Chapter Twenty-Eight: Night Visits
Sun Shining thought it was Erniang who came to find fault, but unexpectedly, Xue's cry came immediately, she called Holly to see what was going on, Holly replied in a panic: "It was the second lady who grabbed the second girl and beat her in the yard, the second girl didn't dare to fight back, she had already slapped her hand a few times, and the little boy was shocked and cried nonstop." ”
Afraid that it was the matter of Shiying and Xiao Lou, the incident in the east window, and she was willing to give up until she came to her, she held on to the edge of the bed and sat up slowly: "You help me go over and take a look." ”
"Girl, you didn't interfere in this matter, the second lady won't really kill her own daughter, if you go out, a basin of dirty water that doesn't discipline your younger siblings well can splash your head and face and choke people to death." Amber was very calm and said slowly, "The second lady made such a big move, just to provoke you. ”
Sun Shining felt that this was reasonable, and chose not to move, and sure enough, she scolded for another quarter of an hour, her voice gradually became quieter, and finally calmed down, she looked out through the window, and Holly drugged her calves: "Who is the girl suffering for, the second girl will not take it to heart at all, she has suffered many times, and the girl is still soft-hearted." ”
When Amber came in with a porridge and side dishes, she asked, "Girl, I just met the second lady, she asked the old man who raised flowers who would pay for the salary, and asked what the price of these words was, and could they be taken out and resold?" ”
Sun Shining suddenly couldn't swallow, but the corners of his mouth flashed with a sneer: "You tell her that if she has a way to sell it, I don't mind." ”
"That Uncle Chen may fight for his life with the second lady!" Amber knew she had made up her mind, and felt a little relieved.
"With such a quality of peony, ordinary people should know that they can't get started even if they have some money." Sun Shining took a sip of porridge, "If there is really someone who doesn't have long eyes, follow her to gather like things and suffer a little hardship." ”
Can't wait for two days, Uncle Chen panicked back and forth, saying that the peony flowers were missing four pots, and they were all after he returned to the flower garden, Sun Shining pretended not to understand anything, and asked him what to do, and heard a soft sound outside the window, if it was really a wall with ears, Chen Bo said angrily: "If the girl refused these flowers, I have nothing to say to the Shaodong family, but since the girl has accepted it, and someone else steals it out, I will report to the official, the girl can rest assured, I will immediately go back to the flower garden to inform the Shaodong family of this matter, the peonies of the Lu family are all marked, It can't be hidden. ”
"Wait half a day." Sun Shining said softly.
Uncle Chen didn't react for a while: "What does the girl mean?" ”
"In case someone takes it for a while, it's better to wait for half a day."
"That's okay, you must know that these peonies are all royal tributes, and if you can't show evidence, it is a big crime to hide them at home."
Sun Shining heard Uncle Chen's anger, told the truth, and asked softly: "If I accept these, is it considered a private possession?" ”
"Of course not, the sixth prince wrote an edict in the hands of the young owner, explaining that he gave it to the eldest girl of the Sun family, no matter how fair and honest it is."
She got a clear answer, and the eavesdroppers who wanted to come outside the window were also frightened, she smiled slightly, and asked Uncle Chen to retreat first.
It didn't take half a day, only an hour later, and Uncle Chen went back and forth: "Big girl, the second lady of the house sent the four pots of peonies back untouched, saying that when she passed by, she thought it was really good-looking, and couldn't help but move to her yard, depicting patterns, and being able to sew new shoes for the two girls in the spring of the next year, fortunately, I didn't report to the official recklessly, otherwise there would be a joke." ”
She praised Uncle Chen a few words, but she didn't break it, and when Uncle Chen retreated, Holly and Amber laughed together: "This time the second lady suffered a dumb loss, she should know that the girl doesn't have to be ordinary, and she has to be restrained." ”
Liu Lulin knew that her legs and feet were inconvenient, and personally sent all the accounts for this month, which were clearly organized and clear, not like a while ago, Sun Shining knew that the person sent by the Marquis of the Protector was indeed a master, and he didn't know where he picked up the good luck, so he could sit and enjoy it without a penny.
This night, her legs were numb and itchy, she was about to get better, she heard a few soft sounds outside the window, at first she thought it was wind, suddenly a spiritual light, someone outside the window was calling her to welcome guests, she quickly got up in her clothes, and opened a corner of the window, Shen Nianyi stood in the night breeze, her clothes fluttering, like an immortal, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, why did he come here?
"I don't have to open the window, I just want someone to talk to." Shen Nianyi stood still outside the window, closed the window with one hand, and received the gift, "If you sleep, I can't disturb you." ”
"I, I'd like to hear it." Yuehua turned his tall figure into a shadow and left it on the window paper, Sun Shining looked at it a few more times greedily, and he didn't dare to stare at him on weekdays, but he would make up for it now.
"Six have been found." Shen Nianyi said thoughtlessly.
