The door was still open, and Tang Jiao was just about to shout, but Zou Niang walked out quickly.

When she saw Tang Jiao, Zou Niang paused for a moment, "Why did Miss come over?" ”

Tang Jiao didn't miss the flicker of loss in her eyes, as if she was looking forward to someone.

Glancing at the room, Tang Jiao's eyebrows were slightly raised, "Brother hasn't come back yet?" ”

Zou Niangniang knew that she couldn't hide it, so she nodded yes.

"What did my brother do?"

It's been three watches now, who is still outside at this time?

"The slave doesn't know."

Zou Niang obviously didn't want to say this.

"Zou Niang, don't hide it, my brother is not in good health, what if something happens?"

Zou Niang was entangled, "Miss, don't ask, the young master doesn't want you to know." ”

"You don't tell me what he does, you should tell me where he goes, right?"

Zou Niang had a bitter face, "The slave doesn't know, the young master just said that he would go out of the city, and he has to stay alone at this time of year." ”

After drinking a little wine, my brain couldn't turn a little, and I asked, "Why?" ”

After a pause, he pressed his forehead, thinking that Zou Niang still wouldn't speak, but he didn't expect her to hesitate for a moment, and said, "It's the death day of a very important person in the young master." ”

Tang Jiao was stunned.

This very important person should be Chen Peiyao's relatives.

"I'll go in and wait for him, and if he doesn't come back by the time, I'll let someone go out and look for him."

Zou Niang invited her in and gave her a bowl of hot soup that had been boiling.

Tang Jiao took two sips, leaned on the couch outside, took a book casually, and looked at the sleepiness.

At this time, on an inconspicuous hillside outside the city, Chen Peiyao sent paper money to the fire, and sitting opposite him was the steward of Tang Jiao's weaving workshop, Wei Shulin.

He was slowly reporting on the situation in the capital.

"The Chen family is now a puppet of the Sima family, the Sima family is powerful, and the second prince who uses him as a backer is also gradually revealed, looking for the fault of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince everywhere, I am afraid that the court will be turbulent."

Chen Peiyao's eyes fell on the firelight, and his eyes looked deep and cold.

"Are they making trouble with the Yu family?" His voice was hoarse.

"Not for the time being," glanced at Chen Peiyao carefully, Wei Shulin said again, "However, the Yu family has never given up looking for you in private, and now that I am under Miss Tang, I have the opportunity to contact the Yu family, young master, do you want to ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Peiyao raised his eyes to look at him, and Wei Shulin swallowed back the unfinished words.

The temperature in the mountains is very low at night, and even if there is a fire in front of you, you can still feel the cold wind.

Chen Peiyao's body couldn't hold it, his throat was itchy and coughed twice, Wei Shulin hurriedly took off his cloak.

"You're not well, you shouldn't be here."

Chen Peiyao raised his hand to refuse his approach, and suppressed a cough, "It's okay." ”

Wei Shulin's face was full of worry, "The subordinates are already asking people to find famous doctors, and there will always be someone who will solve the poison in your body, young master." ”

"You'll be fine, Lord and Madam, the Heavenly Spirit will bless you."

Chen Peiyao clutched his chest in pain.

He's going to be fine, naturally.

The family feud and blood hatred have not been avenged, and he has to hold on no matter what.

"I want to be alone, you can go back first."

Wei Shulin looked at his pale face and stopped talking, hesitated for a while and then retreated.

"Young Master, you should go back early."

Wei Shulin stepped on the moonlight and left, and Chen Peiyao waited until the fire was completely extinguished and the fire was completely gone.

On the day of the full moon, the city gates are not closed, and every household is happy.

He alone is like a ghost on the walking street.

A year ago today, he was also eating reunion wine with his parents, but who would have thought that it would be a Hongmen banquet.

Suddenly, the kind elders changed their faces, the wine was poisoned, he saw his parents fall in front of him, and he fled in embarrassment under the escort of the mother and son of the nurse Zou, and survived.

That scene came to his mind every night, and it became a long-lasting nightmare.

Carrying back to the Tang Mansion full of fatigue, the lanterns were as bright red and dazzling as if they had been stained with blood.

He almost returned to his yard in a trance, and Zou Niang always paid attention to the movement outside, and greeted him as soon as possible.

"Childe, you're back! Miss has been waiting for you. ”

Zou Niang's words made him pause, and he looked at Zou Niang to make sure he heard correctly.

Tang Jiao is waiting for him?

The suppressed emotions that haunted him instantly dispersed, and he stood outside the door for a moment before entering the room.

And Tang Jiao in the room was also awakened by the movement outside.

"How long?" It was Chen Peiyao's slightly hoarse voice.

"After waiting for half an hour, I fell asleep at this time."

Tang Jiao opened her eyes and stared at her in a daze, and a tall figure walked into her sight.

"Why don't you go back to sleep?" Chen Peiyao rubbed the top of her head.

Tang Jiao felt the coldness on his body and instantly sobered up.

"Why did my brother come back?"

Chen Peiyao looked at her and didn't speak.

Zou Niang brought the hot soup, and Chen Peiyao sat next to her.

Tang Jiao woke up at this time and looked at Chen Peiyao.

Except for some redness in the eyes, nothing was wrong.

On this day of family reunion, it is the death day of his family, how sad he should be.

So much so that he ran out alone and didn't come back until now.

"Is my brother in a better mood?" Tang Jiao asked softly, with a little caution, for fear of touching his sad place.

Chen Peiyao looked at her, and his eyes gradually softened.

"Well," he said after a moment's pause, "thank you." ”

Today he was really uncomfortable, but at this time, his heart calmed down.

Tang Jiao looked at his face.

His cheeks were red, but his lips were a little too white, and he touched his sleeve again, and it was cold.

"Is my brother feeling unwell?"

Chen Peiyao didn't feel cold after walking this way, but his chest was a little stuffy, but he was used to it, but at this time, there was a bit of weakness in Tang Jiao's concerned eyes.

"Well, some." He lowered his eyes and looked at the fluctuating decoction in his hand, just like his state of mind at this time.

It's been uneven for a long time.

"Then I'll have someone call for a doctor." Saying that Tang Jiao was about to summon Mo Tong, Chen Peiyao interrupted her.

"It's okay, it's just a little uncomfortable."

When the words fell, he slightly raised his eyebrows and drank the soup, Tang Jiao saw that he was really uncomfortable, and said without hesitation: "I'll rub it for my brother." ”

She had already stood up, and Chen Peiyao did not stop her from approaching.

Tang Jiao stood behind him, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly as his warm fingers landed on his temples.

Her technique is not skilled, but she is extremely serious, which makes Chen Peiyao comfortable.

Tang Jiao took his hair apart again and pressed it again and again.

She pressed her hand for a while, and pantothenic acid, Chen Peiyao also felt her gradually constricting strength.

grabbed her hand and brought her to the front, "Okay, it's not uncomfortable anymore." ”

He grabbed her wrist.

Her hands were thin, lukewarm, and comfortable to hold.

Chen Peiyao didn't want to let go.

Tang Jiao was already sleepy at this time, and she didn't notice the intimacy of this action, so she yawned heavily.

"Brother, rest early, I'm sleepy too."

Chen Peiyao also wanted her to stay for a while, even if she didn't speak, she could feel at ease when she felt her presence next to her.

It can be seen that her tired eyes are a little tired, and she still lets her go.
