Chapter 45

When will the sunset return?

Author: Feng Si Niang

When will the sunset return?

After sending the noisy Xue Feibai away, Du Heng came to the Duke of Qin's mansion where she had been during the day. The two faces of Xiao Zimei couldn't get out of her heart.

But now, all it takes is a quick look to find out: Is she a deep-minded person, or has too many things happened that caused her temperament to change drastically?

Du Heng used Qinggong and stepped on the fallen sycamore leaves, just like a cat landing without making any sound.

The courtyard of Qin Jinnan and her mother seemed to have been cleaned by no one for a long time, but within a few days it was covered with fallen leaves, the windows became dark, and there seemed to be countless spider webs in the shade. The most vibrant thing was the weeds all over the floor.

Grass.

There are also several big holes in the doors and windows, and the cold wind blows in. I wonder how the lonely little girl can live alone in winter?

Du Heng followed the gap in the door that was blown open by the cold wind and ducked in. On the tea table opposite there was only a set of white porcelain tea sets for servants, with the spout missing and the tea bowl cracked.

The imperial concubine's couch was very clean, with a sewing basket leaning to the side. Half of the most fashionable albizia pattern this year was embroidered on a piece of material. The stitches were fine and fine, and it should be used to make clothes.

Du Heng could remember that when Qin Jinnan's mother was taken away, she must have been sitting here quietly embroidering flowers, imagining how beautiful her daughter would look when she put on this dress.

There was a faint candlelight flickering in the blue gauze cupboard. Qin Jinnan was lying on the bed, but she had no idea that she had an uninvited guest.

Du Heng looked at the inner room where all valuables had been plundered, and it was hard not to notice the few books on the shelf that caught her attention.

Among them are "Nv Zhi" and "Nv Ring" with new covers, as well as several almost torn music scores. The only ones left are "Gu Chuang Gossip" and "Zi Buyu". What are they?

Tell stories about people and ghosts.

Du Heng was very familiar with these books, especially "Guest Chat". There was no printed copy in Beijing, and it was not sold in bookstores. It was her brother Lin Junyun who knew that she liked to read and write miscellaneous things, so he specially came back from a long trip.

Brought back here.

There are two or three other copies of this book, one of which was given to Xiao Zimei.

Du Heng picked up another book "Zi Buyu", rummaged through it two or three times, and found a story about a "singing dog" in his memory.

In these two books, without exception, there are incidents of child abduction.

Du Heng stuffed the book back with trembling hands. The book was like a thousand-year-old cold jade or ten-thousand-year-old glacier that had its own cold air. It flowed along her arms, spreading the cold air into her chest.

At this time, Du Heng could not feel the beating of his heart or the flow of blood. He could only feel that there was a ball of ice in his cavity, and his limbs and bones were numb from the cold.

It turned out that it was Xiao Zimei who hinted that Qin Jinnan's mother made a vicious plan to abduct Qin Jinmiao... It turned out that she had such a vicious plan a few years ago...

But why did she do this?

She and Qin Jinshu were close friends, so why did she do this to her biological sister? The Duke of Qin had no grudges against her in the past, and they had no grudges recently. Why did she resort to such a vicious plan to plunge many women into endless pain?

?What about now? What is the purpose of her provocative words to Qin Jinnan?...

Du Heng's heart was in turmoil. The image of his well-behaved cousin in the past instantly collapsed, and was replaced by a ruthless, feignedly submissive woman with unknown goals.

She is like a poisonous snake in sheep's clothing that meanders forward unhurriedly and spits out messages. No one knows when she will tear off her disguise and go on a rampage to kill people; she even kills without needing to tear off her disguise.

"Who's there!" Qin Jinnan's trembling scolding sounded in a bluffing voice, and Du Heng put away his complicated thoughts and left in a hurry.

Du Heng lay in bed all night, unable to sleep. When he bid farewell to the couple at Lin Ling's invitation the next day, Du Heng had huge dark circles under his eyes that were hard to ignore.

Not far away, Sheng Ruchi was wearing a brown shirt. Besides a thin horse being held behind him, there was also a domestic servant.

The servant was carrying a baggage, standing with his head bowed, his face full of gloom, neither speaking nor moving, like an unlucky guy fished out of some unlucky situation, which really made people reluctant to take a second look.

On the other hand, Sheng Ruchi, leaning against the endless burning haze with his hands behind his back, smiling at them, seemed more open-minded and heroic.

Du Heng didn't know what his aunt Lin Ling was thinking, so he just called himself to say goodbye to her; and on Sheng Ruchi's side was Xue Feiqing, whom she hadn't seen for many days.

In Xue Feiqing's view, just as the setting sun bids farewell to the sky, he and Sheng Ruchi can only say "treasure". The difference is that the sun will still rise the next day, and he and Sheng Ruchi will be separated by one and two widths. It is very possible that

Never meet again in life.

"Brother Sheng, I warmed the wine for you and took it with you to drink on the way."

Sheng Ruchi smiled bitterly in his heart, "You know I never drink. That's all. How can a person not be sad in this life? He originally wanted to leave happily, but he didn't expect that he would still be infected with the sadness of separation.

"Thank you Fei Qing!" Sheng Ruchi clasped his fists.

"Brother Sheng, you and I both know that you have suffered an unreasonable disaster this time. If Jun Yun was still here, we would still have room to deal with it. Now, Jun Yun is dead and you have to travel far away. The three of us are the only ones left with me.

Alone..."

Lin Ling looked at the two people pulling at each other and sighed in her heart. She held Du Heng's hand:

"Miss Du, I didn't expect that we might never see each other again in this life just after we became friends... Yesterday, Jin Shu and Zimei were all here, but you were missing. I still want to say goodbye to you personally.

!”

Once the couple left, they were like wild grass, wandering without a support, wandering thousands of miles, and their official career was unclear.

With emotion in my heart, I saw my new friend with an expressionless expression on his face from the corner of his eye, and he suppressed the sadness of parting.

Lin Ling even had a slight suspicion in his heart. Is this brand-new friendship of his now at this point that he had to shave off his head and choose someone else?

Du Heng was speechless. As long as people are still alive, that is the greatest hope. I originally thought that today was a farewell, but why did it end up being like a farewell? Who picked this time? It happened to be "the sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken people are at the end of the world."

Du Heng said: "I don't understand. It is said that Shanda's idols are not Wang Yangming and Li Zhen? Shouldn't it be your honor to follow their life paths?"

Not only Sheng Ruchi’s idol is Wang Yangming, but their three close friends are all firm supporters of Xin Xue.

After hearing these words, Sheng Ruchi's expression could only be described as stunned. He was not shocked by Du Heng's rebelliousness, but felt that Du Heng understood his arrogance.

"Don't be too pessimistic. It is only beneficial and harmless to stay away from the big dye vat of the capital for the time being. As long as the emperor and the courtiers are here, you can follow Mr. Dongpo's example and eat lychees; wait until today..."

Before Du Heng could say the word "leg", Lin Ling hurried forward and covered her mouth with quick eyes and hands.

Sheng Ruchi nodded with concern, but felt that it was too late to meet this girl Du. The lady felt sorry that she was leaving the capital and going to a miserable place, but in fact she didn't care at all.
