Chapter 191: Anomaly
Spring goes to autumn, and in the blink of an eye, it is the season of yellow leaves. No matter how diligent the maid in the academy is, two or three golden leaves occasionally fall on the bluestone path.
Ah Yu hasn't been alone with Wen Fu and Wen Rong for a long time, and since they annoyed each other because of Xi Rou's affairs, they don't seem to have any contact in private. Even in front of Old Lady Wen, they were all faint to each other, like strangers.
didn't expect these two people to suddenly leave Xi Rou and only look for her.
Not only did Ah Yu not feel happy in his heart, but he was on the defensive.
She remembered that she once held a sincere heart in front of her two sisters, full of thought that they would be different from outsiders, and in the end, her true heart was hurt thoroughly, and she still hasn't completely recovered.
The hidden secret door in the rockery is what Ah Yu told Wen Fu and Wen Wan before, and ordinary people generally can't find this place.
Wen Fu and Wen Rong sandwiched Ah Yu between the two of them, hugged Ah Yu one after another, opened the secret door, and entered the small study in the rockery. The bookshelves in the study are placed against the wall, and the remaining space is placed with a few boxy desks, on which are neatly arranged with the four treasures of the study.
They sat him down at one of the desks, and then dragged the wooden chair and sat across from him.
"The third uncle and mother came to the academy to teach chess, and Ah Yu is not ready to stop her?" Wen Fu asked eagerly.
That attitude is like when Mrs. Wen came to the White Horse Academy and followed up with the fire pit.
Not only her, but even Wen Rong beside her had similar thoughts.
Ah Yu thought that they were looking for her for Xi Rou's business, but she didn't expect that this time it was actually for her mother.
Her mother's intention to be a gentleman at the White Horse Academy should have been just a whim, and her mother had tried to persuade her to go home, but she never agreed. But my mother probably believed that the mountain didn't come to me, so I went to the mountain, and she refused to go back to Kyoto's family school, so my mother accompanied her to the White Horse Academy.
As for why she has to work at White Horse Academy, maybe it's because her mother wants to spend more time with her!
After all, she always spent much more time in the academy than in other courtyards.
"Why block? Since it's something my mother wants to do, of course I only have support, so how can I stop her? ”
Ah Yu felt that the attitude of the Wenfu sisters was very strange.
The White Horse Academy was founded by Mrs. Wen, and since its beginning, it has gradually become famous in a few years, and it is the academy that outside students want to come in and study the most. How is it like a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in the eyes of Wen Fu and Wen Rong!
Wen Rong blinked, trying to make the water in her eyes fade, but to no avail.
She said to Ah Yu: "Ah Yu, you believe us, the former White Horse Academy may not have had any other influence on the third uncle and mother, but the current academy is different. We just don't want to make you sad anymore, so we're here to remind you. You better persuade the third uncle to leave the academy quickly! ”
"Far away from the White Horse Academy, the third uncle and aunt are still the third uncle and aunt who loved Ah Yu the most in the past, if it ......," Wen Fu added.
Ah Yu suddenly interrupted her words: "It's not so much far away from the White Horse Academy, it's better to stay away from Xi Rou!" ”
"In your eyes, I'm really that bad, there is no place like Xi Rou that will make you turn against you, and you still think in your hearts that my mother will also stand on her side, is that right?"
She was really sad.
Wen Rong showed an anxious look on her face, looking at Ah Rong's depressed appearance, wanting to explain but not knowing how to speak.
“…… No, Ah Yu has always been, has always been very good, but Xi Rou her, she is different from others. ”
Ah Yu stood up, unwilling to continue talking to Wen Fu and Wen Rong.
Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and it has always been the most appropriate description.
She looked cold, as if she was facing a stranger, and Fang Cai's depression was just an illusion for a while.
Wen Rong also stood up, blocking the route of Ah Yu's departure, curled her index finger and gently rubbed it against the corner of Ah Yu's eyes, her knuckles touched a tear, and when she reached out again, she hugged Ah Yu into her arms.
She pressed Ah Yu into her arms, just as she had done every time she comforted a sad little girl.
