After Yinyu left, Xiao Shunzi drove us back to Fahua Temple, and he didn't speak all the way, just hurried away. I didn't have the heart to say anything to him, Yun Hui didn't dare to speak when he saw this atmosphere, and the three of them were silent until the carriage was firmly at the back mountain gate, and we returned to the meditation room where Geng's mother was.

Fortunately, it was timely to come back, Geng's mother just got up from sleep, asked where to go, only said that she walked in the back mountain, and got lost halfway and took a long detour, so it took a long time.

Regarding my statement, Yun Hui followed suit, Xiao Shunzi was still silent and did not refute, Geng's mother also believed it, and said that after all, she was a woman who had been out of the cabinet, although she had accepted the grace, but she should have gone back earlier.

After Yinyu's incident, the original interest that arose because it was difficult to get out of the house has disappeared, and when I heard Geng's mother say this, I agreed to it. After sending Geng's mother back to Geng's house, the group returned to Yinzhen's Baylor Mansion.

I changed into comfortable clothes, leaned on the couch, and slowly calmed down. At this time, I began to think about Xiao Shunzi's attitude and the possible impact of this incident. Thinking that Xiao Shunzi has been silent, he can only guess that Xu is inconvenient to ask more questions when he sees that there are many people outside, or maybe he has not recovered from the contradiction between heaven and man in his heart. Let him calm down and think about it, if he has the same heart for me as before, he will inevitably ask me about today's events, listen to me give him an explanation, and ask for peace of mind. On the contrary, if you still don't do any verification after tonight, I'm afraid you will be separated from me, not only to be careful with him in the future, but also to consider how I should deal with him after he tells Yinzhen the truth. However, with Yinzhen's temperament at that time, no matter how I explain it, I am afraid that the situation in the future will be very difficult.

Because of such thoughts, I also saved the opportunity for Xiao Shunzi to talk to herself, and deliberately let Wanqing go to rest after nightfall, leaving Yunhui to keep vigil, waiting to see Xiao Shunzi's attitude before deciding the follow-up plan.

Yun Hui helped me rub my sore knees after walking, and muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity that the ninth master's heart, if Gege should be down today, there is no need to have so many worries now." ”

I sighed and smiled helplessly: "You can really only think of one of them, but you can't think of the other." If I respond today, Xiao Shunzi will definitely not live, and if he follows his method, how many innocent homeless people will be said to be mobs, so they have suffered unjustified injustices and been innocently implicated. And my Geng family's reputation will also be ruined. You can't just think about yourself, can you?"

"Why did Junko die...... Can't you just take him with you?" "Yun Hui is not very old after all, and his thoughts are always naïve.

"For if he takes Gege away, I will stop him to the death. Before I could speak, Junko's voice came from the door. His steps were so light that we didn't notice that he had entered the house and closed the door.

Seeing Xiao Shunzi come in, my hanging heart also let go - it seems that he still chose to believe me.

Xiao Shunzi stepped forward and made a thousand, and after getting up, he stood still on the side, and did not speak, but seemed to be waiting for me to speak first.

"Yes, even if the Ninth Master doesn't kill Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Shunzi himself will not follow the Ninth Master, and even if he is not killed, he will cut himself, this is the only way he can be loyal. I glanced at Xiao Shunzi and said to Yun Hui.

The slave dared to ask, if there were no such ties and scruples, Gege would be willing to leave with the ninth master. Xiao Shunzi finally asked these words. "No—" I replied in the affirmative of his question, without hesitation. "Why? Gege is obviously ...... to the ninth master," Xiao Shunzi was puzzled. "Do you obviously have affection for him?" the second half of his unspoken words were said by me. Looking at his dodging gaze, I shook my head with a smile and continued: "Some feelings can't just be simply defined as liking or love, it can only be said that he has done a lot of things that make me feel moved and moved, and he used to be the warmest color in his life besides his family." “

