Chapter 100: Xiao Jin
Chapter 100 Xiao Jin didn't extinguish the last trace of flame until midnight, when he had almost poured out all the servants of the Xiao family.
Xiao Lei was carried to the guest room by several house slaves, and his yard had been burned to the ground, and he could only temporarily live in the guest room until it was repaired. The careful-hearted Liu Yemei saw that Shi Manman was soaked and not suitable for staying in the mixed crowd, so he ordered Yunbi to send Shi Manman back to the room, and sent the two maids beside him to stay by Xiao Lei's side to take care of him.
Except for the shallow plain dwelling where the stone vines temporarily lived, except for the wood ash brought by the wind sporadically. Everything was so peaceful and peaceful, as if the fire had not affected the view of the courtyard. The courtyard is still full of water and clear, and the bamboo shadows are shaking.
Shi Manman changed out of his soaked clothes, dried his body and hair with a dry cloth, and changed into a clean dress. Yunbi waited beside Shi Manman in a regular manner, and her low-eyed appearance made it impossible to find fault. The stone vines in the light of the clouds walked to the window, letting the evening breeze blow through the damp ends of their hair.
All she had in mind at the moment was Xiao Lei's last sentence, and in terms of the complexity of the human world, she would rather be infested by birds from time to time.
Yun Bi stood behind her, looking at the woman who had saved her beloved with her back to her. She knew in her heart that if there were no stone vines today, Gongzi might be buried in the fire.
If only she had died in the fire.
Yun Bi didn't come to such an idea suddenly. Once the son's kindness and closeness to himself have all become alienated, just because of the arrival of the woman in front of him. Childe no longer looked at herself, and she was serving by her side like a real slave these days.
She is unwilling, the love and tenderness of the original son should belong to her alone. She always thought that Xiao Lei deliberately snubbed her because she was worried about Shi Manman's "wife", until she heard today that the son, who has always put filial piety first, actually clashed with his father for such a woman.
Yun Bi's first thought was not that Gongzi had changed, but that she underestimated Shi Manman's status in Xiao Lei's mind, and a sense of crisis arose. Thinking of this, the complexity in those eyes gradually brought out a hint of coldness.
At 3 or 4 a.m., the darkness before dawn engulfed the moon. After a night of fighting, the entire Xiao Mansion fell into fatigue and was silent. After the fire, a slender figure stood in front of the ruined study. She stood in front of the ruins, in the dim light, searching for something. After a long time, she seemed to see something, and with a spread of her palm, a burnt black object in the ruins flew into her palm. After finding the thing he was looking for, he turned around and raised his breath and easily jumped out of Xiao Lei's courtyard wall.
Shortly after the woman disappeared into the corner, a sneaky figure looked around vigilantly, tiptoed to the burnt study with only the door frame left, and bent down as if looking for something.
The loud sound of roosters came from afar, and the dark night sky seemed to be splashed with clear water. The sneaky figure found that he couldn't find what he was looking for, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he could only leave quietly and anxiously.
"Still failed......" In the dimness, a woman's faint and cold voice sounded.
"Slave maid...... The slave maid ...... "In front of the woman, a man dressed as a maid was on his knees, trembling with fear.
"Waste." The woman kicked heavily at the heart of the maid on the ground, and saw that the other party was in pain and rolled to the side before relieving her anger and leaving.
"Find an excuse for that to come to me." In the moonlight, the woman smiled softly at the maid on the ground. In the moonlight, the woman's eyebrows and teeth are bright, and her bright and moving appearance is clearly Xiao Jin, where is she still weak and weak in front of people at this moment.
The maid was not confused by this gentle smile, but slurred her words more and more fearfully: "Yes...... It's Miss. ”
"Looking for some impatiens, I always feel that this nail is not red enough. Oh...... Also, this time the movement is a bit big, don't do anything for the time being. I'm in a hurry. It's just that the only younger brother is about to get married, and it is inevitable that she will be happy to be an older sister. Xiao Jin admired the dyed red nails, and slowly spoke with a cold face.
"Why don't you let me in! I'm just sending some clothes to my son. Yunxi asked loudly to the smoke and smoke that stopped him in front of him.
Yanmu raised his eyebrows at Yunxi's dress, his eyes were full of disdain, and he said, "An inferior maid can actually handle the clothes of the son?" Yunxi, don't think that you are still a big girl who can show off your might, and you are making a loud noise here again, disturbing the rest of the son. Don't talk about you, we will be punished too. If you yourself have fallen into such a situation, stop harming others. ”
"I ...... I ......" Yunxi was choked by the rebuttal, "you guys wait for me!" Yunxi pointed at the two, stomped his feet angrily and turned to leave.
She did lose the qualification to serve by Xiao Lei's side, but today she really wanted to serve Xiao Lei well. Because she has guilt in her heart, and she has a ghost in her heart.
One thought made her almost kill Xiao Lei, if this matter is discovered, then her death will not be far away. It's because of that person, if she weren't gullible, she wouldn't have been left behind, and she was terrified all the time.
The fear in her heart then turned to anger, and she picked the delicate flowers as she walked, and pinched them fiercely. "Yo, who annoyed Sister Yunxi, tsk, this flower is really unlucky." Yunxi was venting his indignation, and immediately looked up when he saw someone ridiculing.
At this glance, the flower in his hand couldn't help but throw it at the man. "It's you! If it weren't for you, Childe would ......"
"Shut up!" Huansha glared at Yunxi viciously and said.
"If you don't want to die, say it out loud." Huansha lowered her voice, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes. With such a person, sooner or later something will happen.
Yunxi was also startled, thinking that he had almost said the wrong thing just now, and immediately covered his mouth and looked around.
"Miss is looking for you." Huansha had already lost the interest in ridiculing Yunxi, and coldly dropped a few words and turned to leave.
Yunxi really felt fear at this moment, what did Miss want to do with herself? Is it to kill people and kill people?
"Little ...... Did the young lady say anything? Although Yunxi was afraid, she could only follow behind Huansha and asked nervously.
"Miss misses the red bean paste you made. Only the taste you make is to the lady's taste. Huansha suddenly changed her face and smiled kindly at Yunxi.
Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and when he wondered how Huansha could say this, he saw Shi Manman walking towards them with Yunbi and Yalian behind him.
When the two passed, the two saluted to Shi Manman, who still looked cold and nodded to the two. When Yunxi raised his head, he happened to meet Shi Manman's gaze that had not yet retracted, and looking at the dark eyes, Yunxi gave birth to a chill from the top of his head to his whole body.
In those eyes that could see her reflection clearly, it seemed to have penetrated her heart.
