- Although the boatman skillfully controls the sailing route in the shallow sea, so that the boat is more stable and will not encounter strong wind and waves, such a swaying and undulating environment is still not suitable for contemplation and pranayama. However, if you don't want to do anything when you sit on the boat, it is like sitting in the cradle of a loving mother's slow push, which is a good environment for lying down and sleeping peacefully.

The sea is very quiet, it is a kind of heaven and earth breath into one, breathing at the same pace, and the tranquility of the world. The sound of the waves brushing the craggy sea rocks came from a distance, and it seemed that it was always stepping on a steady step, and this voice naturally had no treacherous edge. The chirping of seabirds is a natural accompaniment.

Mo Ye endured the drowsiness that gradually welled up in her mind, and looked out of the cabin with wide eyes, only to see a blue ocean all around, in such an environment, she could not escape, and no one else could enter, which could be regarded as a cage and a kind of natural protection. In a situation where there is no other choice, either feel hopeless or suffer in silence and enjoy.

At this time, he didn't have to think about anything, but when this sea route was over and he landed on the shore, it was more likely that the escape and struggle would continue endlessly.

Walking on the sea, because there are no road signs, it is easy to lose your way, and it is easy to ignore the speed of the boat. Mo Ye sat quietly for a while, feeling the ups and downs of the hull, and then she suddenly had an illusion: Could the boat have stopped?

After staying in Kyoto for three years, Mo Ye had no experience in boating, and at this time she only vaguely felt that the hull of the ship was about to rise and fall all the time, and this law was too simple. She looked away and tried to look over the shore of the reef, but apparently the owner had a plan and didn't want her to remember the path the ship had taken, so he closed the window of the cabin towards the landing shore.

At this time, her hands and feet were still tied with ropes, and they were fixed to the iron rings of the two hook ropes in the cabin, and she didn't even have room to stand up, let alone push the window.

The owner of the ship did not invite her to come and see the sea to relax. She was now a hostage, and it was unknown whether she would be a living or dead hostage next, but her killer didn't paralyze her and slap her with a knife. It's already a big face.

Mo Ye's mind to escape has never slackened, including this time, so somewhere on the sea where there seems to be no way out, she is becoming more and more calm.

At this moment, actions such as yelling and swearing will not only not have any effect, but may anger the person holding you hostage. She would not make such a superficial mistake, and the temporary cooperation could give her time to think soberly. And if she provokes the killer. was directly stunned, and then opened his eyes and went to the gallows, then he really didn't even have the slightest chance to escape.

So on the surface, it seems that she has been quite obedient and cooperative since she got on the boat, and has been quiet. It seems to be a little white rabbit frightened by the hunter's ferocious methods.

Of course, this is not the case, just say that Ling Li, who is in the same cabin with her now, will not believe that the young girl sitting quietly opposite will be a well-behaved character. She is indeed very obedient when she is in complete control, but once she is given the opportunity to break free, she often behaves unexpectedly. Before that, several times in a row almost let her escape.

Ling Li swallowed a few more pills after getting on the boat, then tied Mo Ye to his line of sight with a rope, and then sat down in the cabin, leaning against the deck and resting for a while. At this time, the environment he was in was impossible for him to let go of his guard and sleep soundly. He just took a nap and woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the hostage opposite, looking at him with wide eyes. Her stiff expression made him feel a little weird.

Is it because I've been too tired lately? So much so that the mind is uncertain?

Ling Li took a deep breath, and his right hand, which hung down at his side, moved, habitually taking the black umbrella that was lying across his lap. The handle of the umbrella is the scabbard, and when his mind is uneven, he is used to pulling out his sword and wiping it carefully. In the past few days, because of this mission, some strange thoughts have often popped up in his heart, although they are short-lived, but this is a feeling he has never felt when he has been on a mission before.

According to Uncle Fu Jian, who taught him martial arts, if a killer does not have the will to move, if he has the slightest distraction in the face of the target person, this is an extremely dangerous thing. When facing a target person, it should be like facing a grass or a tree, just think about how much force you want to cut down. There are thousands of plants and trees in the world, and if you have compassion, this kind of feeling is not only extremely humble, but it is also very likely to cause you to fall and be harmed by it.

When Ling Li had not yet debuted, when he was practicing swordsmanship with his brothers and sisters in the sect, he also heard and saw the tragic situation of other killers in the sect who failed in their missions, including many of them because of a moment of soft-heartedness, and was brutally killed by the target task.

