In troubled times, the daughter-in-law returns

Chapter 108
Besides, this might be Mu Xue's only friend.

Sikong Ye's heart softened, and he said: "Go and rest, I will take care of her tonight."

An Ran stubbornly shook her head, "Young City Master is very tired after a busy day, let me do it, I...Young City Master, look, I take good care of Sister Xue!"

Sikong Ye looked over and saw that Mu Xue's face was no longer the blush in the high fever state, and she was much quieter.There is a faint fragrance in the room, which makes people feel very comfortable.

He is satisfied.

"I asked you to rest so that you can take better care of her tomorrow. If she wakes up and sees you collapsed, wouldn't she blame this Young Master?"

This made An Ran unable to refute, so she reluctantly walked out.

Sikong Ye took the towel prepared by An Ran, wiped Mu Xue's forehead and face, as well as the soles of her hands and feet, and checked her temperature. Although it was still on the high side, there was no serious problem, and it would probably return to normal tomorrow.

After all, she wasn't that kind of delicate woman, Mu Xue's recovery ability was quite strong.

After a busy day, his body hadn't fully recovered, and Sikong Ye was also very tired, but he was afraid that Mu Xue might need something suddenly, so he didn't take off his coat, so he just lay down next to Mu Xue with all his clothes on, naturally wrapping her in his arms , closed his eyes.

Not knowing when he fell asleep, Sikong Ye fell into a dream.

He didn't know why, he knew very well that he was dreaming, but he couldn't get out of it.

He dreamed of the fire in the Andinghou Mansion that year.

In fact, when the accident happened in the Marquis of Anding's mansion, neither he nor his father were in Yecheng. It was because Marquis Anding was in charge of Yecheng that his father took him out with confidence.

So he never witnessed the disaster with his own eyes.

But in the dream, he saw with his own eyes that the towering and majestic Marquis of Anding was engulfed in flames in an instant. Everyone was struggling and crying in the fire, but none of them managed to escape.

He also saw a little girl in a corner, the originally beautiful brocade dress on her body had been burnt into disrepair, and she was crawling little by little on the ground with surging flames.

The eyes that were originally as clear as spring water were full of fear and desire to survive.That was Xiao Yunqing.

The little mouth, which was dry and chapped due to lack of water, opened and closed, as if shouting something, but he couldn't hear anything clearly.

He wanted to carry Xiao Yunqing out of the fire, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier between him and the dream, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through it, and he couldn't save the little girl who was gradually engulfed by the flames.

"Qingqing!" He cried out in pain, subconsciously tightened his arms, felt the warm body in his arms, and instantly woke up from the dream.

In fact, Xiao Yunqing had never entered his dream once in the past ten years, and he didn't know why he suddenly had such a dream this time.

After a brief daze, he turned his head to look at Mu Xue in his arms.

Mu Xue was still in a deep sleep, and her breath, which was scorching hot, no longer had such a high temperature.

He reached out to fetch water from the table next to the bed, drank some by himself, and fed some to Mu Xue before falling asleep again.

But this time, no matter what, I couldn't fall asleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, the scene of the lively and willful little girl being instantly engulfed by the sea of ​​flames was too shocking!
He kept touching Mu Xue's forehead, testing her temperature, and felt that she was fine, so he got up lightly, and kissed her forehead.

Just now in his arms, Mu Xue sweated a lot, so he fetched hot water and came back, wiped Mu Xue's body, changed her into a set of dry clothes, and then got up and went out.

Before dawn, there are still stars twinkling in the sky.

He stood at the door for a while, then walked towards the cardamom courtyard.

He had always known that it was very pitiful for Xiao Yunqing to die tragically in the fire that year, and to have no soul for so many years.But it has never been as shocking as this dream.

Out of pity for such a little girl, he felt that it was necessary for him to take this trip.

There are only a few sporadic lights in the Cardamom Courtyard, and the whole courtyard is shrouded in tranquility.

He didn't want to disturb others, so he didn't knock on the door, and went directly over the wall and went straight to Lan Kexin's bedroom.

Yu Ning took care of Lan Kexin personally, and she was the one who stayed in her room all night.

As a person who has been carefully cultivated, Yu Ning's vigilance is still very high. She woke up with a start when Sikong Ye entered the room, her sleeves drooped, and a pair of short knives appeared in her hands.

Afraid of alarming Lan Kexin, she lowered her voice and asked, "Who is it?"

Sikong Ye said flatly, "It's me."

Yu Ning was startled, she really didn't expect the young city lord to come over at this time, this was unprecedented, so she hurriedly put away the dagger and turned on the lamp.

Sikong Ye stepped in, staring at the pink and purple curtain hanging down on the lacquered bed, and asked softly, "How is she?"

Yu Ning shook her head, "Girls are a bit spoiled, and after a scene of trouble, seeing no one pays attention, she made her temper refuse to eat, but later she couldn't help being hungry, so she asked the small kitchen to cook for her.

"The girl is also a child at heart, young city master, don't take it to heart, she will be fine soon."

Sikong Ye heard that the sleeping person in the tent was breathing irregularly, so he knew that she had woken up, and couldn't help raising his voice slightly: "I don't have a younger sister, she is my own younger sister, a brother doesn't care about his younger sister at all." nothing."

Lan Kexin pinched her fingers hard into her palm, sister?younger sister? !Why did it suddenly change!When she didn't have to feel wronged to act as two people before, Sikong Ye wanted to marry Xiao Yunqing!
Why did he become Xiao Yunqing, but he regarded himself as his younger sister instead!
Sikong Ye didn't know the resentment in Lan Kexin's heart at the moment, and said to Yu Ning: "Take good care of her. These years...she has suffered a lot.

"However, in addition to providing her with food and clothing, we must also teach her well and make up for the years she has lost."

Yu Ning respectfully agreed.

Sikong Ye stood still for a while, then looked over to the curtain again, "Qingqing, what are you going to say to brother?"

The curtain was ripped open with a "hula", Lan Kexin grabbed a pillow and threw it towards Sikong Ye, crying, "Go! Go! I don't want to see you again!"

Yu Ning had quick hands and quick eyes, and she had already copied the pillow in her hand while it was still in the air, and at the same time broke out in a cold sweat. No one in Yecheng dared to be so disrespectful to the young city lord.

I sneaked a look at Sikong Ye's expression, and seeing that he didn't seem to be angry, my hanging heart felt more at ease.

Lan Kexin lost a pillow, so she choked and cried, "I'm not your sister! I don't want to be your sister! Uncle Sikong has already said, I'm your wife! A daughter-in-law and a younger sister are Totally different!"
