But she waited and waited, and it was not Xiao Yichen who was waiting, but Chen Fangyan.
Feng Yue muttered, "Didn't I just take in a thin horse that day? What are you doing here? Do you think that our sister is blind? Or do you think that our sister is in trouble?"
Fang Guan glanced at the anger on Feng Yue's face, then turned to Shen Nanbao and bowed his knee, "How about I reject him?"
Unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fangyan came to the door and looked at her with a splendid look on his shoulders, "I kindly came to visit the fifth girl, how could the fifth girl turn me away?"
It was probably because he was worried about other things, so the heart that used to panic when he saw him was now like a pool of stagnant water, and he was not interested in the slightest. He even raised his eyes a little, and pretended to smile at the corner of his mouth, "I Very good, Mr. Chen will leave after seeing it."
She ordered her to be kicked out mercilessly, but Chen Fangyan didn't move in the slightest. He just walked in with his robe in hand, took a seat opposite her, and looked at her intently across the Kang table, "Put this aside, I actually wanted to be with you when I came here. Tell me about Peng..."
He paused, trying to think of what she could say in reply, but no, she didn't even raise her eyes and just sat there.
Chen Fangyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Not long ago, the founding Earl's Mansion sued Miss Shen, saying that Miss Shen had persecuted his legitimate son and had to pay for it with blood. Therefore, this matter was brought to the attention of the officials, and Peng was dragged out one after another. When they heard about the activities of the Peng family, the officials were furious and directly ordered the Peng family to be quartered. Even Peng Zhong's accomplice was demoted and made a doctor of Guozi. As for Miss Shen... the officials originally She was going to be demoted to a commoner, but no matter what, the Privy Council asked for pardon. The reason was for no other reason than that Miss Shen was pregnant and officials respected virtue and could not commit murderous crimes, so they were extra merciful and allowed Shen Da. The girl became Uncle Xie’s concubine.”
He poured the beans into the bamboo tube and finished speaking without leaving any beans behind, but this did not prevent Shen Nanbao from tasting the strange things.
"Privy Council? Isn't Shen Nanyi detained in... the Palace Front Office? How come the Privy Council knows the twists and turns involved, and even Shen Nanyi's body is still so clear about it?"
Seeing that she could speak, Chen Fangyan breathed a sigh of relief, and his stern expression softened, and he was willing to smile a little, "You forgot that Miss Shen Er has a family that she has been married to, and the husband of that aunt is the Privy Councilor." All the Privy Council members agreed."
Shen Nanbao remembered his hurried encounter with the long-term follower in Asmen, and smiled knowingly, "Isn't he afraid of picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon, so he brought the two girls in together?"
As she said this, she couldn't help but turn her eyes, and looked directly into Chen Fangyan's staring eyes. She was suddenly aroused, and later realized what she was doing.
She actually talked to Chen Fangyan face to face!
Sitting face to face with Chen Fangyan, who had poisoned him so much in his previous life!
Shen Nanbao retracted his eyes, moved his hands on the kang table to his knees, and sat in a very resistive posture, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for informing me, but my father is in the midst of a storm right now, and I, as a son, have nothing to do." I can only help you with my heart, hope, and hope that my father can get through this sadness safely and safely, so I hope Mr. Chen will understand my inadequacies in my efforts."
When she said this, the skylight filtered in from the bottom of the partially closed window, which just illuminated the dodgey light in her eyes.
Chen Fangyan looked at it and raised his eyebrows for a moment, "Don't you already know that Shen Shi is not your father? Do you still care about him?"
She knew that she could not escape his eyes, but she still had to hold her neck and argue, "Whether it is true or not, it is none of Mr. Chen's business."
She has always been like this, no matter in the past life or in this life, she can make him unhappy with just a few words.
But in his previous life, he could argue with her confidently, but in this life he couldn't...
The hands on his knees instantly tightened, but they seemed to be clasped around his neck, suffocating his breathing, so it was so difficult for him to open his mouth.
Chen Fangyan swallowed, "Since I saw it, it's naturally none of my business."
He wanted to talk to her calmly.
I also want to give her some good words.
But for some reason, my mind flashed back to what Xiao Yichen said to her under the bright lights on the Qiqiao Festival, "I'm not afraid, it would be better if it provoked a dissatisfaction. Then I would come to visit, and I would carry a big sedan chair." Marry you into the county prince's palace, and then I'll see who dares to say anything!"
He was behind him at the time, and he saw it clearly, and saw the hidden love in Xiao Yichen's eyes.
Of course, there was also the indescribable nostalgia when she stared at Xiao Yichen.
Lu Kui came up at the right time and poured him a cup of tea.
The white jade cup pours into the clear yellow tea soup, and the lonely tea stems float in it, like a drifting boat, possessing all the poetic and picturesque qualities that can be praised.
But Chen Fangyan didn't bother to appreciate it. The moment Lu Kui pushed it over, he took a sip from the cup. The tea was strong, and the vine on the tongue was full of bitterness, which made his throat feel astringent.
"Or is it because of something else, Miss Fifth?"
There was a snort of laughter at the end, cold and full of ridicule, which made Shen Nanbao angry, "Since Mr. Chen knows, why bother asking?"
She was angry, and so was he. The fists on his knees even clenched loudly, but he did not let go. His face turned red for a while, and then he sighed loudly, "I don't want to see you like this."