Whatever the reason, it is very difficult for a killer to have friends outside the sect, because you don't know if your friend's name will appear on the assassination list sent by the sect one day in the future. And a killer is even less likely to form a friendship with the target who is about to be assassinated, and in order to hold the sword in his hand, a killer should have the determination to treat anyone as a dead thing.

The sharp left hand held the middle of the black umbrella, and the next moment, his right hand holding the handle of the umbrella was about to draw the sword from the sheath.

At this moment, the voice of the woman on the opposite side came, and there was a trace of imperceptible apprehension hidden in the sigh: "I didn't expect that the umbrella that shielded people from the wind and rain could become such a powerful murder weapon in an instant."

Ling Li glanced at Mo Ye, and then he let go of his right hand holding on the end of the umbrella handle.

It wasn't that he was touched by her words, but that it occurred to him that wiping a sword in a swaying boat didn't seem to be a safe thing to do.

And at this time, he also realized that the boat seemed to have stopped at sea and did not move any further.

Holding his black umbrella, he stood up and headed for the bow of the boat.

――――

Kyoto is the second most prosperous capital city in the Shokoku Mall, but no matter how many goods enter and leave the city and coastal ports every day, no matter how many people flow through the Sifang Gate every day, no matter how much live silver is circulated between merchants and ordinary people every day, and how much tax revenue the imperial court can collect, the prosperity and hustle and bustle of this capital seem to be unable to exaggerate the tranquility of the bamboo forest in the south of the city.

It is impossible to occupy a high mountain area in the realm surrounded and guarded by the capital, but this bamboo forest leans on a large mountain, a mountain made of huge garbage. This bamboo forest is also leaning against an unnamed lake with majestic water resources, but the water in this lake is green all year round, and I don't know if it will be slowly poisoned after drinking.

Perhaps it is because of these two strange reliance that no one in the capital wants to do business near this side. I don't even want to live too close to here. Except for the extremely poor and some wandering beggars who are willing to make a simple home in the vicinity of this area, only monks who are simple and indifferent to life and death will be willing to stay here for a long time, right?

Perhaps there is a deeper reason why these monks are stationed in the temple in the bamboo forest, but at least everyone thinks that the reason is so simple but unshakable. Because they are willing to let go of things that others are unwilling to let go of in many ways, they can fully grasp the tranquility of this small temple in the bamboo forest.

However, the quiet atmosphere of the small temple was stirred by the arrival of a guest today.

A quiet meditation room in the depths of a small temple's compact building, shortly after a plain-clothed monk and a green-shirted guest stepped in, a sound similar to a quarrel erupted inside.

"It's just for you to pull out the lot, do you need someone else to do it for you?"

"You don't believe in divination yourself, why do you impose it on me?"

In addition to a hardwood bed, there is only a low table at the head of the bed, and the owner of the meditation room seems to feel that it is redundant to put a stool in the room. Cen Chi and the monk Xixin, who were sitting on the ground facing each other, suddenly spoke at the same time after being silent for a long time, and their tones were full of narration.

At this moment, Cen Chi lost his usual good temper at all. Xixin also suddenly lost the quiet state of mind that a monk should have. However, this scene can only be seen by the two of them, just as their original friendship will never be known to others.

After saying a sentence at the same time, the two closed their mouths at the same time and fell silent again.

It seems that since the meeting after entering the temple, the two have been tacitly playing dumb riddles. But this tacit understanding is only embodied in the form, if you open up to speak from the heart. Both of them seemed to be at odds with each other.

I don't know how long it took for this tense quiet atmosphere to be broken by a sigh from Xixin. He said slowly: "I already know about him, what are you doing here in a hurry during the strict investigation in the city?"

Cen Chi said without thinking: "I want to see the map of that place in Qingchuan."

His reply was quick and direct, so direct that Xixin was a little surprised, and he didn't understand what he wanted.

Xixin shook her head. "I used to have it, but it burned down a few years ago."

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Cen Chi's mouth, and he said, "Senior brother, are you really going to be a monk here for the rest of your life chanting scriptures and ringing the bell?"

Xi Xin said indifferently: "I used to be the same door as you and me. I don't think I heard what you just said. If you don't keep your tongue in check, don't blame me for throwing you out. ”

"Even if you enter the Buddha Gate, you used to be my senior brother. I will always respect you as my senior brother from now on. Although we don't have many disciples in the North Fence line. But habits and personalities are always very close. So, Senior Brother, you should know that even if you say you want to throw me out, I will continue to keep my mouth shut. Cen Chi said this. added: "What's more, the two masters of the Xiangfu who came with me today are waiting outside the temple gate."

