Dinner ended unhappily, but Hong Ningxiang did not go back to the room immediately, but wandered around in Yixian Village.

From the outside, the courtyard is covered in snow and ice, cold and empty, but the inside of the house is the opposite of the outside, and the decoration is warm and comfortable, making people feel at home.

All of this is Mei Qiu's credit, which shows that Mei Qiu is a good woman who can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, no wonder Shi Dingfeng values her so much.

In fact, she knew in her heart that if she hadn't met Shi Dingfeng, maybe she would have lived an ordinary life at home like Mei Qiu.

As early as when Master tested her Dao heart with a dream mirror, it had already foreshadowed the life she really wanted to live.

The fantasy dream of "husband and child" is the truest desire in her heart.

Although in her previous life, she changed from a maid to a female demon, and it sounds like she is a person who is prone to extremes, in fact, she likes quiet and peaceful days in her bones, she doesn't like killing at all, and she doesn't like all the dark and cruel things in the world.

In her previous life, she was originally an ordinary and humble maid, because she met such an excellent man as Shi Dingfeng, because she wanted to get his equal love, in order to be worthy of him, in order to be comparable to him, in order to catch up with him, she took the initiative to ask for her life to come to the demon world as a spy, and worked hard for Liu Qingming, the young master of the Demon Sect, and betrayed Liu Qingming for Shi Dingfeng;

Because she provoked Liu Qingming, Liu Qingming also indirectly became one of the murderers who caused her into the devil, and Liu Qingming resurrected her in this life because she wanted to make up for the damage caused to her in her previous life.

If she hadn't met them, maybe she would have lived alone in a peaceful little place, living an ordinary and tranquil life, just like Mei Qiu, guarding a mansion, cultivating quietly, no one disturbing her, and being leisurely.

But the heavens seemed to have deliberately arranged this fateful catastrophe, and she couldn't avoid it, she couldn't escape, and there was no other way than to do her best to maneuver between the two of them and solve the cause and effect caused by her.

I thought about it again and again, because of these two men, I suffered a lot of pain and hatred, but because of them, I got a family, got family affection, and even the love that I lacked in my previous life was made up for in this life.

When she was brought to the free cultivation world by Liu Qingming to be resurrected, she painfully didn't want to live, but now she feels lucky, fortunately survived, otherwise how to know the many truths when she entered the demon in her previous life, how to clear herself through cultivating immortals, and justify her name.

Hong Ningxiang stood on the corridor of a warm pavilion, looking at the pale blue sky of the Demon Realm, letting the snowflakes drift in and fall on her body, the slightest coldness invaded her cheeks, making her feel unprecedented sobriety.

"It's getting late, ma'am. ”

In the midst of his thoughts, suddenly, footsteps approached.

Hong Ningxiang turned around and saw Mei Qiu coming over.

Mei Qiu seemed to have bathed, changed into an azure robe, and the cuffs were beautifully embroidered, showing that the skin on her wrists was as white as jade.

Hong Ningxiang bowed slightly to her, "Miss Mei manages this Zhuangzi every day, and she received us back today, so she must be very tired." The weather in the Demon Realm is so cold, why didn't Miss Mei rest earlier?"

Mei Qiu walked to her side and looked into the distance, her gaze was distant and calm, "It's my blessing to be able to receive the Ninth Master back this time." No matter where the ninth master goes, as long as the ninth master comes back here, there will be a clean bed to sleep on, hot meals to eat, and hot water to drink, so that the ninth master has a warm home to dock, I have nothing else to think about, and this is the only thing I can do for the ninth master now. ”

Isn't this the kind of thing that should be said to a husband as a wife?

In what capacity did this woman say such a thing?

Or, does she think that she has been ordered by the Ninth Master to take care of this village, and this is the Ninth Master's home?

Could it really be as she guessed, Mei Qiu—not just Shi Dingfeng's subordinate, but also his concubine?

Hong Ningxiang's heart was shocked, and she didn't even realize that she had completely overturned the vinegar jar, but she didn't want to show any gaffe in front of this woman.

Regardless of whether Mei Qiu is the concubine of the Ninth Master or not, she should be calm.

After all, Shi Dingfeng was a man in the end, and in the years when she "fell", even if he couldn't bear the loneliness and accepted a concubine, there was no fuss.

She can no longer be like in her previous life, for whether his love is divided by others, and suffer from gains and losses, and easily lose control.

"Miss Mei treats the Ninth Master so well, presumably the Ninth Master treats Miss Mei well, in the years when I was not by the Ninth Master's side, I worked hard for Miss Mei. She said calmly, but there was a wordless bitterness in her heart.

"Madame is gracious. The Ninth Master once saved my life, if it weren't for the Ninth Master's support, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today, and compared to his kindness to me, what I did was nothing. ”

It turns out that there is a past between this woman and the ninth master that she doesn't know?

"Miss Mei is modest, if you don't have some real skills, just relying on the shackles of life-saving grace, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get the respect of the Ninth Master. She knew this very well with her understanding of Shi Dingfeng. Shi Dingfeng was so shrewd, she didn't believe that he would confuse official affairs with kindness.

