twenty-nine

Next.

Xue Yi came here again to wait.

Su Yan didn't come.

She stood alone by the pool, accompanied by shadows.

After waiting for a whole day, the person who was supposed to come still didn't come......

Floating clouds and sinking snow. One side covers the sky, the other covers the earth.

The night was deep, the snow was drifting, and the hustle and bustle of the streets was cleaned, leaving only a weak figure, wandering in this empty snowy night, like a wandering ghost.

Ruoxuan leaned on the carved railing in the backyard of Lu Yao Pavilion, drinking alone with the snow, and the wine dew in the cup emitted a moonlight-like white halo, gently illuminating Ruoxuan's face, as if what he was holding in his hand was not a jade cup, but a shining pearl.

The contemplative face was as deep as an abyss, and as warm as jade, like a handicraft, which made people enjoy just looking at it, and couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking.

Lian Xi stood in the attic, looking down at Ruoxuan, and looked stunned.

"Master, it's late at night, and it's time to go to bed. The chill is heavy, and it is easy to get cold from the wind. ”

"It's still early, Xi'er, we still have a guest who hasn't arrived, wait."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.......

Xue Yi was so cold that she shivered, and before she knew it, she had already walked to the door of Lu Yao Pavilion, and stood in front of the pavilion for a long time, and finally knocked on the door of the pavilion.

It's like being stuck in a quagmire, Xue Yi has no owner, but she inexplicably feels that the only person who can save her from the sea of suffering is Li Ruoxuan.

In the Luyao Pavilion, the light is radiant and bright as day. The fantastical aura of the wine adds a bit of mystery to the night.

Lian Xi brought a red jade bottle and carefully poured the wine dew in a white porcelain bowl. The dew that reached the mouth of the bowl was as thick and hot as molten slurry, and the streamer in front of it rose like a flame, occasionally splashing a little spark. Even the smell of the wine is hot.

"This is 'flame wine', for Miss Xue to ward off the cold." Ruoxuan raised his glass.

Xue Yi stared at the rising flames in front of him in a daze, and immediately picked up the white porcelain wine bowl in front of him, no longer as reserved and small as before, but raised his head and poured the wine dew into it in a big gulp, and drank it all.

The fiery strength of the wine erupted from the abdominal cavity, and the whole body seemed to be in flames, and the chill dissipated, and there was immediately a drunkenness.

If the "living soul" is the silent nourishment of the trickle, then the "flame wine" is the domineering invasion of the fire nirvana!

Xue Yi's tears seemed to be melting ice, and he couldn't stop pouring out the endless grief and resentment in his heart......

thirty-one

After a day of waiting to no avail, Xue Yi dragged his tired empty hole and knocked on the side door of Sufu.

The wooden door creaked open, and a small man rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes and poked his head out.

"It's so late, who's it?"

"Ah Fu, I'm Xue Yi, is Mo Ru here?"

"It turned out to be Miss Xue. Mo Ru's girl told me to come, if you come to look for her, let you meet in the backyard firewood room. Miss Xue, come with me. The little servant saluted, quietly took Xue Yi into the door, and looked straight at the firewood room in the backyard. Xue Yi has an excellent temperament since he was a child, and he also loves his subordinates, and the subordinates of Su Mansion have also been taken care of a little bit, and they are admired in their hearts, so they naturally will not be embarrassed by Xue Yi.

After the defeat of the Xue family, there are not many people who can still treat Xue Yi like this.

The little servant led Xue Yi to the door of the firewood room and knocked on the door gently.

"Moru girl! Miss Xue is here! Open the door! ”

The little servant lowered his voice and called repeatedly, but there was no movement at the door.

"It's strange, this girl obviously made an appointment in the firewood room, but didn't she sleep over." With that, he pushed open the door and looked.

The screams of horror pierced the tranquility of Su Mansion......

"Ah~~~" Ah Fu sat down on the ground, his eyes wide open with horror.

