Chen Xuan was holding a red umbrella, and under the red umbrella was a small soul. She stayed in Chen Xuan's arms obediently, looking curiously, and in her pure eyes, she received those people on the street who looked at her father with all kinds of eyes.

Wanwan didn't know what those eyes represented, she only knew that she was the same as before, she could be held by her father, and maybe she would be able to see her mother in a while.

When Wanwan was thinking about it, her mother appeared. Among the scattered pedestrians on the street, Li Wan'er appeared unexpectedly, and then rushed over like the wind, almost knocking down Chen Xuan, and almost knocking down the red umbrella he was holding in his hand.

"What are you doing, sir? It's good.,Why don't you go to a private school.。 I heard Mr. You say that it was the Chang Master of the Mansion who called you out, but did something happen? ”

"It's nothing! Nothing! It's just" Chen Xuan glanced at Xing Ruyi: "It's just that Master Chang informed me that I can go to see Wanwan." I was in a hurry, so I didn't tell you. ”

"I see." Li Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief. When I looked up, I saw Xing Ruyi, and I was slightly stunned, "Why is Miss Ruyi here?" ”

"Mrs. Chen!" Ruyi smiled: "I just don't know, should Ruyi call Mrs. hosta, or Wan'er?" ”

"Hosta?" Chen Xuan looked at his wife suspiciously: "Is this your original name?" It turns out that you and Miss Ruyi are old acquaintances. ”

"The master misunderstood, the concubine and the Ruyi girl are not old acquaintances."

"It's true that I just met, to be precise, this morning. It's just that Ruyi doesn't understand, it's just a name, why does Mrs. hide it? ”

The girl misunderstood, and deliberately tried to hide something from the girl. The hosta is indeed the name I used in the past, because before I met the master, something happened, so I changed the name. In the morning, the girl asked, and when she lost her mouth, she said the old name. My lord also knows, and since I married him, I have been staying at home all day. The new name, except for the occasional call from the master, has never been mentioned again, so" Li Wan'er lowered her eyes: "Please don't blame the Ruyi girl, the concubine is not deliberately deceiving." ”

"It's just a name, and Madame doesn't have to mind." Xing Ruyi looked at Wanwan and climbed onto Li Wan'er, and didn't say anything more.

Li Wan'er pursed her lips, and then focused her attention on Chen Xuan's body, seeing that he had been staring at herself, and holding a strange red umbrella in her hand, she asked, "What are you looking at, master?" And why do you have to hold such a bright red umbrella on the street? Looking at the weather, it doesn't look like it's going to rain. ”

"Madame misunderstood, this red umbrella is not to keep out the rain, but to shade the sun." Xing Ruyi glanced at Li Wan'er, this woman who looked very pleasing to the eye in the morning, she was inexplicably annoyed at this time.

"Late evening" Li Wan'er seemed a little unnatural between her eyebrows.

"In the morning, I heard my wife mention that she had just turned half a year old yesterday."

"Madame misremembers, right? She turned half a year old today. Without waiting for Li Wan'er to speak, Chen Xuan spoke first, so Li Wan'er's face became more and more difficult to look at.

"It turns out that today is the time when I will be half a year old in the evening. No wonder my wife goes to my shop in the morning to buy rouge gouache, I think it's also for the evening, right? Mrs. deliberately concealed her name, because she was afraid that Ruyi would know about the affairs of Mrs. Madame's family and give sympathy. Madame's words flickered at that time, her expression was unnatural, and she was afraid that she also remembered the events of the evening, and she was sad and unwilling to confide. ”

"It turns out that all of this has been shown by Miss Ruyi." Li Wan'er said, her face also showed a sad look, and she took the opportunity to lean on Chen Xuan's body: "It's not that the concubine deliberately conceals the old man, it's just that because of the late incident, the concubine has been grieving for many days, and her face is haggard." Today is a good day when she turns half a year old late, and the concubine thinks that she must always decorate it, so that when the master sees the concubine, he thinks of the evening, and he blames himself more and more in his heart. The concubine body doesn't want her to be uneasy when she leaves. As for the name, the lord also knows, and the concubine really doesn't want to recall the past, but the name has been called for a long time, and for a while, she actually showed her mouth. ”

"I understand, I understand, Madame doesn't have to mind, and she doesn't need to be sad. Wanwan also hopes that we will be well. Chen Xuan wanted to open his mouth several times and told Li Wan'er that it would be on her every night. But because of Xing Ruyi's warning gaze, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, lest Xing Ruyi get angry, and with a wave of his hand in front of his eyes, he would never be able to see Wanwan again.

"Today is the day when Wanwan turns half a year old, why don't you ask Madame to go and see Wanwan together?"

