It is the time when the clouds stop raining

Chapter 21: The Disappearance of Yan Shi

The man lying on the ground spoke intermittently: "Prince... Your Highness..., for the kindness of a meal I gave you back then..., please don't implicate... Le Yinyin... and give me another... quick death." After he finished speaking, he vomited blood and was only left with a breath of life.

Song Le Yin staggered over and cried loudly: "Master, Master." Then she looked at the prince: "I am in the Song family, and I'm sure the prince knows that I'm an unimportant person. Even if I surrender to the prince today, I'll be useless." Didn't Xia Qi Yang just want to be a double spy himself to help him get information from the Prime Minister's Mansion and even the Queen.

Even if she agreed today, what would it matter? Thinking of the faces of the Song family, no one in that family gave her warmth, only the master loved her. What would be wrong with betraying them for the master?

Xia Qi Yang saw Song Le Yin relax and said, "Whether you have a good knife or not, only the person who holds it in his hand knows. I will call the imperial physician to treat my benefactor." After saying that, Xia Qi Yang left, leaving Song Le Yin hugging her master tightly.

Yan Shi used to be a court musician of the Great Xia Kingdom. His daily job was to perform folk music in the palace, and he lived a simple and happy life.

Because of the misfortune of the Yun family, the prince pleaded for mercy. For a time, the prince was disliked by Emperor Shengwen. People in the palace were very good at changing their attitudes according to the situation. Coupled with the intentional or unintentional instigation of the queen, the prince had a hard time in the palace and could not even fill his stomach every day.

Once, when Yan Shi finished playing a piece and was about to return to the musicians' residence, he saw the pale and thin prince and handed the cake in his arms to Xia Qi Yang.

In the following days, Yan Shi would bring a cake for the prince to eat. One day, the band's chief director found out and scolded Yan Shi, asking him to resign voluntarily.

Yan Shi was only seventeen years old at that time.

After resigning, Yan Shi was invited by the Duke of Song's Mansion to be a musician for the children.

At that time, Song Leyin was not favored. She didn't have her own name at the age of five and was always called "waiter".

When Yan Shi saw the thin Song Le Yin, he envied others for having their own names, so he suggested to Duke Song, who was not yet the prime minister at the time, that he should also give the second daughter a name.

Duke Song entrusted the task of naming to Yan Shi, who named her Song Le Yin and sought the opinions of the Duke and his wife.

The two had no objection to what Song Le Yin should be named, so Song Xiao Er changed his name to Song Le Yin from then on.

Although Song Leyin was only five years old at that time, she knew clearly that because her parents did not like her, she did not even have a proper name. It was not until Yan Shi gave her a name that she felt extremely excited.

From then on, in Song Leyin's heart, Yan Shi was a very good master. She practiced hard and was determined not to let down the master's teachings.

It turns out that he is a very good person. He is as gentle as the piano he plays.

Song's parents usually either beat or scold Song Le Yin or treat her coldly. They never treat their child like normal parents.

Song Fendi was even more sarcastic to her. When Song Fendi knew that her name was Song Leyin, she thought it sounded better than her own name and started crying and making a fuss, because in Song Fendi's eyes, her name was only worthy of puppies, kittens and waiters.

Song Ci was always silent at home, no matter to her or others. Even when he was rude to his parents, his parents would still smile and coax him, their voices as gentle as the spring breeze: "Song Ci, let's make your favorite braised fish for lunch, okay?"

Song Leyin was envious at the time. If she had been born later and become disabled, no one in her family would know that she also loved to eat fish.

Only Yan Shi smiled at him gently. When she was a child, she always thought how great it would be if the master was her parents.

When she first had her period at the age of twelve, Song Le Yin didn't understand anything and thought she was going to die. The maids and old women didn't care about her. When they saw that she was scared, they laughed as if they were looking at a fool.

It was still in the afternoon class when Yan Shi discovered something was wrong. He remembered that after class, everyone else had left, and Song Le Yin's dress was covered in blood. She didn't dare to move, and cried to Yan Shi, "I'm bleeding non-stop, and I'm going to die soon."

If asked who she would miss the most if she died, it would definitely not be her parents, but her master Yan Shi.

After listening to her, Yan Shi figured out the situation and told her with a blushing face that this was a normal phenomenon for women.

At that time, Song Leyin was so happy that she didn't have to die. She couldn't bear to leave her master and wanted to continue practicing the piano with Yan Shi.

Later, since she was the only one left in the family to learn the art of playing the zither, Song Leyin became Yan Shi's disciple.

That was the happiest time in Song Le Yin's life. Although practicing every day was very hard, she felt that it was all worth it when she could meet her master.

The seeds of love slowly grow and sprout along with the spring breeze and the sound of the piano, until they become a beautiful piece of music and a wonderful journey.

They both knew from the beginning that a relationship between an unpopular young lady from a duke's mansion and a musician without a family background would end in failure, like a moth to a flame.

It was not until Song Le Yin's fifteenth birthday that her parents, who had always only remembered Song Ci's birthday, gave her a headdress for the first time.

Song Leyin was quite happy at that time. She thought that her parents must have noticed that she was good at piano and gave her the reward.

In the following six months, Song Leyin practiced even harder and often exchanged piano skills with Yan Shi, and their relationship gradually warmed up.

Yan Shi said that he wanted to be brave for her once.

Song Leyin held the piano that she was most familiar with and sat there waiting anxiously. She even accidentally broke a string that day.

Since then, Song Le Yin hadn't seen Yan Shi for a long time. No matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find her master, the person she loved.

The first time she went to argue with her parents, her father Song Wancheng got so angry that he slapped her, and her mother called her a little bitch.

No matter whether she, Song Le Yin, was a born bitch or Song Xiao Er who was bullied by everyone, she just wanted to know where Yan Shi was and whether he was safe.

Yan Shi was just a musician, an ant in the eyes of the Duke's Mansion. If he was stepped on to death, it wouldn't even make a sound.

Her mother forced her to marry the current crown prince, and the room sent her jewelry that only Song Fendi was qualified to wear.

Song Fendi came over and showed off: "Waiter, I don't want these jewels, and I don't want the prince either. I'll give them all to you to enjoy."

Song Leyin looked at the room full of jewels, wondering about her master's safety.

Nothing in the room was as dazzling as the hairpin her master gave her. Although it was bought on the roadside for two taels of silver, Song Le Yin always carried it with her.

Having not been able to find a master or see her master for so long, and also wanting to marry the prince, Song Leyin made a bold decision.

Thinking of what her parents had said, the reason they asked her to learn the musical instrument was to have talent so that she could put her skills to good use in the future and become someone who could contribute to the Song family.

Song Leyin touched the hairpin on her head. She hadn’t seen her master for so long, and there was a high probability that he had died.

Song Leyin hanged himself.
