Chapter 5: A Nightmarish Past
"Actually, I think what the senior monk said back then was indeed true, if I hadn't been sent out of the palace, maybe I would have been dead a long time ago." Nangong Jin'er's eyes kept looking out the window, her expression was a little erratic, and her words were a little sad.
"What do you mean by Jin'er?" Nangong Jin'er who I saw today has always been very happy, but now that she is suddenly so sad, she is a little unaccustomed, and Ling Yuwei's heart feels more and more heavy.
"I remember that when I was four years old, under the care of my father and mother, I lived a carefree life every day, and I was very happy and happy." When she said this, Nangong Jin'er's face reappeared with a smile.
Ling Yuwei listened quietly and didn't speak again, not wanting to interrupt Nangong Jin'er's memories.
"But on a snowy winter day, all happiness was shattered, and the initiator of all this was Nangong Ye." When Nangong Jin'er mentioned Nangong Ye's name, obvious hatred appeared on her face, which was so different from her previous innocence.
What did Nangong Ye do to her to make her have such a great hatred?
Although Ling Yuwei's heart was full of doubts, she still didn't ask anything, she believed that Nangong Jin'er would say it herself.
"There is a very beautiful lake in the Imperial Garden, and at that time the lake had already frozen because of the heavy snow for several days, but the ice was only a thin layer." Nangong Jin'er continued to tell the memories that had been pressed in her heart for a long time.
"One day, Nangong Ye suddenly said to me that he wanted to take me to the lake to skate, and I was just playful, so I really followed." Nangong Jin'er smiled a little self-deprecatingly, she was really stupid at that time.
"Nangong Ye also specially instructed me at that time not to tell anyone, so the two of us went quietly, and I really agreed, even the queen mother didn't tell me." Nangong Jin'er now feels very regretful, if she had told the queen at that time, maybe everything would not have happened.
Hearing this, Ling Yuwei had already guessed something in her heart, she really couldn't imagine that Nangong Ye was so vicious, not even letting go of a four-year-old child, not to mention that the child was still his half-sister.
"When we arrived at the lake, Nangong Ye first went to the lake to demonstrate, and then let me go down alone, and I followed his example and walked to the lake stupidly, but as soon as I went down, the whole person slipped heavily, and the ice on the lake began to break, and I fell into the cold and biting water." Nangong Jin'er said the whole thing in one breath, and the expression on her face turned into fear and fear.
"Jin'er, don't be afraid, it's all over." Ling Yuwei took Nangong Jin'er into her arms and comforted her softly.
"At that time, I kept struggling and asked Nangong Ye for help in fear, but he just stood motionless by the lake, looking at me coldly, and didn't pay attention to my call for help." Nangong Jin'er has always felt that this matter is haunting her like a nightmare, and she is often scared into a cold sweat when she thinks about it.
"Jin'er is fine, something like that will never happen again." Ling Yuwei could imagine Nangong Jin'er's helplessness and fear at that time, it seemed that everything was premeditated by Nangong Ye.
Nangong Ye is only twenty-two years old now, so he was only twelve years old when he did this.
is so young, but he has such a deep city and such a vicious heart.
From this point of view, Nangong Ye is really terrifying.
"The only thing that is fortunate is that the third brother suddenly appeared later and rescued me from the ice lake, otherwise I might have died in it a long time ago." Under Ling Yuwei's comfort, Nangong Jin'er's mood gradually calmed down.
"It's just that when the third brother appeared, Nangong Ye had already disappeared, and I was scared at that time, so I didn't tell anyone about it." Finally finished talking about the whole thing, Nangong Jin'er suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
"At that time, the third brother suffered a cold because he saved me, so he was seriously ill, and since then, I have treated him as my own brother." Nangong Jin'er's heart has always been full of gratitude to Nangong Yi, if it weren't for him, there would be no current self.
This matter has been pressed in her heart for ten years, and she has never told anyone, not even Nangong Yi and the queen.
She didn't know why she told Ling Yuwei all this, she had an inexplicable sense of trust in her, and she couldn't help but want to tell her all this.
After listening to Nangong Jin'er's story, Ling Yuwei finally understood why she had such a good relationship with Nangong Yi, and she hated Nangong Ye so much.
"Jin'er, thank you for telling me these things, don't worry, no one will dare to bully you in the future." Ling Yuwei's heart was full of distress for Nangong Jin'er, and she couldn't help but want to protect her.
Nangong Jin'er is only fourteen years old now, if it is in modern times, it is the age of carefree, but she has endured so much here.
"Hehe, cousin, don't worry about me, I've learned some kung fu outside over the years, although it's not very good, but at least I can protect myself." Nangong Jin'er has returned to her previous innocent appearance, and now she is not afraid of Nangong Ye, and she also believes that he will not dare to do anything to hurt her again.
"Really? That's great. Although Ling Yuwei doesn't know martial arts, she has also learned taekwondo in modern times, and as a daughter, she still needs some self-defense kung fu.
"If my cousin wants to learn, I can teach you later." Nangong Jin'er smiled happily, eager to share anything good with Ling Yuwei.
"Okay, that's a deal." In fact, Ling Yuwei has long been full of curiosity about the so-called ancient kung fu, is it really as magical as what is played on TV?
"Cousin......" Nangong Jin'er suddenly called out to Ling Yuwei a little mysteriously, but she didn't speak, just had a meaningful smile on her face.
"What does Jin'er want to say?" Ling Yuwei was a little surprised, she didn't know what Nangong Jin'er wanted to say, because her expression was really strange.
"Cousin, do you have a sweetheart?" Nangong Jin'er approached Ling Yuwei and asked expectantly.
"No ......" Ling Yuwei smiled with relief, she didn't expect Nangong Jin'er to ask her such a question, she was just a wisp of incense soul from a thousand years later, how could she have a sweetheart?
"Really? I don't believe it. Nangong Jin'er curled her red lips slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction, because she didn't hear the answer she was expecting, could it be that she was wrong?
"Not really, believe it or not." Ling Yuwei pretended to be a little angry and said, but she couldn't help laughing.
"What does my cousin think of my third brother?" In fact, when she was in Jing Yage just now, Nangong Jin'er saw that Nangong Yi was different from Ling Yuwei, so she also wanted to test Ling Yuwei's mind.
