It was an exquisite house. The walls were high and white, painted tiles, and the walls were high, but they could not block the spring light of the courtyard. There were bright peach blossoms sticking out of the walls, and the white walls were filled with enchanting red petals and tender green branches.
Bing'er and Rou-Er slowly walked into the courtyard. It was full of peach and pear blossoms. It was the time to bloom, with clusters of snow-like pear blossoms and pink blossoms turning into a bright red cloud. There was no obvious path in the courtyard, only a few limestone slabs placed between the clumps of trees that were not easy to walk on. The guests parted as they walked, making them seem even more seductive and romantic.
The two of them did not have such feelings for each other. They casually walked around, not caring about the flower petals that fell on their bodies. After passing through the flower bushes was a huge lake. The upstream water converged into a pool of light green jade. There was a wooden trestle by the lake, which led to the loft in the middle of the lake.
The third floor of the pavilion was vermilion in color with a white muslin curtain draped over it. When the wind blew past, the heaven and earth would be filled with petals. It was beautiful beyond compare with the mortal world. They slowly stepped onto the wooden deck, creaking. No one came to stop them. They slowly pushed open the door, but the room was still clean, as if no one lived inside.
Just as they were about to turn around and go somewhere else to look, they suddenly heard the inaudible sound of porcelain colliding upstairs. Bing'er and Tang Yi Rou looked at each other and slowly walked up the stairs.
It was unknown how that staircase was made. With every step he took, a crisp sound similar to the first cry of an oriole was emitted. It was also like a wind chime, lightly singing in the breeze.
The person they were looking for was indeed on the second floor, which was a very large open room. All the windows were wide open, and the white curtains were fluttering in the wind. He was lying on the couch in red, slowly pouring a transparent liquid into his mouth, holding a wine jug that was made of gold and jade.
Bing-Er's eyes turned red. She went up and hugged the lady in red. She choked with sobs, "Lady, Bing-Er has finally found you."
The man in red slowly shifted his gaze to her. It was as if he didn't recognize her and his eyes were ice-cold.
She slowly pushed Bing'er away, placed the wine pot on the mahogany table and stood up. She opened another bottle of wine and slowly poured the wine into the pot. Her body was already staggering and the wine pot in her hand was swaying. The majority of the wine had already spilled onto the table and slowly flowed along the corner of the table to her clothes, dripping onto the ground.
Rou Er also walked over and pressed down on the woman in red's hand. She said in a low voice, "Miss, don't drink anymore. We know it's hard on you, but it's not the way. "
The lady in red pushed her away, her eyes cautious as she asked, "Am I very familiar with you? I don't want everyone to be so concerned about me. I don't need it. "
Saying that, he just lay there and slowly poured the wine into his mouth.
Bing'er was already crying so hard that she couldn't take it anymore. She sat down beside Su Yuewu and said, "Miss, it's me, it's me."
The woman ignored her, focusing only on drinking her own wine. Birds were chirping outside the window, her voice was a bit absent-minded, "I know I love Nightingale, there are a lot of Nightingales here. "I envied that Dong Ni's house had a large lotus pond, so he gave me this courtyard as well."
"I said I like fruit trees, flowers in spring and fruits in autumn. Buried a pot of wine in the summer, dug it up when it snowed in the winter, and our family cooked it and talked. So he planted this garden with flowers all year round. "
"I said I want a room where I can see the lake water from any direction. He made me a house in the middle of the lake. I want to be awakened by the sun every morning, so he opens every window and hangs a curtain of white gauze. "
"I said I liked the stars, so he built a big platform for me on the third floor. In the summer, we can watch the stars together."
Large tears slowly seeped out of her eyes and slid down her face. She continued, "He's been craving every day. He got someone to build a large kitchen and a special barbecue and picnic area."
"I like to cause a ruckus, so he built several rooms and waited for Qin'er to come, Bing'er and Rou'er to come, Nangong to come, and Dong Ni Xi Qi to come. In the spring, the Peach Blossom and Pear Blossom blossoms have all bloomed, and you can enjoy the summer. In the autumn, you can enjoy a large amount of pleasures and chrysanthemums, and you even built a small house out of crystals.
"But I misunderstood him, and said he was cold, and how sad he should be. The entire courtyard is something that I and Tian Tian like, but even now, I still don't know what he likes, what kind of food he wants to eat, what kind of courtyard he likes, when he's in a good mood, and what he should do when he's sad. "
"He indulged me so much, but I could do nothing for him. She had said every day that her father had been good to her mother. Before, she didn't think so, but now, she knew. He gave me the life I wanted, a home, two people in love, a lovely child. "
She didn't want to talk anymore. She just drank slowly. Rou-Er pulled Bing'er away and asked Su Yuewu, "Does Miss plan to continue like this?"