I saw that in the dim firewood room, the wick was faintly swaying. The wooden bench turned over, and a weaker figure was suspended by a bunch of white silk under the beam and swayed slightly, which was particularly terrifying in this night......

Looking at it, the figure hanging on the beam of the house is the maid Moru......

"Dead man! Mo Ru hanged herself! Come on! Someone is coming~~~" Ah Fu came back to his senses, quickly got up, and ran to call for help in a panic. The sleeping Su Mansion was in chaos, and it didn't take long for it to become a mess......

"Sister Moru......"

Xue Yi covered his mouth, under the veil, his eyes trembled slightly, his face was full of panic and surprise, and he moved towards the door with difficulty.

I saw Mo Ru being hung in the air by Bai Aya, holding a piece of letter paper in her stiff hand, and the handwriting on it was faintly visible: Xue Yiqi.

Reaching out to take off the letter, Xue Yi pressed it in horror and opened it to read it carefully.

"Miss, good sister, Moru is wrong, Moru is sorry for you......

In the past, Xue Yi went into the city every day to sell the female red weaving art made by the mother and daughter, so as to make a living and struggle. In his spare time, he went to Su Fu, and Tom Moru sent a letter to Su Yan, and Moru handed a reply. Every time he received Su Yan's reply, Xue Yi was full of joy.

But what are the facts?

Su Yan didn't have any love for Xue Yi, but he was greedy for the latter's beauty and body. On the surface, he has a deep affection for Xue Yi, but in private, he is under the connivance of his parents, hiding Xue Yi from going in and out of Fengyue places, and even hooking up with folk girls in broad daylight.

To be precise, he has never had true feelings for any woman he is playing with. He relied on his family wealth and gave birth to a handsome skin, quite good at rhetoric, and after capturing the innocence of Fangxin, he ruined it ruthlessly, and took pleasure in it, as a talking point to brag and show off with fox friends and dog friends.

At the beginning, the Xue family's momentum was undefeated, and Su Yan still had some restraint. After the Xue family was defeated, they no longer had any scruples, and went in and out of Fengyue places with fox friends and dog friends all day long, lingering in the warm fragrant nephrite of various female colors.

As for why he still didn't pour out the truth and shatter Xue Yi's illusions after the Xue family was defeated, maybe it was because the two of them were childhood sweethearts, maybe because Xue Yi treated him sincerely, maybe because Xue Yi was the first woman he had, or maybe because he single-handedly caused the Xue family's current situation and felt guilty......

Su Yan was still ashamed of this innocent girl with eyes full of herself at first, and left some sweet words in her reply.

It's just that under the wash of the rouge pink and the snow all day long, the only trace of guilt left has been completely wiped out.

So, he ignored Xue Yi's letter, ignored it, and occasionally replied to the letter just a few hasty things.

Xue Yi has never been biased because Mo Ru is a subordinate, treating her like a sister and taking good care of her, and the latter naturally knows how important Su Yan is to Xue Yi.

Xue Yi was so infatuated, and Su Yan did behave like this, Mo Ru couldn't bear to see it, so when she took care of Su Yan's bedroom every day, she opened the letter that was abandoned in the corner and read it, and then imitated Su Yan's handwriting and gave Xue Yi a "reply". Xue Yi is like this, he has always been deceived by illusions.

"Yesterday, after the young master went out to see the young lady, he got drunk again and was carried back to the mansion by his subordinates. Mo Ru is the young master's personal maid, and naturally, as usual, she cleans up and serves by the couch with water. But he never thought that the young master was drunk and disorderly, and Mo Ru was unable to break free, so he was robbed by the young master and stained his innocence. ”

"Mo Ru deceived the young lady, and she knew that she deserved to die; Mo Ru lost her innocence and chastity, and she had no shame to live in the world. Miss, Mo Ru can't stand you! Today's last letter tells the truth, and Mo Ru apologizes with death! ”

After reading the last letter, Xue Yi's eyes were glazed, he turned around, and moved out of the door step by step, as if he was wandering.

