Fu'an opened the curtain for Song Zhi, pushed the door in, and a warm bitter medicine came to his face, Song Zhi's heart was sour, and he almost burst into tears. There were two charcoal basins in the room, both of which were made of fine silver filigree charcoal, and there was no smell of smoke at all. This basket alone costs fifty taels, and one basket can only be used for five or six days.

The room was very dark, and the window paper was replaced with airtight kraft paper, and the wind could not enter, and the light could not enter.

"Childish sister?" A very soft woman's voice sounded, and Song Zhi lifted the hem of her skirt and walked a few steps to Lin Tianqing's bedside.

"Sitting farther away from me, it's all bitter medicine." Lin Tianqing couldn't even get up, so she could only lie on the bed and talk to Song Zhi.

"Leave me alone." Fu'an moved an embroidery pier for Song Zhi to sit on, and Song Zhi sat in front of Lin Tianqing's bed. "When I came back to give you the Four Seasons Begonia, my spirit was obviously very good, why haven't I seen it for a few days......

Song Zhi's eyes were slightly red, but he held back his tears and didn't let them fall.

"My sister gave me the Four Seasons Begonia, I think I am like it, blooming all seasons." Lin Tianqing's eyelids were black and blue, her lips were gray, and her face was not rosy at all. "It's just that sister, probably not so good blessings."

If she closed her eyes at this moment, she would be no different from a dead person. How far has this body been defeated to be like this?

"Sister, you are not allowed to say that." Song Zhi is actually the person who understands the most in her heart, but she still doesn't want to admit it.

People who have been tormented by illness all year round usually have a more irritable temperament, but Lin Tianqing is a very gentle person. She was also such a decayed body in her previous life, and she rarely came out to walk around, so Song Zhi didn't have much contact with her, and in this life, she knew her death date, so she also had some inexplicable fears, and she only sent a pot of Four Seasons Begonia on that day.

This time, I really saw her decayed appearance, and my heart was full of pity for this girl, she came to the world once, is it just to suffer?

Lin Tianqing and Song Zhi were talking, their heads tilted slightly, and gradually there was no sound. Song Zhi panicked, hurriedly got up to check, and almost knocked over the stool. Seeing her actions, Fu'an hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Miss Cousin, Miss has been like this lately, she is tired after a conversation, and she will have to sleep for a while to recover." ”

Song Zhi was relieved at this time, she glanced at Fu'an, only to see that the expression on her face was wooden, there was no joy, and she noticed Song Zhi's eyes, so she pulled out a bleak smile. But, how could Song Zhi bear to blame her? How can you be happy after staying with this long-sick person for a long time? I could only tell a few words and left.

……

In the days after returning from Lin Tianqing, Song Zhi was sullen. The Lin family was busy with Song Jian's marriage again, and there was no time to restrain Song Zhi. After Song Ling came back from the winter break in the martial arts, she thought of coaxing her to go out to play.

Yue Shi Lou is the tallest restaurant in the capital, with a total of five floors, and there are only five rooms on the fifth floor. There are large spacing between each room, ensuring the privacy of guests. These five rooms have been contracted all year round, and the scaly diving room that Song Ling brought Song Zhi here today is the room that has been chartered by the Dingbei Royal Mansion all year round.

Xiao Er got the dishes together, made a gesture of invitation, and went out quietly. "How much silver does it cost to charter this room for a long time?" Song Zhi looked at Yanfei Pagoda in the distance and asked.

"I didn't ask for more than a few thousand taels." Song Ling added a piece of boiled cabbage heart with chopsticks, and just wanted to put it in her mouth, but suddenly lost her appetite, so she put it on the small plate in front of her.

Out of the corner of Song Zhi's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Song Ling's series of movements, then turned back to look at him, and asked, "Brother, have you found the person I'm looking for?" ”

Song Ling nodded, and a gust of cold wind blew in through the gap in the window, and Song Zhi's feather earrings on his cheeks shook slightly.

Song Ling got up and closed the window tightly, and answered the question: "Are your earrings made of big goo feathers, or small goo feathers?" "Big Gu and Little Gu are the names that Song Zhi gave to those two parrots.

"It's made of Big Goo's feathers, and it likes to eat pine nuts, and the color of its feathers is more beautiful than that of Little Goo." Song Zhi touched the soft feather earrings, and she called helplessly, "Brother." ”

"Child, how did you know about that woman?" Song Ling had a cold face, Song Zhi asked him to check Song Jian's nurse last time, but he didn't tell him the reason, but just said that it was related to Song Jian. Since Song Ling found out about this matter, she has never been able to figure it out. This matter is so pickled and hidden, how could Song Zhi know the relationship between that woman and Song Jian.

Song Zhi looked at the worried and angry look on Song Ling's face, looked away, and landed on the sleeve quiver on Song Ling's wrist.

