, she immediately jumped out and stopped Bai Yanran at the door, lying on her embroidered shoes and couldn't get up, Bai Yanran had no choice but to go to the kitchen with him.
Bai Yanran rolled up her sleeves, personally cooked a few light side dishes and white porridge, and went to the Song Mansion in a food box. The Bai family has been buried, but the mansion is still plain, and the people in the mansion will subconsciously slow down when they pass by the lord's wing.
When Bai Yanran went, Song Shiyang was sitting in the room in a daze, and he didn't even notice that someone came in, until Bai Yanran opened his mouth to call him, and he woke up like a dream. Song Shiyang looked up and saw that it was Bai Yanran, and the look in his eyes lit up, and then dimmed.
"Yan... Cousin Ran, why are you here? ”
Bai Yanran smiled faintly and said, "Mother is a little worried about you, let me take a look." ”
Song Shiyang was silent, raised his head and looked at her with burning eyes: "What about you?" ”
Bai Yanran's expression was as usual, and she said calmly: "Naturally, I'm also worried about my cousin. I heard that my cousin forgot to sleep and eat for my aunt's funeral, so I specially prepared a few light side dishes, and my cousin used some of them. ”
Seeing Bai Yanran distributing vegetables on the table, Song Shiyang's eyes were hot, and he picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites silently, barely showing a smile.
"I never knew you were good at cooking...... Just like I never guessed your mind. ”
He looked up at Bai Yanran, his voice hoarse.
"Uncle Wu, the housekeeper, has told me everything that happened in these days, and I know that you have been wronged. It's my mother who is confused, and I apologize to you on her behalf. ”
Bai Yanran shook her head and said: "The deceased is gone, right and wrong grievances are all in the past, so there is no need to mention it again." ”
Song Shiyang nodded and said, "That's fine." Now I have a filial piety period, and I can't marry for three years, and our marriage contract won't delay my cousin, you ......"
He looked up at Bai Yanran, and there was a little confusion in his expression.
"Yanran, I have been in love with you since I first saw you, but you have always been very cold to me, even if we have talked about marriage later, I have never felt your heart. Even though you've never had any transgressions, I always feel ...... You already have someone else in mind, right? ”
Ji Lingyun in her arms obviously noticed that Bai Yanran's body was stiff for a moment, and couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly.
Bai Yanran looked as usual, shook her head and said, "Cousin is too worried, but fate has not yet arrived between us." Even if she can't be a husband and wife, Yanran hopes that her cousin can live well, and her aunt's spirit in the sky must not want her cousin to continue to languish, just to reassure her aunt and ask her cousin to cheer up. ”
Song Shiyang slowly closed his eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
Bai Yanran's expression was a little dazed when she came out of the Song family, and what Song Shiyang said just now kept echoing in her ears.
You already have someone else in mind, don't you?
In the Mid-Autumn Festival when Bai Yanran was eight years old, the emperor authorized hundreds of officials to bring their wives and daughters into the palace to participate in the night banquet.
Although Bai Yanran was rescued, she cried even more fiercely, because her clothes were wet, and she would definitely be scolded by her mother when she returned to the banquet. Ji Lingyun couldn't cry because of her, and she didn't know where to steal a dress similar to her size for her to change into, so she coaxed her to go back to the banquet for her mother.
Of course, after changing her clothes, the Qi family could naturally see it, so she was still scolded when she went back, and she also knew that the good-looking brother who saved her was Ji Lingyun, the fifth prince of the queen's concubine, and he was a noble person who she couldn't climb at all.
Later, it was many years after they met again, both of them had changed, and Ji Lingyun had long forgotten the embarrassed little girl back then. He treated her politely and detached, she was polite and polite to him, there was a world of difference between them, Bai Yanran hid that affection in her heart, and never dared to think about it.
But Xu is Song Shiyang's affection for herself, so she can detect some clues that even she is not aware of. If this is the case, if in his previous life he had always been aware of something else in his heart, then it would not be surprising that he would easily believe the rumors that he eloped with someone on the day of his wedding.
It turned out that he had misunderstood him all along.
This was the case in the previous life, and the same is true in this life, it can only be said that the real fate between them is too shallow.
Back in the room, Bai Yanran unconsciously thought of Ji Lingyun, remembered the inexplicable encounters between them in this life, and remembered his gentle smile on herself, and her heart was a little upset.
She silently opened the cabinet under the dresser and took out a river lamp from it, Ji Lingyun leaned over curiously, and saw that the name on the lamp was the word "Lingyun".