Xiao Shunzi didn't seem to understand what I meant, I knew that this was not something he could understand, so he continued to explain: "I don't hide it from you, you should also know in your heart that the Geng family can't take out the things I married, just because he hopes that I can not be looked down on and help me make up a lot." Later, if it weren't for his support, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to survive the first days of entering the mansion. This is what I owe him, whether it is something or a favor, I can't afford to pay it back, but I have never thought of using my feelings to pay off the debt. For me, affection is the least valuable but also the most priceless. I do selfishly want to remember the warmth he gave, but fortunately, no matter how cold it is, I will not forget this temperature. But it's just this warmth, not the person. "But is this worthy of the master? The master has done so much to Gege, can't he be worthy of these small favors of the ninth master?" Xiao Shunzi still can't understand my words, in his opinion, I keep the warmth given by Yinzhen, which is equivalent to thinking about Yinzhen as a person, he is upset for Yinzhen, and his words unconsciously reveal excessive emotions, which I interpret as reprimanding me for my greed and ignorance.

I don't mind Xiao Shunzi having such accusations, because he is a person who was raised and cultivated by Yinzhen from a very young age, and his heart will naturally be more towards Yinzhen. "For the fourth master, I also have this thought. So even though I would be moved by his kindness to me, I never completely surrendered my heart. Just because the other party can't give me the wholeheartedness I want, I can't get all the sincerity I can give. I'm really selfish, and I've been absorbing the warmth they give, but what you don't know is that the purpose of collecting this warmth is to keep their warmth away in the future, and I have to face the cold years alone, but I can also rely on these warm memories to keep going strong. I stood up, walked to the bookcase, pushed open the window, stood in the cool wind and looked at the full moon outside the window, and sighed that it is not a good thing to understand some things too well, just like they can only see the good of Yinzhen to me in front of them, but they don't know that when another woman who will occupy all of Yinzhen's true heart appears, his good to me now is not a heart-piercing knife and murderous poison.

Xiaoshunzi, a year is not a long time, but you can also see through a person's temperament, I don't say it, you should know. I don't ask you to believe in me and be faithful to me, for your master is him from beginning to end. It's not a pity for me to die, but Yunhui is still young, and the brotherhood between the fourth master and the ninth master can't be ruined because of me. For the sake of the others in this courtyard, for your own sake, and for the sake of preserving their brotherhood, don't tell anyone about today's events, or you should know the consequences. I'll beg you this time, okay?" I walked up to Xiao Shunzi as I spoke, bowed to my body, and said.

"Gege, I can't help it!" My action surprised both Xiao Shunzi and Yun Hui, and they knelt down at the same time and stopped them with a voice.

"Don't hide it, the slave didn't even think to tell anyone about today's events. Xiao Shunzi fell to the ground and said in a muffled voice: "Actually...... The slave was even thinking that the Ninth Master dared to take such a big risk to take Gege away, and he was really good to Gege. Maybe Gege can live a stable life by following the Ninth Master. But Gege didn't leave, and the slave knew that Gege was not the kind of person who would turn his back on his master, and he was happy for his master, but he was also uncomfortable for Gege. ”

"Thank you......" I know that Xiao Shunzi is honest and has never doubted his loyalty to Yinzhen, but I didn't expect that at that time, I would think about it for me and go against this loyalty, so this word of thanks came from the bottom of my heart.

There is no need to say these words again. It's getting late today, and the minion will have to go to the front yard to resume his life, Gege's knees are just right, and he must be tired after walking a lot this way, although he can rest in peace. Xiao Shunzi got up and helped me to the couch, and motioned for Yun Hui to wait, and retired and left.

After Xiao Shunzi left, I took out the jade pendant that Yinyu sent, my fingers lightly outlined the pattern on it, and I didn't feel red again, until Yun Hui came back to his senses, said "It's okay", put away the jade pendant, thinking that since he was determined to break it off, this thing must also find a chance to return it to him, and he can't keep it anymore.
