Chapter 52: The Bottom Line
Wei Xingzhen looked at Feng Yan, "Remember." ”
"At the beginning, it was just an unintentional word, He Gong and his wife were ordered to be beheaded, and now His Majesty has secretly sent someone to kill He Kui to prevent future troubles in order to protect himself, what a serious thing...... Lord Wei also involved me for no reason, don't you know what the consequences will be once this matter is exposed? ”
“…… Know. ”
"Then why?" Feng Yan frowned, "Are you sure that I am afraid of the Holy Fury, so I will accompany you to fulfill this lie?" ”
Wei Xingzhen walked in front of Feng Yan with a lantern.
"There are three reasons for this.
"One, Dijan and I are good friends, and I can't help him when he is in danger; Second, He Kui is also a pianist I admire very much, and I can't bear to see him die like this. ”
Wei Xingzhen paused, "Third, and most importantly, I know that if the same choice is placed in front of Ah Yan, you will do the same thing with me." ”
Feng Yan frowned slightly.
…… Not again.
Whether she would do the same thing, Feng Yan didn't know.
But this inexplicable feeling of being insightd.
It's very ...... Accurate.
A gust of night wind swept by, Wei Xingzhen looked in the direction where the wind came, there were dark clouds in the distance, maybe there was wind and rain in the second half of the night.
"It's windy again, we-"
Feng Yan lowered her eyes and suddenly walked forward quickly.
She didn't care what deep and shallow puddles there were on the ground, just stepped on the water and quickly walked in the direction of the small building.
Wei Xingzhen didn't react for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him with a lamp.
“…… Ah Yan, you wait for me. ”
Feng Yan not only did not look back, but her pace sped up a little.
……
In the distance, on the second floor of the small building, I even saw the figures of Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen, and I couldn't help but turn around and shout.
"Have you all changed it? The man is already in front of the courtyard, and he is about to return! ”
After a loud noise.
"I'm fine here."
"I'm—"
"Wait...... All right! ”
Outside the small building, Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen stepped on the bluestone road not far from here by moonlight.
In the small building, there are not four people who go to Shi, Luxury, and Taihe, and they are already holding the cups, tablecloths, and bed sheets that have been replaced from the small building...... And so a big basket of things, quietly left the backyard.
The four of them ran quickly to another courtyard, and only stopped to rest until the small building completely disappeared from their field of vision.
“…… You say, why didn't you inform us earlier tonight? He glanced at it complainingly, "This time is too tight, what if I am hit by my wife?" ”
"In the afternoon, my wife was sitting outside, and I don't know how long she would sit, maybe she will come back in a moment, how dare I call you at that time." I wiped the sweat from my forehead without any danger, "It's night, and I'm going to see the injury of Zhenguo Gong again, and I can't take care of it for a while, so my wife can use the time when the adults come back in the guest house." ”
He was the thinnest of the four, he fell directly into the basket under him, and said weakly, "There are too many things, too heavy...... Next time, if we want to change all the things in the small building at once, let's shout together. He has a lot of strength. ”
"No way!" He immediately shook his head, "This kind of delicate work can only be done by the four of us, don't worry about that big old man, you have to beat all the cups when you go into the house and turn around......"
Nearby went to Tai stunned, "There is a next time??? ”
"Of course there is," said Qu Shi, "My lord has ordered, but whenever the seventh lady of the Feng Mansion comes, the things in the small building will have to be changed once, especially the cups that the wife can use, as well as pillows, sheets, bedding and other intimate things...... Anyone who has been touched by Miss Seven must be replaced. ”
"Ah, why?"
"Why do you ask so much...... Your Excellency has told you, just do it! ”
……
On the other side, Wei Xingzhen had already chased Feng Yan back to the courtyard of the small building.
Feng Yan took off her shoes and socks and ran up to the second floor in the dark.
After Wei Xingzhen entered the house, she lit the lamp on the first floor, and then put out the lantern and put it aside.
"Ah Yan, Ah Yan," Wei Xingzhen shouted from the staircase on the first floor, "Are you angry with me?" ”
A dull voice came from upstairs, "No." ”
"Can I come up then?"
"No."
Wei Xingzhen stood in place for a while.
Although he is indeed not very good at discerning people's moods, Feng Yan ......
I must be angry.
Wei Xingzhen was silent for a while, then raised her head and asked, "Hmm...... But what are you angry about? ”
There was no answer upstairs.
……
That night, Wei Xingzhen lay alone on the edge of the bed in the bedroom on the first floor, as usual.
He knew that Feng Yan hadn't slept, because on the ceiling above his head, there would be very light footsteps from time to time.
I don't know what Ah Yan is doing, she doesn't sleep so late.
Wei Xingzhen folded her hands and pillowed behind her head, her eyes following Feng Yan's footsteps upstairs.
On the second floor of the small building, Feng Yan was still stepping barefoot on the floor of the attic as before.
The moonlight shone in along the edge of the window, leaving a square band of light on the ground, and she walked slowly along the edge of the moonlight, each foot stepping on it with precision half darkness, half whiteness.
She was really annoyed, though she couldn't tell what she was upset about.
But when I think of Wei Xingzhen, there will be a wave of irritability in my heart for no reason.
She didn't understand why this person always hit her heart so often.
For example, I talked about Yin Shiyun this morning.
In all fairness, Feng Yan really can't say categorically that she has already cut off her feelings for Yin Shiyun.
Except for Yin Shiyun, she can't seem to imagine the scene of spending the rest of her life with others.
Yin Shiyun's position in her heart is like a huge ruin, although it has been deserted, it has always occupied a position. No one, not even herself, seemed to be able to clean it up.
Another example is the He Kui mentioned earlier.
Wei Xingzhen is not right at all - if she really has a chance to save this violinist from Sun Youwei, she really hopes that she can have the courage to reach out and rescue.
But it's just hope.
If it did happen, would she really go to the rescue?
Does she really dare to gamble on her own fate and even her family's fate in this matter?
Feng Yan was apprehensive in her heart, and she didn't pay attention, and stepped into the moonlight.
She stopped her pointless game, turned slowly, and walked slowly to the mirror by the wall.
In the dim room, Feng Yan looked at herself in the mirror silently, her hand slowly swiped along the mirror, and then retracted her sleeve.
She slowly had an answer in her heart.
Admittedly, it is a risk to go further in this matter, and it is an ordeal to take a step back, so it is a dilemma.
Feng Yan often does risky things, and often the more precious the things she wants, the higher the risks she has to take.
can take such a big risk to save a person whose mother has been used as a negative teaching material since childhood and who has never met her...... And for what?
Perhaps, for nothing.
This is a kind of justice in the world that is close to the bottom line, and a tempered fuqin person like He Kui should not have a suffocating ending.
Thinking of this, Feng Yan felt that the weight in her heart was a little lighter.
That...... Is it the same for Wei Xingzhen?
