As the sky gradually brightened, the golden sun hidden behind the flowing clouds in the east gradually split the golden brilliance into dazzling brocade, crossing the wind, breaking through the shackles of the clouds, and shining on the entire Chaoyun City.

The golden streamer jumped on the eaves of the green daisy, clinging to the yellow roses growing on the wall of the mansion, the spring breeze blew, the flower shadow floated, and the boudoir lady in the wall did not know whether she was swinging, waiting for the flower butterfly to fly on the sideburns, and secretly left the spring day that was trapped and locked in the courtyard.

Looking at the Ye family's mansion like this, I could only see those maids who came out one after another, preparing the clothes for the sect master and the disciples who were about to set off.

At this moment, Ye Tingxue was secretly climbing up the wooden chair leaning against the window, standing on tiptoe, and looking into the courtyard at a glance, he could see the swaying shadows of the trees mottled on the ground under the warm sun.

Looking at the mansion wrapped in sunlight, in fact, she hadn't been out of this house for almost half a month. Since the last time she came back from Lingyin Villa, she was punished by her father for falling into the lake and confined in the study for a month, and she was not allowed to set foot outside the house for a month.

Although she was not as unrestricted as her sister in the past, at least she could come and go freely in the house, but now she can't even step out of the door, which really makes her sad and sad for a while. But if she thought that she could make her father Ye Yuanxi angry, she would stay in the house so obediently, not crying or making trouble.

However, children love to play by nature, and she is no exception, but she can't get out of this house, so she has to lie quietly on the edge of the window lattice every day, looking out of the house for a long time, as if she had also gone out to play. Today is no exception, she stared intently at the birds and sparrows outside the window, and her ears were the "rustling" sound of the maids in the house sweeping the fallen leaves.

I only heard someone suddenly call her quietly in a breathy voice: "Ting Xue." “

She came back to her senses, tiptoed in her chair, looked out for a moment, and found that the sound was coming from under the window, and when she saw it, it was her sister Ye Shuangqing.

"Sister." Ye Tingxue was overjoyed, and stretched out her little hand out of the window to touch Ye Shuangqing. Since she was locked up in the house, the maid brought her tea and snacks every day, and Ye Shuangqing only dared to secretly come to see her when Ye Yuanxi was away, so she hadn't played with Ye Shuangqing for a long time.

"Ting Xue, today I am going to Lingyin Villa with my father." Ye Shuangqing grabbed Ye Tingxue's outstretched hand, but she didn't forget to carefully look around to see if anyone found her sneaking here.

Seeing that there was no one around, she continued: "After we leave, you can go outside the house, I have told Uncle Qi and Aunt Lian about this matter, you don't have to worry, Daddy will not know." "Uncle Qi and Aunt Lian mentioned in Ye Shuangqing's mouth are Ye Qi, the housekeeper of Ye Mansion, and Qianlian, the head of the maidservant, respectively, they have loved Ye Shuangqing's two sisters since childhood, and naturally they help protect them everywhere, and they will never tell the truth.

"Sister, will you go to Lingyin Villa to meet that Brother Feng Que?" Ye Tingxue didn't care if she could run outside the house to play at the moment, because when she heard the words Lingyin Villa, she was only thinking about that Feng Que brother, and at this moment she was tilting her head, staring at her sister with a pair of smart eyes, and asked what she thought in her heart.

"Nature." Ye Shuangqing was slightly surprised that Ye Tingxue still remembered that Ge Feng was missing, "What's wrong?" Do you have something you want your sister to bring to that brother? ”

Ye Tingxue thought about it, wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't say anything, "Tingxue doesn't have anything to say, I just hope that I can play with Brother Feng Que again in the future." ”

Then the sister told him this. Ye Shuangqing smiled, she wanted to say a few more words to Ye Tingxue, but she didn't want to walk out of the corridor in a hurry.

"Miss, let's go, my lord is looking for you." The maid said with some eagerness.

