The rain was pouring down, pattering on the roof.
The candlelight in the room was bright, swaying out of the pale face on the bed.
…
"Tang Ning, you have to be patient with Lan'er. She had a miserable life and had a hard time in the past. You have been a noble person for many years, so you have to be dignified and tolerant."
"Tang Ning, Lan'er just doesn't understand Beijing's rules. She didn't mean to rush you."
"Tang Ning, why are you so ignorant? Lan'er has already given in to you, why are you still so aggressive?"
…
Song Jin protected Song Shulan, who was wearing pear blossoms and raining rain: "Song Tangning, it was your own mischief that caused you to fall off the cliff and ruin your face. It was your mistake in the first place that caused your own injury."
"If you hadn't injured Lan'er first, how could we have left in anger? If you had returned to Lingyun Temple obediently, how could you have fallen down from a high place and ended up like this?"
"In the past two years, Lan'er has been asking for medicine for you everywhere for your face, and she has personally taken blood from her heart to recuperate your body. She wishes she could use her body to make up for you, what else do you want?!"
Xie Yin looked at Song Shulan with distress, and frowned in disgust when he turned to face her:
"Cousin, you used to be the most sensible person. Lan'er was gentle and kind, and always thought of you. Why do you keep embarrassing her and bullying her in every possible way? How did you become such a vicious person?"
Lu Zhinian looked cold and sneered: "She has a vicious heart, her face is ugly, and her heart is even uglier. She only targets Shulan, causing trouble in the whole house, and making the whole capital watch the jokes of the Song and Lu families. People like her are worse than He died on Mount Qi back then."
Mrs. Song was full of disappointment: "Tang Ning, please reflect on this."
Song Tangning's legs were disabled and his face was covered with abscesses.
She watched them leave one by one, crying desperately that she didn't, she didn't bully Song Shulan.
But the door was still slammed shut, and no one wanted her.
They don't want her anymore...
…
The girl on the bed closed her eyes tightly and looked pale, still crying in her sleep.
She seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, crying and murmuring "Brother".
After helping Song Tangning change her clothes and put on good medicine, Madam Qin walked out and couldn't help but said: "Master Governor, whose family this young lady is from, I don't know how much wrong she has suffered. She has been crying in her dreams. .”
Xiao Yan twirled his fingers. Are you scared?
"How is she hurt?"
Mrs. Qin said: "It doesn't matter that there are scratches all over her body. The nails on her hands are just turned over. It hurts when I look at them. Moreover, the little lady's face was scratched several times by branches. The wounds were a bit deep and she was already cold." If it gets wet and mixed with dirt, I'm afraid it will cause abscesses."
"Take good care of her, no scars allowed," Xiao Yan explained.
Madam Qin was quite curious. She had known Xiao Yan for many years, and he had never been a pity person. He was already curious when he came back with the girl in his arms. Now he still cares about whether he has scars?
"What, you can't do it?"
"No way, Lord Governor, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will keep the little lady as beautiful as a flower."
Xiao Yan glanced at her, turned around, walked around the screen and walked in.
The girl on the bed was covered with a brocade quilt, but her body was extremely thin. Her thin white fingers were wrapped with curtains to cover her wounds, and there were tears on her face.
Xiao Yan sat by the bed and watched the little girl sobbing in her wronged dream. He dipped his fingertips into the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and his face was filled with frost.
This frightened look didn't look like she was scared by him.
She said before that they bullied her...
"Canglang."
Canglang walked in.
Xiao Yan said coldly: "Let someone check the Song family to see if the Song family has wronged her in the past."
"Then over at Lingyun Temple today..."
"Let's check it out too."
Before Canglang could respond, Jinyun, who had followed him in, couldn't help but frown slightly.
He stretched out his hand to stop Canglang and glanced at the figure lying on the bed:
"Superintendent, you have been investigating the culprit of the grain supply recently. This matter is closely related to several aristocratic families in Beijing. The Song family is very close to the Cui and Lu families. If you suddenly order someone to investigate them, you may alarm those people. people."
