Chapter 338: Mercy and Joy?
The bottom of her heart is slightly sour, like eating an unripe sour jujube, bitter and astringent, her lips and teeth touch but she can't say anything, Xiao Xue looked at Situ Zhaojing's bright eyes, where is that nervous and flustered like a generation of emperors? But now he is so real, as if the handsome big boy overlapped with the person in front of him, and a moment of confusion made her forget her reaction.
Situ Zhaoli ignored the wound on his lips, and carefully wiped Xiao Xue's forehead as clean as ever, until there was no trace of red on it, and he smiled happily when it was like a jade.
"Well, if it's clean, Xiaoxue's face should be flawless, how can it be dirty?"
As he spoke, a hot breath sprayed on Xiao Xue's face, a strong manhood, clean and refreshing smell mixed with a unique musky fragrance, adding a noble and charming, Xiao Xue looked at the pity and seriousness in his eyes, suddenly his heart twitched, slightly turned his head, separated the distance between them, Situ Zhao paused, his eyes darkened, quietly withdrew the handkerchief, and held it tightly in his hand.
Neither of the two of them spoke, the atmosphere was calm for a while, Situ Zhao sat next to Xiao Xue, the two of them were next to each other, although it was the height of summer, but the wind in the middle of the night was still slightly cool, Situ Zhao took off the robe on his body and draped it on Xiao Xue's body, the bright yellow color was loosely on her body, and her palm-sized little face was even more beautiful, Situ Zhao looked at her attentively, and muttered: "How nice it would be if I had always taken you with me......"
Xiao Xue's body trembled slightly, raised his head to meet his somewhat misty gaze, that handsome face had a lot more wind and frost, the lines were much more resolute and domineering than at that time, a kind of kingly momentum was faintly emanating from his bones, Xiao Xue's eyes drooped, and he took out the jade pendant he gave him at that time from his arms, and sighed secretly, but said in a brisk tone:
"Whoa! Give back this little snake to you, ugly. β
Situ Zhao's eyes, which were originally a little dreamy, instantly returned to their places, and shouted angrily: "What a little snake! It's a dragon! Dragons, you know no! Where is it ugly? Yes! Where is ugly! He was furious, his eyes were spewing fire, but a hint of panic flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Xiao Xue pursed her lips and made a disgusted look, "It's already ugly, if you don't carve, you can buy some money for this condition, but after your destruction, it's worthless, let's give it to my future sister-in-law!" β
Situ Zhao was so shocked by her four words that he couldn't speak, his fists clenched instantly, and even his angry appearance was a little still, future sister-in-law?!
Is that all she wants to push him out?
Xiao Xue also tried to maintain her superficial relaxation, and continued indifferently: "Yes, such an ugly thing is my future sister-in-law will not dislike it, by the way, I said muscular man, I went out two days ago and found that you are very popular, from eighty to eight years old on the street, they are all your fans, you are good!" Keep it up, I hope you can become the dream lover of the whole continent after I come back from the Heavenly Demon Sea! β
Situ Zhao muttered as if his soul had been drained of him: "Does it include you?" β
Xiao Xue was also immersed in her own thoughts, forcing a smile, and he didn't hear clearly in a very small voice, "What did you say?" β
"No, nothing? You say, you're going to the Heavenly Demon Sea? β
"Well, I'm going to my father."
There was a silence, Situ Zhao also knew about it, this was a gap between them, he had been evading, but he had to face it no matter how long he delayed, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and he was a little caught off guard.
"I ...... I'll send an army with you. β
Xiao Xue glanced at him in disbelief, army? Boss, you're not kidding, are you? But the seriousness in his eyes let Xiao Xue know that he was definitely not just talking!
The army, that is the foundation of Condea, he actually sent it out without hesitation, once the strength of the army is divided, then his pressure will increase a lot, not only to worry about other countries taking advantage of the fire, but also his big plan can not be carried out smoothly, and thinking of these, Xiao Xue felt a little more guilty in his heart.
"No, this is not a siege of the city, what do you want the army to do? I am listening to the news to save people, but it is not easy to perform when there are too many people. β
"Then I'll send four guards to follow you."
