Meiya didn't buy anything. She ran from the street to the country road, and then she stopped. She moved forward step by step. Every time she walked on this road in the past, she always wanted to go home. But today, she hated this road. She could never finish walking on it in her lifetime.
Pang Yi and Xiao Anshi were so familiar with each other. It didn't seem like they had just met. And from their conversation, Xiao Anshi should have been in Ningguta for a while. Did she come with Pang Yi at that time? Why did she come to Ningguta?
Thinking of this, Mei Ya couldn't help but curl her lips in self-mockery. Why else could she do that? Of course it was for Zhong Mingwei. Six years ago, she, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, was willing to be his concubine for Zhong Mingwei. This matter was a big deal at the time. Even she, a laundryman, had heard about it. It can be seen that Xiao Anshi is a person who values love. Today, Zhong Mingwei is in trouble. It is not impossible for her, a person who values love, to find Ningguta by any means.
But. Does Zhong Mingwei know?
He must have known about it, Pang Yi couldn't have hidden it from him, so he must have been the one who asked Xiao Anshi to stay.
So why did he want Xiao An to stay in Ningguta?
Why haven't you ever told me about this?
…
Mei Ya's face was extremely pale, her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she could no longer walk. Every part of her body was filled with a deep chill. She looked around, then moved to a birch tree on the side of the road, leaned against the trunk, and slowly squatted down.
Once upon a time, when she was still in the capital, still a rough palace maid, she didn't dare to laugh loudly when she was happy, and she never dared to cry loudly when she was sad. She didn't think there was anything wrong with this. As a servant, you are born to be cautious. You are destined to serve others. Who are you laughing and crying for? You are actually no different from the horses and dogs raised by your master. You are even worse than those beasts.
Later, she arrived in Ningguta. Apart from the initial cautiousness, she gradually learned to laugh. Not only could she laugh, she also dared to cry. No matter when she was wronged or sad, she dared to cry in front of Zhong Mingwei. Zhong Mingwei no longer treated her as a slave, and she gradually lost the consciousness of being a slave. Slowly, she began to live like a normal person. No, she might be more fond of crying and laughing than normal people. I don’t know if it was because she was always afraid to vent when she was a child. Now she really loves to laugh and cry. She really likes this kind of freedom.
But at this moment, Meiya discovered that she couldn't cry when she was really in pain and sadness. Just like now, her whole body was shaking, but her eyes were very dry and there was not a single tear.
…
“Clack, clack!”
The sound of horse hooves came from far away and gradually approached. When it reached Mei Ya's front, the rider suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse finally stopped with a neigh.
"What are you squatting here for?" Kong Wenmin looked down at Mei Ya who was squatting under the tree while riding on his horse. He had just seen a person squatting on the side of the road from a distance, and he did not think much about it. It was only when he got in front of her that he saw clearly that it was Mei Ya. According to his previous temper, he would definitely ignore her, but today Kong Wenmin pulled the reins.
"Guard Kong...Guard Kong," Meiya slowly raised her head and saw the person on the horse clearly, while stammering, "I, I'm not feeling well, I want to rest here for a while."
"If you're not feeling well, don't go out and run around," Kong Wenmin said coldly. After a pause, he extended his hand to Mei Ya, "Come up, I'll take you back."
"No... no, thanks!" Mei Ya waved her hands hurriedly. Firstly, she had always been afraid of Kong Wenmin and didn't dare to be alone with him. Secondly, she really didn't want to go back now. She didn't know how to face Zhong Mingwei. Should she pretend that she knew nothing or break up with Zhong Mingwei? She was really confused.
Kong Wenmin looked at her, then got off the horse, holding the whip in one hand and tapping it gently, while frowning, he walked in front of Meiya and asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Ah?" Mei Ya looked at Kong Wenmin who was getting closer and closer in fear. She looked up and said a little at a loss, "No, nothing. I'll just squat for a while. Guard Kong, go and do your thing. Don't worry about me..."
"Do you think I am willing to take care of you?" Kong Wenmin snorted coldly and pointed his whip at Meiya. "If I hadn't heard that you went to visit Wen Jie today, I wouldn't care about you."
