Yaoguo Mansion, Wei Yan's study.After listening to Wei Jiu's investigation results, Wei Yan's face became solemn.In fact, the suicide of the Liyuan opera, if you have a heart, it is not difficult to investigate.It's just that except for people with a heart, who would really care about the life or death of a pear orchard actor who has nothing to do with him.Although Wei Xi didn't say anything after he came back, Wei Yan knew his little daughter and knew that although this child no longer mentioned it for fear that they would worry, he definitely couldn't let go of it in his heart.That's why Wei Jiu was instructed to investigate secretly.After pondering for a long time, Wei Yanfang asked the little guy guarding the door: "Xi'er is at home?"
”"Back to the second master, the third and second young ladies have just returned home.""
Go and ask Xi'er to come over.""
Yes."
Wei Xi came quickly.When the little maid next to her father came to look for her, and went to a place like the study, Wei Xi already had some guesses.When I got to the study and saw Wei Jiu who was also inside, the guess was almost confirmed."
Daddy sent Wei Jiu to investigate the suicide of Mo Nian in Liyuan?"
Wei Yan nodded, his expression was complicated, his face was entangled, and he sighed and said, "Xi'er, I have hesitated for a long time for my father, should I tell you the results of the investigation."
Although you don't say anything about this child, as a father, you also know that it is not so easy to let go of yesterday's events in your heart.So, it's up to you to decide whether to listen or not. ”Wei Xi looked at Wei Jiu, who was standing quietly aside, "Wei Jiu, you say." ”Wei Yan smiled bitterly when he saw this, it was really not what he expected.Wei Jiu hugged his fists towards Wei Xi, "Yes, Third Miss."
The subordinates investigated that before the New Year Festival last year, the Jiangzhuyuan Liyuan Opera Troupe was contracted by the Three Princes and entered the Three Princes' Mansion to sing operas, and only came out three days later.But there was one person who did not come out with him. ”"Is it Mo Nian?"
Wei Jiu nodded, "It has been another seven days since then, and someone in the Three Princes' Mansion carried out a small sedan chair and went to the pear orchard. ”After that, every few days, the small sedan chair would go back and forth between the pear orchard and the Three Princes' Mansion, or one day, the longest was three days.In addition, the subordinates also learned from the mouth of a little girl who was in charge of serving the Mo Nian girl in the pear orchard, and learned that "What do you know?"
”Wei Jiu couldn't help but lower his voice under Wei Xi's gaze, "I learned that every time Miss Mo Nian came back from the Third Prince's Mansion, she would be weak for several days.And since the beginning of the year, when bathing and dressing, never let people serve closely. ”"Xi'er?"
Wei Yan looked at his little daughter's expressionless face, and couldn't help but whisper worriedly.Wei Xi's body moved, "Daddy, I'm fine." ”Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "This matter involves the three princes.That Mo Nian girl acted so resolutely, and this matter spread all over the streets and alleys, and now the atmosphere in the court is also very tense. ”"Then Mo Nian's sin will be in vain?
Is this the freedom she bought by suicide?
”Facing the rhetorical question thrown by his little daughter, Wei Yan opened his mouth before he said with difficulty: "Xi'er, you have to be clear, this world is like this.Beneath the prosperity of the surface, there is a lot of cruel and distorted darkness, but it is all obscured. ”In this case, he would rather never tell his children for the rest of his life.But I am afraid that she will be passionate and angry, and finally sacrifice in the undercurrent that has been rancid and pus.This kid really doesn't dare to do anything.Wei Xi lowered his head and was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke: "Daddy, can you tell me about the court?"
”"In the court?"
Wei Yan didn't react and was stunned, "Why does Xi'er suddenly want to hear this?"
”"Curious."
Wei Yan: "That's fine. ”He also knew what his youngest daughter really wanted to hear, "Now above this court, His Majesty is old and healthy, and the six princes below are in the prime of life.The crown prince has been the prince for more than ten years, and now seeing that His Majesty is gradually unable to do it, coupled with the purging of some of the courtiers below, he has begun to act frequently.The crown prince and the six princes have always been at odds, and the six princes are now the same as the crown prince, and they also have the desire to fight for the supreme position.But after all, the crown prince was right, so he won over the third prince and the seventh prince.The sixth prince formed an alliance with the eldest prince.In addition to the tug-of-war between the two forces of the crown prince and the six princes, now only the nine princes, that is, His Royal Highness the King of Yue, are not biased towards either side. ”"Who does the Yaoguo Mansion support?"
Wei Xi's sudden seven words directly stunned Wei Yan.And then when he didn't know how to get back.Wei Xi: "My daughter knows." ”Wei Yan: "Girl, what do you know?
Wei Xi: "Dad, I want to meet Mo Nian." ”The old father, who could never keep up with his little daughter's train of thought, waved his hand tiredly, "Go, pay attention to safety on the road, and let Wei Jiu follow you." ”Wei Xi blessed her body, "My daughter retired." ”Here Wei Xi took Xiao Qi and Wei Jiu out of the house, and Wei Yun only knew.Stand up, and you're going to catch up.But Fu Yuheng grabbed her next to her."
Mother?"
