Fang Jinshi said: "At that time, in order for Wan Qixi to release you from prison, I asked the Madam of Huarong Pavilion to write a deregistration document for you and asked her to sell you to me I led you in , it¡¯s also reasonable.¡±
The little woman stood silent and did not answer his words. Fang Jinshi had no choice but to say: "Then should I call you Zhu Yanyan, or Xue Ling?"
The little woman said: "Who is Zhu Yanyan? I don't know him."
By saying this, she asked Fang Jinshi to call him Xue Ling. Fang Jinshi said, "I think Zhu Yanyan sounds better."
Xue Ling said coldly: "Let me say it again, I don't know Zhu Yanyan and Wang Yanyan at all, and I have never heard of them. My surname is Xue, and I am Xue Zheng's sister."
She said that on purpose. Fang Jinshi felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. He looked at Xue Ling and said, "Is this your brother you are holding?"
Xue Ling said solemnly: "Yes, they are bones that were burned into black charcoal."
Although Fang Jinshi had already guessed it, he felt even more uncomfortable when he heard it. He awkwardly turned his head away from looking at her. Xue Ling raised her head and stared at him and said, "Are you still going to take me into this house? "
Fang Jinshi said: "As long as you are willing, I can take you in, but the yard is small and there are few houses. For the time being, I will find another place for you."
Xue Ling still looked at him casually and said, "Whatever you want."
Her attitude made Fang Jinshi a little confused. Even her sudden appearance was enough to surprise Fang Jinshi. It was confirmed that Xue Ling came to him and did such an act near his house. of.
Fang Jinshi will be worried if he makes a mistake. Xue Ling is stubborn and extreme in her behavior. Like Xue Zheng, she is a bit neurotic and cannot be speculated by ordinary people's thoughts. No one knows what she will do. Fang Jinshi is worried about letting her go forward. He went to live with everyone at home. After thinking about it, he took Xue Ling to Sihai Tea House.
For Xue Ling, the two had not known each other for a long time, and they did not have the same emotional foundation as Jin Mianliang Cuirong. For Fang Jinshi, she came to her door on her own initiative. The hot spring water under the Tiger Hill Tower was slippery, and Fang Jinshi wiped out all her After taking a bath together, Zhu Yanyan lied to him about everything that day, and everything was fake. Fang Jinshi only believed it after trying it. Everything she said was a lie, except for this sentence that she was still in love with at that time. But it is absolutely true.
So he felt that Xue Zheng deserved to die ten thousand times. Even if Xue Ling's purpose was to lure him into the trap, he felt a little ashamed of Xue Ling.
Fang Jinshi led Xue Ling to Sihai Tea House. At this time, the business of the tea house was slow, and all the people who could be mobilized went to Sihai Bank and the tea house to work. There were not many clerks here. Fang Jinshi had a place of his own in the backyard of the tea house. Residence, he can sleep here for a short while at noon on weekdays.
He was a little worried about finding Xue Ling somewhere to live outside. This place was suitable for her at the moment. Fang Jinshi opened the door and invited her in, saying, "You can live here first."
Xue Ling carefully placed the roll of white cloth in her hand by the wall, then sat silently at the table, looking forward, neither looking at Fang Jinshi nor looking away, sitting there numbly like a clay sculpture.
Fang Jinshi also sat in silence for a while, then stood up and said, "Have you eaten yet? I'll have someone buy some food."
Xue Ling still didn't move, so Fang Jinshi had to ask himself: "What do you like to eat? How about tea? How about the Eight Treasures Lotus Seed Soup? You said you liked this last time."
He deliberately talked too much, hoping to let Xue Ling speak more and ease the awkward atmosphere. Xue Ling really became mute and didn't say a word. Fang Jinshi laughed at himself: "If you don't want to talk, forget it. Just pretend that I don't." ask you."
He walked to the front and sent a waiter to buy refreshments on the street. The snacks in Jiangnan, Pingjiang Prefecture were still very rich. After a while, he came back with a food basket. Fang Jinshi took it and returned with the basket. In the residence at the back, when he entered the door, he saw Xue Ling holding a scented handkerchief and gently waving it to fan herself to cool down. As soon as he saw him entering, she immediately put it away and stopped to sit still.
Fang Jinshi put the food basket on the table, placed all the refreshments on the table, and said to Xue Ling, "You are wearing too many clothes on this hot day."
Xue Ling was wearing a white shirt. Although strictly speaking it was not a filial piety garment, it always had some meaning. When she heard Fang Jinshi say this, she raised her eyes and looked at him. Fang Jinshi immediately said: "When I don't we have a deal."
Xue Ling sat there for a moment and then reached out to untie the belt of her plain clothes. Fang Jinshi said hurriedly: "You you can go to the back room to take shelter."
Xue Ling paused for a moment, but did not listen to his words, so she took off her white shirt in front of him.? Although she was still wearing an ordinary set of light blue clothes, taking off her clothes in front of him always had a different meaning.