The four guards are his personal guards who stopped Xiao Han just now, this is the most powerful master that Situ Zhao can come up with, Xiao Xue smiled, very warm, and shook his head gently: "I really don't need to, I can protect myself, believe me!" And if I can't deal with someone myself, the four guards can't stop it. β
Situ Zhao was very frustrated, but he also knew that what she said was the truth, it was really shocking, he was the lord of a country, he had never felt so powerless, and suddenly felt that the arrogance accumulated in the past two years had returned to its original form at this moment.
Xiao Xue stood up and handed the jade pendant in his hand to him, Situ Zhao stuffed it back as if it was hot, a little annoyed.
"It's for you, it's for you! If you're not rare, throw it away! Anyway, I won't give it to anyone, I know that you have the ability and strength now, the Xiao family is rich and rivals the country, you don't look down on this money, but you don't like to use it, this is my Condia's treasury, if you want to transfer it to someone else, you can trap me and never recover! It's up to you! β
After Situ Zhao finished speaking, he didn't look at Xiao Xue, ran out of the pavilion, and fled in a disordered manner. Xiao Xue stood there, stunned for a while, watching his voice disappear from sight, the jade pendant in his hand suddenly became very heavy, it turned out that this was a token of Condea's treasury, and he actually gave her such an important thing! His last sentence made her not dare to dispose of this jade pendant at will, she originally wanted to quietly put it here or find someone to send it back, but now she didn't dare to do anything, like he said, this thing is too important, all she can do is keep it well.
Looking at the front and standing silently for a while, the warmth on the golden robe gradually disappeared, Xiao Xue brought the jade pendant in her hand back to her neck, and glanced at the direction of Situ Zhao's departure again before she slowly turned around and walked in the opposite direction, leaving a sentence in the air: "Brother Zhao, take care, I wish you ...... Happiness ......"
And under a big tree not far away, a figure came out from behind, looking at Xiao Xue's figure in the arms of the night, in a daze for a long time, the look in his eyes was complicated like a mess, Brother Zhao, is her position in his heart his brother? But why can't he be a brother like Xiao Han, protect her unscrupulously, and embrace her openly! Can he, the elder brother, only stand silently on the side and firmly guard his heart?!
Happiness? Hehe, you're gone, where is my happiness......
All the YiqiΔ returned to calm, including Xiao Xue and Xiao Han, including Situ Zhao, including the five young ladies of the Xiao family...... or waiting or helpless, or disappointed or expecting, I'm afraid I can't tell.
"Brother, let's go to grandpa in a while and ask about my father, let's leave in the next two days."
"Okay." Xiao Han never had any objection to Xiao Xue's decision, the two of them came to Xiao Tianmin's courtyard after breakfast, and before they entered the door, they heard hearty laughter and a coquettish exclamation inside, Xiao Xue pouted, what kind of mercy is really favored by grandpa, coughed lightly, Xiao Xue and Shi Shiran walked in, and the little maids in the courtyard saw that it was them, and they didn't stop it at all.
"Grandpa, I want to go to the ancestral hall to have a look."
Where is her father's fate, she wants to see if she can find anything else.
Xiao Tianmin ate a honey date that had been dialed by Lianxiang into his mouth and signaled that she didn't want it, and smiled very kindly at Xiao Xue and the others: "Okay, have you eaten?" β
"I've eaten, if grandpa eats well, let's leave now."
"Good!"
Xiao Tianmin responded very happily, and then was about to get up, but who knew that Lian Xiang pulled his sleeve and said with a moving smile: "Patriarch, you have been short of qi and blood recently, so let's eat two dates and then go, it's not bad for a while." β
Xiao Xue's eyes shot at her like electricity, and Lian Xiang turned a blind eye, still looking like an empathetic interpreter.
"Hehe, okay, then ......" Xiao Tianmin just wanted to agree, but Xiao Xue suddenly interjected: "Grandpa, eating such a sweet and greasy thing in the morning will not be digested well, why don't we come back and eat it after a while." β
"Uh...... Good. β
Xiao Tianmin paused, not impressed by Xiao Xue's rudeness, and then patted Lianxiang's hand and said, "Xiaoxue is right, let's eat later, I'm already full for breakfast." β
The muscles on Lianxiang's face tightened, but then she smiled coquettishly, "Okay, then patriarch, you go early and come back early, I'll wait for you here after I peel it, you can eat it directly when you come back." β
"Well, it's still sensible." Xiao Tianmin smiled approvingly, looked up and smiled at Xiao Xue and the others: "Let's go, it just so happens that grandpa also wants to go over and have a look today, I haven't talked to your grandma for a long time." β
Xiao Tianmin said very calmly, his love for their grandmother is the most sincere and deepest, although he now has a steproom and two concubines, but they are just passers-by in his life, just like now he loves Lianxiang because she is pitiful and knows how to advance and retreat, never asks too much, and he can get a young enjoyment from her, but this has nothing to do with love.
