Jiaohua

Chapter 794
Xia Zhaoyi looked at his hands, there were many new calluses on his fingers, which were caused by pain again and again, his fingers became rough, his eyes were unusually red, and they were always itchy.

This body has never suffered from frostbite before, so this winter, I am afraid it will be difficult.

It's not that she didn't think about protecting herself, but without those protections, the current situation of her fingers might be even worse.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't know what to say, looked up at Shen Lie again, his eyes were calm and clean.

Shen Lie looked back into her eyes from her fingertips, asking for care and other words were redundant, and could only hope that her path would be made as quickly as possible.

The door was opened at this moment.

They looked away.

Bai Qingyuan greeted him personally.

The winter warm jacket at home is gentle and decent, the smile on her face is a little haggard, but Ya maintains her usual dignified and virtuous.

"Miss Ali," Bai Qingyuan said with a smile, "Long time no see."

There was a bit of embarrassment and discomfort in the smile.

"Hello Madam Bai." Xia Zhaoyi said.

"This is..." Bai Qingyuan looked at Shen Lie, suddenly amazed.

"I'm Shen Lie," Shen Lie said, "I've met Mrs. Bai."

Bai Qingyuan's painting skills are not as famous as her husband Tai Zicang, but he is also good at painting, looking with a pair of eyes, he can tell that he is a heavenly man.

Jade is the bone, the flower is the face, the words are respectful, and the expression is not even half arrogant, which makes Bai Qingyuan feel that he is alienated and cold, and dare not approach him.

Just like this girl Ali, she is the one who makes Bai Qingyuan feel uneasy.

"I've met Mr. Shen," Bai Qingyuan said, then looked at Xia Zhaoyi, raised his hand and made a request, "Miss Ali, it's cold outside, please come in quickly. The servants at home are ignorant, don't blame Miss Ali."

The house was rather cold, and when I entered, I saw the few servants and maids in Tai's mansion rushing to hold charcoal.

Bai Qingyuan is frugal, and Tai Zicang is not at home, so she will not burn charcoal if she can. Since winter, there has not been a day when the house is warm.

Bai Qingyuan ushered Xia Zhaoyi into the main hall. The charcoal fire was just starting, and the warmth came slowly. She served the brewed tea with her own hands. There were first-class pre-rain tea leaves floating in the micro-green tea. The sharp buds were like a small boat.

"Before the farewell, I was still wondering when I would see the girl next time. I didn't expect to see her before the end of the year. It's really great." Bai Qingyuan laughed after sitting down.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't like politeness, so he smiled and said directly: "Madam Bai has dealt with me many times, so she should understand my temperament. Love, unless it is valuable to me. Just like the three characters Tang Xiangsi written by Mrs. Bai on the street, I know it can draw me out."

The unease on Bai Qingyuan's face immediately became more obvious, and at the same time she was a little flustered, not knowing what she was going to say.

"Miss Ali, why do you have to mention..."

"But there is one thing that is nosy to me, and I have taken care of it," Xia Zhaoyi looked at her, "Madam Bai, that is the letter I wrote to you after I left Congxin."

Bai Qingyuan clenched his fingers suddenly, his face turned pale: "Miss Ali is talking about the letter about Chen Yongming."

"Brother Zhi and I left Congxin that day. We accidentally saw Chen Yongming and his daughter outside the city. At first I mistakenly thought that Chen Yongming was a down-and-out businessman who could help me a little. If you waste any more time, write these down on paper and send a letter to Madam, hoping that Madam will uphold justice for the Huang family sisters."

Bai Qingyuan lowered his head, his breathing rhythm was chaotic.

The warmth from several charcoal basins in the room slowly came, but she felt even colder, as if sitting on pins and needles.

"It seems that Mrs. Bai didn't take my letter seriously." Xia Zhaoyi said lightly.

"No, Miss Ali..." Bai Qingyuan didn't dare to look her in the eyes, making a weak mosquito sound.

