Ling Chaofeng said, "Do you want to go to the roof and sit?" ”

"Rooftop?"

Ling Chaofeng turned his back, let Xiaowan lie on his back, told her to hook her neck, and then climbed out of the window.

Seeing half of his body hanging in the air, Xiaowan was so frightened that she couldn't do it, and said repeatedly: "Xianggong, I'm afraid." ”

But Ling Chaofeng went up to the roof lightly, and after standing firmly, he put Xiaowan down, and the two stepped on the tiles and walked towards the ridge, Xiaowan trembled, grabbed his hand tightly, and staggered step by step.

finally sat down on the ridge of the roof, and inadvertently looked up, and the lights of thousands of homes in the distance made her stunned. I didn't expect to be able to see Baisha Town so far away here.

"It's a pity that it's blocked by the mountain, I can't see Qingling Village, and naturally Qingling Village is farther away, even if there is no mountain blocking it, I can't really see it." Ling Chaofeng smiled, "If you want to see further, let's climb to the top of the mountain another day." ”

Xiaowan said: "I can't climb so high. ”

Ling Chaofeng said, "I'll carry you up." ”

Xiaowan shook her head and leaned up with his arm: "The Xiang Guild is tired, I can't bear it, and I don't want to see Qingling Village." ”

The spring breeze is slightly cool, but it is also pleasant, now it is not good to cherish, in the blink of an eye it is about to enter the scorching heat, Baisha Town has four distinct seasons, and it is the most peaceful and comfortable place.

They sat quietly for a while, and Xiaowan gradually opened her heart, talking about what happened during the day, saying that she saw Yue Huaiyin being beaten, but she didn't help, but Su Su rushed forward without thinking about it.

"I couldn't hold back and told Su Su the truth." Xiaowan smiled bitterly, "I neither rescued people, nor did I let others save her, Xianggong, how could I become so indifferent now." I once told my aunt that when I was beaten when I was a child, no one in the village helped me, not even a word, but one day, I became one of them. ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "What if Su Su was raped that day, and Daqing couldn't save her?" ”

Xiao Wan looked at him with bright eyes: "It turns out that you think so too?" ”

Ling Chaofeng bowed his head: "Her grievances with the Duchess of Dingguo have nothing to do with you, me and Su Su, she is not in Baisha Town, and she will be treated like this elsewhere." Since I knew yesterday that it was the Duchess of Dingguo who came, I knew what she was going to do, but I didn't make a move, didn't I, even to send a message to Yue Huaiyin. So, do you think I'm cold-blooded and ruthless? ”

Xiaowan shook her head: "I won't, but I don't know." ”

Ling Chaofeng said gently: "What's more, she treats Su Su so viciously, and even has no remorse, it is normal for you to hesitate, don't make your kindness so worthless." Besides, everyone has selfish intentions, you didn't rush up, but I feel at ease, in that case, what if I fight with you? Am I going to beat the Duchess of Dingguo again? ”

Xiaowan smiled, naturally she didn't laugh when she was happy, and said helplessly: "You always have a way to coax me, even if I poke a hole in the sky, you will make up for me, right?" ”

Ling Chaofeng said angrily: "Go and make up the sky first, and then I will clean you up when I go home." ”

Xiao Wancai was not afraid, so she simply lay in her husband's arms: "To put it bluntly, what does it have to do with me, I don't want to worry about myself." It's Su Su, it's much stronger than I thought, Xianggong, Su Su is angry, no matter what, I won't regret saving Su Su. ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "Su Su has experienced a lot, she has seen a lot of similar things, and after the fright passes, she can naturally think about things calmly." Now it seems that you are also right to tell her, otherwise she will meet Yue Huaiyin again and be pitiful, if she becomes a farmer and a snake, will she be able to save her next time Daqing? ”

Xiao Wan has also heard that fable, but in the village, everyone calls this kind of person a white-eyed wolf, and she is the white-eyed wolf in the eyes of her stepmother.

The movement of Yue Huaiyin when she was beaten, the whip of the feather duster whistling by, Xiaowan couldn't be more familiar, she knew how much Yue Huaiyin hurt, and knew that she was really miserable this time.

Once, Mo said that such a terrible situation was that a few scars on Su Su's body could make her so excited that she couldn't control her emotions, but today, she just watched it. How hateful is this?

Xiaowan said: "If you are seduced by her, what can I do?" The Duchess of Dingguo is of noble birth, even if she is beaten to death, she must not be afraid, and what can I do? No wonder I hate her, because if she succeeds, I'll be left alone to shed tears. ”

Ling Chaofeng gently pinched her chin, put her face squarely to herself, and said coldly: "I don't love you to be so cranky, say something inexplicable, just joke, and next time, see if I will be soft-hearted." ”

Xiaowan was pinched and had to mumble: "I'm just analyzing why I hate her so much, it's not cranky, not to mention that it's useless for you to murder me now, I'm not afraid of you for a long time." ”

Ling Chaofeng smiled: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

Xiaowan broke free and raised her chin: "I'm not afraid at all." ”

She was not punished, but was rewarded, sweet and warm kisses, every time it was the love of the father-in-law. The queen said that when Xianggong looked at himself, his eyes were like pearls and jade, but Xiaowan could only smirk when he saw himself in his eyes.

