Chapter 10: Xuan Yan
Xue Tianao unhurriedly took out the dagger, wiped the blood stains on the big man's clothes, and walked towards Xiao Wanyao after putting it away.
"If he turns into a ghost, he will only come to me, don't be afraid." Xue Tianao comforted in a low voice, without the slightest domineering attitude when he first met.
Xiao Wanyao's hair was scattered, a strand of hair hung down on the side of her face, Xue Tianao couldn't help but raise her hand and tuck her hair behind her ears for her.
"I'm late, I'm scared of you." Seeing that Xiao Wanyao's face was pale and her eyes were timid, Xue Tianao continued.
"How do you know...... I...... Got me here? Xiao Wanyao asked with red eyes.
Xue Tianao took out a jade pendant from his arms, which was the Lantian pink jade that the two of them were fighting for in the antique shop.
"I picked it up at the entrance of the alley, and at first I thought you weren't a person who cherished things, and I regretted giving it to you." Xue Tianao said, "But I found that there was some white powder in the cracks of the carving, and after a closer look, I found that it was sweat medicine...... There were scratches on the wall, and when it came down, I knew that you were in trouble. ”
Xiao Wanyao touched her waist, and sure enough, the jade pendant was gone, I am afraid that it fell at the mouth of the alley when she was struggling at that time!
"I didn't expect this jade pendant to appear in your hand in the end, thank you Xue Gongzi for saving me, Gongzi's kindness ......"
Xue Tianao shook his head and interrupted Xiao Wanyao's words: "'Kindness' or something, I don't need you to reciprocate, just when you owe me a favor, if he sees me again, you just need to be kind to me." ”
Xiao Wanyao's eyes were hot, she didn't expect Xue Tianao to be such a person in this life, although in the eyes of outsiders he was a demon king who did all kinds of evil, but she didn't expect that Xue Aotian could also be so secure, and he could be so gentle and careful, he also had an unknown side.
But Empress Xue ......
Xiao Wanyao rubbed her temples, she felt cold when she thought of this vicious woman, she really didn't want to have a little intersection with the Xue family and the palace in this life, she was tired of fighting openly and secretly!
She looked at Xue Tianao, thinking that it would be best to deal with it now and never meet again in the future.
Xue Tianao pursed his lips, saw that she was in a trance, and asked, "What's wrong?" Are you not feeling well? ”
Xiao Wanyao shook her head and said, "It's just that I encountered this catastrophe on the way out, and now my clothes are ruined and my hair is so messy...... I don't know how to get home......"
Xue Tian raised the corners of his mouth proudly: "It's not difficult, it's still early, I'll take you to my small mansion not far from here, and I'll ask the maid to change your clothes and fix your hair to ensure that your reputation is not damaged." ”
There was only this way at the moment, Xiao Wanyao couldn't think of anything else, so she nodded and agreed.
It's just that the medicinal power has not been exhausted, Xiao Wanyao feels weak in her legs and feet, and she can't walk.
Xue Tianao naturally discovered this, so he simply picked her up and strode out of the wooden house.
Sure enough, this place was not far from Xue Aotian's small house, and Xiao Wanyao, who had a stick of incense, saw the word "Xuanyan" written on the plaque in his yard.
Seeing Xiao Wanyao's doubts, Xue Tianao explained: "The yard is full of red plums, and it is extremely beautiful when it blooms in winter, so the yard is called 'Xuanyan'." ”
Xiao Wanyao can imagine how beautiful it is to cover the earth with snow and red plums blooming in winter, so she feels that the word "Xuanyan" really complements each other.
Seeing that Xiao Wanyao was stunned, Xue Tianao said in a low voice: "When the red plum blooms in winter, I will ask you to come and see it, how about it?" ”
Xiao Wanyao looked at him, then turned her head away, neither refused nor agreed: "My legs and feet have recovered, you can let me down!" ”
Xue Tianao smiled slightly, and did not disagree with her wishes, carefully let her down, and supported her into the small house.
There were three maids in the small mansion, and when they saw Xue Tianao coming in, they were blessed, and they were not surprised at all by Xiao Wanyao's wolf dress, as if they were used to seeing big scenes, and they could be calm and normal in any situation.
"What about you, now stop what you are doing, help this girl get dressed, and as for what you want to do, you just listen to her." Xue Tianao said.
