11. Fool (catching insects)

Xuanyuan Luo couldn't help but reach out and touch his nose, "It's okay." Then he carefully advised: "In this case, it is not safe for you to live in this summer mansion...... But you can't leave the house before you get there, so you have to be careful yourself. ”

Xia Yao, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the courtiers will protect themselves." ”

Xuanyuan Luo thought about it again and again, but still felt uneasy, he summoned the maid who had been silent and sat with the coachman before, "This is Huang Ming, her hands and feet are good, if Miss Xia doesn't mind, I'll give her to you, okay?" ”

Xia Yao looked embarrassed and waved her hand again and again, "This is His Royal Highness's person, how can a courtier take advantage of others." "The most important thing is to leave a person around the Fifth Highness, in case she is exposed somewhere, how can it be good.

Xuanyuan Luo didn't know what she was thinking, and frowned, "What my people?" Just use it. He was a little uncomfortable because of the discrepancy in Xia Yao's words, "Later, I will ask someone to bring her deed of sale, and she will be your person in the future." ”

When she heard the deed of sale, she breathed a sigh of relief, at least not to arrange spies for her. The smile on Xia Yao's face became two points sincere, "That courtier, thank you here, Your Highness." ”

Everyone's spirit can be expressed in her subtle expressions, Xuanyuan Luo sensitively felt Xia Yao's good mood, and he couldn't help but smile, "It's just a small thing." ”

The two chatted carefully for a while, and Xia Yao walked out of the carriage with Huang Ming.

Lu'er, who had been waiting outside the carriage, immediately followed when she saw her master come out.

And it wasn't until Xia Yao's figure completely disappeared that the carriage of the Fifth Highness turned around and left.

It's night.

Xia Yao couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on the bed, and Huang Ming's deed of betrayal, Xuanyuan Luo, called someone to send it over that night.

She originally only had the intention of using Xuanyuan Luo, but now that she was treated sincerely by him, Xia Yao inevitably felt guilty. And...... Thinking of what Xuanyuan Luo said during the day, she was even more irritable and didn't know how to choose.

It turned out that Xuanyuan Luo not only investigated the process of Xia Yao and Xuanyuan Che's acquaintance clearly, but also arrested the murderer who framed her at the beginning, as long as Xia Yao was willing, Xia Li could be ruined.

The so-called marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, a woman who dares to hire someone to frame her sister-in-law, that family still dares to ask for her?

Xia Yao was just an ordinary woman in her last life, and she has always pursued the principle that more is better than less. If she and Xia Li completely turn their faces, it is inevitable that Xia Li will not do anything crazy.

But...... She flipped over like this, but she felt like she couldn't swallow that breath.

In the midst of exposing or not exposing, Xia Yao spent this hot night tangled.

When Xia Yao got up the next day, two black circles under her eyes hung like this. After eating breakfast, she wanted to fall into bed again, but was pulled back by Lu'er.

Lu'er pouted and said unhappily: "Miss, why did Madame call you over?" ”

"Call me?" Xia Yao suddenly came to her senses, "What did she tell me to do?" "Xia Yao hasn't seen the Zhou family a few times since he crossed over, and this sudden summons must not be a good thing.

Lu'er wringed her handkerchief in both hands, "I asked the servant girl who passed the message, but she didn't say anything. ”

Xia Yao had to change her clothes and walk towards Zhou's house with Lu'er and Huang Ming. When Xia Yao arrived, Zhou was sitting alone on the main seat, and as soon as he saw Xia Yao appear, he eagerly took her hand and greeted her with all kinds of thoughtful greetings.

Xia Yao's smiling face froze, and she kept saying 'um' and 'oh'.

As soon as Zhou saw her obedient appearance, he kept hinting that Xia Yao should take Xia Li with her when she went out to see the prince and help her build a bridge. Xia Yao secretly rolled her eyes, but she had always been obedient and obedient on her face, and even the smile on the corner of her mouth was always the same.

At noon, Zhou also enthusiastically invited Xia Yao to have lunch with her.

was firmly rejected by Xia Yao, joke! If she stays here, she will have a psychological shadow.

The sun was scorching at noon, Huang Ming was holding an umbrella for Xia Yao behind her, Lu'er couldn't help but glare at Huang Ming, this was originally her job, but now she was robbed, and she was suddenly a little unhappy.

