Chapter 12 Someone is walking on thin ice
On the way back, Feng Yan breathed a sigh of relief. That's how it was given. It doesn't seem to be as tangled as it seems.
She looked out the window a little distractedly, and she didn't know if Wei Xingzhen would be as dazed as she was at the beginning after seeing the things in the box, and she didn't know what to do Feng Yan held her forehead and smiled a little unconsciously.
She didn't know how to deal with that situation, so she subconsciously ran away. Although it is a bit of a feeling of digging a pit and burying it, it is better to let Wei Xingzhen calm down alone for a while.
The next thing to do is to wait for him to adjust his mentality and come to the door to talk about it. Along the way, Feng Yan was thinking about tonight's events, so much so that Feng Yuandao and Li Shi opened their mouths to talk to her several times, and she was a little late-sighted, and she always had to wait for Li Shi to call her name again and again before she raised her head and asked blankly
"What," Lee sighed.
"Forget it, let's talk about it when we get back." Li sighed,
"You're so reluctant every time you go out," the carriage sped through the streets. When Feng Yan arrived home, Wulang and Xiaoqi had not returned.
Li took the maid beside him and followed Feng Yan all the way back to her small courtyard. She talked all the way about the Cen family's interesting stories after Cen Lingju was locked up in Daizong Mountain, Feng Yan lowered her eyes and thought about her thoughts, but she didn't pay attention.
Whenever Li asked her about her attitude, she always nodded and replied softly
"Yes." She looked ahead, still thinking about everything related to Wei Xingzhen. I don't know when Wei Xingzhen will come again, if she refuses to show up for three or five days, she can wait.
But if he didn't come for ten days and half a month, Feng Yan thought about it and pushed open the door of his courtyard. Wei Xingzhen's face was serious, her hands fell to her side, and she stood in the center of her small courtyard so steadily.
Feng Yan snorted, and closed the door tightly before Li could see the vision.
"What's wrong," Li was startled by the sudden closing of the door.
"Yes, moth." Feng Yan replied a little stumblingly,
"It kind of scared me." Lee's is a little strange,
"The summer is over, how can there be moths." She stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard gate again, and the courtyard was empty, not to mention moths, and she couldn't even hear the slightest insect chirp.
"Maybe I flew somewhere else." Feng Yan said in a low voice. Li asked the young maid to wait in the courtyard, while he and his daughter went into the house alone.
After entering the house, Feng Yan obviously felt that Wei Xingzhen was nearby, but she couldn't tell which direction the other party was in for a while.
Li lit the lamp in the room, and then quietly sat down next to Feng Yan.
"Yan'er, I haven't asked much about you, but there are some things that my mother has to ask now."
"You say." Although there was no one around, Li still lowered his voice,
"What happened between you and Wei Xingzhen, why did you come back suddenly" Feng Yan was a little embarrassed,
"Me"
"Mother knows that my Yan'er is not a girl who is easy to play tricks," Li said in a low voice.
"You suddenly ran home alone and lived for so many days, locking yourself in the house day and night, my mother can guess that you must have encountered something very tricky." Feng Yan nodded.
"I also know that you have always been a person with ideas, since you didn't speak, my mother won't ask." Lee's slight eyebrows,
"But what's the matter with you and Wei Xingzhen tonight, did he do anything to make you sad before, and secretly used some tricks to coax you to change your mind," Feng Yan shook her head again and again, she finally understood why her mother had to come over alone tonight to talk to her.
's mother was probably worried that she was not deeply involved, and found out that Wei Xingzhen had done something bad, and was coaxed by his rhetoric
"Nope." Feng Yan replied.
"Then why" Before Li's words fell, there was a sound of the vine trellis falling. Feng Yan followed the sound and stood up with the table,
"I'll take a look, and my mother will sit down for a while." Li nodded and said,
"Light a lantern." Feng Yan stepped into the backyard, turned around and closed the door, and at this moment, a familiar shadow flashed in front of her from the side.
Feng Yan instinctively took a step back, but then lightly slammed into the pillar behind her.
"Ah Yan." She raised her head, just in time to meet Wei Xingzhen's approaching eyes. Wei Xingzhen's voice was very low, and there was a little uneasiness in her eyes.
