Second-hand lady

Chapter 156

The sky was faintly shining, and a touch of fish-belly white appeared on the edge of the sky, and the light in the whole world was dim.

Wen Yanping suddenly woke up from the dream, dripping with cold sweat, gasping for breath, staring blankly at the front with slack eyes, repeating everything in the dream over and over again in his mind, suddenly couldn't help but choked up, two lines Tears fell.

"Father... Mother..." She sobbed, with a low sobbing sound in her throat, desperate and sad.

At this time, there was a sound of fine footsteps, and they stopped in front of the bed.The visitor didn't open the curtain rashly, but asked hesitantly, "Master Wen, are you awake?"

The strange voice cleared her chaotic mind a lot, and only then did she realize that the place she was in was a little strange.Quickly wiping away the traces on his face with his sleeve, Wen Yanping opened the curtain of the bed, looked at the maidservant standing in front of the bed in the light of the morning light, and suddenly remembered that this was a girl from Ji's mansion.She often comes to Ji's mansion, and sometimes she gets tired from learning martial arts with her master, and it's not uncommon for her to take a rest in Ji's mansion, so she can recognize the maids in Ji's mansion.

She was in the Ji Mansion...Suddenly, Wen Yanping remembered what happened last night, and his face turned pale.

Last night, after Xiang Qingchun was sent to Ji's mansion, there was another flurry. The doctor Ji and his wife who had already rested were called up to treat Xiang Qingchun.The place where Xiang Qingchun was hit by the arrow was too dangerous, and if he was not careful, his heart might be torn, so those guards did not dare to pull the arrow for him.She was in a daze at the time, just watching everyone busy, until Doctor Ji personally pulled the arrow for Xiang Qingchun, the gushing blood stained her face again, and then... nothing more.

The memory was blank, which made her startled. She hurriedly grabbed the hand of the maid in front of the bed and asked, "Where is my Senior Brother Xiang? How is he?"

The servant girl was hurt by her strength, her face was distorted, and she couldn't speak for a while, "Master Wen, you, you..."

Wen Yanping was afraid of hearing bad news at this time, and he didn't have the patience to listen to her hesitation, so he shook off her hand, grabbed the outer robe hanging on the screen, casually put it on, and rushed out.

In the morning light, the servants who got up early in the Ji Mansion were working quietly, and then they were knocked aside by someone who was blowing by like a gust of wind. At first, they thought it was some rash servant who was about to curse, but found that the person who bumped into them rushed straight Xiang Keyuan's back was quite familiar, so he was a bit considerate, which also benefited from Wen Yanping's good popularity in Ji's mansion.

With a bang, the door was pushed open loudly, Wen Yanping rushed in, and rushed straight to the bed. Seeing the pale and lifeless person in the bed, he tremblingly stretched out his hand and put it under his nose, and then rushed to the bed with a wow. He cried loudly on his body: "Fox spirit, don't die, come back to life quickly, I will listen to you in everything from now on..."

"..."

The maid who was dozing outside was still a little dazed when she was awakened by the sound of the door opening, but when she heard the loud cry, she was stunned and frightened at the same time.How could it be dead?Didn't their master say that there is no serious problem?As long as you prevent wound infection and fever, people will be fine...

Just as the maid Liushenwuzhu and Wen Yanping were crying, a weak voice sounded: "It hurts to death, I'm still alive..."

"..."

Wen Yanping raised his head abruptly. With blurred tears, he saw the painful expression of the man who opened his eyes. His face was distorted, his face covered with cold sweat, and he stared at her with red eyes. He bit out a sentence: "You are pressing my wound." Do you really want me to die?"

Wen Yanping yelled, and quickly jumped away, his eyes widened in fright, with an expression of "you're really not dead".

Xiang Qingchun couldn't stand up, staring at his red eyes, thinking that even if he didn't die, he would be pissed to death by this brat.However, when she rushed over again, arching her head into the hollow of his shoulder and crying, she could only forcefully raise her right hand to touch her head, and said softly, "Don't cry, I'm fine..."

Wen Yanping cried for a long time, crying until Xiang Qingchun's original pity became irritable.A loved one crying so aggrieved that even a man would be so distressed to death, but he said that she was still crying, and after crying so much that his heart ached to death, she was also angry. Was she trying to make him feel so distressed to death?

Just when Xiang Qingchun was enduring physical and mental pain, two figures, one big and one small, walked in. The maid who had been stunned for a long time saw this, and hurried over to say hello, "Ma'am, Miss."

Mrs. Ji nodded coldly, came over with a tray of medicine, touched the head of the crying man who was still buried on the bed, and said to Xiang Qingchun: "Master Xiang, it's time to take the medicine."

