My face changed suddenly, and I looked straight at him: "Where is he?"

This time, it was she who quieted down and looked at me calmly.

“……”

I still wanted to ask, but when I looked up at her, I immediately understood, Yan Ruoyu smiled and said, "Cousin, if I sue you, then this is a vote, right, am I already in the game?"

I thought for a moment and said, "Your surname is Yan, when the old lady invited you to come, and you decided to come, you were in this bureau." ”

"You know that's not what I'm talking about," she said. ”

“……”

"I'm going to enter your bureau. ”

“……”

"I'm going to be in alliance with you!"

I laughed a little, and then said, "Well, I don't think so." ”

Her face changed, and I looked into her eyes and said solemnly: "You also know that the major events we are planning now are related to the future pattern of the world, and also related to the future of Xichuan, this is not a business." In business, I will look for people with the same interests, but in this situation, the allies I am looking for must be the same faith. ”

“……”

"Obviously, what you're doing has nothing to do with my beliefs, you're just trying to achieve your own interests. ”

“……”

"If, if they find out about your actions, if they tempt you with the benefits you want, you, an ally, will become my most terrible enemy. ”

When she heard this, she immediately laughed: "The benefit I want the most, isn't that the position of the head of my family? I can't get it after all these years of hard work, will my grandfather give me this position for this matter?"

I looked at her with a smile and didn't answer her question right away.

And she herself, as if aware of something, looked at me with a solemn gaze.

I said lightly: "Nothing can bring greater destruction than war, and nothing can bring greater benefits than war, compared to those, the position of the head of your family is not worth mentioning at all." ”

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at me deeply: "That cousin, what benefits will you get from this matter?"

I chuckled, "I don't get any benefit, and more likely, I'll spend him, the one I have in my hand now, in this matter." ”

She frowned, "Then why do you want to do it?"

I thought about it for a moment and said, "In this world, there are always some things that are a little bit more important than interests. ”

“……”

"There are always some people who will give up their interests for these things. ”

“……”

She was silent, looking at me with a more solemn expression.

I smiled and said, "Ruoyu, I understand your current mood, but the two of us are not suitable for an alliance, and you are not suitable for you to participate in this matter." You have to tie your own success or failure to mine, that's fine, but when it comes to cooperation and alliance, I think it's better to forget it. ”

She was silent for a long time, I thought she would be a little annoyed, unwilling to love, but after a while, she suddenly lowered her head again to continue embroidering the flowers in her hand, I watched her a few stitches down, the folds of her eyebrows slowly unfolded, she raised her head to look at me, and said softly: "Cousin, I understand what you mean." ”

I smiled.

"But cousin," she continued, "even if business is for profit, in fact, business is also about faithfulness." ”

“……”

"Over the years, I've understood this. ”

This time, I looked at her with some surprise, but I saw her slowly put away the embroidery work in her hand, and then raised her head and said to me: "However, I also understand how important this matter is to you, cousin, you don't want others to interfere, and I also understand your intentions." ”

“……”

She stood up, carrying the cloth bag in her hand, and the same as when she came, she looked well-behaved and tame, and no one could imagine what she had just said to me, and she did not leave immediately, but walked around the table, leaned down and whispered in my ear: "Cousin, the reason why you can't find out the whereabouts of that person is because last night, we went and came." ”

“……！”

I shook, looked at her with wide eyes and stunned, and she was already smiling and straightening up, nodding at me, and then turning and walking out.

The door was opened and closed, and the night breeze outside, already carrying the coolness of early autumn, poured into the room at once, and blew me into the house.

One goes, one comes.

Could it be that Pei Yuan repaired him-

|

This night, I really kept my eyes open and couldn't close them, just looking at the dark sky outside, the candle in the room finally burned to the end in the middle of the night, and the light slowly became faint, and then went out.

I lay in the dark, but my heart became clearer.

However, while worrying about those things, I couldn't help but think of Yan Ruoyu.

This little woman is really a bit surprising.

has such a demure and gentle appearance, even softer and more deceitful than I look, but I never imagined that there is such a strong heart hidden in that delicate body, but what will happen to her future?