Their movement on the roof attracted Uncle Biao's Ershan's attention, Xu was afraid of being robbed, Xiaowan waved at them, Uncle Biao laughed, and went back with Ershan.

Ling Chaofeng said: "Ershan left at the beginning of July, if he stays in the capital smoothly, we can also see him when we go at the end of the year." ”

Xiaowan asked, "Do you really want to take me to the capital?" ”

Ling Chaofeng smiled: "Didn't I say that I would take you to see the fireworks in the palace in the capital, but if I tell the queen that you went, I might take you directly to the palace." ”

Xiaowan waved her hand again and again: "I don't want to go to the palace, I'm a little grass person, how can I go to heaven, I want to lose my life." ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "Then we will wrap ourselves in big clothes and look at it from the top of the highest building in the capital." ”

"Beijing, ah......" Xiaowan sighed softly, for that place, her heart was so complicated.

After sitting for a long time, they went downstairs, Xiaowan didn't eat dinner, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and the food just now was cold, so she went to the kitchen to get hot water to soak it.

Uncle Biao was willing to do it, so he simply took out a bowl of big casserole, boiled the cold rice into soup with broth, and then lay a yellow poached egg on it.

Xiaowan was eating, remembering that Yue Huaiyin went to Su Su's house and said that she wanted to come to the inn to taste Uncle Biao's craftsmanship, she sank her heart, silently clenched her fist and right hand, and said in her heart: "I hope her injury can heal soon." ”

That's all she can do.

The night passed, and the Siyun Pavilion, which used to open the door in the early morning with the fragrance every day, is closed today, and the surrounding shops have been opened, and the silence here is particularly conspicuous.

Passers-by walked by, all pointing and pointing, and some people even said that they felt early in the morning that such a beautiful woman must be strange to open a business in a foreign land alone, and it is really not a serious thing.

When the sun is a little higher, someone comes to knock on the door and wants to return all the rouge gouache they bought.

The noise in front disturbed the people living in the backyard, Dingguo Gong wanted to live here, even if the lady was disgusted, she had to get up, and only then did she get up and make up, and she heard the noise outside, and the lady's maidservant said: "It's some ordinary people, and they want to return the goods." ”

The lady smiled coldly and looked at her husband: "Xianggong, are you going to do the business for her?" ”

Dingguo Gong was silent, and ordered the maidservant to dress him.

"Go and see if she's dead, and if she's still alive, bring her here." The lady gave such an order, and put the maidservant girl away, dressed her husband with her own hands, and said with a smile, "Since she is not willing to go with us, it has nothing to do with us whether she lives or dies in the future." Xianggong, you have raised her for fifteen years, and you are also benevolent and righteous, and such a person staying by her side is a scourge after all. ”

Duke Dingguo has long been accustomed to his wife's strength, and has to admit that when Emperor Dingdi and the current emperor no longer need him to assassinate some people, he began to become dispensable among the nobles in the court. The title of Duke of Dingguo can only be passed on for three generations, and it is not impossible that it will be cut in his hands in less than three generations.

His wife is a relative of the late Concubine Shugui, and she is also a relative of Shen Wangfu, and the exchanges between the female relatives are quite cordial, no matter what, they are all dependent, in the past, he didn't care about his wife's jealousy, but now, he can't be stronger.

He cares about Huaiyin, after all, he raised the most thoughtful person by himself, but she is just a woman after all, and the overall situation is current, and his wife is not allowed to do so, and she can be abandoned at any time.

I thought that if I let her out, I would no longer remember whether she was alive or dead, and I didn't want to know that she was living here, peaceful and quiet, but I felt a little pity and worry.

It is rare for his wife to return to his hometown, so he took the trouble to come for a while, and sure enough, the beauty is still there, so that he moved his heart, and he never expected that the soul would be saved overnight, and the tigress would be killed.

Yesterday in the crowd, watching Yue Huaiyin being beaten to death, and being stripped naked and humiliated, he only had helplessness and irritability in his heart, so he simply walked away and didn't look at it.

And Yue Huaiyin is the person who knows him best, under the situation like yesterday, what Dingguo Gong was thinking, she knew clearly.

At this moment, the scarred man was dragged in tow, and she was weak, and the handmaidens kicked her, and then she fell to her knees and fell to the ground.

Madame raised her hand and asked the maids to stand down, and when the door was closed, she said: "Today I and Grandpa Guo are going back to the capital, I have something to tell you, I hope this is the last time I will see you, and the next time I will come to collect your body." ”

Death, is it terrible? Yue Huaiyin sneered.

