The gate of Fanghua Garden was closed, and there was no one around.

Xie Roujia stood outside the door in a trance.

She even had a thought in her heart, everything now was just a dream for her, and when she opened the door, she could see the woman in the courtyard leaning on the railing and looking at the sky with a sad face.

She was suddenly a little scared.

She was afraid that if she met those eyes, those lifeless and empty eyes, everything would disappear now.

Although everything has not changed much now compared to that time, my mother is disgusted, my sister who is alive is no different from death, my father calculates, my grandmother is dead, and I am still not allowed by the family, but at least she is still alive like a person, she is still herself, and she knows that she remembers that she is herself.

There was a bang, and the door opened suddenly.

Xie Roujia was startled and couldn't help but take a step back and crashed into a sturdy embrace.

"Oh, you're scared too." Zhou Chengzhen smiled and hugged her waist with his hand, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is me." ”

This is the first time I've hugged her like this, and it doesn't count when the fight rolls around.

The person in his arms is small, soft and fragrant.

Zhou Chengzhen's face couldn't help but be hot, and her ears were hot.

And what was even more surprising was that the person in his arms did not hit him and jumped away, but looked up at him.

Under the bright sunshine in April, the girl is as delicate as a flower, and her big eyes are crystal clear.

This girl is pretty good-looking.

Zhou Chengzhen burst out of his heart, and the next moment the beautiful little girl in his arms smiled on her face, and when she laughed, she only felt that her hands and feet were a little numb, and she felt frizzy.

He reached out and pushed the man in his arms.

"What a smirk, get in." He said.

"It's fun to laugh at something." Xie Roujia said. The smile on his face has not yet faded.

What's interesting?

Zhou Chengzhen frowned, and then saw Xie Roujia stretching out his hand and brushing it in his waist. He was immediately annoyed.

What do you mean? Dislike him?

In fact, it's nothing to dislike him, where has she given him a good face since they met. It's either scolding or beating.

Anyway, I don't know why, anyway, he's very unhappy now.

"Don't laugh." He said, reaching out and pressing Xie Roujia's head.

Xie Roujia raised her hand and grabbed his arm and slammed it, glaring at him.

"Fuck off!" She scolded.

Zhou Chengzhen exhaled and felt comfortable.

It's really strange, why was she scared by her laughter just now? Doesn't laughter indicate happiness and liking? She likes and is happy, shouldn't she be happy? Why is it so uncomfortable?

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Xie Roujia back.

"Give me a smile." He said.

Xie Roujia snorted at him, turned around and stepped in.

Fang Hua Yuan is very small, with a few rooms and a small courtyard. At this time, the yard is full of spring, the grass is green and the trees are luxuriant, and a cluster of pomegranate trees in front of the window grows wantonly.

Xie Roujia stepped forward and reached out to stroke the branch.

There was another bang, Zhou Chengzhen pushed open the door of the house, shook off a layer of dust, and shook his hand twice.

"What's there to see here?" He said with a frown.

Listening to the footsteps behind him, he knew that the girl was coming, but he didn't turn his head back, just raised his feet and went in. The girl behind her pounced, and immediately a cloth was wrapped around her neck.

Zhou Chengzhen grabbed the cloth without saying a word and shook it violently, a fist hit him under the ribs, and he couldn't help but scream in pain. Then he was carried and fell to the ground.

Fell to the ground and looked up to see the girl standing behind him.

Xie Roujia took off her gown, revealing her undershirt, and at this time she strangled Zhou Chengzhen's neck with the clothes she took off.

"Lord Shizi. I beg you. Please, let me go and save my father. ”

"Don't bother. The Xie family is no longer saved, so you can happily die with a clean reputation. ”

"Let me go back, let me go back"

"You slut! You tricked me into doing such ugly things, and I was angry with my grandfather! ”

There were chaotic shouts and cries in her ears, Xie Roujia's eyes gradually blurred, and the woman in front of her who was wrapped in white silk gradually stopped struggling, and her body softened on the ground, like a withered flower.

Xie Roujia let go of her hand and gasped for air.

Zhou Chengzhen lay on the ground and looked at her motionlessly.

There was only heavy wheezing in the room.

"You, why don't you struggle?" Xie Roujia said.

Zhou Chengzhen wrapped her clothes around her neck, put her hands behind her head and looked at her.

