Chapter Twenty-Seven: Running Away from Home
"Miss Fu is also a temperamental person," Li Zheng changed his evaluation of Fu Xinran, and then said, "The Wenguo Mansion has always been noble, and it would be an honor for Li to marry your mansion." ”
Su Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, this matter was almost over.
At this time, there were already a lot of guests, and Li Zheng turned to entertain others. Fu Xinran, who came belatedly, learned the news that he could marry Li Nan, and he was overjoyed, and his eyebrows danced.
"Don't be too happy," Fu Liye said with a frown, "After you go back today, come to my study." ”
After all, it was in the Li Mansion, and it was not good for him to attack directly, but he was still very angry in his heart. He couldn't accept Fu Xinran's behavior of not loving herself, and she didn't show the slightest remorse until now.
"What's wrong, brother?" Fu Xinran withered suddenly, although she dared to shout with Fu Liye, but in fact he was still a little afraid.
"You know what you've done."
"What did I do?" Fu Xinran stiffened, "Won't I still be able to marry Li Nan in the end?" He and the princess have no marriage contract, and I am just a little worse than the princess. ”
"If it weren't for Qingyun, do you think you would be able to marry Li Nan smoothly?" Fu Li smiled angrily, "They can have ten hundred ways to rectify you, and in the end, your reputation will be ruined, and no one will dare to marry, so you can only go to the nunnery to accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha." ”
"I don't want her to care!"
Hearing Fu Liye mention Su Qingyun, Fu Xinran excitedly denied it, and glared at Su Qingyun who was on the side viciously: "Who knows if she is uneasy and kind?" Maybe she wants me to marry out sooner, and the Wenguo Mansion will be her alone! ”
"You!"
Fu Li was angry at night, and said without words: "How can I have such a sister as you who doesn't know what to do?" ”
"I don't have your elbow brother!"
Fu happily dropped a sentence and ran out of the Li Mansion with the servant.
"Aren't you going to chase her?"
Su Qingyun was a little helpless, it seemed that no matter what she did, she could provoke a war between the brother and sister. She saw that Fu Xinran was not pleasing to the eye, and she was naturally happy with Fu Liye's maintenance of herself.
"No," Fu Liye shook her head, "She can't go around outside, and she will naturally go home when it's late." ”
Hearing Fu Liye say this, Su Qingyun stopped worrying, and instead returned to the backyard to coax Mrs. Li, who was angry when she knew what Fu Xinran had done.
When they returned to the Wenguo Mansion, Fu Liye and Su Qingyun felt a little tired.
"Where's Miss?"
Although he said that he was not worried about Fu Xinran, the first thing Fu Liye did when he returned to the house was to ask Fu Xinran about his movements.
"Miss......" The butler looked embarrassed.
"You say."
"The young lady said that she was very angry and wanted to run away from home," said the housekeeper, with a bitter face, "and we can't stop it." ”
"When did you go out?"
"It was in the morning, and the young lady suddenly came back, packed up the package, and left. We didn't understand what was going on at first, but after the young lady left, she sent a message that she was running away from home. ”
What nonsense.
"Haven't come back yet?"
"Haven't come back yet."
Fu Liye frowned, but it was still early in the sky, thinking that Fu Xinran might be angry, so he instructed the housekeeper: "Xinran is back, ask her to come to my study." ”
Then Fu Liye and Su Qingyun returned to his study, each holding a book to study.
"Hasn't Miss come back yet?"
When concentrating on reading, time passed extremely fast, and when Fu Li looked up at night, it was already late, and the sun had already set.
At this time, he was a little panicked, but he still held on, pretending to be calm and convened the servant to ask.
After hearing the negative answer, Fu Liye couldn't sit still and asked the housekeeper to send someone out to find it.
Really ran away from home? Or was there some accident?
"Don't worry, Miss Fu has an entourage, so nothing will happen." Su Qingyun said with relief.
Fu Liye nodded with a calm face, and his emotions did not ease in the slightest.
The sky was darkening and the stars were dotting. The quiet moonlight made Fu Liye's mood even heavier.
"Haven't you found it yet?"
"No," said the butler, with a sad face, "I have sent people to look around, and I have also asked the soldiers at the gates of the city and the owners of the inns, but I have not seen the young lady's figure. ”
"Where can she, a weak woman, go?"
Fu Liye's heart was flustered, but his face became more and more calm.
While panicking, Fu Liye became more and more angry in his heart. He was angry at what Fu Xinran had done in the Li Mansion today, treating his reputation as child's play, and angry at her running away from home and ignoring his comfort.
He stayed in the front hall, thinking that when he found Fu Xinran, he could see her as soon as possible. At the same time, he did not forget to tell the housekeeper to hide from the old lady and Mrs. Fu at home, both of them were not in good health, and they were not worried because of Fu Xinran's willfulness.
Su Qingyun naturally couldn't sit idly by, so she could only wait in the front hall with Fu Liye.
In the middle of the night, the people who came back one after another to report brought the same news, and they couldn't find Fu Xinran.
"Big young master!"
The last person to come back still brought a negative reply, and Fu Liye's body stumbled and almost fell out of the wheelchair.
