Song Jinyin sent the person out and lit the lamp hanging outside the house.
As the Chinese New Year is busy, there are occasional sounds of firecrackers outside, breaking the original silence in the alley.
But when Song Jinyin looked at this deserted courtyard that was completely different from the outside, she felt even more empty and bitter in her heart.
She seemed to have escaped from Kyoto City, but she seemed to be in Kyoto City everywhere.
From the day she was sent to the Duke's Mansion, a huge prison hung over her head, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
But she didn't want to admit it.
Maybe the sound of firecrackers was too loud, mixed with the children's play, which startled the rabbit in the kitchen, causing it to kick its legs and make noisy noises.
Song Jinyin came back to her senses, wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and followed the voice.
"I actually forgot to give you back."
Song Jinyin looked at the rabbit in the cage, feeling a little annoyed for a moment, but more importantly, confused.
After raising it for two days, this little thing didn't have much trouble other than eating a lot and having to clean it up.
Even yesterday she accidentally opened the cage and let it run out, but it just jumped around her feet, and then nestled obediently near the firewood pile in the kitchen without going anywhere.
Song Jinyin didn't want it to be eaten.
Thinking like this, she threw some hay in and let it chew on it, and also touched its head.
"That's all, you're not worth a lot of money. You're not worthy of me having to deal with him because of this. You might as well stay with me."
Song Jinyin murmured in her heart.
There was a strong smell of medicine coming out of the stove. She squatted down and looked at the little thing inside that kept talking.
She has always disliked being involved in relationships, and she rarely interacts with people deeply. She is only afraid of being reluctant to leave when parting, or being stared at and threatened by others.
Now a rabbit came out of nowhere, which made her lonely heart a little more interesting, and she also tasted the stability of companionship.
The little thing's ears moved, looking cute and cute.
The moisture in Song Jinyin's eyes gradually dried up.
Looking at the tranquility in front of her, the sight of Pei Yanzhou vomiting blood just now no longer weighed on her heart.
"Awesome Song Jinyin, she made those people look sad!"
Song Jinyin was still squatting next to the rabbit cage. When she heard the sudden sound, her body suddenly stiffened.
"But you did the right thing this time. He once abandoned your sincerity like a worn-out shoe. Now he regrets it and wants you to look back. If there is such a good thing, you shouldn't take care of it, no matter what his identity is!"
"Who? Hiss..."
She frowned at the pain of pulling, and in the next moment, something flew from above her head and fell into her arms.
"My stuff can't cure your tongue, but it can make it less painful for you."
Song Jinyin raised her eyes and looked outside the kitchen.
Under the bright rabbit light, a girl was wearing a dark round-neck robe, dressed as a man, with tall and tall hair, tall and handsome, with her arms folded around her chest, and she raised her chin.
"I told you a long time ago that I would come looking for you when I go south. Why are you so surprised?"
"Sister Wanqing?"
The woman in front has slightly rounded cheeks, big black and white eyes, slightly raised eye tips, and a slightly rounded nose, making her look cute and harmless.
Look, it's a little different from earlier days.
"If the Crown Prince hadn't been too vigilant, I would have come over just now to listen more."
The visitor entered the stove, found a place to squat down very casually, and stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove, "Don't look at me like that, I don't understand what you mean, take this medicine before you talk." "
Song Jinyin looked down at the medicine bottle thrown into her arms.
The crystal clear white jade pot is small, with Shu Juan Xiangyun carved on it, and it looks like it is worth a lot of money.
"I dare not eat it."
Song Jinyin shook her head.
She couldn't speak clearly, and there was a dull pain in her mouth.
Just now I talked too much with others, but now I stop, I have to bear the consequences of my impulse.
"What's wrong with this? I won't poison you."
Seeing the unconcealed distrust in her eyes, the visitor laughed out loud and nodded frequently, "This is what you should do to others, but you don't have to do it to me. I won't harm you, and I still hope to use you to negotiate business. ."
Song Jinyin only thought she was talking about Shen Yuhe, so she didn't take it too seriously.
After all, she really wasn't very familiar with Dr. Shen.
Song Jinyin smiled and pointed at her belly.
She was not afraid of being poisoned, she was just afraid that this mysterious medicine would affect the child in her belly.
"Don't worry, a little powder of medicine won't hurt him. Besides, Shen Yuhe will arrive in Luo City in a few days. He will definitely come to see you then, so don't worry."
Li Wanqing stood up, clapped her hands, spoke nonchalantly, and then went to her house.
