Chapter 21: Parting is imminent
As soon as the sky dawned, the maid in the courtyard had already begun to sweep the snow at the courtyard gate, and the snow that was originally a few feet thick had melted and only a thin layer remained, and there was no snow covering the ground when it was swept away.
Mu Yunqi got up and freshened up, and his body was already able to move freely, which was indeed much better than yesterday. She glanced at the couch and saw that Su Xunyan was still asleep, so she left the house by herself and came to the palace room with yesterday's memory.
Gong Huan's eyes were still closed, and there was no sign of waking up. She sat on the edge of the couch and checked his pulse, the pulse was normal, and there was no wound on his body, why didn't he wake up. She couldn't help but feel puzzled in her heart, and gently got up and walked outside.
Before she knew it, she had stepped outside the Merlin, and there was a melodious sound of the piano coming from inside, and she unconsciously strolled through it, looking for the sound of the piano.
One person stroked the piano in the Meilin Pavilion, and one person sat next to him, Mu Yunqi watched the two of them frequently look at each other and smile, the lady smiled dignifiedly, her posture was beautiful, and the men on the side looked at each other affectionately, and her eyes were completely her figure, as if she could no longer enter others.
The plum blossoms blown down by the wind fluttered and fell in front of Mu Yunqi's eyes, and she looked up. The mansha hanging under the carved eaves of the stone pavilion fluttered in the cold wind, and the light and beautiful sound of the piano came from the pavilion to Mu Yunqi's ears, she stood under the plum blossom tree and quietly looked at the pavilion, envious of the vision.
Mrs. Su casually glanced outside the pavilion and saw the woman under the plum tree, her figure was slender and graceful, her face was as cold as frost, and everything in the beautiful world where she stood there was discolored, making it difficult to take her eyes off.
She stopped stroking the piano and got up to look.
Mu Yunqi nodded slightly, and Shi Shiran walked towards the pavilion. Walking into the pavilion, she bowed deeply to the man sitting upright in the pavilion.
"Yun Yin, thank you for saving your life." She thanked softly.
"Haha, Miss Yunyin is polite, and the effort of her hands is not enough to worry about." The man's resolute and chic face was full of smiles, and his voice was hearty.
Mu Yunqi smiled, looked at Mrs. Su and said: "Fang Cai Lin listened to the soft sound of Mrs. Lin's piano, and couldn't help but walk in. She praised from the bottom of her heart.
Mrs. Su covered her lips and smiled, and said, "How can it be as good as Miss Yunyin said, it's just a casual play in your spare time." ”
"You are talking here, I am out of the village." Master Su Zhuang got up and said, and left with a smile after speaking.
"Madame and the owner are so enviable." Mu Yunqi looked at the back of the departing man and sighed.
"Miss Yunyin will definitely meet a man who treats you like this in the future." Mrs. Su raised her hand and motioned for her to sit down.
"Sister Yunyin, Sister Yunyin." Su Xunyan ran into the forest, panting and shouting.
When Mrs. Su saw her behavior, she looked at her with great displeasure.
"Your brother is awake." She ran into the pavilion and said immediately.
Mu Yunqi heard this, nodded to Mrs. Su sideways, and walked quickly with the hem of her skirt.
Su Xunyan left with her in her arms, and said in her heart that she should not stay behind and be instructed by her mother.
Walking all the way into the courtyard, I saw Gong Huan standing at the door of the room in white from a distance, his upright posture was not reduced at all, his face was pale and deep, and his eyes were faintly staring at the woman who walked into the corridor.
"It's good you're awake." She looked at him with the corners of her mouth raised, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that he was in the same shape as usual.
"Is it possible that Yun Yin wants me to lie on the couch?" He asked indifferently, his grim face solemn.
Mu Yunqi was slightly surprised, he didn't know why his tone was indifferent, he came back to his senses, and immediately pointed at the woman beside him: "Third brother, this is Miss Su, fortunately she rescued the owner of Su Zhuang that day." ”
Gong Huan frowned slightly, when did he become her third brother? But after a moment, he raised a smile and said to Su Xunyan: "Thank you Miss Su for your kindness." ”
That smile fell straight into Su Xunyan's heart, as if the sky that had been hazy for a long time suddenly opened and fogged away.
Her cheeks were crimson, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him again, and whispered, "You're welcome." She spoke very quietly, and her chest was pounding like a deer.
Mrs. Su walked in slowly from behind, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Childe can be regarded as waking up, is there still any discomfort right now?" ”
Mu Yunqi turned around and said, "This is Mrs. Su, Mrs. Zhuang. ”
"Thank you, Mrs. and the owner of the village." He bowed his hand again, a smile on his face.
Mrs. Su said with a smile: "Childe doesn't need to thank you, when you first wake up, if you feel unwell, you can call the doctor to come." ”
"I'm fine."
"That's good, the son just woke up, and the concubine left with the little girl, so I won't bother much." After speaking, she took Su Xunyan's hand and forced her to leave.
