In the afternoon, the sun climbed up to the center, the sun was cloudy, and the whole person was warm, Zheng Wan stretched her body, and practiced in the bamboo forest for a while at noon, the internal force kept circulating in the body, and the meridians were smoother a lot. I haven't seen each other in a few days.

"Miss." Qiu Qi on the side saw that Zheng Wan was well and hurriedly handed over the handkerchief.

Zheng Wan took it and wiped her sweat lightly, "You go and prepare some pastries, I'll visit my sister-in-law later." She is now the center of the family, and she is precious, so she should go and see it. ”

"No, let's go." Qiu Qi quickly got a box of snacks, exquisite and good-looking, really a capable assistant, Ning Yan couldn't help but comment on Qiu Qi in his heart.

Zheng Wan's courtyard was far away from the east courtyard, and she walked for a while while pacing. Zheng Wan was wearing a cloak on her body, blocking a lot of wind. The day was getting cooler and deeper.

The east courtyard is much larger than the west courtyard, and the layout is more exquisite, and there are already guards guarding the door.

"Third Miss." Xiao Ruo, who was in the courtyard of the eldest prince, saw Zheng Wan, hurriedly walked to the door and saluted briefly. "Third Miss, this is to see the young lady. Please wait a moment, and the slave will go and report it. ”

"I'm tired." Zheng Wan took off her cloak and handed it to Qiu Qi. A hint of cool breeze couldn't help but make Zheng Wan tremble.

After a while, Xiao Ruo appeared, "Third Miss, the young lady is invited." ”

"Okay." Zheng Wan smiled. Raising his legs to enter, Qiu Qi followed closely.

"You can't go in." Xiao Ruo unceremoniously stopped Qiu Qi, her eyes were full of disdain, Xiao Ruo is not only a person in the eldest prince's courtyard, but also a first-class maid, if the young lady is not favored, her status may not be higher than her. Qiu Qi's face turned pale, and he could only look at Zheng Wan.

Zheng Wan glanced at Qiu Qi, "You go back to the courtyard first." Zheng Wan didn't force it, she was very white in her heart, Qiu Qi was only a third-class girl in this mansion, and she was not allowed to enter the East Courtyard without permission. At this time, there is no need to upset everyone for this kind of thing. Their current status has been hard to obtain, and if they can't bear it, they will make big plans. Don't draw too much attention.

"No. The slave waited outside the courtyard. Qiu Qi handed the pastry in his hand to Xiao Ruo.

"Go back." Zheng Wan glared at Qiu Qi. This scolding woke up Qiu Qi, Qiu Qi immediately agreed obediently, Miss didn't listen to her words, what is waiting at the door at this time, is it a demonstration? Doesn't this make the young lady ugly, they can only keep a low profile. Qiu Qi couldn't help but curse himself in his heart. "The slave is white." Hand the cloak to the maid beside her. "Sister Lao helped my young lady take off her clothes."

Watching Qiu beg leave, Zheng Wan followed Xiaoruo into the inner courtyard, which was covered with cotton cloth and wrapped very tightly, so as not to let a little wind penetrate it. The earth dragons have been paved, and the whole house is as warm as a spring day. What a thoughtful young lady! Zheng Wan sneered in her heart.

"Sister-in-law." Zheng Wan saluted with a smile. "My sister is too." Zheng Wan looked at Zheng Yue on the side.

Zheng Yue's face flashed with some disdain, "My mother only gave birth to a sister and me, when did she have another sister." ”

Zheng Wan lowered her head and didn't speak, such insults have long been used to it, the more she argues, the more vicious words are waiting for her, even a beating, when she was a child, the second brother can still protect her, and now, there is no one in the Zheng family to cover her up. There is little point in arguing with it pointlessly.

"Oh, I'm still dumb." Zheng Yue covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looked disgusted, stood up, and the mockery in her tone became deeper and deeper.

"No matter what, I'm also my father's daughter, and my sister said this, if my father heard it, I was afraid that he would be angry." Zheng Wan said calmly.

Zheng Yue's face suddenly became ugly, and she walked in front of Zheng Wan. Squinted slightly, "Hmph, sharp teeth, dare to use my father to press me." Who knows if it's a wild species. I'm really curious about how many people your courtesan's mother has been with. ”

Zheng Wan's hand shook and shook in her clothes, but her face remained calm. "Is my sister questioning my father?"

"Yue'er, how can you say that. Surely my father will not like it. Sun Min finally spoke, Ning Yan looked at the young lady of the Zheng family who was leaning on the side of the bed, she seemed gentle, but Ning Yan felt that this woman might not be kinder than Zheng Yue. Zheng Yue didn't say anything more, and approached Sun Min affectionately. "Yes, yes, don't say it, my good sister-in-law."

"Wan'er, I'm glad you came to see me." Sun Min was very enthusiastic, "Sit down, what are you doing standing up." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law. This is what Wan'er should do. Zheng Wan replied respectfully, and sat down according to her words, "The little nephew is about to be born, this is the eldest grandson of our Zheng family." These days, the Zheng family is really happy, and this child is really a lucky star for the Zheng family. Zheng Wan's mouth was like smeared with honey, anyway, there is no need to pay a price for this, how to praise it.

"You have a sweet mouth, I don't know if it's a man or a woman. Although the imperial doctor concluded that he was a young master, he hadn't been born yet. Sun Min couldn't hide his smile.