"You really wanted to kill me just now?" He asked.

Xie Roujia reached for her clothes.

"You know I can't kill you." She said, looking down.

Zhou Chengzhen reached out and pinched her chin and asked her to look at herself.

Xie Roujia angrily tried to break away, but to no avail.

"But you really wanted to kill me just now?" Zhou Chengzhen asked again.

"yes." Xie Roujia looked at him and said, "You know what it's like to be killed, right? ”

Zhou Chengzhen looked at her.

"It's not a taste to be killed, and I don't care." He shook his head and said, "Just, why?" Why do you really want to kill me? ”

"Because you killed me." Xie Roujia said.

It's not the first time she's said it.

"What a grudge."

"Yes."

"It's true, no wonder you always look like you're going to fight with me, what kind of hatred?"

"In your last life, kill me."

Zhou Chengzhen thought of what she said when she was holding her hostage on the way to Beijing.

"Oh." He nodded, "That does." ”

But he didn't ask anything more.

Xie Roujia shook off his hand and pulled his clothes, and Zhou Chengzhen did not stop or take the initiative.

The two faced each other silently.

"What are you doing?"

A voice burst out of nowhere, breaking the silence.

Zhou Chengzhen jumped up instantly, hid Xie Roujia behind her, and then looked out of the door.

In the courtyard, Amu pushed a wheelchair, on which sat a rickety figure, the whole person was wrapped in a wide and heavy cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly.

At this time, they also looked indoors, especially when they saw the clothes Xie Roujia was carrying, Amu's expression was a little strange.

"Ridiculous!" Said the man in the wheelchair.

The voice is old and hoarse. Because the trembling can't tell whether the emotion is angry or excited.

Hearing this, Zhou Chengzhen and Xie Roujia were stunned, and their expressions changed suddenly.

King of Zhenbei!

Why is he here?

Xie Roujia shouted in her heart. And Zhou Chengzhen shouted out.

"I'm getting better, and I heard you're in a hurry to see me. I'll come here. King Zhenbei said slowly, his voice was weak, and he was still wheezing as he spoke, and as he said this, he slowly raised his hand and lifted the hat that covered his head.

Zhou Chengzhen's hand hanging by his side clenched violently, and at the same time, he noticed that Xie Roujia's hand, who was standing behind him and grabbing his arm, was also violently forced.

The pain of grabbing him hurt, Zhou Chengzhen couldn't help baring his teeth, but he didn't look away. looked at the old man with a face in front of him.

He must have been fifty-five years old, but his wrinkled bark-like face was completely unrecognizable, as if he were hundreds of years old, and he could not tell anything because of the wrinkles, except for his narrow eyes and thin lips.

This is the same as Zhou Chengzhen.

But it's not quite like the king of Zhenbei when he got married five years later, he was older at that time, and he couldn't even see this characteristic when he was old.

Xie Roujia lowered her head and stood behind Zhou Chengzhen, but the next moment King Zhenbei's words made her body stiffen.

"It just seems that you're busy." King Zhenbei continued slowly. The long, narrow, godless eyes looked at Zhou Chengzhen, and also at Xie Roujia behind him.

Xie Roujia's hair stood on end, as if she had returned to that life, when Zhou Chengzhen's teasing of herself was revealed. Listening to the servant's identification, King Zhenbei, who was lying on the bed, looked at that time.

This time it was even more embarrassing than the servant's identification, it was the king of Zhenbei who saw it with his own eyes.

Xie Roujia couldn't help but step back. Zhou Chengzhen didn't look back and seemed to notice, grabbing her wrist behind him. Brought her to him and patted her on the shoulder.

"Not busy. I'm very idle, playing with my daughter-in-law. He raised an eyebrow.

King Zhenbei frowned slightly, but because his face was full of wrinkles, this frown was not obvious.

"Bad morals! Is this the kind of rule in the capital? He said.

"You don't have to worry about that, it's a matter for the two of us." Zhou Chengzhen said and patted Xie Roujia.

King Zhenbei snorted and stopped looking at Xie Roujia.

"What's the matter with me?" He said, debunking the topic.

Xie Roujia also calmed down.

That's right, it's not that life now, and she's not the princess of Zhenbei, and it's not like being caught raped...... Ahh

She pushed Zhou Chengzhen away, stood aside and put on her gown with an indifferent expression.