But she understood, and she had a relation, that is, six young women had died in vain: "Is there no clue? ”
"No, there is nothing in common between the seven people, the only thing that is the same is that they are all twenty or eight years old, just at a good age." Shen Nianyi's palm pressed against the window, as if he was pressing his forehead against it, "Each one was hit in the back of the head with a blunt object and died, and then the corpse was discarded at will, and the family members who came to recognize the corpse cried and wailed in front of the door of Dali Temple, which made people want to go around." ”
"How can I help?" Sun Shining blurted out, and immediately laughed bitterly, even Lord Shaoqing was embarrassed by the case, it was already good that she didn't add to the chaos, and she actually wanted to ask for credit on a whim.
"There's always something special, Don Jr. said, since the deceased are all women, there will always be something in common." Shen Nianyi said in a low voice, "I'm thinking about it, maybe I'll take you to see it, and there will be some clues." ”
"Okay, I'll go." Sun Shining didn't hesitate at all, even if she could help one ten-thousandth, she could be satisfied.
"But I don't want you to go." He also had such hesitation, "The death of those dead is really ugly, and some of my colleagues in Dali Temple have said that they have been having nightmares recently, and I am afraid that you will be frightened after seeing it." ”
"How did Lord Shen forget, I am a person who has been on death row, there are people who live or die, I have seen a lot, I am not as brave as before, I will never be scared by dead people, Lord Shen don't have to worry about me." She half sat up, followed his example, put her forehead against the window lattice, and her voice was very soft, "Moreover, I believe that Lord Shen will accompany me to the battle, with you pressing the formation, the ghosts will not dare to make trouble, I am not afraid." ”
"Can you get there immediately?" Shen Nianyi's voice was obviously not as heavy as before.
"Yes, but ......"
"Do you regret it?"
"No, I sprained my calf two days ago, I'm afraid I can't walk on the ground, and I can't follow the adults back to Dali Temple."
"Get up and get dressed, I have a solution." As soon as Shen Nianyi left the window, his shadow was stretched far away, and it returned to an untouchable distance.
She looked at the shadow quietly for a moment, and soon according to his instructions, put on her outer dress and tied a thick cloak, there was no one in front of the window, and when she blinked again, Shen Nianyi stood in the middle of the room, standing in front of her, his footsteps were light and inaudible, and even Holly, who was sleeping in the side room, did not even notice it.
He looked her up and down: "It's windy outside." ”
"The white fox cloak is in the cabinet over there." When the words fell, he had found it out with his hands and feet, his hands went around behind her, wrapped her, and for a moment, Sun Shining thought that his whole person was in his arms, and he gently circled her, with an ambiguous and heartwarming posture.
Next, Shen Nianyi wrapped her tightly and hugged her, she had thought that he would do this, this is the most direct and simple, she is just a little sorry, she can't hear his heartbeat, I don't know if he is the same as herself, a little throbbing.
He walked very fast, with a few ups and downs, he had already walked out of the courtyard gate of the Sun Mansion, crossed the wall, and happened to sit on the back of the horse that was riding: "Will the horse ride shock the wound?" ”
"It's okay." She didn't dare to say too much, for fear that her voice would tremble and reveal her emotions.
"That's good, I'll take you to Dali Temple." Shen Nian rode his horse, still calm.
When he arrived at Dali Temple, he continued to carry her and dismount, the lights were bright here, she snorted, hid her whole face in the white fox skin, and didn't dare to look at people at all.
"They're not going to talk too much." Shen Nian's simple sentence can be regarded as an explanation for her.
Even if everyone else closed their eyes and didn't open their mouths, she still felt ashamed and unbearable, this emotion could not be expressed in words, she could not say that she was not married, this was a little out of line, some transgression, she couldn't speak.
"Miss Sun brought it, Xiao Tang, what do you say you should do next?" Shen Nianyi put the person down, "Qiu Cheng went to find a chair that could facilitate her movement, and her foot was twisted." ”
Sun Shining wiped off the white fox cloak, only to find that a room full of acquaintances, Tang Churou stood there, quietly like an ignorant sister: "Your foot must be considered injured in the line of duty." ”
"No, I got it at home." She hurriedly wanted to explain, but saw that there was a hint of looseness in the other party's cold expression, and she deliberately said such a thing, so that she would not be so nervous when she came late at night.
Qiu Cheng thoughtfully found a large chair with armrests: "Miss Sun sits on it, and one person on each side can carry it and walk around." ”
Sun Shining still didn't understand, since they were all here, why did a layman like her come to join in the fun, Shen Nian said in a deep voice: "Without further ado, take her over." ”
Sun Shining took a deep breath, wanting to give herself more courage, Tang Churou had already walked behind her: "When you carry it, be careful, don't scare her." A pair of plain hands, pressed on the back of the chair, "I thought it would be better to press on the shoulder, but think that my hands are probably more palpitating than the corpse, or the back of the chair." ”
The light in front of him turned into a kind of miserable green light, and although Sun Shining was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw so many dead people at the same time for the first time.
