Chapter 44: Undercurrent
Ke Xiyuan opened his eyes, looked at the empty position next to him, and subconsciously frowned, "Qiqiao? β
Soon Qiqiao appeared in the house, "Grandma, are you awake?" Slaves and maids are waiting for you to freshen up! β
Ke Xiyuan nodded, "What about the second master?" β
"The second master left at the end of today, and asked the slaves and maids not to wake you up!" , Qiqiao is not afraid of Zhou Chenyu at all now, but feels that his young lady has married a good husband. Not only does he have a serious position, but he also cares about his own lady.
Ke Xiyuan didn't say anything, but it was unspeakably weird in her heart. After returning from the big house that day, Ke Xiyuan looked for Zhou Qingyu a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, but she couldn't see anything abnormal, so she slowly put her mind at ease. But Zhou Chenyu was weird, he came back very late every day, and when he came back, he washed his head and fell asleep.
When it comes to communication, the two really haven't said anything these days, but there is no conflict. As if inexplicably, the two began to have a cold war. Sleeping in the same bed every day, with their backs to each other, the atmosphere is inexplicably depressing.
Ke Xiyuan clenched her fists and made up her mind that she must talk to Zhou Chenyu today. It's never her character to be stagnant like this, and to solve whatever problems there are. has come to this point, no matter how she has to maintain this marriage. What's more, in her heart, she wants to live a good life with Zhou Chenyu.
Seeing Ke Xiyuan in a daze, and thinking that Zhou Chenyu hadn't had dinner in the mansion at night in the past few days, Qiqiao seemed to understand something but didn't understand it too much. Mingmingluo's mother said that it is very normal for a man to be tired and tired when he is out and about, but she feels that Ke Xiyuan seems to be unhappy.
"Grandma, the purple rice pumpkin porridge cooked by Hibiscus today is very fragrant! When she saw that the osmanthus flowers were blooming just right, she made osmanthus cakes for her grandmother and steamed the coriander dumplings that her grandmother loved to eat. The most remarkable thing is. The original mother in our kitchen brewed her own aged vinegar, and Hibiscus tried it, and it was said to be great! Qiqiao quickly fetched water and waited for Ke Xiyuan to freshen up, but his mouth kept introducing today's breakfast.
"Tangram, go ask Ryan. The second master has been eating outside for dinner these days. Is it good to use? Ke Xiyuan finally couldn't hold her breath and picked up a comb to comb her hair.
Qiqiao was stunned. I didn't expect Ke Xiyuan to take the initiative to care about Zhou Chenyu like this, and soon a smile appeared on her face and nodded, "The slave maid went to ask Jiuhui to comb your hair." I'm going to find Ryan for you! β
Soon, Jiuhui came in. saw Ke Xiyuan combing her hair. Walked over and took the comb, smiled and said, "Grandma is in a bad mood!" β
"The tone you use shows that you're sure I'm in a bad mood." , Ke Xiyuan sometimes likes to talk to Jiuhui very much. Effortlessly.
"In the past, maybe the slave had to guess, but now, grandma's whole face is written unhappy!" Jiuhui didn't continue the topic, she knew what Ke Xiyuan wanted to say. will say it, quickly comb Ke Xiyuan's hair high, and his voice is slightly lowered, "Recently, Kapok seems to be very close to Miss San. β
"Kapok?" , Thinking of something, Ke Xiyuan's heart froze, a trace of evil flashed in his eyes, and soon disappeared, and a smile appeared, "It's not a bad thing to communicate more!" Jiuhui, you did an excellent job! β
Soon, Mother Luo took Hibiscus and the full moon to set up breakfast, and then all stood aside to serve Ke Xiyuan for dinner.
Ke Xiyuan ate a small half bowl of porridge and a coriander dumpling, and then put down the chopsticks, "You don't have to serve all here in the future, just take turns every day for Qiqiao and Jiuhui!" β
Fleur smiled and said, "The slave and maid also met the grandmother during the meal, and the grandmother also drove the slave and the maid away!" β
Luo's mother also took over, "Grandma, you should also take other girls with you to practice more, otherwise you won't be able to use any one of them!" ", looked at the row of people, frowned, "What about Kapok?" What about Baxi? β
Fleur bowed her head and remained silent; Full Moon shook her head, indicating that she didn't know; Jiuhui said with a smile, "Baxi is coming, the rules in the house, you can't enter the new house when the day comes!" She was afraid of touching her master's head, so she had already told me! β
Mother Luo's face was slightly pale, and she looked at Furong, "You and Kapok have a house, tell her, there are no idlers in this yard!" When you get here, you think it's in our former Mozhu Courtyard? If I don't see her again for lunch, I'll have my own way of taking her! β
Ke Xiyuan only watched Luo's mother train people throughout the whole process, keeping a smile on her face and not stopping her. Many times, she needs a sword like Luo's mother.
Sure enough, Furong's body trembled slightly, she raised her head and glanced at Ke Xiyuan quickly, and said, "The slave and maid will go back and tell Kapok that the girl should be ......", Furong's head slowly oozed sweat, and she couldn't speak.
Mother Luo's eyes slowly became sharp, and she pointed to the full moon, "Go!" Bring Kapok here, I'll see what she's doing today! β
Kapok soon appeared with the full moon, and his face turned a little pale. As soon as he entered the house, he immediately knelt down, "The slave damned, I failed to serve my grandmother, and I asked my grandmother to punish me!" β
Ke Xiyuan didn't say anything, and the whole room was quiet, and no one broke the peace.