Su Qingyun hurriedly helped Fu Liye to take his pulse, and sure enough, he was angry.
Su Qingyun was surprised by Fu Liye's big emotions, and at the same time sent him back to the bedroom despite Fu Liye's objections.
She wanted to complain that Fu Liye didn't care about her body, but when she saw Fu Liye's expression, she couldn't help but be stunned.
It was something she had never seen before.
In Su Qingyun's heart, Fu Liye has always been strong.
He has a strong heart, since he was a child, he was able to endure the hardships that ordinary people can't bear, practice martial arts and literature, and never complain about hardship. Once his legs were disabled and his bright future became elusive, he did not complain, but quickly came out of the blow.
During this time, Su Qingyun had never seen Fu Liye's vulnerability.
And then, she saw it.
Fu Liye's fragility was beyond words, his face was pale, his eyes showed a deep worry, and there was a faint blame for himself.
"I only have such a sister."
When Su Qingyun was stunned, Fu Liye said slowly: "She was very cute when she was a child, and when I came back from school, she would hide behind my mother's back and secretly look at me, wanting me to hug her, but she was timid and didn't dare to move forward. ”
"She inquired about my preferences, kept everything I liked in mind, and prepared surprises for me on my birthday."
"It's just that we haven't been close since we were kids. I didn't spend much time in the house, and I was busy, and I often ignored her, and I wasn't a responsible brother. ”
“…… I remember once when I went home, I found a small banquet in my mother's yard, and I realized that it was her birthday, and only I forgot it. ”
"I don't know when it started, we barely communicated. She became more and more vexatious, and I became more and more harsh on her. ”
"I want to come now...... It's all my fault. ”
If he could have cared more about Fu Xinran, if he was willing to have a good talk with Fu Xinran, they wouldn't have quarreled from time to time, and Fu Xinran wouldn't have run away from home.
"You...... It's not your fault," Su Qingyun was at a loss, she didn't expect Fu Liye to have such deep feelings for Fu Xinran, so she had to say with a small wing, "Xinran will be fine, maybe I'll be back tomorrow." ”
Fu Liye nodded dispensably.
Looking at Fu Liye like this, Su Qingyun's heart felt like she had been bitten by an ant, and there was a faint pain.
She was angry that Fu Xinran ran away from home despite her family's worries, and made up her mind in her heart to join the team looking for Fu Xinran tomorrow.
If you find Fu Xinran earlier, Fu Liye will be able to relax sooner and stop worrying about herself so much.
If it weren't for Fu Liye's inconvenient legs and feet, and the family still needed him to sit in town, he would have gone out to find Fu Xinran a long time ago. Therefore, when he heard Su Qingyun say that he was also looking for it, he did not object.
One more person, one more force, one more possibility.
Early the next morning, Su Qingyun left the house.
She had already thought about where Fu Xinran might go at night. Ruling out the possibility that she was already out of the city, she could only stay in the city.
Yesterday, all the inns said that they had not seen Fu Xinran, and it was impossible for the ladies in the city who were good friends with her to agree with her decision to run away from home and hide her, so she must not be in their mansion.
Fu Xinran, as a lady, can not know many people. The only people she knew and who might take her in were ......
Luo Siqi.
Su Qingyun felt a little strange yesterday. Although Fu Xinran is quite unreasonable, after all, she has received a lady's education since she was a child, and it is unlikely that she will do anything no different from the self-recommended pillow seat.
Thinking that he left later, the only person who was with Fu Xinran was Luo Siqi, Su Qingyun felt that there was a faint shadow of Luo Siqi's unscrupulous means in what Fu Xinran did.
She has always been afraid to speculate on Luo Siqi with the greatest malice.
Su Qingyun went straight to the place where Luo Siqi's medical hall was located.
There is an artificial lake next to Luo Siqi's medical hall, although it was built to facilitate the people to play at the beginning, but this side is overgrown with weeds, almost taller than people, and the scenery is not very good, and the people choose the suburbs more to play.
As a result, few people come here except for the occasional person who comes to fetch water from this artificial lake.
It was closer to Luo Siqi's hospital from the artificial lake than from the city, so in order to hurry, Su Qingyun decided to go over from the artificial lake.
In the early morning, only a few rays of bright yellow sunlight emerge from the clouds, and the weeds by the lake are covered with dewdrops, glittering gently in the sun.
The smell of grass and trees is especially fresh in the morning. Su Qingyun took a deep breath, the hem of her skirt was already wet with dewdrops.
She was about to bury her head forward when she heard a slight sound in the grass hidden in the grass ahead.
Because of the distance, she couldn't really hear it, and could only hear a few staccato words.
“…… Li Lang ......"
“…… Interpretation...... Princess...... Unexpected ......"
“…… Joy ...... Wait...... Marriage ......"
With just a few words, Su Qingyun's guess rose in her heart.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and crept forward, peeling off the thick weeds, and saw a man and a woman snuggling in the distance.
The man reached out and stroked the woman's cheek, while the woman bowed her head shyly. From a distance, it is a scene of you and me.
Su Qingyun didn't know the woman, but she recognized Li Nan's face like a good woman, so she also had a guess about the identity of the woman.
