After the question came out, the room suddenly fell into silence.
Dr. Mu had never heard of the prince being so cautious.
Not to mention taking the initiative to tell the news, such an unprecedented thing, he was so shocked that he almost misplaced his pulse diagnosis hand.
However, the girl in front of him didn't speak, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear her. He lowered his head and checked her pulse carefully.
Song Jinyin did not raise her head to look at anyone.
Just after hearing Pei Yanzhou's words, there was a momentary fluctuation in my heart.
For Liu to be spoken so calmly in his mouth was something she had never imagined.
Maybe I had thought about it, looking forward to the day when I could understand Liu's difficulties and see Pei Yanzhou let go of the hatred in his heart.
But such thoughts have already died together with Song Jinyin's sincerity in countless days and nights.
Listening to Liu now, although I feel that I have not completely let go, it still feels like a lifetime ago.
And the scene that I just recalled before my eyes.
Perhaps Ms. Liu had hesitated before, and it was even possible that the woman who once loved her very much was not as cruel as she appeared to be.
But from beginning to end, no one asked her if she wanted to follow her mother.
No one cared, whether she was afraid of death or more afraid of being left behind by the people she cared about.
Just when everyone thought Song Jinyin would not respond, the little girl's lips curved and she lowered her head.
He seemed to be looking at his belly, then shook his head and said no.
"It is better for ordinary people like me not to listen to the news in the hands of the Crown Prince."
"But she...the news that she was in the Duke's Mansion after you left, you also..."
"I don't want to hear it."
The corners of Song Jinyin's eyes were drooped, and her long eyelashes seemed to be trembling slightly.
She couldn't tell whether she was cruel or whether, like the man in front of her, she had gradually become cold-blooded and ruthless in those days.
She only knew that she was not in good health right now.
Any possible fluctuations will make it difficult for her to find stability, and will also trap her back to that day when dark clouds came over the city and she was abandoned by Pei Yanzhou's sword.
"I never like to look back, especially to people who have left me behind."
As if she had made up her mind, Song Jinyin suddenly raised her eyes and met the man's gaze calmly.
At this moment, Pei Yanzhou's hope was shattered, leaving only bitterness.
Song Jinyin had recited Mrs. Liu countless times during her illness. Although she was unconscious, the tears falling from the corners of her eyes were filled with her thoughts and broke her usual indifference in Zhuya Courtyard.
But now, he couldn't even use Liu's news to get her to care at all.
Not even a moment of hesitation.
And her words.
Pei Yanzhou knew that in her heart, Liu was not the only person who had abandoned her.
Doctor Mu carefully checked the pulse.
As soon as she wrote down the prescription, Song Jinyin stood up, took the paper, and prepared to leave the inn with him. However, before she could take a step forward, someone grabbed her wrist.
"You know you have to take care of yourself now, so why do you still..."
"The Crown Prince asked me to choose one of the two, and I chose. I want to go back to my small courtyard, otherwise I will feel unhappy and upset when I see the Crown Prince."
Pei Yanzhou can't lose his temper now.
The little girl in front of her is indeed different from the Song Jinyin who used to be in Zhuyayuan.
He has more temper and less forbearance, and his face gradually becomes rounder.
But those stubborn and bright eyes still reflected the appearance of the little girl in his memory.
It's just that she was more alive then than now.
The more Pei Yanzhou thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He couldn't say a harsh word. He pursed his thin lips tightly for a moment before speaking in a soft voice.
"I'll take you back."
"...It's still daylight outside. Does the Crown Prince really have nothing else to do?"
Song Jinyin frowned and looked out through the wooden window that was opened a crack.
But the house was inside, and she couldn't see anything about the scene downstairs.
Just recalling what she heard in the prefect's mansion that day, she thought that the big girl would still send someone to guard downstairs of the inn.
"have."
Pei Yanzhou spoke up.
Seeing her reluctance, her fingertips tightened unconsciously, almost causing her heart to shrink suddenly and feel soreness.
"I said I would guard you and the child in your belly, Song Jinyin, I didn't just say it."
"I'm not just talking."
Song Jinyin looked around, then turned her gaze to Pei Yanzhou's face.
"I don't know how long your patience can last, but I just want to say, can you stay away from me?"
Song Jinyin was so angry that she didn't even bother to call him Prince again.
Even thinking that he was so eye-catching and if he really wanted to go out with her stubbornly, Song Jinyin felt a little anxious in her heart.
Speaking of which, if one day he is really targeted by that big girl, the best way to protect himself is to sell Pei Yanzhou.
Song Jinyin looked at the person in front of her quietly.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw his pupils flashing slightly, as if he was hurt for a moment.
When she and Pei Yanzhou looked at each other before, although they didn't feel submissive and humble, their identities were like a huge gap.
His condescension made people only see the deep darkness in his eyes, which made people breathless.
But now, it was difficult for these once cold and stern eyes to even fall into her heart.
