"Okay, Master."
Hearing what Liu Yuan said, Zhang Shan didn't think too much and tidied up the room. Looking at the snow falling outside the window, he said, "Master, we received a letter from my wife a few days ago. They are probably like this It will arrive in the capital in a few days, and it might be a few days later if it snows."
The Liu family also has relatives in the capital. This time Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu are coming to the capital to visit relatives. Liu Yuan just came here before them and took care of the shops in the capital.
Mr. Liu and the others could have set off a month ago. Because the waterway was frozen, they chose to take the land route, which took more time. It would take two months to arrive. If there was wind and snow, it might be another month later.
"Look at Song Xiao."
Liu Yuan looked at the wind and snow outside the window and ordered coldly.
"I understand, Master!"
Zhang Shan understood immediately.
When things turned out like this, Song Xiao should have known that Liu Yuan could not tolerate her. If he did not attack her now, it did not mean that he would not attack her in the future. After Mrs. Liu came over, it would be her biggest opportunity to resist.
If she had pretended to be pitiful, Mrs. Liu might have helped her.
After Zhang Shan left, there was only a dim candle left in the room. Liu Yuan was lying on the bed, still feeling dizzy. Thinking of what Song Xiao had done, his face darkened. It seemed that he had really underestimated this woman. She was indeed the woman chosen by his own mother, even the methods were so similar.
Song Xiao had just pushed the maid beside him out, and had no intention of letting the maid come back alive.
The wind and snow gradually intensified at night, and the coldness entered the house like an invisible ghost seeking death, strangling Ronger's neck tightly.
She lay on the bed with a pale face, and the piercing pain seemed to come from her bones.
"Miss, I'm so cold..." Ronger huddled in the bed, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"Rong'er, you drink a bowl of hot tea first." Song Xiao brought the tea, helped Ronger up, and gently fed the tea down. However, Ronger's face was still ugly, and her forehead was frighteningly hot when she touched it.
A hint of gloom flashed in Song Xiao's eyes.
Ronger has been with her since childhood and knows many secrets. Just now Zhang Shan accidentally revealed that Ronger had told Zhang Shan most of the things.
Thinking of this, Song Xiao clenched her hands secretly. She asked herself that she had not done anything harmful to the world in these years. Every word she did was to live in order to carve out a world of her own in the Song family.
But no matter how you put it, the things she did were indeed shameful. Although they did not harm anyone's life, they were also dirty and despicable. But these were not her fault! She was just trying to protect herself.
Ronger knows all this!
But Ronger actually betrayed her for herself!
There was a chill in Song Xiao's eyes, but her tone was full of worry, "Rong'er, you have to rest for the night first, and I will go find a doctor for you early tomorrow morning. It's snowing outside at this time, and the pharmacy has already closed."
Ronger huddled under the quilt and looked at Song Xiao with tears in her eyes. Because her body was too cold, she couldn't even say anything to plead. She only knew that if she really stayed in the cold all night, she might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
"Miss, I'm so cold..." She cried, reaching out to pull Song Xiao's sleeve. It wasn't that she couldn't find a doctor at this time, but it was just more difficult than before.
She has been with Song Xiao for so long, how could she not even know these things?
If it were Liu Yuan or Song Xiao who were lying in bed stiff with cold today, they would have gone out to find a doctor long ago.
Song Xiao is saying these things now because she just doesn’t want to go!
Hatred flashed in Rong'er's eyes. Before she could plead again, the person sitting by the bed made an excuse and left in a hurry. Even the tea was just put aside casually, letting the heat dissipate and the tea cool down.
As the door was slammed shut, the cold wind swept in from the outside and blew the candlelight in the room swaying, almost blowing it out.
"Cough cough cough!"
Ronger struggled to sit up, and the strong hatred in her heart distorted her delicate face.
The quilt she was wearing was not enough to keep out the cold. If she didn't get a second quilt, she would probably freeze to death.
Couldn't her lady see this?
No!
Of course she knew, but she didn't want to care about it at all, maybe she was hoping that she would die tonight!
Ronger should have recognized this fact from the moment Song Xiao pushed her out!
She trudged to the cabinet and took out the quilt with great effort. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead and she felt dizzy.
Ronger fell to the ground, a feeling of heat gushing out of her body. She tried feebly to take off her clothes. Tears suddenly fell from her eyes. She didn't understand why she ended up like this.
It was obviously what Song Xiao asked her to do, but she was the one who was pushed into the lotus pond in the end...
Zhang Shan was originally a gangster in the town. He just got Liu Yuan's appreciation and stayed with Liu Yuan. In essence, he was still a gangster. With Liu Yuan's support, he became even more ruthless and pushed her directly into the marriage. In the lotus pond covered with a thin layer of ice, he stood on the shore watching her struggle with cold eyes.
If she hadn't been willing to tell the whole story, Zhang Shan would have watched her sink into the water coldly.
She confessed the matter just to survive. She thought that since she had been with Song Xiao for many years, Song Xiao would understand her, but what happened!
The hatred in Rong'er's heart was overwhelming, but it couldn't resist the discomfort in her body. Gradually, her consciousness became blurred, and hot tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She only hated that as a maid, she had a low life and was not worth a second look from her master.
…
Early the next morning, white snow covered the streets and rooftops.
Qin Lian got up early and prepared breakfast, but looked at Su Liuye and hesitated for a while.
Su Liuye looked strange, "Lianlian, what's wrong with you? Do you have something to tell me?"
"I……"
Qin Lian's eyes flickered. She left Liu Yuan's place yesterday and returned to the house. She originally wanted to tell Su Liuye about Chu Yan and the woman in red, but Su Liuye was in the kitchen with Mr. Lu at the time.
She didn't want Mr. Lu to know these things, so she had to hold back until today when she wanted to tell Su Liuye.
This time is a good opportunity!
Qin Lian bit her lip lightly, determination flashed in her eyes, "A Liu, I saw Brother Chu and Master Xiao on the street yesterday!"
"real?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes! And..." She hesitated, "There is a woman beside Brother Chu. She seems to be very close to him. She holds Brother Chu's hand when walking on the road, and Brother Chu does not refuse. !”
Speaking of this, Qin Lian was really angry and carefully paid attention to Su Liuye's expression.
Su Liuye was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard that there was a woman beside Chu Yan.
"Did you really see it?"
