Cold and warm depend on each other

Xi'er trembled when she heard Chai Yufei's roar, and hid behind Xue Wanxiang with a mournful face: "Miss..."

Outside, Chai Yufei rushed forward in a few steps, Xue Wanxiang protected Xi'er behind her, and raised her hand to block the angry young master Chai.Chai Yufei's eyes were red with anxiety, she pushed Xue Wanxiang away, grabbed Xi'er's lapel and raised her hand to slap her!

Xi'er was knocked to the ground by him, he pinned her neck and yelled viciously: "I'll beat you to death, you bastard!" He slapped her again!

Girls and women gathered around the small courtyard, and a few boldly climbed the door to poke their heads. Suddenly, they saw the frail Miss Xue being pushed aside by the young master. After a while, she staggered up while supporting the well in the courtyard. He picked up a half-bucket of cold water from the well and poured it towards the young master.

Everyone gasped in unison.

Chai Yufei didn't expect this weak woman to act like this, her face turned blue from the cold in the winter, and when she turned around, she grabbed Xue Wanxiang's wrist and wanted to beat her to death!

The corner of Xi'er's mouth was bloodshot, and she was also doused with cold water just now, when she woke up, she saw that the young master had caught Miss Xue, and without even thinking about it, she bumped into the young master, and rolled with him into the water .

"Miss, run away! Eldest Young Master is going to kill you!" Xi'er cried loudly, her face was swollen from the beating, and her eyes could hardly be opened.

The servants in the yard saw the Eldest Young Master and Xi'er wrestling like crazy, and some people had already rushed to the front hall to find the Master and Mrs. Make a ball.

Frost fell last night, the ground was icy cold, Xue Wanxiang was knocked on the back of the head just now, and she was in dizzy pain.She tried her best to come over to protect Xi'er, and then someone stepped on the broken ice on the ground and stepped through the courtyard gate, ending the farce.

She raised her eyes, saw Master Chai's furious eyes, and heard that Chai Yufei was locked up in the cold room of the ancestral hall. Young Mistress Jin stepped forward to intercede, and was sent back to the courtyard to think about her mistakes.Xue Wanxiang's brain buzzed continuously, she touched the back of her head, felt the warmth of a hand, held it up to her eyes, and there was a sound of breathing around her.

The slender white hands are full of blood.

In the dream, I don't know that I am a guest, but when I wake up, there is a harmonious moon outside the window.Xue Wanxiang only felt a splitting headache, she lay down on the bed with bare feet while pressing her breathing chest.The woman on the floor laying a bunk on the night watch suddenly woke up, supported her and asked her what she wanted?Xue Wanxiang shook her head and covered her mouth. The mother-in-law understood, took a copper basin and held it up to her. Xue Wanxiang covered her face with her sleeves and retched.His face was as white as gold paper.

The mother-in-law told her that she had been in a coma for two days, the doctor said she had hurt her head, the young master was still locked up in the cold room, and the young mistress was placed under house arrest.Xue Wanxiang asked her where is Xi'er?The mother-in-law said, Miss Xi'er was not hurt as badly as her, and she woke up earlier.After a pause, he continued, "It's just that the whole person is crazy, talking nonsense at every turn.

Xue Wanxiang held her arm and wanted to go to see Xi'er, but the mother-in-law persuaded her, saying that she must have fallen asleep at this time, if she didn't go there until dawn, left and right...

The mother-in-law hesitated to speak, but Xue Wanxiang's head was still dizzy, and she couldn't tell, so she lay down as she said.The next day, the sky was bright and she woke up again. She quietly ate half a bowl of hot porridge, and only then could she hear from the words of the old woman that this small courtyard was sealed up by Master Chai.Three meals a day are delivered to the gate of the courtyard, and there are guards at the head of the gate.No one is allowed in or out.

Xi'er lived in the next room, and when she saw her come in, there was light in her eyes, and she saw a woman following behind, lifting the cotton curtain, Xi'er lowered her eyes, and foolishly fiddled with a few small stones in her hands.

Xue Wanxiang sat in the room for a while, asked her if her face still hurt, and looked at the wound on her neck.The mother-in-law was impatient and went out with an excuse.Xi'er waited for a while before raising her eyes. Although her eyes were still flustered and frightened, they were no longer as stupid as before.

"Miss, Eldest Young Master is going to harm you. It's true." She said softly, and grabbed Xue Wanxiang's sleeve.

Xue Wanxiang stayed in the small yard for several days. The doctor came to see her several times, prescribed prescriptions, and changed the wrappings. She touched the wound on the back of her head, and found that scabs had formed.

The meals sent to the small courtyard have also changed, unlike the perfunctory a few days ago, there are more soups and meats in the daily meal, the mother-in-law is used to watching the dishes and eating, seeing this posture, I understand that this Miss Xue probably still has time to turn around day.

Xue Wanxiang asked her to take a message and wanted to meet Master Chai in person.The mother-in-law pushed back for a while, Xue Wanxiang took out a jade bracelet from her father's dowry and gave it to the mother-in-law.The mother-in-law put it in her sleeve pocket while saying that she didn't dare to take it seriously, and turned to the door, and begged for her the servant guard who was in front of the door.

Three days later, Chai Jiusheng came to the courtyard in person.

The big red happy characters pasted on the window grilles were not peeled off, Xue Wanxiang kept counting the days in her heart, on this day, there were only two days left before the "good day" chosen by Mrs. Chai.

