Chapter 68: A Great Grievance
Leng Nanxian was tending to the herbs in the backyard, his sleeves rolled up, revealing his wheat-colored strong arms, and he was engrossed.
At this time, the sun was hot, and a thin layer of sweat hung on his forehead. Occasionally, a fresh breeze blows, and most of it dissipates.
"Master, I'm here." An Sheng got rid of the predicament, relieved, and in a better mood, and jumped straight to the front, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
Leng Nanxian lowered his head and ignored it, a lock of black hair fell and wrapped around the collar, black and white.
"Master." An Sheng squatted down beside him, speechless: "These herbs grow so fast, and the aroma is good." β
"What is a medicine house? Come as you want, or leave as you want? Leng Nanxian poured a basin of cold water on An Sheng.
An Sheng smiled: "No, it's after being busy, the apprentice saw that it was still early and there was nothing to do, so he couldn't wait to run over again." β
Leng Nanxian looked up, saw An was panting with anger, and there was light sweat on his forehead, he frowned slightly, and blamed: "Why don't you send someone to talk to Leng Bo when you want to go out, let him wait for you at the street corner for nearly half an hour, and rush to the house to inquire, only to know that you went out." β
An Sheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and his face was full of astonishment: "Mother said that Uncle Wang, the coachman, came over in advance to help the apprentice ask for leave from the master." β
Leng Nanxian knew An Sheng's temperament, so he shouldn't lie, sighed lightly, eased his face, and no longer tightened his face: "Since you want to go out to play, why don't you have a good time, and what do you do when you run back?" β
An Sheng remembered the rest of his life after the catastrophe, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and went to pull the weeds in the medicine garden: "There is nothing fun, the apprentice just wants to stay with the master in the medicine house." β
Leng Nanxian didn't want to continue to ask, handed the flower hoe in his hand to An Sheng, and said angrily: "Punish you to clean up this weed, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat at noon!" β
"Yes, yes." An Sheng grinned and reached out to pick up the flower hoe, his fingertips brushing over the back of Leng Nanxian's hand.
Leng Nanxian paused, glanced down, and then stood up suddenly, with obvious anger evaporating from his body.
"What exactly did you do?" Leng Nanxian looked at An Sheng condescendingly, his face sinking like water.
An Sheng was a little puzzled, and slowly stood up: "I didn't go anywhere, I just followed my mother to the silk village in the south of the city, and then walked all the way back." β
"Silk Village? Are you going to keep lying? β
Leng Nanxian's voice was low, with a cold chill.
"I don't dare to lie, I did go to the silk village in the south of the city, and my mother said that she would pick out two autumn clothes for me."
Leng Nanxian's face became more and more ugly, and he grabbed her wrist, pursed her thin lips, and her eyes burned: "You are obviously harmful!" β
"I didn't!" Ansheng immediately denied it.
"None? So what's going on with your hand? β
An Sheng twisted his face and looked at it, and suddenly realized that it was when Shicai drugged the back of his mother-in-law, due to his urgency, he directly grabbed the medicine powder with his hands, and he was also poisoned by the medicine powder, and both fingers were red and swollen.
Because there are few pores on her fingertips, she is not very sensitive to itching, and she is at a critical juncture, and her body is stretched into a string, and she is not aware of it. I didn't expect to be recognized by Leng Nanxian at a glance.
An Sheng lowered his head and muttered to cover up: "It is true that I accidentally came across a little medicinal powder today." β
Leng Nanxian was silent for a long time, stared at her coldly, and then said word by word: "I thought you wouldn't touch those harmful things in the future!" β
An Sheng felt more and more aggrieved in his heart, and he didn't want to be wronged by Leng Nanxian, but he didn't know how to mention this ugly matter to him. Selling to a eunuch is no less than a shame for her, like uncovering her own bloody scars and revealing the ugliest places to others.
"It's not harmful...... An Sheng argued.
