"You're back here, that's enough."

Hearing his words, deep and hoarse, with a deep affection after years of tempering, if it was in the past, even if it was a year ago, maybe I would be moved.

But this time, I just kept my head down, smiled faintly, and looked up at him.

I said, "Pei Yuanxiu, do you know—"

He looked at me with a pale face.

Do you know that this house is not a Qionglou Yuyu to me, and the life I live here is not carefree, for people like me, glory, wealth and gentleness and thoughtfulness are given by others, not what I have pursued all my life.

It's easy for me to be content, but it's also hard to please.

Do you know, not only Xue Qian has two dreams but only achieved one, I also have two dreams, I have hoped that I would not grow up since I was a child, I wanted my parents to accompany me, and I wanted to always enjoy them on their knees, but this dream was shattered when I left Xichuan, so my second dream is to have my own home and accompany my beloved. And now, after Liu Qinghan suffered so much pain because of your poisoning, life and death are uncertain, and I am heartbroken to death, and the only consolation in my heart during that time is that I have "recovered" my mother, and I can accept Huan's knees.

But, you killed her!

Do you know that you and I have not been on the same road at all from the beginning, and you are trying to tie me to your side and tie me to this road.

I may not be able to destroy you, then I can only destroy this path.

……

At this moment, too many words, too many feelings came to my heart, but on his pale face, and even with a little eager expectation, I felt very powerless, probably already understood that it was useless to say anything, I shook my head, and then said lightly: "It's good if you're happy." ”

After speaking, he automatically walked inside.

My words did not express the ten-thousandth of the love that was surging in my heart, but he seemed to be deeply pierced into his heart by an invisible needle, and when I turned around, I could hear the sound of his breathing suddenly stagnating.

He said behind me, "Light—"

I stopped and looked back at him, and when he called out, he just stood in the doorway and looked at me without saying a word, as if he didn't know what else to say.

I hooked the corners of my lips, and then said lightly: "Since you have arrested me back, you still have to worry about food, clothing and housing." I don't eat much, but I still don't eat less; I like to be quiet, so please don't let too many people come in and disturb me; As for what I wear, it's good for ordinary people, and these have never been my concern. ”

I spoke lightly, but his brow furrowed more and more.

"Light ......"

"That's it."

After speaking, I held the door frame with both hands, and looked at him standing at the door, looking at me with solemn eyes, as if there were still a thousand words to say, and I didn't give him any more chance, and slowly closed the door.

After closing the door, I held the door with both hands and stopped for a while, only to hear the wind outside, and the bamboo forest shook even more, but I suddenly remembered something and hurriedly reached out to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he found that Pei Yuanxiu had not left at all, and was still standing at the door.

Obviously, he was standing outside the door, but as soon as the door opened, his dark and deep eyes lit up instead, as if the sun was in the room, and at this moment he seemed to be illuminated by the opening of the door, and his spirits were lifted to look at me with wide eyes: "Light-! ”

I said, "I have one more thing to ask you. ”

“……”

"Where's Nangong Lizhu?"

“――”

His face had been brightened with a little brightness, as if he were happy, but as soon as I asked this question, all the sunlight seemed to be obscured by dark clouds, and his pupils darkened.

And I looked at him: "She, isn't she here?" ”

“……”

"She's being locked up by you - where is she?"

“……”

"She should still be in Jinling, right?"

“……”

He remained silent and didn't speak, and after looking at me for a long time, he said dumbly: "You can even think of her." ”

"......" I was stunned.

But after this, he didn't say anything more, but his eyes were full of fatigue, as if he would be overwhelmed by something in the next moment, and said in a deep voice: "You can rest." ”

“……”

"I promise, I won't let her, let anyone bother you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

I frowned for a while, I wanted to ask something, but at this moment I also felt a little unanswerable, I just watched him slowly turn around and slowly walk into the bamboo forest along the path, and after a while, the figure disappeared in front of me.

I stood in the doorway and watched his figure disappear before slowly retreating into the room and closing the door.

Outside the door, except for the sound of the wind, there was silence.

|

By noon, it was starting to rain lightly.