The voice was mixed with boundless loneliness, which did not calm down Shen Nanbao at all. He even stood up majestically, walked behind the curtain and turned his back to him, "Master Chen, since you don't want to see me, please come back quickly, so as not to bother me." In front of you, it will prick your eyes."
Chen Fangyan was so angry at what she said that he stood up, and the piercing white skylight was blocked behind him. The room that was still transparent just now was filled with clouds and mist, and it became dark for a moment. He asked: "You don't want to see me?" , or don’t want to face the facts?”
Shen Nanbao lowered his eyes, with a huge sadness on his brows, "What you said is not true. I don't believe you. I only believe in him. He told me to wait for him to come back, and I am waiting."
I can’t tell you what it feels like.
He felt as if someone had punched him in the chest, and his breathing was stopped. Chen Fangyan couldn't help but frowned, "Wait?"
Shen Nanbao heard the short laugh that shook his chest, "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for him to take the official order and invite you into the Xiao Mansion to be the second girl?"
Chen Fangyan said in a sonorous tone, "Don't try to prevaricate me by saying "believe it or not". It's not that you don't believe me or him, you just don't want to believe it. If you believe the facts before you, you are Xiao Bi and Gu... "
He choked and stopped talking for a moment.
Not for anything else, just because the eyes she turned around, even through the hazy light, could still clearly see the tears.
He heard her despair, "I don't believe you."
And the one who emphasized over and over again, through a layer of tears, "Even if this is the truth, I will just wait for him to tell me."
Chen Fangyan suddenly remembered his previous life. Mr. Wu in the next alley doted on his concubines and killed his wife. However, his wife Fang was still guarding her every day, waiting like a rock. But in the end, Mr. Wu did not change his mind, and in the end, all he waited for was the concubine. Slander and frame-up, and the status of a concubine.
After hearing this, she once lamented with him, "If one day you are like this, I will never wait for you like Fang waited for Master Wu."
He only thought it was funny at the time, but he still asked her smoothly, "Then what will you do?"
She suddenly looked over, Qing Lingling's eyes were full of solemnity, and she said: "I will leave, walk cleanly, and like others."
The joke at the time turned into a prophecy, but now when I think about it, I can only feel my heart pounding
Her heart suddenly felt as if it had been stung by an insect. It ached intensely. An indescribable panic spread in her chest. Chen Fangyan couldn't help but walked up and grabbed her.
But she quickly broke away.
Precisely because of this move, the sadness that was surging on her face just now disappeared with overwhelming force, and she returned to her former dignified and steady appearance.
Chen Fangyan saw her take out the brocade handkerchief and tuck it at the end of her eyes. After tucking it clean, she raised her head. The ends of her eyes were still red from crying. When she looked at her like this, she felt like she had no desire to speak, but she said His words were extremely indifferent.
"I understand what Mr. Chen is saying. I have something to do now, so I won't send Mr. Chen more."
As she said this, she opened the curtain and walked to the partition, where she gathered her robe and received blessings.
Chen Fangyan, who was following closely behind, bumped into her bowing her knees to greet her. Every trace of her lowered eyebrows was filled with irresistible alienation, and therefore those words that filled her mouth were filled with emotion. Just like an hourglass turned upside down, it passed away quickly.
He smiled miserably, "Fifth girl, I am doing this for your own good."
The hands under the armholes suddenly clenched.
For her own good?
So he went to the house to take a concubine regardless.
She still allowed her to watch him laughing and scolding other ladies, and listening to them talk about their love.
Or maybe a sip of poisonous tea would kill her.
Shen Nanbao only felt ridiculed, and couldn't help but curled his lips, raised his head, and looked at him facing the bright sun, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
After saying these words, Shen Nanbao saw that Chen Fangyan's expression suddenly darkened. Because of his sudden turn, the corners of the cloud-patterned robes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, resembling the rolling clouds above the dome.
She didn't know how she got up later, but when she came back to her senses, she was already lying on the couch, and Feng Yue was touching her forehead with her hand, her mouth opening and closing without knowing what she was saying.
She saw the official twisting a brocade handkerchief over and wiping it on her body over and over again. Then he wiped her ears and finally heard something.
It turned out that she had a fever.
No wonder her mind was so heavy and dizzy.
She raised her head dimly and looked out the window. In the vast blue sky of crab shell, the huge moon fell there like a golden basin, with a cold color and a few mottled shadows.
In a daze, she heard a call from Xiao Yichen. He was saying: "Fifth girl."
It was as if he was hugging her and whispering, "Wait until I come back."
Shen Nanbao couldn't help crying.
Fang Guan was wiping her sweat when he heard her weak cry. He hurriedly leaned in and said, "Sister, what did you say? Are you thirsty? Or do you want something?"
She said: "Xiao Yichen, how long do you want me to wait."
Fang Guan was startled, and slowly, slowly, he tightened his turban.
She suddenly remembered the clumps of flowers that had fallen into mud when the water was flowing this morning.
At that time, she only lamented that there was no way to stay in the spring, even the flowers and trees were different.
But now I can't help but think of the sentence I once read when I was serving my sister's pen and ink:
"The flowers in front of the court have faded, and after the clouds have dispersed, things have changed and people have changed."
People, just like those flowers blooming and withering, are born and can never choose their own lives.
My sister can't do it, my master can't do it, and even the emperor can't do it.
