小屋內，孩子的啜泣声没持续太久。

高枝搂著温言，安慰性地拍抚孩子瘦弱的肩膀，期间没过问一句从前的事。

她知道，孩子虽小，心却积攒了伤痛，时日久了，结了痂，形成一层雪冻住的枷锁，无法消融。

若让他敞开心扉，便是强行迫他撕开那层结好的痂。

高枝不愿让温言难受。

“不管从前如何，如今有娘在这儿，你不用害怕了。”

“娘……”

温言肩膀抽搐，像是想起了最撕心裂肺的记忆，泪如雨下，“可是您还会离开言儿的……”

“不会的。”

高枝將人抱得更紧，料想这孩子是没忘记生母如何离去，不禁感到心酸，“我不会走，不会离开你，言儿放心。”

“娘之前也说不会，可还是走了。”

温言嚎啕出来：“言儿好害怕，言儿不想当哥哥，当哥哥好辛苦，阿弟阿妹吃不饱，言儿把吃的都让给他们，

可言儿真的好饿，言儿饿得睡不著觉，饿得肚子好痛。”

高枝一愣，“言儿之前都將吃的都让给弟妹吗？”

“嗯……”

温言抽噎道：“父亲带著我们逃亡，一路上…我们常躲在偏僻的地方，找不到吃的，父亲身上没多少盘缠…都拿给我们买吃的，

父亲的腿伤得好重好重，却没钱去治…弟妹不够吃，我只能…只能將吃的都让给他们。”

高枝试想过鄷彻逃亡这一年会很艰难，却没想到他惨到连治病的钱都拿不出。

几个孩子嗷嗷待哺，吃都吃不饱，还要躲避追杀，披荆斩棘赶回京城。

在这般处境下，他的腿才会坏成那样。

难怪，她在城门下见到的鄷彻才那般瘦削黯然。

前世，她就是在他那般惨澹的处境下，毅然同他割袍断婚。

可想而知，他当时有多难过。

高枝听著孩子泣不成声，也不禁鼻头一酸，柔下声引导：“可如今，府上不再缺食物了，阿言为何不吃？”

“我不知道…我真的不知道。”

温言无措地抓住高枝衣袖，“我好像成了怪人，母亲，我不会饿，看著这些吃的，就想起先前饭不够吃的时候，

有时勉强吃下去，肚子就不舒服，好像要撑开了，阿言好怕…怕自己会死掉。”

高枝揉著男孩儿的脑袋，“有母亲在，你不会死，也不是怪人，你只是病了，

我会帮你调理好身体，言儿，相信母亲，日后在王府，不会有人再欺负薄待了你去。”

温言扎进高枝怀里，用力点头。

“主子……”

苍朮一声呼唤，才让门外僵硬许久的鄷彻回过头来。

“属下失职，竟没发觉那几个嬤嬤如此欺压两位公子。”

苍朮攥著拳，想起方才隨鄷彻入內时，几个嬤嬤还在告高枝的状，邀功自己是连家老人，不可受此大刑。

现在想来，打板子都是轻的。

“板子照打，扔回连家，同习老夫人说明。”

鄷彻落音，屋门正好从里头被打开。

对上高枝怀中哭得肿成桃子眼的男孩儿，鄷彻心口被人重击了一般，思及亡友嘱託，苦涩与后悔在胸口翻滚。

【我怎么这样蠢。】

【竟没发觉言儿一个人受了这么多委屈。】

高枝瞧著男人眸底黯然和愧疚交织，一时间不知该如何开口。

鄷彻抬起的手掌隱隱发抖，朝温言的方向招了招，又落了下来，“是父亲对不住你，言儿。”

“不是的。”

温言连忙跑过去，抓住鄷彻的手，意料不到自己说的话让鄷彻听到了，“父亲当时將所有吃的都给了我们，

您自己吃不饱，还去挖野草充飢，您的腿也没钱去医治，是我们几个拖累了您……”

鄷彻覆住男孩儿的脑袋，將孩子抱住，唇瓣发抖，“对不起。”

见男人红了眼眶，高枝也不禁喉咙发涩。

温言哭了好一阵，高枝將人哄睡后出门，苍朮上前稟话：“王妃，主子已经將人都遣回连家了。”

高枝见男人不在院中，料想他此刻心情定是不好，不愿让她看到狼狈模样。

“温行院的下人，我全都会换，让他…不用担心这个。”

苍朮复杂点头，“是，也多亏了王妃您，主子这一路，的確是吃了很多苦。”

院子里没其他人。

或许，这是最適合问清这一切的时机。

“苍朮。”
