Chapter 48
An Ruiqi followed An Ruixiang to Ning Xue's door, only to see that the door was closed, and Fang Tao, Yu Mei and other personal maids all bowed their heads worriedly, standing outside the door, waiting for the summons.
As soon as Fang Tao saw that it was the two brothers of the An family, she hurriedly greeted her, bowed, and said, "Please say hello to the two Young Master An!" Please wait a minute, I'll pass it on to the two of you! ”
"Fang Tao...... Could it be that the second lady is visiting Ning Xue? If that's the case, then we won't bother......"
An Ruiqi was about to take a step away, but his arm was firmly grasped by An Ruixiang, and he could vaguely feel that he was glaring at him angrily.
Fang Tao hurriedly explained: "The second lady is not in the room at this moment, just because the second lady can't rest assured that the second lady is no less than the second lady, so she left me here to serve." After saying that, she hurriedly ran into the room to inform Ning Xue of the arrival of the two. After a while, Fang Tao ran out quickly again, and said happily: "Second Young Master, please come in, Second Miss is invited!" ”
An Ruiqi looked at An Ruixiang beside him uneasily, but saw that he looked disappointed. In order not to embarrass An Ruiqi, An Ruixiang reluctantly squeezed out a smile, patted him on the shoulder, signaled that he didn't have to mind, but it didn't hurt to go, and then turned around and stood lonely and still.
An Ruiqi sighed, and walked into Ning Xue's room with Fang Tao. Ning Xue's new residence is under the careful arrangement of the second lady, compared with the previous room, there is not much difference, but now her room is made of impermeable silk as a curtain, and the daylight is strictly blocked from the window, and the room is only lit by a few candles, which looks very dark, fortunately, it is late autumn, but it is not so hot. But such a boudoir is extremely incompatible with Ning Xue's lively and cheerful temperament. An Ruiqi couldn't help frowning as he walked and looked at the layout in the room.
"Second Miss, Second Young Master has arrived." Fang Tao lifted the curtain in front of them, and Ning Xue, who was half-lying on the bed, appeared in front of An Ruiqi.
At this time, Ning Xue was holding a small sandalwood comb in her hand, which should have been used to comb her hair in a hurry when she heard that An Ruiqi was coming. Even though the green silk scattered on the shoulders was as smooth as ever, it was as dull as this room. I saw that Ning Xue's goose egg face had lost a lot of weight, her face was as pale as paper, there were two black halos floating under her big eyes, and there was only a trace of blood left on her cherry mouth, which looked very pitiful. When she saw An Ruiqi in front of her, her distracted eyes suddenly flashed with light, and two lines of tears slowly flowed down.
"Brother Qi, you finally came to see me!" Ning Xue cried heartbreakingly, and then stretched out a hand to An Ruiqi, hoping that he could get closer.
An Ruiqi looked at the delicate soft wattle and felt compassion in his heart, so he took a few steps closer to her and stretched out a hand to gently hold it. Unexpectedly, Ning Xue struggled to get up, and then fell into his arms, holding the corners of his clothes tightly, burying her head in his chest and crying in a low voice. An Ruiqi felt a sharp pain coming, afraid that the knife wound on his chest was torn apart due to the weight. But seeing Ning Xue crying so desolately, knowing that she must have been living a life like pins and needles in the past few months, An Ruiqi endured the pain, stroked her head, comforted her silently, and let her wantonly relieve the worries in her heart.
After a long time, Ning Xue was tired from crying, so she turned to snuggle up to An Ruiqi's chest and sobbed, but the hand that grabbed the corner of his clothes still refused to let go, only in this way did she be sure that this was not Nan Ke's dream.
"Look, my clothes are wet with your tears, may I tidy them up?" An Ruiqi smiled bitterly, pushed Ning Xue away under the pretext, and then took the handkerchief handed by Fang Tao and wiped it casually.
"Go down first, and let no one come in without my command." Ning Xue was very unhappy when she saw that Fang Tao was still standing aside, but she was already angry now, where did she still have the strength to criticize her, so after Ning Xue glared at her, she let her leave.
