After Xiaocui returned to the duty room, Yun Xiaoning was already awake.
Her buttocks hurt so much that she woke up and couldn't get a good night's sleep all day long.
Xiaocui handed the candied haws to her.
Yun Xiaoning was a little surprised. This kind of sweet food was not allowed in Yihongyuan.
Affect body shape.
Yihongyuan is very famous in Kyoto.
The upright officials raised every year are loved by dignitaries, and of course the hard work behind them is indispensable.
This kind of thing, even during the Chinese New Year, her mother would not let her eat one.
Yun Xiaoning took the candied haws, carefully took a bite and put it in her mouth.
The sweet and sour taste explodes instantly.
Yun Xiaoning let out a satisfied sigh.
“It’s delicious!”
Seeing that her master liked him, Xiao Cui felt better.
She complained to Yun Xiaoning about the man she saw today.
"Sister, when I went out just now, I saw a very strange man at the stone lion at the back door."
Seeing her frown, Yun Xiaoning asked curiously: "What, you have a crush on him?"
Xiaocui hurriedly shook his head: "How is that possible? I just think he is very strange. In this season, he is wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket in tatters. He is wearing very little underneath. He is sitting motionless on the stone lion. Those who didn’t know thought he was dead.”
Yun Xiaoning swallowed a mouthful of candied haws and said, "Isn't this strange?"
Xiao Cui shook her head and said: "No, no, it's very strange. That man is very tall and thin. Yue Qi is already tall enough. That man is much taller than Yue Qi. He is very thin. Sitting there There, it's just like a bamboo pole falling over."
"That's nothing. The strangest thing is that such a big man is holding an old rattle in his left hand and a bulging bag on his right hand. It looks like..."
She hesitated for a moment, as if remembering something.
"I don't know where I got the wooden doll from!"
Yun Xiaoning: "..."
This outfit can no longer be said to be strange, it is simply sick.
No normal person would wear something like that.
She was stunned and said, "He must be a beggar."
"Don't pay attention to him. He has hands and feet. If he doesn't make a living on his own, he insists on coming to the door of the Marquis' Mansion to beg for food. Just ignore him."
Xiaocui nodded.
In another room.
Gu Canghan was holding open the dark window, listening carefully to the sounds in the duty room.
Hearing Xiao Cui's description, he frowned slightly.
The outfit, especially the rattle in his hand, sounded like a person.
Then he shook his head, impossible.
He has been imprisoned for decades and must not appear at the gate of the Hou Mansion.
The long night slowly.
This hateful woman didn't even mention herself at all.
She kept saying she loved him during the day, but it was all lies!
Gu Canghan lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
Until late at night.
He dreamed about the scene again.
Countless assassins chased him.
He was sweating profusely.
He ran forward desperately.
Until the edge of a cliff.
He looked desperately at the pool at the bottom of the cliff, looked back at the chasing assassin, and felt desperate inside.
"ah!!!"
The roar of pain spread throughout the cliff.
Just when he was about to fall, Yun Xiaoning's face suddenly appeared in the sky.
she called softly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Gu Canghan woke up instantly.
Looking around, he was already in his study.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and remained silent for a long time.
This was the first time that Yue Qi did not appear during the nightmare.
Gu Canghan felt a chill in his heart.
Yun Xiaoning belongs to the old lady, and her relationship with Gu Mohan is still unknown.
It is absolutely not allowed for such a dangerous woman to stay by his side and affect his daily life.
Gu Canghan no longer felt sleepy.
The second day.
Yun Xiaoning woke up and still felt she had no appetite.
Then he asked Xiaocui to go to the street and buy a candied haws.
Waiting for Xiaocui to come back.
Bringing surprising news.
Yang Zhenzhu was kidnapped!
The Yang family is an upstart.
Who dares to abduct Yang Zhenzhu in the confines of Kyoto, under the eyes of the emperor?
Nowadays, the whole city of Kyoto is under martial law, and the officials have dispatched many people to search for Yang Zhenzhu's whereabouts.
Xiaocui hurried back to Yun Xiaoning's duty room.
Close the curtains and close the doors and windows.
She said mysteriously: "Sister, don't worry about the Yang family's seven-day appointment, Yang Pearl is missing!"
Yun Xiaoning was startled.
"You said Yang Pearl is missing?"
"How can it be?"
Xiaocui said firmly: "The news is conclusive, notices are posted everywhere in the city now, looking for Yang Zhenzhu!"
"I heard that I went to the street to buy the latest styles of skirts with my sisters at home, and went into the inner room to try on clothes. In just a blink of an eye, the person disappeared. The owner of the shop had been beaten to half death. What are you talking about? I didn’t even ask.”
Yun Xiaoning was shocked.
She recalled Gu Canghan's casual words yesterday, you can't die.
I thought to myself: "Could it be him?"
However, this idea was quickly dismissed by her.
Absolutely impossible.
It is impossible for a dog man to abduct Yang Zhenzhu for her, a servant of Yihongyuan.
He could solve the problem just by moving himself into the house. How could he ask someone to kidnap Yang Zhenzhu?
Xiao Cui said harshly: "Let her use the Yang family to bully the young lady. This is someone doing justice for God, and she deserves it!"