Mei Qiu seemed to be aware of her inquiring gaze, and didn't intend to say too much about the matter between her and Shi Dingfeng, and smiled bitterly self-deprecatingly: "Madame praised it falsely, it was because I wanted to repay the kindness of the ninth master, so I stayed by his side." There has never been a shortage of capable people around the ninth master, even if there is no obstacle for me, I can get his favor, and I am already content. ”

How did the Ninth Master take care of you? Hong Ningxiang almost asked, but out of strong self-esteem, she forced this sentence back, she couldn't mess with herself, tried to calm the surging emotions in her heart, and said lightly: "Then I thank you for this kindness on behalf of the Ninth Master." The hour is not early, I am going to rest, and you should rest early. ”

She turned around to leave, but heard Mei Qiu say behind her: "Madam, slow down, can you listen to me again?"

Hong Ningxiang stood still and didn't look back, "You say." ”

"I know that I shouldn't talk about the Ninth Master behind my back today, but there are some things I still want to say to my wife. Mei Qiu said very clearly, word by word, "When Mrs. fell from the Demon Realm, the Ninth Master was depressed for many years, even if the Lady left an heir at that time, it failed to alleviate the pain of the Ninth Master, and for many years after that, the Ninth Master has been punishing himself with self-suffering, and these things are obvious to all of us as subordinates." Now that the Ninth Master has returned to the Demon Realm with his wife, presumably you must have reconciled, and I am naturally happy for the Ninth Master. But I know that this place in the Demon Realm may make Madame remember many past events, and I am worried that Madame will be angry with the Ninth Master because of this. No matter how the Ninth Master failed Mrs. in the past, those things have passed after all, I hope that Mrs. will let go of her knot and be more considerate of the Ninth Master. ”

In this day and night, Hong Ningxiang couldn't sleep well because of Mei Qiu's words, and kept thinking about the things of his previous life.

She believes that what Mei Qiu said is true, Shi Dingfeng has always been punishing herself with self-suffering, and she should also be considerate of Shi Dingfeng.

After all, Shi Dingfeng was also one of the victims in the matter of her becoming a demon, not only that, but in this life when she was reborn, he connived at her to take revenge on him, connived at her to raise a demon, and connived at her to recognize his old enemy as her brother.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Shi Dingfeng had suffered too many grievances.

But on what basis is Mei Qiu qualified to seek her understanding for the ninth master?

Listening to Mei Qiu's words for the ninth master, she felt more and more that Mei Qiu and Shi Dingfeng had an extraordinary relationship.

It is not easy for Hong Ningxiang to understand the ninth master, but he can't generously share his man with other women.

"What, haven't slept yet?" In the dark room, Hong Ningxiang just turned over, and felt a sinking behind him, Shi Dingfeng's tough voice sounded above his head, and he took her into his arms with a pair of big hands.

"If you don't come back, how can I sleep?" Hong Ningxiang didn't wrap around his body as usual, just let him hold him and whispered.

"You asked me to check Zhu Chenfeng's news before, but in recent days, I have been a little eyebrows. I just received a message from Wu Xing temporarily, so I went out. Shi Dingfeng sighed, this woman is afraid that she is angry with him, and she is still so ostrich-like. No matter how sluggish he was, he wouldn't fail to see why she was angry. Ever since she saw Mei Qiu, this woman has become jealous. It's a good thing to be jealous, and it's good to let her be jealous, just to settle old accounts with her. She didn't take the initiative to ask about Mei Qiu, so he didn't give any explanation, he wanted to see how long she could endure it.

"Have you found out the whereabouts of Senior Brother Zhu?" Hong Ningxiang seemed to regain his strength and raised his eyes to stare at him, "Is he also in the Demon Realm?"

"Yes, he's in the Demon Realm. Originally, Wu Xing found out his whereabouts, but in the past few days, he has disappeared again. ”

"I'm the one who has caused him, no...... I'll have to go find him. "If it weren't for the fact that it was already night, Hong Ningxiang really wanted to get up and leave this gentle country immediately.

"You can't go anywhere. Shi Dingfeng snorted as if threatening, "Recently, the Demon Realm has not been peaceful, the Demon Sect has been fighting fiercely, and you have just come back and are not familiar with the Demon Realm." If someone leaks the news of the return of the Lingxiao Witch, I don't know how many enemies will find you. Do you know how dangerous it would be if your identity was revealed!"

"I ......" Hong Ningxiang shut up suddenly, she naturally didn't want to provoke the enemies of her previous life, but she also knew that she would have to face it sooner or later, "But I can't stay here all the time, I still have to go to find Liuli." “

"I said I was going to look for Liuli, I'm afraid I also want to see that bastard. One Zhu Chenfeng, one Liu Qingming, you only remember them in your heart, don't you?" Shi Dingfeng pinched her chin and stared at her with a bottomless gaze, "Do you have your husband in your eyes?"

"Am I all married to you?" Hong Ningxiang looked away and muttered softly. This time was different, she knew his thoughts, so even if he said so fiercely, she was not afraid of him at all.

Shi Dingfeng let go of her, lay down next to her kimono, closed his eyes, turned his back to her and said, "Don't worry, I have asked Wu Xing to continue to investigate the news of Zhu Chenfeng, and I will tell you if I have my whereabouts." As for Liuli, when the internal strife in the Demon Sect has passed, I will go back to Rainbow City with you to find him. ”