"Actually, I could have arrested Chen Yongming and handed it over to the officials at the station." Xia Zhaoyi looked at her, "But Mrs. Bai, it was you who caused me to indirectly kill a person, and I wanted you to make amends." , but you didn’t do it at all. I got up this morning and went to inquire, and Chen Yongming escaped without a trace.”

"That girl hanged herself in the Tai'an restaurant. Well, it's not because you, Miss Ali, killed her." Bai Qingyuan tremblingly said.

"Madam Bai, when you said this, did your conscience hurt?"

Bai Qingyuan's eyes turned red, and his fingers trembled slightly.

"At that time, Chen Yongming asked his daughter to prepare clothes and dry food for him in two days. Did his daughter ask you for help?" Xia Zhaoyi continued.

Bai Qingyuan turned his head to look outside, not daring to answer.

"It seems that there is."

The snow outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind suddenly picked up, and a gust of snowflakes floated into the room, which was instantly melted by the melting warmth.

There was no sarcasm on Xia Zhaoyi's face. Since she sat down until now, she has been very calm. She speaks in a calm and gentle manner, but every word is like a star to Bai Qingyuan. nail.

Bai Qingyuan looked at the frost and snow all over the ground, not knowing what to do.

After hearing the servant woman say that the girl Ali is here, Bai Qingyuan began to feel uneasy.

She really thought that she would never see this famous girl Ali again. After all, this is just a small letter, and a strange woman like her has her feet all over the world.

"Shen Lie," Xia Zhaoyi looked at Shen Lie, "Let me tell you a story."

"Yeah." Shen Lie looked at her.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly, but turned his gaze to Bai Qingyuan: "There is a small county captain named Chen Yongming in Congxin Mansion. He is one of the officials that Tao Lan's husband and Yan Po are buying from Congxin. This Chen Yongming may be Chen Yongming's They killed Lady Xinyu in Yangchuanfang, intending to silence them, and then killed their mother at the gate of the Yamen. Lady Xinyu's younger sister, Huang Xinyue, was lucky enough to meet Mr. Xin Shun, who was afraid of her She was also killed, and she was specially protected in Tai'an Restaurant, but the gang still didn't let her go, they chased her to the restaurant several times, and even ran into my hand."

"Well, and then." Shen Lie asked.

"When Chen Yongming's incident happened, he set fire behind the yamen and killed a scapegoat. Although he escaped, his wife and daughter were taken away by the government. It just so happens that the Mrs. Bai in front of us is the same as Chen Yongming's wife. My friend asked me to help her rescue her friend. Chen Yongming deserved to die, but I thought his wife and daughter should not be dragged and implicated by him, so I went to Nie Huimo. Girl let go."

"But because of my actions... a girl whose family was ruined and who was hunted down everywhere completely gave up her life, and hanged herself in front of my door," Xia Zhaoyi's voice slowed down, "Before that girl died, she wrote Give me a note that says, fairness and justice."

"Ali," Shen Lie said in a low voice, "she is obsessed with her thoughts, she is a poor person, but her death has nothing to do with you. As you said, Chen Yongming's wife and daughter should not be implicated."

"However," Xia Zhaoyi looked at Bai Qingyuan's side face, "Chen Yongming's daughter is helping her evil father escape. I thought that this matter had something to do with Mrs. Bai, so I wrote to Mrs. Bai specifically to say this." The father and daughter will meet again in two days. I hope Mrs. Bai can let the government arrest Chen Yongming and give justice to the Huang family sisters, but in the end..."

"As a result," Shen Lie also looked at Bai Qingyuan, "This Mrs. Bai thought that you would never return, so not only did she not do so, but she even helped that daughter by providing material help so that Chen Yongming could escape better. is that so?"

"That's right." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Bai Qingyuan's tears fell down, and her whole body couldn't help trembling.

"She was crying," Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly, "Shen Lie, why is she crying?"

"It's definitely not because of conscience," Shen Lie said, "Crying because of the incident, she is afraid."

"These tears are really worthless." Xia Zhaoyi said.