The four carved doors of the main room in the small courtyard were all open, and the woman served tea to the master and Miss Xue, and retreated with her hands down.Master Chai took a sip from the cup, the tea was very thick, he frowned, and asked: "You want to see me?" Before Xue Wanxiang could answer, he put the tea cup away, and continued: "You can get married at ease, The rest of the matter, the old man will help you to solve, will not live up to your father's entrustment."

"Master Chai, please allow Wanxiang to say something." Xue Wanxiang calmly and slowly explained the ins and outs of what happened that day.

Chai Jiusheng listened, his eyes widened and he said angrily, "You mean, Yu Fei did everything from your captivity to the day before yesterday? Yu Fei wants to buy/kill//kill you?"

Xue Wanxiang remained silent.

Chai Jiusheng paced a few steps in the main room, and said in a cold voice, "What evidence do you have?"

"There were four people who pretended to be bandits and robbed me that day. Among them, Boss Jiang and Lao San Hu must have had contact with the young master or the young mistress. Wan Xiang can draw the faces of these four people, and Master Chai will inquire about them in private. You will know the clue."

The businessman's inertial thinking quickly turned around in his mind. This matter implicated his ineffective son, and it must be a hidden danger for Xue girl to leave the house alive!Although he is a concubine, he is his own son after all!Chai Jiusheng looked at Xue Wanxiang with heavy eyes, hiding his murderous intentions.

"If Wan Xiang had any other intentions, she could have kept the matter a secret and found an opportunity to report it to the officials in the future. There would always be something to reason about. But Wan Xiang didn't want to do that."

"Why?"

"Master Chai, Wan Xiang has already expressed his will. This time, he came to Chai's mansion for the purpose of retiring the engagement. The young master did not want to marry Wan Xiang, so he made such a bad plan. Wan Xiang did not want to marry the young master, so he couldn't wait until tomorrow." As she spoke, she bent her knees and knelt on the cold bluestone floor tiles: "Wan Xiang knows that Mr. Chai is a person who keeps his promise, and he once promised my father to take care of the deceased's daughter, but today it is Wan Xiang who asked to divorce... ..." She kowtowed heavily: "I beg Master Chai to help you."

Yes, she couldn't wait that long.It has been nearly [-] days since we parted from Su Zhe, and she has never been separated from her for such a long time. She is afraid that she will be in a hurry and rush to find her, afraid that she will not be found, something will happen, and also afraid that she will be found, how can we separate? explain.

The most fearful thing is that she thought she would not go back, and she didn't wait for her.What can I do?

She had no choice but to risk everything and put all her eggs in one basket, betting on Master Chai's integrity for decades, betting that Master Chai remembered that her father risked his life to save his son-in-law!

Chai Jiusheng sat condescendingly, and after a while, he said indifferently: "I will give you 1000 taels of silver, and someone will send you out of Linhuai City. From now on, for the rest of your life, don't set foot here again."

Xue Wanxiang's back was very straight, she knew she couldn't retreat.She also has to collect the 1000 taels, this is, the hush money.But she still opened her lips and said: "Wan Xiang still wants to ask for one thing."

Chai Jiusheng had already turned his back, but stopped when he heard this.

Xue Wanxiang said: "Wanxiang wants to ask for Xi'er's contract of selling herself. Master Chai, I can buy Xi'er with 1000 taels, okay?"

There was some icicle outside the house, and it snapped off with a "snap". Chai Jiusheng stood at the door of the main house and turned his head halfway, staring at Xue Wanxiang, his eyes were cold and cold.

Xue Wanxiang was neither startled nor afraid, even though she was kneeling on the bluestone floor tiles, her expression showed a bit of fortitude, not like a lady, but rather like a son or daughter of the world.

"Master Chai." Xue Wanxiang raised her head and looked straight into his eyes: "Xi'er will never appear in Linhuai City again. You can also claim that Xi'er is crazy. Who would believe a lunatic's words."

The draft blew past, and the corners of his clothes were lifted coldly.Xue Wanxiang lowered her eyes, saw a pair of thick leather boots, and walked out of sight.

She slumped//with cold sweat all over her back.

In the twilight of the early morning, a curtained car drove out from the corner gate of Chaifu, ran through the empty streets and alleys, and headed west of the city.

Xue Wanxiang was leaning against the simple wall of the car, but in such a cold day, there was a bit of eager joy in her eyes.The car was too small and too bumpy, Xi'er knelt down at her feet, saw that her face was not looking well, and reached out to pick up the bundle in her hand, she shook her head and hugged the bundle even tighter.

It's not a big burden, it contains the tablet of her parents, some property left to her by her father, and one piece, the letter of divorce.

The car made a detour at the end of Twelve Pavilion, trotting according to the inn that Xue Wanxiang said, the weather was very cold, and there were few pedestrians on the road, Xue Wanxiang lifted the green cloth curtain, and a gust of cold wind poured in, blowing people's hearts up.

She looked at the sky and it was still very early, so she didn't know if Su Zhe was up.See you soon.Will she be happy?Will you blame her?Will you put your arms around her and say Xue Wanxiang, you are back!

Thinking of this, a little shame appeared on her face.

After half an hour, the car stopped at an alley, and the sky was already bright.Xue Wanxiang got off the carriage full of nervousness and anticipation, the driver lowered his hands and said: "Miss Xue, the master ordered you to leave the city today."

Xue Wanxiang nodded, hugged her bundle, and jumped off the shaft of the car.Xi'er followed her, trotting, and accompanied her into the inn.

The shop waiter greeted him from the inside, Xue Wanxiang bypassed him and ran upstairs until the last night, where she and Su Zhe stayed in the upper room, she regained her composure, but couldn't hold back her chaotic heartbeat, took a deep breath, After a while, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.Welcome to join the GL novel group: 115959717
