Chapter 40: Gas
"It's raining!"
Li Bingwu held a grease umbrella and accompanied Li Bingru to stand by the river with the willows hanging low, and the raindrops gradually splashed on the clear water.
"Sister, let's go back, the summer rain is still very cold, don't catch a cold!"
"It's been half a month, and if I don't walk around here, I'm going to die of depression!"
Li Bingru angrily pulled a wicker and shook violently, the water droplets on the willow tree fell immediately, and the grease umbrella knocked on "bang". Wet half of his sleeves.
"Damn Nangong Yifeng is still trapped in Qingxiang Pavilion, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere!"
"Since this is the case, my sister will quickly reconcile with the second young master, so that the second young master will no longer lock up my sister?"
"Okay? How to fit well? Li Bingru glared at Li Bingwu angrily, "He first wronged me for beating Sun Zixi, and then slandered me for killing Bu Sang, but he hasn't given me an explanation until now, let alone an explanation, why should I get along with him?" ”
What's even more hateful is that Nangong Yifeng actually beat her without asking, which is really unbearable for uncles and aunts.
"Sister~" Li Bingwu pursed her pink lips and elongated the end of the note, with some coquettishness and complaint, "Xiao Wu doesn't understand, it's obvious that my sister cares about the second young master very much, why do you still stubbornly get angry with the second young master?" ”
Li Bingru rolled her eyes speechlessly, do you care? Where did you see that she cared?
"The second young master finally came to Qingxiang Pavilion yesterday, but my sister choked with a cold face, the second young master was stunned, this son, another person looked at the rain and was stunned, I really don't know why?"
"Xiao Wu, don't you really understand?" Li Bingru felt a little hurt, "With Nangong Yifeng's wisdom, whether it is Zixi being beaten or Bu Sang being killed, he must already know very well what is going on." But he didn't explain or act, it can be seen that his heart is towards Sun Zixi after all. ”
"But, sister," Li Bingwu looked up at the distress and innocence of the day, "The second young master has already made it clear that he will not marry Miss Zixibiao!" ”
"Really?"
Li Bingru hooked the corners of her lips and turned around and walked towards the dilapidated house. Regarding Nangong Yifeng and Sun Zixi, she doesn't want to express any opinions now.
"For more than half a month, my sister will come to this back garden every day at dusk, from the willow tree to this dilapidated house, and then from the dilapidated house to the willow tree, back and forth, tirelessly, Xiao Wu is becoming more and more unable to understand her sister."
Li Bingwu held the umbrella and followed step by step, scratching his head to express his incomprehension of Li Bingru's behavior.
"But Helan also said that she should not disturb her sister at this time."
Li Bingru was startled, "What else did Helan say?" ”
"I didn't say anything, I just said that my sister likes to walk when she thinks about things, and she doesn't like to be disturbed." Li Bingwu tilted her head, puzzled, "What are you thinking about?" Ah, Xiao Wu knows, my sister must be thinking about the second young master! ”
"Begging for a beating, isn't it?"
Li Bingru glared at Li Bingwu, and swung it up with a punch, "Talk nonsense again, be careful that I point you out to your second young master!" ”
"My sister is reluctant!" Li Bingwu covered her mouth and chuckled.
Li Bingru wanted to refute, but finally laughed, and a joke about her little daughter was revealed.
"Xiao Wu, on the day of my wedding to Nangong Yifeng, do you know about the assassins entering the castle?"
"Yes!" Li Bingwu shook a broken branch, "It is said that I went to the master's study to steal something, and I was discovered by the eldest young master, and I am really bold......"
"Do you know who he is?" Li Bingru's hands were clenched, and there was some nervousness that she didn't even notice.
"Then who knows? But looking at the appearance of the eldest young master, it should be quite scary. Li Bingwu asked curiously, "How did my sister remember to ask the assassin?" ”
"It's okay, just ask." Li Bingru took one last look at the misty garden.
"Let's go back."
"Sister sleepy?" Li Bingwu carefully supported Li Bingru, "Sister falls asleep every day, and now it's just time?" ”
"Maybe it's a rainy day."
Li Bingru's daily habit is to walk from the rockery willow tree in the back garden to the broken house in the afternoon, and then from the broken house to the rockery willow tree, back and forth, until he is tired and goes back to Qingxiang Pavilion to sleep.
And she is always very easy to sleep, except for the occasional ethereal dream, she can always sleep until dawn, so that she always feels that she is getting more and more lazy in this kind of comfortable days, and occasionally wants to do something, but she can't lift any spirit.
In the hall of Qingxiang Pavilion, Nangong Yifeng sat quietly, like a frozen aesthetic portrait. Only his eyebrows frowned slightly, and there seemed to be an indelible melancholy in the coldness.
"Why are you here?"
Li Bingru was surprised when she saw Nangong Yifeng, she thought that after choking Nangong Yifeng away yesterday, he would not come again, at least for a few days.
Nangong Yifeng felt a slight pain in his heart.
"Xiangxue, can't you talk well?"
"I can't." Li Bingru turned around and sat on the chaise longue furthest away from Nangong Yifeng, with an indifferent expression.
"We have nothing to say until the matter of Bu Sang is revealed!"
The space was silent for a while, and the silent Li Bingru couldn't feel the existence of Nangong Yifeng in a trance, and glanced at it from time to time, not understanding how Nangong Yifeng, who had always had a cold and powerful aura, could his sense of existence be so low at this time?
For a long time, Li Bingru almost leaned on the golden silk soft pillow to dream of Zhou Gong, before he heard Nangong Yifeng's almost inaudible sigh.
