Chapter 12: Implicit (I)
"Mother-in-law, don't do this!" Yin Xian saw her mother-in-law crying, and hurriedly comforted, "The matter is over, it will pass, why is my mother-in-law wrong?" ”
The mother-in-law wiped her tears and couldn't cry, "I already knew that Miss and Young Master Yan were happy, and I have been hiding it from the owner of the village for them." I also know that the owner doesn't like him and the people of the Yan family. If it weren't for that night, Miss and Young Master Yan discussed eloping...... Hey, it's all old slaves with a lot of mouths, this stinky mouth. As he spoke, he began to slap himself.
"Grandma, grandma!" Wu Shi happened to rush back, and when he saw such a situation, he hurriedly ran over and grabbed his mother-in-law's hand, "Grandma, what are you doing!" ”
"Someone found?" Duan Huanian said calmly.
Wu Shi nodded, and seeing that her mother-in-law was still emotionally unstable, he patted her back and comforted: "Grandma, don't cry, I won't comfort people, come, wipe your face." So he took a handkerchief.
The mother-in-law was already crying a little out of breath at the moment, and only then did she take a breath under Wu Shi's patting on the back.
"It's all the old slave's mouth, if it weren't for the old slave who saw that the two of them were going to elope, he felt that it was inappropriate, and told the owner, the young lady would not have died, and Young Master Yan would not have fallen into today's field."
"This ......" everyone was still suspicious, expressing puzzlement.
The mother-in-law looked at the sky and sighed, her cloudy eyes full of the past. "Old slave, take you to a place."
The mother-in-law led them to a half-dilapidated room, which was dark inside, but it looked like it had not been inhabited for a long time. All the equipment in the house has been wiped clean, and now Qionghuazhuang is declining, and the ruins can be seen everywhere, but this room is different, and it is very well preserved, and it can be seen how much the manager cares about it. The tables and chairs are made of sandalwood, and the utensils are brightly colored. It seems that the previous owner's status in the village is not too low.
"Could it be that this is Miss Qionghua's boudoir?!" Yin Xian asked.
The mother-in-law nodded, "Although the young lady has been gone for two years, the owner of the village has ordered the old slave to clean it every day, and the utensils used by the young lady are all ......used by the young lady before her death."
"I didn't expect that the owner of the village to have such a side," Wu Shi pouted and crossed his waist, "I just think she has always been an old witch." ”
"Wu Shi!" Duan Huanian glanced at it, Wu Shi had no choice but to be quick for a while, and lowered his head obediently. "You go to the door of the house of the owner of Qiongzhuang and keep guard, and report any movements."
"Ahh I also want to see Miss Qionghua's ......" Wu Shi put on a bitter and hateful look, but seeing that Duan Huanian no longer ignored him, he knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he had to hang his head and take the order in a sneering manner.
Yin Xian was carried by Duan Huanian, walking around the room, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of boxes at the head of the bed, only to see that the boxes were beautifully made, and the boxes were inlaid with carvings, which seemed to be high-quality products with a lot of price.
Yin Xian motioned to her mother-in-law, can you pick it up and watch, her mother-in-law nodded, and for a while, as if she had touched something sad, she turned around and silently wiped her tears and cried.
Yin Xian opened one of the boxes, but before she could react, a pile of letters fell out of the box. Yin Xian hurriedly wanted to pick it up, not wanting to hurt her foot, so she fell to the ground for a while, gritted her teeth and gasped several times.
"Madame, don't move! Let's let the old slave pick it up. The mother-in-law wiped her face with her sleeve, but where the tears were wiped away, there were still traces like ravines.
Yin Xian only felt guilty and hurriedly apologized, and Duan Huanian also squatted down to help Grandma tidy up. Suddenly, Duan Huanian noticed the petal-like objects scattered out, picked them up and put them in his hands, and looked at them carefully, but he still couldn't see why.
"Mother-in-law, what is this?" Duan Huanian asked.
The mother-in-law narrowed her eyes, stared at it for a while, and then sighed, "Back then, Young Master Yan and Miss often corresponded, and it is estimated that Young Master Yan sent it to Miss along with the letter. The mother-in-law paused and thought for a while, "Back then, it was the old slave who secretly went out to receive the letter for the young lady, and every time the young lady disliked the letter from the young master Yan, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, and the old slave was rare to see the young lady smile so happily." ”
Rare...... Laugh?
