Chapter Seventy-Nine: Defeated

He Lingjiang half-squatted, looking at the caged cat at level with him, as if he wanted to look into its eyes.

"To be a domestic cat, you still have to be obedient." The corners of her eyes were slightly curved, and her voice was gentle, "The temperament is too wild, it's not good." ”

As she spoke, she flicked her fingers on the cat's head, but the cat seemed to be burned by fire, screamed fiercely, jumped up and stretched out her claws to pounce on He Lingjiang, but was blocked back by the iron cage.

Sun Rujin's face turned white, and he hurriedly escorted him to He Lingjiang: "Ling Jiang, are you okay?" ”

He Lingjiang shook his head.

Sun Rujin said to Mrs. Sun: "Auntie, the briquettes have really been a little bad in the past two days, and even I have to catch them." You can't spoil it like this anymore! ”

Mrs. Sun frowned and sighed in a low voice: "It's me who spoils it too much!" actually let it disturb He Qi Niangzi twice in a row. Seven Ladies, I apologize to you here. ”

With that, she was about to get up and salute He Ling Jiang.

He Lingjiang hurriedly stopped her movements: "Madam is an elder, this gift is going to torment me!" It's common for cats to be naughty, and they just need to be disciplined, and Madame doesn't have to be so mindful. ”

Mrs. Sun's tone was slightly dark, and she instructed the servants beside her: "Take the briquettes down, put them in a cage, starve them for two days, and let them remember it for a long time." ”

Because of this, her desire to enjoy the scenery also faded a little, and after sitting for a while, she waved her hand and said, "I'll go back to the room first, and let Jin Niang continue to accompany the Seventh Lady." ”

A few petals rolled up to Mrs. Sun's side, and after a few rolls around her, they fell lightly to the ground, as if they couldn't bear her to leave.

Mrs. Sun looked up and saw that the Xinyi in the courtyard was still as tall and straight as she remembered, and since she was sick, she had never seen this Xinyi tree so closely.

Unconsciously, she walked to the bottom of the tree, reached out and touched the rough body of the tree, the branches of the tree swayed slightly in the wind, the petals trembled lightly, as if the wind was blowing, and the purple and red petals rained down one after another, falling all over her clothes.

Suddenly, the petals were fluttering, and the fragrance was overflowing, lingering around her for a long time.

Sun Rujin couldn't help but hold her breath and said softly: "It's so beautiful." ”

It's beautiful.

He Lingjiang stared at the Xinyi tree and said secretly in his heart.

I don't know how long it took, the wind calmed down, and the petals slowly fell to the ground, leaving only a sigh.

Sun Rujin trotted over, his voice full of excitement: "Ah Niang, you just stood under the tree, just when the petals were raining down, it was really beautiful." ”

Mrs. Sun came back to her senses and put down her hand that was caressing the trunk of the tree, only to realize that a petal had fallen at her feet.

She smiled when she heard this, and under the sunlight, the whole person disappeared from the previous weakness and looked radiant.

"You little ladies, you know that. Okay, I won't say more to you, you can accompany the Seventh Lady well. So he went back to his house.

Sun Rujin sat back in the tent: "Ling Jiang, I just feel that A-Niang's spirit seems to be much better, have you noticed?" ”

"It's a lot better." He Lingjiang nodded slightly.

Why is that? Is it because of the good mood today? Sun Rujin asked curiously, "In this way, as long as A-Niang is happy, her illness will be cured soon?" ”

He Lingjiang looked at the Xin Yi flower trembling in the wind, it seemed to have exhausted all its Shaohua in that moment, and the purple-red petals were glowing a little dull brownish.

"If you want to know, I'll show you in the evening."

Sun Rujin didn't know what she was selling, but seeing that she was silent and didn't say much, she also knew that she couldn't ask why, so she had to give up.

After dinner, Sun Rujin urged He Lingjiang to see the reason she said.

He Lingjiang looked at the sky, but it was not the way it was.

"Wait. You have a chessboard in your room, how about a few games? ”

Sun Rujin was anxious to know the truth, but she also knew that she didn't want to say it, so it was useless to force her, so she had to move out of the chessboard and play chess with her patiently.

As the night deepened, the entire Sun Mansion gradually quieted down.

Sun Rujin propped up his chin and forced himself to prop up his heavy eyelids: "Do you still want to go down?" ”

He Lingjiang picked up a sunspot and put it on the chessboard: "Just finish this game." ”

"Then hurry up, if it goes on like this, I can't help but fall asleep." Sun Rujin couldn't help yawning.

This game ends, and it is the time of the sub.

He Lingjiang threw the chess pieces into the chess basket, got up and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where to go?" Sun Rujin asked with his eyes propped.

He Lingjiang opened the door, turned around and said, "Go and see why your aunt suddenly got a little better today." If you're lucky, maybe, you can also see the cause of your aunt's illness. ”

Sun Rujin suddenly felt a thrill, and the whole person became sober.

He Lingjiang whispered to her: "Don't surprise your maid, just have Aman and Qingzhu follow." ”

Sun Rujin nodded.

He Lingjiang took her all the way out of the yard.

There was silence in the Sun Mansion, only the occasional sound of the wind blowing the leaves came, and people had fallen asleep.

Sun Rujin followed her and found that this was going to her aunt's courtyard.

She couldn't help asking, "Ling Jiang, are we going to A-Niang's courtyard?" ”

"Yes."

Sun Rujin lowered his eyes and said no more.

The courtyards of the Sun Mansion are also locked at night, she just wanted to go up and knock on the door, calling the old woman on duty to open the door, but He Lingjiang stopped her movements.

"Shh He Lingjiang put his index finger in front of his lips and said softly, "Let's sneak in, don't alarm others." ”

Sun Rujin looked at the high-built courtyard gate and wall, and his face was difficult.

"Qingzhu, you take the fourth lady in." After that, He Lingjiang had already jumped into the hospital first.

Sun Rujin reacted, this seventh lady of the He family is not only proficient in occult arts, but also has a good martial arts.

Aman followed closely, she had just learned, and she was still a little rusty between the movements, and she sighed secretly when she saw Qingzhu, it seemed that she had to be taught well when she went back.

"Fourth lady, be careful."

Sun Rujin only felt a tightness in his waist, and then his body was light, and the whole person rose into the air and landed on the other side of the high wall.

"Let's go. Move gently. ”

Sun Rujin followed her blankly, walked through the verandah, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had stood under the Xinyi tree that A-Niang loved.

She was just about to speak, but she glanced at the ground and couldn't help but be startled.

At some point, a thick layer of petals was spread on the ground around Xin Yi, and she moved her feet and stepped on it softly.

In the moonlight, the petals of this place do not have the beautiful color of the day, but show a kind of brown and yellow, all withered and withered.

Sun Rujin looked up suddenly, and saw that the branches that were still like smoke and mist had become bare, and they were a little cold and gloomy in the white moonlight.

The flowering period is just right and the fragrance is striking Xinyi, but suddenly all of them withered overnight, leaving only one petal in vain.

There was a shock in her eyes: "Ling Jiang, this flower ......"
