Chapter 17: Asking for help
Song Zhizhi gently grabbed Ah Candle's sleeve, his eyes were wet with tears, but there was an indescribable joy, and he whispered: "Ah Candle, thank you, you are so amazing." β
Ah Candle was praised flutteringly, and consciously took on the responsibility of protecting the weak.
"There's nothing to be afraid of!"
Song Zhizhi nodded seriously, and was about to speak, when a cold voice sounded from behind.
Pei Mingshi was delayed by some things, and he only arrived at this time. She frowned and asked, "What are you afraid of?" β
Hearing this voice, Ah Candle turned around and his eyes fell on Princess Mingshi. She wore a crimson narrow-sleeved shirt that was easy to ride and shoot today, and she was tall and bright, and she was calm and dignified.
Ah Candle didn't blink, Danfeng's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he didn't notice Xi Lan next to him at all.
Pei Mingshi raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to smile helplessly.
"What are you looking at?"
So, Song Zhizhi watched Ah Candle abandon himself and run to Princess Mingshi in a hurry.
Ah Candle looked up at Princess Mingshi, and secretly hated in his heart, who kind of people Qin Candle met! Treat her like this! Obviously she is two years old, why is she half a head shorter than the princess!
Ah Candle opened his mouth full of grievances, without blinking his eyes: "Someone just bullied us!" Qi Niang was bullied and cried! They also said that I was from the countryside and a commoner, and I thought I was going to kick me out. Scared the hell out of me! β
β¦β¦ There's nothing to be afraid of.
β¦β¦ Scared the hell out of me.
Song Zhizhi was in a trance, was this really what a person said?
She must have misheard, must have misheard.
Pei Mingshi lowered his eyebrows, pinched her little hand, and said, "I have the final say here, who dares to kick you out?" Remember who it was? β
Ah Candle was embarrassed to say that she and Qi Niang didn't know each other, except for her, the nobles were all wearing brightly colored clothes, and their bodies were similar, so they couldn't be recognized. For a moment, she had forgotten what they looked like.
Ah Candle pretended to be generous: "This matter is over, forget it." We didn't suffer anyway. β
Not only did they not suffer a loss, but they all made people cry angrily.
I don't know, I think she's a bully.
Xi Lan sneered, seeing that Ah Candle hadn't found out yet, he was angry, and turned his face away coldly.
What's so good about Pei Mingshi?
One or two like her, is there only this tree left in the world? I had to hang her!
The arrival of Princess Mingshi attracted a lot of attention, and soon, many people took the initiative to come up.
Princess Mingshi sat down, grabbed a handful of fruits and gave them to Ah Candle and the two, and told them to play by themselves.
People came and went in the paddock, Qi Zhen'er and others were also there, and when they saw Song Zhizhi, who had only seen each other for 800 years, they were pleasantly surprised, and they couldn't help but pull people away and shout that they wanted to teach them a lesson.
Qi Zhen'er turned back to Ah Candle and said, "Don't worry, they haven't seen Qi Niang for a long time, they're having fun!" We'll be here in a moment! β
Ah Candle saw Song Zhizhi's face blushing, but he was not reluctant, he knew in his heart, and was ready to wear this old clothes to shake around.
Who knew that Luo Yumin walked behind her silently, and said "Qin Niangzi", which frightened Ah Candle and almost scattered!
Luo Yumin said coldly: "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, Qin Niangzi is so frightened, she must have done a bad thing, right?" Are you dressed like this to make people think that the county lord's mansion is treating you harshly? β
Ah Candle caressed her heart, not afraid of not being afraid, let Luo Niangzi be afraid.
She raised her head and looked at Luo Yumin with a look of surprise, as if she had done something bad, and said with a righteous attitude:
"Luo Niangzi, don't sow discord. A-Niang and the county lord are very good to me, we are a family, what is not harsh, it's nonsense! β
"Then why do you dress like this? Is there no other garment? Luo Yumin said angrily.
"I'm afraid to scare Mrs. Luo when I say it."
Ah Candle smiled slightly, pretending to be profound: "I am in the room...... Ghosts. β
Luo Yumin: "??? β
The god of candles muttered, "Really, it's really haunted. A-Niang asked someone to make me a wardrobe of clothes, and when I looked at it this morning, it was all turned into rags! There must have been a ghost who came to my room in the middle of the night with scissors, and clattered and ruined all my clothes! β
"You talk nonsense!"
In the blue sky, Luo Yumin was scared out of a cold sweat, and he didn't care about condemning Ah Candle, seeing that she was getting closer and closer to him, as if a ghost was following him, he screamed and ran away.
Candle: "......"
Ah, is it that scary?
Xi Lan came out of nowhere, and said coldly: "Qingzhou Luo's is the most short-sighted, you intimidate Luo Niangzi like this, aren't you afraid that her family will come to the door?" β
Ah Candle glanced at him, "I didn't intimidate people, what I said is true, a cabinet of clothes has been cut into rags, isn't it what the hell?" β
"And." She was triumphant, "My aunt said that she loves me the most, and she is not afraid of everything." β
Luo Yumin's father and mother had better come to the door and beat An Chengjun as soon as possible.
In this way, Ah Candle can wake up happily from his dreams.
Xi Lan looked at her quietly, thinking of the dream she had last night, which really seemed to have happened in her previous life.
No matter how Ah Candle came to Shengjing, as long as the county lord of Ruyi was sick, the county lord of Ancheng would try his best to control people under his nose and pretend to be a loving mother, as if his conscience had finally returned after so many years, and he wanted to take his daughter with him and love him.
In this way, you can not only win a good reputation, but also control and use people.
It's just hypocritical!
Xi Lan didn't know how Ah Candle in his dream turned danger into a disaster, and he didn't know if Ah Candle was still in the dark now, but no matter what, he would not sit idly by.
Ah Candle suddenly sighed and said, "Xi Erlangjun, you always look at me like this, don't you really like me?" β
"Qin Niangzi laughed." Xi Lan learned the lessons of his predecessors, tried his best to make a calm appearance, and said, "The county lord of Ancheng is different, Qin Niangzi should be careful." β
Ah Candle grinned: "I know." β
"She doesn't really love ......" Xi Lan was halfway through his speech, and when he realized that something was wrong, he looked at Ah Candle, who had his hands behind his back, as if he was laughing as usual, and Xi Lan thought he had heard it wrong.
SheβDoes she really know??
What does she know?
Xi Lan frowned slightly, "I said that the county lord of Ancheng has bad intentions, and he doesn't really love you, and you also believe me?" β
Ah Candle said: "Believe it! β
Xi Lan was stunned for a moment.
"Why?"
"No why, I'm sure you won't hurt me." Ah Candle said seriously. This is true, she has always believed in her own feelings, just as the first time she saw Lord Ancheng, she saw the disgust and hypocrisy under her loving countenance, and she looked at her gaze as if she was looking at an object that she had never loved, but she thought she was hiding it well.
Ah Candle is a child who grew up in love, she knows that being loved is an extremely precious emotion, and it is because she has seen and owned it that she can distinguish what is true and what is false.