How difficult it is for a woman to get power from a man's world, just like at this moment, even if I try my best, even if I let go of the past, but I want to fight with Pei Yuanxiu - I find that I have no certainty of victory.

With that in mind, I turned my head again and looked at the table on the other side of the room.

The candlestick on the table had been extinguished, and the whole room was dark, just like last night, when he grabbed my hand and extinguished the candle flame.

Who knows, at that time, what he thought?

I lay quietly on the bed, but the more cold the night was, the more tormented my heart became, as if there was a small fire burning, and finally I couldn't hold back and turned over, pulled a piece of clothing from the hanger, put it on, pushed the door and walked out.

Outside, it was pitch black.

I knew that this time was before dawn, that is, at the darkest hour, only the faint light of the lanterns under the eaves of the distant and near eaves reflected my way, and I did not light the candlestick, but by this light, according to the vague memory of the night slowly walked forward.

After a while, I walked outside a courtyard.

It was very quiet, and through the gate of the guò courtyard, I could see at a glance that the room was brightly lit, and the candles on the table reflected the quiet silhouette of a person, projected on the window.

It was like a sleepless night.

I stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and immediately a very tired voice came from inside: "Who?"

I said softly, "Old lady, it's me." ”

The people inside paused for a moment, obviously unable to believe it, and after a while, they heard her voice, which seemed to be already uplifted, and seemed much more energetic than just now: "What are you doing here?"

"I have something to tell you. ”

“……”

There was silence again, and then I heard footsteps.

The door was opened, and as soon as I looked up, I saw Xue Qian standing at the door in a very thin casual coat, her face was tired from sleepless nights, and the corners of her eyes were a little red, but when she saw me, she immediately made her eyes cold and sharp.

I saluted her, "Old lady." ”

She frowned: "If you don't sleep so late, what do you have to say?"

As soon as I was about to speak, I felt a gust of wind blowing, and it was already autumn at this time, although there was still summer heat during the day, but at night, the coolness was a little unconcealable, and I immediately couldn't hold back and covered my nose and sneezed, and when she saw me like this, her brows furrowed even tighter, with a disgusted expression.

She took a step back: "Come in, look at the way you look!"

I hurried inside.

The door was closed behind me, and the natural cool breeze was quickly shut out.

But I felt that the smell in the room was not much warmer than outside.

I looked up and looked around—it was the first time I had entered her room, and it was a deep feeling of a courtyard, it was so quiet that I could hardly hear anything except the wind and my breathing, but the room was very gorgeous, with all kinds of furnishings, not only all, but even a little much, and the set of five vases on the table in front of me was dazzling and dazzling.

There are also jade, screens, incense burners......

Not only is it very extravagant, but it has a feeling of crowding.

But this room has an indescribable coldness, and between these gorgeous furnishings, it is like a spicy irony.

I looked at the room and was speechless for a moment.

And Xue Qian had already walked across from me, her eyes were as cold as the breath in this room, and she looked at me with a frown: "If you have anything to say, say it." ”

I didn't say what I wanted to say immediately, but turned my head to look at her: "Old lady, why don't you sleep so late?"

"You care?"

“…… Madame is old, and staying up late like this is not good for her body. ”

“……”

"It's better to get some rest. ”

This time, she seemed to be a little caught off guard, she didn't expect me to tell her this, as if she didn't know what to say, she looked at me with a complicated expression for a while, and then said stiffly: "It's just that I'm old, so I can't sleep." ”

“……”

"The rest of the time, I am reluctant to sleep. ”

I was stunned, I didn't expect her to tell me this, I was a little dazed, her eyes immediately turned cold again, and she looked at me coldly: "What are you going to say, after speaking, hurry back to sleep with you." ”

I looked at her, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I can't sleep either, there are some things, I still want to sue you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Old lady, have you already formed an alliance with Pei Yuanxiu?"

“……”

"I don't think it's just this time, when I brought him back before, the two of you already had such a plan, right?"

She didn't look at me, and said coldly: "Since you know, why are you still asking this?"

I took a deep breath and said, "What I want to tell Old Madam is that he is not the son of Yao Lao. ”
