A day later, Jiang Xixi came to Cheng Dexuan's study again, she gently closed the door, and stood still, looking at the old back in front of her.
"What did the girl say?"
"She uh agreed."
Cheng Dexuan turned his head, the corners of his mouth curled up a little, "It's not unusual for her to agree, but is she willing to be a concubine?"
” Jiang Xixi licked her dry lips, "Miss Yan is very refreshing, it doesn't matter if she says that the concubine is in the main room, as long as she can marry into the Cheng family." ” Cheng Dexuan shook his head and smiled, "It's really a smart person, that's fine, I'll set the date in the next few days, make some preparations, and marry Miss Yan as soon as possible." ” "Master" Jiang regretted it.
"What?
What other conditions did she put forward that could not be met?
Do you want more dowry, or something else?
” "No, it's not Miss Yan, it's an adult."
Cheng Dexuan was stunned, "Pastoral travel?
” Jiang Xixi bit her lip and nodded, "After Miss Yan agreed, I told the adult the news, I thought he would be happy, but I didn't think about him and he refused." ” "He doesn't agree?"
Jiang Xixi walked outside the door and stared at the bright full moon above his head for a long time, then sighed and walked down the steps.
The events of the day replayed in her mind over and over again, and she couldn't figure out why these two men had two completely different reactions to marriage, and each one was unexpected.
After Yan Niang heard her tentative question, she agreed without thinking about it, and that appearance was no different from agreeing to embroider a handkerchief for someone.
However, when she happily informed Cheng Muyou of the matter, he refused with a serious face, and even reprimanded her a little angrily, asking her not to meddle in her affairs and save an uncontrollable situation.
But that's not how it should be, is it?
The two of them, one is affectionate and the other is ruthless, which is true, but now, the affectionate one does not agree to the marriage, and the ruthless one readily agrees.
It was cold, and a gust of night wind blew, freezing Jiang Xi and dragging her out of her hard thinking.
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and walked towards the courtyard with her arms rubbed together.
"Whew."
Another gust of wind swept up the yellow curly leaves on the ground, tossed them up and dropped them again.
In this chaos, Jiang Xixi suddenly saw a little red hanging in the air not far ahead, the size of a finger's belly, and a red that was intensely close to blood.
At first, she thought it was the eyes of a night owl, but after staring at it for a long time, she found that the red was getting bigger and bigger, as if it was waving towards where she was standing.
Jiang Xixi stared at the red as if she was obsessed, and it was not until she was less than three feet away from it that she could see what kind of animal's eyes it was, it was a flame in a lantern, a miserable white lantern that had lost its color.
She had seen the lantern, and it had been kept in a cabinet by Madame, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.
But now, behind the lantern was only a dark night, and there was not half a figure, and it just floated out of thin air among the flying dead leaves, and was blown from side to side by the wind, and even the flames inside shook with it, making the red more and more faint.
A drop of cold sweat ran down Jiang Xixi's forehead, her mouth moved a few times, and she finally squeezed out two words from her dry throat: "Madam" After saying it, he suddenly "chuckled" in his heart: Mrs. died of illness not long after giving birth to Xun'er, so who will be the invisible person standing behind the lantern now, is it really Madame's soul?
Why did she come to herself, did she make her unhappy by arranging the marriage between the adult and Yan Niang?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xixi's heart beat wildly, but he said a sentence that he couldn't hear clearly, "Madam, the adult has lived alone for many years, and there are many inconveniences in life, and Xun'er also needs someone who can take care of him, so the master wants to recruit new people for the adult, and the lady should not blame."
At this point, she stopped suddenly, for a hand slowly reached out of the darkness, a soft, pale hand.
The slender fingers reached Jiang Xixi's chest through the night, and stopped moving, and before long, the five fingers suddenly opened wide, and the fingertips were hooked, as if they were in great pain.
Suddenly, the hand froze suddenly, and a faint touch of dark blue appeared on the fingertips.
It drooped down, like a limp corpse, silently retreating, and finally disappeared into the darkness again.
The lantern was still fluttering in the wind, and the flames inside were burning higher and higher, and with a "bang", the flames broke through the shackles and turned into a hideous smiling face in mid-air, igniting a terrifying black smoke, and countless paper ashes fell from the air, piling up a thick layer of ashes on the ground.
At the same time, the door behind him was pushed open with a "bang", Cheng Dexuan walked out, frowned and said to Jiang Xixi, "What's wrong?"
Who were you talking to?
” Jiang Xixi turned around and said incoherently, "Master, I see that I seem to have seen Xun'er's mother." ” Cheng Dexuan stood in front of the door for a long time without saying a word, and finally walked down the steps slowly, every step he took was extremely heavy, as if he had exhausted all his spare strength.
Finally, he walked up to Jiang Xixi and asked word by word, "What did you say?"
Did you see Xun'er's mother?
” Jiang Xixi nodded desperately, "Although Madame didn't show up, I recognized her hand, she was carrying a lantern, and she was standing here." ” She pointed forward, only to find that the thick layer of paper ash that had been lying on the ground was gone, and now, there were only a few lonely dead leaves, which were "rustling" by the wind.
"What did she say to you?"
Cheng Dexuan's voice was stiff, as if he had been frozen.
Madame said nothing, but her fingers were hooked, as if she were tormented and unbearable.
Cheng Dexuan's body moved slightly, and his gaze pierced through the darkness and landed in an unknown corner.
Oh, he turned around slowly, walked up the steps again with his hands behind his back, and when he stepped into the house, he suddenly turned around and said, "Don't tell Mu You about tonight, so that he won't be more worried after listening to it, and he won't want to marry a wife." ” Jiang Xixi said "yes" and watched Cheng Dexuan walk into the room.

She noticed that his back was a little bent compared to the previous day, and he seemed to be under pressure to speak to others.