Su Yuewu was silent for a very long time. When they all thought that she wouldn't reply, Su Yuewu said in a low voice, "What else can I do? Only the memories here are mine. "
Bing-Er said, "Mistress, how could you do that? This is not your character at all. If Tian Tian and Young Master Leng saw you like this, they would be hurt. "
Su Yuewu's eyes slowly revealed a hint of pain. She slowly shook her head and said, "I don't want to say anymore. You can go."
Bing-Er continued, "But …"
Su Yuewu threw the jar of wine at her side onto the ground and said hoarsely, "I said get lost, do you hear me?"
Bing-Er had never been shouted at like this by her mistress before. She was stunned and her body was shaking. It was unknown whether she was angry or scared. Rou-Er gently pulled Bing'er behind her and said, "It is normal for you to be distracted, but don't forget, you still have Wu Lin behind you. Your life is not only limited to Tian Tian and Master Leng, there are many people who are worried about you."
She slowly put the jug of wine on the table and held Bing-Er's hand as she walked downstairs. She found a room and stayed there.
There was a servant girl in the mansion. It was probably because Leng Fanyun had taught him this for a long time, but she would appear when she needed to. Usually, this place was so quiet that no one seemed to be around.
When Dong Ni carried Rou Er's baby over, the situation didn't improve. Tang YiRou held the child in her arms and coaxed while she fed the rice porridge. Dong Ni asked, "Master is still unwilling to talk. Does he love to ignore everyone?"
Bing-Er nodded and said, "That's right. It seems like all the backbone in my body has been extracted." Last time, when the two servants were discussing about Young Master Leng's matter, she heard his words and killed him without any hesitation. On his face, his white clothes were drenched in blood, as if nothing had happened. "
Dong Ni said with a bit of a headache: "The blow this time was simply too great. What happened was in such a hurry, and Miss was quite pitiful."
Rou-Er said, "Right now, the martial arts world is also boiling. Her position is in danger. When Shangguan Tulong heard about Leng Fanyun and Su Yitian being taken away, he started to get restless again. I didn't dare to tell Miss about this, and now I'm just trying my best to hold on. "
Dong Ni nodded as well. "Right now, the assassination is going to be quite troublesome. I'm in a dire situation right now as well." Could Miss really not come back to support us? "
Bing-Er sighed and said, "My lady used to tell me everything, but now she only wants to believe me." He stopped laughing. It was not good to eat, so he didn't know how to add another piece of clothing when the weather changed. It was cold at night, so he didn't know to close the window. "Ai …"
When the baby in Rou-Er's embrace saw that the three adults were frowning, she patted her mother's arm in dissatisfaction and cried out.
Rou-Er quickly comforted him by patting his back and said, "Alright, alright, Nian Qing, mother will feed it to you." Ye Zichen fed the rice paste in his hand to her mouth.
Dong Ni's eyes suddenly lit up and said tentatively, "I don't know …" "Nian Qing, can you …"
Rou-Er, who was busy feeding the child, turned her head and asked, "You mean …?"
Dong Ni laughed and said, "Seeing Nian Qing, she should be able to find some sense of responsibility, right? At the very least, I can bring him back to Su Yitian. "
Their eyes lit up.
Things didn't get any better. No matter how hard Tang YiRou pinched her own treasure and how sad Nian Qing cried, Su Yuewu didn't care. She no longer drank. She just sat in a daze every day, immersed in her own world.
Sometimes, they felt that the environment around them was too noisy, and they would even run to a place that was hard for them to find. Although she was still indifferent to the people around her and heartless to the chattering servants, but at least she still kept a trace of warmth towards those who cared about her.
Seeing how wronged she was, Dong Ni felt rather helpless. They still had their own matters to attend to and could only take care of most of them by express delivery. However, important matters could only be dealt with by themselves; it was very troublesome.
Ever since Bing'er had arrived, Su Yuewu was no longer at ease with the others. She had made every meal herself. Although Su Yuewu didn't eat much, Bing'er felt more at ease, and continued cooking with different dishes every day. Dong Ni went back to his own territory. No one knew what Rou'er was doing, but there was only a tiny Wu Xiangqing left in the room.
When the fat baby, Nian Qing, came in, he realized that there was no one in the large room. He was crying in a very wronged manner. Su Yuewu was standing on a peach blossom not far away from him, daydreaming. After being yelled at by her, that sorrowful aura couldn't be condensed no matter how hard she tried.
Hearing the child's voice become more and more hoarse, she finally couldn't bear to curse Rou Er in her heart. She rushed through the wall and hugged Nian Qing's body. When Nian Qing saw that the person who was hugging her was the beautiful aunt his mother always brought him to see, he stopped arguing and lay comfortably in her embrace. His hands began to wildly dance about in disarray. A bright smile appeared on his face.
Seeing her expression, Su Yuewu remembered that Tian Tian had been so naughty when she was little, and she finally laughed.
Outside the door, Tang Yiyi and Bing'er, who were carrying rice paste, also laughed.
