And this time, in the midst of the feast, all living people heard it.

On the table, only the old lady looked casual, using a pair of silver chopsticks to light the plum blossom meat, as if she was hesitating to eat more of this half.

Sun Shining understood that this was the housework of the Hou Mansion, and the old lady was used to it.

Sure enough, everyone quickly regained their apparent calm, and the sound of the clashing of wine glasses covered everything.

Sun Shining drank half a cup of sherbet, the taste should be excellent, but I don't know why, it was sour and astringent in the throat, which made people uncomfortable, and suddenly Lu Wanyue next to her touched her with her elbow.

When she raised her head, she found that it was the old lady who was talking to her, as if she had repeated it twice, but she didn't answer, and her face was a little unhappy, Sun Shining hurriedly said: "Sister Lu said that the sherbet was delicious, I was greedy, so I only drank half a cup, but people were a little confused, and the old lady didn't blame me for being ugly." ”

"No wonder I get distracted, the sherbet is sweet and stamina, and if you don't have some alcohol, you really can't drink more." The old lady accepted her explanation, "Ruyi, go and bring a bowl of roselle tea to Miss Sun." ”

Sun Shining drank a mouthful of sweet and sour tea, almost choking, the old lady didn't plan to let her go: "Fang is asking you, where did you live before?" ”

"I live in the country with my mother."

"Listening to the accent, a mouthful of official dialect, but the words are correct and round, and I can't listen to the air, so have you ever promised to be married?"

Sun Shining was stunned, Lu Wanyue was pulling her cuffs again, and she had no choice but to use a killer move: "My father has only been dead for a few months, and I dare not mention this matter." ”

She knew that older people generally taboo these things, and the old lady was no exception, so she quickly stopped looking at her more, turned her head, and went to talk to the woman in the peach-colored brocade robe.

Lu Wanyue got up and said that it was convenient to go, Sun Shining didn't need her to hint, followed her, the two of them shuttled through the lively field, there was a maid ring leading the way, Lu Juanyue walked halfway, and scolded the maid ring to go: "I am familiar with the road here, I will go by myself, the old lady wants to call people." ”

Sun Shining realized that the air here was much better, so he quickly took two more breaths, and Lu Wanyue looked at her with a smile: "I have never attended this kind of banquet with many people before, and I will slowly get used to it." ”

No, she will never come to such a complicated place in the future, and the Protector Marquis is kind to her, so she specially rushed over.

However, Sun Shining would not say it explicitly, she lowered her head and smiled lightly, looking very gentle.

"When my cousin saw you, he didn't say a few words to you?" Lu Wanyue leaned over to look at her, "On such an occasion, you turned out to be filial piety, so you didn't apply grease and powder, but you look more delicate." ”

"Why did you pull my sleeve?"

"What do you say?" Lu Xuanyue refused to say it explicitly, and walked forward by herself, "The Hou Ye's Mansion is a big place, you still have to follow closely." ”

"Fangcai, I heard someone screaming, thinking it was an accident, why did everyone pretend not to hear?" Sun Shining knew that Lu Wanyue was a little different from her, so she dared to ask.

"Because everyone doesn't want to be nosy, so as not to get into trouble, you can rest assured, it will definitely not be an accident, and some discerning people understand what is going on." Lu Xuanyue walked a few steps, sighed lightly and said, "Do you want to hear the reason, why don't you come to my side and listen to it quickly." ”

The Marquis of the Protector has two sons and three daughters under his knees, the daughters have been married, putting aside the two sons, the two sons are indeed worlds apart, the younger son is only ten years old, he has already written a good hand, the export is a chapter, and the pen is full of flowers, even the emperor praised it himself, saying that he is a prodigy, such a name, which parent would not be the same as a baby.

However, the eldest son was nineteen years old, but he behaved like a child of four or five years old, not only that, but there was also a bad problem, epileptic seizures, foaming at the mouth, convulsions all over the body, rolling on the ground like a mad dog, it is said that the protector also found many famous doctors, but he was never cured.

Now, when he is old and has more strength, when he got sick, several old mothers couldn't hold it down, presumably the scream just now was that the eldest son was sick again.

"Master Hou is such a good person, but there is such misfortune in the family."

Before Sun Shining finished speaking, he heard Lu Wanyue laugh coldly, the meaning was self-evident, it was laughing at her that she was blind, and she made a decision without permission.

However, if it weren't for the protection of the Marquis that day, she was afraid that she would be kicked out on the spot by her stepmother Xue, and she would not even give the burden of clothes, even if he had any omissions and drawbacks.

However, Lu Wanyue is also kind enough to mention that she will not refute loudly, at this time, silence is the best way to deal with it.

"No wonder the old lady said at a glance that you have a good temperament, and sure enough." Lu Wanyue is also a generous person, "You are a friend, I have made a deal, so I will send you another good word, you must listen, whenever the old lady asks about your marriage contract, you will say that you have promised someone, even if you can't get married in another ten years, in front of her old man, you must say this." ”

Sun Shining has already understood seven or eight points, the old lady saw that her eldest grandson's illness could not be cured for a long time, and she was a little anxious, and she wanted to match him and find a granddaughter-in-law, even so, the one who wore pink was not very attentive and loved to be coquettish, why didn't she look for her?

