Chapter 129
Her voice was small, almost mumbling, "I thought they would blame me."

Duan Yi stretched out her hand and embraced her on her shoulders, "I will take revenge tonight."

Zhiqiao came to his senses, grasped the hilt of his sword, and said firmly, "I will take revenge tonight. After the great revenge is avenged, my life will belong to the girl. If the girl tells me to live, I will live. If the girl tells me to die, I will die." I shall die."

Duan Yi snapped and slapped her on the forehead, "What do I want your life for? Give it to my dear Lingji, who hates that there are no delicious bamboo shoots! You should listen to your mother and live well .”

She said, raising her finger to Cui Zigeng, "Stop talking, so as not to make people listen to the corner. I heard that Jiangnan people love to listen to operas. If this guy is smarter than a needle, use us as a libretto... ... Tsk tsk, then we will be famous."

Zhiqiao sat up straight, dumbfounded.

She wiped her eyes, poured a cup of tea for Duan Yi, and secretly glanced at Cui Zigeng.

Seeing him like an old monk in meditation, he was fascinated by the book and smiled softly.

Her girl was right about everything, but she was wrong about Cui Zigeng.

Her father once said that General Cui is a rare man of benevolence and righteousness.

Zhilu speaks quickly and forgets quickly. When the sugar water is served, Cui Zigeng also has a portion. Like Duan Yi, it is served with a plate of dim sum, including dense white sugar cake and sour haw jelly , and refreshing mung bean cake.

Duan Yi stuffed things indiscriminately, drank the sugar water, and led Zhilu to Duan Ming's yard.

It is said that it is Duan Ming's courtyard, but it is actually connected to the courtyard where Gu Xing and Duan Sixian live.

Before entering the door, from a distance away, one could hear the sound of a pot of porridge inside. In front of the threshold of the courtyard, there were two women sitting in whispers talking. When they saw Duan Yi coming, they panicked. They looked at each other and stood aside.

After she entered the door, she remembered to sing, "The third lady is here, the third lady is here to see Erlang."

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, which made people dizzy. The maidservant stood idly all over the room, and Gu Xing sat on the edge of the bed wiping her tears. When she saw Duan Yi coming, she stood up anxiously.

"Why did you come here? Your brother is not good. We are not familiar with Jincheng. He usually likes you the most, but you are not here at the crucial moment. It is all your fault for making him not listen to me, practicing east and west... ...you don't know what kind of body he is..."

"Shut up!" Duan Yi said coldly.

Gu Xing was taken aback for a moment, and just remembered that she and Duan Yi had fallen out a long time ago, and she became a little embarrassed, "What did you say?"

"Which one of the maids in this room is a doctor? They stand here, can they be used as medicine primers or something? Could it be that they are lined up, trying to dig out a heart and save my brother?"

Hearing the terrifying words, the servant girls in the room ran away in fright.

Duan Yi felt that her breathing was finally a little smoother.

"Where's my father? Is he dead? Duan Ming is not good. As a father, he doesn't care. You don't scold him, but you scold me?" Duan Yi said, looking at Gu Xing with piercing eyes.

Gu Xing flinched and shook her head, "Your father was still here before, I was afraid he was too tired... so I told him to go back and rest."

Duan Yi narrowed her eyes, "Did he go drinking with someone today? I saw him in the restaurant."

"What's drinking? I'm afraid the third sister read it wrong. Dad has been copying scriptures at home recently. He thought about holding a ritual ceremony during the Chinese New Year to worship the ancestors, let alone drinking wine. He didn't even eat much meat. He always I am a vegetarian."

"Ming'er was injured. Dad was the first to find out about it. He called Xue Langzhong. It's all my fault. We are always in front of him on weekdays, but I wanted to make chrysanthemum scented bags today, so I took Auntie there. In the garden..."

"The chrysanthemums won't bloom for a few days...it's all my fault."

Listening to Duan Hao's answer, Gu Xing nodded heavily, "That's right, that's right, you must have read it wrong."

Duan Yi said nothing, and walked towards Duan Ming's bed.

She stretched out her hand and covered the quilt for Duan Ming. The white jacket was not fastened, and it was half-opened, revealing the white cloth wrapped around her chest. The blood oozes slightly, and the location of the wound is quite subtle.

Duan Yi looked at it calmly, and saw that besides his chest, his arms were also wrapped with cloth strips, which looked bulging.

Duan Yi raised her hand and touched Duan Ming's forehead, but it wasn't hot.

He closed his eyes tightly, his face was pale and pale. On the small table next to him, there was still a small porcelain bowl, and the medicine in it was not finished, leaving a shallow bottom.

"Has little brother woke up?" Duan Yi asked.

Gu Xing had obviously regained her senses, she was a little afraid of her, and her voice completely lost the momentum that Duan Yi had when she first entered the door, "I woke up, and the doctor prescribed the medicine for calming the mind, and I fell asleep just after drinking it. I don't have a fever... ..."

She said, looked at Duan Yi's head, and asked stammeringly, "Where did you go, why did you get hurt?"

Seeing that Duan Yi didn't answer, Gu Xing said without embarrassment, "Your younger brother is in poor health. He passed out suddenly, which frightened me. I didn't see you before... Is it okay?"

Duan Yi shook her head and glanced at her, "It's okay. Since the little brother didn't wake up, I'll go back first. It's cold and windy at night, so you should close the doors and windows, go to bed early, and don't come out casually."

Gu Xing was taken aback, then nodded, "I will always guard Ming'er."

Duan Yi didn't speak, she stood up, but felt her hands tightened. Duan Ming's hand, at some point, grabbed her sleeve.Before she could speak, the hand spread out again, as if just now, it was just an unconscious movement in his sleep.

Knowing the way to the side, put down the medicinal materials, and followed Duan Yi out of the house.

Walking into the yard, the group of women saw her, like a mouse seeing a cat, clinging to the corner of the wall obediently, not daring to take a breath, Duan Yi turned her head and looked to the right.

There is a round moon gate, passing through the moon gate is the residence of Duan Sixian and Gu Xing.

"Miss, are you going to visit the master?"

Duan Yi shook her head, "Let's go, I'm quite annoying, so I won't disturb people's dreams."

She said, leading Zhilu, and walked out of the courtyard gate quickly.

The two women who were talking before stood respectfully in front of the door, one on the left and the other on the right. Seeing Duan Yi's back gradually go away, they let out a sigh of relief.

One of them, who was a little thinner, couldn't hold back and said, "I've been a mother-in-law for so many years, and this is the first time seeing off a guest like sending off a plague god."

The night of Jincheng opened on time.

After winter, the chrysanthemums in the yard finally failed to bloom, and the yellow and white silk fell to the ground.The hibiscus flowers that were in full bloom a few days ago have also passed their flowering period, and everything seems to have become chilled.

The wind rustled the bamboo in the yard.

The inspiration that was lingering there and refusing to leave seemed to sense that a storm was coming, and rushed towards the house.

The door of the yard was open, and Duan Yi was sitting inside, holding a lamp, waiting for the sword to come.
