Chapter 17: Compassion
Seeing this, Xiao Wanyan immediately ran to Xiao Wanqing's side and said worriedly: "Wanqing, you're okay." ”
Xiao Wanqing immediately lowered her head and said with a flustered expression: "Fortunately, Gongzi helped me in time, so I was able to survive." ”
"Thank you......" Just as Xiao Wanyan was about to say thank you, she raised her head to face the man's face, and Yu Chiyan appeared in front of her with a smile, since Xiao Wanqing was still by her side, she couldn't calculate the account of the previous few days, so she had to suppress the anger in her heart and said, "Yu Chiyan, why are you here?" ”
Wei Chiyan shrugged his shoulders: "Brother Huairan said let me come to support you and I will come." ”
"Hold up the scene?" Xiao Wan didn't know why, and when he thought about the brothers under him, a bad premonition struck: "Those soldiers in your army are also here?" ”
Wei Chiyan looked like he should be: "Naturally, how can they be missing to support the scene." ”
"Chu Huairan, you are really suitable for losing your wife at a young age and dying alone." Xiao Wanyan muttered quietly, her heart was full of hatred for Chu Huairan, and iron could not become steel.
Xiao Wanqing, who was on the side, saw her like this, and said with a nervous expression: "Sister, what's wrong?" ”
Xiao Wanyan came back to her senses: "It's okay, by the way, let me introduce you, this is General Wei Chi Yan, this is my sister Xiao Wanqing." ”
Then he came to Wei Chiyan's side and warned: "My sister is timid, you put away the ruffians in the barracks, don't scare her." ”
Xiao Wanqing's face was flushed, and she bowed to Yu Chi Yan Yingying: "I have seen General Wei Chi, thank you General Wei Chi just now." ”
It was also the first time for Chi Yan to face such a delicate woman, there were no women in the barracks, and he didn't know what to say, so he replied: "Miss Wanqing doesn't have to be polite." ”
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Xiao Wanyan's eyes wandered between the two, and she said, "Why don't we go to the front hall together, otherwise my father will be in a hurry." ”
Xiao Wanqing and Wei Chiyan said in unison: "No." (No)"
Xiao Wanyan threw a sharp eye over, and he was unwilling to be accompanied by such a beautiful woman.
Yu Chiyan was a little anxious to explain: "I mean that I haven't been to such a big place in the mansion yet, why don't you ask Madame and Miss Wanqing to take me around?" ”
He was ordered to stop Xiao Wanyan from walking around the front hall, but he couldn't spoil things.
Xiao Wanqing glanced at Wei Chiyan, slowly lowered her head with a handkerchief in her hand, her head was full of those scary things, Xiao Tao hurriedly walked up, pulled her aside and whispered: "Miss, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must not miss it." ”
Xiao Wanqing blushed slightly, and whispered to her: "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Xiao Wanyan somewhat understood Xiao Wanqing's concerns, pondered for a while and pulled Xiao Wanqing's arm, and said, "You haven't always liked to hear the stories in the barracks told by Mr. Storyteller, and now that General Wei Chi is in front of you, what else are you embarrassed about?" ”
After hearing this, Xiao Wanqing's heart beat faster, her breathing was slightly short, she bit her lip and said, "Sister, I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll go back first." ”
Xiao Wanqing fled in the wilderness, leaving only a panicked back.
Xu is persecution is too tight, she can't accept it for a while, Xiao Wanyan knows that this kind of thing can't be rushed for a while, so she has to give up.
On the side, Wei Chiyan couldn't help but joke: "I really don't understand, how can there be such a sister who is ashamed to express herself according to Madame's temperament, it is far away, far away." ”
Xiao Wanyan had a smile on her face, and Wei Chiyan was a little hairy when she saw it, she stepped on it hard, and the painful Yu Chiyan grinned.
"Not only am I happy to express, but I am also arrogant and unreasonable, I tell you not to say cool things to me, I always remember the last account." Xiao Wanyan raised her head, snorted, and walked straight forward.
"What my father said is not wrong at all, but women and villains are difficult to raise." Yu Chiyan said angrily.
In the main hall, a strong smell of gunpowder permeated all corners, and the soldiers in the courtyard guarded the house, surrounding the inside and outside of the house, and the water could not be leaked.
One of the men in the crowd was angry and said loudly: "Don't think that the prime minister is great, my uncle is the ...... of the court."
"Noise, Han Yi deal with it." Chu Huairan interrupted the man's words and said in a deep voice.
Han Yi walked outside the hall and heard the man say in horror, "What are you going to do?" Let me go. ”
Whoever in the crowd screamed and fainted, and the few drops of blood splashed on the window were shocking.
Chu Huairan on the seat looked at Xiao Qiming casually with his eyes, and said word by word: "Father-in-law, you are still satisfied with today's meeting." ”
The guests who were arrested shrank in the corner one by one, not daring to say a word, for fear that they would be like the person making trouble, and their heads would fall to the ground in the next moment.
Xiao Qiming clenched his fists tightly, the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, and he glared angrily: "The Prime Minister is so majestic, I can't afford this father-in-law, let's say, what do you want to do when you come here today?" ”
"Isn't it clear to my father-in-law what you want to do?" Chu Huairan hooked the corners of his mouth gloomily, took a sip of tea, and the tea cup fell to the ground, scattered: "The tea in my father-in-law's house has to be replaced with a new one, otherwise I will lose my appetite after drinking it, I have recently got some good tea in my house, so I might as well send someone to send it another day." ”
This tea is this year's new tribute tea, which is only offered to the prince and the emperor, and you don't need to think about it to know that it must have been sent by Qi Jiulu to please you.