"No problem."
Xiao Yan sternly wiped away the tears on his fingertips, "Lu Chongyuan is very scheming. The water transportation has been well organized and it is difficult to find clues."
"I originally planned to find an excuse to have someone close to him perform an operation. If he notices it, it will be just right for me to go to Song Guogong's house to alert the snake and make the old guy move."
Jinyun asked: "Then Miss Song..."
"Stay here for now."
"Lord Governor!" Jinyun was puzzled.
This Song Tangning is the daughter of the Song family, and she is deeply involved with Prince Cheng's Mansion.
Princess Cheng was very protective of her shortcomings. If the Governor left the Song family girl here, if anyone discovered it, the Song family and Prince Cheng's Mansion would have to cause trouble for them.
Jinyun said tactfully: "Master Governor, Miss Song Yunying is unmarried, so it is against etiquette to stay here."
"I am a eunuch, what are the etiquette?"
Jinyun suddenly choked.
Xiao Yan snorted when he saw his appearance, and threw the half of the jade pendant he had taken off from Song Tangning's neck before.
Jinyun quickly caught it: "This is..."
"Aunt Xue's dragon pattern pendant."
Xue......
Jinyun's eyes suddenly opened wide.
Xiao Yan looked at the half of the dragon-patterned pendant and said, "Back then, Aunt Xue risked her life to protect me from the palace and hid me in a safe place to lure away the pursuers. Not long after, a lady found me. She took Aunt Xue's I wear half a dragon-patterned pendant, saying that she is Aunt Xue’s best friend, and that she has entrusted me with her protection.”
"If that lady hadn't protected me secretly and sent me out of the capital, I would have died long ago."
He was only eleven years old that year. He suffered a sudden change and injured his eyes. His temperament also became dark and unstable, but the lady was extremely tolerant of him.
He couldn't see clearly for a long time, but he remembered the plum blossom cakes made by the lady herself, and her tenderness when she carefully applied the medicine to him.
Later, I saw that he was depressed and refused to speak all day long. There was a jabbering pink dumpling in the small courtyard who couldn't even speak clearly.
When Xiao Yan lowered his eyes to look at the person on the bed, the frost in his eyes melted a little.
When she was a child, she had a round face, a round body, short arms and short legs, and she walked like a fat duck.
When he didn't speak, the little girl would pester him and whisper.
Even though he couldn't speak clearly, he didn't pay attention to her, but she always liked to squeeze next to him and keep talking.
The sunshine was so beautiful, the grass was so green, and the birds were flying over. I could talk about how my father picked pears for her, the snacks my mother made were so sweet, and my brother tied a paper kite for her.
He didn't respond to her, but he liked the excitement in her mouth.
The first thing he saw after he could see was Fendanzi lying next to him with his butt stuck out, his almond-shaped eyes wide open like a clumsy puppy, blowing for him with a swollen face and the scabs on his hands. of scars.
Xiao Yan still remembers the day he left, when Naituanzi hugged his legs and cried with snot and tears. The tears were so overwhelming that he could drown them all.
Twelve years later, she is still able to cry.
When Xiao Yan chuckled, it was as if the spring breeze soothed the sharp ends of his eyes:
"At that time, to be on the safe side, the lady never mentioned her identity, nor did she ask who I was. After I returned to Beijing, I looked for her, but the place where she lived at that time had long been deserted, and the surrounding area was deserted, and no one knew about it. Past events."
But he didn't expect to meet that little doll unexpectedly.
"Little Begonia..."
He remembered that the lady had called her that.
The person on the bed seemed to hear someone calling her, and her eyelashes trembled as if she was about to wake up.
A strong and slender hand patted her gently through the brocade quilt, as if to comfort her, she fell asleep again.
Xiao Yan said coldly: "Check carefully to see how the Song family treated her poorly."
Jinyun and Canglang both heard that the governor was angry and quickly accepted the order without saying a word.
