I heard that you are a scum

"Little guy, why are you here alone?"

"I……"

"Does it hurt to fall? A good child is not allowed to cry..."

"A Yuan, why do you care about him, he just got up from the ground, he is so dirty! If you hold him, don't touch me!"

"All right, leave him alone. I'll just hold your hand, okay?"

Saying so, the hand stretched out in front of him immediately retracted, and held the hand of another boy beside him.

He bit his lower lip tightly, stood on tiptoe, and desperately stretched his short arms, trying to grab that hand, but the owner of the hand had already led the person next to him and turned away without looking back at him.

He followed two steps, fell to the ground again, and didn't get up for a long time. The two walked farther and farther, and the surrounding environment became darker and darker as they walked further.He tried desperately to hold on to something to fill the hole in his heart until the darkness swallowed him completely—and he knew he couldn't hold onto anything.

A few teardrops fell from the corners of his eyes, and two soft words were squeezed out of his mouth——

"Don't... don't go..."

……

It was the second day when I woke up.

The emperor sent him back before the palace gate was locked.

Seeing that he woke up, Chuntao brought him the decoction that had been heated several times: "My lord, you have been drenched in the rain for a long time, and the cold air has seeped into your bones. Dr. Li came last night and said that your internal organs are exhausted." The injury is serious, and I have to stay in bed for a period of time.”

Duan Yannian swallowed the bitter medicine in one gulp, and sighed: "Where is the time to rest in bed now...cough cough...I'm fine...Is there any news from the prison?"

Chuntao took the empty bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "I knew you only cared about the affairs of the general's mansion. I asked Xiaoqi to inquire about it yesterday, and the higher-ups haven't issued an order yet, old lady." Jun and the others are not bad, they didn’t suffer much, I asked Xiao Qi to look at it for me, he gave some money to his brothers, and invited them to have a drink, no one has made things difficult for them yet.”

Xiaoqi is Chuntao's best friend, who worked as a errand in the prison, and became the head of the prison for a few years, and came out of the same township as Chuntao.

"Turn around and thank Xiao Qi for me, please trouble him."

"If there's any trouble, don't you bother!" Chuntao was a little unhappy when he heard him say that, "Is it troublesome to ask him to do something? Does he still want to marry me?!"

Duan Yan smiled youngly, "Are you in a hurry to get married now? You won't be able to stay in a female university... After this matter is over, I will be a matchmaker for you, so that you can get married in a good way."

"Who's in a hurry!" Chuntao's cheeks were blushing, she gave him a gouging look, and then ran out with the bowl.

Seeing her walking away, Duan Yannian's smile sank.

The emperor was clearly going to take the General's Mansion under his knife, if Cen Yuan was still alive, how dare he so blatantly punish the General's Mansion? ——Still in such a look that he is afraid that others will not know that he is going to kill the grass.

Chen Zeye is just a white-eyed wolf. Cen Yuan has pampered him for more than ten years, but he feels disgusted, and at the same time lowers his body to accommodate Cen Yuan, making Cen Yuan think that the two of them are in love and are willing to serve him. He Zhenyuan Dingbei.

Now that things have come to an end, it may be impossible for him to suddenly find out with his conscience that he has let go of the general's mansion. It seems... he can only think of other ways.

……

Because of the heavy rain yesterday, the prison was extremely humid and hot, and Xiao Qi and a few guards were lazily shaking their cattail fans.

The position of the prison head is good or bad, and it is quite leisurely on weekdays, and there is a lot of money, so it is also a good job for Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very energetic.

Seeing them coming, he immediately put down his fan and stood up, looking a little at a loss.

Chuntao stepped forward and pushed him, his face was flushed, he just scratched the back of his head and laughed.

The other jailers laughed and said, "Boss, your wife is coming to see you again!"

Xiao Qi kicked his ass, pretending to be angry and said: "Get out, get out first!"

After the other guards left, Xiao Qi led the two of them to the prison.

"Brother Xiao Qi, thank you very much." Duan Yannian cupped his hands to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi waved her hands again and again: "Don't, don't, don't thank me, Mr. Duan, you saved Chuntao, you are my savior, I thank you before it's too late."

Chun Tao also smiled and said: "That's right, the young master's business is our business, young master, if you need him, just tell him, I guarantee that he will do his best for you, and he will die!"

"Everyone in the General's Mansion is locked in the innermost part. I am in a low position and I can't do much, but don't worry, there is absolutely no jailer who will feel sorry for them...Your Excellency..."

Xiaoqi was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by a voice from deep in the darkness.

"That's what he owes to his elder brother! He will definitely find a way to say what he said, isn't he missing now?" The voice sounded like it was Cen Yuan's younger sister.

Duan Yannian stopped walking.

"Cen Qing! Shut up!" Then came the old lady's voice.