Fang Jinshi watched her neatly folding the plain clothes aside. Although she was not as dazzling as Liang Cuirong's golden cotton, she was still above average, especially when she took off the white clothes that put pressure on Fang Jinshi. Fang Jinshi immediately felt She looks better again.
Fang Jinshi looked at her sitting opposite him, stood up and served her a bowl of eight-treasure lotus seed soup, placed his hands gently in front of her and said, "That's right, this outfit looks much better and is cooler. First eat a bowl of lotus seed soup to get rid of the anger."
Xue Ling took the spoon and slowly ate more than half a bowl of eight-treasure lotus seed soup. Fang Jinshi watched her chew carefully and sometimes wipe the corners of her mouth with a fragrant handkerchief, and then said again: "You used to talk so much, now you can't even talk." Don¡¯t you want to say a word to me?¡±
After hearing what he said, Xue Ling put down the spoon, looked into the bamboo basket and said, "What's in that?"
There was also a porcelain jar in the bamboo basket. Fang Jinshi did not put it on the table together. Seeing that she actually opened her mouth, Fang Jinshi said happily: "This is five-flavored bitter seed soup. Do you want to drink it?"
This soup is also for relieving heat. It tastes a little bitter. Xue Ling stood up, lifted the lid of the porcelain jar and took a look. He actually took a small bowl and placed it in front of Fang Jinshi. Then he picked up the porcelain jar and poured it into the small bowl.
Fang Jinshi felt happy when he saw that she was actually serving him some soup. He was afraid that she would fill it up too much, so he immediately said, "I only need a little bit. You drink more."
Xue Ling poured him half a bowl and put it back into the porcelain jar. Fang Jinshi went to the basket to find another spoon, put it in the bowl and said, "This store makes the best five-flavor soup. I often order it for you." "
He stirred the soup with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful and lowered his head to put it into his mouth. Xue Ling said, "Wait a minute."
Fang Jinshi stopped the spoon in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xue Ling took out a small yellow paper bag from her waist and opened it. Inside was a little bit of off-white powder. She poured the powder into the five-flavor bitter seed soup that Fang Jinshi wanted to eat, and stirred it with a spoon. Stirring, he said: "You can eat it."
Fang Jinshi said: "What did you put in it?"
Xue Ling said: "It's a letter stone."
Fang Jinshi asked: "What is the letter stone?"
Xue Ling said: "It also has a name, called arsenic."
When Fang Jinshi heard these two words, he was so frightened that he pushed the table leg with his hand and stepped back a few steps: "Arsenic? Are you giving me arsenic?"
Xue Ling said calmly: "It's arsenic. What's wrong? You killed my brother and let him die so miserably. Shouldn't I poison you to avenge him?" She said this and raised her head. Looking at Fang Jinshi, his eyes were a little red.
Fang Jinshi looked at her expression and his heart trembled. Even if Xue Zheng died, Fang Jinshi never thought that he had done anything wrong. But seeing Xue Ling's expression at this time, he still blamed himself because he really couldn't see the woman crying. .
Fang Jinshi paused for a moment and said, "He is the one who wants me to die. He is the one to blame. What else can I do?"
Xue Ling said: "He competes with you for women, but he can't compete with you. He brought it upon himself. Does he deserve to be burned to death by you?"
Fang Jinshi knew that she was being arrogant and unreasonable, and it was difficult to reason with her. He fell down on his seat and sighed: "Then what can I do? Put yourself in my shoes and think about it, what would anyone else do?" , let him trap me? He killed Yun Nuer, such a good woman" He patted his chest and said: "She is my concubine. I avenge my woman, don't I? Should it?"
Xue Ling was silent for a long time, because what Fang Jinshi said was really reasonable, and she had no way to refute it. After a long while, Xue Ling said: "Okay, you are right, he is guilty of serious sins and deserves to die, you avenge my concubine, What you did was right." She paused and then said: "He is my brother. He has grown up with me since he was a child. He is my only relative. I want to kill you to avenge him, and I have done nothing wrong. "
Fang Jinshi sat and looked at her for a long time, and gave up the idea of ??persuading her. This woman, like Xue Zheng, had the stubborn persistence in her bones that was difficult to pull back.
However, Fang Jinshi was a little sure of one thing. Xue Ling said so harshly, but she might not really want him to die. Has anyone seen the face of a victim who was poisoned with arsenic? She just wanted to tell Fang Jinshi that she Came to kill him.
It¡¯s just that people¡¯s hearts are complicated, and Fang Jinshi is not sure what she thinks, especially for such a woman. Xue Ling is sitting on the corner stool, facing the wall with her back to him, and seems to no longer care about him.
The two of them were silent for a long time. Fang Jinshi looked outside.Then, as it was getting late, he stood up and said: "It's getting dark, I'm going back, you you have a good sleep here and think about it."
He took the bowl of poisonous five-flavored bitter seed soup on the table and threw it on the ground. He took the small bowl and went outside to dispose of it. He walked out of the room and said, "I'm leaving."
Xue Ling hesitated for a moment, then stepped on the stool and table, jumped out from the window and intercepted him, saying, "Where are you going?"
