Chapter 263 Seeking Death
"Of course she's fine. When we were having fun at Quan Ya Pavilion, she also became soft like this, unable to breathe! Hahaha!"
Tang Tian's laughter was dry and hoarse, and his thin body swayed wildly in his slightly loose clothes. He looked like a bamboo pole that could be broken by the wind at any time.
"Shut up! I'll kill you if you say that again!"
After Luo Xiaoran said this with red eyes, she quickly ran towards Qiu Niang.
She knew that the person Qiu Niang least wanted to see at this moment might not be Tang Tian, but Yun Hu.
Taking Qiu Niang from Yun Hu, Luo Xiaoran comforted her in a deep voice:
"Qiu Niang, take a deep breath, follow me, inhale-inhale-inhale--"
Qiu Niang grabbed Luo Xiaoran's hand tightly and opened her mouth to say something, but not a word came out, like a dying fish.
Her dirty past, her midnight nightmares, and her worst side were all revealed without any warning.
In front of Master Yun, in front of Master Yun whom she knew was out of reach but was still excited for in her heart, it was spread out in blood.
I had been trampled into the mud a long time ago, and it was only thanks to God's mercy that I met my close friend Luo Xiaoran, and was able to survive until now.
She knew that Master Yun was of noble status, so she had never coveted him.
But when that past was spoken of in front of Master Yun, Qiu Niang felt as if her whole body was frozen by tremendous shame and panic.
She was about to break.
The white sunlight fell into Qiu Niang's dilated pupils, but she could only feel a huge darkness, as if an invisible force was carrying her into the boundless underground.
“Huff—huff—huff—Qiu Niang!”
Luo Xiaoran's voice seemed to come from thousands of miles away, with the first meeting in the ruined temple, the escape in the post station, and the shelter from the rain in the cave...
Qiu Niang's oval face turned red due to shortness of breath. She suddenly let out a breath of foul air and then fainted.
Luo Xiaoran supported Qiu Niang's waist with her left hand, bent down, put her right hand around Qiu Niang's legs, and effortlessly picked her up in a princess hug.
Burying Qiu Niang's face in front of her and turning her back to prevent Yun Hu from looking at her, Luo Xiaoran somewhat self-deceivingly thought that this would help relieve some of Qiu Niang's pain.
Luo Xiaoran turned her head away, no longer looking at either Yun Hu or Tang Tian. After thinking for a while, she asked Yun Hu:
"Can you handle Tang Tian? At least... get him to leave Hexi Village."
Yun Hu did not answer, but the veins on his clenched fists bulged.
"I'll go get a doctor for Miss Qiuniang."
"No, this is our own business and has nothing to do with you."
"But……"
Before Yun Hu finished her words, Luo Xiaoran gently interrupted her, speaking as if to a stranger:
"If you get Tang Tian away, you'll be doing us a big favor."
Yun Hu's breathing paused for a moment.
Luo Xiaoran carried Qiu Niang into the Luo residence.
Through Luo Xiaoran's shoulder, he saw Qiu Niang with a bun that he couldn't name but thought was very beautiful. There were no hairpins or rings on it, and it was only fixed with a blue hairband, which looked so plain.
Yun Hu recalled the first time he met Qiu Niang. The gorgeous makeup on Qiu Niang's face dazzled his eyes. Was it because of what he heard today?
"She's just a prostitute. You're so nervous about her. You're just a blind bastard!"
Tang Tian was initially so frightened by Luo Xiaoran's glare that his heart stopped. But now that Luo Xiaoran had left, he mustered up the courage to become arrogant again and yelled at Yun Hu, trying to get back at him.
It was not until Qiu Niang's figure disappeared from his sight that Yun Hu suddenly woke up from a dream and looked at the person he wished to kill.
However, Yun Hu couldn't let Tang Tian die in the northern border.
Tang Tian was the most beloved child of the mistress of the Tang family. Even though he had committed a capital crime like having an affair with a palace concubine, he was only charged with breaking a glass bottle and was exiled to a mine. Now he could go back with the opportunity of a general amnesty. There were so many people who were saving his life.
Once Tang Tian dies in the northern border, the Tang family and the Lin family will definitely take advantage of this to cause trouble, and the aftermath will probably delay the establishment of the mutual trade.
No, it’s not just about death in the North. Yun Hu secretly sighed that he was too conservative in his thinking.
Because Tang Tian was returning from the Northern Territory. If he died on the way home, even if he died just before entering the Tang family's gate, the mistress of the Tang family would definitely bear a grudge against the Northern Territory, given her protective and confused character.
In addition, the Lin family, to which the Tang family depended, had long been eyeing the Northern Border Army. Once Tang Tian died, it would be strange if the entire court did not take the opportunity to cause trouble!
The coldness in Yun Hu's eyes was no less than that in Luo Xiaoran's. He looked at Tang Tian quietly in thought for a while, and then smiled after a long time.
If I can’t kill, can I still beat him?
Soon after, a piece of news spread throughout Kyoto.
Tang Tianyu, the second son of the Tang family, returned to Beijing after being pardoned, but was robbed by a group of masked men near a "porridge field" not far from Beijing, and his tendons were cut. It was really a revenge for the people who had suffered from their bullying!
……
Since that day, Qiu Niang never spoke a word or left her room again. No one could open her door except Luo Xiaoran.
Rumors have been flying all over Hexi Village. Luo Xiaoran is concerned about Qiu Niang and is too lazy to care. Her top priority now is to keep an eye on Qiu Niang. She is really afraid that Qiu Niang will do something stupid.
Although it was broad daylight, Qiu Niang's room seemed dark and gloomy because the doors and windows were closed, like a bottomless, cold nest.
Luo Xiaoran lit a candle and sat in front of Qiu Niang's bed. It was unclear whether she was talking to herself or to Qiu Niang:
"This window paper is still not very transparent. Do we need to find a way to refine glass? But I don't want to do that myself. I can tell Yun Hu about this method and ask him to find someone to do it."
Hearing Yunhu's name, Qiu Niang's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, then slowly opened, revealing a pair of lifeless pupils.
"Before Yun Hu left, he asked me to take good care of you. What a joke! You're my sister, and I still need him to ask me to take care of you?"
Qiu Niang's breath was getting heavier. Luo Xiaoran smiled helplessly. It turned out that she still cared about her!
"Yun Hu said he had something else to do and would come to see you as soon as he was done. He also told you to relax because Tang Tian couldn't die for some reason, but he would find a way to teach Tang Tian a lesson!"
"Xiaoran!"
Qiu Niang's extremely hoarse voice suddenly sounded. Luo Xiaoran's chattering mouth paused, and a subtle arc appeared on her face, but she felt relieved in her heart.
Just be willing to speak!
Being willing to speak means that you still have the desire to communicate with the outside world, which means you still have the will to survive, which is a good thing!
"Xiao Ran, I can't sleep, please help me!"
"it is good!"
Luo Xiaoran tucked the corner of the quilt for Qiu Niang and said, "I'll make you a bowl of soothing soup. I guarantee that after you drink it, you will be able to..."
"Help me sleep forever!"
Luo Xiaoran froze with a gentle smile before she could finish her words.