The subordinates of the Xue family hurriedly bypassed the sluggish Xue Yi and rushed to the firewood room. The hustle and bustle, exclamation, chaos, no one paid attention, and the lonely and desolate Xue Yi staggered away alone in the snowy night......

thirty-three

"......"

After reading Mo Ru's last letter, Li Ruoxuan sighed, and put the letter paper in the rising fire of the "Flame Wine", and it was dyed into ashes in an instant, and he waved his hand in the air.

Su Yan was disappointed in every way, but Xue Yi, who was kept in the dark, repeatedly believed that he would stick to this wrong love, and even died several times for it, and almost died.

In fact, on the day when Xue Yi first came to ask for help and left Ruoxuan, after Xue Yi left, the latter made some short moves to probe Su Yan's details, and he was also clear about Su Yan's behavior. It's just that if Xue Yi is told directly in person, with the depth of his obsession, he will definitely not be able to listen to the slightest advice.

In desperation, he could only make this strategy and let Xue Yi see the truth with his own eyes. But it also unexpectedly involved so many incidents, and even led to the shocking secret of the "Demon Lord". I really don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune.

"Su Lang said to me, in this life, he will devote himself to me until death; Su Lang said that he would carry me to a sedan chair and marry me in the scenery; Su Lang also said that he would take me to spend the moon before the moon and go boating on the lake......"

"Yesterday I met with Su Lang in the bamboo forest, and I was waiting for him there early this morning. Half a day passed, he didn't show up, I said that he was just recovering from a strange illness, and his body was still weak, maybe he was entangled in something, and then waited. A day passed, he still did not come to the appointment, I deceived myself, maybe he forgot the agreement, maybe he left in a hurry, did not hear clearly, I went to find him. As a result, Mo Ru committed suicide by hanging herself innocently, leaving behind this unique pen! ”

"In order to save his life, I have lived and died several times! But why did he bear me like this? Why! Xue Yi threw himself on the case and cried bitterly, tearing his heart out. Under the torment and spirits, there is no scruple and reserve.

Xue Yi stretched out his hand to pour the third bowl of "flame wine", Lian Xi felt compassion and wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but was stopped by Ruoxuan with his hand raised.

"Now that you've seen the truth, it's better to let it go than to continue to compromise. Su Yan...... It's not worth your infatuation to treat him like this. ”

Hearing this, Xue Yi raised his head suddenly, and his eyes revealed a touch of ruthlessness and despair.

"Nope! My father is gone, my family is in decline, and I have lost everything! I must never lose Sulang again! Su Lang is my last hope in the world! ”

"It must have been me who ruined my appearance, so Su Lang abandoned me! Leaving Gongzi, you are the reincarnation of an immortal, there must be a way! I beg you! Please! Give me more grace and restore my appearance! Su Lang will definitely change his mind! Xue Yi suddenly knelt down and bowed, banging his head on the ground, and blood flowed everywhere.

"Miss Su, get up! , how can you ......" Seeing that Xue Yi was still obsessed, Ruoxuan couldn't help but feel a trace of sorrow in his heart.

"Huh......" Ruoxuan finally let out a helpless sigh and calmed down the sorrow in his heart.

"I can try to let you see whether Su Yan is worth your recovery, but the price is to lose half of your life, are you willing?" Ruo Xuan hesitated again and again, and finally said this decision.

Hearing this, Xue Yi trembled, and his heart set off a great turmoil.

This is a big gamble with half a life and longevity as a bargaining chip, leaving no room for maneuver.

"I ...... I do! ”

Saying this, Xue Yi seemed to be drained of his whole body strength and collapsed to the ground.

It's not that she's afraid of losing this half of her yang life, but she's afraid that the final result will completely shatter the last illusion she had about Su Yan in her heart.
