swear not to be concubine

Chapter 134

After Jian Yan returned to the Xinyi Pavilion, she sat on the wooden kang by the window, propped her chin in one hand, and held the soft satin embroidered shoes that Nie Qingniang had just given her in the other, with a smile on her lips, staring blankly in a daze.

In my heart, it's like drinking honey, I just feel sweet.

The top-quality pink brocade is embroidered with pink and purple magnolia flowers, and the stitches and stitches show its care.

It is said that every inch of brocade is precious, but Nie Qingniang actually used it to make her a pair of soft satin embroidered shoes.What's more, each toe is inlaid with such a round pearl the size of a thumb. The value of this pair of soft satin embroidered shoes can be imagined.

She felt that she would be reluctant to wear such a precious pair of shoes, and she must treasure them.

At this moment, Si Yue was serving tea on a small tray filled with lacquer and gold and placed it on the kang table in front of her. Seeing Jian Yan, she just smiled and looked down at the soft satin embroidered shoes in her hand, so she also lowered her head to look at it. .

She was surprised when she saw it.

Such a big round pearl, the wife is willing to inlay it on the girl's embroidered shoes.

So Si Yue sighed sincerely: "Girl, madam is really kind to you."

Jian Yan raised her head, with a clear smile in her eyes: "Yes. Mother is really kind to me."

It's really nice to have a girl like that.

From the guilt and fear in her heart at the beginning to the touch and closeness now, Jian Yan has slowly begun to have a feeling.

She is Li Nianyan, the daughter who is connected with Nie Qingniang's blood.

After transmigrating to this other world, for the first ten years or so, she would feel that she was walking on thin ice every day, and she just felt that there was nothing in this world that she could miss.But now, she has Xu Zhongxuan, Nie Qingniang, and Li Xin, and she feels how generous God is to her.

With such a joyful mood, Jian Yan also prepared to go to bed and rest for a while.

Kasuga was already sleepy, not to mention her mood was ups and downs today.

It was Li Nianlan's words in the morning that made her feel as if she had fallen off a cliff, but then Nie Qingniang told her so firmly that she had found a way that would never let her replace Wen'an County Lord and marry far away to the northwest. Just reassure her.

So Jian Yan believed it.

Unknowingly, she believed Nie Qingniang's words in this way.Because in her heart, she had long regarded Nie Qingniang as her own mother.

A child with a mother is a treasure.Even though Nie Qingniang seemed to be such a weak person, Jian Yan felt that whenever she stood beside her, she was the big umbrella that shielded herself from all the cold wind and rain.It seems that in front of her, I don't need to be so strong, I just need to rely on her and be a carefree and happy child.So since Nie Qingniang said that there is a way to stop that incident, Jian Yan took it for granted.

With a smile on her lips, she fell asleep vaguely, and at the same time, she was thinking in her heart, what kind of method did she think of, to be so sure?

She didn't know how long she had been asleep, but Jian Yan seemed to see Nie Qingniang in a daze.

She was still wearing the garnet-red double-breasted cloak with the pattern of walnuts, and the moon-white horse-face skirt with flowers.

It was cloudy and rainy outside the house, she lifted the corner of her skirt lightly, and stepped in from the door.

Even though she was standing against the light, Jian Yan could still clearly see that her face was as beautiful and elegant as the water and moon in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was a gentle and elegant smile between her brows and eyes.

"Yan'er," her voice was gentle and soft, like broken jade in the wind. "Mother is gone. From now on, both you and Xin'er will be fine, so Mother can rest assured."

The string of pearl tassels held in the mouth of the phoenix hairpin on her temples swayed back and forth gently when she spoke, and with the slight smile on her face, she looked so elegant and elegant.

Jian Yan only felt that her heart was raised in her throat.She wanted to call mother, and also wanted to get up and pull her, but something seemed to block her throat, she couldn't speak, her whole body was stiff, and she couldn't move a single finger.

So she could only watch helplessly as Nie Qingyan smiled and nodded at her, then turned around, her clothes fluttered, and her figure was as light as a butterfly, and just walked out of her room lightly.

