Ten fingers interlocked.

Then she felt herself encircled, and a soft voice rang in her ears.

"What are the ladies going to do?"

CHAPTER XX

Between them, there are few such intimate names.

She was stunned for a moment, leaned her head on his chest, and said softly: "Actually, I haven't thought about it, but maybe I will think about it tomorrow." If you can't think about tomorrow, then think about tomorrow tomorrow...... One day, I'll figure it out. ”

Xie Yuwan didn't say anything more, just hugged the person in his arms tighter.

It was early in the morning, but it was still quiet in the courtyard. Unconsciously, Jiang Wu closed her eyes and slowly sank into a dream. Everything that happened in her childhood was projected in her eyes, and she stood in place, looking at the small courtyard of Jiang Mansion.

Narrow doors, low courtyards, faded tiles.

The aunt who is sick in bed, a thin and young girl.

It seemed like half her life.

In the blink of an eye, it was the white silk hanging down in the familiar room. She tried to walk in, but she seemed to be able to smell the blood on it, and her hand trembled to touch it.

was pulled by the people behind him.

It was a pair of hands, not warm.

The slender and bony hands covered her eyes.

Bai Aya suddenly disappeared in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, and then fell into a warm embrace. The other hands, caressing her head, pressed her into his arms.

She didn't struggle, just turned sideways and took one last look at the white silk.

The bright red blood stains seemed to congratulate, from thick to dark, as if to be embedded in the trajectory of her life. But even so, she still didn't look back, just let the owner of the not so warm hand lead her away.

She couldn't describe the feeling, she couldn't even call it relief.

It can only be a kind of trying to let go.

She just wanted to see the snow in Jiangnan.

*

The next day.

Tangerine Candy knocked on the door of the study with a letter in his hand.

It was Jiang Wu who opened the door.

The new emperor has only been on the throne for a few years, and the affairs in the palace are busy. Therefore, this morning, although he said no, she still sent him to the palace in person.

As for Tangerine Candy, she hadn't seen Tangerine Candy since that day.

This is the first time in these two days.

Tangerine Candy is no different from usual, but when he looks at the letter in his hand, his mouth purses.

When she took the letter, she held Tangtang's hand and said softly, "I am the one who embarrassed you, and you don't need to listen to me next time you do something like this." ”

Tangerine's originally calm eyes suddenly turned red because of this sentence.

She turned her head and said softly, "What nonsense is the lady talking about." That day was my dereliction of duty, if I didn't fly the kite, everything would not have happened, what does this have to do with the lady. What's more, I am a maid of a lady, and if I don't listen to my mother, who am I going to listen to. ”

In the distance in the trees, the cicada had a dead face, and it changed and changed, becoming another dead face.

Jiang Wu touched her head and said in a soft voice: "Listen to yourself, Tangerine Candy has also reached the age of marriage, but there is a favorite Xiaolangjun." The Prime Minister's Mansion has not been lively for a long time, if Tangerine Candy marries, I must be a beautiful and beautiful person to send Tangtang Candy to marry. ”

Tangerine's eyes were red: "The lady wants to drive me away?" ”

Jiang Wu didn't speak again, just looked at her with a gentle light.

Tangerine Candy's tears fell suddenly: "Lady, don't drive me away, let me stay with you, okay." The lady said to her son, I am obedient, and I am obedient. I'm never going to fly a kite anymore, no one flies a kite in the fall. Lady, you talk to my son for me. ”

Jiang Wu's eyes deepened for a moment: "Tangerine Candy, isn't it good to get married?" ”

Tangtang shook his head hurriedly, and a tear fell onto Jiang Yu's white hand.

"I just want to be by my mother's side, lady, Xiaochun has been sent out by you and left me by your side. Let Tangerine Candy accompany you, okay? The lady said to the son, let the son send another big girl over. ”

Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment and pressed her head: "But Tangerine, by my side, you are not free." You like to fly kites in autumn and enjoy flowers outside the city in winter, and these are far away from me. You need to protect me, you need to choose, you need to be silent. However, Tangerine Candy, in this way, after a long time, you will not be happy. ”

"Is that what Childe said?" Tangerine Candy was dumbfounded by these words, and finally choked up.

Jiang Wu shook her head, her eyes resting on the purple whip marks on her wrists. She seemed to cover it up on purpose, but she moved a little bigger, and she accidentally revealed it.

My heart hurt for a moment, but I was helpless, so I could only pretend that I didn't see it.

After sending off her husband today, for the first time, she summoned the secret guard who had been by her side-Han Cicada.

She didn't ask anything else, she just asked, "What about the orange candy?" ”

The young man's voice was cold, like December ice.

"Punished in Sitang."

She clasped her hand at her wrist tightly: "Why was he punished?" ”

"Because on that day, the lady was clashed, and it was her fault. If the Dark Guard makes a mistake, he will be punished, this is the rule. After speaking, the cicada glanced vaguely behind him.

This is the first time she knows, it turns out, Tangerine Candy is the secret guard.

