4. Broken dreams
After lunch, Cheng Yiwan said softly, "My lord, I want to see my mother." ”
I thought that Pei Shangyu would propose some conditions in exchange, but this time, he didn't say much, let her go, Cheng Yiwan retreated from the front hall and went straight to Huo Shuyun's room.
"Sister!"
Cheng Zhiqing looked at his sister's haggard face and asked, "Where have you been these days, why has your father come back and you haven't seen your sister?" ”
Cheng Yiwan stretched out her hand and touched his head: "Okay, isn't it okay for Sister?" What about mothers? ”
"Mother knows that Sister Ah will come back today and is waiting."
He leaned sideways to give way to Cheng Yiwan, watching her walk in, the unpleasant smell of medicine filled the whole room, Huo Shuyun leaned on the head of the bed: "Wan'er, is it you?" ”
Cheng Yiwan walked over and held his mother's hand: "It's me, mother, are you feeling better?" ”
"Mother's body is much better, your father is also back, which adult do you ask for, help your father like this, we should come to the door to thank you."
Hearing Huo Shuyun ask about this, Cheng Yiwan's heart fell inch by inch, and she replied with a smile: "It's an adult from the capital, mother, I'll feed you medicine at night." ”
Stretched out her hand to pick up the medicine bowl on the side, and fed it to Huo Shuyun one bite at a time, after Huo Shuyun fell asleep, she walked out of the room, Cheng Zhiqing on the side took her hand, and said with red eyes: "The adult that Sister said is Pei Xiang." ”
"A person like Pei Shangyu is a poisonous snake, if Sister provokes it, can she escape?"
The little boy's eyes were full of stubbornness, but he was too weak to do anything, so he could only watch his favorite sister jump into the fire pit.
Cheng Yiwan raised her hand and wanted to touch his head, but was avoided by Cheng Zhiqing, she withdrew her hand: "Qing'er, some things are not up to you and me, now that my father has been released, our family is reunited, don't worry about anything anymore." ”
As for doing Pei Shangyu's outer room, she didn't plan to tell her family, it was not a glorious thing, and when Pei Shangyu returned to the capital, she was afraid that she would also follow, so that her father and mother would think she was dead.
"Sister!"
Cheng Zhiqing shouted to her, and Cheng Yiwan shook his head: "Okay, go back to Wen Shu." ”
He angrily shook off Cheng Yiwan's hand and ran back to his yard, and when he walked to the front yard, Pei Shangyu and Cheng Wenxi were talking under the corridor.
"Daddy, sir."
Hearing Cheng Yiwan's voice, Pei Shangyu stretched out his hand, Cheng Yi held his hand before the evening, and the two stood together and were very compatible, but Cheng Wenxi knew Pei Shangyu's identity, and his daughter would not be a wife when she was with him.
"Cheng Gong, Benxiang is going to leave for Beijing in a few days, and Ah Wan naturally wants to go back with Benxiang."
Pei Shangyu saw that Cheng Wenxi was about to open his mouth to speak, but he didn't give him a chance to speak, and the second half of the sentence he said made Cheng Wenxi not know how to answer for a while.
"But the little girl has never been married......"
Cheng Wenxi's hand pinched the corner of his clothes, but Pei Shangyu laughed very lightly: "Also, let's set up a banquet in the prefect's mansion in a few days. ”
He said lightly, Cheng Yiwan didn't say a word, so that the people in Jiangdu City would know that she Cheng Yiwan married Pei Shangyu, even if she returned to Jiangdu City in the future, others would remember that she belonged to him.
"What does Ah Wan think?"
As if he felt that he was talking to himself alone, Pei Shangyu turned his head to look at her and asked, Cheng Yiwan nodded: "I listen to adults." ”
Where does she have any right to speak, doesn't she listen to him all?
Pei Shangyu was very satisfied with Cheng Yiwan's answer, and stretched out his hand and touched her head: "Ah Wan is really good." ”
After finishing speaking, he took Cheng Yi to the prefect's mansion in the carriage at night, Cheng Wenxi looked at the carriage that was far away, closed his eyes, and blamed him, he failed to protect his daughter twice.
In the carriage, Pei Shangyu stretched out his finger and pointed at his leg, and his beautiful face was full of smiles: "Ah Wan, sit here." ”
As soon as Cheng Yiwan stood up, he was pulled over and sat on his lap, he hugged her, and his fingertips lingered on her neck: "What do you want?" ”
In the past few days, Pei Shangyu has looked at her like a marionette, she will do whatever he asks her to do, she will do it, she will not resist, and she will not say superfluous words, thinking of this, he sneered: "I heard that Ah Wan also has a childhood sweetheart, brother?" ”
Hearing him mention Xu Liuchuan, Cheng Yiwan's eyes were raised, and the hand that fell on her neck gradually tightened, Pei Shangyu bit her shoulder, and the anger in his heart was about to burn him.
She faced him, without waves, but when he mentioned others, she reacted, so he Pei Shangyu did not have any weight in her heart from beginning to end, it was like this ten years ago, and it is still like this ten years later!
