Ye Qiong's expression suddenly changed.

It seemed that he had fallen into an ice cave in an instant, and the killing intent and resentment overflowing from Ye Qiong's body were felt even by Su Kite, who was lying beside Su Mei's bed, and when he wanted to explore again, the killing intent and resentment disappeared like smoke.

Everyone only said that Ye Qiong was sad about Su Mei's affairs, and secretly wondered in their hearts, but Ye Qiong had a cold face and asked Su Yuan: "Su Yuan, what are you going to do now?" It is a crime of disobedience to sue parents with a son, and it is not possible to report it to the officials. ”

Su Kite kowtowed in front of Ye Qiong and said, "Girl, no matter how those people have nurtured me and my sister, I also know that the kinship cannot be severed, so I don't ask for my life to pay for my life." I also asked the girl to take back the Wenmo shop, drive them all to the Ye family grange, and hand them over to my uncle, who is the steward of the grange, and they are not allowed to enter the capital again. ”

Ye Qiong bowed her head and said, "Just do as you say." Pick a random gift from my treasury and give it to your uncle, so that he can do things carefully, so as to show that I mean. You don't have to be embarrassed to pick, you and the Wandering Bird have followed me since childhood, and there are both merits and hard work, and the Wandering Bird will also get a share. ”

Su Yuan wanted to refuse, but seeing that Ye Qiong's mood was wrong, she didn't say anything, so she had to respond for the time being.

Ye Qiong saluted Wang Zhiling again, and said, "Thank you Miss Wang for telling us the truth of this matter, Su Mei's treatment after that, and please ask Miss Wang to bother more, what kind of precious medicinal materials to use." ”

Wang Zhiling waved her hand and said: "It's just a gesture, why don't you say thank you." I can't come out all the time, and I will hand over the follow-up treatment to other medical women in my grandfather's medical hall, but Miss Ye Er can rest assured that the medical women in my grandfather's medical hall have rich experience in visiting patients and are more suitable than me. As for today, I'll wait for this girl to wake up before leaving. ”

Ye Qiong nodded, and at this time, the cuckoo who went to Ye's house to call people came back, and brought a message, she said: "Girl, Master Xie is here again, I don't know what I told the old lady, I heard that it is related to the girl's family affairs, and there is a quarrel inside, does the girl want to go back and see?" ”

Ye Qiong's expression was even colder, and she first ordered Ye Er to check the details of the Hua family, and after saying goodbye to everyone, she hurriedly returned to the Ye family.

When Ye Qiong returned to Ye's house, Xie Maoshi had already left, and the little maid who changed the tea came out angrily with a tea cup that only used one sip, and scolded: "This Lord Xie is really picky, this is Xinyang Maojian, it is good to be able to drink it, and you must use Xinyang Maojian soaked in Longtan spring water, your mouth is really picky." ”

Ye Qiong's footsteps paused slightly, and she passed by the little girl.

Xie Shi happened to walk out of the living room, and when he saw Ye Qiong coming back, he smiled reluctantly: "Nan Nan is back, how is Su Kite's affairs handled, do you need A-Niang to come forward?" ”

Ye Qiong shook her head, smiled a little stiffly and said, "It's all dealt with, where do you need A-Niang's help." I still want to draw a picture of my sister's wedding dress, so I'll go back first. ”

Xie nodded, perhaps because of something on his mind, Xie didn't notice Ye Qiong's abnormality.

Ye Qiong turned around, and the corners of her mouth fell.

She walked quickly on the way back to Qionghua Courtyard, the corners of her skirt fluttered so much that she was almost about to fly, and the cuckoo trotted all the way to keep up, and finally entered the Qionghua Courtyard, and the cuckoo heard Ye Qiong say to her, "Don't let anyone approach", and entered the inner courtyard, leaving the cuckoo confused.

As soon as Ye Qiong stepped into the inner courtyard, the tears on her face finally slipped suddenly.

When he first met Xie Shi, the reluctant smile on Xie Shi's face slowly overlapped with the last side of Xie Shi in Ye Qiong's memory in his previous life.