It's not that she didn't see the reluctance on Su Xunyan's face, but a daughter's family is so unreserved, wouldn't she be laughed at.
When the figures of the two disappeared from the corridor, Gong Huan turned around and stepped into the house, followed by Mu Yunqi.
"Is the palace master already good? You were really reckless that day, if you hadn't been saved by luck, you and I would have been buried forever under the snowy mountain. She walked over to him and pulled his wrist to take his pulse.
Gong Huan brushed her hand away, pulled up a touch of unnaturalness, got up and walked to the door frame with his back to her, and looked at the scene outside the house.
Of course, he knew that he was not thoughtful that day, and if he didn't roll down the mountain with her, he could immediately go down the mountain to rescue her, after all, she was just swept by the snow on the edge of the snow waves, not a deep and majestic force in the middle, as long as the rescue was timely, it should not be a big problem.
The subconscious reaction of the behavior is more real and more concerned than his heart, which he will never allow.
After a long time, he asked, "How many days have you and I been here?" ”
"I heard Mrs. Su say that I have been in a coma for three days, plus the two days after waking up, it should be five or six days." She recalled.
"It looks like it's time to leave, and we can't stay here any longer."
"It's a manor house isolated from the outside world." Mu Yunqi walked to his side and said.
Gong Huan looked at her sideways and said solemnly: "You can't help but underestimate your husband." ”
Mu Yunqi was stunned, his face returned to his usual cold and arrogant face, and he walked out of the door without saying a word and left.
Gong Huan looked at her back as she walked away quickly, and pressed the unknown emotions that surged under her. Between her and herself, there is a hatred that can never be erased, and she must not lose her heart.
Mu Yunqi stopped suddenly while walking, she didn't know why she was angry, as he said, Gu Hanxuan was her husband now, she was already branded with his traces, no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't change the fact that she had married into the East Palace with eight sedan chairs.
She stopped in the courtyard and looked up at the dark clouds rolling in the sky, and the foggy drowsiness was surging with slowly spreading clouds, which was daunting. Presumably a winter rain is coming, how can you still start your journey.
"Sister Yunyin." Su Xunyan walked to her side, followed her gaze to the sky, and then said, "The downpour is coming." It was rare to hear the sadness in her tone.
Mu Yunqi looked at her side and said, "Miss Su has something on her mind?" ”
"Sister Yunyin can just call me Xunyan." She whispered.
"Okay."
She grabbed Mu Yunqi's wrist and slowly walked towards her courtyard. She likes Mu Yunqi's gentle and elegant temperament very much, and she also hopes that she can behave elegantly and have good manners like her. But for many years, she has been riding a horse and archery with her father, and it is impossible for her to practice such a quiet virgin.
The raindrops fell in a daze, breaking the quiet courtyard, and a tumultuous raindrop beaten, and the wind blew the skirts of the two up.
"Sister Yunyin, let's go, go to your courtyard." She pulled Mu Yunqi and hurriedly walked forward.
If the heavy rain fell quickly, Mu Yunqi stood by the window lattice in the room, looking at the rain flowing from under the glazed roof tiles, and thought for a long time.
How could she have forgotten that she has an unspeakable affection for the rain, she likes to watch the rain quietly when it falls, in fact, she herself doesn't know how to express it, she just feels at ease, peace of mind for no reason. As if she was born in the rain, she thought countless times that the day she was born must have been a torrential rain, which is why she has a different emotion for the rainy day.
The thunder was deafening, echoing the sound of rain falling, and a gust of wind crackled the window sash shut, and then blew it open again.
"Sister Yunyin, how can you be cold here on such a cold day?" Su Xunyan walked in happily from outside the house, shouting at the woman standing on the window lattice as she walked.
She took her hand and walked to the table, took the stove and handed it to her.
"When my brother wakes up today, he must be leaving soon." Mu Yunqi said lightly and sat down on the stool elegantly.
Su Xunyan froze in place, tears slowly gathered in his eyes, and he whispered, "Sister Yunyin is leaving?" ”
Mu Yunqi chuckled, looked at her and said, "My brother and I are already passers-by in the villa, of course we have to go." ”
"But I can't bear my sister, Sujia Villa can support my sister for a lifetime." She walked to Mu Yunqi and said coquettishly.
"There is no feast in the world." She sighed with emotion, amused by Su Xunyan's immature words.
Su Xunyan stared at the table, not knowing what he was thinking. Thinking of the bright smile on the man's face on the road today, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, she wanted to keep Yunyin, and even more so to keep the man like the sun.
She got up suddenly and raised her voice: "Sister Yunyin, I'll leave first, and I won't accompany you for lunch later." After saying that, he ran out of the house with a smoke, as light and cheerful as a rabbit.
Mu Yunqi was confused, and felt extremely nostalgic for her freewheeling behavior, she used to be just like her, but at that time, she never felt that there was anything wrong with her behavior.
Ren Muyunqi would have never expected that the woman she envied would be so persistent and desperate for love many years later.
