Wei Luo cried for a full quarter of an hour, and a large piece of clothes on Zhao Jie's chest was wet from crying. I don't know where so many tears come from such a small person. Her sobbing turned into wailing, and from wailing to sobbing, and finally she wiped her tears in his arms, Zhao Jie was worried that she would faint from crying.
The winter nights are really cold, and crying like this is not an option. Zhao Jie had no choice but to wipe away the tears on her face with his sleeve, coaxing her while wiping her tears: "Ah Luo is obedient, stop crying."
She tilted her head to avoid it, her long eyelashes fluttered, and her little voice said softly, "It hurts..."
Zhao Jie paused, and it took a while to realize that she thought the fabric of the crane cloak was too rough, and it hurt her face. He reluctantly lifted his lips and wiped her tears with his fingers instead. She didn't say anything, but she couldn't help thinking in her heart that it was such a delicate little girl who just walked several miles of mountain roads with him without complaining.
After Wei Luo cried to her heart's content, the resentment that had been smoldering in her heart finally dissipated. She has no relationship with this couple anymore, and has no connection with Longshou Village. The event that hit her hardest in her previous life finally came to an end. She turned her head to look at Lin Huilian who was lying on the ground, then looked at Bai Yang who was stiff all over, and pursed her lips: "Big brother, I hate them."
Zhao Jie stood up and put his palms on her shoulders, as if in a gesture of protection: "Then what do you want to do with them?"
Hearing this, Bai Yang shuddered violently, and looked at the two people, one big and one small, with a very bad premonition.
Sure enough, Wei Luo's next sentence was: "They are so worried about their son, why don't they bury themselves and go to the ground to accompany him." The sweet voice said cruel words without any fluctuation in tone, as if discussing extremely sparse usual thing. She thought it through, so they didn't have to worry about whether others would take good care of them, and they would feel more at ease doing it themselves than others.
Zhao Jie had no objection at all, "Okay, I will do as you say."
Bai Yang's eyes widened in panic, and he shook his head: "No, no... I beg you, my lord, to avoid us..."
Lin Huilian on the side heard this, and kowtowed to beg for mercy with the severe pain, her bloody hands were put on the ground, "We were just confused for a while..."
How could it be a moment of confusion? They have been preparing for this matter for several years. If they want to wake up, they should have woken up long ago. Why wait until now. They are insane, so they cannot blame others for being cruel to them.
Wei Luo didn't have any intention of changing her mind, she buried her head in Zhao Jie's shoulder, and simply ignored it.
Simply burying them alive was too cheap, so Zhu Geng removed the joints of Bai Yang's limbs, tied them with rope, and threw them directly into the coffin. Bai Yang's face turned pale from the pain, and before she could open her mouth to beg for mercy, Lin Huilian was also bound and thrown down. The coffin is not big, it is really crowded to accommodate two people, plus there is a set of bones, the two of them will inevitably bump into the bones of their son, and they will be buried under their bodies, which seems quite intrusive in this wilderness.
Bai Yang broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted recklessly: "Help—"
After finishing speaking, the coffin lid closed with a "bang", which cut off his voice and all his hopes.
Lin Huilian and Bai Yang felt ashamed and fell into despair.
After all, Zhu Geng didn't really bury the two of them alive, but locked them in the coffin overnight as punishment. The next day, the villagers of Longshou Village discovered that they were missing. Several people went up the mountain to look for them, and happened to see a coffin exposed outside. The villagers remembered what they did last night, and couldn't help opening the lid of the coffin to have a look. Unexpectedly, Lin Huilian and Bai Yang were lying inside!
Lin Huilian had already lost a lot of blood and was already in a coma. Zhu Geng removed Bai Yang's hands and feet and was unable to move. In the end, she was carried home.
That afternoon, someone reported the two of them to the local government, and the government sent yamen servants to arrest them. Lin Huilian and Bai Yang complained that they were wronged, but when they went to the court to see it, they immediately silenced. Not only Bai Lan was present, but also the three people who taught them a lesson last night were also there. One of them, a luxuriously dressed young man, was sitting next to the magistrate. The magistrate respected him and even served him tea.
Only then did the two of them realize that they had provoked a very important person.
The case came to an end almost without a trial. Prince Jing personally testified, and Bai Lan, the victim, gave a statement. The county magistrate slapped the gavel and beat the two of them with 30 boards each. They were imprisoned and served three years of hard labor! In addition, the people in Longshou Village did not report the news, and each household was fined ten stones of grain, which was turned over to the public. In this way, the matter is considered a satisfactory end.
Afterwards, the county magistrate personally sent Zhao Jie to the carriage back to Shengjing City, smiling all the way, not daring to neglect in the slightest. Not only that, but also prepared a carriage for Bai Lan, and followed Zhao Jie's carriage to Shengjing City.
Wei Luo once asked Bai Lan if she would like to return to Beijing to be her maid.
Ever since Bai Lan knew that she came here to save him, she was very grateful to her, and immediately expressed that she would follow her wholeheartedly. As long as there is a place to settle down, I am willing to be a maid. What's more, Bai Lan is now homeless, Longshou Village absolutely cannot go back, there is no longer room for her, so, going to the British government to be a maid has become the best choice, at least you don't have to starve and sleep in the open street.
