It was quiet inside the courtyard, and a little deserted outside. The maid and mother-in-law were basically invisible.
Because Uncle Jiuhuang didn't like it, the flower garden outside the house had long been cleared by servants. There were only a few small trees half a man's height as decorations. It looked very depressed, with a vague air of decay.
Those small trees must have been transplanted recently. The leaves are wilted, exuding a gray and defeated air, and they look dead. It's really hard to like.
In such a courtyard, not to mention people who are in a bad mood, even those who are in a good mood will feel a little depressed when they walk in. Uncle Nine Emperors paused, then slowed down and walked in.
There were two maids standing guard outside Feng Qingchen's door. When they saw Uncle Nine Emperors approaching, they were about to salute, but they were interrupted by Uncle Nine Emperors, who signaled them to "get out" with his eyes.
You read that right, Uncle Jiu Kan wanted them to get out and not stay here to hinder his eyes.
The two girls burst into tears. They were provoking whomever, and how could Uncle Nine Emperors glare at them with cold knives? They did nothing, and they did not dress up like the servants before, and went to climb up to Uncle Nine Emperors.
bed.
Since there were no outsiders around, Uncle Nine Emperors didn't have so many worries. The cold frost on his face eased a little. He opened the door with gentle steps and walked around the screen to the inner room. He saw that Feng Qingchen was sleeping soundly.
.
For a moment, Uncle Nine Emperors couldn't laugh or cry. He was worried for nothing. Feng Qingchen was fine at all, but as soon as Uncle Nine Emperors walked in, he knew something was wrong.
Feng Qingchen's eyes were red and swollen, which was obviously a sign of crying.
"Are you so wronged?" Uncle Jiuhuang would be beside the bed, his fingertips gently sliding across Feng Qingchen's cheek, with a trace of doubt that he didn't understand.
"You are wronged, and I am also wronged." His fingers stopped on Feng Qingchen's slightly pale lips and rubbed them for a moment. Seeing that Feng Qingchen did not respond, the Nine Emperors Uncle sighed softly and pinched the quilt for Feng Qingchen.
Corner: "Sleep well."
Uncle Jiuhuang kissed Feng Qingchen's lips gently, turned around and walked out. When he heard the door closing, Feng Qingchen did not open his eyes, but stretched out his hand to touch his lips, and a teardrop fell from the corner of his eye.
.
Jiuhuangshu, he didn't understand the woman's heart at all. She admitted that Jiuhuangshu did a good job and was considerate of everything, but Jiuhuangshu didn't take care of her mood.
She could accept the scolding from the Nine Emperors Uncle, but she couldn't accept the cold treatment from the Nine Emperors Uncle. She didn't like the condescending attitude of the Nine Emperors Uncle, which made her feel as if she was a plaything that could come and go when called.
She came here full of joy, and she was satisfied as long as Uncle Nine Emperors looked at her, or held her, or even said "It's okay". After that, Uncle Nine Emperors tried to be cruel to her, and even wanted to punish her, but she admitted it.
But there was nothing, no care, no greetings, just a cold feeling in the room.
Feng Qingchen twisted his lips into a bitter smile, turned over, curled himself up into a shrimp shape, and then... thinking about it, he actually fell asleep.
Feng Qingchen slept until dark. After dinner, Feng Qingchen went to see Mr. Wenyuan and Zhanyan to reassure them. It was already late when he came back because he would continue on his way tomorrow. Feng Qingchen
Chen also wanted to go to bed early so as not to feel lack of energy the next day.
But he slept too much during the day, and Feng Qingchen couldn't sleep at all. He tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and when he was about to get up, he heard the sound of the door opening.
Feng Qingchen knew that only Uncle Nine Emperors would come over at this time, so she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but this time Uncle Nine Emperors did not let her go.
"I know you are not asleep, open your eyes." This was the order. After Feng Qingchen woke up, he did not take the initiative to see him, and Uncle Nine Emperors was unhappy.
