Chapter 38: The Desolate Rong Mansion
At this time, the flowers were blooming, and they had lost their brilliance and splendor of the previous daysβthe mahogany building had collapsed, the flower pots had fallen to the ground, and the candles were rolling everywhere......
Seeing these vaguely, Xiyan's heart still couldn't help but twitch together, she felt that she was about to pass out, but in the blur, the inexplicable fragrance seemed to still linger in the air, rubbing the tip of her nose and laughing at herself.
"Spring return, do you smell anything?"
Chungui sniffed it carefully, shook his head, and said, "Except for the smell of burning, there is no smell." β
"No, you sniff it carefully."
But Chungui still shook his head, "Maybe, the smell of flowers." β
The floral fragrance is very pure and clean, and Xiyan feels that the taste is thicker than the floral fragrance, and it is by no means a simple floral fragrance. It's that smell, the greasy smell I smelled that day, even though the wind and rain have passed, the smell is still there.
She searched for a while, there was nothing but messes and ashes, and after another quarter of an hour, she comforted and worriedly and said, "Maybe I'm too sensitive, let's go, let's go back to Rongfu first." β
His suspicions have been told to Chu Yan, and he will definitely come to investigate.
The two walked for a long time before they arrived at the gate of Rongfu.
Although Deng Songyue's death ended the unspeakable disaster caused by the fire, it also brought another ordeal to Xiyan.
At this time, the Rong Mansion once again fell into a state of misery.
Deng Songyue died too suddenly, so that Aunt Deng, who loved him the most, did not have any psychological preparation, originally Aunt Deng was arrogant, mostly because Deng Songyue became a celebrity next to the prince, but she didn't know that "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", and there would be a danger of losing her head at any time.
At this moment, Deng Songyue's body was still in Rongfu and was not sent back to his hometown in Linxian County.
Xiyan didn't want to go over, but he still took a step forward - no matter how hateful Deng Songyue was in life, he was already dead at this time, and there was nothing to forgive.
Far away, she saw the haggard Aunt Deng, Deng Songyue grew up with her since she was a child, she treated him like her own son, and now he died suddenly, and then she was hard-hearted like Aunt Deng, and she was also extremely sad. The sadness in her eyes was definitely greater than when Rong Guogong died, and at this moment her eyes were full of scarlet and her whole body was sad.
After seeing Xiyan come back, he came up and pounced on her, "You still have the face to come back!" You broom star, you killed Chun Yue. I'm going to make you pay for your life!! β
She scolded and wanted to hit Xiyan at the same time, and Chungui hurriedly blocked in front of Xiyan and received that slap. Immediately afterwards, Aunt Deng was pulled by someone.
She pointed at Xiyan and howled loudly, "What do you say you made those candles for?" Why didn't you die? Why don't you die, why is it my Songyue? I'm so miserable! β
Xiyan knows her sadness, but she doesn't know who is at fault in this matter, can she apologize?
No.
Xiyan is not such a cowardly person who does not distinguish between black and white, she escaped Aunt Deng's beating, she turned her head and prepared to return to Zhudiexuan.
The injury on Rong Xifu's face has not healed yet, standing aside and sobbing, Deng Songyue once promised her that she would definitely find an opportunity to push her to the crown prince and become the crown princess one day.
But now her hopes are dashed, she thinks that the prince has a soft spot for Xiyan that day, it was Xiyan who ruined all her thoughts, she wanted to become a phoenix, but since she was a child, Xiyan, the second lady, plus her father's preference and the family business left by her mother, as well as Xiyan's natural beauty, everything overshadowed her Rong Xifu. It was her cousin Deng Songyue who gave her a little hope, and now she believes that it was Xiyan who killed her cousin, she hated Xiyan, and she wished she died immediately!
"I know how to seduce the prince! Shameless vixen! She scolded viciously.
Xiyan raised her eyes and glanced at Rong Xifu, who was full of hatred, she didn't want to quarrel with them at this time, but thinking that there would be only a few women in this family in the future, if she blindly put up with it, I am afraid that she would not be able to stay in Rong Mansion at all in the future.
She originally turned her head and left, but when she heard her scolding, she pressed forward step by step, approached Rong Xifu, and whispered, "Who is seducing the prince, who knows best in his heart; Whoever sent himself up, the prince disdained to look at it, who knew best in his heart; Who lined up a good dance and dedicated it to the prince attempted, who knows best. Therefore, I advise you to quickly accept your poor inferiority complex, stay here in peace with your mother, find someone to marry, and don't go out and be embarrassed! β
After Xiyan finished speaking, she turned around and left, but the word by word struck Rong Xifu's scarred heart fiercely, and she stomped her feet in anger, but when it came to quarrels, she had never won the current Xiyan.
She could only point to Xiyan's back and scold, "Rong Xiyan, you slut!" I'll grab whatever you want in the future! Shameless slut! β
Xiyan didn't pause and strode back to Zhudiexuan, but she knew in her heart that Deng Songyue's death had given her two more enemies, and God seemed to have been increasing the difficulty of her life, making her walk on thin ice at every step!
"Girl," Chun Gui saw her walking faster and faster, only to catch up and find that Xi Yan's eyes were full of tears.
Xiyan in this life is only 14 years old, although he has the memory of 22 years old in the 21st century, but everything has been suppressed by this life, and he can't get out of the tension, "Spring returns, I ......"
Chungui stepped forward and hugged her, "Don't be afraid, girl, it's good for the Ninth Prince to come out." He'll help us. β
Oh, yes! Chu Yan......
In this life, she seems to have only Chu Yan, but fortunately, she has Chu Yan.
But how is Chu Yan now?
β¦β¦
After returning to Zhudiexuan, Xiyan seemed to be able to hear Aunt Deng crying, and the tearing sound was in her ears. She sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.
Chungui asked people to boil hot water for her, and waited for her to bathe and change clothes, although Xiyan's face was pale, but also a little energetic, inadvertently saw the flowers sent by Chu Shi, and remembered his words in his heart, remembering Chu Yan.
It was a few more moments before she came back to her senses and went to bed.
When the spring return was about to turn off the lights and leave, she suddenly asked, "Hasn't the person sent to inquire about my cousin and cousin come back yet?" β
Chungui stood in the darkness and said softly, "Not yet." Girl, don't bother, get some sleep, tomorrow morning there should be a letter. β
"You go to bed early, too!" Before Chun returned to leave, Xiyan suddenly remembered and asked, "Qiu Shu is not here?" Why didn't I see her. β
Chungui didn't see Qiu Shu either, "Oh, I'll go see if she's in the room." β
"No, you can go back and rest. Maybe she didn't know that it was so late, and I would come back, and I had already fallen asleep. "Hey......"
Listening to the light rain outside, Xiyan lay down.
In her sleep, her brows were always furrowed tightly, and her eyelashes trembled from time to time
