captive skylark

Chapter 4
Yunxi has lived in Xie's mansion since then.

The funeral of the Jiang family was also on the agenda, and it was scheduled to be seven days later.

It's just that the Jiang family's family is in Shangjing, so they have to send the coffin to the ancestral grave for burial.

During this period, Xie Dingfang, the master of the Xie family, also returned home from a long journey.

Seeing Yunxi, I cried again, needless to say.

He asked her if she was used to living here.

Yunxi nodded, "I'm used to living here, my brothers and sisters are all very kind to me."

Especially Xie Shuang, a younger sister of the same age finally came to the family, and every day when he had free time, he would go to Tangluo Garden to talk to her.

"That's good." Xie Dingfang still had pain in his eyes, "I'm just a younger sister like your mother. Now that you come to my house, you are the same as my own girl. If there is something missing in the future, just say it. From now on , this is your home."

Yun Xi responded, and two lines of tears quietly rolled down her cheeks.

It is silent, but it is the most pitiful.

Xie Dingfang said to her: "The day to go to Beijing is set in three days. Although Yang Xia is not far from Shangjing, he still has to go to Qingzhou on the way. Your father's case is a bit strange, and now the Qingzhou government has taken over it , to report to Shangjing, you need your father's official documents. But don't be afraid, your elder brother Xingzhi will accompany you all the way, just talk to him if you have anything to say."

The girl in the boudoir cares about this, but she is the only one left in the Jiang family, so she can only discuss it with her.

After Yun Xi finished listening, she tightly squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand, and silently lowered her eyes, "Yu'er remembers it, and listens to uncle."

So it was settled.

It was only the second day that Yunxi fell ill.

He had a high fever at night, and when the high fever finally subsided, he lay on the couch coughing again and again.

The doctor came to see me, and said that I was suffering from the cold in the snow some time ago, and I was overly sad, which made me depressed and sick.

So I prescribed a few decoctions and drank it, but it didn't get any better.

After being sick like this for only two days, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and his already thin body looks weaker and weaker.

Mrs. Xie felt distressed when she saw this, and she refused to go all the way to Qingzhou.

"I don't have a daughter anymore, Yuan'er can't have any accidents anymore. If something happens to her on the way, how will I explain to her mother when I go there in the future?"

Mrs. Xie didn't care about it, and said it in Yunxi's room.

Xie Dingfang persuaded patiently from the side, "Mother, it's just a common cold. Take the doctor with you all the way, and never let..."

"If I say no, I won't!"

Mrs. Xie interrupted him sharply, and sat down on the side of the couch around the screen, and hugged Yunxi into her arms, "I don't care! I'm going to you guys, this matter should be taken care of by you men, why bother me Yuan'er."

"Mother!"

Xie Dingfang only felt a headache, but also worried that the girl's boudoir was not easy to enter, so he continued to persuade him outside, "Yuan'er is the only remaining flesh and blood of Jiang's family, you don't let her go, this, this, this... is outrageous!"

"I don't care what looks or what doesn't." Mrs. Xie's voice choked up, "I just want my Yuan'er to be safe."

"My poor Yuan'er..."

Mrs. Xie didn't care about him anymore, she hugged Yunxi and cried bitterly.

"Grandma, don't cry."

Yun Xi raised his head from her embrace, his pale little face was sickly, without a trace of blood.

She smiled weakly, and made up her mind, "I'll just stay with you and not go anywhere."

Xie Dingfang had no choice but to let Xie Heng lead the coffin to Beijing alone.
