When Danzhu and his party left, Zheng Lingyi quietly crouched in the snow behind the bushes, staring at them firmly.

She took off her red cloak and wore only a silver silk white jacket, so she was inconspicuous and unnoticed.

She lay on her stomach in the snow and waited for a while before she trotted to the rockery by the pool to retrieve her cloak.

There was no one by the pool, only messy footprints and a few bits of red blood, melted into the snow together.

Zheng Lingyi looked at it in a daze for a while, and felt a little chill on his body.

A very inexplicable thought was squeezed into my mind, everyone likes to look at the red plum in the snow, is it also because of the appearance of its flowers, like blood?

It was much darker, and snow was falling.

In a few moments, the traces in the snow were covered, and it was a beautiful and tranquil scene.

In the vast land, there is only this bright red on Zheng Lingyi's body.

Zheng Lingyi looked at the wonderful skills of the snowflakes and stood alone in the snow and chuckled.

Xu was frightened, or lying in the snow and getting cold, Zheng Lingyi returned to Xiyuan and pushed open the door, just called his aunt, and fell softly into her arms.

Aunt Jiang stretched out her hand and touched it, but her forehead was already hot.

Zheng Lingyi was sick for three days.

In the past three days, Aunt Jiang and Qiao Luo have taken care of them inextricably, and finally Zheng Lingyi no longer has a fever, but she is still asleep.

"Qiaoluo, Madame let us go to Anheju, you take care of Fifteen, she will take medicine then."

The conversation between Aunt Jiang and Qiao Luo vaguely reached Zheng Lingyi's ears, and she murmured, "Auntie, don't go." ”

Her voice was like a mosquito, and no one heard her.

When Qiao Luo closed the door and turned around to serve Zheng Lingyi with medicinal soup, he saw the sickly and haggard little girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

"Sister? Sister, are you awake? Qiao Luo said happily.

"Auntie, what are you going to do?" Zheng Lingyi struggled to sit up, and his voice became dry from not speaking for a long time.

Qiaoluo helped her up and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, all the aunts will go, not just our aunts, they should be there to lecture." ”

She originally wanted to tell Zheng Lingyi about Aunt Qiu, but after thinking about it, Zheng Lingyi is now recovering from a serious illness, why should she know these bad things?

She carefully fed Zheng Lingyi the medicinal soup, and the hot medicine entered Zheng Lingyi's stomach, and her face was slightly ruddy.

Zheng Lingyi has been sick for the past few days, and has been hiding behind the curtain, and there is no yellow powder on his face to hide the snow skin, looking at it like a blank piece of paper, there is no blood at all, which is really distressing.

After feeding the medicine, Qiao Luo took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Zheng Lingyi's mouth, and suddenly heard her say: "Qiao Luo, is the fourth brother of the Wu family still here with us?" ”

Qiao Luo was a little strange and said, "Sister, you have been sick for so many days, how can you know about the fourth brother of the Wu family?" ”

Zheng Lingyi was closing his eyes to recuperate, his eyelids trembled slightly when he heard this, and his eyelashes also moved, as if he was restraining something.

"I saw it that day." She said softly.

Qiao Luo became more and more strange and said, "Sister, what did you see?" ”

Zheng Lingyi's eyelashes sank slightly, and he changed his mind again.

I don't know if I don't want to say it, or if I want to protect the dignity of the boy from the Wu family.

"When I went out to enjoy the snow that day, I saw Brother Wu and Brother Thirteen together, I was a little curious, just ask." Zheng Lingyi said calmly.

Qiao Luo looked at her indifferent face, and believed it, and said: "It's also a poor person, sister, don't listen to it, the province feels uncomfortable." ”

Zheng Lingyi looked at Qiao Luo and smiled, and deliberately said lightly: "Just relieve my fatigue." After lying down for so many days, my spirit is tired. ”

Qiao Luo couldn't resist her, so he said with some pity: "I originally asked the thirteenth brother to lock him in the firewood room, and said that the Wu family bet to lose him to his own as a sparring partner." The lady was also indulgent, but later the sixth brother said that it was too unpleasant, so she moved out of the firewood room and lived in the guest room in the outer courtyard. I glanced at him, and he was not much older than you, sister. ”

Qiao Luo sighed and said, "It's still the fifth brother who is kind and kind." ”

"If it's true and good, why don't you let people go back?" Zheng Lingyi said disapprerovingly.

Qiao Luo didn't think about this, and was stunned when she heard the words, and when she looked up at her, she found that she had taken out the book "Dietary Therapy Materia Medica" from under the pillow, and was reading it carefully, as if it was just gossip.

Qiao Luo pursed his lips, involuntarily followed Zheng Lingyi's words, and said silently for a long time: "But if the lady and lady of An Heju can be like the fifth brother, even if it is kind on the face, our life will be better." ”

Zheng Lingyi smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "That's right." ”

You can't take care of yourself, so don't worry about the lives of others.

As soon as she finished speaking, the book in her hand was pulled out by Qiaoluo, and she only heard her say: "The illness is just right, and you are not allowed to read the book." ”

Zheng Lingyi was pressed back into the soft quilt by her, the decoction she took just now probably had the ingredients of tranquilizer, she had obviously slept for three days, and she was still a little sleepy.

