Ling Yun remembered that Xuezhu was in danger, and said to Ziruo: "I have something to do, you wait here." Ling Yun was reluctant to take Ziruo with him, in case he was jealous of Xuezhu, he would inevitably be in trouble.

Ziruo grabbed his clothes, felt uneasy, and said, "I don't want to stay here alone." ”

Ling Yun couldn't help but be embarrassed, and said, "Then you follow me, no matter what the situation, you are not allowed to speak, do you hear it?" ”

Zi Ruo nodded obediently, as long as she didn't stay in this dark and terrifying room, there was nothing difficult to do without speaking.

The two of them came to the courtyard of the study lightly, and Ling Yun whispered, "You wait for me outside the house." ”

Ling Yun took the candlestick and entered the room, the room was quiet, and everything was furnished as before.

Opening the chaise longue, in the dark, Xuezhu looked at him with big black eyes, holding a golden dagger in his hand, and when he saw that it was Ling Yun, he hurriedly threw down the dagger, crying with joy, and his snow-white arms wrapped around his neck.

Ling Yun comforted: "I'm scared to leave you here alone again, aren't you?"

Xuezhu sobbed: "I heard the footsteps just now, but I didn't hear your voice, and I thought there were zombies, so scared that I almost stabbed you with a dagger." ”

Ling Yun said: "Don't be afraid, tomorrow we will move out of the county government and not live in this pile of dead people." The eerie and terrifying images in the dungeon made him feel uneasy, and the county government had become a cemetery.

Xuezhu let out a soft "um" and then asked, "Who is she?" and her voice was full of doubt and a hint of displeasure.

Ling Yun turned around and saw Zi Ruo walking into the room, and said, "Didn't you ask you to wait outside?"

Zi Ruo said with an aggrieved face: "It's pitch black outside, there are so many dead people and white bones everywhere here, I'm afraid." ”

Ling Yun touched Xuezhu's face and said, "This is a servant girl under my hand, don't care." ”

Zi Ruo said angrily: "Who is your maidservant?"

Ling Yun said: "You are not my maidservant, do you also want to be my concubine?"

Ziruo was speechless, snorted, and ignored it again.

Xuezhu was originally pampered and arrogant, and her personality was jealous, but now she was full of vigilance against this beautiful woman, but she didn't dare to reveal the jealousy in her heart, after all, she was ruined, if she was disobedient, Ling Yun didn't have too deep feelings for herself, in case she was abandoned, her parents were old, how could she live.

Xuezhu said softly: "Xianggong, if you like it, you might as well take a room, I am willing to make a bed and fold quilts for the bride." "Women are good at pretending, if in order to please men and live a rich life without worrying about food and clothing, Xuezhu put away her jealous nature, and instead stood in Lingyun's perspective to please him.

Ziruo snorted and said, "If you want, I will serve your husband well, I don't want to." ”

Ling Yun said: "It's weird, it's weird! It's all women, how can some people be gentle as water, and some people are covered with thorns." ”

Xuezhu heard Ling Yun's praise, and secretly rejoiced in her heart: "Sure enough, she is still young and doesn't understand a man's mind, Xianggong understands that gentle women are the most considerate and hurtful, with her arrogant and brutal character, I'm afraid that as soon as the fresh momentum passes, she will fall out of favor." ”

Ziruo sneered at each other: "Who made you dream of a group of wives and concubines, I would rather become a monk." ”

Ling Yun smiled and said, "Then if I only marry you, will I not worship the Buddha and come to serve me?"

Ziruo looked disgusted and said, "Bah, even if the men in the world die, you don't think that I will obey you!"

Xuezhu had already crawled out of the dark grid, the candlestick was placed on the desk, the dark grid was dim, Ziruo leaned on the threshold, and did not see the vault.

Xuezhu secretly closed the mechanism of the chaise longue, not wanting Ziruo to see the piles of vaults in the silver mountain.

Moved to Ling Yun's side, bit his ear, and said softly: "Xianggong, I'll help you convince her." ”

Ling Yun hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "You are such a lovely person, aren't you jealous?"

Xuezhu bit her lip and smiled: "I am already a broken flower, Meng Xianggong will not give up, accept me, the eldest husband has three wives and four concubines, it is normal, find more people to serve you, isn't it also deserved?" She knew in her heart that even if she was unhappy, how could Ling Yun only marry herself, and besides, she was not a virgin, and it was hopeless to be a wife, so it was better to please him more, let herself be in charge of the treasury, and the wealth and power would be nourishing in her hands.