"Good, naturally good. I went for many days late, and the concubine was really panicked. Li Wan'er said, and leaned softly on Chen Xuan's body: "It's just that the concubine's body hasn't gotten better yet, and she was shocked by the master's thing just now, and she was a little dizzy and couldn't stand steadily." ”

"In this case, please ask Chen Gongzi to help Mrs. Chen!" Xing Ruyi said, and also helped Li Wan'er. Obviously he was helping people, but in fact, he fished Wanwan into his arms, and by the way, he also took the red umbrella.

Chen Xuan nodded in thanks, and naturally pretended not to see what had just happened.

From Chen Xuanjiao's private school to the Yizhuang of the government, the distance is actually unwilling, but the sound of books in one place is silent.

In front of Chen Xuan and Li Wan'er, Xing Ruyi carefully used a knife to remove the carrion on Wanwan's body that had been scorched by the fire, and then took out the embroidery needles one by one. The needles were very thin, some were whole, some were broken, but without exception, they were all very deep.

"Chen Xuan, you once said that Wanwan has always been carried by Mrs. Chen, so can you please explain these needles?"

Li Wan'er's face turned pale, and when she saw Chen Xuan glaring at her with red eyes, she shook her head again and again: "It's not me!" Not me! I don't know how Wanwan has these horrible things on her. It was the people of Yizhuang who did it, and it must be them. In order to ask for more money, they pierced Wanwan with these many needles. Master, you must be the master of the night, our daughter is so pitiful. ”

"Red mouth and white teeth, Madame's mouth, don't say some nonsense!" The janitor walked out of nowhere, and when he heard Li Wan'er's words, he stared at her coldly with the only half of his remaining eyes: "My Yizhuang, although it is not a good place, I came clearly and left innocently." Don't say that I don't have embroidery needles here, and even if I do, I can't use them on a burned child. Madame can go out and ask, have I ever received half a penny from someone else? ”

"I" Li Wan'er was so frightened by the janitor, her already pale face became more and more bloodless. She grabbed Chen Xuan's hand tightly and bit her lip aggrievedly: "You misunderstood, the concubine didn't mean that." I mean, I just want to say that I don't know who had such a vicious mind and stuck a needle in Wanwan's body. ”

"Isn't the person who gave birth to such a vicious mind be you, madam?" The janitor still stared at Li Wan'er coldly: "The so-called people are doing it, and the sky is watching." When this child is alive, he may not be able to open his mouth or speak. But she died, and became a lonely ghost wandering in this world, and what this little ghost said was true. Madame, would you like to hear it? ”

Li Wan'er gasped, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

The time has come for the punishment to be opinionated, so he stretched out his hand and gently wiped it in front of Li Wan'er's eyes. The weather that was originally sunny turned gray in an instant. Li Wan'er opened her eyes in horror, and as far as she could see, was her delicate and lovely daughter.

The tense nerves finally broke.

"Do you want me to tell you the whole truth?" Xing Ruyi's voice was also cold. Chen Xuan said that she has always been very well-behaved in the evening. It's not that she doesn't know how to cry, it's your neglect that makes her mature prematurely. Actually, it's nothing. The more arrogant the child, the more difficult it is to become a climate. It's like a newborn child, if you don't hug her and coax her, she will obediently lie down and play by herself, but if you hug and coax, she will take the opportunity to be coquettish, becoming more and more difficult to coax, and more and more unwell-behaved. Although you are very well-behaved Wanwan, as a mother, you still hate her. Even if she cries occasionally, you can't help but want to punish her. She doesn't like to wear shoes recently, not because she grows fast and her shoes don't fit, but because she has been pricked by you and her feet hurt, so she doesn't want to be touched. ”

"That's right! You're right! I hate her, and I hate her very, very much! ”

"Wan'er, you"

"Don't call me Wan'er, I don't want to hear that name again." Li Wan'er covered her ears hard: "Master, do you know?" I used to love the name. Because you chose it for me, because when you called me Wan'er, your voice was so gentle and so good. The hosta is different, it is the name of the maid, which was given to me by my former master. Then, with that name, I became that man's concubine, I was wantonly abused by him, wantonly bullied by the eldest lady, I used to feel that hosta was the darkest past in my life. However, I met you and had a new name, Wan'er. How nice it sounded, I thought my life would be different from now on. ”

"Your life has indeed changed!"

"That was before Wanwan was born!" Li Wan'er roared in a heart-splitting voice: "Before that little girl was born, my life was indeed different. Master, you treat me very well, spoil me, love me, and give me the care I have never had. I feel very happy, really, really happy. But here she is! The day she was born, I was so painful, I wanted you to hug me and accompany me, but you only have her in your eyes. You named her Wanwan, from then on, all you thought, read, and shouted was Wanwan, you called me Niangzi, called me Wanwanniang, but never called me Wan'er again. So, I hate her, it was she who took away everything I was supposed to have. ”

"But, Wanwan is also your daughter!" Chen Xuan held his head, unable to withstand this series of blows.
