Chapter 56: A Piece of the Past
"Why did you come out, it's windy outside, and you're wearing so thin." Shi Jing squatted down and touched Lu Lian's hand, coldly, and simply didn't let go to warm his hands like this.
"I'll come out and see if I hear your voice, and I won't disturb you." Lu Xiao smiled shallowly, but glanced at Xu Ye without being salty.
"Why, I'll take you back to your room later, it's too cold outside, don't blow you freezing." Shi Jing looked at Lu Lin with a smile, his eyes were gentle like a pool of spring water, which made people want to drown in it.
"This is the young master of the Lu family, I've heard of it for a long time." Xu Ye smiled heartily, Lu Lian's talent is well-known in Pingcheng, and many people admire this resolute young man.
"I'm Lu Lone, I'm glad to meet you." The two exchanged a few words, and Shi Jing watched from the side, without looking like he was about to speak.
"Then I won't bother, it's cold, you guys come into the house quickly. Xiaoxiao, I'll come back to see you when I have time. After a simple farewell, Xu Ye walked away from the courtyard, and his figure became farther and farther away.
Shi Jing sighed faintly, "Hey, poor man." ”
"Why, if you are reluctant, hurry up and chase it, people haven't gone far yet." Lu Lin looked at Shi Jing and kept staring at the direction Xu Ye left, and said awkwardly.
"There's nothing to be reluctant to, it's just a little sigh." Shi Jing shook his head, and was about to say something else, when he suddenly reacted, he said with some meaning, "Oh, I know, our little Lu Lin is jealous, isn't it?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, who is jealous, and don't call me Xiao Lu Lone." Lu Lian's face turned red with shame, and now he is not as clean as he is cheeky now.
"Xiao Lu Lone, Xiao Lu Lone, I want to shout, I don't accept you to bite me." Shi Jing joked with a hippie smile, and the figures of the two gradually drifted apart.
In the evening, Song Yan returned to the Song Mansion, and Shi Jing went to find him after eating with Lu Lian.
When Song Yan arrived, he hadn't started to eat yet, and he was very happy to see Shi Jing coming over, "Xiaoxiao, you're hungry, come and eat with your father." ”
Shi Jing was actually not very hungry, but he couldn't bear to refuse Song Yan's request, so he still sat down beside him, and someone handed him a pair of chopsticks in a timely manner.
Song Yan ate a big bowl of rice more than usual because his daughter was by his side, and Shi Jing also symbolically ate every dish, and then absentmindedly picked up the rice in the bowl.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong, I see that you are in a bad mood all day today, tell your father what's going on, I see who bullied my baby daughter." Song Yan put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked Shi Jing with concern.
Shi Jing actually came to inquire about Xu Ye's situation, Xu Ye himself is very capable, but he can't be paid attention to by Song Yan, there must be something strange in this.
"Daddy, I want to ask about Xu Ye." Shi Jing hesitated for a moment but asked directly.
"Xiaoxiao, did he say something to you again, this bastard boy, Dad should let him get as far away as possible."
"No, Dad, you know, I don't remember what happened before, so I naturally have no feelings for him, but I want to know why you resolutely disagreed with the two of us being together in the first place."
"Xiaoxiao, you don't need to know these things, you just need to be responsible for being happy every day." Song Yan's expression was very heavy, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.
"Daddy, just tell me, my daughter should have the right to know the truth."
"Hey......"
"After your mother gave birth to you, she was poisoned and died, do you know who gave the poison?" Song Yan looked at Shi Jing with a sad face, and the news he said was very shocking.
The original owner's mother has always been the cause of death after childbirth, and she died without compensation, but she didn't expect it to be highly poisoned, and it seems that there is a hidden past, who would be ruthless to a pregnant woman.
"Could it be that he is close to his mother?" Shi Jing tentatively spoke, his tone full of uncertainty.
"Exactly, Xu Ye's mother took advantage of your mother's postpartum weakness to pour poisonous ...... on her" With Song Yan's narration, a past unfolded.
"Xiuwan, don't blame me, I just want to save my Ye'er." Xu Yan cried with tears on her face, holding a bowl of medicine in her hand, as if she had made up her mind, and walked to the bedside.
On the carved wooden bed lay a pale-faced woman, who was in a coma, as if she had just given birth, and the room still smelled of blood.
The original maids and mothers-in-law were all dismissed, and Xu Yan was left alone in the house to take care of the pregnant woman, and a little baby girl in the crib next to her was sucking her fingers and sleeping sweetly.
Xu Yan sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the sleeping face of her friend for many years, with a look of struggle on her face, and after a while, she still poured a packet of medicinal powder into the decoction with trembling hands.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Xiuwan opened her eyes suddenly, staring straight at Xu Yan, so frightened that Xu Yan shuddered, and the decoction in her hand spilled out.
"Oh, I thought that potion was too hot, and then it ...... By the way, blow it for you, and it won't be hot if you blow it. Xu Yan was very flustered on her face, thinking of a clumsy excuse to cover up her actions just now.
"She probably didn't see it." Xu Yan was lucky, but Jiang Xiuwan was obviously not so easy to fool, although she was still very weak, she could clearly feel that Xu Yan's expression was wrong.
"Xiaoqin, why aren't they here?" Jiang Xiuwan coughed weakly twice, and unconsciously became vigilant in her heart.
Jiang Xiuwan and Xu Yan are childhood friends, and they have been companions since childhood, and they did not separate until they got married. Xu Yan followed the passing army commander to marry in another city, but Jiang Xiuwan married an unknown small businessman, and married a businessman under the dignity of the lady, which really became a joke among the people of Pingcheng after they were full of wine and food.
Since then, after seven years, there have been wars and disputes in various places, and the people have been displaced, but Jiang Xiuwan has not been affected by the war, and the original businessman Song Yan has grown into the current leader of the Pingcheng gang, with many brothers and sufficient weapons, and no one dares to provoke.
When I saw Xu Yan again, I was already a person at that time, and the two were like a world apart.
Song Yan is taking Jiang Xiuwan out to choose new clothes, Jiang Xiuwan has been pregnant for more than three months, and her belly is a little pregnant, Song Yan is holding her in her hands for fear of falling, holding her in her mouth for fear of melting, and caring for her every day.
"Look at you, just be busy with you, you still have to go out with me, don't you just pick out a dress, I'll let Xiaoqin accompany me." Jiang Xiuwan looked at Song Yan with disgust, but there was no blame in her tone, and she was very happy to think about it.
"Yes, yes, what Madame said is right, I can't think about it when I can't see Madame for a day, I have to follow you." Song Yan smiled and made amends, which made the surrounding maids laugh.
"Madam, don't say it, isn't it safe for you to rest assured, if you want me to say that the master is really good to you, how many women in this Pingcheng envy Madame that you have found a good husband." Xiaoqin said with a smile next to her, causing both of them to laugh.
