Chunhua originally thought that this matter had passed, but she didn't expect Bai Mingxuan to suddenly bring it up again, and her face couldn't help but be a little flustered.

Bai Mingxuan didn't seem to notice her panic, and pulled her to sit on the stool and was about to take off her clothes, but Chunhua couldn't stop her, and she couldn't think of any reason to shirk it for a while, and she took off her clothes after a while.

Bai Mingxuan gasped, almost unable to believe what she was seeing.

I saw that Chunhua's body was covered with fresh scars, the scars were criss-crossed, red, swollen and bruised, and the blood under the skin was faintly purple.

Arms, shoulders, back...... They all have the scars of being beaten. In severe cases, there are faint red blood beads.

The hidden secret had been discovered, and Chunhua froze in place, not daring to look up at her.

For a moment, no one spoke in the room, and there was silence in the air.

Bai Mingxuan wanted to speak, but found that her mouth was dry, and she didn't know what to say, "You ......"

Raising his hand, his fingers trembling slightly, he carefully touched the edge of the wound for fear of hurting her.

"Does it hurt?" Bai Mingxuan finally asked what she wanted to ask, and felt that this was nonsense, and of course it hurt to be hurt like this.

“…… Who is it? Bai Mingxuan looked at her, already guessing in her heart, but she still asked, "Is it your stepmother?" ”

Chunhua was still silent, not speaking or nodding. But Bai Mingxuan has already got the answer.

opened her mouth, but Bai Mingxuan didn't say anything in the end.

What to say?

Console? For Chunhua, comfort is the most useless thing, and it can only satisfy Bai Mingxuan, who said comfort.

Berate? What's the use of venting your emotions other than venting your emotions? Besides, no matter what, it's a spring flower's mother, and it can't be justified to scold a mother to someone's daughter, if the two of them scold together, if they are heard by others, they will only be blamed.

Finally a sigh.

Chunhua was used to the scars on her body, even if it was a little more serious this time, she still didn't feel anything.

But when Bai Mingxuan stood in front of her and saw this, she felt distressed for her, but her eyes were faintly moist.

It's like a child who is bullied outside, strong in front of outsiders, but when he sees his relatives, he becomes fragile and just wants the other party to hug and comfort him.

"Your injuries are too serious, wipe them with a handkerchief dipped in water." Bai Mingxuan got up and looked around, but didn't find the veil, so she pulled up Chunhua and asked her where the veil was.

Finding the handkerchief, Bai Mingxuan pressed the spring flower on the stool for her to sit on, and fetched water to wipe her by herself.

Bai Mingxuan carefully wiped the wound, although the movement was too light, Chunhua still gasped from time to time because the wound was touched by the handkerchief.

It took a while to wipe it clean, and the handkerchief was stained with a little blood. Wash the veil and let Chunhua get dressed again, Bai Mingxuan didn't allow her to get up to work again, and helped her hang up her clothes to dry.

"Do you have any more work to do today?" Bai Mingxuan hoped that she would have a good rest and recuperate.

“…… I also have to go to chop wood, go to the fields to water, and then come back to cook. Chunhua looked up at her cautiously, as if she had made a mistake, and spoke much quieter.

"Alas...... You don't want to do that next time. Bai Mingxuan was distressed, and she was still a little angry at Chunhua's concealment of her behavior, "We're good friends, aren't we?" Good friends should talk to each other well, and they are not allowed to deceive others. If you lie to me like this next time, I will ignore you again! ”

Hearing her say this, Chunhua raised her head in a panic, and quickly nodded: "Mingxuan, you are right, we are good friends, I will never be like this again in the future, I will not lie to you!" Don't ignore me......"

As he spoke, his voice choked up, and tears filled his eyes.

Bai Mingxuan saw that she was frightened like this by her words, a little helpless, a little anxious and a little happy, held her hand, looked at her and said: "We are good friends, good friends for life, as long as you promise not to lie to me in the future, I will not ignore you." ”

Chunhua, who was affirmed, nodded hurriedly: "I won't dare to lie to you in the future, I will tell you that we are good friends......"

Gently patting the uninjured shoulder on the other side of Chunhua, Bai Mingxuan's eyes were soft.

The sun shone in the yard and drove away the haze. Two little girls, in a messy and simple house, made a lifelong commitment.

Let Chunhua promise to wait until she goes in the afternoon to work, Bai Mingxuan returned home and planned to start.