"My martial arts practice. And not a secret. After Xi Xin said this, he let out a breath abruptly, and he gave up continuing to argue with Cen Chi on this trivial issue, but he still didn't change the meaning of the seal, and when he opened his mouth again, he just repeated what he had just said: "I really burned the map." What do you want that thing for?"

"Alas! If our master knew that his only disciple really planned to be a monk for the rest of his life, would he be angry to death?" Cen Chi sneered and pretended to sigh, and then said, "And if he knew that his descendant disciple had stolen the map of Qingchuan that he had drawn for several years to complete. But in order to set a fire to ashes, will he vomit blood three times before being angry to death?"

Xi Xin frowned slightly when she heard this. Because it involved his mentorship before entering the Buddha's door, although he opened his mouth, he lowered his voice and reminded Cen Chi: "Uncle is always a teacher, the origin of the same door." You have a little virtue on your lips. ”

"If I were the one he had taken captive and been held up like a prisoner for thirteen years. I will not forgive him as you do today. Cen Chi said, took out a stack of paper from his arms, and slapped it on the ground in front of his knees. Immediately afterwards, he took out two similar stacks of paper from the left and right sleeves and slapped them on the stack of papers that had been slapped on the ground before.

Xi Xin didn't care about the disrespect for the seniors in Cen Chi's words, and only focused on the stack of papers on the ground, and then raised his eyes and glanced at Cen Chi suspiciously.

"What our senior brother did, my senior brother also did. However, he took longer and was more careful with his drawings, so a rat who had infiltrated his house to steal a mess of manuscripts had been stolen. Cen Chi explained as he laid out the stack of papers on the ground one by one. You've seen that big picture, although now that big picture has been burned by you, but you must still remember the overall direction, help me sort out the order of these remnants! ”

said the words of the request, and invited the request, but there was no sense of 'please' in Cen Chi's tone.

Xi Xin was noncommittal, just picked up a piece of paper, and after looking at it carefully for a while, he said with doubts in his tone: "This is too vague, but I can see some shadows of the layout of the battle strategy." What are you going to do, Senior Brother Lin?"

"As early as more than 20 years ago, our uncle, as a new generation of artists in the Northern Fence lineage, was free to leave the master to find a king who was willing to assist, and finally he chose to stay in the Northern Kingdom. At that time, he built a secret army for the monarch of the Northern Kingdom in Qingchuan, for which he composed a map of extreme detail. But then you stole it, and the matter was put on hold for the time being. ”

Cen Chi said this, and the hand that was placing the paper paused. He looked up at Xixin and pondered for a moment before continuing, "Maybe the plan to garrison the troops has been suspended, and your stealing of the map has only partially troubled it. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty had not yet died, but it was chaotic enough, and it was easy to ignore the small actions behind the big river in the west. At that time, Wang Chi was still in the north. It was probably from that time that he planned to send a lot of spies to the north, and the matter of the garrison should have made him smell it. When Wang Chi went south to the east, entered Kyoto and changed his name, and mastered all the legion forces of the country, the northern country wanted to station troops under the cover of the great river of Qingchuan. It's not that easy. ”

Xi Xin's brows were slightly locked, and he shook the piece of paper between his fingers and asked, "What do you mean by this, since a few years ago, Wang Chi has been monitoring Qingchuan's small movements, and in fact, he has not relaxed his plan to occupy Qingchuan for a moment." And just in the near future, there will be a move?"

"There should be a big move in the near future, but it's just a matter of preparation, and it started a long time ago." Cen Chi nodded and replied, and a trace of gloom suddenly slipped in his eyes: "Senior brother probably came back for this matter."

Xixin groaned: "He helped Wang Chi plan the expedition to the west, which should be regarded as his business, but what are you doing now?"

"I'm going to find him, and I owe him a sorry word. If he really dies like this, I'll help him do it...... But I don't believe he died so easily. The more Cen Chi's words came to the back, the more gloomy the look in his eyes became. As he finished speaking, he sighed a little depressedly.

After being silent for a moment, he spoke again, and the gloom in his tone was suddenly swept away, and he became very solemn: "Senior brother, now I am only one step away, and only you can help me."

Xi Xin stared at Cen Chi with straight eyes, and after a while, he slowly closed his eyes, as if he was meditating on something. Seeing this, Cen Chi felt a trace of joy rise in his heart. The tacit understanding left by the same sect for several years made him not difficult to remember what his senior brother's move represented, he should be thinking about the appearance of the burned map at this moment, which is equivalent to him agreeing to help himself.

After the tea, Xi Xin opened his eyes, and he suddenly stretched out his hands, picked up all the pieces of paper on the ground, and scanned them one by one at a very fast speed.