I fell asleep for another hour after a half-dream, only to feel someone touch my forehead, and sighed with relief.

Zheng Lingyi heard the conversation between the two women in a daze.

"Sister Qiu is really pitiful, Grandpa Guo didn't take her words seriously at all, and Madame was so ruthless." This was Aunt Wan's voice, with a little worry and fear.

"There is no room for sand in the eyes of the eldest lady." Aunt Jiang's voice seemed to be very calm, but Zheng Lingyi heard a suppressed sense of fear from it.

"When I was sold, I knew it wasn't easy to be small. Poor my father and mother thought it was a blessing, but I didn't expect to live such a day. Aunt Wan was about to cry again as she spoke.

Qiaoxiu hurriedly persuaded: "Auntie, Aunt Qiu is because she is not favored, in this year, Grandpa Guo has only seen her two or three times, and once she just sat down slightly, turned her face and went to Aunt Ai's." But you're different. Grandpa Guo has at least something to say to you. ”

These words did not play a comforting role, but Aunt Wan said very sadly: "Sister Qiu is the oldest, and Grandpa Guo naturally rarely sees her, but who doesn't have the time of old age and decrepitude?" Could it be that I am the same as this twenty years old in this life? ”

Zheng Lingyi curled up in the quilt, thinking that this Aunt Wan was still sober after all, much better than Aunt Guo.

Qiaoxiu looked at Aunt Jiang like asking for help, Aunt Wan has always listened to Aunt Jiang's words, and Aunt Jiang can always comfort her well.

But today, Aunt Jiang herself seemed to be in a trance, frowning and only saying, "Let's have a destiny." ”

Aunt Wan cried for a while, like a complete child.

Aunt Wan's temperament is like this, she was the youngest daughter in the family, although the family is not very rich, but she is very pampered.

In the early spring of that year, I went to sell magnolia flowers on the street with my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law really went to sell flowers, which was just fun for her.

Unexpectedly, her smile was as elegant as a sideburn magnolia, and she actually entered Zheng Guogong's eyes.

A few dowry gifts to the family, if you don't want to marry, you have to marry.

The little red sedan chair was quietly carried into the West Garden from the side gate of the Guogong Mansion, and the mother cried at home and broke her intestines.

As soon as the hijab was lifted, she saw her husband's appearance for the first time.

Without her eldest brother being heroic, not as gentle as her second brother, looking at the age of only a few years younger than her father, she didn't understand, how could her husband be such a person?

At that time, Aunt Wan wanted to cry without tears, so frightened that she fled to the depths of the red bed, but was grabbed by the ankle.

The days that followed were even more difficult, the housewife was ruthless and indifferent, the maid was disrespectful, and Aunt Guo was yin and yang beside her, always laughing at her openly and secretly, and secretly making stumbling blocks.

Only Aunt Jiang is gentle with her and takes care of her wherever she can, so Aunt Wan trusts her so much.

Aunt Wan was persuaded by Aunt Jiang to go back, and Aunt Jiang lifted the curtain and saw Zheng Lingyi's radiant eyes.

Aunt Jiang poked her head, scratched her neck again, and said, "How much did you eavesdrop?" ”

Zheng Lingyi grinned, dodging Aunt Jiang's fingers, and after a laugh, Zheng Lingyi said with a straight face: "Auntie, what's wrong with Aunt Qiu?" ”

Aunt Jiang glanced at her and didn't speak.

Zheng Lingyi pinched her fingers and shook them, and said coquettishly: "The lesson of the car ahead, the teacher of the car behind." ”

"You knew it had to be something bad before I even said it?" Aunt Jiang glanced at her and brought her a cup of hot water for her to drink.

Zheng Lingyi held the teacup and said, "Aunt Wan's crying is like that, obviously frightened. Besides, where did any good things come from in our house? ”

"Aunt Qiu sued in front of Grandpa Guo, saying that the fourth sister's marriage was not good, and it was the eldest lady's intention."

Aunt Jiang had a slight sadness in her eyes, but when she said it, her tone was cold.

"She was under house arrest yesterday, and today she asked her mother-in-law to be sent to Zhuangzi. Aunt Ai peeked through the crack in the door, Aunt Qiu's whole face was smashed, her mouth was stuffed with rags, and she was only wearing a shirt, which was really not half decent. Even with us people, we were reprimanded several times. ”

Hitting people and slapping their faces is Lu's consistent style, and her children are also very similar to her.

Last year's birthday of Zheng Yanru, Zheng Yingying and Zheng Yanxian happened to wear the same crimson color, but Zheng Yingying was slapped twice by Zheng Yanxian in the mouth, and she hid in the room for three days before she could barely see anyone.

Zheng Lingyi felt as if his chest was blocked by something, and he drank the teacup in his palm in one go, and then said softly: "Aunt Qiu, an honest person, is also forced to have no way out." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Aunt Jiang's voice was as soft as the last fallen leaf in winter, and it was not clear when it fell.

The door creaked open, and Qiao Luo brought Aunt Zheng Changchang Wan back, and Zheng Changchang and Zheng Mianmian were playing together.

Seeing that Zheng Lingyi got up, Zheng Changchang hurriedly trotted over and smiled at her.

Qiao Luo said with a sad face, "Auntie, Aunt Qiu has been sent to Luokung Village." ”