"That's it, you have a good rest."
At the end, he spoke again: "Helan, Xiao Wu, take good care of the second young lady." ”
Li Bingru looked at the figure of Nangong Yifeng leaving in a daze, the figure immersed in the rain seemed to be a little vaguely sad, and she suddenly thought about the scene when she first saw Nangong Yifeng.
At that time, Nangong Yifeng was cold and resolute, full of courage, and seemed to be a cold-faced iceberg, but in fact, he was also enthusiastic about solving the siege for her.
"Good sister, what do you want?"
Li Bingwu's tone of voice revealed dissatisfaction and distress, "What kind of proud and conceited person is the second young master?" Even if he is at fault with Miss Biao and Bu Sang, he has already done his part, why do you want to be cold to him and suffer yourself? ”
"I don't know what I'm going to do." Li Bingru's voice was muffled, and the crisp bamboo flute turned and turned in his hand, "I'm at a loss now." ”
was even more dazed than when Shao Haihui left.
At that time, I was still thinking about finding a place to live, and I could also rely on Nangong Yifeng and wait for Shao Haihui to come back.
She asked Jianjian, but Shao Haihui never appeared in Lucheng again. Nangong Yifeng seems to be going farther and farther.
"Sister......
Li Bingwu wanted to say something, but Helan suddenly grabbed her arm, Li Bingwu looked at Helan suspiciously, Helan pursed her lips, shook her head, and signaled Li Bingwu not to say anything.
Li Bingru lay on the chaise longue and quickly fell asleep. Helan put a brocade quilt on Li Bingru's body, and got up to close the half-open mullions, immediately blocking a scene of melancholy rain.
"Do you know something?" Li Bingwu asked Helan in a low voice.
"I don't know anything."
Helan checked the house and made sure that her second young lady would not freeze, so she motioned for Li Bingwu to go out and talk.
"I don't know what's wrong with the second young lady." Helan leaned on the railing in front of the corridor and sat down, "But I can see that the second young lady has been getting more and more worried about it for more than half a month." ”
"Is it because of Bu San's matter?" Li Bingwu grabbed her long hair, thinking yes and no.
Helan only looked at the dripping rain curtain and was stunned, not knowing what she was thinking.
The summer rain came and went quickly, and when Li Bingru woke up, it was already a clear sky and the sun was shining.
Li Bingru rubbed her sore cervical spine, looking at the dazzling light refracted through the window, and always felt that she had slept too long.
Washing and eating, visiting the garden, Li Bingru seems to have become accustomed to the life of captivity.
Unconsciously, I walked to the rockery willow in the back garden. Li Bingru couldn't help but laugh at herself, the habit is really a bad habit that is difficult to change.
Just as he was about to leave, a tall purple figure walked in front of him.
"Sun Zixi?"
Li Bingru looked at the fairy-like beauty who fell from the sky in surprise. It's just that the beauty's eyes are red and swollen, as if she has been crying for a long time.
"How did you end up here?"
"Hasn't the second cousin's grounding order been lifted yet?" Sun Zixi walked towards Li Bingru with his body up. The smile on his lips couldn't tell whether it was mockery or pride.
"What does it have to do with you?"
Li Bingru glanced at her, walked straight over, and prepared to leave, she really had nothing to say about a person like Sun Zixi.
"Are you proud now?" Sun Zixi grabbed Li Bingru, staring at her red eyes and couldn't tell whether she was resentful or sad.
"Miss Cousin, what are you doing here?"
Li Bingwu watched as Sun Zixi grabbed Li Bingru, and immediately stepped forward to pull, "Sister is the second young lady of Tianlong Castle, if you hurt her, the second young master will not let you go!" ”
"Really?" Sun Zixi glanced at Li Bingwu, and the smile on her lips expanded, "Your slave sister is very protective of the master!" ”
Sun Zixi said and let go of his hand.
Li Bingwu hurriedly protected Li Bingru behind him.
Li Bingru frowned slightly, today's Sun Zixi is so strange.
"Don't get so excited. I just wanted to say a few words to my cousin alone. Sun Zixi gathered his sleeves and raised his chin slightly.
Li Bingru was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Sun Zixi said again: "About Bu Sang." ”
"Sister!" Li Bingwu helped Li Bingru worriedly, "She must have lied to you." ”
"Why, you don't dare?" Sun Zixi raised his eyebrows defiantly.
"It's fine." Li Bingru broke away from Li Bingwu, "You go and wait." ”
Li Bingwu couldn't resist, so he had to worry about his eyes and walk away step by step.
"You can say it." Li Bingru did not shy away from facing Sun Zixi.
"Bu Sang's thing was done by Donghui." Sun Zixi opened his mouth arrogantly.
"Sure enough!" Li Bingru felt a burst of pathos in her heart, and stared at Sun Zixi in disbelief, "It was Donghui who did it, that is, you instructed it." You said that Bu Sang has taken care of you since childhood, although the two of them are master and servant, they are like sisters, how can you do it? ”
"Do you think I want to?" Sun Zixi's eyes suddenly widened, hideous and terrifying, "I have liked Cousin Feng since I was a child, and I was full of joy waiting for Cousin Feng to come and marry me, but in the end, I waited for him to be given by the Holy Decree to marry Miss Liu Taiwei, do you know how much I hate in my heart?" ”
Two lines of tears welled up in his red eyes. Sun Zixi bit her red lip and took a deep breath, as if she was trying her best to hold back.
