Chapter 395 Ting Zhongyu

A hint of interest floated on Du Shiqi's weak face.She waved her hand, and the two maids behind her bowed and retreated as if they were pardoned. The maid holding the flower cup even forgot to pick up the dagger in the snow.

Seeing the two of them walking away, Caixuan took two steps forward, leaned in front of Du Shiqi and said softly, "Madam Li's situation is not quite right."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Du Shiqi was leisurely playing with the warm bag in his hand.

Caixuan's complexion was a little ugly, she hesitated for a while, then she lowered her voice and said, "Why don't you go back to the room and talk about it, there are some things that are... hard to say." She looked around uneasily as she spoke, her eyes There was a rare hint of fear in his usually calm eyes.

"Is that so..." Du Shiqi dragged his voice unhurriedly, but instead of walking towards the garden gate, he walked slowly to the edge of the path, bending over to pick up the dagger that had just dropped.

Seeing this, Caixuan quickly took a few steps forward to pick up the dagger, wiped it off with her sleeves, and held it to Du Shiqi with both hands, the fear in her eyes became more intense, and she whispered: "Please forgive me, girl." The crime is not that I refuse to go into details here, but that Mrs. Li's situation is really... hard to describe in words, I'd better wait until I get back to the house and retreat from the crowd, and then I will tell the girl in detail."

"Is it so troublesome?" Du Shiqi turned his head to look at Caixuan, raising two thin eyebrows: "What could happen to Aunt Li? Isn't it just that she has been ill recently, so what can she do? "She said nonchalantly, took the dagger and put it back into its sheath.

Caixuan's expression was not as relaxed as hers. She frowned, as if she was trying her best to suppress her emotions, and tried to persuade again: "Girl, you should go back, this is not a place to talk."

Du Shiqi let out a chuckle, stretched out his fingers and pointed around, and said in a low voice, "This place is empty and uninhabited, isn't it good to talk? Is it not as good as my house?" She walked while talking. Lightly came to the wintersweet tree, and kicked the tree lightly with a little childishness, and the snow on the branch floated down again, reflecting the sun one after another, like fine crumbs made of crystal .

Caixuan was stunned when she heard the words, but immediately realized it, and said with a wry smile: "The girl is unparalleled, but I am confused."

She was indeed in shock just now, that's why she didn't understand what Du Shiqi meant.Now it seems that the garden is obviously a more suitable place for secret talks.Especially at this moment, the trees are withered, and the field of vision is very far away. As long as someone appears, they will definitely be spotted by them.

Du Shiqi smiled when he heard the words, pointed forward with a tender finger, and said: "Forget it, let's go to the pavilion. It seems that you have encountered a big problem, and there is more trouble than here." Easy to talk about."

Caixuan looked in the direction of her finger, but saw that there was a hexagonal pavilion on the rockery not far from Wintersweet, which was the highest point in the whole garden, and there was no enclosure on all sides. Can't hide people.If you stand in the pavilion and speak, you will never be afraid of being heard.

Caixuan immediately stepped forward to support Du Shiqi's arm, and said: "The girl is right, I will help the girl over."

The master and the servant left the wax plum, walking leisurely as if taking a walk, and slowly came to the Liujiao Pavilion.

There was snow everywhere in the pavilion, and there was some snow on the railings.Caixuan frowned and brushed out a clean spot with her sleeves, then put the silk scarf on it, and asked Du Shiqi to sit down.

Du Shiqi didn't pay much attention, he sat leisurely on the railing and said, "Now you can finally talk, what happened to Aunt Li?"

Caixuan's expression had calmed down at this moment, and upon hearing this, she took two steps forward, leaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "If you want to go back to the girl, the matter needs to start with me going to Mrs. Li's place to say hello. I'm going today At that time, I found that there were several unfamiliar servants at the gate of Mrs. Li's yard, and there were more people than when I went two days ago. Listening to their accents, I think they seem to come from Dadu."

"Well, I know about this too." Du Shiqi said.

Mrs. Li was getting sicker and sicker. Mrs. Zhou—that is, Du Xiaoqi's third wife—now the head of the Du Mansion in Dadu sent a lot of people from Dadu, it is said that they came to take care of Mrs. Li .

Du Shiqi curled his lips.

The caregiver takes care of the people's yard to death, which is really "meticulous".

At this time, Caixuan said again: "After I went, I said that I was sent by a girl to greet Mrs. Li, but the servants didn't say anything, and passed the message in according to the rules, but the result was still the same as before. Same, Mrs. Li replied that she was recuperating from illness and didn’t see any guests. The girl also knows that Mrs. Li has never seen anyone since she got sick, and she didn’t even want to see Mr. Sirang, so I didn’t feel anything, so I left.”

Du Shiqi lightly frowned and listened to her words, at this moment he sighed slightly, and said softly: "Fourth brother is the most filial, but it's a pity that Aunt Li's temper..." She paused, her tone became sad, Sighed: "Fourth brother is really pitiful. However, Aunt Li cannot be blamed for this. She is sick and will never be in a good mood."

If you only listen to her voice, you will feel that the woman who speaks is very kind and knows how to care for others.However, what Caixuan saw in front of her eyes was a beautiful smiling face, and the sharp and delicate chin had some lovely wrinkles due to the smile, showing a kind of sweetness even more.The so-called melancholy and sadness can't be seen at all on this smiling face.

At that moment, Du Shiqi seemed to be divided into two people, one with a happy smile on his face, and the other with a sigh of regret.

Even if Caixuan knew her true face, she couldn't help feeling chills down her back at this moment.

She lowered her head, her lowered eyes were filled with a complex expression of hatred and taboo, and soon she turned into a numbness again, but she said a compliment: "The girl is a kind person, and no one in the house knows it even……"

"Don't interrupt, just keep talking." Before she could finish speaking, Du Shiqi interrupted her, his voice still as gentle as before, "You came back when Aunt Li didn't see you, and then what?"

The expression on Caixuan's drooping face changed slightly, she endured it, and then continued in a low voice: "After leaving Mrs. Li's yard, I was supposed to come to the garden to find a girl, but when I was halfway, I suddenly remembered that girl I have always liked red plums the most, and there is an old plum tree under the wall behind Mrs. Li's yard. I wanted to go there and see if the flowers were blooming. Turned a corner at the bridge, turned from the narrow road to that place to see plum blossoms."