Ah Yu raised his arm and was about to push her away.
Wen Rong pursed the corners of her mouth tightly, obeying Ah Rong's strength, allowing the little girl to leave beside her, and the little girl took a few steps back vigilantly, looking at her with a defensive face.
Before she met Xi Rou, she never thought that she would be so alienated with Ah Yu one day, so unfamiliar that just a hug had already made Ah Yu very vigilant.
It's as if she's no longer the sister Ah Shen likes, but a stranger who will hurt Ah Yu.
The haze that had accumulated over so much time suddenly came to my heart at this moment.
She paused, knowing that she and Ah Yu might never be able to return to the intimacy they used to be, maybe even the sisterhood was about to be exhausted, so she said in a somewhat obscure voice: "Xi Rou is very special, anyone who doesn't like her, after getting along with her for a long time, can also find what they like from her, and the longer they get along, the more they like it, the more they like it, the more they will overpower other emotions." ”
If there are really demons and monsters in this world, then Xi Rou must be the most demagogic among them.
Ah Yu still did not let down his guard.
While staring at Wen Fu and Wen Rong opposite, she recalled those memories of Wen Rugu in her heart, Wen Ruyu really noticed Xi Rou when Duan Yu made up his mind to marry each other as a flat wife.
At that time, Xi Rou had a very good reputation in Kyoto, and it was clear that people outside didn't know what was going on in Duanfu. However, the maid beside Xi Rou let out a rumor, saying that Wen Ruzhi deliberately secretly attacked her because she was jealous of Xi Rou, and as a result, although Duan Yuzhi came to save Xi Rou, she also had a skin-to-skin relationship with Xi Rou.
It is clearly one thing without the slightest evidence, but they spread it to the outside world, and outsiders believe it like that.
It's as if they don't have brains anymore.
Later, Xi Rou married into the Duan Mansion, and the maid beside Wen Rugu died, ran away, and there was no one left.
The daily food and clothing are sent to her when the mother-in-law who guards the door is in a good mood, otherwise she will not even be able to eat.
The deepest impression left by Wen Rugu during those days of lack of food and clothing was still related to Wen Ning.
She couldn't remember what time it was, maybe it was autumn, maybe it was winter, but when Wen Ning came to her, the mother-in-law who guarded the door hadn't brought her food for several days, and she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, so she pulled weeds in the yard, barely preserves.
When Wen Ning entered, she was lying on the edge of the small pond in the yard, reaching out to hold water to drink.
Although she was a little dazed with hunger at the time, she still remembered that Wen Ning was talking to her before entering the door.
seems to be like an outsider, asking her why she is so ruthless, even a gentle and kind girl like Xi Rou can be ruthless to frame her.
Ah Yu blinked, ignoring the sourness in her eyes, she suddenly thought of Wen Ning at that time, and she had also been deceived by Xi Rou's illusion, but when he rushed to question Wen Rugu on behalf of others, he happened to meet Wen Rugu who was almost starved to death, so he was full of Wen Rugu who was so hungry that he was confused, and where did he remember Xi Rou's fake appearance.
It's just that the words he questioned Wen Rugu still left a scar in her heart.
Otherwise, Wen Rugu would not have left the letter to him in the end, so he chose to cut himself.
Obviously, if she waited a little longer, someone would pick her up, but she still gave up that opportunity.
Wen Fu looked at Ah Yu's trance-like appearance, and added: "When we get along with Xi Rou, we will always unconsciously favor her more. ”
"Just like the last time you had an argument with Xi Rou, although Rong Rong and I were more biased towards you, when the words came out, the thoughts in our hearts changed. is full of thoughts that Xi Rou is alone in Kyoto, if Rong Rong and I don't help her, then she has no one else to rely on, and I think that Ah Rong In addition to me and Rong Rong, there are other people around you who care about you, so in the end I favored her. ”
She didn't say anything about how she and Wen Rong hid in the room and cried for a long time after she went back that day.
made an oath to protect the little girl, but in the end, it was they who hurt Ah Yu first.
Even if they regret it in the end, the things they do and the harm they do can't be regarded as non-existent.
Ah Yu was silent.
