Chapter Seventy-Eight: Provocation
[Ran^Text^Library] []"After Qingluo returned home, he went to receive the punishment himself, twenty boards. Xiao Jue's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he didn't look back, his voice was not salty or light, but it made people tremble.
Qing Shen lowered his head and responded in a low voice: "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
Qiu Shuiman knew that Xiao Jue was really angry, but she was the one who proposed to leave the house, how could she let Qing Fall go to receive the punishment? Qiu Shui walked over in a few steps, his face anxious: "Xiao Jue, it's mine, don't punish Qingshen." ”
Xiao Jue's gaze fell on her faintly, and when he saw her holding the scroll in his arms, he asked in a deep voice, "What is that thing in your hand?" ”
Qiu Shuiman shook the thing in his hand and hid it behind him. "If you promise me not to punish Qingshen, I will sue you for what is this." Qiu Shuiman was a little angry, but he was not afraid of Xiao Jue's anger and anger.
"Qiushuiman, you still dare to talk to me about the conditions. Qing Fall, go back and get a penalty of fifty boards. Xiao Jue's eyes sank, but it increased the punishment of Qing Fall.
Qing Shen's little face twisted together, and he lowered his head aggrievedly and said yes.
Qiu Shuiman was suddenly angry, stomped his feet angrily, pointed at Xiao Jue with one hand on his waist and said, "Xiao Jue, you are simply too much." You think it's great if you are the prince, you have to know that everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low, why should you punish Qingshen. ”
Hearing this, Qingluo was moved and scared in her heart, she hurriedly ran over and pulled Qiu Shuiman's arm and pleaded: "The slave and maid thank the princess for interceding, but this matter is indeed the slave and maid did wrong, and the princess should not blame the prince." Qingshen is willing to be punished. ”
Saying that Qingluo wanted to kneel, she didn't want to let the prince and the princess quarrel again because of herself. Qiushui hurriedly helped her up, and she looked a little hated that iron was not made of steel.
Qiu Shuiman raised his head and glared at Xiao Jue fiercely, threw the scroll in his hand towards Xiao Jue, and said angrily: "If you want to punish me, you stingy and domineering man, nasty ghost!" ”
She was so angry that she pulled the green pendant and left. Xiao Jue took the scroll and opened it, the portrait inside was actually his, he was shocked, put away the scroll, and hurried in the direction of Qiu Shui Man's departure.
Qiushui walked angrily, Qing Fall followed behind with fear, but before she heard a clear sound, she saw Xiao Jue's figure chasing after her.
Xiao Jue grabbed Qiu Shuiman's arm, and turned her against the wall on the side. Qing Shen covered his mouth and watched Xiao Jue's movements, his eyes lit up, this posture was really handsome.
"If you don't leave, this king will really punish you." Xiao Jue didn't look back, but the cold voice was said to Qing Fall.
Qing Fall was smart, turned around and hurried away towards them.
Qiushui blinked, looking at Xiao Jue who was close at hand, Fang Cai's anger had not yet dissipated, but this time her heart was beating very restlessly.
He looked at her with burning eyes, as if he wanted to imprint her in the bottom of his heart. "Why are you buying my portrait?" His tone was gentle, and he completely lost his anger.
The autumn water drooped his eyelids, the eyelashes fell like a fan, and the delicate facial features still had the redness that had not disappeared, so he looked like a wronged child, which was particularly pitiful and even more beautiful.
"I just thought that if you weren't by my side in the future, I could look at your portrait and talk about it." Her voice was silent, as cool as the murmuring of a stream.
Xiao Jue was frowning, and then roared angrily: "Autumn water." He was obviously angry, not for anything else, but for her sentence that you will not be by my side in the future.
But he couldn't get angry, and he felt a feeling of sullenness in his heart. He suddenly took her in his arms, his voice a little helpless and mocking.
"Qiushuiman, I'm not by your side, where will it be? You are not allowed to say such words in the future, you can hear me clearly, and I will never leave you in this life. He closed his eyes, resisting the fog for no reason, and she always made him hate, love, and cherish, and this feeling tormented him all the time.
Qiu Shuiman's eyes were astringent, and she didn't understand why she wanted to buy his portrait, and there was always a faint uneasiness in her heart, inexplicably, she always felt that he would leave her, but she didn't dare to sue him.
And now listening to his love words, she is moved. Maybe she thought too much, how could Xiao Jue leave her? "Hmm. Xiao Jue, don't forget what you said. If you lose me, remember to come back to me. She put her hand around his sturdy waist, not bothering herself with mediocrity.
Xiao Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and a soft voice whispered her name in her ear. The two finally resolved the impending contradictions and wars, and walked back hand in hand with infinite tenderness.
It was only when the two of them stepped into the palace that they saw Qiu Xiangxue running over in a crimson dress.
"Brother Jue, you're finally back." She swooped into Xiao Jue's arms like a pink butterfly.
Xiao Jue frowned lightly, but her eyes were looking at Qiu Shuiman, her eyes lowered indifferently as if she was thinking about something.
Xiao Jue gently pushed Qiu Xiangxue away, but Qiu Xiangxue caught a glimpse of the scroll in Qiu Shuiman's hand, and snatched it and unfolded it, when she saw that the person on the portrait was Xiao Jue, she was slightly stunned, and a trace of jealousy crossed her expression, and then raised her head and asked Xiao Jue.
"Brother Jue, why is she holding your portrait? If you sent it, I want it too. Qiu Xiangxue pulled Xiao Jue's sleeves and sprinkled coquettishly.