Zi Ruo on the side saw the intimate appearance of the two, and his heart was disgusted, his body turned to the side, and he said in his heart: "Even if you two are husband and wife, there are outsiders present, so intimate, it is really shameless." ”

Xuezhu came over with a smile, took her hand, smooth as clotted fat, and said, "Sister, how old are you this year?"

Ziruo broke away from her hand and said, "You have touched that stinky man's hand, don't touch me." ”

Xuezhu was not angry, smiled faintly, took her sleeve, and came to the inner compartment of the study, where there was a simple bed with a dark brown curtain.

Xuezhu lit the candle flame on the candlestick, looked at Ziruo's face, and said, "You are so young, you look like a child, you might as well tell me how you were tricked here by that stinky man?" When she mentioned "stinky man", she couldn't help but laugh, and secretly felt funny.

Ziruo saw that she was as gentle as water, and Ling Yun was not present, so she didn't continue to contradict her, and said: "I was originally a maidservant girl in the capital who spared her life, but because the Hou Mansion raided her house, I was exiled here, and I was tied up here by your stinky husband." She didn't want to mention the so-called official prostitutes, so she said it briefly.

Xuezhu said with pity: "From the capital to here, thousands of miles away, you are a woman, living here, needless to say the hardships along the way, to this strange place, lonely and miserable, really pitiful." Where are your relatives?"

Zi Ruo sighed and said, "My father and mother are dead, and I heard that there is an uncle, but now I don't know where to go, and I can't get in touch." She knew that her father and mother died for the previous dynasty, and she didn't have to be an outsider.

Xuezhu said: "Poor girl!" While speaking, she touched her head caressingly, Xuezhu since she entered the backyard of the county government, and her parents get together less and leave more, her parents are old and frail, and they can't take care of them.

Xuezhu said softly: "I am nineteen this year, how many years older than you, you are still young, if you don't want to follow the princess as a concubine, you might as well be a young lady in the house first, you have your own maid to serve you, you have money to get every month, so you have a place to stay, and when you are older, it is not too late to make plans." ”

Zi Ruo thought about it for a while, and said hatefully: "Follow you, I am willing to be a little maid, but I am upset when I see that stinky guy, and I don't want to look at him at a glance, let alone stay here to see him all day." ”

Xuezhu smiled: "I don't understand, why is he so unkind to you?

Ziruo's face flushed, and she said, "What are you talking nonsense, I'm still innocent, it's just ...... He has repeatedly taken advantage of people's dangers to be lighter than me, if it weren't for my willfulness...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”

She thought of jumping off the cliff on the mountain, which led to being caught, and felt remorseful, and thought of Hong Jingxiao sending someone to assassinate her, her heart was cold, and the chill rose from under her feet, and she said in her heart: "Maybe it was I who jumped off the cliff to escape, otherwise if I stayed on the mountain, even if I didn't kill me, I would have been heartbroken and died." Childe, why are you so ruthless, are you just afraid that I will confess the secret of your life in Shenlong Village, or is it that the ruthless bride who has already married in the church will let you kill my old love?"

Seeing that she didn't want to talk in detail, Xuezhu couldn't help but be reluctant, took out some broken silver from the cabinet at the head of the bed, which was enough for ten taels, handed it to Ziruo, and said, "Sister, as long as you listen to your sister in the future, there will be a lot of silver, you can take these broken silver and spend it first, if it is not enough, just take care of me." She saw that Ziruo was simply young, far from being like other wives and concubines she had come into contact with, and she had exhausted all her organs, and in the end she didn't lose Qingqing's life.

Ziruo was in the Hou Mansion, and the monthly silver was only two taels, and now he took this large handful of broken silver, and said happily: "Thank you, sister, it's just that this stinky guy is afraid that I will escape all day long, and I am afraid that he will not let me go to the street, and it is useless to have silver." ”

Xuezhu said: "Don't worry, the cat is mature, even if you run out for a day, you won't come back obediently at night, after you get acquainted with him, he will naturally rest assured of you." ”

Zi Ruoxin said: "When I get acquainted, I will find an opportunity, save some money to escape, and find a nunnery to shave my home." Ruthless second son, although you are ruthless to me, I can't fall in love with other men anymore, I just hope that in this life, the green lantern ancient Buddha will be accompanied by me, and I don't have to pay attention to the troubles of the world. ”