Sitting in the carriage behind, Bai Lan thought about Wei Luo's good year, and secretly swore in her heart that she would serve Fourth Miss steadfastly in the future in order to repay her life-saving grace.
On the way back to Beijing, inside Wang Qinggai's car.
Wei Luo pretended not to see Zhao Jie's gaze, and lowered her head to compete with a plate of fried pine nuts. She has been eating pine nuts since she got in the car, and she looks like a little mouse. While eating, the jade plate in front of her was taken away by a bony hand, she had no choice but to look up to the other side.
Zhao Jie put the plate by his side, looked at her calmly with pitch-black pupils, slightly pursed thin lips, and raised eyebrows. He obviously didn't say a word, but he seemed to say everything.
His reaction at this time is also normal. She tricked him here, everything was weird, and she didn't explain anything to him. It would have been unbearable for anyone else, but he obeyed her and waited until the matter was over before asking her any questions.
Along the way, Wei Luo was somewhat grateful to him, and was not as wary of him as before, her voice softened, and she called sweetly, "Big brother, I want to eat pine nuts."
Zhao Jie was unmoved, with a smile in his eyes, "Tell big brother what's going on, and I'll let you continue eating."
Wei Luo blinked and said innocently and cutely, "What's going on?"
He was intriguing: "What do you think?" After speaking, he remembered that he was facing a young girl who was not enlightened, and his oppressive methods could not be used, so he asked, "Why are you so familiar with that place?"
Wei Luo had thought about these questions a long time ago, and when he asked her now, she answered in a decent way: "I've been to that place before."
Zhao Jie raised his eyebrows.
She continued: "One time my father took me with him when he went on a long trip. It rained heavily on the way back and we couldn't walk. We happened to pass by there and stayed at a person's house for one night." She said that person It was Bai Lan, and Bai Lan even wove a silk flower for her, which she still remembers to this day. "Later, sister Bai Lan came to Shengjing City to sell silk flowers. I recognized her and asked her to come to the Duke's Mansion every half a month to deliver silk flowers."
Zhao Jie remembered what Yang Hao reported. There was indeed a girl who would go to the British government every half a month, and she looked quite familiar with her.
Ah Luo rested her cheeks and sighed sadly: "One time, sister Bai Lan said that she would never come again, and I asked her what was the matter... She refused to tell at first, but she told me after I begged her." Mine." The little girl pursed her mouth, pretending to be about to cry, "She never came again, I was worried that something might happen to her, so I asked you to bring me here."
After all, she raised her wet eyes to look at him, her eyes were clear, not like lying.
Zhao Jie looked at her, raised his hand, and slowly rubbed the little red mole between her eyebrows, without speaking. The little girl made a reasonable explanation, but for some reason he just couldn't quite believe her. She is scheming and has complicated thoughts. Is it really just for such a simple reason to come here
Then why did she cry so sad and wronged last night? Her resentment towards that woman, the moment she stabbed fiercely with the hairpin, cannot be explained in just a few words.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Wei Luo called him, pointed to the jade dish in his hand and asked, "Can I eat it?"
Zhao Jie bent his lips and said slowly, "Eat."
Maybe he was thinking too much, or maybe she really had something to hide from him. It doesn't matter if it's the latter, she doesn't want to say it, he is not in a hurry to force her, one day he will know everything.
The carriage slowly drove into Shengjing City and stopped at the gate of the British government.
Wei Luo didn't return all day and all night, which made the people in the Duke's mansion very anxious. Wei Kun ordered people to search the city, but they couldn't find her. If Prince Jing's people hadn't told him this morning that Ah Luo was with Zhao Jie and there was no danger, he might have gone crazy by now.
Wei Kun was shocked when he learned that they were going to rescue someone last night, and when Zhao Jie left, he hurriedly asked Wei Luo what was going on. Wei Luo then said the exact same words again, except that the part where she and Wei Kun passed by Longshou Village was omitted. When she was three years old, Wei Kun did take her on a long trip, but they didn't pass by Longshou Village, and it didn't rain heavily. They went all the way back to the capital unimpeded, and nothing happened.
After hearing this, Wei Kun hugged her onto his lap, and said fearfully, "Ah Luo, no matter who has something to do in the future, they can't go to such a dangerous place."
Wei Luo nodded ignorantly, expressing that she heard it.
She's not going, never going to that place again. She has been the fourth lady of the British government all her life, well-clothed and well-fed, pampered and pampered. The little girl with two four-strand braids and a floral skirt has nothing to do with her anymore.
After Zhao Jie returned to the mansion, he ordered Zhu Geng to investigate. Wei Kun did go to Yangzhou five years ago, and he only brought Wei Luo and Chang Hong with him. When returning to Beijing, he will indeed pass through the Longshou Village section of the road, but it has been too long to find out whether he has stayed overnight.
British government.
After this incident, Wei Luo accepted Adai as her personal servant girl to take care of her daily life. She thought the name A Dai was too casual, so she asked her to continue using the name Bai Lan. This use is for many years.
Wei Luo grew up quietly in the British government. She went to Han's Orchid Wing most often every day. She washed and bathed with Han's fragrant dew, and she became more and more delicate and tender. In the blink of an eye, a few springs and autumns have passed, and the little girl who used to be carved with powder and jade has grown into a cardamom girl with unparalleled appearance in the blink of an eye.
