Chapter 2: The Case of Overboard
Mrs. Tai understood Wanqing's intentions, smiled with relief, and said: "It's rare that you have this filial piety, how can grandma refuse, but Wanqing yourself, you still need to see more." ”
Wanqing also understood that what Mrs. Tai was referring to was Feng Qiuyin's expedition, she wanted to comfort her grandmother, but she was comforted by her grandmother in turn, and her heart was sour, and tears flowed down.
Mrs. Tai saw Wanqing crying, couldn't help but pull her to sit down, looked out the window, smiled bitterly, and said: "Actually, your grandfather went on the expedition that year in this rainy season, I remember that day, I also had a quarrel with him because of a misunderstanding, but he hugged me tightly, his face was full of sadness, I didn't pay attention to it at the time, he didn't say anything, until the next morning, I didn't know that he was about to go on the expedition, and soon after he left, he sent someone to bring me this wooden box, but ......"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai's voice whimpered a little, "I didn't expect that that expedition to become his last expedition." ”
When Wanqing heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little touched in her heart, at this moment, isn't this situation and this scene just her and Feng Qiuyin? The misunderstanding between grandpa and grandma has not been resolved until the end, and I have not been able to say a sentence that I don't hate you anymore, it has become the regret of grandma's life, and what about Wanqing, how she hopes that when Feng Qiuyin leaves, she will say to him, I don't hate you! It's a pity that for the sake of that humble self-esteem, she didn't say it after all.
And she had already thought that the wooden box might contain a kind of sustenance, a hope, a prayer.
Coming back from Ning Shouxuan, Wanqing went to Feng Qiuyin's study, which was still the same, in the middle was the carved bookcase and Taishi chair, his favorite horse blood jade ink had a slender brush horizontally, and on the bookcase, there was a stack of slightly messy white rice paper, and on the first piece of rice paper, there were a few lines of big characters that he had not finished.
Wanqing carefully picked up the rice paper, put it on the tip of her nose, and asked carefully, in addition to the faint fragrance of the rice paper itself, there was still a unique sandalwood on his body, Wanqing held the rice paper tightly in her arms, once upon a time, she had a deep dependence on him.
The heart became more and more sad, and the porcelain face shed two lines of tears again, if he encountered an accident on the battlefield, I am afraid that the rest of her life will be spent in regret and self-blame, and it will be difficult to forgive herself in this life.
In addition to grief, a black figure suddenly flashed, Wanqing immediately withdrew her tears, became vigilant, and when she wanted to take a closer look, the person had already knelt down in front of her and said, "Subordinates see the general's wife." ”
Wanqing was a little stunned, but seeing that he had no malicious intent, she asked, "Who are you and why do you know me?" ”
After hearing this, the man immediately bowed his hand and said: "My subordinate Wang Zhong is a secret agent next to the general, and he suddenly appeared to offend Madame, and I hope Madame will forgive me." ”
Spy? Wanqing was puzzled, and suddenly it occurred in her mind, and then she remembered, wasn't this person the person who stood next to Feng Qiuyin when she was kidnapped by the evil wind that day?
Wanqing helped him up with one hand and said, "Since you are the henchmen around the general, you don't need to be polite to me, but I don't know why the king's secret agent is here?" ”
When he saw her like this, he was much more relaxed, and said bluntly: "Madame can call me Wang Zhong, my subordinates are under the order of the general to thoroughly investigate the case of Madame falling into the water. With that, he took out a bag of sachets from his bosom and handed it to her.
Wanqing took it, her heart sank suddenly, and she sniffed it again, was shocked, and frowned: "Did you find out the ingredients in this?" ”
"Yes, my subordinates have asked a number of medical centers, and this sachet contains not ordinary spices, but a strong medicine that can break the surface of the ice."
When he had said this, he looked up at her, but found that her face was pale and incredulous, and he understood, and continued: "If Madame finds it difficult, her subordinates are willing to do it for her!" ”
"No, no!" When Wanqing heard this, she immediately stopped him and said, "This is a matter in my boudoir, and it is not appropriate to publicize it, so let me solve it myself." ”
Seeing her insisting, he raised his head and stopped talking, hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, my subordinates obey orders." ”
Back in the room, Wanqing didn't say a word, and once felt a lot of pain in her heart and a chill on her side. Holding the bag of sachets in his hand, he still looked incredulous, sitting quietly by the window, with a hint of sadness between his delicate eyebrows, which made people feel distressed.
"Miss, it's getting late, please rest early." Suddenly there was a voice from Shuang'er's ears, and Wanqing immediately hid the sachet in her sleeve and said casually: "You go to sleep first, I'm not sleepy." ”
Shuang'er didn't notice anything, but she only felt that she was in a trance tonight, so she immediately came forward and asked with concern, "Miss, are you uncomfortable?" My face is very bad. ”
When Wanqing heard her say this, she had mixed feelings in her heart, took her hand and asked, "Shuang'er, do you really care about me?" ”
Shuang'er didn't hesitate at all, and nodded hurriedly, but he was puzzled in his heart and asked, "Miss, why do you want to ask like this?" ”
Wanqing became more and more weak, dodging her gaze, and said, "No...... Nothing, just ask. ”
The more she deliberately hidden, the more confused Shuang'er became, and asked anxiously, "Miss, what's wrong with you today?" Shuang'er thinks you have something to hide from me. As he spoke, Shuang'er pursed his lips with a look of grievance.
"It's really nothing." Wanqing replied hurriedly, but she never dared to look her in the eyes. "I'm just a little worried about the general."
"Miss is lying!" Shuang'er pouted her mouth higher and higher, "The misunderstanding between the general and the young lady has not been resolved, and Shuang'er also knows the truth, if the young lady is really worried about the general, Shuang'er really doesn't believe it." ”
"You damn girl, I said, nothing is nothing, you look like this, it's really annoying!" Wanqing was a little anxious, stood up directly, and with a wave of her long sleeves, she almost pushed Shuang'er down, but with this wave, the sachet in her sleeve flew out of it, only to hear a bang, and landed firmly on the ground.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the two of them were silent, both staring at the sachet on the ground, and their faces became more and more ugly.
"I picked up this sachet by the lake." After a long time, Wanqing spoke, her voice was low and hoarse, and the feeling of trying to hide her pain in her words stung Shuang'er deeply.
As she spoke, she walked up to Shuang'er, bending down to pick up the sachet on the ground, but she didn't want to be snatched away by Shuang'er.
"Miss, when did you know about it?" A thick astringency spread in Wanqing's heart with her voice, and she forcibly endured the sadness in her heart and looked at her, "Did you really do it?" ”
Wanqing didn't answer the rhetorical question, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but when Shuang'er heard it, it was like a burst of mallets, beating straight into her heart.
