175 The heart is like ashes
Bi Tong was angry, and she took a step forward to reason with her, but was stopped by Cheng Xueyan.
Du Yingzi thought that she had said something in her heart, and became more and more arrogant: "It is said that Gu Sangongzi is seriously injured, but he doesn't want to be alive and well, it seems that it is nothing, but some people want to take the opportunity to turn over, this little farewell is better than the newlywed?" It's just that I don't know when I'm going to see you again today, it's really embarrassing enough, but if it's a stomach......"
Speaking of this, I didn't know what I thought, so I covered my mouth and laughed for a long time.
Cheng Xueyan didn't say anything, only smiled at Du Yingzi from beginning to end.
The smile was clean and soft, without a trace of evil thoughts, which made Du Yingzi's heart bottomless.
She laughed dryly twice, and when she saw that Cheng Xueyan didn't make a mistake, she didn't feel annoyed: "Bitong, take your master back quickly, save yourself from making another crazy ......"
Cheng Xueyan was still smiling, saluted her dignifiedly, and Shi Shiran left.
Du Yingzi was even more suspicious, and stared at the back for a long time. In the end, she finally decided that she was just renewing the relationship with Gu Sanxian in the Gu Mansion, and thought that she could continue to be someone's third grandmother, but could things be as easy as she thought?
Immature!
She spat at the figure that was blurred in the twilight, and proudly helped Zhen'er away.
"Girl, why did you stop me just now? We should tell her what we saw, and see how proud she is? Bi Tong was indignant.
"This kind of thing...... It's best to let her discover for herself. Cheng Xueyan's tone was slow and methodical, without a trace of anger.
"I don't understand, in the past, Mr. Du embarrassed the girl, and the girl could give her back no matter how difficult it was, but now there is the most favorable opportunity to hit her, how can the girl be humble?"
"Didn't you understand what I just said?" Cheng Xueyan stopped: "Think about it, even if you tell the truth, in that case, will she believe it?" Even if you didn't meet just now, just talking about it on weekdays, based on what you know about her, do you think she will believe it? Qitong's affair...... You must have forgotten, right? ”
Bitong was silent for a long time: "But...... If you are as arrogant as she is, you have to hit it......"
"We don't need to do anything." Cheng Xueyan smiled slightly: "Do you want to be watched by others or do you want to watch others act?" This kind of thing, the longer it is pressed, the more lively it will be, let's just wait and see the excitement......"
When Cheng Xueyan said this, although she was smiling, her heart was cold. She found herself becoming more and more wicked, how could she base her happiness on the pain of others? But she really looked forward to it, hoping that the day when the truth would come soon, and now as long as she imagined Du Yingzi's shock and anger, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl again and again. What kind of joy is more joyful and powerful than appreciating the sorrow and anger of a man who is always self-righteous and always takes pleasure in trampling on others, but who is deceived and trampled on?
I'm so wicked! She couldn't help but sigh and repent again, but it all seemed destined for her to continue to be evil.
Bi Tong couldn't fully understand the master's explanation, her mind turned a few times, and suddenly turned to the previous question: "How can they be together?" Miss Qin...... How so? Mr. Fu...... Aren't they really good people? ”
The shoulder was suddenly slapped hard, and then the girl's eyes were met, and the girl looked at her appreciatively, and said seriously: "Bitong, you have finally grown up!" ”
Bitong looked at the girl walking in front of her in confusion, but she was still entangled in this impossibility in her heart.
The girl didn't go back to Yanran Pavilion, but went straight to the back kitchen.
She was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the girl's intentions, and couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart, no matter what happened, the girl's heart was always towards them.
As soon as Cheng Xueyan stepped into the outer door of the back kitchen, Mama Tang flew over like a duck, quacking.
"Big girl, it's been a long time, okay? I made the girl's favorite braised duck gizzard yesterday...... I knew that I would be very busy, so I made preparations in advance, and sent it to the girl in the evening, but the girl was not there......"
Hearing this, Bi Tong hurriedly gave her a look.
Mama Tang is a clever person, and immediately changed the topic: "The girl is here to see Sister Qitong this time?" ”
Qitong is the person who is punished, and she is the most statusless type of person in Cheng's mansion, since Mama Tang is willing to call her "sister", she is looking at Cheng Xueyan's face, of course, in order to show that she has no intention of criticizing Qitong.
Mama Tang led them to a small dark room.
"These days, she is always listless, I said to ask the doctor to come, but she said no. Her body and bones were not tossed, so although there was a shortage of manpower these days, they did not call her, so let her lie in it. But it's not okay to just lie down and not eat. Now that the big girl is here, I try to persuade her. This thing can't be eaten, people have to live, right? ”
Mama Tang's words were very true, and Cheng Xueyan couldn't help but feel that she also had a little sincerity towards Qitong.