Yin Xian's heart trembled slightly, and then she looked at the letter in her hand. The beautiful envelope, with light-colored dark lines, the smell of the box, and the faint fragrance of flowers on the letterhead. Everywhere it shows that Ming is a bright girl.
"Miss Qionghua, are you having a good time here?" Yin Xian muttered to herself.
The mother-in-law didn't answer, just picked up the letter, and tears fell to the ground one by one, "Perhaps, the owner of the village is always strict with the young lady." Therefore, Miss, unlike girls of the same age, has so many interesting things to do. ”
Speaking of this, the voice began to choke again, and the hand holding the letter began to tremble, almost taking it off, "Miss is in the village, always talking to the old slave, and the old slave treats the young lady as his granddaughter, but ......"
"If the old slave fulfills Young Master Yan and Miss, Miss should be alive and well now."
Duan Huanian finally spoke, "Yan Yan hated because the owner of Qiongzhuang did not agree to the marriage? ”
"Young Master Yan came to the village to propose marriage many times, but was rejected by the owner, and punished Young Master Yan for kneeling in the snow all night, and later the young lady died, Young Master Yan hated the owner...... It is also natural to hate old slaves. ”
"In this way, the bell must be tied to the bell, doesn't it mean that Yan Yan has been found, and the next person should bring him back at this moment." Duan Huanian placed all the letters neatly, respectfully placed them in the box, pulled up Yin Xian, and walked outside.
Yin Xian looked back at her mother-in-law in the house, a little unbearable, so she asked, "Won't your mother-in-law come along?" ”
The mother-in-law smiled bitterly, "Let the old slave be quiet here and sort out the sins." ”
Foyer, snow solstice.
Yan Yan was injured and couldn't walk far, but when he reached the back mountain, he was chased back and tied up. These subordinates are not angry, but the gangsters who have come to Qionghuazhuang many times to make trouble before are employed by Yan Yan, and in the past few years, they have made these inferior errands angry, so they vented their new hatred and old grievances on him.
When Yin Xian and Duan Huanian arrived, Yan Yan's beaten skin was rotten, his qi was weak and weak, and there was no good meat where the rope was tied. If it weren't for Yin Xian and the others coming, those subordinates would still want to continue to dance with sticks.
"What to do? It's the young master of the Yan family, you guys really don't have a lot of brains! Careful your skin! Yin Xian scolded sharply, then people were stupid, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but shiver a few times, and hurriedly hid their faces.
Duan Huanian let go of the rope for Yan Yan, and the rope was full of blood, and it became extremely heavy, like an iron chain, and a whole piece of skin and flesh was torn off when he pulled it. Yan Yan was in pain at the moment, but he didn't have the strength to scream.
"How can this be?" Yin Xian was a little flustered.
Duan Huanian checked carefully, although the injury was serious, but it stopped at the flesh and skin, it was just more painful to eat, and it did not hinder his life, and Qionghuazhuang was frozen all the year round, and the wound was not easy to be infected and festered, but it would probably take many days to heal.
"Stop the bleeding first, then make a fire and warm him up, it's too cold on him." Saying that, Duan Huanian was about to go to find the brazier, his foot was grabbed, and he lowered his head, but Yan Yan stopped him.
Yan Yan's lips were already pale, his expression was very bad, and his eyes began to collapse, "Please, don't take it, brazier, don't fire ......"
"Why?" Yin Xian was a little anxious, "You are too cold on your body, so your body will not be able to bear it."
"Qionghua...... Don't be angry......" The words that came out of his mouth intermittently were not sentenced, and it was really difficult for others to understand. Every time he said one more word, the blood flowing from the wound would increase a few points, Yin Xian wanted to tell him not to say it again, but he showed a relieved expression, and still muttered.
"Qionghua...... Propose...... Decide...... Take you...... Let's walk ......"
"What?" Duan Huanian leaned to his mouth and carefully identified it, "You mean that you went to Qionghuazhuang to propose marriage and want to take Qionghua away?" ”
Yan Yan nodded and continued, "Sanniang...... Kneel...... Punishment for kneeling...... Locked up ......"
"Sanniang disagrees and asks you to kneel outside the door? Locked up Qionghua? Duan Huanian continued to listen.
Yan Yan continued, "Qionghua...... Myself...... Fire...... Dead ......"
"What?!" Duan Huanian's face was full of surprise, "You say, Qionghua ran into the sea of fire by herself?!" ”
Yan Yan fainted at this moment, and there was no movement.
