Today is the longest day for Jinyu, except for the people on duty in Dali Temple, after everyone left, Jinyu still lingered outside the gate of Dali Temple. Although the New Year has passed, it is still cold at night, and it is raining at this time, and the streets and alleys are shrouded in a gray haze. Even the light from the red paper lamp makes people feel hairy, without a little temperature.

Jin Yu had been wandering under the lamp for a long time, her cheeks had been frozen in the cold wind, and her exhaled breath was a string of white mist. He knew that Qianqian didn't tell Zhuo Yinfeng about it, but he still didn't want to go back to Nangong Hou, and he didn't know what he was afraid of or contradictory. I just feel that my heart is like a lamp under the corridor, and I have no backbone to be shaken by the lamp all the time, and my heart that has been shaking is a mess.

A light on the long street in the distance was from far and near, and Jin Yu looked at it and saw clearly through the light that the person who came was actually a maid of Nangong Hou, wearing an ivory-colored cloak, and the young face under the oil-paper umbrella was calm and calm, but there was still an indigo blue cloak and an oil-paper umbrella in his hand.

Jinyu couldn't name her, but she knew that she was a little girl who served Qianqian to freshen up on weekdays.

"Qiao'er has seen my uncle!"

"Why are you here?" Jinyu cleaned up the troubles in her heart and asked.

"Miss asked me to come!" Qiao'er saluted obediently as her name and said calmly: "It's already dark, but my uncle hasn't come back yet, the road is slippery, and my uncle is a little cold today, so Miss specially ordered me to send a cloak to my uncle." With that, he handed over the cloak.

Jin Yu didn't hesitate for a moment, took the cloak and draped it on her body and said, "I'm not afraid of accidents when I call you a girl out on this big night, why don't you call a family member over." ”

"Miss also knows that my uncle will ask that!" Qiao'er smiled softly, "The family is not the young lady's personal service, I can't believe it!" And Qiao'er can talk! ”

Jin Yu was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes were cold: "Then why not Ruexiang?" ”

"I don't know why Sister Rue Xiang got up early in the morning to make the young lady unhappy, and was punished to go to the garden to prune plum blossoms, and today is a slave to accompany the young lady!"

"I see!" Jin Yu groaned in a low voice, if she sent Rue Xiang, she was afraid that she would suspect that Zhuo Yinfeng sent her, and her heart was as careful as her, remembering her words last night, Jin Yu's heart ached faintly.

Looking up at the heavy night, a drizzle fell into his eyes, and the hot tears slowly oozed out, Jinyu took a hard breath, took the sadness in his eyes, took the oil-paper umbrella in Qiao'er's hand, and said in a low voice: "Go back!" He walked in front with an umbrella.

Along the way, Jin Yu was guessing what the first sentence should be said if they met, and before they could think about it, the door of Nangong Hou was already close in front of him, and a slender figure under the weeping flower gate was looking through it.

Overnight, Qianqian lost weight, her eyes were covered with a layer of dark blue, and even a pair of clear and bright eyes on weekdays lost their brightness. And the bun is also a loose hanging bun on the head, and a plain silver hairpin is traversal, and there is not much modification.

The four eyes were opposite each other, but there was no half hatred, only a flash of sadness in the eyes sank to the bottom of the deep eyes.

It's better to come back than not to come back!

"Coming back?" Qianqian greeted her with a gentle smile, after all, there were still outsiders present, Jinyu smiled and reached out to catch Qianqian's hand and responded gently: "Hmm!" ”

This word alone is enough, Qianqian's eyes were slightly red, and she turned her head to hide her sadness and said: "Father's body is also a little uncomfortable and has fallen asleep, and you are also suffering from the cold, I am worried and let Qiao'er go over to take a look!" ”

"It's cold outside! Let's go inside and talk! Jin Yu looked at Qianqian's beautiful but somewhat haggard face, the most tender place in her heart was touched, raised her hand to help Qianqian gather the cloak, put the hood on her and said: "The family is sick, if you are sick, it will not be good!"

Qianqian didn't turn her head, but when she nodded, Jinyu clearly saw tears slipping down.

It was already raining again at night, and even the people in the Hou Mansion seemed to be asleep in advance, and the Hou Mansion was quiet. Qianqian led Jinyu all the way back to the room, but in a day's time, the side room in front of her seemed a little unfamiliar.

The brazier was still burning, but the warmth in the room was an indescribable embarrassment, so Qianqian took the ribbon of the cloak and hung it on the screen. Standing under the door of the carved moon cave for a long time without speaking, Jin Yu stood a few steps away from her, looking down at the scarlet goose down carpet on the ground, and the silence made the two seem to be separated by thousands of mountains.

"I thought you weren't coming back!" It took a long time for Qianqian's weak voice to break the silence.

"It's because I thought I wouldn't be back!"

"You still want to come back, don't you?"

Jin Yu was silent, ruthless, facing Qianqian, he didn't want to lie, he wanted to give too much and couldn't realize it, maybe that was the most cruel.

"You should know that even if I came back, it wasn't for you!" The words were like knives, and the body of the pierced Qianqian trembled.

"I know!"

"Why didn't you tell your father!"

Qianqian turned around, her eyes were shining, and her face was full of sadness: "Let me go and tell my father that you are who he was back then, and then watch him paste your portrait all over the city, and the whole city will search for you, I can't do it!" ”

"You should understand what I'll do to your dad if I come back? Are you going to watch me kill your father? Jin Yu's thick eyebrows were twisted together, he didn't dare to look at Qianqian, and if he looked at it more, he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted for a while and put all his efforts into waste.

Qianqian was silent, only the sound of dripping water in the room was dropping one by one, like an ice spring, like the boredom in the hearts of the two of them.

After a long time, Qianqian finally turned around and asked weakly, "Is there no other way?" What you want is to clear the blood and shame of your family, and if my father is willing to confess, you can spare his life. ”

"Not bad! As long as he is willing to retract his confession, I will consider saving his life, but have you ever thought about how it is possible for your father to retract his confession himself? He was the first to sue back then, and all his honor and status now are based on the unjust case back then, what reason do you think anyone can persuade him to retract his confession? ”

Jinyu's cruel words shattered Qianqian's last glimmer of hope, and Qianqian sat down on the stool weakly.

"What if I beg him? Am I his daughter, or am I forced to die? ”

Qianqian's face was haggard, like a pear blossom being destroyed by a rainstorm, such a sentence was undoubtedly the last way she could think of.

But Qianqian, Qianqian, you don't know your father too well. Once your father's beauties are raised outside, they will inevitably be taken back to the mansion once they give birth to their sons, and when the time comes, the noble status of your concubine will not be able to be preserved, and the little love that your father has left on you will slowly fade, and there is no difference from an orphan girl.

But Jin Yu just thought so, looking at Qianqian's appearance, he still couldn't bear to say such cruel words.
