Wen only smiled and didn't say much." 。After dressing neatly, she went out with her pendant, but left the old nanny behind. 。Though she's perfectly capable of taking care of herself when she's out,...Ye Wen looked out the window. The snow was still falling, and it seemed like it would never stop snowing. 。"I'll have to shake my head," said. "Unless you decide to spend the night in the temple, you should return to Beijing at once. The city gates of Lin’an won't stay open just for our family." 。Xiao nodded, didn't say anything more, and sent someone to arrange a carriage. 。However, even the servants' movements were slow. It took them a long time to return and then we had to wait even longer. The horses were being fed 。Ye Wenyan slightly frowned, she could clearly feel Xiao Shi dragging her time. 。It took more than two hours to arrive, and the return trip was just as long. 。Even if we leave immediately, it would be difficult to guarantee that we could reach the capital before the gates of Lin'an City close. 。Why was Xiao still dawdling Finally, someone came to report that the horse fodder was finished. Everyone got up and prepared to leave the house and board the carriage. At this time, Xiao grabbed Ye Feiyu's hand and said to him, "Feiyu, the paper money hasn't been completely burned yet, there is still one lamp left, it needs to be dark before we can light it, so someone must stay here to watch over these things..." 。According to your uncle, he should have stayed. But if he had stayed, there would only be us women left on this road, so your uncle has to look after us along the way. 。Then I'll have to leave it in your hands. You stay here a while longer. It's too late now, so why not stay at the temple for the night Don't rush back in the dark. 。We'll head back first. Yan'er isn't feeling well, so we should hurry on our way. 。" Nightflying Jade upon hearing this immediately frowned. It wasn't that he was unwilling to stay and do these things, if this had been in the past, he wouldn't even think twice about agreeing. 。But things are different now. They've been persecuted repeatedly, so he feels like there's something hidden behind every word from Second House and Old Madam's side, and he doesn't dare to believe them easily anymore. 。Moreover, he was also worried about Ye Wenyan. That girl had been feeling unwell since morning, and now her complexion looked even worse. If he stayed in the temple, who would take care of Ye Wenyan Who would ride with her in the same carriage Night Feiyu brought up this question, and Xiao immediately said: "I will be taking charge of the fourth young lady, and I will certainly take good care of her. Or if you are still uneasy, you can have her ride with Qingmei and Lianmian in the same carriage." 。"

Ye Lianmian heard this and immediately refused: “I don’t want to ride in the same carriage with her! Look at her, she looks like a walking corpse, it's bad luck.”

" Ye Qingmei immediately retorted, " Lianlian, how can you speak to her like that She is your own sister! " 。“What about your younger sister I am also your sister, but you, your elder brother, and even mother, each of you, dare to treat me the same as Night Wenyan You yourselves can't even keep things fair, what qualifications do you have to educate me” Night Qingmei was speechless. After all, this was the truth, and she really couldn't deny it. 。Xiao saw that things were about to get violent, so she quickly said: “Everyone stop! Fourth Miss will ride with me. Fei Yu, you just stay here for the night and set off back to Beijing tomorrow morning.” 。“ That settled things, Ye Feiyu sent them off and specially told Ye Wenyan to take good care of himself. Only then did he reluctantly watch the Ye family's motorcade head back to Beijing. 。He asked the attendant beside him, "Sanqi, did your second mistress really keep me here just because there's unfinished paper and unlit oil lamps There were no such rules on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in previous years." 。“Maybe it’s because there was a major funeral in our manor this year! There hasn't been such a grand funeral in previous years, so things are different this year.” 。"What was the young master worried about" He shook his head and didn't say any more, he also didn't know what to worry about, he just felt that Xiao Shi suddenly did this, it seemed not just because of burning paper and offering lamps 。If not for this, then what else could it be The carriage ran faster on the way back, though the road conditions were worse than coming. But because time was pressing, any further delay would mean missing the closing of the city gates. 。Although an explanation could get you into the city, it would still be a hassle. 。Ye Wen and Zhu'er were sitting in the Xiao family's carriage, walking and walking until they reached the end. 。At night, Ye Sheng was very unhappy and loudly asked the coachman: "How do you drive a carriage Why is it so slow Look at how far ahead of you the cars are!"

The coachman felt wronged: "Master, there are many people in our carriage, it's really hard to speed up! Isn't there an empty carriage ahead Can we please transfer two people over there It's getting late, we can't afford to delay."

" Night Scene Sheng glared at Ye Wenyan, and ordered the coachman: "Stop!" The coachman reined in the horse and stopped by the roadside, while also shouting loudly to the front carriage team: "All stop!" Night Scene Sheng coughed once, and said to Ye Wenyan: “As you can see, it's not that I don't want to take you. It's just that the horse can't run anymore. If we drag on like this, Lin'an City will have to close its gates. You can't possibly expect all of us to live outside the city, can you” Ye Wenyan felt uncomfortable all over. Although he wasn't feverish, he did feel that kind of feverish sensation. " 。After hearing the eloquent words about the night scene, she opened her mouth and asked, "Second Uncle, what do you mean Just say it straight." 。"

As soon as she spoke, Zhu'er jumped in fright: "Sister, what's wrong with your voice Why is it so hoarse"

Xiao Shi also looked at her in surprise, but there was a faint hint of delight in her astonishment, as if the more ill Ye Wenyan became, the happier she felt

She also asked with concern, "What's wrong with Fourth Miss"

Ye Xing grabbed the opportunity to say, "Why pretend Our family counts her as the most energetic and lively one. Even if she really got sick, her abilities would surpass ours. So there's no need to worry about her; just worry about ourselves."