"Ning Xue, why do you want to cover the room so darkly, this is harmful to you." An Ruiqi saw that Ning Xue's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and asked with concern.
"Brother Qi...... Don't you know...... Just because ...... It's just because Xue'er is afraid ......" Ning Xue felt aggrieved when she heard it, so she began to cry in a low voice again.
"Although you are arrogant on weekdays, you are definitely not a troublemaker, and besides, even if you accidentally have a grudge with someone, Uncle Ning will treat you with you, so why be afraid?" An Ruiqi looked at the second miss of the Ning family, who had always been satisfied with everything, and was puzzled.
"If it's people who want to harm me, I'm naturally not afraid, but ...... Brother Qi...... I'm afraid of...... It's Duan Ming, the unjust ghost! After Ning Xue finished speaking, she was so frightened that she immediately threw herself into An Ruiqi's arms, buried her face deep in his chest, and didn't dare to move for a long time.
"Duan Ming! Ning Xue, what do you know about this murder, tell me in detail! An Ruiqi heard that there seemed to be a clue, and urged anxiously.
“…… I...... I don't know anything...... It's just that...... It's just that I went to Xiaoyue's room with my mother that day to watch the excitement...... I...... I saw him...... He fell to the ground...... His face was covered in blood...... It's scary...... Woo woo......" Ning Xue said intermittently: "Originally...... I didn't think much of it...... It's just that...... Afterward...... I don't know when it started...... He broke into my dreams...... Blood-sladen ...... Reach out and grab me...... I ran desperately...... But he kept appearing in my dreams...... Brother Qi...... I'm so scared...... I have no grievances with him...... Why did he come to me...... Xiao Yue...... Xiao Yue is the murderer...... He...... He should find her to fight for his life! After saying that, Ning Xue cried even more pitifully, why should she suffer so much for the sin that Ning Yue had committed!
An Ruiqi couldn't help but be furious when she heard that she not only blamed Ning Yue for the nightmare, but also looked forward to her blood sister paying for Duan Ming's life before the case was cleared up in order to get rid of the troubles of the nightmare. He forcibly suppressed his anger, gently pushed Ning Xue away, and said coldly: "If you haven't done anything wrong, why do you need to be afraid of people who died unjustly, your dream is just a day to think about." After finishing speaking, An Ruiqi flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, but he was hugged tightly by Ning Xue with all his strength. Ning Xue has suffered a lot for months, and now that she finally saw An Ruiqi, how could she let him go easily.
"Brother Qi, I used to be bad for me, I always thought that you would always wait for me and guard me, so I was so fearless, hesitating between you and Brother Xiang, and breaking your heart again and again...... It wasn't until that moment when my father told me that he wanted me to marry that Duan Ming, that I realized that my heart had already been promised to you, and only by your side could my heart be calm. Since Duan Ming's death, I have made a vow that I will not marry in this life! I refuse to meet Brother Xiang, I just want you to come in and see me alone, do you understand my sincerity? Don't walk away from me again, okay? Ning Xue looked at An Ruiqi with a pair of big eyes and affection, the tears on her face had not disappeared, and she looked very moving.
It's just that he is as wise as An Ruiqi, how could he not know that he is just a life-saving straw that Ning Xue grabbed casually when he panicked, and in his heart, he could no longer tolerate a woman other than Ning Yue, so even if the person in front of him was stunning, he was calm and unmoved. "Ning Xue, your fate has always been tied to your eldest brother, I hope you cherish the person who cherishes you, don't think about it."
As soon as An Ruiqi's words fell, Ning Xue let go of her hands, looked at him steadily, and after a while, said softly: "Now my heart is in turmoil, Brother Qi, you doubt my sincerity, and think that my heartfelt words are not enough to believe, and it is inevitable...... Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people for a long time, and one day, you will know that what I said today is true. With that, she fell on the bed and began to cry in a low voice.
An Ruiqi knew that it was useless to talk too much at this time, so he sighed and left gently.
An Ruixiang, who was outside the door, saw An Ruiqi come out, and looked forward with anticipation, but when he saw An Ruiqi shaking his head, he knew that Ning Xue still didn't want to see him, and he couldn't help but feel lost.