In the past, my favorite thing to do was to sit at the head of the bed on a rainy day, or lie on the couch, cover myself with a thin blanket, hold a book, have a cup of tea and an incense burner in hand, and listen to the rustle of the drizzle falling on the bamboo leaves outside, which is probably the best enjoyment in the whole world.

But this time, I wasn't in the mood to enjoy it like that.

Although I was tired of traveling for so many days, my body and mind were already very tired, but I couldn't sleep, so I covered a blanket on my lap, and then sat on the head of the bed, calm on the surface, but my heart was like a lake in the rain, and thousands of thoughts rippled like little ripples.

I'm not betting to go back here with him in one go, but when I actually get to this place, it's still a lie to say that I don't regret it.

I don't want to let myself always fall into such a situation, Han Ruoshi is not an ant that can be pinched to death as soon as I reach out, although the matter of Xichuan has been ordered to be arranged before I leave, but the matter of Jinling is not something I can arrange.

There is so much to think about, even annoyances.

And one thing I hadn't taken into account before I came was the message in the letter of the Wonderful Words.

Now that I'm here, if I don't spend a little more money, it may be difficult to receive messages from outside, no matter how much I want to return to the magic words, or let the words come to me, it's very difficult.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help frowning even more.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

My thoughts were interrupted when the door creaked open, and I hurriedly looked up to see two young girls walking in from outside, carrying food boxes in their hands.

He's here to bring me food.

I couldn't help but frown again.

Although the words he said in front of Pei Yuanxiu before were just to remind him not to let Han Ruoshi come to me for trouble again, obviously he also understood what I meant, and did not let the lady who was in charge of all the affairs in his backyard be in charge of my affairs, but these two girls' footsteps were a little too light, and there was no sound in this inner courtyard, and I didn't even hear their footsteps.

It's like the same Mr. Xie Xie every time Xie Feng appeared at my door.

As soon as they entered, a wind with the smell of cold rain also blew in, blowing the curtain in the middle of the room and shaking, through the gap between the curtains, I saw them put the dishes on the table, looking at the food from a distance, not very extravagant, but the homely and hearty, but it made people a little appetizing.

After it was placed, the two of them didn't mean to say hello to me, so they hugged the food box and prepared to leave.

I hurriedly rolled over and got out of bed: "Wait a minute. ”

The two girls walked to the door, and as soon as they heard me call them, they stopped: "What else does Miss Yan command?" ”

I walked up to them, looked them up and down, and when I saw their faces, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

The two maidens, only seventeen or eighteen years old, were as beautiful as flowers, but on closer inspection they seemed to be a little different from those usually seen—the bridge of the nose was high and pointed, but the sockets were very deep, and the pupils of the eyes were lighter, and when they looked up at me, I had the feeling that they were looking at amber.

This kind of appearance - I am not very familiar with it, but it does not seem to be completely unfamiliar with it.

I don't think I've seen someone like this somewhere.

I asked, "Who are you?" Why haven't I seen you here? ”

She glanced at each other, and one of them said, "We were sent by the master to take care of Miss Yan." ”

"Master? Who is your master? ”

They blinked, and I immediately remembered the strength of my feet that I couldn't even hear when they walked in just now, and said, "That-Xie Feng, is your master?" ”

They nodded, "Yes." ”

“……”

After getting this answer, I quieted down, and the two of them looked at each other, and then asked me, "Does Miss Yan have any other instructions?" ”

“……”

"If not, we'll go."

“……”

With that, he turned around and walked out.

The door was closed in front of me again.

I stood in the doorway, listening to the sound of the rain outside, but I still couldn't hear the sound of footsteps, and I felt more and more shocked in my heart.

They turned out to be Xie Feng's apprentices, although I am not surprised that Pei Yuanxiu would let his people take care of me, after all, there are such people who can not only prevent me from escaping from Jinling before, but also ensure that I am not harassed by other people, it is indeed a double win, but I am still very surprised, they are Xie Feng's apprentices.

This person is really not simple.

Although he is working under Pei Yuanxiu, it is obvious that he still has his own power, and he should not be controlled by Pei Yuanxiu in a certain way, and even completely separated from Jinling Mansion, so Pei Yuanxiu can rest assured that his people will come to the inner courtyard to take care of me.

However, the appearance of these two girls-

I thought about it for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my head!
