The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 52
byChapter 52
“Your wings are strong, Chen Xian.” Xu Ziyu sighed, brushed his sleeves and stood up with a solemn expression.
Shen Xian actually used his power to suppress himself. This was the most disdainful thing for Shen Xian in the past. He actually did it for Lan Yuan. It was ridiculous, ridiculous. Xu Ziyu felt it was extremely ridiculous!
“For Lan Yuan, you don’t even give up your principles. What else can I say? It seems you don’t need me here anymore, so I’ll leave.”
After calmly speaking the above words, Xu Ziyu left the ward lonely, she still wanted to save the last trace of dignity with Shen Xian.
It’s half past five, and through the green glass, the evening sunlight falls on the corridor, sprinkling it with a layer of gold!
Xu Ziyu sat quietly in the corridor for half an hour, looking at the light and shadow on the ground to calm down——
For Shen Xian, she hadn’t even closed her eyes from last night until now. After saving people from danger, she also ended up being cooked by a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey.
The sunlight in the corridor gradually faded, and the stars changed. Xu Ziyu felt that even nature was not friendly enough to her!
The last trace of light and shadow on the ground faded, Xu Ziyu stood up and looked at the darkening sky in the distance, his eyes full of sadness!
After the darkest comes the light, and after the light comes the darkest. After all, Shen Xian will not choose to illuminate himself!
“You stay here and guard. If the Lan family comes to cause trouble again, you don’t need to ask me for permission and just take action.” Xu Ziyu told the officer who sent Shen Xian to the hospital.
“Everything puts Shen Xian’s safety first. I’m back to Yangzhou. Send me a telegram every other day to report the situation.”
Even though her heart was bleeding, Xu Ziyu still worried about Shen Xian’s safety.
However, Xu Ziyu really cannot stay in Yangzhou for long and must go back today——
Because, even if she and Du Yunhe had no relationship, she would have to accompany Du Yunhe at the Du family’s dinner tomorrow, a loving couple who pretended to have a harmonious family.
In the ward——
“Why are you staring at me?” Lan Yuan found that Shen Xian had been staring at her.
“I thought I almost wouldn’t see you, so now I’m racing against time to see you.” Shen Xian smiled and said to Lan Yuan, holding Lan Yuan’s hand tightly.
Lan Yuan thought of Shen Xian’s body covered in blood again, couldn’t help but feel scared, and couldn’t stop crying.
“Are your knees okay?” Shen Xian Shen Xian reluctantly raised his hand to wipe Lan Yuan’s tears. He noticed that Lan Yuan’s face was pale and he was worried about Lan Yuan’s health.
“Don’t worry, it’s okay.” Lan Yuan patted the back of Shen Xian’s hand to reassure her, “I have gained a lot of experience kneeling in the ancestral hall before, and I know how to be lazy, so it doesn’t hurt.”
Lan Yuan originally wanted to make a joke to comfort Shen Xian, but she didn’t expect that Shen Xian also started crying and put his face on her hand.
“I will never let you suffer at all in the future, and I won’t let anyone bully you.” Shen Xian said to Lan Yuan. She regretted not waking up earlier to save Lan Yuan.
“I won’t let anyone bully you in the future.” Lan Yuan touched Chen Xian’s hair and continued to comfort her lover.
In the dim ward, two thin bodies supported each other, both willing to give everything to protect each other.
“It’s very cold in the room, please put on more clothes.” Shen Xian noticed that Lan Yuan’s clothes were too thin.
“Are you cold too?” Lan Yuan patted her forehead, forgetting that there was no charcoal basin or heating in the room, and Shen Xian’s quilt was not thick.
“I’m fine, I don’t feel much.” The anesthetic had not completely worn off, and Shen Xian indeed had no sense of warmth or cold.
Shen Xian had wounds on her body and could not be covered with a heavy quilt. Lan Yuan quickly asked the nurse to find a duvet to cover her.
Perhaps because his body had warmed up a little, Shen Xian fell asleep again in a daze.
Lan Yuan looked at Shen Xian sleeping quietly, her eyes were as gentle as water but as tough as a sword. She would never allow anyone to hurt her in the slightest.
Then she said goodbye to Hunter and said she was going back to Lan’s house to make a break.
The door of Lan’s house was closed and the lights were bright. Mr. Lan was restless, panicking about waiting for death but not wanting to die. Mrs. Lan was also at a loss, holding a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Lan Yuan knocked on the door twice, and servants immediately came to open the door. They knew that the young lady’s friend had a rich background, and they did not dare to disrespect Lan Yuan at the moment.
Lan Yuan pointed out that she wanted to find her father, and the servant immediately led her to the hall to meet Mr. Lan.
Lan Yuan looked at her parents in the hall and felt only anger and hatred. They were not as polite and considerate as usual, and they even skipped the salute.
“Do you still have the nerve to come back?” Master Lan was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he slapped Lan Yuan on the face.
“It must be my father who lost all face. He was pinned to the ground in such a state of embarrassment.” Lan Yuan frowned coldly, mentioning what happened in the morning.
Even after being slapped, Lan Yuan’s back remained straight, and there was no longer any fear or respect for her parents in her heart. Instead, there was only a cold attitude.
“You…you are rebellious and unworthy of your descendants! It’s because I didn’t teach my daughter well that she won’t dare to see her ancestors when she ascends to heaven!” Mrs. Lan knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to repent to her ancestors in heaven.
“Mom, why do you have to be so pretentious? You didn’t treat me as your daughter at all last night!” Lan Yuan still remembers her mother’s indifference and disgust when she was tested.