In her previous life, although Zhang Xinlan only gave birth to a daughter, she had two children under her name, and she always claimed that she gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, but the boy was weak and kept in the temple to pray for blessings, and he took it back when he was older.

Song Zhi knew that the boy was Song Jian's illegitimate son, and he didn't pick it up until he was three years old. At this time, he was already powerful, and the Zhang family couldn't help it. Besides, the identity of the child's biological mother is low, and there is only a small concubine name when she comes back, and the child is a boy, and it is still recorded in Zhang Xinlan's name, so they have defected and persuaded Zhang Xinlan to accept it.

Although Song Zhi didn't know Zhang Xinlan's thoughts, he only put himself in his shoes, and felt that this matter was really disgusting, if he knew about it before marriage, would he still be able to get married?

Song Zhi made a rough calculation in his heart, this child should be born soon, so the top priority is to find the woman quickly.

She had heard a word or two about that woman from Ruixi's mouth. He seemed to be very disgusted with this matter, and only missed a sentence or two, saying that the concubine was not the child's biological mother, and the real biological mother was many years older than Song Jian, and Song Zhi thought of someone.

"When I was five years old, when my mother first moved me to live in Ruyi Pavilion, I often couldn't sleep at night, so I quietly slipped out to play. Occasionally, I met elderly mothers gossiping under the porch, talking about some old things in the house, and I listened to the story. Many of the things they said I forgot as I grew up. ”

Song Zhi didn't want to tell Song Ling a lie, but the rebirth was too unbelievable, so she could only make up a false box and put the truth in it for Song Ling.

"Since the beginning of winter, I often think that my eldest brother is coming back, and I am a little scared, and I often have nightmares at night."

"Why didn't you tell me!" Song Ling couldn't help but interrupt what Song Zhi said, but Song Zhi just smiled and shook his head.

"A few days before I told my brother about it, I had another strange dream in which I was back to the little child, hiding around the corner and listening to the mothers. I had forgotten all those words, but they were crystal clear in my dreams. Song Zhi shrank slightly, and his face gradually turned pale. Song Ling was distressed, so she hurriedly moved the charcoal basin closer and sat down beside Song Zhi again.

Song Zhi's eyes were empty, as if he was reminiscing, "Mother Fang said that the people in the eldest young master's room are too unruly, he is so old, and he is still a nurse on duty at night." Liu's mother picked up and said, maybe she has to feed night milk. ”

Song Zhi raised his eyes to look at Song Ling, with deep fear in his eyes, "Brother, do you remember?" Those mothers, one after another, died in the following year. Fang's mother drowned, Zhao's mother fell from the rockery and died, and Liu's mother died of illness, but now it seems that it is not necessarily. And the nurse of the eldest brother also quit her job in the same year, but I suspect that this matter is not so simple. ”

"Why?" Song Ling only had a vague impression of these things, and when Song Zhi talked about them like this, he felt that something was wrong.

"After the Zheng family went, there were three of her people left in the house, one of the Liu family had gone, Zhao's mother also went, and the other was the nurse of the eldest brother, who was the same as the Liu family, who was originally Zheng's henchman. Zheng was closer to her, but she didn't go out early, gave birth to a child and came back to be a nurse for her eldest brother. The eldest brother now lives in Zheng's original yard, and the furnishings in Zheng's house have not been touched at all, and with his paranoid nature, he will not let the nurse go. I think it's strange that I have nightmares these days, and I often dream of the appearance of those mothers. Everything about my big brother always scared me, so I wanted my brother to find out. ”

Song Ling looked at Song Zhi, he just licked his lips uneasily and didn't say a word.

"Brother thinks I'm weird?" Song Zhi's heart sank little by little, her words were full of loopholes, and it was normal for Song Ling not to believe it.

"No, my father and mother can't see clearly, but I know the temperament of their brother and sister, if they turn their backs on them, they will definitely pounce on them without hesitation. It's better to strike first than to be bitten off by a wolf. As soon as Song Ling closed her eyes, she seemed to be able to smell the earthy smell in the trap and the decomposing smell of animal corpses. If there is one more handle of Song Blade in his hand, Song Ling doesn't mind at all, but ......

"Do you have something to hide from me?" Song Ling asked.

"Yes, but I don't want to say." Song Zhi said simply.

Song Ling nodded, and he didn't force it, he spoke: "That woman lives in a house on the outskirts of Beijing. He pursed his lips again, apparently still unfinished.

"Brother?" Song Zhi was puzzled and couldn't help urging.

"She's pregnant." Song Ling rubbed the corners of her forehead, as if she couldn't stand the news, "My subordinates collected her daily medicine residue, all of which were fetal pills, and the doctor said that this fetal pills were used by women who were about to give birth, nine months, and they happened to be pregnant when he left." ”

It turned out that it was really born by this woman, no wonder! No wonder! Song Jian is such a kind person, he actually left a nurse to serve by his side for so many years, and that concubine room is just a disguise, a fig leaf for his son's life experience!
