The slap came so quickly that it almost hit me in the face.

But fortunately, after not sleeping all night, I reacted faster. I reached out and grabbed the wrist, and stopped the slap forcefully.

Looking closely, the person standing in front of me was full of anger and wanted to bite off a piece of my flesh. It was Han Zitong.

It wasn't just Han Zitong, there was already a large, dark group of people outside the door, but the ones facing me at the front were the Han sisters.

Han Ruoshi's face was also very pale, and there was uneasiness and anxiety in her eyes. She didn't speak, and she didn't even care whether I was beaten or not. She just couldn't wait to look behind me as soon as she saw the door open;

Han Zitong still had the same fierce look on her face as usual, especially her eyes were bloodshot, and she stared at me fiercely, as if she wanted to eat me.

If she hadn't stopped that slap just now, I'm afraid I would have suffered a lot.

I grabbed her wrist and frowned: "Miss Zitong, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? You have the nerve to ask me!"

She gritted her teeth and said, "Tell me, what harm did you do to Yuan Xiu!"

I raised my eyebrows, looked at her red eyes and blue eye circles, and felt something in my heart. Last night, those attendants went back to ask for Yao Lao. Maybe they were too anxious and might not notify the sisters right away, but the paper was guaranteed.

They couldn't hold back their anger, this news would definitely reach their ears. However, they didn't expect them to arrive so quickly, and Han Zitong's reaction was so big.

Seeing her eyes that were red with anxiety, I calmed down.

After a long while, I slowly let go of her hand and said: "The princess had better find out more before she speaks. He came here on his own, and it was others who hurt him. Did I hurt him? What did I hurt him? He suffered it."

He is injured and is resting now. If you hit someone here, make a noise, wake him up, and the wound will open, if the condition worsens, then you don’t know what will happen."

As soon as these words came out, she felt her breath soften.

At this time, Han Ruoshi, who was standing next to her, immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "So, he won't die, is he okay?"

I smiled: "It's okay for now."

After saying that, I took a step aside and when they came in, Yao Lao and the others all stood up and came over one after another. Just as soon as the Han sisters entered the door, I stopped the attendants who were following them.

, said calmly: "There can't be too many people at home. If they make noise, it will be detrimental to the patient's recovery."

Han Zitong gritted his teeth, turned around and gestured to the people, and they stopped outside the door.

Han Ruoshi even said a few words to Yao Lao, and Han Zitong couldn't wait to walk through the crowd, but as soon as she opened the door, she froze at the door.

Although she was very aggressive just now, when she really saw Pei Yuanxiu, she stopped moving.

At this time, Han Ruoshi also walked in. She walked slowly to the bed, looked down at Pei Yuanxiu's pale face, and then at his chest wrapped in thick gauze. After being silent for a while, she said softly: "

Is he really okay?"

Yao Lao also stood at the door and said: "As long as you take good care of yourself, you will be able to move in ten days at most."

Han Ruoshi breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Han Zitong suddenly said: "Then, he will——"

Yao Lao's expression became a little complicated, and I turned to look at him. He was silent for a while and said, "It doesn't matter."

A happy smile immediately appeared on Han Ruoshi's face.

I glanced at her, then at Han Zitong next to me, who was still frightened and frowning even now, and suddenly said, "Why don't you go over and see him?"

She turned her head to look at me, glared at me fiercely, and said nothing.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu's eyelashes trembled twice, and then he opened his eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I heard him murmuring: "Qingying..."

Before I could step forward to agree, Han Ruoshi had already sat beside the bed, carefully leaned down and said softly: "Master, are you awake?"

"..."

Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak for a while, only keeping his eyes open, as if he was trying to get rid of the blur caused by his sleep. After a while, his eyes slowly became clear and he looked at Han Ruoshi: "Are you here?"

"Yeah. Those damn slaves actually hid it from me. Fortunately, I found out and came over right away."

As she spoke, her eyes were red, she looked at Pei Yuanxiu's chest, and choked with sobs: "Is the injury serious? Is it uncomfortable?"

Pei Yuanxiu did not answer this sentence, but turned around with some difficulty, and saw me, Han Zitong and Yao Lao gathered at the door. His eyes immediately fell on me, and it seemed that the corners of his eyes were bent, and Yao Lao

I had already walked over and asked him: "How do you feel now?"

"It's okay."

"Does the wound hurt a lot?"

"It's okay. I want to drink some water."

"You can't drink water for now, let me moisturize it for you."

After saying that, he went to pour a bowl of water, moistened it with chopsticks and put it on his lower lip. Pei Yuanxiu sipped it gently. After Yao Lao fed him a few times, he put away the bowl and chopsticks: "You can't eat it."

Too many."

Probably because of moistening it, Pei Yuanxiu's eyes became clearer. When he turned his head again, he looked at me and smiled at me.