Xiao Qiming snorted coldly: "This tea is in line with the taste of the family, if it is forcibly changed, and then mixed with bad tea, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses, so it is okay not to change it." ”
Chu Huai was a wolf, he couldn't gamble with the lives of the whole family, he didn't want to say more, so he had to give an eviction order: "Prime Minister, after eating this tea and returning to the door, I won't keep you." ”
"But I think my father-in-law should be able to say a few more words, otherwise he will live up to the marriage I gave to the second lady." Chu Huairan's eyes became darker and deeper, and the corners of his mouth were raised, and his smile was even worse.
"You ......" Xiao Qiming almost turned his back on him, he looked at Chu Huairan hatefully.
"It turns out that General Wei Chi was arranged by Xiangye for his sister." Xiao Wanyan's voice sounded in the main hall in time, and the surrounding guests looked at her happily like the dawn of hope.
Hearing the voice, Chu Huairan was obviously stunned, he looked up and looked at Xiao Wanyan's cold eyes without accident, he suppressed the panic in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent: "I thought that Madam would have to delay a little longer, but I didn't expect to finish speaking so soon." ”
In fact, he secretly despised Wei Chiyan: people can't be coaxed, waste.
knew that Chu Huairan must have a reason for his abnormality today, and originally wanted to use her coercion to lure Shangshufu to submit to him, she swept the blood stains on the ground, and her face did not move.
She can't let Chu Huairan's power grow stronger, otherwise it will be troublesome to do it in the future, Xiao Wanyan thought about it: "Yes, I just remembered that the things I sewed for Xiangye haven't been finished yet, and now I have to go back and sew it as soon as possible." ”
Chu Huairan was a little nervous when he heard what was given to him, and immediately said: "Father-in-law, if you want to drink tea in the future, you can come to the house at any time, so I won't bother much today and say goodbye." ”
Watching Chu Huairan and the others leave, the guests in the courtyard were all relieved.
Xiao Wanyan didn't say a word in the carriage, Chu Huairan was a little overwhelmed when he saw it, he looked away, and secretly grabbed Xiao Wanyan's hand with his left hand, but was dodged by Xiao Wanyan.
Chu Huairan withdrew his hand and coughed lightly, looked at Xiao Wanyan, who was out of the window and leaned towards Xiao Wanyan, but was stopped by Xiao Wanyan in time: "Xiangye, the weather is too hot, it is not suitable to get so close." ”
Chu Huairan sat back in a daze, just when he didn't know what to do, the horse was suddenly startled, the carriage shook violently, Chu Huairan turned around and wanted to protect Xiao Wanyan, but he didn't want Xiao Wanyan to get up immediately but didn't stand firm, and directly pressed Chu Huairan under him.
For a while, the four eyes looked at each other, the tip of their nose against the tip of their nose, and Xiao Wanyan was stunned.
She looked at the deep eyes in front of her, swallowed her saliva, and immediately looked away, until Han Yi asked outside, "Xiangye, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Wanyan immediately got up, she looked out the window, her eyes fluttering.
Chu Huairan straightened his robe and sat down again: "What's wrong outside?" ”
Suddenly, there was a sound of a whip breaking through the air, whipped on the flesh, and a wail: "Don't hit me, don't hit me." ”
This voice was very familiar, Xiao Wanyan was stunned, and immediately got out of the carriage, and as expected, Qu Xiaoran's pitiful face appeared in her field of vision.
Seeing Xiao Wanyan get out of the carriage, Qu Xiaoran rushed over and grabbed Xiao Wanyan's skirt: "Madam, save me, save me." ”
Xiao Wanyan's face darkened, looking at him unhappily, Qu Xiaoran fearlessly continued to cry hoarsely: "Madam, you save me, I am willing to repay you by being a cow and a horse for the rest of my life." ”
When Chu Huairan got out of the carriage and saw such a scene, he immediately raised his leg and kicked Qu Xiaoran away from Xiao Wanyan's side, and instructed Han Yi: "Next time there is such a thing, you don't need to stop, it is the fate of life or death." ”
He took Xiao Wanyan's hand and planned to return to the carriage, but heard Xiao Wanyan say, "If we save him, he is so pitiful." ”
"The Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't need such useless minions." Chu Huairan's tone was calm, as if he had no emotion, he forcibly pulled Xiao Wanyan into the car and didn't say a word more.
On the carriage, Xiao Wanyan frowned: "Chu Huairan, don't you have compassion?" He's so pitiful, you won't help him. ”
"Compassion is worth a few dollars, if you die, will someone else save you because they sympathize with you?" Chu Huairan will always be like this, with an invincible appearance, no feelings, no joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
Sure enough, it was Xiao Wanyan's hallucination early in the morning, how could she think that Chu Huairan might have changed, she sneered sarcastically: "Beasts still have seven emotions and six desires, you are not as good as them." ”
"Xiao Wanyan, if I don't kill you for the time being, it doesn't mean that I will never kill you, you have to remember your identity." Chu Huairan reached out and pinched Xiao Wanyan's neck, and when he saw that her face was flushed, he let go of his hand.
Xiao Wanyan forgot that she was not capable of controlling Chu Huairan's emotions now, and Chu Huairan's small fights with her on weekdays were just teasing her like a canary in a cage.
She looked down and said indifferently: "Thank you Xiangye for reminding me, I must firmly remember my identity." ”