Xiang Qingchun was so seriously injured that he couldn't get up by himself, so he could only lie on the bed and say to Mrs. Ji: "Mrs. Ji, thank you for your hard work."

Wen Yanping raised his face, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, seeing Mrs. Ji, he pursed his lips and called out: "Master."

Mrs. Ji glanced at the clothes she had put on indiscriminately, and she could see the exquisite curves of the woman under the outer robe. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the young man on the bed obviously also noticed this.

The maid woke up and fetched water to wash her face, and the five-year-old girl who came with Mrs. Ji took her hand shyly and said, "Brother don't cry, dad said Brother Xiang is fine."

Wen Yanping sniffled, forced a smile at the cute little girl, and said, "Yes, I know, thank you, Boo Boo." After wiping his face with the hot towel handed over by the maid, he turned around and saw that Xiang Qingchun had been beaten. He sat up with help, with a big welcome pillow behind him, and slowly drank the medicine with the medicine bowl in his hand.

Wen Yanping dragged his junior sister to the bed, and asked in a low voice: "Master, he will be fine, right?"

Mrs. Ji nodded lightly, there was no extra emotion on her cold face, but it was this indifferent and calm attitude that never surprised Wen Yan's mind.

When Xiang Qingchun finished drinking the medicine, he saw the little girl who came with Mrs. Ji holding a small jar and said shyly, "Brother Xiang, eat candy~" The little girl's voice was soft and very soft. It's so cute, it's heartbreaking to hear.

"Thank you Boo Boo."

Xiang Qingchun responded with a smile, and didn't take away the little guy's kindness.The little guy's name is Ji Baishao, and his nickname is Bubu. He is the jewel in the palm of Ji's mansion, but he is as shy as his father, so he is very lovable.As for whether he succeeded his father or not, everyone in the capital is watching.

After Xiang Qingchun finished taking the medicine, Mrs. Ji gave a few instructions to pay attention to, and took the medicine bowl and took her daughter away.Last night, Imperial Physician Ji didn't rest all night, Mrs. Ji took her daughter to rest first because she couldn't help, and when she got up in the morning, she took over the work of Imperial Physician Ji and took care of the patients herself.

After Mrs. Ji left, Wen Yanping sat down in front of the bed again.Xiang Qingchun lay back on the bed, his head was a little dizzy, and seeing her staring at him without blinking, he felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help asking: "What are you looking at?"

"See if you're dead," she said with great honesty.

The blue veins twitched violently, Xiang Qingchun almost vomited blood in anger, this girl is so speechless, I really want to beat her up.But when she heard what she said next, she was only filled with pity.

"I, I want to keep an eye on you, as if you don't want to be like my father. He was shot by a bandit and no one healed him. That's it..."

Xiang Qingchun's expression softened a little, he had a delicate mind and a flexible head, and quickly understood her various strange behaviors from yesterday to today, sighed inwardly, pulled her over, touched her swollen eyelids, and said: "I was very scared last night. Right? You..." He thought about it and said, "They dare to assassinate, death is not a pity, don't take it to heart."

Last night, his eyes never left her, and he naturally saw her dazed expression when facing the corpses after she killed someone. It was the first time he killed someone, and he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the test. He was afraid that he would wait for her to recover When I think of that scene, I don't know how frightened and sad it is.

Unexpectedly, she lowered her head and said for a while, "I don't feel bad. I killed someone when I was seven years old."

"..."

Xiang Qingchun didn't know what to say for a moment, he patted her head again and sighed.

"The man I killed, he not only killed my father, but also insulted my mother. In order to get revenge, I have been carefully accompanying them. They thought I was a child who didn't understand anything, and I would never hide anything. Me, I will do whatever they ask me to do. I have done a lot of outrageous things and hurt many innocent people. Until one day, they went to rob and kill a caravan, but they didn’t expect that the guards of the caravan were very skilled in martial arts. He came back in defeat, and many people died at the same time. That person was injured, and he could have escaped, but I took the opportunity to kill him..."

Her voice was calm, but she looked like she was about to cry.

She was adopted by Wen Liang and his wife when she was eight years old. Before she was eight years old, she heard that she was the daughter of a hunter in the mountains. Besides, no one knew what she had experienced before she was eight years old. Everything about her before she was eight years old was erased by Wen Liang.At first, he only thought that she was the daughter of a hunter in the mountains, and her ancestors burned high incense to be adopted by a well-known wise man as the adopted son, and her net worth soared.Although I guessed that there was a cause and effect, I didn't know that it would be so tragic.