"Okay." Ye Shuangqing heard that Ye Yuanxi was looking for her, and she didn't dare to stay longer, for fear that her father would find out that she secretly came to see Ye Tingxue, and then not only would she be punished, but she would also drag Ye Tingxue down, "That Tingxue, my sister is gone." ”

"Hmm." Ye Tingxue nodded, seeing that Ye Shuangqing was leaving, before she had time to take a good look at her sister, she tried her best to tiptoe higher, but her hand wanted to climb the window sill, seeing that she tried her best, but she didn't want to because she was still young and her hands were small, it was difficult to grasp the edge of the window sill, her hand slipped, her body leaned, and the chair under her feet also tilted and fell.

Hearing only a "bang", Ye Tingxue fell heavily from the chair to the ground, and fell hard under the bookcase made of pear blossom wood, only to hit the bookcase with a loud bang, and then swayed a few times, and there was a "jingle bell", and I don't know what fell from it.

Ye Tingxue's painful little face was all wrinkled together, and she was about to stand up on the ground, but she didn't want her little hand to be chrome by a cold thing, she looked down and found that there was a silver lock under her palm, but this silver lock may have become a little dull because of the age it has been put for a long time.

She got up, picked up the silver lock, and looked closely, but she didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

"Second Miss." Suddenly, a voice came to mind outside the house, Ye Tingxue subconsciously put the silver lock into her arms, and when she heard the voice call again, she realized that the voice was Aunt Lian.

"Aunt Lian." She called out happily, "Daddy, are they already gone?" ”

"Yes, Second Miss, you come out to play for a while and eat something." Aunt Lian thought to herself that the master of her house was not at home, so naturally she couldn't control the child, so it was better to let her come out to breathe.

"I ......" Ye Tingxue wanted to agree, but in front of her eyes, she saw the appearance of Lingyin Villa's father beating her that day, and she must have been extremely angry. If you run out of the house without your father's permission and something happens, your father should be angry again.

After thinking about it like this, she finally decided not to go anywhere, so she said to Aunt Lian: "Aunt Lian, I won't go out, if I let my father know, I will be angry again." ”

The person outside the house seemed to be stunned for a moment, and after a while he responded: "Okay then." After that, Aunt Lian frowned and took a deep look at the house, in fact, she didn't know what Ye Tingxue thought, such a young child has lost his mother since he was born, let alone his father's love, but he is so empathetic and sensible. Every time no matter what happens, she suffers by herself, and sometimes she forgets that this child is still so young.

She sighed and shook her head, then turned around and left, preparing today's meal for Ye Tingxue.

After Aunt Lian left, Ye Tingxue slowly got up from the ground, although she was alone in the room, she still subconsciously looked around, as if to make sure that there was no one. Only then did she carefully take the silver lock she had picked up from her arms, raised her hand and looked at the light outside the window, and found that there was a row of small characters engraved on the back of the silver lock, but she was still young and did not know it, so she gave up.

She had never seen the silver lock, but she knew that it was a woman's ornament, but if it was a woman's ornament, how could it be placed in her father's study? Will it be a mother's?

Although she had never met her mother-in-law, and she had never heard her father mention it, Aunt Lian sometimes told her about her mother's past, so she knew more or less in her heart.

If it is a mother's silver lock, it should be fine to put it on yourself for a while. Daddy won't know when he's gone far away, just put the bracelet back in its place before he returns.

Ye Tingxue thought of it, so she sat in front of the desk where Ye Yuanxi was flipping through the books on weekdays with a silver lock in her hand, and she thought of her mother from the silver lock, so she naturally thought of her father and sister. Thinking that soon, Dad and Sister will go to Lingyin Villa, although she can't go together, but she is really happy, Sister will definitely talk about herself with Brother Feng Que, and she will be able to play with him again in the future.

Ye Tingxue was happy at this time, but where could she think of her parting with her father and sister, and goodbye was far away.

And the brother Feng Que that she missed, in the days to come, she could see her whenever she wanted, but since then they have not played together again.
