There is a special room for the nobles to rest, and there is a clean change of clothes in it.

Lin Yingxue took a hot bath and came out after changing her clothes, the rain was already much lighter, but it was still dripping, and the originally bright sun had shrunk behind the clouds at some point.

"I'm about to go back to the city, can the fifth lady come along?" Just as Lin Yingxue was standing under the eaves of the wing room and looking out, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look, only to see Murong Xun standing at the door of the wing room beside her, and it seemed that he had just finished grooming like her.

"No need." She rejected Murong Xun's kindness in a cold tone, but after the words fell, she felt that her attitude would look a little strange in the eyes of others, so she couldn't help but slow down her tone and added: "Thank you for the kindness of the Fifth Highness, I still want to stay here for a while, so I won't go with the Fifth Highness." ”

Thinking about it, Murong Xun just asked casually for the sake of Lin Yingxue's previous medical treatment, but at this time, when he heard Lin Yingxue refuse, he didn't force it, only nodded lightly, and left with the escort holding an umbrella.

Seeing Murong Xun's indifferent figure gradually disappear from her sight, Lin Yingxue couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but while she wanted to push this person into the Infernal Hell, she couldn't bear the heartache and missed the bits and pieces of the past.

Perhaps it will take time for the letting go and the healing of the wound to make up for the fading.

Lin Yingxue was stunned and asked the owner of the horse village to rent a carriage to enter the city, and she sat against the wall of the carriage, letting the fine rain fall on her face along the small window of the carriage. The earth has been washed by the rain with a fresh and clean fragrance, but there are also people who are even more depressed because of the rain.

"Stop!" Lin Yingxue beckoned the little guy who was driving the car to stop the carriage, and then opened the curtain and said to the two tall and short but equally thin figures on the side of the road: "Are you going to enter the city?" Come on, I'll give you a ride. ”

What Lin Yingxue saw was the mother and daughter she met at the door before entering the horse village, the two of them probably delayed their trip because of the sudden heavy rain before, so they haven't been able to enter the city yet, looking at the little girl's shrugged figure and dragging heavy footsteps, Lin Yingxue couldn't bear it, so she wanted to take the mother and daughter on a ride.

When the young woman heard the voice, she turned her head to look at Lin Yingxue with a puzzled look, but there was still some hesitation on her face.

The little girl who followed the woman gently tugged at the corner of the young woman's clothes and whispered, "Auntie, Yuanyuan's feet hurt." ”

It turned out that it was not a mother and daughter, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but think after hearing the little girl's address to the young woman.

The young woman looked down at the child, a hint of distress flashing across her face. She turned her head again, this time she didn't hesitate anymore, but said to Lin Yingxue a little embarrassedly: "Then it's bothering the son." ”

Lin Yingxue pursed her lips and smiled, didn't speak again, just turned sideways and let the two of them come up.

When the two of them got into the carriage, they looked very restrained, and the little girl named Yuan Yuan leaned close to the young woman, looking at the inside of the carriage with a look of anxiety, as if she had never seen a carriage before.

Lin Yingxue saw that the girl had been staring directly at the small plate of pastries placed on the small table in the carriage, she couldn't help but smile and moved the plate of pastries to the girl, and said softly: "Are you hungry?" Eat something, don't be afraid. ”

The little girl looked at the pastry with a look of longing in her eyes, but instead of reaching for it, she looked up at the young woman beside her with her big black eyes, as if she were asking for the young woman's permission.

However, the young woman was also very nervous at this time, she touched the girl's head, as if she wanted to ask the little girl to endure it, Lin Yingxue saw the young woman's thoughts, so she smiled again: "It's okay, it's just a plate of snacks, it's not good to be hungry for children." ”

Hearing Lin Yingxue say this, the young woman couldn't help but nodded gratefully at Lin Yingxue again, "Thank you Childe, the child followed me on the way, in order to save the entanglement, I didn't eat two good meals along the way, which made Childe smile." ”

So saying, the young woman bowed down to the girl and said, "Eat, but thank you, brother." ”

"Thank you, brother." As soon as the young woman finished speaking, the girl thanked her, and with her little hand she quickly grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

Looking at the little girl's innocent and cute appearance, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, thinking that if she could keep the child that day, the child would be so innocent and likable in the future.

Seeing Lin Yingxue looking at the child with a look of pity, the young woman couldn't help but say on the side: "Childe seems to like children very much?" ”

Hearing the young woman's voice, Lin Yingxue lowered the wry smile on the corner of her mouth, and replied with a fluttering expression: "Yes." ”

It's a pity that she couldn't protect her child. Lin Yingxue unconsciously reached out and touched her belly, raised her head again, and said with some curiosity: "Look at Madame's outfit, it seems that she came from out of town with a child?" ”

"Ah, yes!" Xu heard Lin Yingxue call herself Mrs., and the young woman waved her hand nervously, "If the son doesn't dislike it, just call me A-Qing." ”

In fact, the woman in front of her is only in her teens at most, but the wind and frost on her face and the hardships of life make her look a few years older than her peers.

Lin Yingxue nodded and called, "Sister Aqing." ”

Ah Qing seemed to feel that she still couldn't afford Lin Yingxue's honorific title, but seeing Lin Yingxue's sincere expression and kind face, she didn't bother with it anymore, but sighed, touched the child's head, and said helplessly: "As the son said, I came from Liangzhou, and this child is the child of my sister-in-law." ”

The relaxed environment made the young woman slowly open her chatterbox: "When Yuan Yuan was three years old, my sister's father-in-law said that he wanted to come to the imperial city to find a way out, so he went out alone, and he left for five years. In the past two years, my sister has been in poor health, and she has to take medicine and see a doctor all year round, and there is only one male in the family to work, plus I gave birth to a dog last year, and the burden on the family has become heavier. ”

"My sister couldn't bear to drag us down, she washed her face with tears all day long, and secretly drank the medicine twice, and then the husband thought about it for a long time before saying, or he would come to the imperial city to find the eldest brother back. Regardless of whether the eldest brother gets ahead in the imperial capital or not, as long as the eldest brother goes back, it is better for the two men in the family to work than to support the husband alone. ”

"My sister and I both thought this was the case, so we scraped together some travel expenses and asked Xianggong to come to the imperial capital to find the eldest brother, but Xianggong walked for several months, but there was no news, and he never sent a letter of peace to his family. The situation at home was really difficult, so I had no choice but to let my sister drag the sick body to take care of the dog, and I took Yuanyuan to the imperial city to find the eldest brother and the father-in-law......"

When the young woman said this, she couldn't stop crying.

Lin Yingxue can also imagine how many hardships a young woman has to go through on the way to this imperial capital with a child.

She reached out and patted the woman's shoulder, and said softly, "You tell me the names of your eldest brother and Xianggong, and I will help you keep an eye on it, and I may be able to help you." ”
