She put on a pair of sky-green clothes and quietly closed the door.
It was already late at night, and the drums started to sound once. When I looked up, I saw that the full moon had already passed its zenith.
She walked around the corridor and found Qing Fei sitting on the steps with a sad face.
She waved, and when Qing Fei saw that it was indeed her, his expression became even more miserable, and he dragged his feet and moved in front of her.
"lady......"
She pushed the paper with the seal into her hand and asked her to go to the warehouse to withdraw the silver immediately. Qing Fei succumbed to her lustful power and went there slowly. When a package of silver was delivered to her hand, , she finally held her throat and cried softly.
"Madam... Madam, please don't walk, can you?"
The Lord will kill them all tomorrow!
Yin Xiao lowered his head to open the bag and counted the money without raising his head: "No."
Qing Fei howled sadly.
She was so noisy that she could do nothing and said coldly: "Either you come with me, or you stay here and follow my mother and Xu Yu to take good care of Peilin."
Before leaving, she took one last look at her daughter.
Gone are the dark and skinny monkey-like appearance when she was just born. The one-month-old girl's skin is fair and tender. When her eyes are closed, her eyelashes are curled and the tail of her eyes is slightly raised.
Her eyebrows and eyes looked like they were carved from the same mold as her father's.
Covering her eyebrows, her nose, mouth and chin do look a lot like hers.
Her heart suddenly felt sour, her eyes filled with tears, she reached out to touch her daughter's cheek, but she didn't dare, her hand stopped in mid-air.
Perhaps it was mother and daughter who were connected. Peilin, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
What a beautiful pair of eyes.
Her eyes, as clear as glass beads, looked at the woman standing beside the cradle with sparkling light.
Just like when that person looked at her.
"Will you blame me?"
She looked deeply at her daughter's delicate and young facial features, wishing that every inch and every bit of them would be imprinted in her mind.
She took off the glazed bracelet from her wrist and carefully stuffed it into her swaddling clothes.
The baby held the glass bead tightly in his hand, suddenly grinned and smiled at her.
Heaven and earth cannot last forever, but how much worse is it for humans?
She placed a gentle kiss on the baby's forehead.
Parents lead their children forward step by step.
And the first lesson she taught her daughter was separation.
He helped her tuck in her baby clothes for the last time and stopped to look at her for a moment until the second watch drum sounded.
Finally left cruelly.
——
After the woman left, the swaddled baby held the warm glass string and played with it for a while. Then he suddenly curled his lips and started crying softly.
The cradle was in the inner room, separated by a screen, and Mother Shen was resting on the couch.
Mother Shen and Mrs. Xu have been taking turns keeping vigil these days. Mother Shen, who was keeping watch tonight, slept particularly deeply. The child's cries were like a cat meowing, babbling, and finally burping from crying.
Mother Shen stood up and came over to pick her up, put her in her arms and coaxed her, but she didn't feel better.
The bright light in the room woke up Xu Yu who was guarding the sentry room next door, and called the wet nurse to feed her again.
After crying for half the night, Xu Yu wanted to go to Qing Fei to report to the main house, but Shen's mother held her back.
"Today is a great day for the Lord and his wife, so why bother interrupting them at will?"
Think about it too.
Xu Yu gave up, and the two of them took turns holding the baby and coaxing it softly, rocking and singing hypnotic songs, but to no avail.
It seemed different from the crying in the past. Tonight, it was clearly a bit hysterical.
The two people and the two wet nurses were kept awake all night until the next morning. The baby was tired of crying and drank milk again. After drinking, he fell asleep. After sleeping for less than an hour, he woke up again. He started crying babblingly.
This time, she stopped drinking even after the milk reached her mouth. She closed her eyes and held the glass string in her hand, crying loudly.
The whole room was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. If they kept crying like this, they might burst into tears.
"No, I'm afraid I'll cry if I don't report it."
After not seeing Qing Fei for half a day, Xu Yu and Shen's mother carried the child to the main house, and invited the government doctor to come for a consultation, fearing that the child was not feeling well.
It was almost noon, and no one came in to wait in the main room, and the servants did not dare to go in rashly. Mother Shen followed Xu Yu with Peilin who was tired of crying, and Xu Yu knocked on the door tentatively.
No one responded, so she simply said a few words that the young master seemed to be feeling unwell, and knocked on the door again.
Wei Ning has also been waiting outside for a long time.
At this time in the past, Wei Cheng had gotten up early. He had never slept until this time, but he remembered that last night was a special day and he couldn't disturb him rashly.
There seemed to be a thin rustling sound coming from inside.
Xu Yu pushed the door open and went in.