The full moon who was following Kapok turned his eyes, and when he saw Jiuhui winking at him, he quickly went behind Luo's mother, bowed his head and stood up, looking at his nose and nose.
Qiqiao rushed in, not caring about the kapok kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile, "Grandma, the slave has asked, can you say it now?" β
"Say it!" , Ke Xiyuan's eyes always stayed on Kapok, and when she saw her clenched hand, her eyes deepened.
Ryan said that the second master had dinner with his friends for the past two days, and because he drank alcohol, he would always dissipate the alcohol in the outer courtyard before returning to the inner courtyard. Ask grandma if she wants to inform the second master and come back early. Qiqiao then looked at the kapok next to him, snorted coldly, and saw that Kapok's body trembled again.
"You go to sue SΓΉ Ruian, nothing else, just worry about the second master's body! asked him to bring some hangover pills with him, and the second master had to wait for him when he was in the outer courtyard. You can't catch the wind after drinking, so be careful! Okay, go talk back! Ke Xiyuan only felt that something was tumbling in her heart, and she covered her chest, and her face became even worse.
Seeing Qiqiao retreating, Luo's mother said to the kapok on the ground, "Get up!" Grandma is a good person, and she doesn't want to bind you with rules, but you yourself have to know how to do it! After signing the deed of sale, he is destined to be a grandmother for the rest of his life! After speaking, he saluted Ke Xiyuan, "Grandma, the slave and maid taught Kapok a lesson in front of you, and asked grandma to forgive the slave and maid for being reckless." β
"Mom doesn't have to be so polite! Since I handed over the whole yard to my mother, I naturally trust my mother! After a pause, "Kapok should also get up!" In the future, you must listen to your mother in everything, and you must not do it again. Admit your mistake to your mother and go down! β
Full Moon raised her head and glanced at Ke Xiyuan, her eyes brightened. She finally understood why her mother had to follow Ke Xiyuan no matter what.
Kapok's eyes gradually filled with tears, got up and stumbled a few times, and saluted Luo's mother, "Kapok is not right, please forgive my mother!" β
"Let's go down! What is it like to cry here! Luo's mother has become more and more dislike of looking at Kapok recently, and she doesn't understand how Kapok became like this.
Kapok snorted and bowed to Ke Xiyuan before withdrawing.
After only a few steps out of the door, Kapok saw a tall figure. His heart skipped a few beats, and he blessed, "Second master!" β
Zhou Chenyu frowned and glanced at it, "What are you crying about?" β
Kapok only felt that there was a strange but very good smell in his nose, and his mind went blank in an instant. Hearing Zhou Chenyu ask again, he poured out full of grievances for no reason, "No...... It's nothing...... It's the slave who is wrong, and it makes grandma angry! β
"Your grandma is angry?" , Zhou Chenyu's expression was a little wrong, and his tone was with a hint of anger.
Kapok boldly raised his head and looked at Zhou Chenyu, his heart pounding, "Yes!" It's not good to be a slave! β
"Of course you're bad! What about being a daughter? Qiqiao was behind Zhou Chenyu, looking at Kapok angrily, feeling uncomfortable anywhere.
Zhou Chenyu glanced at the two of them and rushed directly to the room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ke Xiyuan, who was holding his chin at the window and was stunned, his heart tightened, and he said to the people standing aside and waiting, "Remove everything, I have something to say to your grandmother." β
Luo's mother had a chill in her eyes, and she led everyone to pack up her things and retreated.
When there were only two of them left, Zhou Chenyu was a little nervous. These days, I didn't know how to face Ke Xiyuan, so I had to go to Wangyue Tower every day to drink, and only returned to the house after dinner, and then stayed in the outer courtyard until it was time to go to bed. The two barely spoke, and they didn't even look at each other.
Zhou Chenyu became more and more unable to hold his breath, Ke Xiyuan didn't care and didn't ask, could it be that Ke Xiyuan really didn't care at all?
To this day, Ryan told himself that Qiqiao had come to the outer courtyard to be ordered to inquire, and he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he just wanted to go back to the courtyard as soon as possible. When I entered the second room, I saw Qiqiao, and when I came back together, I saw Kapok.
Zhou Chenyu was angry. But he was angry with himself. Once upon a time, he promised to use up a qiΔ to give Ke Xiyuan happiness. However, for the sake of Zhou Qingyu's few words, and for Yu Xuanming, a person who has long been unrelated, he was confused.
Myself, is there no confidence or ......
"Yuanyuan!" , Zhou Chenyu's voice trembled slightly, and there was a feeling of fear in the sky.
"You're back!" Ke Xiyuan turned his head, showed a smile, and pointed out the window, "We have built a magpie nest on the tree outside the window!" Check it out! β
Obviously, he was smiling like a flower, but for some reason, Zhou Chenyu just felt bored in his heart. Why, why would she rather take her anger out on an innocent girl than show her anger at herself? Once upon a time, she was so wanton to release her love? What made her change?
Ke Xiyuan also noticed Zhou Chenyu's hesitation, but she was thinking in her heart, she had already put down her body and accommodated, why didn't she go down with the trend?
The two looked at each other quietly, neither of them taking a step first, but they stubbornly refused to look away from each other. (To be continued)