Fu Yuheng pressed Wei Yun and sat down again, "Yun'er, if you care, it's chaotic." ”Wei Yun paused, and slowly calmed down.Fu Yuheng didn't catch her at this time, "Xi'er has always had her own prejudices about doing things, we care about her, but we can't go too far." ”Wei Yun pursed his lips, "It's because I'm too nervous." ”The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled a little relieved.Then to the pear orchard.The court is full of cold silence, and it is no longer the excitement of yesterday.Wei Xi took Xiao Qi and Wei Jiu to knock on the gate of the pear orchard.Soon someone opened the door and poked their head out, "Is that you?"
”Wei Xi didn't expect that the person who opened the door was still an acquaintance, and it was the one who talked to him yesterday, "I'm here to visit Miss Mo Nian." ”The man hesitated a little, thinking that it was the young lady's reminder in front of him that saved Mo Nian's life, and finally let the person in, "This young lady, please follow me." ”Wei Xi bowed his head and followed him into the gate of the pear orchard.Bypassing the stage is a neat three-entry courtyard, in which all the people in the troupe live.Mo Nian, as the head of the family, has a small yard by himself.The door of the small courtyard was open, and the man walked in with Wei Xi and stopped at the door of a room, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.Soon there was a sound of footsteps inside, and after the door was opened, a little girl in a lake blue skirt looked outside, her eyes were red and she looked like she had just cried, "Brother Zhuzi, why are you here, who is this young lady?"
”"This is the young lady who saved Mo Nian's life yesterday, and she came to visit."
When the little girl heard this, her eyes were suddenly full of gratitude when she looked at Wei Xi, but there was a little more difficulty on her face.Until a weak female voice sounded in the room, "Taotao, please let that young lady in." ”Tao Tao hurriedly turned around and responded, and then turned sideways and made a gesture to Wei Xi to please, "Miss, please come in." ”Wei Xi first ordered Xiao Qi to wait outside the house with Wei Jiu, and paused in place before raising his feet and entering the house.The room was somewhat empty, and there was a smell of medicine.Entering the room, Tao Tao whispered to the person on the bed, "Girl." ”The man lying on the bed turned his head to look over.Only then did Wei Xi see the true face of this Mo Nian girl under the makeup.Enchanting but not glamorous, it is an extremely charming beauty.This pear orchard is plain, and it is this bright color hidden in it.Wei Xi stood a foot away from her, "Miss Mo Nian." ”Mo Nian lowered his eyes, and didn't say a word of thanks to you for saving my life, "Why did Miss come?"
”"For myself.""
I want to hear about it."
The silence in the room was a little excessive, Tao Tao stood aside a little at a loss, but under Mo Nian's eyes, she moved a stool from the side, "Miss, please take a seat." ”Wei Xi thanked her and sat down, "Please also ask Miss Taotao to stay away for a while." ”Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at her girl.Mo Nian nodded lightly, "Go ahead." ”The door behind him was gently closed, and listening to the footsteps gradually moving away, Wei Xi looked at Mo Nian, who was motionless with his eyes hanging down on the bed, "Before I came, I just learned about you." ”"How much?""
Pretty much everything you should know.""
Then you should also know that I might as well be dead if I am alive like this."
Wei Xi paused, "Miss Mo Nian, I understand your pain. ”"Understood?"
Mo Nian almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and looked at Wei Xi, "If I am not wrong and guess wrong, you are such a noble girl, born with fine clothes and fine food, smooth and worry-free, how can you understand us people who are struggling in the mud?"
”"Yesterday, I watched you sing, and when you sang the first line, I felt that you were planning to commit suicide."
Mo Nian was stunned.Wei Xi ignored her, and Gu Zi continued: "I am more sensitive to other people's emotions, and your desire to commit suicide is too strong, which affects me. ”For the first time since yesterday's despair, Mo Nian felt surprised by someone else's words."
How is this possible?""
Nothing is impossible.Otherwise, why was my sister able to rush to the stage yesterday and knock down the sword in your hand?
”"That girl yesterday is your sister?"
Wei Xi nodded, "Then do you believe it now?"
While you were singing yesterday, I was forced to go through a similar level of despair with you. ”Mo Nian's expression was a little stunned, and under Wei Xi's gaze, he nodded a little stiffly."
Then I'm sorry to you?"
Wei Xi: "For your miserable sake, I forgive you." ”I don't know why, looking at the girl in front of me and saying with an expressionless face I forgive you, Mo Nian actually wanted to laugh a little.In fact, she really laughed too.I just didn't notice it.Wei Xi saw it, and the fist hidden in his sleeve loosened, "On the way here, I put myself in my shoes and thought about it.If I were faced with your current situation, I would look for every opportunity to kill Zong Jue and talk about anything else. ”When he heard the words Zong Jue, Mo Nian's face twitched uncontrollably, and after he was done, he felt that the little girl in front of him was very innocent, "If I do this, whether I succeed or not, it will affect everyone in this pear orchard." ”"No," Wei Xi interrupted her directly, "You have never had the idea of resisting, endure silently, endure silently, and then you can't hold on and die." ”Mo Nian didn't expect Wei Xi to be so sharp and reveal her weakness so directly, "That's right, I don't dare." ”The biggest revenge she can think of is to end her life on the stage, under everyone's attention.It's also a relief.Wei Xi sat up on the stool, walked to the side of the bed, reached out and touched the gauze wrapped around Mo Nian's neck without warning, and said softly in Mo Nian's inexplicable gaze: "I saved your life, so, will you give me your life?"