Leng Nanxian sneered and glared angrily, and shook off her hand: "Xia Ansheng!" β
He called her by name and surname, his face was tight, his eyebrows were frowning into a pimple, and he said righteously: "I have said many times for the teacher, and the teacher hates people who have improper intentions and use poison to harm people's lives, even if they are tricks!" Last time, I connived at you, but now that you are my Leng Nanxian's apprentice and the protΓ©gΓ© of the Medicine King, you must know how to be self-disciplined, and you can't smear my Medicine King. I thought that after listening to Master's teachings, you would change your life and stop touching these harmful things, but I didn't expect you to get even worse! And unrepentant, cheering up! β
"No, Master......" An Sheng wanted to defend himself, but his words were incoherent.
"Don't call me Master, from today onwards, I am no longer your Master, I will not teach you these harmful things, and I can't tolerate you in this medicine house."
Leng Nanxian's words were categorical, like a giant hammer hitting An Sheng's heart, making her body shock.
"Don't, Master, don't drive An Sheng away!"
An Sheng eagerly stepped forward to grab Leng Nanxian's sleeve, but Leng Nanxian waved his hand angrily, and the sleeve slid across An Sheng's face with a strong wind and brushed away.
"Immediately, pack up your things and leave the medicine house."
"No, Master, listen to me! Ansheng is really a last resort. β
An Sheng unwillingly chased after two steps, Leng Nanxian turned around abruptly, staring at her with surging anger: "I don't want to listen to the excuses you make up." It's my clumsy eyes that I missee you. β
An Sheng was wronged by this, only felt that his nose was sour, the tip of his throat was choked, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
The medicine house is not big, Qianzhou and Sister-in-law Feng in the front yard heard the two arguing, and rushed over when they heard the sound, and they were a little surprised when they heard that Leng Nanxian was going to drive An Sheng away.
The people in the medicine house are thin, and Qianzhou is in awe of Leng Nanxian, and he doesn't dare to be reckless in front of him. And he and Sister-in-law Feng can't talk about those parents. An Sheng is old with him, and he is clever and tolerant of him many times and four times, so after getting along for more than ten days, the two have released their previous suspicions, and the relationship has gradually become harmonious. Behind the scenes, he avoided Leng Nanxian, laughed and scolded, fought and played, and his feelings were just right.
Therefore, he was the first to speak: "Childe, is there any misunderstanding?" β
Leng Nanxian glared at him coldly, and he immediately shut up in recognition.
Although Sister-in-law Feng has just come back, An Sheng is diligent, methodical and organized, which makes her fall in love with this smart and capable little girl at first sight. Seeing that An Sheng's eyes were red with grievances, but he held back tears, he felt distressed.
"Qianzhou, send her away, don't step into the medicine house in the future." Leng Nanxian commanded coldly, unquestionable.
Qianzhou looked at him, and then at An Sheng, in a dilemma.
An Sheng had been holding back the tears, pretending to be relaxed, at this moment, hearing Leng Nanxian's sentence "Don't step into the medicine house again", he completely collapsed, and his tears rolled down like a flood that broke the embankment.
"Master, you can drive An Sheng away, but why don't you give An Sheng a chance to explain?"
Leng Nanxian didn't know why he paused and put his hand on the door of the study, but he hit An Sheng mercilessly with a cold face: "No matter what the reason, it's not right to harm people!" β
"If I don't hurt anyone, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the medicine house today!"
An Sheng touched a handful of tears fiercely, and the grievances full of grievances all erupted with this justification, and he couldn't cry.
Leng Nanxian's back stiffened.
"Do you know that I came back here to escape death? Shicai, I did go to the silk village in the south of the city, and it was true that I went to choose clothes, but you don't know, the real conspiracy behind this is that my mother sold me to the eunuch in the palace! She wants to sell me for a good price and then exchange it for her own daughter's soaring! She wanted to borrow my name when I was changing my clothes and blocked my mouth.
If not, I had already taken precautions, carried this medicine powder with me, and was in a hurry, at this time, I had been tied up by the eunuch and thrown into his inner house in the capital! He is not human at all, do you know how many girls died in his hands? I will never return! β