“Mom and Dad, today is the last time that my daughter has stepped into the Lan family. From the moment you disrespected human life and used violence against Shen Xian, I have abandoned you from the bottom of my heart.” Lan Yuan solemnly informed her parents.
“What you need is an obedient and well-behaved daughter who can be controlled and exchanged for benefits at will. But I have never been a tool. I am a living person. I also have emotions and desires, but you have never had the slightest respect for me, so that’s it. We will never meet each other from now on.”
When she said these words, eighteen years of life in the Lan Mansion flashed through Lan Yuan’s mind again. Although Lan Yuan thought about the tenderness this family once gave her, those things seemed like mirror flowers and moonlight, and they were just illusions in the end.
“You, you…, how could I have an unfilial child like you!” Master Lan pointed at Lan Yuan’s face, his lips were trembling, his features were ferocious, and his face was full of anger.
Looking at the daughter in front of her who was completely bewitched by Shen Xian and even wanted to be abandoned by her parents, Mrs. Lan continued to kneel down and shout: “My family is unlucky, my family is unlucky!”
But they really can’t control this daughter. Normally, they would put Lan Yuan under house arrest completely, but now that they know the mountains behind Lan Yuan, they still bully the weak and fear the strong. They no longer dare to deal with her at will, because they know that Shen Xian and the Xu family will not let the Lan family go!
“Okay, I’ll just pretend that I don’t have a daughter like you anymore, get out of here, get out of here!” Master Lan roared.
Lan Yuan had already guessed her father’s reaction, and there was no wave in her heart. She turned around and left the living room, heading towards her yard.
She first organized the things in Shen Xian’s house, and Lan Yuan randomly packed a few pieces of her own clothes into boxes, put on her coat and shoes, and walked out of the room carrying two boxes.
There was only ashes in the brazier in the courtyard!
A few crystal stones dropped from the side of the brazier, letting Lan Yuan know the final fate of her dress.
Seeing the dazzling clothes turned into lifeless ashes, Lan Yuan felt sad. She touched a handful of ashes and said goodbye to the clothes.
“Miss, do you really want to leave the Lan family?” Jasmine has been waiting for Lan Yuan to come back in the yard, but now she sees Lan Yuan coming back, with runny nose and tears.
Over the years, it has become Jasmine’s habit to serve the young lady. Although Jasmine knows that she is a servant, she also knows that the young lady treats her like a sister!
Now that the young lady has left here, Jasmine feels that she has nothing to put her emotions on, and there is infinite reluctance and loneliness in her heart.
“Jasmine, I will no longer be a young lady of the Lan family. Thank you for your care and tolerance for me these years.” Lan Yuan shook Jasmine’s hand in farewell.
“Are you really going to leave? There’s no way things will work out between you and Shen Xian. Now if you admit your mistake to your parents-in-law, you’ll have a good life in the future.” Su Wan came over to stop Lan Yuan.
“A good life?” Lan Yuan sneered, “What counts as a good life? If I continue to stay here, what is the difference between my fate and yours?”
Su Wan felt angry when she heard the disparagement in Lan Yuan’s tone. Then she remembered that Lan Yuan almost killed her that morning, and became even more angry. “Leave now, and you will suffer the consequences in the future!”
Originally, Lan Yuan didn’t like Su Wan. He hated her for being a bully and a selfish villain. Now she no longer pretends to be friendly on the surface, “How is my brother treating you? Are you happy in your marriage? I don’t see my brother drinking flower wine!”
Lan Yuan knew what Su Wan was most afraid of, so she deliberately said these words to stimulate her!
Su Wan was hurt by Lan Yuan. After marrying Lan Zhi, she never felt happy. The responsibility of reproduction and taking care of her parents-in-law made her breathless!
Moreover, Lan Zhi has been using the excuse that he is busy with business in Peiping and does not want to go back to Yangzhou. Su Wan also understands that Lan Zhi has a lover there, but she can only turn a blind eye.
“Will you be happy? Do you really think you and Chen Xian can be together forever? The eyes and spit of the world are enough to crush you to death.” Su Wan retorted, and she also wanted to stab Lan Yuan’s heart.
“I don’t need you to worry about it. Just take care of your cheating and mediocre husband first.” Lan Yuan walked away carrying the box.
Suddenly, as if she thought of something again, Lan Yuan stopped and looked back at Su Wan, her eyes as calm as dead water——
“Su Wan, I have lived in this family for eighteen years. The decadence here is almost feudal. I am very glad that Shen Xian’s appearance has taught me that people can have dignity and appearance as human beings, that men and women can be equal, that they can study and love each other freely. I am very grateful for her appearance.”
“I really hate you, but as a woman, I also hope that you can boldly get rid of Lan Zhi and the Lan family!”
After saying that, Lan Yuan walked straight towards the ancestral hall. She wanted to put an end to the place in her home that she hated most before leaving.
Looking at the ranking of the ancestors, Lan Yuan felt no emotion in her heart. She just regarded these as rotten wood and felt that they had no meaning.
Picking up the oil pot, Lan Yuan poured the oil on the table, then picked up the candle and threw it directly upward——
The blazing flames burned quickly and instantly climbed up the wooden rows of the Lan family. Looking at the fire, Lan Yuan smiled happily. The relief from the inside out made her feel like she was reborn!
On such an unforgettable night, Lan Yuan turned her back to the fire and walked out of Lan Mansion carrying the box.
It was pitch dark on the road, but Lan Yuan didn’t feel the darkness. She felt that although Shen Xian was not walking next to her, Shen Xian had already lit a thousand candles for her, illuminating all her comings and goings!
And her Chenxian is sleeping deeply waiting for her to return. Her heart has already been filled with love, and she is not afraid of the darkness!
This night, the blue kite walked towards the light, the light was so warm and healing!