On the last side of the previous life, Xie was under the lamp, boiling his eyes to make the plain clothes that Ye Qiong was going to wear in the filial piety period, and when he saw Ye Qiong coming, he smiled reluctantly, took half of the clothes and compared them to Ye Qiong's body, turned out a small Qiong flower on the inside of the placket and said to Ye Qiong: "Mother knows, our family loves to be beautiful, and you can't wear clothes with patterns during the filial piety period, so A-Niang secretly embroidered a little Qiong flower here, and your father will be happy to see it." ”

Ye Qiong took out her handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face, half of her handkerchief was embroidered by her sister Ye Yao, most of it was embroidered by Xie herself, and a small white Qiong flower was embroidered in the corner.

Ye Qiong was full of bitterness and grief, and her chest was uncomfortable, but who could she tell and who could she say that in her ethereal previous life, her mother died at the hands of others, but she watched the murderer go for a whole life, and she didn't know the truth until she crawled back from hell in this life?

The ghost made the gods send the earth, and Ye Qiong thought of Lu Shaodan.

She came to the dog hole that had been dug at the beginning, and asked there without much hope, "Brother Shaodan, are you there?" ”

There was no answer from the other side, Ye Qiongxin said that it was true, and when he squatted down with his knees in the corner, he heard a voice above his head: "Ye Qiong, what's wrong with you?" ”

On the wall, the young man in Xuanyi was looking at Ye Qiong with his chest crossed, and there was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of his nose.

Suddenly, the young man in front of her coincided with the figure of the man in the fiery red clothes that Ye Qiong saw before she died in her previous life.

Ye Qiong raised her head and opened her eyes wide, and tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Lu Shaodan felt a pang in his heart, jumped down from the wall and squatted in front of Ye Qiong, turned over his body but didn't find a handkerchief, and then patted his head and remembered that he had changed his clothes before practicing martial arts. Ye Qiong before he met, tears kept rolling down like pearls with broken threads, and he could only use his sleeve to wipe the tears from Ye Qiong's face helplessly, and persuaded in a low voice: "If you have anything sad, just tell me, don't cry......"

Seeing that Ye Qiong's tears had no tendency to stop, Lu Shaodan sighed, simply sat on the ground beside Ye Qiong, and said, "Okay, since you don't want to talk about it at the moment, do you want to listen to my story first?" I said I was going to tell you about it last time......"

Last time, it was the promise that Ye Qiong made to her in order to keep Ye Qiong from falling asleep when Lu Shaodan carried Ye Qiong back on his back when he rolled down the hillside on Pomegranate Mountain.

Ye Qiong sobbed and said, "Didn't I say that I want you to hide the secret, who wants to listen to it......"

Lu Shaodan saw that Ye Qiong's mood eased a little, smiled, and said slowly: "Once upon a time, there was a child, before he was five years old, he always thought that he was the happiest child in the world. Parents are loving, food and clothing are worry-free, even if the father is crippled and has cut off relations with his family, but as long as the family of three has been together, the other relatives don't seem to be very important. ”

Ye Qiong's crying gradually stopped, and she was fascinated by Lu Shaodan's words.

Lu Shaodan's father, Lu Moxuan, the fifth son of Zhenguo Gong, although he was lame due to an accident when he was young, he is also a young talent who is amazing and has made the nobles of the entire capital dream.

Lu Moxuan died when Lu Shaodan was five years old.

Lu Shaodan's expression was gloomy, and he continued: "Later, the child's father died, died in the midst of intrigues, and died on the way to defend what he believed to be the way of righteousness. His mother fled with him all the way, separated by a high courtyard wall, but he didn't dare to recognize his family, and his blood and family affection were not as chivalrous as they met in Pingshui. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Shaodan unconsciously clenched his fists, but Ye Qiong gently untied them and stuffed them into his hands.

Ye Qiong's hands were very small, and their hands were a little cold, but it seemed that there was still warmth in Lu Shaodan's heart.

Lu Shaodan was a little stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little childlike dazed, Ye Qiong shook his head and said, "That's it, Brother Shaodan, listen to my story too." ”

Lu Shaodan nodded, Ye Qiong sat down on the ground at some point, the red and gold skirt spread out in the frozen mud, but Ye Qiong just said her story as if she didn't see it, and her voice was hoarse after crying: "Once upon a time there was a little girl, she has always been very happy, her parents are loving, her family is prosperous, she is a delicate girl, and the biggest worry every day is what clothes to wear and what jewelry to wear." ”

"Until one day, everything changed." Ye Qiong's expression cooled down, and she seemed to have returned to the last time in her previous life, "Overnight, my father was beheaded, my mother was hanged, my brothers and sisters also died, and in the end, she was the only one left." ”

Lu Shaodan listened to Ye Qiong's words, and a strange feeling slowly rose in his heart, and a chill overflowed from his heart and slowly climbed up to his limbs.