She herself was lucky enough to get a glimpse of the future, and other people could also get preferential treatment from God.
Xi Rou's special feature probably comes from this.
"I believe what you say, but I have other questions." Ah Yu spoke very calmly, and still kept a fixed distance from the Wenfu sisters, and did not get much closer to them because of their words.
She asked, "Why didn't you talk about this before, but only after my mother became a gentleman at White Horse Academy, did you talk to me about it?" If you want to remind me, there have been so many opportunities earlier, but you never said a word. ”
Once you lose trust, it's hard to regain it.
Wen Fu was suddenly speechless.
After a pause, Wen Rong spoke: "If I say that we don't know what's going on, will you believe it?" ”
Ah Yu looked at Wen Fu and Wen Rong without blinking, and did not answer.
Wen Rong smiled bitterly and said, "Whenever we speak in front of people, no matter what we think in our hearts, we will only end up biased towards Xi Rou, which seems to have become our instinct, and there is no way to break free at all." Only when Afu and I are alone can I tell the truth. ”
"Even this time to bring you out of the academy and try to tell the truth, it was a sudden whim of us, and before that, we didn't dare to think that we would succeed."
They have tried many times in secret, and each time they have failed for one reason or another.
I can only watch Ah Yu go alone in the academy and drift away from them.
The conversation in the rockery ended up stopping here.
Ah Yu tried not to let herself think about how Wen Rong was saying such a thing, and how she persuaded her to have a friendly relationship with Xi Rou with tears in her eyes.
The details that she hadn't noticed before were all in her mind, but the damage had been done, and the missed things were missed, though not to fault.
After leaving the study in the rockery, Ah Yu walked aimlessly along the bluestone path in the academy, she didn't know where she should go, only knew that she didn't want to see anyone, she just wanted to be alone for a while.
It's just that this is the time for classes in the academy, most of the people are staying in the academy, and people who don't have classes won't wander around like Ah Yu now, and she only saw some people in the academy along the way.
Pei Yin happened to appear in front of Ah Yu at this time.
Accompanied by Xie Huai'an and a person who Ah Yu did not know.
Pei Yin just didn't need to go to class today, and because of Ah Yu, he had some friendship with Xie Huai'an. After this friendship was discovered by Su Mingzhe, he insisted that the three of them get together for a meal, and say that he would see the truth at the wine table.
Originally, he didn't want to pay attention to Su Mingzhe's unreasonable request, but the other party made too much noise that he couldn't even refuse.
"Look at the little girl over there, isn't it very familiar!" When Su Mingzhe walked, he was used to looking in all directions, no, he saw two people next to him who had not yet seen it at a glance.
He shook the folding fan in his hand and looked at the two people beside him with a smile, curious about who the two would greet the girl of the Wen family at the same time when they appeared at the same time.
Although it is an ordinary question, there are many things that can be picked out and said.
Pei Yin helplessly looked at Su Mingzhe, who grew up together since childhood, but always liked to entangle some strange problems.
"Mingzhe ......"
"Oops! She didn't even look at us, she just walked away! ”
Su Mingzhe watched Ah Yu pass past them without squinting, and the little girl's afterglow did not fall on them at all, which was strange.
"She looks like she's in a daze, although it's unlikely that there will be danger in the academy, but the precaution she should have can't be left behind!"
As he spoke, he gestured to Pei Yin beside him with his eyes, urging the other party to catch up quickly and be a good person.
The little girl's family is the hardest to refuse such pure kindness from others.
In this way, Pei Yin will naturally become the most special person in the eyes of the other party.
However, the fact is that Pei Yin stretched out his hand and patted Xie Huai'an on the shoulder twice, and said, "You go up and see how Ah Yu is, if she is in a bad mood, enlighten her well, and then send her back to Mrs. Wen as soon as possible." ”
Pei Yin and Xie Huai'an knew about Mrs. Wen being a gentleman in the academy.
Su Mingzhe watched Pei Yin push Xie Huai'an out, and couldn't help but glance at the folding fan in his hand, and couldn't tell whether it was a problem with his eyes or Pei Yin's brain.