The mist in the courtyard was light, and the orange gauze wrapped around her arms dragged on the ground, and finally gradually disappeared, and her figure could no longer be seen.

Jian Yan suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

She just felt that once Nie Qingniang left like this, she would never see her again.

Tears poured out, and she seemed to break free from all restraints in an instant, stood up and sat up, and shouted: "Mother."

Si Yue was originally serving outside the house, but she suddenly heard Jian Yan's heart-piercing cry inside the house, she was shocked and hurried in to have a look.

So she saw Jian Yan sitting on the bed, with tears all over her face, she was in a daze.

"Girl." Si Yue jumped, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you? What nightmare?"

At this moment, Jian Yan only felt that her whole body was covered with sweat, which soaked her pale green undershirt.

Why would she have such a dream?And this dream is so clear and real?

Suddenly, Jian Yan thought of something.

Nie Qingniang told her with such certainty that she had a way to prevent her from marrying far away. What kind of way did she think of in such a short period of time, so she could be so sure?Moreover, she dressed up so deliberately and said such things to herself and Li Xin, she felt weird at the beginning, but she was crossed by Nie Qingniang several times when she wanted to ask, but now thinking about what happened today This series of things...

Jian Yan suddenly felt as if she was struck by a thunderbolt, her whole body froze there, and her face became pale in an instant.

Standing in front of the bed in Si Yue, Jian Yan was stunned for a while, but then she didn't know what she thought of, her eyes were straightened, and her complexion suddenly turned pale.She was so frightened that her heart was beating wildly, and the words she asked were all crying: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Jian Yan pursed her lips tightly and didn't answer, but stretched out her hand to uncover the quilt, and was about to get out of bed in a hurry.

It's just that my heart was really flustered, and my whole body was trembling. Although my feet fell on the ground, they seemed to be stepping on cotton, limp and weak.

Seeing that she was about to jump forward, Siyue hurriedly reached out to support her.

"Girl," Siyue's anxious tears came down, "Don't scare me. What's wrong with you?"

He shouted loudly again: "Ting Tong, Ting He, Ting Feng, Ting Mei, come quickly."

Just now I heard that the four of Tong Tong and the others saw Jian Yan go to bed to take a nap, some of them also went back to the house to rest for a while, and some took advantage of this gap to visit the garden with friends and friends, so this April He yelled twice as loudly, and only Ting Feng walked in.

There were already two lines of tears on Siyue's fair face, seeing Ting Feng coming in, she hurriedly said: "Sister Ting Feng, come and have a look, girl, I don't know what's wrong."

Ting Feng hurried forward, seeing that Jian Yan's complexion was whiter than rice paper, and full of tears, she was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

While helping Jian Yan to sit on the edge of the bed, she said to Siyue: "Go and tell the little maid, and tell the servants outside to invite the doctor."

Just now, Jian Yan only felt heart-wrenching pain, her heart was suffocated, and she seemed to be dazed for a moment, she could only cry and couldn't think about anything.But when she came back to her senses, she bit her tongue fiercely and tried her best to calm herself down. Then she stopped Si Yue who was running out, and only said: "No need to ask Doctor, come quickly and help me get dressed. I'm going to my mother's place."

Although she is now the daughter of the Duke of the Kingdom and the Lord of Le'an Township, she has come to do things like dressing herself. If it weren't for the whole body trembling and weakness, she would not want April To help her dress.

After listening to Si Yue, she hurriedly turned around and ran back, and in a panic, she took the pink dark floral satin cape with a lapel on one side of the hanger and put it on for Jian Yan, and brought an orange pleated skirt over. .

Ting Feng originally wanted to comb Jian Yan's hair, and put a few flowers and hairpins on her bun—just now when Jian Yan was taking a nap, she had already taken off all the jewelry on her bun—but Jian Yan But I can't wait.

"Don't worry about this," she said very fast, "follow me to Ya'anju."

He turned around and walked out.

Siyue and Tingfeng looked at each other, wondering why the girl was tear-stained after waking up from a nap, she was so distraught, and she was so anxious to go to Ya'anju to see his wife.But it's too late to think about it now, the girl has already gone out, and the two of them have to hurry up to follow.