The house was very small, because the rough kitchen made the servants live in such a pigeon cage, only the housekeeper's room was slightly brighter, and she could bring her daughter and son under ten years old to live in it. It stands to reason that Qitong's treatment is also superior, and other rough girls are squeezed into a room with two or three people, but she lives alone.
The room was quiet and dark, as if no one was there.
Mama Tang lit an oil lamp on the table and whispered, "Don't you hurry up?" The big girl is coming......"
There was a rustling sound in the corner where the faint light barely touched, and then someone hurriedly got off the ground, but fell again, and knocked over something.
Mama Tang rushed over to help the fallen man first, but shouted to this side: "The big girl knocked her leg carefully......"
In the dim light, Qitong leaned against the side of the bed with a yellow face, but smiled at them hard: "I just got up a little harder...... Mama Tang is very good to me, and she has taken care of me these days......"
Mama Tang's old face was hot: "Big girl, you talk first, the slave is out." However, it is a little cold in this room, and the big girl should be careful about her body. ”
The door creaked shut.
Cheng Xueyan looked at Qitong, but saw her smile and said: "The bed is narrow and dirty, and the stool is also dusty, so I won't invite the eldest girl to sit." ”
Cheng Xueyan was just worried about Cheng Cangyi's wedding, afraid that she would have something to think about, so she was in a hurry to take a look, but she didn't know what to say. If you talk about comfort, it is the last thing you need at this moment. Everyone understands the truth, and they can't make it hurtful to repeat it over and over again.
"What the girl is worried about, the slave understands." Qitong really understands: "I'm fine, otherwise I wouldn't have survived until now, but I don't feel very comfortable......
She is also telling the truth, her sweetheart is going to marry another woman, not only is she powerless, but she also has to cook and cook for those who have blessed this marriage, thinking of him and her leading the red silk into the wedding room in the sound of blessings, thinking of him and her ears and temples...... No one can endure such torture. She can also bless them, but it would be cruel to put her heart in this blessed fire and slowly fry it.
"I'll be fine in a few days, big girl don't have to worry." Her expression was tranquil, and there was an ethereal beauty in the swaying lights of the bean-sized light.
Cheng Xueyan still touched her forehead uneasily...... Not hot, he shook her hand again...... Cool.
She smiled again: "There is no brazier in the house, so it is naturally cold." ”
Cheng Xueyan asked Bitong to ask someone to find a brazier to light it.
"Don't be busy, I didn't want them to order it." Qitong said lightly.
"Do you want to freeze yourself to death? How do you ...... No one will ever know. ”
Cheng Xueyan had to say this cruel sentence, because she really didn't want to see Qitong slowly abuse herself to death. Moreover, this is also a fact, for the sake of Qitong's safety, Cheng Cangyi must no longer contact her, and who else will report Qitong's situation to Cheng Cangyi? Wouldn't that be self-defeating? For Cheng Fu, Qitong is already a dead person, and even sometimes she thinks that maybe it is the right choice for everyone to forget about her.
"yes, nobody knows, I know." Qitong was still smiling: "I just want to stay quietly alone, just look at this darkness, as if this night will never pass......"
Cheng Xueyan somewhat understood her thoughts, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, silly girl, do you think you can avoid everything that happens outside by hiding in your own world? At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded from time to time, the non-stop noise of the back kitchen, and the lights that gradually dimmed...... What point is not declaring that time will never stop for the sake of a person? What point is not announcing the happy events of the Cheng Mansion? You can hide from the reminders of the outside world, but you can't hide from your own heart like a mirror.
But Qitong stubbornly looked at the rough wall opposite, and his eyes seemed to fall on a very distant place: "Don't worry, I'll rest for a while......"
When she said this, it was worrying, as if she would do something extraordinary as soon as she turned around.
Cheng Xueyan couldn't help but regret her appearance, but poured salt on her wounds.
But she still remembered the purpose of this visit: "Qitong, if there is a chance, are you willing to go out of the house with me?" ”
Bitong's eyes widened immediately...... Does the girl still want to bring Qitong?
Qitong's gaze turned to her blankly, and her smile was shallow but misty.
"Living with me and Bitong......" Cheng Xueyan had to continue.
"I'm already a rough girl, how can I serve her closely? Girl, don't bother with me......"
It seems that she still didn't understand.
Cheng Xueyan was about to explain clearly, but Bitong quietly tugged at her sleeve, so she had to take it away, say a few words, and turn to leave.
"Help me turn off the lights......"
There was a sigh behind him.
A wisp of green smoke trembled, and soon disappeared into the darkness, and the door creaked, only to isolate the gloom from loneliness.