She couldn't think about why Tangerine Candy, who grew up with Xie Yuwan, became a secret guard. I only know that if Tangtang is a secret guard and stays by her side, there will be more punishments than ordinary maids.

Then she wouldn't be able to keep Tangerine with her.

She looked at Tangtang Candy in front of her, took out a deed of sale from her arms, and gently put the paper into Tangerine Candy's hand. She looked at her quietly, gently touching her hair.

"It's not what my husband meant, it's what I mean, since my husband gave me orange candy, then orange candy is my maid. I want to send Tangtang to get married, I want Tangtang to see the snow in the south of the Yangtze River, to see the sand in Mobei, and I want no one to punish my Tangtang anymore. ”

Tangtang was stunned and subconsciously covered his hand.

The piece of paper, hot at her fingertips.

She suddenly understood what the lady meant.

It was precisely because she understood that her eyes were red and she couldn't say a word. She didn't understand how the lady knew, and how she found such a way, just to give her back a freedom that didn't exist.

Back then, when she was a child, she was sent to her son.

At that time, the Xie family was not dilapidated, and the family was exiled. She grew up with her son, and she had a very strong relationship. Originally, in the Gaomen family, the love between master and servant was deep, and it was also a good story. However, the good times did not last long, Lord Xie was slandered and corrupted, the Xie family was exiled, and Gongzi began to be strictly controlled by the elders.

They couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake on the part of Gongzi, so when she was molested in the academy, Gongzi took action to stop her, so she offended the people who were molesting her, and the elders of the Xie family took her away from Gongzi.

They threw her into the Dark Guard Camp along with the young Cicada at the time.

She was protected by the cicada and walked out of the sea of swords and fire. At that time, the elders were finally no longer able to control the affairs of the son.

She returned to Childe.

But she has sworn and taken the medicine, and she will no longer be the orange candy she used to be. It wasn't until later, when she was sent to the lady by the child, that the elders' control over her stopped. But even so, one day into the dark guard camp, she was subject to this for the rest of her life. The lady wants to borrow her hand to let her escape from this cage completely.

She was shaking with tears, but she kept shaking her head.

"Lady, don't want Tangerine Candy, don't, let Tangerine Candy stay with you. As long as you don't make mistakes in the future, Tangerine Candy can go unpunished, it doesn't hurt, it's just a rule, the person who hit me is a chilling cicada, he hit it very lightly, and the wound just looks more serious, but it doesn't hurt in fact. ”

When she was in the Secret Guard Camp, she wanted to escape at every moment.

But every day there are people who are dragged back and executed for fleeing, and she is afraid of death, but she still wants to escape. When she finally decided to flee, the chilling cicada, who had been silent and only killed, grabbed her: "Don't go, you will die." ”

At that time, there were people dying around her every day, and she no longer knew what death was. Therefore, the moment he was grabbed by the young man, he just shook off his hand: "Death, you will die, I don't want to, I don't want to die here." ”

The young man took her hand a little heavier, and then whispered to her, "You won't die, I'll take you out." ”

Later, the chilling cicada really brought her out.

There was countless blood on his hands, but his eyebrows and eyes were extremely cold.

She thought she was finally free. But she was sent to Childe again, and Childe didn't ask, maybe those elders had already told him, or maybe Childe didn't care too much.

The dark guard camp came to Childe a year after Childe and Lady got married, and he looked at the list and didn't say anything. After that, she went to the lady's side.

The lady is a very nice person.

Soft, like water. It's just that the lady doesn't seem to have any happy things on weekdays. She eats about the same amount of food every day, and even when she is sick, she will use the amount she usually uses.

She felt very sorry for the lady.

Because, from the first time she saw the lady in the house, she knew that the lady was not free.

In Jiang's mansion, there is still light in the eyes of the lady.

The lady also secretly told her that when she got married in the future, she would take her aunt to Jiangnan. said that my aunt likes Jiangnan, she should, and she likes it very much. It's only been two months, it's only been one month......

But when she returned to Jiang's Mansion with her son, she heard the news of her aunt's death.

Her first feeling was, how should her lady live.

The next time I saw the lady was at the dinner party that day. The lady was dressed in plain white clothes, and under the pampering of others, she toasted a glass of wine to her son.

Childe did not refuse.

Afterward...... The lady became the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Rumors spread and rumors spread everywhere, but she knew that the lady was not that kind of person. When she met her again, she was dressed in beautiful clothes and rich jewelry, but she was cramped and frightened, like a bird trapped in a golden cage and watched.

Not free like her.

She thought then that if she got to the lady, she would not leave again.

Because the lady, it seems, is even more lonely than her.

When Childe handed her the deed of sale, saying that she would be a lady from now on, her heart was quiet for a moment. She really came to the lady's side, and she was more sad and soft than she had thought before.

The scales in her heart began to tilt.

She began to want her mother to be happy, and began to disregard her son's wishes. For this matter, Childe has also been turning a blind eye until this time-

The lady was almost injured.

The cicada came to look for her, but she went to receive the punishment herself.

She just thought that in this way, Childe could still let her stay with the lady. Xiaochun is gone, and without her anymore, what should the lady do.
