Ruan Jiuwu only felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and before he knew what was happening, his body had already risen into the air, and his feet were off the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time as the loud bang hit, a strong arm was wrapped around her waist, her head was firmly protected by the palm of her hand, and her body was surrounded by a bitter cold.

It feels familiar.

Except in Ye Che's arms, there seems to be no place so cold and safe.

Ruan Jiuwu's phoenix eyes widened slightly, and sure enough, what caught her eye was an ink-colored brocade robe, and when she raised her head, she was met by an angry gaze, as if she was silently reprimanding her.

"Sir, you're bleeding!"

Han's exclamation came from behind him, Ruan Jiuwu's heart tightened, he didn't care about thinking, he pushed Ye Che away vigorously, and hurriedly looked around.

Ye Che frowned, didn't say a word, and didn't stop her.

Lin Qingyun half-squatted beside the stone pillar with his bleeding palm, his eyes full of shock. This man named Ye Che was obviously drinking tea with him at the stone table, but he was able to teleport and easily save Ruan Jiuwu, such a man who was like a ghost and had a cold temperament was absolutely unusual......

"Daddy...... Daddy? Ruan Jiuwu walked up to Lin Qingyun, looked at the bloodstained palm, and called cautiously.

Lin Qingyun quickly calmed down, glanced her up and down, and asked coldly, "Are you okay?" ”

She looked at the stone pillar beside her, then at the gravel on the ground, bit her lips, and shook her head gently, but her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Did Daddy get hurt because he was protecting her?

When the stone bead fell, she was rescued by Ye Che, but looking at the situation in front of her, it is not difficult to guess that her father also came over in time, but the speed was not as fast as Ye Che, and she was injured by the shattered gravel instead of saving her.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar father, she wanted to ask if he had forgiven herself and cared about herself, but she still didn't dare to speak.

After waiting for sixteen years and looking forward to sixteen years, her heart was already full of holes and overwhelmed. If she wasn't completely sure, she really didn't have the courage to listen to the negative answer.

……

Han Shi took the medicine box at this time, and was busy rummaging through the medicine bottles, studying how to give Lin Qingyun medicine.

"Let me do it." Ruan Jiuwu took a breath and said softly.

"Okay, okay." Han knew that she knew how to heal, so he hurriedly gave up his position.

Ruan Jiuwu carefully picked out the stone chips embedded in the palm of his hand with a silver skewer, wrapped the wound with a spinning cloth after applying the ointment, and advised: "Do not get wet before scabbing." ”

Lin Qingyun glanced at her deeply, disappreliant, and shouted: "Take care of your life in the future, don't die!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, and even Ye Che glanced at him sideways.

After that, Lin Qingyun picked up the boy who was already scared and walked out of Liuyun Yuan with a cold face. Han Shi looked at his back and stopped talking, but finally just sighed.

Ye Che stepped forward and picked up Ruan Jiuwu, who was stunned in place, and motioned to Han, "Let's leave first." ”

This was the first time Ye Che had spoken since entering Liuyun Yuan, his voice was low and piercing, his aura was not angry and arrogant, and it seemed that it was normal to obey him.

Han nodded in amazement and watched them leave.

**********

There was still a period of time before the banquet began, Ruan Jiuwu and Ye Che were walking on the remote path in the backyard, there were no guests nearby, and the occasional maid passing by just hurriedly saluted and rushed to the front yard to be busy.

"Do you remember what Hongu said?" Ye Che broke the silence.

“…… Which sentence? ”

Ruan Jiuwu was still thinking about Fang Cai's scene, and was dragged back to his thoughts by his words, but he couldn't think of what he was referring to for a while.

"You don't look at people by your eyes, you look at them with your heart."

"Oh, I remember that."

"Hmm."

Ruan Jiuwu seemed to understand or not, and looked at him for some reason, only to find that he had stopped and stared at the gray stone arch on the side.

"Yan Yuan?" Ye Che looked at the words carved on the arch and read it softly, as if he was talking to himself, as if he was asking her.

"Well, this is my former courtyard." She was also a little surprised, she didn't expect to come here unconsciously.

After a long silence, Ye Che turned around and stared at her with a deep gaze.

"Why the name?"

"The word 'Yan' is taken from the name of my mother, and my father said that this is the other courtyard where my mother lived before."

Ye Che's fingers behind his back were clenched tightly, his joints turned white, and he asked word by word without changing his face, "What's your mother's name?" ”

"Ruan Xiyan."

The three clear words spit out along Zhu's lips, and the surroundings immediately fell into a dead silence, Ye Che stared at her deadly, and there was a solemnity in his eyes that had never appeared before.

According to the information from Qingying's investigation, the old lady of his family has only one old friend in Gu Ancheng, whose name is Ji Yan, who is the last holy fox of the fox clan.

Yan Yan ...... Nguyen Ngan ...... There was only one word difference between the two names, and he didn't believe it was a coincidence.

If it weren't for the coincidence, these fragmented clues in recent days could be connected.

Recalling the scene of their first meeting in the bamboo forest, her red eyes that could decipher illusions deepened the speculation in his mind......

"What's wrong?" Ruan Jiuwu was a little flustered by staring, brushed her hair and sideburns, and asked uncomfortably.

"Nothing, go in and see." As he spoke, Ye Che raised his feet and stepped into Yan Yuan.

She answered, and followed suspiciously.

The style and structure in Yan Yuan are slightly different from other courtyards in Lin Mansion.

After entering the hospital, I stepped on a winding stone path, and the magnolia trees were planted one after another on both sides of the road.

Crossing the path, you will see a two-story pavilion, which has been uninhabited for a long time, and the doors and windows are closed at this time, and even the stone steps in front of the door are covered with a thick layer of dust.

"How much do you know about your mother?" Ye Che asked casually after looking around.

"I don't understand at all, my father doesn't like my mother to be mentioned." Ruan Jiuwu paused, "However, in my heart, Niang is the most beautiful woman in the world. ”

"Does your mother have any other family?"

"I haven't heard my dad mention it." Ruan Jiuwu frowned and asked suspiciously, "What are you asking these for?" ”

"Nothing." Ye Che's expression was calm, "It's just that I see that you miss your mother so much, if you have other family members, you can still visit it." ”

It turned out that he was caring about himself, and a warmth welled up in his heart, and all doubts disappeared in an instant.

She paced in front of him, the big red light shirt on the outside of Luo's skirt was blown by the wind, and softly covered the inky brocade robe, just like her budding emotions, quietly wrapped around the man in front of her.

"Yeche, thank you."

"Why thank me?"

"For your protection again and again, for your casual care, and even more ...... You still haven't taken my soul away. ”

"You know I'm going to take your soul?"

Ye Che couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, it seemed that he still underestimated the delicacy of her thoughts.

Ruan Jiuwu didn't deny it, just smiled slightly, her phoenix eyes were soft and charming, and her expression was tranquil, like a rose under the first sunny day after the rain, extremely enchanting, but glamorous and vulgar.

At this time, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums in the distance, and then there was a burst of boiling firecrackers, which could be heard clearly even in this remote courtyard.

"At this time, the rules of the Lin Mansion mean that the birthday banquet is about to start, let's go to the front yard too." Ruan Jiuwu explained with a smile, cleverly ending the topic just now.

With that, she turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Ye Che looked at the slender back in front of him, his sword eyebrows frowned, the ink color of his cold eyes deepened suddenly, and his heart, which had been silent for hundreds of years, suddenly beat abnormally-

At that moment, he was attracted by this woman's smile.
