In the early morning after the rain, the air was still wet and greasy, and the summer humidity mixed with the gradually rising heat kneaded into a thin layer of mist over the slightly dark courtyard.

After a light knock on the courtyard door, someone opened it from the inside, and the two people walked into the courtyard, and the early sister-in-law welcomed them into the hall, made a pot of tea, served a plate of hot breakfast, and returned to the kitchen to be busy.

Zhao Xian, who was sleeping on the bed, opened her eyes in the quiet opening of the courtyard door, and supposedly left the Paradise that made her nightmares come to a safe place, she should have slept comfortably until dawn, and then greeted the new day refreshed.

However, Zhao Xian spent the night in a half-dream, since she saw Ayan unconscious last night, she couldn't sleep peacefully, her complex emotions were more with guilt and resentment.

She felt guilty that she had burdened Ah Yan, and she was indignant at her powerlessness, and at this moment she finally understood Zhao Qiong's mood when Yao Jin was injured.

In this era, it should be natural and unquestionable for subordinates to be injured or even killed for their masters, but for Zhao Xian, the idea of freedom and equality has long been ingrained, and it is impossible to accept this kind of sacrifice calmly.

She slowly propped herself up from the bed and rubbed her legs, the wound was almost healed after a period of time, she thought, when the senior brother came, she would have to let the senior brother help her take a look, if she could recover sooner, she could go and secretly investigate the people who had hurt her and the people around her.

After cleaning up, Zhao Xian slowly walked to the hall, Sister-in-law Hu happened to walk out of the kitchen, after seeing Zhao Xian, she hurriedly walked a few steps forward to help her, Zhao Xian waved her hand to say that she could do it, Sister-in-law Hu smiled, pointed to the hall with her finger, and said: "Little lady, someone is waiting for you early in the morning!." ”

"Wait for me?" Zhao Xianqi said, thinking that he just came here last night, besides Yin Ren, what other acquaintances came to find him? "Isn't it ......?" Zhao Xian suddenly turned around and rushed towards the hall.

"It must be big brother!" Zhao Xian thought happily.

The people in the hall had already heard the footsteps, and the two of them stood up from their chairs and looked at the door of the hall.

"Xian'er!" The square and serious man called softly, carefully looking at the girl who had suffered a lot.

"Big brother!" , Zhao Xian stopped and called in a trembling voice, she had never been so full of dependence and emotion for her family as she is now.

Seeing her eldest brother Zhao Yunxi standing with a smile, her face full of love for her, Zhao Xian's tears rolled a few times in her eyes.

"Senior sister!" Another man's calm voice came.

"Senior brother!" Zhao Xian paused, then slowly moved her gaze to the side, and called out with surprise on her face. I think that the person she has been looking forward to coming soon since last night, how can she not be overjoyed when she suddenly appears in front of her?

Zhao Xian hurriedly walked a few steps, but she had already forgotten her leg injury, and she had forgotten the threshold that she had not stepped out of.

"Ah......h Zhao Xian saw that she was about to fall to the ground, and couldn't help but exclaim, but her body was far from being as fast as her brain, although she was in a hurry, she really had no other way but to watch herself fall. Zhao Xian's eyes couldn't help but close, just waiting for herself to have the most intimate contact with the hall.

It's just that the imaginary forward fall did not appear, Zhao Xian first felt that her arms were supported, and when she turned her body lightly, she fell into a warm and thick embrace.

After she settled down, she opened her eyes, and immediately met a pair of black eyes full of inexplicable emotions, the owner of the eyes was wheat-colored, and her face was slightly haggard, as if she had not rested well for several nights.

Zhao Xian fell into the arms of her senior brother in an extremely embarrassing posture, thinking that her eldest brother supported her in time, but unexpectedly it was her senior brother, although the senior brother is like the eldest brother, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, Zhao Xian couldn't help but blush.

Zhao Yunxi saw that her sister was tripped by the threshold, her legs and feet seemed to be inconvenient, and she couldn't control her body at all, and she was about to reach forward to support her sister in a hurry, but a black shadow flashed in the corner of her eye, and the man who was standing next to her was already as fast as lightning, stretched out his hands, and held his sister steadily.

"This Li Yi!" Zhao Yunxi muttered, smiled silently in his heart, withdrew his right leg that had already stepped out, lowered his hands and turned his back, turned around, and pretended to look elsewhere.

Regarding Li Yi's concern for his sister-in-law, Zhao Yunxi is obviously happy to see it. He couldn't help but think of what his father said when he discussed his sister-in-law's lifelong events with him after his sister-in-law and Lu, and his smile couldn't help but deepen a little.

As Zhao Xian's side, Li Yi, whose status is second only to several close brothers, has been staying in the Eight Princes' Mansion for a few months every year to teach his sister Zhao Xian, and his closeness to Zhao Xian can be imagined, and his care for Zhao Xian is no less than anyone's.

Every time he sees Li Yi's eyes looking at his sister-in-law, Zhao Yunxi knows that his feelings for his sister-in-law are not as calm as they seem. If they want to find a son-in-law in the Eight Princes' Mansion, what they value is not the other party's power, status, and money, but the other party's character, as well as their true love, pity and pity for their sister, so that they can rest assured that they will marry this most beloved sister to that person.

And Li Yi, in their eyes, is undoubtedly the best candidate, but her sister is extremely smart in other aspects, far beyond ordinary people, but she is ignorant and has not yet opened her mind.

"Senior sister, are you okay?" Li Yi asked, without waiting for Zhao Xian to answer, he held Zhao Xian in his arms with one hand, and his right hand was quickly stretched out, and his fingers were like the wind on Zhao Xian's vein. After a moment, he frowned slightly and asked, "Have you ever taken anything?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Xian hadn't recovered from her shyness, and was suddenly asked by her senior brother, and she was stunned, and then she remembered what her senior brother asked.

"During my captivity, I was poppy in my food, and after eating it for a few days, I first felt high and could not sleep, and then I felt dizzy and short of breath and weak." Zhao Xian replied.

"Poppy?" Li Yi saw that although Zhao Xian's expression was light, the body held in his arms still trembled uncontrollably, as if he was forbearing, and he seemed to be extremely angry.

"I see!" Li Yi's arm tightened, his face did not change, but his heart was extremely angry, he silently helped Zhao Xian to sit on the chair he was sitting on, and pointed to Zhao Xian's sprained leg and asked, "How is this injured?" ”

"When I fell from the cliff into the water, I didn't know what I hit and injured my leg, but I am almost healed in the past few days." Zhao Xian lightly recounted the thrilling scene that night, just afraid that her brother and senior brother would be too worried.

After Li Yi heard this, he was silent for a long time, but the flashing storm emotion in his eyes became more and more concentrated, and after a while, it disappeared into invisibility.

He squatted down, put his palm on Zhao Xian's leg and gently pinched the injured part a few times, nodded and said: "This trauma is not a big deal, but the poppy poison in your body has already spread in the blood of your body, and you need to dispense medicine for a few days to get rid of it." ”

Zhao Xian nodded and said, "Senior brother, my injuries are fine, you go to see Ah Yan, when she jumped off the cliff, in order to protect me, she accidentally hit her head and is still unconscious." ”