I also managed to show a little smile.

He looked at me for a while, then turned to look at the Han sisters, and said weakly: "You all go out for a while. Ruoshi, Zitong, you two stay."

Han Zitong had been leaning against the door. At this time, he shook a little and then walked slowly over. I turned around and exited the room. I waited until Yao Lao came out and closed the door.

All the people in the yard had stood up, looking cautiously into the room. Li'er also climbed down from the stool, walked up to me, and looked at me at a loss: "Mother..."

I lowered my head and smiled at her: "It's okay, your Aunt Ruoshi and Aunt Zitong came to see your father."

Of course she knew, but she always seemed a little uneasy and just grabbed my sleeve and said nothing.

Susu came over and said, "Miss, do you still want to eat?"

I nodded.

"But the rice is a little cold."

"It doesn't matter. Isn't the chicken soup still hot?" I said, soaking half a bowl of rice in the steaming hot chicken soup, and eating it slowly with some hot and sour side dishes brought by Su Su. Although I ate

It started slowly but didn't stop. Su Su looked on with surprise, but she didn't say anything and just sat quietly beside her.

Yao Lao walked over slowly, sat opposite me and looked at me.

I took a small sip of the soup, and a warm feeling suddenly spread throughout my body, making me feel a little more comfortable. But when I looked up, I met Yao Lao’s somewhat confused look, who was thinking about me, and I smiled: "

What's wrong?"

He seemed to have a lot to ask and a lot he didn't understand, but when he saw me smiling like this, he suddenly seemed to understand everything and didn't ask any more questions.

After being silent for a while, he said softly: "What do you think of the Han sisters?"

When the attendants around heard this, they all stood up and retreated. Su Su acted like a normal person, but Li'er blinked and looked at us.

I smiled: "I'm not familiar with them."

Hearing what I said, Yao Lao stopped talking, but frowned slightly, as if he was deeply sad. I took a few mouthfuls of food, looked up at his sad face, thought for a while, and suddenly said:

"Old man, let me tell you a story, do you want to listen?"

He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that I would be in the mood to tell him the story at this time.

Before he could agree, I started talking to myself:

"In ancient times, there was a monarch who was about to grow old. He was going to abdicate the throne to a virtuous young man. In order to test the young man, he decided to marry his two daughters to the young man. But between the two daughters, who

It’s hard to decide who should be big or small.”

When Yao Lao heard this, his face darkened slightly.

I bit the tip of my chopsticks and continued: "This old monarch came up with a way to cook beans. Each person has seven straws and seven beans. Whoever cooks them first will be the biggest. In order to make the beans bigger, the eldest daughter will be furious.

It was almost burning, but the straw was burned out and the beans were only half cooked. The younger daughter burned it on a low fire, but half of the straw was left and the beans were already cooked.

But the eldest daughter was not convinced, and the two competed several times, all of which ended in the eldest daughter's defeat.

The last time they competed, whoever arrived at the groom's residence first would win and be the bigger one. One of them drove the cart and the other rode the horse. The younger sister drove the cart into a village. Unexpectedly, the wheel was broken and she had to stop to repair it.

, my sister was riding by on horseback, saw this scene, and asked what happened. My sister told her, and said that she might not be able to make it to the groom, so she asked her to go first.

I rushed over. When my sister saw this, she was very happy and felt that she had won, so she quickly rode away. When her sister's wheel was repaired and she was walking forward, she saw her sister parked on the side of the road.

, the horse her sister was riding also fell to the ground. She got off the car and asked, only to find out that the horse her sister was riding suddenly gave birth to a foal and could no longer move forward.

My sister was very frustrated. She felt that she was destined to lose.

At this time, the younger sister helped her elder sister get into the carriage and took her to the groom's place."

The more Yao Lao listened, the more he frowned.

When he heard the end, his eyebrows twisted into a knot. Seeing that my mouth was dry when I talked, he took a big sip of the soup and said solemnly: "What do you want to tell me when you talk about this?"<

/p>

I slightly raised the corners of my lips.

"Are you trying to say that of the two sisters in the story, the one who is eager for success is always self-defeating, while the smart one -"

Before he could finish, I smiled faintly: "No. I just want to tell you that the sisters in this story are named Ehuang and Nvying."

Yao Lao's expression suddenly changed.

He looked at me with wide eyes, countless anxieties flashing through his eyes. After a long silence, he said with some difficulty: "Qingying, are you, are you after--" He seemed to have some difficulty when he said this.

, paused, and then whispered: "Do you regret it?"

"..."

I didn't speak, but the smile on my face slowly faded.

After being silent for a long time, I gently lowered my head.

He looked at my lowered eyelashes, and after a while, he sighed softly and said: "I also know that what I told you last night is indeed true - you are willing to take expedient measures, old man

I can’t thank you enough.”