The person she was talking about was probably one of the bandits who robbed Wen Liang and his party in Ronghua Temple back then.

In this way, Xiang Qingchun quickly figured out everything about her, and also somewhat understood why she was so resistant to marrying.After going through such a thing, I have an instinctive resistance to men, and I am very persistent in martial arts, because that can protect myself. I only want to be a man to travel around and be free, and I don’t want to experience the suffering of my mother again as a woman.Although it is a bit overkill, it is also one of her knots.

All of a sudden, I was a little thankful that I had been by her side all these years, so that she got used to my existence, and didn't resist his approach just because I was a man. Even brotherhood was better than a rejection.

In just a short moment, Xiang Qingchun thought a lot, couldn't help but smiled at her, and said: "I'm fine, you're tired too, go and rest for a while." As he spoke, his eyes slipped down on her skirt, At the same time, she was distressed and satisfied, and she thought she was panicked, so she ran over in such a disheveled manner, and didn't even care if the woman's identity was discovered.

After venting for a while, Wen Yanping finally calmed down and knew that he was not doing well. With his soft voice to comfort him, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. Seeing that he was obviously extremely tired, he still tried his best to comfort himself. Some feel sad.

After Xiang Qingchun fell asleep completely, she also left quietly.

At noon, Wen Liang came to visit Xiang Qingchun together with Ru Cui and the triplets after going down to court.

Rucui originally wanted to come here early in the morning, but she knew that she would disturb their rest because she came too early, so she held back.When they arrived at Ji's mansion, they heard that Wen Yanping was still sleeping, and couldn't help but feel distressed again, and hurried over to see her.

Wen Yanping fainted suddenly last night, which scared them enough. Later, she found out that she was emotional and couldn't stand the stimulation for a while, so she fainted and felt relieved.But both Ru Cui and Wen Liang knew that Xiang Qingchun's injury probably awakened the little girl's painful childhood memories, so the reaction was so severe.It was also because she was unconscious that she was allowed to rest in Jifu.

But he looked at the little girl who was still sleeping, and knew from Jifu's servants that she had woken up for a while in the morning, so they didn't call her.

When Wen Liang came to visit, Xiang Qingchun woke up again on the way, and Wen Liang also told him what happened last night.Those abductees and their accomplices were all escorted to the Yamen by the guards of Anyang Prince's Mansion. The abducted children also contacted their parents to claim them today after finding out their identities.In addition, those assassins who robbed and killed them in front of the woods were found to be sent by the Japanese.

Since the founding of the Great Chu, the Japanese have harassed the coast from time to time. Because the Wa Kingdom and the Great Chu are across the sea, and the land is barren and the food production is limited, the Great Chu Dynasty has always looked down on such a barren land, so there is no Thought about making a move on the Japanese.Until Emperor Chongde came to power, he silently paid attention to the countries around Dachu, and dealt with North Vietnam, the century-old enemy, and then began to deal with other restless neighboring countries. The king of Anyang hated the king of Anyang several times, and they acted rashly last night, maybe they didn't mean to kill the prince of Anyang for revenge.

After understanding the ins and outs, Xiang Qingchun stopped paying attention and began to heal his wounds with peace of mind.

Due to the seriousness of his injuries, Xiang Qingchun stayed in Ji's mansion for five days before returning home to recuperate.During these five days, many people came to Jifu to visit him, even the eldest prince sent someone to give gifts to him.

During these five days, Xiang Qingchun also got to know the people in Ji's mansion well, and at the same time, he heard a lot about Wen Yanping from Mrs. Ji who seemed indifferent but caring, and the more he knew, the more he knew. The more he felt uncomfortable, the more obsessed he was, and he absolutely wanted to marry the little girl back home.

During the recovery period, Xiang Qingchun's attitude towards Wen Yanping was the same as usual, which made Wen Yanping feel much better.This time, Xiang Qingchun was a hero, and Wen Yanping was really moved. He felt that this brother was very worthwhile. He owed Xiang Qingchun's life-saving grace, and there was nothing in return. If he needed anything in the future, she would go through fire and water. .

The corner of Xiang Qingchun's mouth twitched, who wants you to go through fire and water?What he prefers is another way of repaying gratitude.

Regarding the little girl's stubbornness, Xiang Qingchun was already prepared in his heart. When his injury was almost healed, he finally said to the little girl who came to his house to eat, drink, and look at the beauties: "Wen Yanping, in a few days, I will let you Parents go to the official media to propose marriage to the teacher."

Wen Yanping was peeling a tangerine. After hearing his words, the whole citrus fell to the ground and rolled away.
