Chapter 374: Regression
"No, no, how can this be?" Zhou Yuxue muttered to herself, squatting weakly on the ground, looking at the letter in her hand with confusion and resentment, and an urge to crush it. I always thought that with this letter, I could hug my big sister's thigh, but now it seems that it is simply a piece of waste paper. Since it's useless, what are you left for?!
"What's going on?" Just as Zhou Yuxue was straining her hand to crush the letter paper, a voice suddenly sounded. Her eyes lit up, and she looked up hopefully, only to see two people walking out of the door, the leader was about forty years old, dressed in a gray robe, and his eyes were bright, as if he could see through people. Behind him was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with hosta hair and blue clothes, neat and neat. Zhou Yuxue stood up slowly, her lips squirming, not knowing what to say.
As soon as the gatekeeper saw the arrival, he bowed down and saluted: "The little one has seen Kui Steward, and Si Yan has seen Si Yan's steward." A year later, Lan Xin had already promoted Si Yan to the position of steward and asked him to follow Xue Shan. Now that Xue Shan is not in the mansion, it is natural that Xue Kui will come over to take charge.
Xue Kui glanced lightly at the carriage not far away, and his sharp eyes stayed on the coachman for a while before moving away as if nothing had happened. glanced at Zhou Yuxue up and down, and asked the doorkeeper in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
The gatekeeper simply said the matter, omitting the paragraph where Zhou Yuxue claimed to be his own girl's sister, "······ The little one told her that the girl was not in the house, and she didn't know when she would come back. She said it was a matter of human life. As he spoke, Nunu mouthed, motioning to Xue Kui to look at the letter pinched in Zhou Yuxue's hand.
"What are you looking for my girl?" Xue Kui asked in a deep voice, frowning and glancing at the red mark on the letter.
Zhou Yuxue shrank for a moment, and he could feel the cold eyes of the person in front of him. But let her give up like this, she was unwilling. Moreover, she had a hunch that even if she turned around and left now, the person in front of her would not easily agree. For the first time, she felt that it was not easy to climb the big tree of her big sister. Her mind turned a thousand times, and after a struggle, she coughed lightly and whispered, "Since it's big······ Since your girl is not here, I ······ I ······ I'm looking for purple clothes. She exhaled lightly, and finally reluctantly gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Under Xue Kui's scrutinizing gaze, she withstood the pressure and said in a low voice, "This matter is the same as Ziyi's words. ”
Xue Kui glanced her up and down, turned and left. At the same time, he nodded to the porter. The concierge will understand and find someone to inform Ziyi. After Si Yan glanced at Zhou Yuxue deeply, he also turned around and left with Xue Kui.
Zhou Yuxue looked at the backs of several people, and secretly exhaled the turbid breath that was pressed on her chest. Perhaps, at the beginning, she came over and said that she was looking for Ziyi, and things would not have happened like that. I remembered the light in Ziyi's eyes when he saw his big brother. She pursed the corners of her mouth and looked at the letter in her hand that was a little sweaty in her hand, and she felt a little more calculating in her heart.
Seeing that Zhou Yuxue was still standing there, the concierge couldn't help but remind: "This lady, Sister Ziyi will come out from the corner gate in the east later, it will be more convenient for you to wait for her over there." As he spoke, he pointed to a boy who was just seven or eight years old and led them over.
Zhou Yuxue looked up at the closed door unwillingly, pursed the corners of her lips, and silently followed the child towards the corner gate.
Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer in the corner door, Zhou Yuxue withdrew her gaze and stared at the corner door reservedly. My heart was pounding, and I couldn't tell if I was more nervous or excited.
Ziyi's back was straight, his hands folded in front of his abdomen, and with a reserved smile on his face, he walked out with light steps. Smiled and asked, "This lady, I don't know ······ you" When she saw who was coming, she immediately restrained the smile on her face and asked coldly, "Why are you?" You are not welcome here, you should leave quickly. After speaking, he didn't listen to Zhou Yuxue's explanation, turned around and walked back.
"Whoa!" Zhou Yuxue's carefully prepared expression instantly shattered, she never thought that Ziyi would throw her face like this. If it weren't for the big sister's face, she would have rushed up and tore her face. Suppressing the resentment in his heart, he said in a low voice: "Something happened to the eldest brother." ”
The figure of the purple cloth was stunned, turned around in surprise, and asked in a panic, "What did you say? Say it again!"
Zhou Yuxue looked at Ziyi's anxious appearance proudly, raised her hand and brushed her hair, a picture that I will not repeat unless you beg me. "Childish!" pursed her lips, walked past her, and walked straight forward.
"Oh, where are you going?" Zhou Yuxue quickly grabbed Yuxue's sleeve and asked in a panic. Purple nimbly dodged her hand and continued to walk forward. Zhou Yuxue walked a few steps, followed behind her, and said quickly: "Oh, it's useless for you to be in such a hurry." The eldest brother was kidnapped, and this matter can only be solved by the eldest sister. Otherwise, the life of the eldest brother would be difficult to protect. Oops, why don't you stop and say nothing?" Zhou Yuxue complained while covering her pantothenic nose, which had been hit by purple clothes.
Ziyi ignored Zhou Yuxue's complaints, and asked straight to the point: "The eldest young master was kidnapped? Who kidnapped him? Did they ask the girl to come forward by name?"
Zhou Yuxue rubbed her nose and glared at Ziyi dissatisfied. After thinking about it, he said: "The eldest brother was kidnapped, and the other party did not specify that the eldest sister would come forward, but he asked for a ransom of 200,000 taels." There is so much silver, and only the big sister can get it right now. ”
Ziyi took the letter in her hand, and the more she looked at it, the more panicked she became, especially when she saw the bright red bloodstains, her whole heart was pulled together. He folded the letter carefully and said softly, "It's useless to say anything now, let's go over and take a look." With that, he walked towards the carriage that sent Zhou Yuxue over.
"Alas, if you don't ask the eldest sister to get the silver, even if it's over, what's the use?" Zhou Yuxue shouted at the back of the purple cloth. Seeing that Ziyi had already gotten into the carriage, she hurriedly chased after her skirt, "Alas, wait for me!" she climbed into the carriage with her hands and feet, and said breathlessly, "This is the carriage I hired!" Her voice became lower and lower, and she suddenly thought that she hadn't paid the coachman yet! her eyes swept the purse around Ziyi's waist intentionally or unintentionally.