In the peripheral vision, Cang Lin didn't dare to look up. Perhaps after hearing her words, he was a little afraid of being implicated in anger.
There was silence for only a moment. Pei Yanzhou turned slightly sideways and did not look at her again. He just raised his hand, his back showing loneliness.
"Cang Lin, let someone prepare the medicine and then send the girl back."
"Yes, Master."
The faces of the people in the room varied.
Song Jinyin felt a little uncomfortable because of the girl's voice.
Cang Lin, who responded, felt sorry for his master's lonely figure, but when he thought of the small courtyard next to Song Jinyin, he secretly came back to his senses.
The two of them stepped into their respective yards with the skill of their front and back feet.
...
And the prefect’s mansion after nightfall.
Xiuxiu lay dying in Feng Qiyu's courtyard. Her outer shirt was stripped off, leaving only a thin middle coat on her body.
As soon as the cold wind blew, his whole body was so frozen that it was difficult to move. Even the wounds on his body were numb and less painful.
But the girl sitting in the soft chair on the porch drinking tea in front of her had no intention of stopping.
She took a sip of hot tea and then handed the tea cup back to the maid's hand.
"But I told my mother that it was Yi who caught Hu Meizi's eye. Is it because I don't like him?"
"Go back to the big girl."
The maid hesitated a little, then she knelt down and said, "Madam, you don't have to let the girl fall in love with the young master of the Yi family. It's from the master's side... But don't worry, girl, the master who has been touched by such a dirty thing, where can I?" It’s also worthy of your status as a girl.”
"Well, this bastard doesn't look good, but he can actually do such immoral things, which really opened my eyes."
After a pause, Feng Qiyu looked at Xiuxiu on the ground and sneered: "Do you know where you went wrong?"
Xiuxiu supported her body with her hands and struggled to raise her head.
She could guess that the only reason for provoking the big girl in front of her was because of the people around her.
But now, she has no choice but to beg for mercy.
"Big, big girl, please spare your life..."
"Since you are afraid of death, why do you want to provoke me?"
Feng Qiyu raised his hand, looked at his fingertips under the lighted lamp, and chuckled again, "Even if you don't want my girl's things, it's not your turn as a pariah to touch them. That's your fault." It was also a mistake to climb a high branch too early, because I was caught in the eye."
The cold wind swept Feng Qiyu's words into the open space in the courtyard.
Xiuxiu's fingertips slid on the ground, leaving a few traces.
But she felt no pain, only resentment that she didn't know how to vent.
This scene was exactly what she had imagined, but it was obvious that Song Ci should be the one who suffered it, and she should be waiting in the embroidery workshop to watch the fun!
But now Xiuxiu can't figure it out, why it's like this.
The wind was filled with a very faint smell of blood.
A boy trotted in from outside, passed the people kneeling on the ground, and stopped in front of Feng Qiyu.
"Girl, there is news about that woman!"
"oh?"
The tapping fingertips suddenly stopped, Feng Qiyu tapped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and said casually: "If you make another mistake, you will not be so lucky."
"Don't worry, girl! It's what the coachman said this time, but this time the man didn't drink and was very sober!"
"Well, who is that woman? What kind of lady is she?"
"Girl, I'm afraid you can't think of it!"
The boy came closer, the surprise in his eyes not dissipating, "That woman is also from Jinyu Embroidery House. The people below made a mistake yesterday! Song Ci was the one who was carried into the inn!"
"Why is it her?"
Feng Qiyu frowned, recalling the face he saw during the day.
"Why is she on the Yi family's carriage?"
"I heard that she was kidnapped by the young master of the Yi family. But for some reason, the young master didn't touch her. If he did..."
Xiuxiu was lying weakly on the ground. When she heard these words, her eyes lit up and she once again gathered enough strength to raise her head.
"Song Ci... the people, the people's daughters can go back to the embroidery workshop, help the eldest girl, and drive her away!"
Feng Qiyu's eyebrows darkened slightly and he ignored Xiuxiu on the ground for the moment.
Yesterday, Song Ci was carried into the inn so carefully by the prince. It must be that he was somewhat doted on, and he was definitely not someone she could bully at will.
Although she didn't know why that person became a new embroiderer, at the moment, she could never go up and kidnap him like she did with this bitch.
Xiuxiu on the ground seemed to see hope again.
She reached out and tried to kneel a few steps forward, trying to attract Feng Qiyu's attention.
But before the words were spoken, there was some movement outside the courtyard, and then there were several maids carrying special lanterns, reflecting the figure of a pretty little girl in the middle.
"Sister, why did you arrest someone and lynch them again?"
The visitor is Feng Mengling, the third girl of the Prefecture, who is also a thorn in Feng Qiyu's side.
At this moment, she opened her eyes wide, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and exclaimed with an irrepressible smile on her lips.
"When my father finds out, he will definitely be angry with my eldest sister again. What should I do?"