A screen and a red curtain separated the inner room from the outside. A blurry figure was reflected on the screen. Xu Nu reported that the young master had been making trouble all night. She guessed that she missed her mother. Suddenly, the sound of breaking porcelain came from came from behind the screen.
"Snapped--"
It looked like a vase had been pushed to the ground.
Porcelain fragments splashed out, Xu Yu remained silent.
The child was frightened by the sudden noise and was only quiet for a moment. The next moment, a sharp cry sounded, which was particularly abrupt in the silent main room.
"Someone is coming..."
The man's voice came out word by word through clenched teeth, hoarse and decadent, with heavy breathing.
The man's tone was extremely sinister and cold.
Wei Ning paused and realized that he was talking to himself.
"My subordinate is here!"
"Immediately...lock down the city!"
The man's voice was hoarse.
"Especially the gateway from Youzhou to various states and counties!"
Wei Cheng clenched his molars tightly, and there was a faint sweet smell between his teeth.
"......yes."
Wei Ning wanted to ask one more question, but stopped talking. He had a vague intuition that the general should be related to that person today.
"Deploy troops immediately and check them one by one."
He ordered every word.
He didn't sleep all night, and it wasn't until the morning that he could move a finger.
If the dose of Caowu had been a few more points, what was lying on the bed now would be his body.
A low chuckle came.
Everyone in the room felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and their backs were numb.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the child in the room was crying so loudly that he almost wanted to draw a knife and cut off the dazzling redness in the room.
His big hand with exposed veins grabbed the flower table beside the bed. The rosewood was broken into two pieces under his hands, and the sawdust pierced the palm of his hand. He stepped on the porcelain tiles on the ground with his bare feet, and bright red blood seeped out bit by bit on the ground. The gorgeous carpet was soaked.
And the hijab lying quietly on the ground.
My heart was completely torn in half.
He stared at Xipa on the ground, his face was pale and ferocious, his voice was extremely cold, and he roared hoarsely.
"The whole of Dayin is turned upside down, and I want to catch him back!"
He stood up unsteadily, his whole body trembling under the boiling hatred, and the muscles on his exposed chest and abdomen were extremely tight.
A surge of blood surged up.
He suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood. On the smooth silk screen, the dazzling red color was dazzling. The smell of blood floated away. Under the extreme depression, a little girl couldn't help but screamed and fainted. Xu Yu and others had already knelt down. He was so trembling that he didn't dare to say a word.
Only Wei Ning remained calm: "General, are you going to die or live?"
If there was a dispute between the two parties, an accident would definitely occur, and it would be inevitable that no one would be injured or injured, not to mention that the two unarmed women were the ones running away.
Wei Cheng said nothing, as if he was hesitating.
Mother Shen knelt on the ground and raised her head with wide eyes.
She still held Peilin, who was still crying, in her arms. She seemed to feel her father's anger and hatred for her mother. The child cried extremely sadly, and her little body twitched.
"General, please spare Yin Xiao's life..." Her eyes overflowed with muddy old tears, and she tremblingly kowtowed to the figure behind the blood-stained screen, "If you want to kill, kill me. , I will die for her..."
Wei Cheng looked over, suddenly curled his lips and smiled sinisterly.
"Of course you have to live."
Only a living person can let him vent his hatred.
Even if she died, she would die in his hands and be buried with him.
"Are you going to die for her?"
This sentence was addressed to Mother Shen.
He raised his hand and wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingertips.
The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to smile, but couldn't, "Are you worthy?"
Mother Shen's body softened.
How could he forget all this trash?
The corners of his mouth curved inexplicably.
Of course they can't die, not one of them.
Shen Yinxiao is such a soft-hearted person. As long as these people are still here, she will secretly come back to see them sooner or later.
Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed and sat down on the edge of the bed happily, causing his internal organs to twitch, and the pain like needle pricks continued.
Yes, she will come back.
As long as he still holds the life of the person she cares about in his hands.
She will always come back.
"It will always come back." He held his forehead and murmured as he looked at the blood-stained Xipa on the ground.
Do you hate it? I hate it so much.
He waited all night long with his eyes open, and the man left with such determination.
He chased her back, and she didn't even look back.
He was ridiculously waiting for her to turn back halfway with a hope of luck.
Why give him a slap on the head when he is happiest.
Why stab him when he is most defenseless.
There is no more vicious woman in the world than her.
"Everyone get down." His voice was weak.
The baby, who was originally surrounded by stars, saw that no one paid attention to him, and his cries were soft and intermittent.
He listened blankly until the crying gradually faded away, and he finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong with the child?"
