It wasn't until the little figure could no longer be seen that Xia Lan turned her eyes away and landed on the candied haws in her hand.

Just now, Xia Lan keenly captured Cen Nan's flashing complicated eyes before he left, as well as his hesitant look.

However, when Cen Nan chose not to speak, she also chose not to ask, which seemed to have become a tacit understanding between the two of them.

"Lime, tell me about today's events"

"Here", Qing Ning replied, "Today, as soon as the master left, Miss Nan'er said that she wanted to eat candied haws. The servant wanted to buy it but was stopped by the lady. She said she wanted to go by herself, so the servant and Mo Er went to the street with Miss. Later, when he got to the street, Mo Er saw a seller of candied haws, so he stopped the carriage and said he wanted to buy it, but Miss Nan'er ran out of the carriage by herself, saying that she wanted Go by yourself, the servant girl and Mo Er followed. However, after walking a few steps, Miss Nan'er suddenly stopped, and then turned her head to look at the two women sitting on a wonton stand next to her."

Qing Ning stopped while talking, with a troubled look on her face.

"Just tell the truth," Xia Lan said lightly, her brows drooping slightly.

"Here", even so, Qing Ning couldn't help but secretly glanced at Xia Lan, took a deep breath quietly, and then continued, "I didn't quite understand at first, so I followed suit, and then I heard Those two women were gossiping."

Qing Ning wanted to mention this sentence, but Xia Lan suddenly said, "What did they say?"

"Eh...at that time, it was a little far away, slaves, slaves too"

"Mo Er will be with you too." Xia Lan raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Qing Ning, which made her kneel on the ground with a plop in fright.

"Just tell the truth, I forgive you for your innocence," Xia Lan said with a calm expression.

"Here, I heard one of the women say..."

Woman A: Hey, have you heard?It is said that Concubine Pingnan was assassinated last night, I don't know if it is true or not.

Woman B: Of course it’s true. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Last night wasn’t Girl’s Day. My second daughter and I took her daughter to the market, and I happened to see a group of men in black trying to kill Princess Pingnan. , At that time, we were frightened and ran away quickly.

Woman A: So it is true. Then why did I hear that King Pingnan seemed to be drinking flowers and wine in the red building at that time? Didn’t it mean that King Pingnan and his wife had a very good relationship?But this doesn't care about his wife's life or death, and he went to be happy and romantic. Could it be that the previous rumors were all false? !

Woman B: It's true that it's fake.

Woman A: Then why would you leave your wife and go to drink flower wine?

Woman B leaned in front of Woman A, and deliberately lowered her voice and said, "You don't know about this. I heard that the princess has had nothing to do for many years since she married into the palace. As the saying goes, there are three ways to be unfilial, and there are no offspring." Why, after a long time, the prince will naturally."

Woman A: "That's right, the prince is already infatuated enough, you know, any man in a powerful family is not three wives and four concubines."

Woman B: No, hey, this woman who can’t bear babies is just like a hen that can’t lay eggs, no matter how good-looking she is, it’s useless...

Hearing this, Qing Ning felt furious in her heart, and was about to step forward to teach the two people who were chewing their tongues a lesson, but suddenly heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed, turned her head suddenly, and saw Mo Er behind him with a cold face, The thumb has already pushed the blade out of the scabbard a few inches, as if it was about to cut someone's head at any time.

Fortunately, Qing Ning moved out of his brother Mo Yi in time, and stopped Mo Er's actions just now.

It's just that Qing Ning didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and saw that the little man in front of him was walking towards the two women at some point, his back was stiff, and his hands were clenched into fists. Anger is in full swing at this moment, so don't provoke it easily.

But Qing Ning didn't dare to reach out to obstruct her, and finally opened her mouth to call, "Miss Nan'er".

Cen Nan paused at the sound, and slowly raised his head to meet Qing Ning's eyes.

But with just this one glance, Qing Ning couldn't help trembling in her heart. Before that, she had seen Mo Er's cold eyes full of murderous intent more than once, but she felt a chill behind her back, but the little man in front of her There was no murderous look in his eyes, just anger, which made the hearts of those who saw it chill.

Qing Ning can't tell why, maybe it's because Cen Nan has always been polite to everyone, and he has never seen him angry or angry, or maybe it's because such a captivating expression appeared on a three-year-old child , even more shocking.

Unlike Mo Ermin who wanted to cut off people's heads just now, Qing Ning felt that Cen Nan seemed to want the two women to chew up the wonton bowls and eat them!

Xu was a little frightened, and Qing Ning didn't know what to say for a while.

And Cen Nan seemed to know from Qing Ning's expression that he was out of order at the moment, and he quickly calmed down his expression, but before leaving, he still gave the two women a cold look, "You're chewing people's tongues like that, be careful of being caught." Tongue out!"