"Say it, I'll quit first." She said.

Zhou Chengzhen grabbed her arm.

"There's nothing to say." He pulled Xie Roujia out, looked at King Zhenbei seriously and said, "I just want to see what you look like, and now I see it and say goodbye." ”

After that, he raised his feet and took a step, Xie Roujia was pulled out by him before he came back to his senses, and walked out of Fanghua Garden in three steps and two steps, and there seemed to be the shout of Amu's helpless prince behind him.

"What are you doing?" Xie Roujia shook off his hand, "Isn't this a meeting?" Why don't you speak? ”

Zhou Chengzhen sighed.

"With strangers, I don't know what to say." He said.

"Stranger, he's your grandfather." Xie Roujia said.

"So what?" Zhou Chengzhen glared at her, "Should I just kneel and hug him and cry?" ”

Kneeling and crying.

When he said this scene, Xie Roujia couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Okay, if you want to get away with it, although I want to see him, I have to make him want to see me even more." Zhou Chengzhen whispered to her again.

Xie Roujia stood a few steps and stepped into the courtyard first.

But until dinner was delivered, the king of Zhenbei did not come to see Zhou Chengzhen.

"It seems that your grandparents think the same." Xie Roujia said, reaching for the bread on the table.

Zhou Chengzhen slapped her hand, picked it up and broke half of it and ate it herself.

After eating a few bites, he handed the other half to Xie Roujia.

The meals have been like this for the past few days, and all the food, including tea, was eaten by Zhou Chengzhen before she was allowed to eat.

"It's not like I can't tell if it's poisonous or not." Xie Roujia pursed her lips and said, taking half of the bread he handed over.

"Then consume, see who consumes whom, anyway, I'm younger than him." Zhou Chengzhen smiled and drank the tea soup.

Ran used his own bowl and filled another bowl of tea soup and handed it to Xie Roujia.

"Oops, Zhou Chengzhen!" Xie Roujia shouted and glared.

"Haven't you seen a bowl or spoon poisoned?" Zhou Chengzhen also stared.

Xie Roujia snorted.

"I won't drink your saliva if I poison myself." She said, taking the bowl and scooping it up again, and tilted her head to drink.

Zhou Chengzhen looked at her with a complicated expression.

"I don't know the hearts of good people." He said indignantly, lowering his gaze.

…………………………………………………

The night was dark, the room was dim, and Zhou Chengzhen, who was lying on the carpet, turned over violently and reached out to lift the curtain.

In the darkness, the girl on the bed lay flat on her back, her arms exposed outside the quilt, and she fell asleep deeply.

"Xie Roujia, Xie Roujia." Zhou Chengzhen shouted in a low voice.

The girl on the bed didn't wake up as instantly as she did when she was walking in the wild, and she didn't even move when Zhou Chengzhen stretched out her hand to push her.

I slept so deeply.

Zhou Chengzhen looked at her quietly, suddenly stretched out a finger and carefully stroked her lips, then retracted it violently, pressed the finger on her lips, and was stunned for a moment before putting down the tent, getting up and walking out.

Silence returned to the room, and the interrupted night bugs outside began to murmur again.

After a while, with a hand stretched out in the tent, Xie Roujia got out of bed, looked at the empty carpet under her feet, put on her shoes and walked out.

The chirping of the night bugs didn't even stop.

At night, the Zhenbei Wangfu is more desolate than the day, and the entire mansion is not lit at all, which looks eerie and terrifying.

Xie Roujia slowly approached Fanghua Garden, the door closed as if it were daytime.

She stood silently for a moment, then turned to a corner and pressed against the wall, climbing and tumbling into it like a gecko.

Everything was silent, not even the night breeze was stirred.

The room where she had lived was dimly lit and a figure appeared on the lattice.

Xie Roujia walked over slowly, and the figure on the window sash turned.

“…… See how good she is, right? You people don't know about it, but she can find it. ”

Zhou Chengzhen's voice came out, with a little smugness.

“… Finding your true place to live shows that the people I brought are what you want. ”

A real place to stay.

It turned out that Fanghuayuan was not a special residence for her at all, but had always been the residence of the king of Zhenbei.

Xie Roujia stood outside the window as if she was one with the night.