While passing by the garden, Xia Yao faintly heard Xia Li's angry scolding. She was indifferent, and she didn't have a good impression of the people in this house, and she didn't want to deal with it, but the voice kept reaching her ears.

"You're not a good thing, like that slut...... She's going to be a princess, and you'll only be beaten stupidly here for the rest of your life, and you won't even be able to get a daughter-in-law......"

Hearing this, Xia Yao suddenly stopped in place, Xia Li's delicate voice came from time to time, and the vicious words made people unimaginable that they came out of the mouth of a girl who was less than sixteen.

"Let's go." Xia Yao secretly glanced at Huang Ming, who was following her, "Let's take a look." ”

The gravel-paved path is hot from the sun, and the thin embroidered shoes seem to be able to reach the bottom of people's hearts. Crossing a small pond, behind a rockery, Xia Yao saw Xia Lizheng pointing at a man and scolding angrily.

The man who was forced to kneel on the ground by the manservant was covered with dust, making the already shabby gray-black clothes even more ugly.

From Xia Yao's point of view, you can only see the man's side face, which is extremely good-looking, with a straight nose, a fair face, and a tear mole under the corner of his eye, to a handsome young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.

At this time, the young man was pursing his lips and lowering his eyes, not knowing what he was holding in his arms. Even if he knelt humbly, his dirty clothes could not hide his natural luxury.

As if he had noticed that someone was watching him, the young man looked up left and right, and suddenly found Xia Yao standing on the side.

I saw that the young man's eyes lit up, and he showed a silly smile towards Xia Yao, and his mouth kept screaming "ahhh

Xia Yao's face was full of puzzlement, but she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

The young man saw Xia Yao standing not far away, but he just refused to come, so he immediately became agitated, and waved away the manservant who was panicked because of Xia Yao's arrival.

He quickly ran to Xia Yao with the things in his arms, and raised the waxy yellow oiled paper in his hand in front of Xia Yao with a look of offering treasures. The oiled paper is not tightly wrapped, and pale yellow pastry residues are scattered from the corners.

Xia Yao waved away Lu'er and Huang Ming who were about to block in front of her, as soon as she saw this young man, she felt a faint pain in her heart, slowed down her tone, Xia Yao asked carefully, "Is this ...... Is it for me? ”

The young man frowned and thought for a while, only then did he understand what she said, showed a big smile, and lifted the dim sum closer to Xia Yao. The phrase kept repeating in his mouth, "Eat...... Eat...... Sister...... Sister...... Eat ......"

A sentence of sister made Xia Yao feel an indescribable sadness from the bottom of her heart, it came so suddenly, Xia Yao couldn't control herself at all, and burst into tears in an instant.

She felt as if she had been split into two people, one looking at the weeping woman below from a high God's perspective, and the other with sorrow as she took the snack from the man's hand.

The waxy yellow oiled paper was fully opened, revealing the full extent of the pastry with a faint scent of osmanthus flowers, and it was only a small pile of dim sum about the size of a thumb.

"Sister...... Sister......... No...... Don't ......" The more anxious the poor boy became, the more speechless he became.

"I didn't ...... thing. Xia Yao couldn't cry herself, put the snack in her hand into her mouth tremblingly, cried and laughed: "The taste is ...... It's great. ”

The young man showed a surprised smile when he heard this, and in an instant, he collapsed again, he stretched out his hand to touch Xia Yao, but was slapped away by Lu'er on the side.

He had no choice but to withdraw his hand and stand anxiously to the side.

Lu'er glared at the panicked young man viciously, and then took out a handkerchief and kept wiping her tears for Xia Yao, "Don't cry!" Miss, how are you ...... How did these tears fall? ”

Xia Yao was already crying out of breath, and when she saw Lu'er, she cried even more sadly, she hugged Lu'er and kept shouting, "Lu'er...... Lu'er ......" cried blood.

The past is a dream, yesterday and today are empty.

Countless voices, countless pictures kept flashing in her mind, the past, the future.

Xia Yao knew that this belonged to another 'Xia Yao'.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a minute, maybe ten minutes. Xia Yao's brain was constantly receiving all kinds of memories, like a taut string.

The chord grew longer and longer, and at last it couldn't bear it anymore - it broke with a 'boom'.

Xia Yao's head sank and she fainted.