In the process, from time to time, pieces of paper were thrown aside by him. By the time he had finished looking at the stack of papers, most of the stack had been picked out and thrown away. He laid out the last ten pieces of paper in his hand on the ground, put them together into a large rectangle, and then exhaled deeply.

Cen Chi only glanced at the large picture on the ground made of ten pieces of paper, and did not continue to examine it carefully, but clapped his hands and praised: "I can't imagine that Senior Brother has worked hard to make a picture in a secretive way, and it doesn't take half a day to show his true face in front of Senior Brother."

"The geography of mountains and rivers will not change lightly, I have seen the map of Shibo, and the restoration of the location map is just a gourd to draw a scoop." Xi Xin paused for a moment and then said, "You can't bring these drawings back to the Prime Minister's Mansion anymore, you only have to stay here for a while, is it enough for you to remember these?"

"It's not a big problem."

Cen Chi looked at it carefully for a while, then he rubbed the corners of his forehead, retracted his gaze to look at Xixin, and said slowly: "It should not be difficult to deduce that the person who stole the pictures is the prime minister's person, and I obtained these pictures from the prime minister's mansion. The third son of the Shi family asked me to do the puzzle. It's a mess of things, and I've been fighting for a long time to come up with these, and it's also incomplete, but I've already seen it in my heart. ”

Xixin heard this. Picking up one of the remaining ten pieces of paper again, and after reading it carefully, he smiled and said, "No wonder it's very blurry, it turns out that this is not the original manuscript, but you copied it." If the prime minister wants to know that you will have this hand, will he have a chill on his back?"

Cen Chi shook his head and said: "No, he has never relaxed his precautions against me, and the manuscript he gave me this time was also copied by someone else, so this is the second copy, and it is estimated that it is far from the original."

After a moment's hesitation. Cen Chi said with some confusion: "I don't understand, since he already knows about my relationship with Lin Shan, why would he still ask me to do something for him instead of sending me away?"

"Now I can give you two explanations." Xi Xin groaned, "First, he sincerely surrenders to the current emperor. For this reason. Then you help him is equivalent to helping the emperor, and you and Senior Brother Lin work together, or the friendship between you and Senior Brother Lin is no obstacle to him. The second reason may be that he has the same heart as the monarch of the northern kingdom. In the Northern Fence line, there are two heirs who are helping the two dynasties with opposite momentum, and the monarch of the Northern Kingdom has not given up the reuse of our master and uncle because of this. Do you understand?"

Cen Chi nodded and said, "I hope that the prime minister is the person in the first article you said, but looking at the one in the prime minister's mansion, it is not difficult to see the possibility of the second article, but why does the emperor seem to be unaware of it at all?"

"Shi Jing really has a talent for governing the world, and the emperor should have some reluctance to him. The time limit for observation in other places is also being relaxed. If Shi Jing does not move, the emperor will gain more than just a talent. He can observe for more than ten years in order to conquer the West, how reluctant to spend time carefully observe and test a group of talents. After saying this, Xi Xin turned around and said: "How many of these spelled out drawings have you handed over?" Although incomplete. But if it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, there are still many opportunities to destroy these battle strategy layouts one by one. ”

"I handed over some, but I changed a lot of the pictures that were handed over." Cen Chi thought for a while and said, "I'll go back later, I'll have to find a way to change the order of some more diagrams."

"Nope." Xi Xin raised a hand and shook it at Cen Chiping's palm, and said, "You can't move the drawings in the Prime Minister's Mansion anymore." If the prime minister is really rebellious, once his previous behavior is seen by him, even if you don't change the lines on the map, but only reverse the order of some parts, this is enough to make him kill you. ”

After a little thought. He added: "If there is no chance to defend, then attacking is also a way to defend. I suddenly understood that there was a necessary meaning for you to go to Qingchuan, and this meaning was not just because you were looking for his location. ”

Receiving the approval of the senior brother, Cen Chi secretly felt happy in his heart, but he quickly sighed again and said, "I don't want to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion either." The prime minister seems to have made people engrave official seals, and the day before my brother's accident, I accidentally saw a copy of the emperor's seal in the hands of that group of people. I'm not entirely sure if my brother's business was done by them, but when I think about it, I just have to think about it. I felt sick when I was there. ”

"It's unlikely...... Xixin's eyes showed a look of surprise, "Even if he dares to carve, he may not dare to use it." This kind of stuff can attract attention from many quarters when used once. Although this method is very strong, it is also very easy to set yourself on fire. ”

Cen Chi didn't say anything immediately about this, and after hesitating for a moment, he reached out and probed deeply into the innermost part of his underwear in his arms, and finally touched something after a long time. He took it out and placed it in front of Xixin's knee.