"Why should you tell me to shut up! He's talking high-soundingly, isn't he just trying to be a good person in front of grandma? Who knows if he is behind the matter of big brother!"

"Slap!" There was another crisp slap sound.

"Mom?! You hit me?!"

"Have you forgotten what mother said! Now only Duan Xiang can save us!"

"How many times did brother save him when he was here? What's wrong with asking him to help us? Doesn't he like brother?! We are blood relatives of brother! Isn't it right for him to save us?!"

Mrs. Cen lowered her head and didn't speak. There was actually a hint of acquiescence in it. In her heart, she was actually thinking this way...

And the old lady turned her head away and didn't make a sound.

The depths of the prison suddenly fell silent.

After listening to their conversation, Chuntao felt that she was about to explode!Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that since the accident in the General's Mansion, apart from his son who foolishly went up to make a living, who else came to see them?They don't want to thank the young master tearfully, but the whole family thinks that the young master has done everything for them for granted? !Where did such a big face come from?The young master doesn't owe them anything!

She raised her leg and was about to rush in to argue with them, but Duan Yannian grabbed her arm.

"My lord!" Chuntao looked back at him, her eyes were red.

Duan Yannian shook his head at her.

Chuntao stomped her feet in anger, and walked back behind him full of enthusiasm.

Knowing their true thoughts, Duan Yannian is not unsympathetic, but what can he do... He still can't let Cen Yuan's last connection with this world just disappear.

He walked over with Chuntao.

The environment in the prison is fairly clean, and the floor is covered with thick straw, but humidity is unavoidable in this kind of weather. The generals in the general's mansion, who lived in luxury from the beginning, are obviously not used to it. The spirit is not very good.

Xiao Qi unlocked the prison door for them: "Master Duan, you only have one stick of incense time."

"Thank you very much." Duan Yannian said.

Xiao Qi bowed his hands to him, then turned and left.

The old matriarch stood up from the straw mat and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty...how do you say it?"

Duan Yannian hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Don't worry, old lady... The Holy Majesty said that he would give me a chance to investigate the truth, but I will wrong you to stay in the dungeon during this period, but I have already taken care of everything. Everyone can relax and wait for my good news."

"Hmph." Cen Qing snorted coldly, but her voice was very low. Mrs. Cen gave her a wink, and she turned her head away from looking at Duan Yannian.

"That's good... that's good..." The old lady finally let out a sigh of relief, and sat back on the straw mat.

Duan Yannian said again: "Before I came, I asked Chuntao to visit the Wangjiang Tower. This time I came here not only to tell you to be safe, but also to bring some food. Chuntao—"

Chuntao said nothing.

Duan Yannian emphasized his tone, "Chuntao!"

Chuntao reluctantly came over and put the food box on the ground heavily, making the dishes inside jingle.

"Where is that wild girl?! She has no education at all!" Cen Qing widened her eyes and spat softly, her words were full of dissatisfaction with Chuntao.

"You!" Chuntao was also in a hurry, and opened her mouth to scold her badly.

"Chuntao!" Duan Yannian hastily interrupted her.

"Just keep being bullied by them!" Chuntao glared at him, turned around and ran out.

Duan Yannian frowned, sighed fiercely, and said to Cen Qing: "Miss Cen is saying that it is not good for me to discipline you? Chun Tao is my servant girl, and I am afraid that it will not be your turn, Miss Cen, who has not left the court. Is the girl going to discipline you?"

Cen Qing knew that she was being unreasonable, she smacked her lips, and said in a strange way: "I have long heard that Mr. Duan is sharp-tongued and eloquent, but seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation."

"Miss Cen is absurd. Duan has also heard that Miss Cen is arrogant, rude, and condescending. Looking at it today, it is true."

"you!"

"Jinyu, why are you still competing with Qing'er!" The old lady hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, and said earnestly, "It's just a maid, Qing'er's status is what, if you train her, you can do it for a maid. Did it hurt our peace?"

Duan Yannian didn't answer, but took a deep look at her, and was silent for a while.

The old lady felt uncomfortable and embarrassed, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Duan Yannian pursed his lips and showed a smile, and said: "The matter is urgent and there is not much time left, so Yannian will not stay any longer. If there is a turning point, I will inform everyone as soon as I make a decision." After finishing speaking, he didn't look at the The reaction of the others was to say goodbye directly.

He walked out step by step, farther and farther away from the oppressive air that made people breathless.

The people in the General's Mansion took his help for granted, and complained that he didn't do things fast enough or well enough. He was always thinking of them, and what he got in return was the current situation.

Resent it?

Probably out of resentment.

But what's the use of resentment, the path you choose, you have to walk on your knees...

Only Chuntao, the only person in this world who treats him sincerely, he is unwilling to let her suffer a little bit of grievance...