Feng Qingchen could think of Mr. Wen Yuan's worries, but he couldn't think that he would be worried too. He would be more worried than Mr. Wen Yuan.
Unable to pretend, even though Feng Qingchen didn't know how to face Uncle Nine Emperors, he had no choice but to open his eyes and call out honestly: "Uncle Nine Emperors."
Too much respect, not enough intimacy. Uncle Nine Emperors frowned unconsciously: "What's wrong with you?" He found that it was really difficult to guess the woman's thoughts.
"Me? It's okay. Aren't I fine?" Feng Qingchen sat up, leaned on the bed, and showed a faint smile to Uncle Nine Emperors: "Uncle Nine Emperors, it's getting late, do you have to arrange the arrangements?
?”
"Don't worry, I have something to tell you." If you don't explain it clearly today, there will be no time and opportunity on the road.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, please tell me..."
Feng Qingchen's attitude was very good, so good that Uncle Nine Emperors couldn't fault him, but it was precisely because of this that Uncle Nine Emperors became more and more unhappy.
What does Feng Qingchen mean? Show him your face?
"Are you blaming me for not protecting you?" Uncle Nine Emperor's voice was unconsciously cold.
Feng Qingchen glanced at Uncle Nine Emperors and shook his head decisively: "No. This matter is due to my own fault. It happened because I was trying to be a hero."
"Hmph... You know it's okay to be a hero. What? Do you think you are very capable and can single-handedly break into the opponent's camp and escape safely?" When Uncle Nine Emperors thought about this, he was so angry that he wanted to kill Si
The eighteenth horse of the family was slaughtered.
He asked the Si family's eighteen knights to protect Feng Qingchen, not Mr. Wenyuan.
"I have never thought so, I know what I am capable of." Feng Qingchen looked calm, with her long hair hanging behind her back, looking vaguely weak.
But Uncle Nine Emperors had no intention of appreciating it. He became very angry when he mentioned this matter: "Since you know how much you have, you shouldn't put yourself in danger. Feng Qingchen, please remember, you are not alone.
You have me and the Feng family behind you. Do you know how many people will be sad if something happens to you?"
"I know. So no matter what I face, I will try my best to survive, but... some things are more important than life. The situation at that time did not allow me to think too much." She knew why Uncle Nine Emperors was angry, but... she
It's Feng Qingchen, she has her own persistence and principles.
"More important than life?" Uncle Nine Emperors sneered: "In your eyes, protecting Mr. Wenyuan is more important than life? His life is life, your life, and the life of the secret guard are not life?"
He admitted that Feng Qingchen did a good job in this matter, and he would have done the same thing in other circumstances, but he could take risks, but Feng Qingchen could not. If Feng Qingchen had a problem, he would go crazy.
"No." Feng Qingchen shook his head, ignoring the anger in Uncle Jiuhuang's eyes, and explained clearly and slowly: "I respect everyone's life, and I cherish my own life even more. I am a selfish woman. In times of crisis, I
I would rather sacrifice others to survive. But some things are more important than life, such as principles and persistence. I promised you that I must protect Mr. Wenyuan. This is my responsibility. I can survive in order to
Sacrificing others, but not abandoning one's own responsibilities in order to survive. In the situation at that time, if I escaped, Mr. Wenyuan would not be able to leave, and I could not escape."
Her temperament seems to be very peaceful, but she has a stubborn side in her bones. Even if what she insists on is wrong, she still has to stick to it.
"So, in order to fulfill your promise and take on the responsibility of protecting them, you can even risk your own life?" Uncle Nine Emperor's anger dissipated instantly, and Feng Qingchen's words deeply shocked his heart.
Feng Qingchen was not wrong, it was him who was wrong. He knew that Feng Qingchen had the decisiveness and perseverance of a soldier in her actions, but he did not expect that she had also learned the soldier's principle of working hard to complete a mission.
How did General Feng teach his daughter? Did he want to raise his daughter as a soldier? No, it should be about what kind of environment Feng Qingchen lived in to develop such a temperament.
A woman is more responsible than a man, which makes people both love and hate her.