What Ye Qiong said seemed to be the fate of the Ye family if the soul calling case was not successfully resolved.

But how is this possible? Lu Shaodan decided to only listen to Ye Qiong's words as a story.

"She once struggled in the deep palace where she would lose her life if she said the wrong word, and she also spent all her youth and enthusiasm in the courtyard of the high gate. She had always been alone, spending long nights alone, and then dying alone on false charges, without even a whole body. Ye Qiong said slowly, in just a few words, as if she had spent another life.

Ye Qiong's hand was still held in her hand by Lu Shaodan, and her hand was still cold, as if she couldn't cover it hot.

Lu Shaodan suddenly hoped that Ye Qiong would not continue to speak, but Ye Qiong still continued, she said: "It's really ridiculous, until she walked across the Nai He Bridge and died and lived again, that girl didn't know that her aunt's death was not from self-hanging, but from being hanged!" ”

Lu Shaodan's heart exploded suddenly, Ye Qiong in front of her seemed to fall into madness all of a sudden, she pulled out her hand from Lu Shaodan's hand, and looked at her hand carefully, in her previous life, it was these hands that hugged her mother's leg hanging in the air and untied the white silk hanging on her mother's neck.

Those evidences were right under her nose, but she turned a blind eye, thinking that her mother really couldn't stand the blow and chose to hang herself!

"Is it the little girl's fault? It was she who spared the murderer! It was she who destroyed the evidence with her own hands! It's her, it's my ......" In the end, Ye Qiong couldn't tell whether she was telling the little girl in the story or herself in her previous life, so she hugged her head and cried.

Lu Shaodan was sad in his heart, gently patted Ye Qiong's back, and whispered comfort: "It's not that little girl's fault, it's that the murderer is too cunning." It's okay, Ye Qiong, it's okay, you're here, I'm here, your mother is still alive, everyone is ......"

I don't know when Ye Qiong gently leaned on Lu Shaodan's shoulder, letting her tears take away with all and remorse, guilt and self-blame until the tears ran out.

The world was quiet, and light white snowflakes fell on Ye Qiong and Lu Shaodan's hair and eyelashes.

Lu Shaodan said in a low voice and surprise: "Ye Qiong, it's snowing." ”

In response to Lu Shaodan, Ye Qiong's breathing gradually stabilized, he looked down and saw that Ye Qiong had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulder at some point, even in a dream, Ye Qiong's brows were still furrowed.

Lu Shaodan sighed, could only gently brush away the willow-like snowflakes in Ye Qiong's hair, carefully carried Ye Qiong into her room, and put her on the bed.

Lu Shaodan stretched out his hand again and slightly lifted Ye Qiong's forehead, seeing that the scar on Ye Qiong's forehead still had a shallow mark, he took out a small box and a note from his sleeve, thought about it, and used Ye Qiong's pen and ink to draw something on the back of the note. This alone was not enough, Lu Shaodan climbed over the courtyard wall and went to the courtyard of the Lu family to fold a plum blossom with frost, and put it at the head of Ye Qiong's bed with the small box and the note.

In the end, Lu Shaodan knelt in front of Ye Qiong's bed, looked at Ye Qiong's sleeping face, and whispered: "I never saw you cry like this when I was a child...... I don't know what happened to you, I just hope you get what you want. Have a good dream, if you can't have a good dream, at least wake up and see my note and smile. Ye Qiong, I'm leaving. ”

Maybe it was Lu Shaodan's words that had magic power, Ye Qiong's expression was really calmer, Lu Shaodan relaxed slightly, and pinched his throat and pretended to be Ye Qiong's voice and shouted Du Juan, who was already in suspense, and immediately leaned out, and when he saw that there was no figure in the courtyard, he pushed open Ye Qiong's door.

Lu Shaodan breathed a sigh of relief, jumped onto the courtyard wall and turned back to the Lu family, still having a lot of doubts in his heart.

Is the little girl Ye Qiong said really herself?

Forget it, it's useless to think too much. Ye Qiong is willing to tell herself about things, that is, she is trustworthy, and she also knows that she is not a person who will ask more, instead of speculating in her heart, it is better to keep an eye on the things around Ye Qiong.

Lu Shaodan turned around and looked at the side of the courtyard wall and frowned.