Then there were some flattering compliments, and Ning Yan looked at everyone here wearing countless masks, which was probably the sadness of the deep mansion compound. Yin and yin don't want to see each other, but they want to deduce sisterhood. Ning Yan pouted helplessly.

"It's time for my sister-in-law to rest, my eldest brother has told me a thousand times, don't let idlers disturb the peace. The child in the womb will also be unhappy. Zheng Yue's intention to chase away customers has been revealed.

"Since my sister-in-law is going to rest, then Wan'er won't bother." Zheng Wan didn't care about Zheng Yue's unkindness, and still maintained respect.

"It hasn't been long since Wan'er came, but I'm really embarrassed. But the child in the womb can't be lazy. If Wan'er is free, remember to come and sit with me. Sun Min smiled and stroked his stomach. A trace of boredom crossed his eyes, he can really act. Ning Yan frowned, she didn't like this girl, she was also her sister-in-law, but she treated her so differently because Zheng Wan's mother's status was humble.

"Wan'er remembers, sister-in-law should rest early, the child is important." Zheng Wan stood up respectfully, saluted, and left the room.

"Sister-in-law, what is polite to her." Before he went far, Zheng Yue's voice had already come out. Zheng Wan smiled disdainfully, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, Ning Yan followed worriedly, Zheng Wan's situation was a little worse than she imagined, and she sighed lightly in her heart. Looking back at the East Courtyard, who else in this courtyard treats Zheng Wan sincerely? Is there really none?

Walking through the corridors, Zheng Wan's heart became more and more desolate, no one remembers this day today, and who still remembers the second son of the Zheng family in his prime.

"Miss." As soon as Qiu Qi saw Zheng Wan entering the courtyard, he hurriedly greeted him and undressed Zheng Wan, "The old man and the third young master have entered the palace." ”

Zheng Wan nodded slightly, went straight into the house, and closed the door. Qiu Qi looked at the closed door, his face was solemn, today is the birthday of the second son, and the young lady must have remembered the second son. After thinking about it, I went to prepare the meal. Those who are alive must continue to live well.

Zheng Wan's originally calm face suddenly became hideous, the hatred in her eyes was no longer hidden, her hand was held tightly, a trace of blood flowed out, and the person slowly sat down along the door, Ning Yan looked at Zheng Wan who was so out of shape at a loss, her heart ached for a while, Zheng Wan, how deep is your hatred. Hatred can't solve the problem, Ning Yan squatted down and brushed Zheng Wan's shoulder.

After a long time, Zheng Wan calmed down, slowly stood up, walked to the desk, opened the dark grid on the wall, and pulled out a scroll of paintings, Ning Yan was puzzled, his eyes became more and more uneasy with the opening of the scroll, the paintings were all unfolded, and what appeared in Ning Yan's eyes was the appearance of Zheng Pingsheng in his mind, Ning Yan looked at the person in the painting blankly, his heart was flustered, a breath surged to his chest, and his body couldn't help but tremble. Zheng Wan, what's wrong with you?

"Brother Pingsheng." Zheng Wan's fingers touched the person in the painting, her fingertips trembled slightly, and tears flowed down uncontrollably, "Brother Pingsheng, I still remember that you always said that I wouldn't paint a portrait for you, I painted, I painted now." You see. Why did you just leave me behind? "Tears slid down the scroll and slowly faded." How can you break your promise, you said you were going to take me out of this place with you, you lied to me. You never lie to me. Zheng Wan whispered.

"Zheng Wan." Ning Yan looked at Zheng Wan in a daze, and then looked at the painting, her heart seemed to be empty, and tears wet her eyes.

After a long time, Zheng Wan's crying gradually stopped, wiped away her tears, and regained her calm, "Second brother, today is your birthday, but no one else in this Taiwei Mansion can still think of you, the second son of the Zheng family." No one! So you are wrong, not all kindness in this world can be reciprocated, you are just a dispensable pawn in their eyes, I hope you are right. As long as one remembers it, I'm willing to try to put it down, but no! Zheng Wan carefully rolled up the scroll, "Second brother, this is a gift I prepared for you." We can only see each other in the afterlife. In the next life, are you still my brother? ”

sighed lightly, took out the brazier, lit the fire, and watched the flames flying, Zheng Wan quietly stared at the picture scroll burning off little by little, Ning Yan felt a little more contradictory in her heart,

"Miss." Qiu Qi knocked on the door.

"Come in." Zheng Wan's voice was a hint of hoarseness.

"Miss, dinner is here." The good dishes of autumn begging are all vegetarian dishes. "I just came back from the Taoist temple today, and I thought that Miss would only eat some vegetarian food, so I only took these." Qiu Qi's eyes caught a glimpse of the brazier that had just been extinguished, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Zheng Wan only ate a small amount, and then stopped the chopsticks in her hand.

"Qiu Qi, you are also tired today, rest early."

"Thank you for your concern." Qiu Qi was much quieter than usual today, silently cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Qiu Qi, you and I have to embark on a road of no return." Zheng Wan slowly walked to the window, looking at the moon outside, Zheng Wan fell into deep thought.

Qiu Qi looked at Zheng Wan quietly, "Qiu Qi will accompany Miss." ”

The two were silent.

After a long time, Qiu Qi took the dishes out of the room. "Miss, rest early."
