Chapter 99: Departure
In the thirteenth year of the Southern Dynasty, the beginning of winter.
In just one night, the temperature dropped a lot, and it was a winter when the water froze and the earth began to freeze.
Tianjin changed his winter coat early, warmed his hands with hot air in his mouth, and stomped a few times under his feet. Since she received winter clothes, she has successively received charcoal, blankets, bedding and the like to protect her from the cold.
The two maids who had served her before were also replaced by two new faces, and a kind mother-in-law came with her, who seemed to have come to look at the courtyard for her. The dilapidated windows had also been renovated, and the house where she lived was warmed by charcoals.
I didn't feel cold when I stayed in the house, but as soon as I got out of the house, the cold suddenly hit my face. It's just that the warmth in the house can't keep Tianjin.
After winter, the north wind does not stop, and the wind continues unabated, which is no longer suitable for paper kites.
Tianjin was anxious.
The newly sent maid and mother-in-law were not like the previous two slacking off, and they had been staying in the house. As soon as she came out, the mother-in-law glanced at the two maids, and they followed out, as if the master was leading a servant.
That's not what she was hoping for.
If the delivery of winter clothes was just a coincidence, then this seemingly servant of the protector made her suspicious. Did Uncle Niu who met by the lake yesterday leak out his thoughts about wanting to escape?
But he clearly promised that she wouldn't say it...... But what is it now?
Thinking of this, she stomped her feet irritably, and couldn't help but walk towards the outside of the courtyard. The two maids behind him also followed, carefully following aside.
"Don't follow me." Tianjin dropped a sentence in displeasure and quickened his pace.
The two maids were slightly stunned for a moment, and they glanced at each other in unison, but they didn't listen to her, but they still followed.
Wherever Tianjin went, they followed. As if he didn't see her repulsive face, he just quietly lagged behind a little, didn't follow closely, but also guarded her in sight.
Tianjin was very disappointed and annoyed, she was still too gullible to trust people.
Before she knew it, she was on the edge of the lake again. The surface of the lake, which was rippling yesterday, has formed a layer of crystal clear thin ice today.
The lake is frozen, the birds in the sky are gone, and only the cold wind is blowing non-stop. She was wrapped in a brand new winter coat, and she didn't feel cold on her body, but her bare cheeks were pierced by the cold wind like a knife.
At this moment, a straight back faintly appeared in the distance.
Tianjin's eyes narrowed slightly, and a wave of anger suddenly welled up in his heart. She rubbed her face stiffened by the cold wind, gritted her teeth and strode in that direction.
It's cold and windy, so it's not suitable for staying outside for a long time.
But Xie Shi still came out.
Yesterday, he left with a cold face, and asked people to thoroughly investigate the background of Tianjin. When it comes to Sima Daozi, even if he is willing to believe her words, he has to be cautious.
As the afternoon passed, the news was handed to him.
Knowing that she was originally a Fengyue woman who had been brought into the Langlin Mansion to live for a while, for a moment, he suspected that she had lied to him.
It is rumored that Sima Daozi is devoted to being a lover and marries a little princess, and the backyard is even cleaner. Even Emperor Jin sometimes made fun of him, and once wanted to give him a beauty, but he politely refused.
Such a Sima Daozi would not take in a Fengyue woman for no reason, let alone stuff this woman to him for no reason.
Do not do to others what you want! He didn't believe that Sima Daozi was unintentional.
Xie Shi's face was calm, and he was vigilant. Walking out of the yard and being blown by the cold wind, the people were also a lot more sober, and they immediately changed the maid next to Tianjin.
He knew that he had broken his promise, but he didn't feel any guilt in his heart.
Until...... Tianjin's face appeared in his field of vision with an angry face.
Tianjin rushed in front of him, walking too quickly, making her gasp slightly, and the hot breath she exhaled condensed into a cloud of white mist.
She glared at Xie Shi indignantly, "You have gone back on your word!" ”
Her eyes were red because of her anger. It looks like he's been greatly wronged, and it's pitiful.
The two maids who followed behind her stopped when they saw Xie Shi and watched from afar.
Xie Shi saw that they didn't come with him, so he didn't have to worry about their identities being exposed, so he had no scruples. He looked at Tianjin quietly, and felt that her pretentious posture was a little funny.
"Tell me, how did I go back on my word?"
Seeing that he didn't admit it, Tianjin became even more angry, pointed to the two maids in the distance, and said angrily: "What do you say that's that!" ”
Although she was angry, her eyes were still as clear as yesterday, with a little panic of being betrayed, and more open.
Xie Shi was not uncomfortable by her accusations, and there was an imperceptible hint of fierceness in his calm gaze.
After pondering for a moment, he decided to give her another chance, "You may guarantee that what you said yesterday is not half false?" ”
Being questioned by him like this is more disappointing to Tianjin than being betrayed by him.
The anger in his heart seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold. She slowly lowered her hand and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, you are Xie Shi's old friend, how can you believe my one-sided words." You can't tell how you laugh at me for not being able to do it, I treat you sincerely, but you ...... Forget it, let's just say it's all false. ”
Her bright eyes dimmed in an instant, and Xie Shi's brows furrowed. For some reason, the doubt in my heart faded.
Seeing her turn to leave, he squeezed her shoulder.
"Do you know that the Xie clan and the Lang Evil King have always been at odds?"
Tianjin was disappointed in him, where was he in the mood to deal with him. Feeling his hand pressed down, she subconsciously slapped it away, and said unhappily: "So what, what's the matter with me?" ”
This matter is none of his business, and his undisguised impatience instantly dispelled the doubts in Xie Shi's heart.
is also, but she is a powerless woman, and he is blind.
Tianjin's reaction was half a beat slower, and he was heard chuckling. Glancing at him inexplicably, a spiritual excitement in his heart suddenly dawned on him.
"You don't think that I have no tricks, it's a fine work sent by Sima Daozi, right?"
Xie Shi: "Are you?" ”
"Of course not!" Tianjin suddenly felt an indescribable depression in his heart, "He forcibly gave me away, without regard for my wishes, even if I really serve him as the master, I will rebel." ”
"There's some truth to that."
Tianjin: "That's why you betrayed me?" ”
Xie Shi smiled, "It's ......not enough to be betrayed," he just sent someone to keep an eye on her.
Tianjin suddenly didn't know whether to cry or laugh, she inexplicably had a good impression of this person, and inexplicably believed him. At the end of the day, this person was defensive of her from beginning to end.
This feeling...... It's aggrieved.
"Huh...... Just when I couldn't see people clearly, I was blind. ”
Dropping this, she turned around and left.
She was really angry, and she looked like a fried cat. Xie Shi thought it was interesting, so he followed.
His steps were steady and unhurried.
The footsteps were neither light nor heavy, and when they reached Tianjin's ears, they knew that he was following them.
She really didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.
But being entangled like this, anger comes up. Turning his head suddenly, he raised his eyebrows angrily, and scolded unceremoniously: "What do you do with me, I don't want to see you again!" ”
He laughed softly, "Do you still want to leave?" ”