"We have to let her suffer!"
Yun Xiaoning sighed: "I'm afraid Yang Zhenzhu won't survive."
Xiaocui was puzzled: "Yang Zhenzhu is the most arrogant daughter of the Yang family. She is very favored in the palace. She doesn't even have to go to the palace to choose a concubine and let her sister take her place. It can be imagined that she What kind of status does she have in the Yang family, not to mention that her sister is now a noble concubine. With such a big news, Yang Zhenzhu will definitely come back safely."
Yun Xiaoning shook her head: "No, no matter whether she can come back safely or not, she will not survive."
"If the Yang family is still the old Yang family, a small family, and the women are kidnapped by thieves, even if they lose their innocence, they can still buy more dowries and send them to distant relatives, marry a scholar, and still live a good life. .”
"But now Yang Zhenzhu's sister is the beloved concubine of the current Holy Emperor. With such a prominent family background, no matter whether the woman in the family has lost her innocence or not, as long as she is kidnapped, she has encountered something unexpected. It would be fine if she died outside. If she comes back, I'm afraid What we are facing is even more despairing than being in the hands of thieves."
Xiaocui's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "Could it be that the Yang family would let Yang Pearl commit suicide?"
Yun Xiaoning nodded solemnly.
If Yang Zhenzhen escapes from the thieves alive, she will face a different situation.
Xiaocui stopped talking.
Although Yang Zhenzhu was guilty, thinking that she was a woman and something unexpected happened to her, she actually wanted to kill herself again for the sake of the so-called family face.
Both of them couldn't help but lament the unfairness of fate.
This world.
A woman's chastity is supreme.
Especially those women from high-ranking families.
For the first time, Xiaocui no longer envied those young ladies.
In the evening.
Xiaocui found out the latest news.
Yang Zhenzhu is back.
He was loaded into a carriage and sent to the gate of Yang's house.
The driver has disappeared.
Only Yang Zhenzhu’s body was left.
All the clothes on her body were torn to pieces, leaving only a few strips of cloth covering her key parts. Her legs were bent and could not be stabilized no matter how hard she pressed.
According to rumors, passers-by who saw her on the street said that she had been played with by many men before and after her death, which is why her legs looked like this.
His eyes were wide-eyed, and he was greatly frightened before he died.
The death was extremely horrific.
When Xiaocui passed the news to Yun Xiaoning, yesterday's happy grudges were gone.
Even a little scared.
Majestic Kyoto.
The beloved concubine's sister was bullied to death, and even the murderer could not be found.
No one knows who did it.
Yun Xiaoning warned: "Don't go out on the streets these days, and you're not allowed to buy candied haws, it's too dangerous."
Xiao Cui nodded.
The next few days.
Yun Xiaoning has been lying in the duty room recovering from her injuries.
The dog man never visited her once.
On the other hand, Chen Xiaoran, the medical doctor Chen often appears.
He regularly changes Yun Xiaoning's dressing.
The dressing changes have become more and more painful in the past few days.
Yun Xiaoning was very dissatisfied and muttered: "Mr. Chen, after many days of treatment, it's better to be beaten. It hurts so much. Please give me some more medicine for that day."
Chen Xiaoran carefully played with her injured buttocks, and his hands became lighter and lighter: "The medicine that day was very expensive. I, a little imperial doctor, don't have it. You have to go to the eldest son."
Yun Xiaoning was startled and asked, "You mean Gu Mohan?"
Chen Xiaoran replied: "Yes! I have never used the medicine that day, so where can I find it?"
Yun Xiaoning sighed: "The eldest son is better. Doctor Chen, do you also think that the eldest son is much better than that Gu Canghan?"
Chen Xiaoran remained silent.
Not answering.
Yun Xiaoning asked again: "Mr. Chen, is the eldest son's room in the mansion the best place to go?"
Chen Xiaoran remained silent.
Yun Xiaoning kept to himself and continued: "The lady Qin Niang in the big room is doing well, she is the gentlest in the Hou Mansion. If I can be a common roommate with her, the young master is gentle, it will definitely be a good place."
Chen Xiaoran raised his head to look at her, and finally said leisurely: "No one can be judged by his appearance, but you are just a fool. If the second young master hadn't protected you, I would have died a long time ago."
When Yun Xiaoning heard this, he was furious: "Gu Canghan? He's protecting me? Humph!"
When did that bitch man protect her?
When she was beaten, when her life was almost taken away, when did you protect her?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Chen Xiaoran took out some candied fruits and prepared many new decoctions and handed them to Xiaocui.
"After cooking it, it won't be so bitter if you eat it with candied fruits."
Yun Xiaoning looked at his profile.
Like that benefactor.
Especially the way the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, they are exactly the same.
Yun Xiaoning's brain twitched, she took Chen Xiaoran's hand and asked, "Mr. Chen, have you looked at the stars again recently?"
Chen Xiaoran didn't react for a moment and stayed where he was.
What a coincidence.
At this time, the door of the house "squeaked...".
Yun Xiaoning and Chen Xiaoran looked towards the door together.
A man appeared at the door of the house with a stern face.
Gu Canghan!