Jian Yan walked very fast, Si Yue and Ting Feng almost had to trot all the way to keep up with her.

Xinyi Pavilion is very close to Ya'an Juyuan, but it is just to go around a promenade, pass through a moon cave gate, and walk a few steps forward to see two rows of ginkgo trees in front of Ya'an Ju.

But Jian Yan felt that the road to Ya'anju was so far.

She walked hurriedly, just as she walked around the long corridor, she suddenly saw Qin Xin at the Moon Cave Gate.

When Qin Xin saw Jian Yan, she knelt down and called out with a trembling voice: "Girl."

And Jian Yan looked at Qin Xin who was kneeling in front of her with tears all over her face, and for a moment, she felt that the heart in her chest was about to stop beating.

Her hands hanging by her sides were tightly clutching the hem of her clothes, and her lips were tightly pressed together. Although her whole body was trembling, she looked like a leaf on a branch blown by the cold wind in late autumn, but she was stubborn He didn't ask Qin Xin for half a word.

It seems that as long as she doesn't ask Qin Xin, she will never hear that sentence from Qin Xin's mouth.

But Qin Xin didn't understand what she was thinking in her heart at the moment.

Qin Xin was also flustered.

Just now, Nanny Wei only said that it was getting late and she was about to go in and wake up his wife, but then everyone heard Nanny Wei screaming.

Nanny Wei is usually such a stable person, but at that meeting she screamed like that.She, Lan Xin and the others were all terrified at the time, and when they rushed in to have a look, they saw that Wei Wei was already limp on the ground, her eyes were straight, she was just looking at the lady on the bed, but she couldn't say a word. from.

Qin Xin didn't know what happened at the time.She just saw Madam clasping her hands in front of her chest, with her eyes closed, she seemed to be sleeping well, and she was still wondering why Madam Wei hadn't woken up when Nanny Wei screamed so loudly just now.

So she just focused on helping Nanny Wei, asking if Nanny Wei was okay.However, Nanny Wei grabbed her arm and said incoherently: "Madam, Madam, Qin Xin, Madam, she, she..."

Qin Xin still comforted her softly: "Nurse Wei, isn't Madam sleeping?"

Nanny Wei was so anxious that she shed tears, she only called Madam, she couldn't care about anything else, even though she was paralyzed on the ground, she still crawled to the edge of the bed with both hands and feet, and then she fell on the edge of the bed and began to cry bitterly, while using Hands beat the edge of the bed.

Only then did Qin Xin realize something was wrong.

Her heart started beating, and after looking at each other with Lan Xin who was standing beside her, they both walked to the bed lightly.

"Ma'am?" Qin Xin stood beside the bed, looking at Nie Qingniang who was motionless with her hands clasped in front of her chest, her eyes were closed, she felt her mouth was dry, and she called out in a low voice after a while.

But there was no answer.

At this time, Lan Xin suddenly grabbed her arm.

She turned her head and saw that Lan Xin's face was completely devoid of blood, and her lips were even trembling.

"Qin, Qin Xin, madam, madam, she..."

In fact, Qin Xin must have noticed that Nie Qingniang's chest and abdomen did not rise and fall.But seeing Nie Qingniang's rosy complexion, she didn't, and she really didn't dare to think about it.

But at this moment, Zi Lanxin had already knelt down, and all the little maids who came in with them also knelt down, and Wei Mama was crying there again, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, but in her heart After all, I also know that Nie Qingniang is dead.

The lady who was talking to the girl and the son of the world with such gentleness and gentleness just now, now she is lying here quietly dead.

Qin Xin's knees softened, and she knelt on the head of the bed, tears rolling down her face.

Nie Qingniang has always been a kind person. Ever since Qin Xin was transferred to Ya'anju for so many years, Nie Qingniang has never said anything harsh to her.Now, thinking of Nie Qingniang's soft-spoken appearance in the past, she couldn't help but feel that tears rolled out more and more.

When she was crying sadly, she felt that someone tugged on her sleeve, and at the same time, Lan Xin's crying voice rang beside her ears: "Sister Qin Xin, what should I do now?"