"Yes." The three maids answered in unison, and then helped Xiao Wanyao to the back room.
Half an hour later, Xiao Wanyao had already dressed up, and Xue Tianao had also changed into clean clothes, a purple brocade robe.
"I'm in a hurry, so I won't keep the girl, I wonder if the girl can reveal her name so that she can get together again in the future?" Xue Tianao changed his previous frivolity, and his words were more sincere.
The look in Xiao Wanyao's eyes was complicated, and the taste in her heart was also ever-changing, but the expression that finally appeared on her face was an indifferent smile: "Meeting Gongzi was originally an accident, whether it was caused by fate is still unknown, it is better for Xue Gongzi to be a mistake, and it is best for you and me to miss it." ”
Xue Tianao laughed loudly, but his eyes were full of loneliness, and said, "It's okay, it's okay...... I am a noble child, and it is not my turn to make my own decisions about marriage, since I can't give the girl a future, I will no longer delay the girl's youth, you can keep this jade pendant! ”
Xue Tianao said, took out the pink jade pendant from the placket and handed it to Xiao Wanyao, and continued: "At that time, the talisman should be safe!" ”
Xiao Wanyao looked at Xue Tianao with the jade pendant for a long time, she felt that Xue Tianao was really different from her previous life, and even made her feel that the Xue Tianao she saw in her previous life was not real, and she began to suspect that Xue Tianao's death had another hidden meaning.
"What's wrong?" Xue Tianao saw that she was stunned again, and couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Wanyao came back to her senses, then shook her head lightly: "It's okay, maybe I was just frightened, and I have a headache at this moment." ”
"I'll send you back to Jiugong Street, don't worry, I will walk behind you and won't let others see it." Xue Tianao said.
Xiao Wanyao was still very scared after the catastrophe just now, thinking that it would be safer for Xue Tianao to follow, so she didn't refuse.
This place is not too far from Jiugong Street, Xue Tianao has been walking behind her has been not far away, not close, when she walked into the bustling city, and saw the licorice waiting for her anxiously, Xue Tianao quietly left.
"Second Miss, where have you been? Scared the hell out of me! Licorice saw Xiao Wanyao coming over, and grabbed Xiao Wanyao's sleeve aggrievedly, "I didn't see you, Miss, when I came back to help Tian, I didn't see you in the neighborhood, and I didn't dare to go far away, for fear that you wouldn't be able to come back and see me; I didn't dare to go back and tell my master, for fear of causing you trouble...... Second Miss, I'm so scared! ”
Xiao Wanyao touched her head and said softly: "I went to a farther place to buy a beautiful dress, but I forgot the time, licorice, I am sorry for you and made you afraid." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Wanyao's mind came to mind the appearance of Xue Tianao when he rescued her, and he lingered for a long time.
Licorice wiped her tears and sobbed: "As long as the second miss is fine, it's not early, we should go back, by the way, the master's birthday gift...... Did the second lady buy it? ”
Xiao Wanyao was empty-handed, so she smiled awkwardly at the licorice, and said, "I used it all to buy clothes, as for the gifts, I have already thought about it, don't worry, let's go back!" ”
Licorice didn't doubt it, and her mood improved a lot, so she took Xiao Wanyao's arm and went back to Xiao's mansion.
Xiao Wanyao felt a little guilty when she looked at the licorice, but she didn't want others to know about it, the less people knew, the better.
As for Xue Tianao...... Xiao Wanyao shook her head, thinking that no matter how big the secret was on him, she wouldn't touch it, she didn't need to enter the palace in this life, she could control her fate, then she couldn't get involved in right and wrong anymore.
"What does Miss Second think?" Licorice saw that Xiao Wanyao was absent-minded when she walked, afraid that she would accidentally fall, so she asked.
Xiao Wanyao said: "I didn't think about anything, I just walked for such a day, and I was unconsciously a little tired." ”
Licorice nodded in agreement: "Well, what's more, the second lady still has injuries on her body!" Second Miss, the medicinal materials you asked me to prepare are complete, what are you going to use them for? ”
Xiao Wanyao raised her right hand, and now her hand was still wrapped in thick gauze, and she said, "The burned place is bound to leave scars, and these medicines are all used to fade scars...... I made it into a balm to wipe my hands on weekdays, and when the injury was healed, I rubbed it on the scar every day, and if nothing else, the scar disappeared when the box of balm was used up. ”
Xiao Wanyao can talk about her strengths for a long time, but now she still restrains herself, because before she knew it, they had arrived in front of the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Wanyao frowned, and secretly decided in her heart that she must teach Xiao Wanrou and Liu Ruyun, the two sluts, some lessons, so that they could pay the price for framing themselves!