Later, on the way back to the mansion, I heard some similar rumors, so there was the scene of rushing into the mansion not long ago.

From the beginning to the end, Xia Lan's face didn't have any big waves, and she just said lightly at the end, "I will serve the lady more carefully in the future, let's go down."

The candied haws in his hand were bright red and attractive. Just looking at them, he felt that the taste must be good, sweet, with some sourness.

"Manle"

Man'er understood, and handed the bowl of black medicine to Xia Lan's hands. She drank it all without frowning, and then opened her mouth to take a bite of the candied haws in her hand. The bitterness immediately contained sweetness. , sweet with sour, sour with a hint of astringency, the taste... hard to understand.

Leng Zongmu left the mansion in the morning and did not return to the mansion until after dinner.

Cen Nan was taking a bath in the room, but suddenly stopped while washing, and even his breathing became much lighter.

However, after listening for a long time, I didn't hear any sound.

As for this, Cen Nan had already expected it. With Xia Lan's temperament, how could she make such a fuss like those resentful women and jealous women? I'm afraid she wouldn't even say a word of blame to Leng Zongmu Bar.

After taking a bath, I put on my clothes, thinking that I had nothing to do, so I picked up a book and read it.

I don't know how long I watched it, but I fell asleep in a daze, until the knock on the door woke me up.

"Who"

"Nan'er, it's me"

Cen Nan raised his hand and rubbed his face, then went to open the door, and when he looked up, he saw Xia Lan standing gracefully outside the door.

"Sister Lan"

"Nan'er, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Cen Nan was taken aback when he heard the words, seeing the faint smile on Xia Lan's lips, and the unconcealable tiredness between his brows and eyes, then turned sideways to signal him to enter the room.

Close the door, turn around and look at Xia Lan's back, is this... a quarrel?

"Is Nan'er just studying?"

"Um"

"Nan'er really worked hard, do you want to watch it later?"

Cen Nan thought for a while and shook his head, "It's night, let's go to bed."

Afterwards, after Xia Lan took off his outer robe, Cen Nan quickly climbed onto the bed, lay down on his side and closed his eyes.

Although it was not the first time sharing the bed with Xia Lan, Cen Nan was still inexplicably nervous.

After a while, I heard the sound of undressing slowly, then the lights were turned off, and a faint fragrance suddenly hit my nose, and then I felt the bed beside me sink slightly.

Both were lying on their backs, and neither of them spoke. Cen Nan opened her eyes and looked at the veil above her head. She knew that Xia Lan was not asleep, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only remain silent.

The night was silent, and Cen Nan just quietly accompanied Xia Lan.

When he felt the breath of the person beside him change, Cen Nan's heart tightened suddenly, and he turned his head quietly, trying to see Xia Lan's face clearly in the dark, but he could only see the outline of a face.

Cen Nan wanted to turn sideways, but when she moved, the people around her seemed to notice.

Then, Xia Lan raised his hand and quickly wiped his cheeks, which fell into Cen Nan's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, Cen Nan still turned to face Xia Lan.

"Can't Nan'er fall asleep?" Xia Lan's voice sounded the same.

After a while, Cen Nanfang replied, "En."

Then, Cen Nan saw Xia Lan also turned sideways, even in the dark night, she could immediately catch those starry eyes.

"It would be nice for Sister Na Lan to sing for you."

Cen Nan felt warm in his heart, but couldn't help feeling sour in his heart, his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't speak.

Xia Lan didn't ask any more, just waited so quietly, until a soft little hand suddenly covered her wrist.

Cen Nan keenly caught that subtle tremor.

Then, in this quiet night, when each other's breath blended together, Cen Nan's voice sounded slowly although it looked immature, but it was incomparably tenacious and warm.

"Sister Lan, you once said that the words of others should not be ignored"

Cen Nan paused while speaking, she knew that Xia Lan was listening carefully.

"Since I was born, I have felt that this is a punishment or torture for me." This was the first time that Cen Nan confided his heart to Xia Lan. The small hand above the bright wrist was gently grasped into the palm, and the corners of the lips could not help but rise slightly in the darkness.

"Until I met you, Sister Lan, I suddenly felt that God is still very good to me. You are so kind, but God didn't let me be your child. Your own child is just time, sooner or later. This is a predestined fate, and there is no escape."

As soon as Cen Nan finished speaking, he felt that gentle breath approaching suddenly, and the next moment, he fell into a warm and fragrant embrace.

"Nan'er is God's best gift to Sister Lan"

Cen Nan closed his eyes unconsciously, passed his left hand under Xia Lan's armpit, and then gently landed on her back.

"No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by Sister Lan's side"
