Chapter 121: Things Are Wrong
The rain continued during the day into the night. There was no moonlight, only the lantern-lit place where the rain could be seen slanting.
After the lantern was blown out, only the sound of the lantern sounded in my ears.
Su Jinyin stood outside the Mingyue Nunnery and took out the bamboo whistle from his arms. Although she sent Zhuyue over to warn her yesterday, Su Jinyin was not sure whether the other party had stopped or not. So, even if she didn't sleep tonight, she still came here.
However, the whistle sounded briefly, and the door in front of him opened.
Su Jinyin just wanted to go in, but the person who opened the door lowered his head and walked out.
"Sister Su, shall we take a step to talk?" The person who came out raised his head, revealing a pair of Danfeng eyes that were exactly the same as Zhou Xinrui.
"Miss Zhou hasn't slept late at night, has she been waiting for me?" Su Jinyin already knew that it was the Wednesday girl in front of her who instructed people to do those shameless things to Zhou Xinrui, so her tone was not very good. There is even a hint of obvious irony in these words.
With Zhou Mengru's style of acting, she shouldn't be able to stand such cold words. But today's Zhou Mengru seems to have changed a person. She shed the spikes around her and became as soft-spoken as her own sister.
"I've been waiting for Sister Su since last night. Luckily, you came the next night. After Zhou Mengru finished speaking, she took a few steps forward.
After a few steps away from Su Jinyin, Zhou Mengru lost the oil-paper umbrella in her hand. She stood like this in the rain, and then blew the fire in her hand. She held the fire fold in one hand, and took out a white candle from her waist with the other. After lighting the white candle with a fire fold, Zhou Mengru put the white candle horizontally and held it. The light of the fire was in this drizzle, sometimes big and sometimes small.
Su Jinyin stood outside the door of Mingyue Nunnery, and quietly watched Zhou Mengru finish a series of actions. She and Zhou Mengru's sister-in-law Zhou Xinrui are handkerchiefs, and the two have known each other since they were children. So this Wednesday girl, she also had a good relationship.
A few years ago, when Cardamom was young, the three of them also held hands to enjoy the lanterns and watched each other's concerted music. But after that, Zhou Mengru's temperament became more and more domineering, and she didn't have half respect for her sister Zhou Xinrui, and if Su Jinyin helped Zhou Xinrui, she would definitely be squeezed by Zhou Mengru*. After doing this a few times, the relationship between Su Jinyin and Zhou Mengru is not as good as before.
Thinking about it carefully, today is the first time that the two have met alone like this after Su Jinyin restarted.
The rain was slowly getting lighter, the silk threads were turning into cow hair, and the white candle flame was getting louder, and the bean-sized wax tears were burned and dripped down drop by drop.
Zhou Mengru put the white candle above her left hand, and she let the hot wax tears fall on her fingers.
Her fingers trembled from the high temperature, but Zhou Mengru didn't stop the action. The closer she got to the candle, the lower the tears.
In the end, the pain made Zhou Mengru unable to even hold the fire fold in her hand. The fire fold fell to the ground, rolled and rolled, and finally reached Su Jinyin's feet.
"Stop. Su Jinyin looked at Zhou Mengru's hot and red left hand, and said in a cold tone, "If it drops like this again, I don't want to bounce back the pipa in the future." ”
"Sister Su still remembers that I was good at playing the pipa. Zhou Mengru's face was illuminated by the candle flame that was clearly extinguished. The tearful appearance in her eyes is not only six points similar to Zhou Xinrui, but eight or nine points.
Su Jinyin put up the oil-paper umbrella in his hand again, and then walked towards Zhou Mengru. She said mercilessly: "Since you have the cruel intention to send someone to destroy your sister's innocence, why do you have to make such a gesture at this time? My pity for you is also the most useless thing." ”
Although the words were extremely mean, Su Jinyin leaned forward and blew out the half-lit candle in Zhou Mengru's hand.
Zhou Mengru didn't know if it was because of the pain or some other reason, the tears in her eyes burst out of her eyes, and she cried and apologized: "Sister Su, I was wrong." Please, I beg you, don't tell my sister. It was because I was jealous that my sister might marry the imperial concubine, and I was dizzy for a while. ”
"But Sister Su, don't worry, my sister hasn't really lost her innocence. The traces on her body were all made by women. Zhou Mengru saw that Su Jinyin had a suspicious face, so she stretched out three fingers and pointed to the sky and swore, "If I, Zhou Mengru, really ruin my sister's innocence, if I go to my sister's room and am not a woman, let me immediately thunder and thunder, and I will not die." ”
Su Jinyin listened to these words, and his heart was slightly relieved. She comforted Zhou Xinrui that she had the ability to solve everything, but it was actually a lie. She can heal Zhou Xinrui's injuries, but she can't give Zhou Xinrui back the innocence she lost.
Now that Zhou Mengru has sworn like this, Su Jinyin's heart has put down a stone.
Zhou Mengru is still repenting sincerely. She looked at Su Jinyin and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Su, I'm sorry." I really knew I was wrong. ”
She grabbed Su Jinyin's hand and slapped it in her face: "Sister Su, hit me." You come to punish me, just beg you not to tell my sister. Don't let her disappoint me and despair of me. ”
"Sister Su, what's wrong with your hand? I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Zhou Mengru found Su Jinyin's injured right hand with some hindsight, and she cried even harder, "Sister Su, punish me." You can stab me. ”
"You don't have to say something like that. Let me ask you, did you send someone to Xinrui last night?" Su Jinyin was most worried about Zhou Xinrui's mood. If she missed the appointment last night and Zhou Xinrui was hurt again, Su Jinyin was really afraid that this fragile friend would not be able to hold on.
Zhou Mengru in front of her shook her head desperately, and she swore to the sky again: "I absolutely not, if I deceive Sister Su, I will be killed by five thunderstorms in the sky." Sister Su, I saw the recipe you sent to my door last night. I know you already know everything. It was the second girl of the Li family, and it was Li Yunyun, the second sister of General Jingbei, who gave me this recipe. It was also she who fanned the flames in front of me and slandered my sister. ”
"She said that if my sister became the princess, she would definitely take revenge on me for disrespecting her before. She also said that this incense has absolutely no side effects. Sister Su, I really just dizzy for a while. Please believe me. Zhou Mengru wept bitterly and repented.
Su Jinyin looked at the woman in front of her who did not hesitate to harm herself to win sympathy, and really felt what it means to be a thing or a person at this moment.
The girl who surprised her with a rebounding pipa back then has long since changed. She now looks like pear blossoms with rain, and she looks very much like her sister Zhou Xinrui. But Su Jinyin knew how different the two were.