"I, I" Feng Yan heard that Wei Xingzhen's breathing was a little chaotic at the moment, and she also looked at his anxious and eager expression in her eyes.
Strange to say, Feng Yan herself was originally a little nervous, however, when she saw Wei Xingzhen's appearance of walking on thin ice and having nothing to do at the moment, she couldn't tell why, and she suddenly seemed to have a lot of confidence in her heart.
Feng Yan raised her sleeves, tentatively reached out, and patted Wei Xingzhen's head lightly. Wei Xingzhen raised her eyes in some surprise.
"Don't worry," Feng Yan looked at him seriously and said in a very soft voice,
"We have a long time left tonight." Wei Xingzhen's throat moved, looking at Feng Yan's uninteresting gaze, the possibility he was most afraid of disappeared in an instant.
He was still a little incredulous, just staring at Feng Yan's eyes tightly, wanting to confirm more information from this gentle gaze.
But Feng Yan didn't speak again. He took a deep breath and leaned over to rest his forehead on Feng Yan's shoulder.
"How long will it take you here?" I really don't want to wait for a moment. Feng Yan thought about it and was about to answer, when she heard Li's footsteps coming from inside the house, and the door was pushed open almost the next moment.
Li looked at his daughter standing in the corridor with some strange eyes,
"Why is you standing here alone," Feng Yan came back to her senses, and Wei Xingzhen ran too fast.
"Because I saw that the shelf where the vine was planted had fallen." Feng Yan pointed to the overturned flower stand in the corner and explained to her mother,
"Then a large piece of it has been turned over, I think I probably can't cook it alone, or I might as well wait until tomorrow morning to watch it." Li Shi was a little surprised,
"Hey, how could the flower stand be overturned."
"It's the wind." Feng Yan replied with a smile. After that, Feng Yan and her mother went back to the house. She took a good look at her mental journey during this time, and talked with emotion about the scene of seeing Changling on the mountain, and said that she felt infinite sorrow when she thought that no matter how noble she was in life, she would eventually turn into a handful of loess after death.
At that time, she just wanted to go back to her small courtyard, and she didn't want to see anyone, so she came back. Lee will be skeptical of this answer.
But seeing that Feng Yan said so sincerely, she reluctantly believed it, after all, her daughter's temperament has been different from that of the girl next to her since she was a child.
Feng Yan said in a low voice,
"Watching the lanterns with Lord Wei tonight, I felt that these sorrows were diluted a little by the fireworks by the Luoshui side, and now I feel much better." When Li heard this, he finally relaxed a little.
"I see." Feng Yan tilted her head sideways and smiled,
"Although I have known Wei Xingzhen for a short time, during this period of time, I do feel that he is an upright person, and my mother does not have to worry too much about his character." Li Shi was noncommittal, but finally showed some smiles on his face,
"You." When sending his mother out, Li talked about the clothes on Wei Xingzhen's body today were not the new clothes made for him by the previous family, Feng Yan sighed in her heart that the mother-in-law in the previous life looked at her son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye, but now it is completely reversed.
Wei Xingzhen's image of slander is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and I don't know how to get this impression back.
Waving goodbye to her mother and closing the courtyard door again, Feng Yan sighed softly. Turning around, Wei Xingzhen really stood in front of the door of her house again, waiting without saying a word.
As the autumn wind gradually rose, Feng Yan stared at the person in front of her, and suddenly realized that Wei Xingzhen was a completely different person from her in this regard.
When she pushed herself and others to think that Wei Xingzhen would have to chew alone for a while before she could be mentally prepared, he came directly.
Even if he was a little flustered, he came straight away. Feng Yan was a little stunned, is this or a kind of trust, Wei Xingzhen on the other side was a little uncomfortable by this gaze, Feng Yan stood there so far away, he couldn't tell for a while, whether her silence was because of jealousy, suspicion of herself, or something else.
He frowned, and couldn't help but ask,
"Why hasn't Ah Yan come over yet" Feng Yan bowed her head and took a few steps closer, and then stopped in front of Wei Xingzhen,
"Do something for me"
"What."
"Go and get a bucket of water from the well over there." Feng Yan looked into his eyes and said with a smile,
"Let's talk while we drink tea, okay?"