"How about I invite him to watch the ceremony, my sister who grew up together since childhood gets married, and I can't say it if I don't come."
Cheng Yiwan bit her lip and didn't say a word, Pei Shangyu raised her head and wiped the blood on her shoulder with her fingertips: "Guanzhou is not far from Jiangdu, don't you think that this connection can't be done." ”
No matter what Pei Shangyu said, Cheng Yiwan didn't give him another reaction, he pushed her away and shouted at Cui Guo outside to stop, and then Cheng Yiwan was driven out of the carriage by him.
The man lifted the curtain, propped one hand on the window and said: "Horses are fierce, this is natural, but this is the best horse trainer, before dark, don't forget to go home." ”
Cui Guo's gaze only glanced at Cheng Yiwan and then retracted it, adults don't like others to look at his things the most, no matter what it is.
Pei Shangyu, who was leaning on the carriage, closed his eyes, but in his shallow dream, it was the rain of arrows mixed with rain, he knelt on the ground, the little girl was crying, and he raised his hand to wipe away the tears for her.
"Don't cry, Ah Wan, I will definitely take you home."
Even in that situation, he stood in front of her regardless of his safety, but how could she leave him like this? The person who clearly said that he would accompany him for the rest of his life broke his promise first.
He opened his eyes, snapped, and the tea cup fell to the door of the carriage, Cui Guo didn't dare to say more, for fear that the adults would have nightmares again, and every time he woke up.
Cheng Yiwan's steps were small, and he didn't walk to the prefect's mansion until the end of the unitary time, waiting at the door, watching her limp, blood oozing from her embroidered shoes, and she stepped forward to support her in distress: "Girl, why are you so ruthless." ”
"Okay, don't say it, let the adults hear, you should be punished."
She knew that Piaoyu was kind, so she didn't want to hurt her, Pei Shangyu's temperament was uncertain, this kind of thing, she had expected it a long time ago.
"Slave and maid, help you in and rest."
Piao Xi walked into the house with Cheng Yiwan, and after returning to the room, she first wiped the blood stains with a clean handkerchief, looked at the shocking blood blisters, got up to ask the house doctor, and met Pei Shangyu who came at the door.
"Slave and maid, see your lord."
Pei Shangyu snorted and walked past her to the room, Cheng Yi lay on the bed at night, a pair of white and tender feet covered with blood blisters, the girl's family seemed to be extremely tired, and she fell asleep with her face against the pillow.
The sound of shallow breathing in this quiet room, like the shallow snoring of a cat, he walked lightly, and his cool hand grasped her ankle.
"Your Excellency?"
In a daze, Cheng Yiwan felt the coolness, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Pei Shangyu, and most of the fatigue disappeared at once.
She wanted to withdraw her foot, but the man held it tightly, raised his eyes and asked, "Is it strange?" ”
"Not to blame."
Cheng Yiwan only replied to him with two words, lowered her eyes and looked at the thin quilt on her body, the confinement at her ankle was a little painful, but she didn't say a word, suddenly, Pei Shangyu smiled: "It's not strange, I still don't dare." ”
"You're so afraid of me? I was so afraid that I didn't even dare to tell the truth. ”
He let go of the hand holding Cheng Yiwan and sat down in front of her: "Or do you want to let you go when I get tired of it one day?" ”
"Don't think about it, even if I die, I'll kill you first."
She listened to Pei Shangyu's words, held the quilt and looked up and asked, "Why don't you let me go, the transaction between you and me has ended that day." ”
Plucked up the courage to say this to Pei Shangyu, she seemed to be unloaded, if she wanted to leave Pei Shangyu, she was not helpless, she was afraid that the Cheng family would be hurt because of this, so she didn't dare to do it.
Cheng Yiwan has never felt that people who have lived for more than ten years are so powerless, although she had already thought that if she asked Pei Shangyu for help, she would have to pay some price that she couldn't afford.
"Why, you ask me? Oh, I'd like to ask you why. ”
Why did he promise that he would come back to save him, but there was no trace of him, why did he not remember him at all after the reunion, and why, he had never looked for him in ten years, could it be that he Pei Shangyu was a dispensable person in her heart from beginning to end, and he came and went as soon as he was called?
"What do you mean, sir?"
Her face was dazed, as if she really didn't remember, but it made Pei Shangyu's heart even more tingling, he stood up and took a deep breath: "Because people who don't keep their promises should be punished, shouldn't they?" ”
After Pei Shangyu left, Piao Xu dared to go in with the medicine, Cheng Yiwan sat on the head of the bed, crystal tears fell, looking so helpless, Piao Su wanted to help her, but she was just a maid, and she had no right to speak at all.
"Girl."
She shouted, Cheng Yiwan raised her head to wipe away her tears, and put up a smile: "I'm fine." ”。
Piao Xi didn't say anything more, and took the medicine powder to help her take the medicine, the medicinal properties of the medicine powder were very strong, but Cheng Yiwan didn't cry out for pain from beginning to end, which made Piao Xi feel even more distressed.
