Chapter 68
Xiang Ning's injury needs to be healed slowly, and the symptoms of night blindness will not be relieved in a short time.
Xiang Yi saw off the doctor, had a conversation with Xiang Ning, and then went to the kitchen to boil Xiang Ning's medicine with Qiao Yun.
Only Xiang Ning sprained his ankle and couldn't move while sitting on the bed. He secretly thought about going back to Xiang Yu and making up some lie so that he wouldn't see through.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the yard.
Xiang Ning was stunned, sat up straight and looked out the window, and saw a young man wearing an indigo robe walking over quickly.
"Yeah!"
She blinked several times, and then she saw the door curtain was opened, and someone stepped into the room, and the very fast steps stirred up the wind in the room.
His rapid breathing sounded extremely clear in the quiet room. He frowned and looked at Xiang Ning, and when he saw the hurt on her face, his eyebrows were completely suppressed.
Xiang Ning blinked several times before confirming that he had seen correctly.
"A Yu? Why are you back? You're not sleeping today..."
Xiang Yu didn't say anything. He walked to her bed in two steps, sat on the stool next to her bed, and looked at her beautiful face. His face looked as if it had been scratched by a cat, and was covered with blood marks.
"Does it still hurt?"
His voice was a little deep.
He was rarely like this. Xiang Ning was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
But his hand fell on her ankle again, which was covered with the quilt.
"Are you very sick?"
It wasn't Xiu Mu, but he suddenly ran back and asked her after entering the door.
Xiang Ning was a little confused by his question and shook his head, but said nothing.
But his brows became tighter and tighter, and his eyes were fixed on hers.
"Why are you running out? Didn't I tell you not to go out after Shen Zheng?"
Xiang Ning can't see anything at night. It's dusk after Shen Zheng. She has always been obedient and never ran around.
But when the lost child appeared that day, it was just before Shen Zheng.
She said, "It's still half an hour before Shen Zheng arrives..."
After she said this, Xiang Yu's eyes widened and he stared at her.
"Half an hour... Do you know that it gets dark early in the North? What do you do when it gets dark in a blink of an eye?"
Xiang Ning thought it was okay, but I don't know why he seemed a little angry.
"Actually, the kid's home is not far away..."
"You..."
Xiang Yu felt that he had nothing to say to her, so he said directly, "Then from now on, don't go out after Shenshi. ."
He moved forward for half an hour.
Xiang Ning pouted after hearing this, "Isn't that too early? In fact, it's getting hotter and hotter, and it's getting dark later and later..."
Seeing her bargaining, Xiang Yu couldn't help but He snorted and spoke faster.
"Don't you know you can't see at night? What if something happens to you again if I'm not at home? After I see you, don't go out all afternoon!"
Xiang Ning can't compare with a normal little girl's family, now Hearing Xiang Yu tell him not to go out for the rest of the afternoon, he also got angry.
"Are you making too much of a fuss?"
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu became even more angry because of her words.
"Am I making a fuss? Do you know the danger?!"
Xiang Ning was also anxious, "I know, I will be careful. Why are you so fierce?"
"I..." Xiang Yu's scalp was all wet It's about to explode.
However, Xiang Ning saw the person coming behind him and screamed in grievance.
"Sister, look at A Yu, he's so cruel, he even came home from the academy to scold me!" After
she said this, Xiang Yu noticed that Xiang Yi was coming.
He was stunned for a moment, stood up and saluted Xiang Yi, "Eldest sister is here too?"
Xiang Yi said yes, "Ning Ning's injury has not healed yet, I will stay and take care of her for a few days."
Xiang Yi just heard the hurried shouting in the hospital. The sound of footsteps was heard outside the door, and the two people were heard quarreling with each other.
She glanced at her brother and saw that his face was full of displeasure, so she asked him.
"Why are you back from the academy?"
Xiang Yu came back from taking half a day's leave with his husband.
He said, "I came back after hearing Mr. Tan tell me about this."
As he said this, he said bitterly, "Where are those merchants? I only took them to the Yamen and gave them a few slaps. It was too easy for them." !"
Xiang Yi originally wanted to hide it from his brother, but he never expected that Tan Jian would be missed.
He already knew about this meeting, and he looked like he was looking for someone to seek bad luck again, so he called him.
"Those people have been beaten and have left here. Are you going to find people from all over the world to seek revenge?"
She said, and sighed when she saw that her brother's face was still blue.
"Okay, I will stay and take good care of Ning Ning. You can go back to the academy to study."
Xiang Ning also said aggrievedly, "Don't bother me at home."
When Xiang Yu heard what she said, he couldn't help but glance at her, " No conscience..."
Before he could finish his words, he noticed the eldest sister's gaze fixed on him.
He shut his mouth and didn't say anything more, but he didn't leave immediately.
There was silence in the room. Xiang Yi looked at Xiang Yu who was standing there with a blue face but quietly glanced at Xiang Ning. He couldn't help but think of the past.
Before, she asked Xiang Ning to live with her twice and three times, but Xiang Yu refused.