"I didn't see you when I came here during the day. I left you a few bottles of medicine in the cabinet and left. I didn't expect to leave the jade pendant at your place..."
"Is that jade pendant yours?"
Song Jinyin exclaimed, not caring about asking Shen Yuhe about coming to Luo City, nor caring about the pain in her mouth, her eyes widened.
"Well, my master gave it to me. If it weren't for the protection of the Shen Jiayu Pendant, Shen Yuhe would have asked me to cause trouble for me. How could it be possible?"
"Do you know why I am biting my tongue today?"
"When you first came here, you listened carefully to a few words. Did you get into trouble with the prince?"
Li Wanqing stopped, listened to her vague exclamation, and looked back at her.
Li Wanqing couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the complicated emotions in her eyes, including a helpless chuckle and a hint of annoyance.
"You two...couldn't it be because of my jade pendant?"
After a while, Song Jinyin came back to her senses and secretly sighed that she cared too much.
With or without that jade pendant, her breakup with Pei Yanzhou would have been a matter of time.
She thought she had made it clear before, and she also thought that his patience would run out, and with too many official duties, he would leave sooner or later.
But Pei Yanzhou didn't seem to take her rejection to heart from beginning to end.
Willing to have his own way and only doing what he wants to do.
Now the jade pendant was just an introduction, once again bringing the gap that he had forcibly ignored to the surface, and clearly exposing the things that were already between the two of them that could never be reconciled.
Everyone has his own hatred, everyone has his own dissatisfaction.
Even all his bowings were from his already condescending position.
Therefore, the two of them can never reconcile, and they can never come to the same place.
Thinking about it this way, it was a good thing that a jade pendant forced the two of them to a dead end.
Song Jinyin shook her head, and after regaining consciousness, she opened her hands to the person in front of her.
"The jade pendant is not here with me."
The corners of Li Wanqing's curved mouth drooped a little bit.
She seemed to have guessed correctly.
All the excitement she saw just now was actually because of her jade pendant.
Thinking about this, Li Wanqing became discouraged.
She had only met the eldest son of the Pei family a few times, and last time she helped Shen Yuhe send his sweetheart out of the city.
Now, if she ran over to ask for something for no reason, she would probably be picked up and beaten up by his people.
But she can't live without this jade pendant.
"The jade pendant is with the eldest son of the Pei family?"
Li Wanqing asked again without giving up, and Song Jinyin nodded, opened her mouth, and said vaguely: "He lives at Qianlai Inn."
"Qian comes to the inn?"
Li Wanqing frowned and raised her eyes to look in the direction of the courtyard next door, her suspicions becoming more solid.
Just now she came to look for Song Jinyin, and happened to see the prince returning to the courtyard next door, with a cold face and an intimidating oppression about him.
When instructing others, his voice was extremely low.
She guessed that there was a conflict between him and Song Jinyin, and she also speculated that he lived here, which was probably something Song Jinyin didn't know about.
It's just that she just wanted to do some business with him, but she didn't want a jade pendant to block her way.
"Otherwise I'd better not go."
Li Wanqing sighed, poured herself a basin of water, and wiped her face.
The originally round and cute face turned back to its original beautiful appearance after a lot of fiddling with her.
Song Jinyin's lips moved, and she looked at her in surprise, suddenly realizing.
No wonder she felt something was different about Li Wanqing just now. It turned out that she was fake just now.
"A man's anger is nothing more than power, wealth and women. With the prince's appearance, he must have misunderstood the origin of the jade pendant. If he becomes angry after hearing the explanation, my ten lives may not be enough."
"Then you don't want it?"
Song Jinyin suppressed her shock at her appearance and made a few gestures with her hand.
"I must have it. The Shen family jade pendant cannot fall into the hands of others, and I cannot cause trouble for Master."
Li Wanqing's eyebrows became a little serious, and then became tangled again.
"The prince must be thinking about Shen Yuhe, right? I'm thinking that if I don't go there until he creates trouble for Shen Yuhe, but I'm afraid that he will really attack Shen Yuhe because of this..."
It was already dark outside, making the lights in the courtyard even brighter.
It seemed like drizzle was falling lightly, bringing out the haze, and also fell on the bloodstain beside the door without realizing it.
Before Li Wanqing finished her hesitant words, a knock on the door sounded outside the yard, breaking the tranquility of the winter night.
Cang Lin did not come in. After Song Jinyin asked who he was, he returned to the cold and solemn tone he had in Zhuyayuan, and his voice was clear and crisp.
"The master wants to see this girl, please ask her to come with you."