Seeing her look like this, the lady disagreed: "You are laughing at me." ”

Yue Huaiyin's eyes were cold: "Madame is tethered to her own man, but his heart hated you fifteen years ago, what does it mean for such a person to stay by his side?" ”

Dingguo Gong said angrily: "Huaiyin, what nonsense are you talking about? ”

The people on the ground struggled to stand up, and she was covered in wounds, none of them intact, and every part was a piercing pain, and the pain was so painful that she almost went numb. She smiled sadly: "Jianzhang, this is what you told me personally." ”

"Shut up!" The man was furious.

"Do you think he has you in his heart?" Madam He sneered, "At this moment, he will only tell you to shut up, what are you proud of, you are not even qualified to laugh at fifty steps and a hundred steps." ”

Dingguo Gong glared at his wife angrily, but he clenched his fists, and he couldn't scold her in front of Yue Huaiyin.

Madame sighed, and finally said: "Since you don't want to go to the capital, then you are not allowed to leave here for half a step, here, you can live a very peaceful life until you are old." But if you leave here, you will be worse off than dead, don't think that I can't see you, don't you want to think, how did I find here? ”

She looked at her husband: "Xianggong, but what else do you have to tell her?" ”

Dingguo Gong turned his back coldly and did not speak.

The lady summoned the maidservants, ordered them to prepare for the road, and said, "By the way, did you give the silver for the Lingxiao Inn?" ”

The maidservant replied: "I gave the house money the day before, but I didn't count the money for dinner, and I didn't know if I would go back last night, anyway, I had to pass by, and the slave and maid would give it when the time came." Grandpa Guo, Madame, the carriage is ready and ready to hit the road. ”

Dingguo said: "You go out first, and I will come later." ”

Yue Huaiyin looked up at her man, leaving the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

The lady smiled and asked, "Do you want to see this woman, stripped naked and hung on the street?" ”

Dingguo Gong's eyes were scarlet, he gritted his teeth and endured it, took one last look at the people on the ground, and walked away.

"Jianzhang, Jianzhang......" Yue Huaiyin's voice was hoarse, but the people outside the door walked farther and farther.

She collapsed to the ground weakly, and I don't know how long it took, Xiaocui squatted in front of the door with trembling legs and asked, "Miss, Miss...... A lot of people come to return the goods, and they are about to smash the store. ”

"Go to my room and get the money, and give it back to them." Yue Huaiyin opened her eyes, as if she could still see the man in her heart, but a thought flashed, what did the woman say just now, did she ask herself, why did she find here?

The first person to tell her that Dingguo Gongwei was leaving Beijing, and it was Ling Chaofeng, and this woman came here and lived in Lingxiao Inn. Yesterday, Su Su pounced on her to save her, but Mu Xiaowan stood indifferently on the side of the road.

Her eyes were dark, like night, and when she closed her eyes, she used the pain on her body to tell herself that she was still alive.

On this side, when Xiao Wan was pouring water for passers-by, he saw a carriage coming slowly, followed by more than a dozen people, similar to the scene when he came from the dock that day.

Yesterday Xiaowan saw that familiar face in the crowd, that is, she saw the man sitting in the carriage at that time, and it turned out that the person was Dingguo Gong.

Putting aside these rights and wrongs, just looking at that face, no wonder Yue Huaiyin is obsessed with it, but who would have thought that under that face, there is no good heart.

Yesterday Xiaowan watched him with her own eyes, and withdrew from the crowd indifferently and disgusted, Xianggong clearly told her before that there was at least more than ten years of love between them, and for more than ten years, they couldn't even exchange a word.

They settled the money for the meal, because the carriage was also an inn, so they had to rent it to the dock, Uncle Biao followed, so that he could turn around and bring the carriage back, and Xiaowan asked Uncle Biao to bring a few buns and give them to Daqing at the dock.

But when Uncle Biao came back an hour later, he smiled and said, "Daqing has fragrant pancakes to eat at noon today, what are we worried about." ”

Xiaowan remembered that she didn't have time to eat the cake made by Aunt Chen yesterday, and she was happy.

After this turmoil passed, Xiaowan went to Baisha Village to visit Su Su in addition to the work in the store every day. Xiaowan naturally won't force her, and when she is busy every day, she will come to her house to sit.

The people in the village, gradually and Mrs. Chen, some things in the town, it is easy to spread to the family, Xiaowan is under the eaves to listen to the gossip of the ladies to know, many people go to Siyun Pavilion to make trouble to return the goods, but the next day the yamen came forward, now the shop is still open, there is no business, and no one has seen the fairy-like boss Yue for several days.

They sat on the side of their shoes, looked at each other, and Su Su said, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Xiaowan nodded: "I know." ”

At this time, Ling Chaofeng came on horseback, and the ladies and aunts in the village all loved to see him, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ling, come to pick up the lady so early today." ”

Xiaowan also greeted him and said, "Why is it so early." ”

Ling Chaofeng dismounted and whispered in her ear: "There is good news, I am in a hurry to tell you, do you want to listen?" ”