At first she thought her younger brother had a grudge against the uncle, but then when she first came to the capital to have tea with her eldest brother, younger brother and sister, the elder came and personally told her to go live with the Tan family, but Xiang Yu still looked unwilling.
At that time, she only thought that the two of them had been together for a long time and were not used to being separated. Now it seems...
Xiang Yi looked at Xiang Yu again in confusion and said.
"Speaking of which, it's really inappropriate for Ning Ning to live alone outside. When you take a bath next time, the house will be returned and Ning Ning will move to Tan's house to live with me." After
she said this, Xiang Yu said not good.
"The Tan family is not suitable..."
Xiang Yi looked at him, "What should I do? Ning Ning can't move to the academy to live with you."
After the words fell, Xiang Yu fell silent.
He looked at Xiang Ning, who was bruised here and there, and then at his eldest sister. Under the eldest sister's questioning eyes, he had to restrain his expression.
"...I understand, just do as the eldest sister says."
He agreed, and Xiang Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Then when you take a nap, move out of here and vacate the house. When you take a nap, go back to Tan's house with Brother Jian."
She said this and heard her brother mutter.
"The eldest sister has reconciled with the uncle of the Tan family."
Xiang Yi did not respond to his younger brother's sour words. No matter what happened to her and the uncle in the future, she should first deal with the matter at hand.
Fortunately, the younger brother didn't say anything more, and his attitude towards the Tan family seemed to have softened.
She counted the time and didn't leave Xiang Yu any longer.
"Since you are on temporary leave, don't delay and go back to the academy as soon as possible."
Xiang Yu said "hmm" and turned to look at Xiang Ning again.
But Xiang Ning was still angry with him and turned away with a snort.
Xiang Yu sighed and had to leave home.
Xiang Yu left, and Xiang Ning muttered to him a few more times before returning to normal.
Only Xiang Yi sat under the window, his thoughts wandering for a while.
It rained all day the next day. After the rain, the weather became hotter and hotter. Xiang Yizheng didn't know what was going on in the capital, but he saw Zhengji coming again.
She asked Masaki with a raised eyebrow.
"Why are you here again?"
She had only been here for five days, and Zhengji had already gone back and forth three times.
Xiang Yi said helplessly, "I will go back naturally in a few days."
Zhengji said, "Madam, the second lady's pregnancy is not stable. I would like to ask my wife to go home and take care of her." There
are no elders in the family, although Xiang Yi does not have any elders . She had given birth, but she was the eldest sister-in-law. After hearing these words, she suddenly remembered that there was a pregnant sibling in the family who had no one to take care of her.
Xiang Ning was basking in the sun under the eaves. After hearing this, Xiang
Ning said, "Sister, it's better to go back. I'm much better. I'll slowly pack up my things in the past few days and move them out in a few days." Yun stayed to take care of Xiang Ning. In addition, the Tan family's secret guards were also there, so Xiang Yi followed Zhengji back to the capital.
But when he returned to the capital, he saw Yang Zhen doing well and fishing in the garden.
Although I was a bit bored, nothing happened. I caught two or three fish in a short time.
Xiang Yi glanced at Zhengji and took her back.
Zhengji: "..."
Xiang Yi didn't ask, so Zhengji shrank his head and ran away.
By this time it was getting late, so Xiang Yi went back to his room and changed his clothes, and then someone left the office and returned home.
When she walked to the door, the man had already hurried to the corridor. Before he saw her through the bamboo curtain, he called out to the room.
"Yizhen!"
Xiang Yi opened the curtain and walked out. As soon as she stepped out, the man came in front of her.
She saw the smile on his face, and thinking about Zhengji's lies about bringing her back today, she raised her eyes and glanced at the old man.
Naturally, Tan Ting would not mention this matter. He just looked down at the person in front of him and said something in a low voice.
"It's been a while since I've been to the Yamen, and today is the first time I've seen my wife after I've been to the Yamen."
It was a sentence without beginning or end, with some slight resentment.
His eyes kept falling on Xiang Yi's face. Xiang Yi's ears felt a little warm at the gentle complaint and the gaze locked on his face.
"It's getting hot, uncle, you'd better change your clothes first."
Unexpectedly, he said, "I'm not hot, is it madam?"
After saying that, his eyes focused on her slightly hot ear beads.
Xiang Yi: "..."
...
Today's dinner is for three people in the family.
Although Tan Jian was not at home, Xiang Yi came back, and Yang Zhen talked more. Hearing that Xiang Ning was about to move here, Xiang Yu also wanted to go back and forth to the academy with Tan Jian, saying hello again and again.
I don't know if she was too excited, but Yang Zhen felt uncomfortable during the second half of the meal, and she kept vomiting. Aunt Lu could only protect her back to Xikuoyuan.
Only Tan Ting and Xiang Yi were left at the dinner table.
Xiang Yi couldn't help but be reminded by Yang Zhen, and thought of his younger brothers and sisters again, so he became a little absent-minded while eating later.