Next to Nie Qingniang are four maidservants, namely Qin Xin, Lan Xin, Su Xin, and Zhu Xin, among which Qin Xin has the highest status.And above the four of them is Mother Wei.Nanny Wei is in charge of all the affairs of this Ya'an residence.

It's just that right now, Nanny Wei is crying so much that she is about to pass out, since she can't be counted on, Lan Xin can only ask Qin Xin.

The madam has already gone, and the affairs behind her must be dealt with after all.And to deal with the affairs behind the madam, there must be someone in charge. What is the matter with all the maids in the room kneeling here and crying?
Hearing her question, Qin Xin tried her best to gather herself together, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Su Xin, go find Shi Ziye quickly, tell Shi Ziye that his wife has gone, and ask him to come here quickly. Zhuxin, you stay in the room for the time being, comfort Wei Mama, the other little maids are the same as usual, they should do whatever they want, but they are not allowed to leave here, in case they have something to order at any time."

Then she turned to Lan Xin again and ordered: "You go to the front yard to find the Duke, tell him what happened here, and ask him to come here quickly. As for me, I will go find the girl and tell the lady about the lady. Invite the girl to come here."

All the servant girls below took their orders, and Lan Xin and Zhu Xin also went out immediately, hurriedly looking for Li Xin and Li Yi respectively.And Qin Xin also went out to look for Jian Yan afterward.

It's just that she didn't expect that just after she left the Moon Cave Gate, she saw Jian Yan walking towards this side very quickly.

Looking at the face in front of her that looked very similar to his wife, Qin Xin couldn't hold back, her knees softened, and she knelt down facing Jian Yan.

"Girl," she cried so hard that she was out of breath, "Ma'am, Ma'am, she's gone."

When Jian Yan heard this, her already bloodless face would become even more pale.

She swayed a few times, as if she was about to fall down.Fortunately, she reached out her hand in time to support the vermilion pillar on the side corridor, and leaned against the pillar with her whole body, so she didn't fall down.

Si Yue and Ting Feng, who had been following her all this time, were also taken aback when they heard Qin Xin's words.Seeing Jian Yan's figure swaying afterward, the two rushed forward and supported her, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Girl." Tears welled up in April's eyes.She didn't know how to comfort Jian Yan for a while.After thinking about it, the only thing I could say was, "You have to hold on."

But I was thinking in my heart, how could the girl have such a hard life?A few years ago, Mrs. Jian lived such a life in Mrs. Jian's hands. Now that she has finally recognized her mother, Mrs. Guogong, how long has it been a good life, but this lady has gone?In the future, I will teach the girl who to rely on.

At this moment, she felt that Jian Yan, whom she was supporting, moved.

Jian Yan actually stood up straight at this meeting.

Although her face was white, but her eyes were strangely bright, which only made Si Yue who was watching from the sidelines horrified.

"I will hold on," Siyue could only hear her murmuring softly, "I will hold on. I will hold on."

Jian Yan can be sure that Nie Qingniang died for her.

Recently, Nie Qingniang's illness has been getting better and better, she will never die suddenly.And when I think about what happened this morning, Nie Qingniang's attire at lunch, the weird words she said to herself and Li Xin, and her affirmation that she Thinking of the words that could prevent her from marrying away to the Northwest instead of Wen'an County Lord, now that she thinks about it carefully, she clearly made a plan in her heart early in the morning, and she would use death to prevent her from marrying away to the Northwest from happening.

After she died, he had to keep the rules, no matter if it was the emperor or the queen mother, there was no way for him to marry far away to the northwest in place of Wen'an County Lord.

She died for herself.

Jian Yan's eyes were hot, her nose was sore, her chest felt like thousands of arrows piercing her heart, and the huge dull pain numb all parts of her body.

But even so, she had to hold on.She must hold on.She couldn't let Nie Qingniang die in vain like this.

She bit the tip of her tongue fiercely, and the taste of fishy sweet rust spread in her mouth.

Taking advantage of the severe pain on the tip of her tongue, Jian Yan tried her best to calm her mind.Then she shook off Siyue and Tingfeng who were supporting her, with a calm expression on her face, and strode towards the direction of Ya'anju.
