Lan Xin's thoughts hadn't left his brother's grief yet, and he said blankly, "Why? I heard that the other party is a deaf and dumb old man, although he has some family background, but I am still so young, I don't want to live with such a person for the rest of my life. ”

"If you don't get married, you can be in danger." Cao Ran took a deep breath, and said with pity: "Chun Liangdi personally set you up at this time, it is likely that she has already killed you, your brother has just died, if you do it at this time, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of others." But if you stay in the house, there will be a risk of news leakage, so she will be so anxious to marry you out of the house, if you don't get married, she will definitely use other methods to deal with you. ”

"But if I get married, won't she kill me?" Lan Xin frowned, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

"You are far away from the palace, you will not pose a threat to her, and your life should not be in danger. So you have to leave the palace first and then find a chance to escape. ”

Lan Xin knew that Cao Ran's analysis was reasonable, it was not that she had not suspected her brother's death, but she had no evidence to prove all this, and no one would believe her if she was empty.

"Escape? Where can I escape? I've been dependent on my brother since I was a child, and where can I go without him? I'm afraid I won't be able to avenge my brother in this life."

Cao Ran didn't know how to answer Lan Xin, how could there be Cao Ran's own place in the big world? But you can't just let someone slaughter you. She really wanted to help Lan Xin, even if she didn't know exactly how to help her, at least Lan Xin had to live first.

The sound of joy came from outside the courtyard gate in the distance, and it was a sedan chair to welcome relatives.

Cao Ran clenched Lan Xin's hand, her white fingers were still trembling with sobbing, and her eyes looked at the red wedding dress on the side with empty eyes.

"Lan Xin, you have to believe that as long as you live, there will be hope for everything, and life will start again." Cao Ran picked up the comb on the table, combed Lan Xin's sideburns, and put on a festive red wedding dress.

"Lan Xin, are you okay, the sedan chair for welcoming the relatives has arrived outside the door." is still the delicate voice, and the person who pushed the door in was Chun Liangdi.

Chun Liangdi was still wearing the light cyan robe of that day, the white hosta between her temples was shining, and a pair of bright apricot eyes saw Cao Ran standing behind Lan Xin become a little sharper, and she was a little surprised: "Why are you here?" Without waiting for Cao Ran to answer, he raised his eyes and looked at the lame eunuch beside him.

The eunuch beside her bent down and replied, "Hui Liangdi, she came to visit Lan Xin, and it just so happened that Lan Xin needed someone to help her dress up before she got married, so I let her in." ”

Chun Liangdi saw that Lan Xin had changed into a happy suit, and she was trying to persuade herself, and she didn't say much to Cao Ran. Smiling, he walked over and handed Lan Xin a somewhat quaint small wooden box: "This is some of the jewelry I have accumulated over the years, my monthly salary is not as precious as the princess, but it is worth some silver taels, you can take it as a dowry." ”

Lan Xin didn't speak, her crying red eyes reflected the red wedding dress, and she looked at Chun Liangdi like a burning fire. Chun Liangdi's hand holding the wooden box was still there, seeing that her kindness was not appreciated by Lan Xin, and her smile froze on her face and she was a little embarrassed. Chun Liangdi walked to the side of the bed and was about to put the wooden box into the wrapped clothes, when suddenly Lan Xin rushed over and stabbed her fiercely with scissors.

The sharp scissors did not stab Chun Liangdi's body, but was saved by the wooden box in her hand. Lan Xin missed a blow and was taken away by the lame eunuch, and the scissors were subdued to the ground.

"You little slut who doesn't know what to do, you dare to stab Liangdi, you're really tired of being crooked!" The lame eunuch kicked Lan Xin fiercely.

"Let her go." Chun Liangdi calmly glanced at the scratch on her wrist, oozing blood but not deep wound, and turned to Lan Xin who was embarrassed on the ground with an indifferent face: "It doesn't matter if you don't appreciate it, your brother will inevitably be a little emotionally out of control as soon as he leaves, as long as you are willing to be obedient, it doesn't matter what you think of me." ”

The wooden box was knocked to the ground, and several hostas fell out, Chun Liangdi picked up the hosta and put it on the side of the bed, and inadvertently stopped for a moment on the clothes changed from the bed. Cao Ran also followed his gaze, and it was the two mint sachets embroidered with lotus flowers.

Lan Xin saw that he missed a blow, and there was no sharp weapon around him to attack, so he was left to say angrily to Chun Liangdi's departing back: "Since I can't avenge my brother, you might as well kill me." ”

Chun Liangdi ignored Lan Xin's words, she naturally wouldn't kill Lan Xin. Lan Xin is the person next to her, if something happens, she will cause trouble, but if she marries Lan Xin out in such a beautiful way, not only will Lan Xin not have anything to do with her in the future, but she will also leave a good reputation as a kind little master in the eyes of outsiders.

"Papapa" Lan Xin smashed the jewelry sent by Chun Liangdi to the ground one by one. "Did she think pretending to be kind would cover up her viciousness? I only hate myself, I can't kill her with my own hands! ”

Cao Ran understands Lan Xin's heartache of losing her loved ones, but she is glad that Lan Xin didn't really kill Chun Liangdi just now. She stroked Lan Xin's face and said with a hint of throbbing pain in her heart: "If you just killed her, you can't escape." It's not the ending I want to see, and it's not what your brother wants to see. He wants you to live well, and everything he suffers is for you to live well, doesn't he? ”

After Cao Ran's comfort, Lan Xin calmed down a lot. The greeters outside the door have been waiting for a long time, and after some repairs, Lan Xin was finally sent to the sedan chair.

The groom sitting on a small donkey outside the narrow side door is estimated to be middle-aged, and the donkey under the pressure is listless, and the man grins and babbles to express his joy. The donkey followed Lan Xin and sat in the sedan chair carried by the two, and through the somewhat transparent curtain, Lan Xin's twitching shoulders could be faintly seen, which was the impression left in Cao Ran's mind when she saw Lan Xin's marriage.

She hopes that Lanxin can get off to a better start.

Seeing off the people who greeted their relatives, it was already getting dark. Cao Ran walked quickly along the unfamiliar path through the Moon Ning Garden, in the direction he came. She didn't expect to come to see Lan Xin for so long, so she didn't bring a night light when she came out, seeing that it was about to get dark, although there would be lights near the courtyard building not far away, but it was still too dark.

Walking in a hurry, the corner of the skirt hung in the bushes on the side without paying attention. Smear bent down and tugged, but fortunately it wasn't scratched. After getting up, he vaguely saw a figure not far behind him, and the faint light in the distance was rising and falling.