" Night Wen smiled softly, "Uncle Second is worried about what Can I eat people" "You can't eat people, but you will drag us from entering the city" 。So go back to your carriage, then. You'll make better time that way and not waste the guard's time with idle chatter. 。If those soldiers are in a bad mood today, we might have to live in the carriage. 。“Why does Sister have to change cars She got along well with the Young Master at the temple, and Second Madam would take care of us four sisters.” 。"Now our fourth sister is still sick, let her have her own carriage, what if something happens" "How can she have her own carriage Don't you exist" Ye Wan stared at Zhuier, "You are her maid, how can you not serve your mistress Enough, enough nonsense, hurry up and go back to your own carriage." 。" Nightview Sheng directly pushed people, Ye Wenyan was pushed by him and almost fell out of the train carriage. " 。The night scene is also a bit strange. These four girls have always been fierce and domineering, why are they so weak today Are they really seriously ill Well, looking at them like this, it seems pretty serious. If they could just stay bedridden, that would be great, or better yet, die directly from the illness. Then he would definitely set off two strings of firecrackers to celebrate greatly. 。This damned witch almost crippled his hand, this grudge I will never forgive! Ye Xing was thinking this, while urging him impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up! You're as slow as a dead person." 。" Ye Wenyan rarely didn't bicker with him, he just tugged on Zhuai'er and ordered: "Help me change back to my original carriage." 。"

Zhui'er was unwilling, "Sister, the kind second mistress takes care of you, they can't break their promise…" 。Xiao was sitting in the car, not saying a word. It was as if she hadn't heard what Zhu Er had said, and as if she hadn't been the one speaking with Ye Feiyu at the temple earlier. 。Ye Wen looked at this scene and started to sneer in her heart. She thought to herself, as expected, leaving Ye Feiyu in the temple was Xiao's intention, and sending her back to her carriage was also intentional. Who knows what kind of tricks she will play next 。It's a pity she doesn't have the energy now, and she doesn't want to argue with them. After all, this trip out happened to coincide with the Lantern Festival. Her body is feeling so bad that even if she wanted to stay in the carriage, she couldn't. 。She got out of the carriage with her baby and got back in the same carriage. 。The convoy resumed its journey, and it was noticeably faster than before. 。She told Zhuier to keep her spirits up and watch out for any movement outside, then she leaned against the compartment wall, not wanting to say a word. 。On the 15th of every month, one's spiritual energy diminishes. It is lightest in the morning and becomes increasingly unbearable as time passes until evening. 。Now that it was noon, she felt much weaker than in the morning. Not only was her throat hoarse, but her limbs ached as well. 。Zhu'er looked at her like this and was very worried, but there was nothing she could do for the moment. She could only take off her own cloak and cover her with it, then silently pray that they could return to the capital soon, even if it was just entering Lin'an's outer city first, so that she could see a doctor... 。Thus, after another half hour had passed, Ye Wen had already fallen asleep. Zhuai'er felt that the carriage was running much faster than before and was very happy inside. 。The faster the horse runs, the sooner they'll be back to town. Sister really needs to see a doctor now. 。Then, gradually, she felt something was wrong. It was too strange. She had just heard the horse pulling the carriage let out a painful whinny, and the carriage itself shook violently. 。She really wanted to lift the curtain and ask the driver what was wrong. Seeing Ye Wenyan's pale face, his whole body trembling with cold, she was afraid that if she lifted the curtain, the wind and snow would be too harsh on him, so she could only ask through the curtain: "What happened Why is it so bumpy" Sadly, no one answered her. 。She thought it was her own voice, so she called out again, but no one answered her. 。This startled Ye Wen to wake up. She opened her eyes sleepily at first, only a slit, but very quickly, a pair of eyes sprang open completely, and she became much more alert. 。"Don't ask, there's no one outside. " 。"The little maid, Zhu'er, was startled by the sudden voice. Turning around, she saw her elder sister had woken up. She quickly apologized: "It was my fault for waking you up.” 。Sis, I'll sleep for a while longer. I won't make any noise. 。“It's done, but I feel something isn't right. Now I remember what Ye Wen said just now.” 。"Is there no one outside How could there be no one outside"

Night Wenyan shook his head helplessly, "What are you sleeping for If you sleep any longer, you'll be dead."

She leaned forward, shivered violently, but still gritted her teeth and lifted the heavy cotton curtain. 。When Zhu'er went outside to look, she was dumbfounded. 。The coachman is gone! The carriage they were in was running on its own. 。 Not only was the horse running, it was galloping frantically. A knife was clearly visible stuck into its rear end, leaving a bloody trail... butterfly. She sat on the butterfly and flew slowly to Ye Feizhou's side. 。"Second brother, it's truly not that I'm alienated from you, it's me myself..." 。I can do that too, it's just like martial...