Xiao Xue's face looked a lot better, I don't know why she just looked at this woman unpleasantly, and always felt that her eyes looking at her behind her back were full of calculation.
Xiao Tianmin got up and walked over to Xiao Xue, Lian Xiang got up to make way, and stood there like a bright rose, but as soon as Xiao Tianmin passed in front of her, Lian Xiang fell to the ground with a cry of surprise, and let out a painful exhale, Xiao Tianmin hurriedly turned around, and the girl next to Lian Xiang nervously helped her up, and asked repeatedly: "Madam, what's wrong with you?!" β
Lianxiang held her ankles, big drops of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her face turned pale, as if she was in great pain.
"I didn't ...... It's okay...... Hiss-"
Before he finished speaking, he gasped, his face was already like paper, Xiao Tianmin hurriedly said, "How did you get this?" Why did you fall down in a good way, go and get a doctor! β
One of the little girls hurriedly answered, and ran out quickly, Xiao Tianmin carried her into the house, Xiao Xue looked at this scene coldly, what the hell is this woman doing? Why did she do everything possible to keep her grandfather here? She didn't believe her nonsense, what was wrong? Hmph, she's a third-level martial artist, although the level is very low, but she won't fall and get injured casually! Warrior, how can you be so weak?! The place where she was standing just now was a flat bottom, without any potholes, and she could fall down if she stood upright?! Could it be an earthquake?!
Hum! She wanted to see what she was up to!
Xiao Xue and her brother looked at each other, and the two of them also entered the room, Xiao Tianmin had already put Lian Xiang on the bed, and Lian Xiang looked at Xiao Xue who came in and said in pain: "Patriarch, you better go to the ancestral hall first, I'm fine...... Ahh
Xiao Tianmin said reproachfully: "You can see that it hurts like this, it may be that it hurts the bones, this must be treated quickly, don't leave the trouble, it's the same if you go to the ancestral hall for a while, okay Xiaoxue?" β
Xiao Tianmin first comforted Lianxiang, and then turned back to Xiao Xue apologetically and asked, he loves this granddaughter and grandson from the bottom of his heart, so he is also extremely tolerant of them, Xiao Xue nodded, "Grandpa is busy first, let's wait for a while." β
After speaking, he sat down and leisurely poured himself and his brother a cup of tea, since you are going to act, then I will take a good look.
It didn't take much effort, and the girl who ran out came in with an old man, and the old man saw Xiao Tianmin first saluted, and then calmly checked Lianxiang's injuries and gave her a pulse.
In just a few minutes, the old man checked it and saluted Xiao Tianmin: "Patriarch, Mrs. Lianxiang's foot is sprained, and it didn't hurt the bones, but the periosteum is damaged, and it will be no big problem for me to take some pills in a while, but her pulse is a happy pulse, and the old man congratulates the patriarch!" β
The status of the Xiao family, as well as the favored Cheng DΓΉ of Lianxiang, the old doctor directly configured the pill, which is unimaginable to ordinary people outside, in their eyes, the pills are used to save lives, and in such a big family, bruises and injuries are all used pills!
?β Joy?! β
Xiao Tianmin's face was a little strange, but it disappeared quickly, and then a happy face, looking at Lian Xiang couldn't help but say yes, that was very happy, Xiao Xue also put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Xiao Tianmin Although he was very excited, he withdrew his hand to touch Lian Xiang, and the shyness on Lian Xiang's face was overjoyed, her eyes rolled, she stood up and walked to the bed as if she had a pulse to take a look, just when Xiao Xue's hand was about to fall on Lian Xiang's wrist, a guard hurriedly ran in outside, shouting while running!
"Patriarch! Patriarch! Oh no! The ancestral hall is on fire! βγ