Qiu Shui sighed lightly, glanced at Qiu Xiangxue and said, "Xiangxue will give it to you if you like it, I'm tired, I'll go back first." ”
Without waiting for Xiao to speak, he turned around and walked towards his yard. Xiao Jue wanted to call her, but was pulled by Qiu Xiangxue towards his Piaoxiang Courtyard.
"Xiangxue." Xiao Jue opened Qiu Xiangxue's hand, and his face was not good.
Qiu Xiangxue raised her eyes to look at him, and her innocent eyes looked very aggrieved. Xiao Jue sighed, patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Xiangxue, Brother Jue still has business to deal with, can you go back by yourself?" ”
Qiu Xiangxue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded reluctantly. Xiao Jue called the maid to send Qiu Xiangxue back, and then walked straight towards the study.
After leaving with Xiao Jue, Qiu Xiangxue's crisp eyes were suddenly dyed with a touch of ruthlessness. She handed the scroll to her maid and walked towards Qiushuiju.
Qiushuiman was still a little depressed after returning to Qiushuiju, she remembered the Forget-You-Worry Pill given to her by Xiliangxun, and it was time to hand over this thing to Xiao Jue, just thinking about it, she heard the voice of Qingshen blocking Qiu Xiangxue.
"Miss Qiu, you can't go in, the princess is resting." Qingluo stood in front of the door and patiently persuaded.
"Get out of here." Qiu Xiangxue's brutal voice was exceptionally clear.
Qiushui walked out in a voice, looked at the person in front of the door and said in a deep voice: "Forget Qingshen, let her in." Qingshen had no choice but to give way, Qiu Xiangxue glared at Qingshen with a light snort and walked in.
Qiu Xiangxue sat down at the table freely, losing her usual compromised appearance, to the same arrogant appearance when she was playing tricks before.
"What is the matter with you coming to me, if it is a matter of despair, then please come back, I have nothing to say to you." At first, Qiu Shuiman thought that he was involved in the relationship between her and Xiao Jue, so he wanted to escape, but later Qiu Shuiman found out that Xiao was just a simple brother and sister, so she didn't feel guilty anymore, sorry for Qiu Xiangxue.
She endured her for a long time, and it was also because of the kindness of her parents who had saved Xiao Jue.
Qiu Xiangxue touched the teacup on the side and poured a glass of water, tasted it in her hand, and smiled suddenly as her eyebrows swept the autumn water. "Qiu Shuiman, do you think my absolute brother really loves you?" She laughed, looking at the autumn water as if she were watching a joke.
Qiu Shuiman's heart sank slightly, and after being stunned for a moment, she stared at Qiu Xiangxue, her voice calm and unwavering. "If he doesn't love me, does he love you?" Qiu Shui laughed back, she had seen people who were crazy for love, but it was rare to see someone as crazy as Qiu Xiangxue.
Qiu Xiangxue pursed her lips and put down the cup, her seemingly crisp and innocent eyes actually harbored resentment and jealousy.
"I've always known a secret about you. If you know this secret, it will be painful. Half a month, after half a month, the autumn water is many, do you believe that my brother will be mine in half a month? ”
The flowers and branches of her laughter trembled, and this seeping smile made Qiu Shui suddenly panic, and a kind of unprovoked fear filled her heart.
Qiu Shuiman tried her best to suppress this inexplicable feeling, and looked up at Qiu Xiangxue's smug smile, she suddenly felt that Qiu Xiangxue was pathetic.
"Xiangxue, you don't have to say such things to provoke me. I won't believe it, and I'm not interested in knowing the secrets you say. But I have a sentence I want to persuade you, the most unforced thing in this world is feelings, and you use Xiao's absolute guilt to stay by her side, it won't last long, because it's in vain if you can't get his heart. ”
She had wanted to sue her for a long time, and since she had taken off her disguise and came to her today, she would also be open and honest with her.
Qiu Xiangxue slapped the table and stood up, where could she, who was already proud, listen to Qiushuiman's words. She resisted the urge not to tell the secret.
"Qiu Shuiman, do you think you have won the heart of your absolute brother? Haha, then we'll see if the last loser is you or me. ”
She snorted softly, turned and walked out, only to see a handsome man standing outside the door. Qiu Xiangxue glanced at him, but she was very unfriendly and spared him.
Qiu Shui was a little surprised to see the people outside the door, and she hurriedly walked out, with some confusion on her face. "Brother, why are you here?" She didn't know when Autumn Night Scars came and what she heard.
Qiu Yeji held the account book in his hand, his face was gloomy, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. "Man'er, are you living like this in the palace?" He looked up at her with distress.
Qiu Shui walked down and said busily: "Brother, it's not like this. Xiangxue she was just joking with me, don't worry, Xiao Jue is really good to me. ”
Qiu Yeji let out a wry smile, and his eyebrows were full of sadness. Qiu Shui thought of the portrait he saw in Mo Baoxuan, the autumn night marks in the portrait were like this, and the sad face between his eyebrows appeared, was it all because of her?
"Brother, I'm really good, don't worry about me." Qiu Shui walked over and gently held his arm.
Qiu Yeji lowered his head and looked at Qiu Shuiman's white little hands, when he was a child, he had taken her hand and led her to every corner of the capital, but when he grew up, he never dared to shake her hand anymore.
"Man'er, as long as you say a word, my brother will help you do anything." He looked up to meet her quiet eyes, but he was deeply immersed in them, unable to take his eyes off.
"I know, brother, don't worry. If I'm in trouble, I'll definitely come to you, brother. "Autumn Night Scar is a rare person she has met in this world who is really good to her, she can't repay his kindness, the only thing she can do is not want him to worry about her.
Qiu Yeji sighed softly, handed her the account book in his hand, and then turned around and left without leaving a word.