When Xiao Wanyao took a bath that night, she casually found a reason to take the licorice away, and she hurriedly took a bath in the house, because there were bruises on her arms, and others knew that it was a finger pinch, so she couldn't let others see it, and she lost her innocence in vain.
When Licorice came back, Xiao Wanyao had already dressed, and Licorice felt strange, but Xiao Wanyao only said that she was very tired and just wanted to rest early, so she took a quick shower by herself, and now she is waiting for Licorice to go to bed after she recovers.
Licorice didn't think much about it after hearing this, and said obediently: "The matter that the second lady handed over to the slave and maid, the slave and maid have already done it, all the medicinal materials have been ground into powder, mixed in butter and stirred well, and the mixed ointment has also been sealed in a tin box...... There was no water at all during this time, Second Miss, did the slave do the right thing? ”
Xiao Wanyao bowed slightly: "You girl is clever, you can teach it once, and there is nothing wrong, now the balm is basically done, but I want to trouble you to go to the yard tomorrow morning to pick some freshly opened roses, and add some fragrance to the balm after processing." ”
Licorice said with a smile: "As long as it is good for the second miss, licorice doesn't feel troublesome, the second miss should rest quickly, see if you are really tired." ”
Xiao Wanyao nodded and didn't say anything more, she fell asleep as soon as she lay on the pillow after being tired and tormented.
I thought I would have nightmares, but in fact, I didn't, Xiao Wanyao slept very sweetly this night, and she hadn't felt so at ease for a long time like today.
There was no dream all night, Xiao Wanyao woke up when it was already dawn, licorice had already picked some roses and came back, according to the special method taught by Xiao Wanyao to deal with the roses, seeing Xiao Wanyao wake up, licorice hurriedly washed her hands again, and brought a few waiting maids to serve Xiao Wanyao to get up.
"Miss Two, do you have any plans after breakfast?" Licorice asked when she combed Xiao Wanyao's hair.
At this time, there was no one else around, so Xiao Wanyao replied lazily: "Of course I went to see Liu Ruyun, she asked me to go out yesterday, and I can't go today to thank her!" ”
Licorice listened to it in a fog, but she didn't ask any more, anyway, no matter what decision the second lady makes, it will have her reasons.
"Licorice, give this letter to my uncle in a moment, he will understand my intentions after reading it." Before leaving, Xiao Wanyao handed a letter to licorice.
Liu Ruyun here also just had breakfast, yesterday she allowed Xiao Wanyao to leave the house, and suddenly had a plan, and decided to hire someone to ruin Xiao Wanyao's innocence, so that there would be one less opponent to compete with her daughter for a husband, and Xiao Wanyao would also be disgusted by the master, and she would also lose a thorn in her eye, maybe she would not think about training because of this. And Liu Ruyun hired a gangster in the alley, the kind who doesn't do his job all day long and sees money, so he ruined Xiao Wanyao, she was completely sure of this, and she proudly sued Xiao Wanrou.
Xiao Wanrou's right hand is not good now, because she is pampered and does not exercise much on weekdays, so her body bones are not very good, and after the bones are broken, the healing ability is naturally poorer, so she is also very depressed, but after listening to the good news brought to her by her mother, her mood is a lot better.
"What my mother said, but is it true?" Xiao Wanrou's eyes were filled with excitement.
Liu Ruyun nodded, smiling without saying a word.
"Great! That little slut must be hiding in some dark corner and crying at this moment! A lowly person like her should live in a corner. Xiao Wanrou gritted her teeth, thinking about it, she was really relieved.
"She, an ominous person, has brought you so much trouble and bad luck as soon as she comes, it's not a pity for her to die!" Liu Ruyun was also vicious when he spoke.
As for Xiao Wanyao, although she didn't know this at the moment, she had already guessed the surprised expressions of those two sluts when they saw her.