Tan Ting looked at his wife and wondered what she was thinking. She didn't even pay attention to picking up food for her, so he couldn't help but ask her.
"What is Yizhen thinking about?"
Xiang Yi was outside the room that day and heard Xiang Yu hurriedly go home to talk to Ning Ning.
She had some unclear guesses that she was not sure about, and it was inconvenient for her to say them out. Now after hearing Tan Ting's question, she shook her head.
"It's nothing."
After she finished speaking, she gave Tan Ting a chopstick dish, which seemed to be a cover-up.
There was an oriole stationed in the corner of the eaves outside the dining room. It chirped twice and flew away, but it seemed that the hall had become quiet.
Tan Ting glanced at his wife beside him and saw that she refused to tell him, so he didn't speak. He lowered his eyes and picked up another chopstick for her.
That's all, as long as she doesn't forget about him completely.
She will never forget what day today is.
...
In the evening, Xiang Yi was still thinking about his younger siblings.
The younger brothers and sisters are not young, Xiang Yu is fine, but the younger sister Xiang Ning is indeed old enough to get engaged.
These years, because of their father's reputation, their siblings have had a difficult time. Xiang Yi has never thought much about his younger brother and sister's marriage. Now it seems that it is inconvenient to delay it any longer.
She secretly thought about going back to discuss it with Xiang Ning and ask the little girl what she meant.
Thinking about this, Xiang Yi finished taking care of the chores at home in the evening, washed up and went to bed to get ready for bed.
But Tan Ting looked at his wife and saw that she didn't take the initiative to say a few words to him all night. She was stuck in her own thoughts and had no idea what she was thinking.
Now they were all covered with quilts and about to go to sleep. Tan Ting felt depressed and had to ask.
"Yizhen still remembers what day it is today?"
He asked, and when he saw her, he turned to look at him.
"What day?"
Sure enough, I didn't remember.
Tan Ting pursed his lips and said nothing. He stood in front of the bed tent, looked down at her, and slowly took off his clothes.
He wore a dark green brocade robe tonight, with a leather belt trimmed with gold and emerald around his delicate waist.
Xiang Yi looked over for a moment, and saw that his face darkened a little, the corners of his mouth were lowered, and he looked at her intently. He untied the leather belt around his waist and threw it on the chair beside him.
Xiang Yi's heart skipped a beat when she saw that he was still looking at her. He opened the laces of the brocade robe and the whole robe fell apart, and he then pulled open the laces of the middle coat as well.
The clothes are hanging on the shoulders, from the protruding Adam's apple down, the collarbone of the neck and the solid chest are exposed. He looks down and ups and downs until the tight pants are tightened.
Xiang Yi's back tightens, and his breathing becomes stagnant. stagnation.
And his eyes looked at her tighter and tighter.
The moon outside the courtyard was round, shining its light all over the courtyard, and quietly flowing into the room.
Xiang Yi finally remembered what day it was.
"Uncle..."
The man's expression remained unchanged, but his voice was a bit hoarse. With a slight dissatisfaction, he tilted his head and looked at her.
"Yizhen remembered?"
Xiang Yi remembered, looked up at him and felt inexplicably wanting to shrink back.
The man had already taken off those clothes, threw them on the chair, and leaned into the tent.
Xiang Yi's face became hot, and he stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms...
It was peaceful and peaceful outside the room, but there was a strong wind and rain inside.
He didn't know why today was completely different from the past. Xiang Yi gradually became confused, with the wind and rain blowing under the tent...
After a long time, the wind and rain slowly stopped, and Xiang Yi's complicated thoughts became empty. She could only let him hold her and wash her, and then lean on his shoulder.
Seeing his wife sleeping sleepily in the crook of his shoulder, Tan Ting wrapped her slender body in a thin shirt and held her in his arms, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
But, what was she thinking in her heart, and why was she never willing to talk to him?
A spacious house in the capital.
There was silence everywhere, even the chirping of birds and insects disappeared as if they had been killed.
Cheng Yunxian knelt in the courtyard where only the angry wind lantern illuminated the white light. He raised his head and looked at the people in the corridor.
Standing in the corridor was a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt. The lower half of his face was covered by a black gauze scarf, making it impossible to see his whole face.
The man looked at her condescendingly for a long time before saying something in a gloomy voice.
"Either enter the Tan family, or go to the harem to be with your aunt, you can choose for yourself."
In the harem, the emperor is already over fifty years old...
After the man finished speaking, he glanced at the man kneeling in the courtyard. Cheng Yunxian threw away his hands and returned to the room.
The door was closed for a long time before Cheng Yunxian slowly stood up.
Angry that the wind lantern was blown by the wind and the pale white light could not illuminate the entire courtyard, she quietly stepped back and left the courtyard.
The maid had been waiting outside for a long time, and she quickly took her cloak and stepped forward.
"Master, why did you let the girl kneel for so long?"
She is obviously his biological daughter, but she has never looked good in the past few years.
Cheng Yunxian was used to it, and he folded his cloak expressionlessly.
"So, we have to hurry up."
