Chapter 54: Life and Death
As soon as he pushed the door open, Lin Zhiyu found that the room was quiet, without a trace of movement.
"Xiaolian? Lin Xiaolian? ”
I called several times in a row, but I didn't hear any response.
The feeling of uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, this girl, don't do anything stupid!
Lin Zhiyu secretly prayed in his heart.
"Miss, you're back."
It was Xiaolian's voice, and she came in from the backyard with one hand behind her back.
Lin Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but soon noticed the hand she had deliberately hidden.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Lin Zhiyu looked serious, pulled the hand behind Lin Xiaolian, pulled up the sleeve, and several shocking blood marks came into view.
Lin Xiaolian unnaturally wanted to retract her hand: "It's nothing, I accidentally scratched it." ”
"Accidentally? You tell me how careless it must be to scratch my wrist? Lin Zhiyu was a little angry.
Looking at this scar, it was obviously cut by a sharp weapon, but fortunately, the wound was relatively shallow, and only a few beads of blood oozed out.
Seeing that her mind was broken, Lin Xiaolian's face was a little embarrassed: "Miss, I feel that I have no face to live in this world, but at that moment, I can't do it, isn't it ridiculous?" ”
Lin Zhiyu pulled Xiaolian to the house, found the medicine box and bandaged her carefully: "Xiaolian, do you know that life is always more courageous than death. ”
Just like when I was in the cold palace, I once thought about it for a hundred, but at that time, there was a little palace maid who brought her food and lowered her head and said such a thing to her.
She thought it was Zhou Tingchen who passed her words, so she survived with the only remaining trace of faith.
It's just that she didn't expect Lin Minghua to set a fire herself, and she didn't wait for her light after all.
"Xiaolian, I've taken care of everything, no one will know what happened today."
In this era, women value their reputation the most, and if they don't do this, I'm afraid that the world's prejudiced saliva will send Xiaolian to the point of no return.
"Miss, did you promise Jiang Zhaoyi something?" Lin Xiaolian grabbed Lin Zhiyu's arm and said eagerly.
Lin Zhiyu said lightly: "Not really, it's just that I owe her a favor." ”
"It's not worth it for Miss to do this for me." Lin Xiaolian lowered her head, and her voice was also muffled, "Miss herself said that Jiang Zhaoyi has a deep mind and can't have a deep friendship with her." ”
"Since I've already done this, if you still want to die, then you really can't live with me." Lin Zhiyu touched the top of Lin Xiaolian's hair, "As long as you can cross the hurdle in your heart, nothing can stop you from regaining your life." ”
"Regain ...... Freshman? ”
Lin Xiaolian's whole body trembled slightly, and touched the wound on her wrist that had just been bandaged.
She got up again, the expression on her face was no longer as confused as Fang Cai, but became firm, as if she had made some kind of determination, and knelt down to Lin Zhiyu: "Miss has already saved me twice, and this life will be Miss from now on." ”
She kowtowed to Lin Zhiyu two or three times again.
Lin Zhiyu was about to reach out to pull her, but Lin Xiaolian was very persistent, and it wasn't until the third knock was finished that she stood up with Lin Zhiyu's strength.
She didn't want to say anything more, if this could give Lin Xiaolian the belief to survive, it would be a good way.
The desperation lies in the fact that everyone present knows that Lin Xiaolian was framed, but there is no evidence to prove her innocence.
Everyone was clamoring for her to die, as if that would be the way to blame her for the fault, and the matter would be easily revealed.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in Lin Zhiyu's mind.
Is this what you call a bet?
Her gentle gaze cooled a little.
Soon Qiaoxiu brought the imperial doctor over to check Lin Xiaolian's body.
Lin Zhiyu wanted to go to Liu'er and ask about yesterday's events clearly, but Xiaolian experienced this experience and became sensitive and thoughtful, worried that she would suddenly not be able to think about it, so she had to accompany her.
At this time, Zhuang Younan was leaning against the window, looking at the direction of Lin Zhiyu's wing, his eyes were heavy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Niangniang, that recipe has been handed over to Liu'er."
Bao'er pushed the door in and whispered.
Zhuang Younan held a red tassel in his hand, and seemed to be immersed in his own world.
"Mother, mother?" Seeing that Zhuang Younan hadn't replied for a long time, Bao'er took two steps forward, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
Only then did Zhuang Younan pull back his thoughts and looked down at the tassel in his hand: "Tell me, how did Lin Zhiyu do it?" ”
Bao'er told everything that happened in Jiang Tong's wonderful room.
"I heard from others that the eldest girl seemed to have really been ghosted, and pulled Jiang Tongmiao into the inner room."
Zhuang Younan fell into contemplation again.
So that's the solution?
Yes, yes, I have adhered to etiquette before, and I have never thought in this direction.
It's just that the price to pay for doing so is also extremely high, she is not alone, and there is a Zhuang Xiao, who can't let her go.
"Bao'er, what do you think, Lin Zhiyu is this person?"
After a moment of silence, Zhuang Younan asked slowly.
Although Bao'er didn't know why Zhuang Younan suddenly asked like this, she still answered truthfully: "The eldest girl is smart and calm, and she often wins with ingenuity. ”
"How does it compare to Hongu?"
Bao'er hesitated for a moment: "It can be compared with Niangniang." ”
Hearing this answer, Zhuang Younan suddenly laughed out loud, his appearance was crazy, far from her gentle appearance, which made people shudder.
"Yes, yes! In that case, I was relieved. ”
She held the tassel tightly in her hand, smiled and smiled, and bent down, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
"Niangniang, the eldest girl has been pointed out to the third prince, if it is...... It's really inappropriate. ”
Boa was a little uneasy.
At that time, almost all the men in the General's Mansion died in the Tianma Incident, and the General's wife lost her son and husband at once, and she followed with extreme sadness, and the once prominent General's Mansion also declined.
Zhuang Younan, as an only daughter, was forced to hold up the hope of the whole house, and Bao'er, as a personal maidservant, had seen her sitting in front of the window many times in the middle of the night, her eyes blank, and tears falling like pearls with broken threads.
"Wrong? Men are unmarried and women are not married, what's wrong? Zhuang Younan raised his head sharply and looked straight into Shang Bao'er's eyes, "As long as you haven't worshiped heaven and earth, who cares if you have ever married?" ”
After she finished speaking, she covered her face again and cried in a low voice: "Xiao'er is a hard-working child, this is the best way!" ”
Bao'er was accustomed to it, helped Zhuang Younan up, let her lean on herself, and walked towards the bed.
"Niangniang, you rest here first, and the slave will bring you the medicine."
At this time, Zhuang Younan was like a child, pulling Bao'er's sleeve: "What about my father?" When will he come back? ”
Bao'er sighed: "Niangniang, the general will not come back." ”
She pulled her sleeve away from Zhuang Younan's hand, and Quan Dang didn't hear Zhuang Younan crying behind her, and walked out of the door without looking back.
Mother, if this makes you a little more comfortable, then cry as much as you want.
Bao'er leaned against the door and exhaled deeply, her eyes already slightly reddened.