"The girl wearing pink on the other side, it is also a coincidence, it is the aunt and cousin of the sixth prince Yinzhi, the old lady also looks at the identity and background of the person, some of them are stained with the royal relatives and relatives, she understands that people are unwilling, and she can't force it, so she gave up early."

And she is an orphan daughter with no father and mother, living under the same roof with her stepmother, if someone comes to propose, Xue can't wait to see her off with both hands, where will it be said whether the two are a good match.

"So, by going out for a walk, I'll tell you this, lest someone dig a hole and you'll jump down." Lu Wanyue raised her hand and smiled with the corners of her mouth covered.

It was the first time that Sun Shining had heard someone say that she was dumbfounded, in Xue's eyes, she didn't know how shrewd she was, but when she heard the four words in her ears, she was a little close and playful, and she wouldn't mind at all.

"Help, help, let me go, please let me go!" The woman's miserable screams, from far to near, the figure stumbled, running desperately all the way, as if seeing the two of them, that is, seeing the savior, raised her voice more and more, "Wait a minute, save me, save me!" ”

Sun Shining's eyes were excellent, seeing that the woman was disheveled, her outer clothes had long since gone, and her pure white middle clothes were bloodstained, looking scary, she was about to go to greet her, Lu Wanyue pulled her and glared at her with her eyes: "If I just said it, you should be a deaf ear." ”

She walked fast, pulling Sun Shining to walk faster.

"The woman was calling for help."

"Assume you didn't hear it."

"Wouldn't that be a death without help?"

"She's not going to die, I promise." Lu Wanyue's hands were very strong, Sun Shining couldn't shake off her control, and she could only follow her and run away under her feet.

"Don't go, please, don't go." The shouts turned into whimpering, especially pitiful, as if the people who were already desperate and wounded could catch up with them.

"No, I can't sit idly by." Sun Shining rejected Lu Wanyue's kindness, "If you don't see it with your eyes and hear it with your ears, then you can still deceive yourself, since you bumped into it, I really have a disturbed conscience." ”

Lu Xuanyue let go of her hand, Sun Shining quickly said thank you, turned around and ran back, the woman had already fallen to the ground, crying bitterly, she walked in front of her and said softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll take you out and give me your hand." ”

The woman raised her head, with tears on her face, Sun Shining looked carefully, the blood stains all over her body were scratches on the surface, there were no fatal wounds, she saw the other party looking at herself blankly, thinking that she was too frightened to move.

She simply squatted down and looked at her at eye level: "You just called for help, I heard it, don't be afraid, there are a lot of people in front, let's go over together, there will be no more danger." ”

The voice is soft and very calming.

The woman trembled, but reached over and took her hand.

Lu Xuanyue watched this scene from afar, shook her head, turned around and left, her steps were very hurried.

"It's okay, it's okay." Sun Shining stroked the other party's back with his other hand and hugged her loosely, "Can you still stand up on your feet?" ”

The other man nodded.

"So. I'll hold you and go out together, okay? ”

Sun Shining wanted to hold the person up from the ground, and her arm was forced, but she didn't succeed, she was a little surprised, she obviously spent a lot of effort, how could she not pull it, and she was not a powerless Miss Jiao.

In that case, her hand was clenched tighter and tighter by the other party, and it was like a shackle, binding her.

"Who the hell are you and what do you want to do!" Sun Shining only paid attention to the other party's appearance, and always felt that something was wrong, and when the other party stood up effortlessly, she understood the difference in height, the person was a head taller than her, and although the face was delicate, the bones were not small.

And the hand that controlled her movements, the joints were not as slender as her own, but dry and powerful palms.

"You're not a woman, you're a man!" Sun Shining wanted to retreat uncontrollably, but she couldn't retreat at all, the strength of that person's hand was too strong, she could hear the creaking of her own bones, "You let go of me, let go of me!" ”

"You said you wanted to save me, why should I let you go?" The man laughed, although his voice was not as feminine as Fang Cai, it was still clear and pleasant, and there was no distinction between male and female, "Since you said that you want to save people, of course you have to save them to the end." ”

"I can't save you." Sun Shining gritted her teeth and said, obviously Lu Wanyue had already taken her to leave this place, but she wanted to be a good person and refused to leave.

Now that a good person is in trouble, who will come to her rescue?

The other party's arm twisted inward, turned Sun Shining around, and then strangled her neck: "Do you want to escape?" ”

Sun Shining only felt that this person was too brute force, and he was decisive in his methods, so he didn't give her a chance to escape at all, her arms gradually tightened, her eyes were black, and she was about to lose her breath.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, no one will come to your rescue." The man actually put it next to her earlobe, said this with a smile, and poked out the tip of his tongue to lick a small bite, "It's really fragrant, and it makes people appetite when it smells." ”

Sun Shining didn't come back in one breath and completely lost consciousness.