Xixin's gaze naturally fell on that thing.

Cen Chi took out a piece of wood with a somewhat strange shape, and Xi Xin's gaze only focused on the block for a while, and he could already see the 'identity' of the piece of wood, and said softly: "This is something that Senior Brother Lin likes to fiddle with."

After being silent for a while, he withdrew his gaze from the wooden block and turned to look at Cen Chi. hesitated: "You ......"

"I haven't gone to see him yet." Cen Chi shook his head, and said, "This kind of thing was accidentally dropped by the person who forged the official seal when I accidentally bumped into it in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Did that man suspect you?" Xi's heart froze.

"I can't talk about it." Cen Chi reached out and took the wooden block that was placed on the ground. Slowly rubbing it in the palm of his hand, "This thing is inconspicuous from the outside, at a glance, it is a corner of the wooden board that the carpenter sawed off when making furniture. The man couldn't tell where it came from. I didn't even know the significance of this thing, which he really didn't want me to notice at the time. It's a fake seal in his hand, and he doesn't care about the loss of such a thing. Walked in a hurry. At that time, he probably wouldn't have worried that I would see the mystery of this wooden block, because he didn't know where my teacher came from. ”

"But the prime minister knows, and his son knows." Xixin suddenly spoke, and his tone was filial piety. "You said that just now, and you know they know."

"That person won't sue the prime minister about this, such a mistake will ruin his future." Cen Chi shook his head slightly, showing that he was not worried about this matter, "I have observed this person, although he is not a traitor to seek glory, but he is not a person who disregards interests for the sake of loyalty and righteousness. ”

A slight sarcastic smile appeared in Xixin's eyes, and he said: "Of course, you can enter the prime minister's eyes and become a guest of the prime minister's house." Although the prime minister values the talents of these staff, the basic character cannot be bad, at least not because of this little detail. ”

At this point, he paused, and the cold and slightly sarcastic smile in his eyes gradually faded, and in the end, only Yan Sù remained. He looked at Cen Chi. He spoke again in a warning tone: "I have no right or interest in judging others, it's just you, I don't want to see you have any mistakes or damages......"

Speaking the last word of this sentence, Xi Xin suddenly sighed, and there was a complex meaning in his eyes. Cen Chi recognized the worry and concern in the look in his eyes, as if he had touched a memory that had not been turned over for a long time somewhere in his heart. He didn't answer Xixin's words, just hung his head.

After a moment of silence, Xi Xin slowly spoke, "You said you don't want to stay there anymore, then leave!"

When Cen Chi heard this, his head, which had been slowly lowered, suddenly raised, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. But the excitement quickly settled into a dark layer of color under the eyes. He also exhaled lightly and said slowly: "Actually, I brought these drawings to Senior Brother today, just to prepare to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as I get the result, regardless of whether Senior Brother agrees or not." But now I have the support of my brother. The stubbornness in my heart naturally dissipated, and after calming down, there was filial piety. ”

Xi Xin suddenly laughed a few times, looked at his junior brother who was sitting opposite him and was suddenly worried about himself, and said slowly: "You also know that you are ready to be stubborn again?" No one is looking at you, but your temperament has grown. ”

――――

In the study, Ye Zhengming, who was sitting behind the desk, looked like a dagger, stabbing his daughter's head hanging very low at this time. After a long silence like ice, he suddenly spoke: "Such nonsense, if I hadn't gone to the girls' school yesterday, I should still be hidden by you!"

Ye Nuonuo, who was standing opposite the desk, didn't dare to look at her father, but suddenly heard her father's voice coming, and before she could hear her father's words clearly, her body trembled, obviously she was too scared, so naturally she didn't dare to say a word.

"Scared? If you know that you are afraid, you dare to do that thing?" Ye Nuonuo's shoulders trembled and fell into Ye Zhengming's eyes, but the anger in his tone did not diminish at all. He just slapped the pen on the table suddenly, and all the pens hanging on the pen rack on the table trembled obviously.

This move does not mean that his anger is over, looking at his daughter who has not taken half a step back, he roared again: "It is better for my father to break your leg than if you were harmed by others!"

Ye Nuonuo pursed his mouth, bit his lip tightly, and still didn't say a word.

At this time, a woman's painful moans suddenly came from outside the house.

The sound of the woman moaning in pain was cut off from the sound. The Ye Mansion does not occupy a large area, and the courtyard structure is simple, so the woman's painful moans came through the wall, revealing a sense of self-suppression and irrepressibility, and the father and daughter in the house could hear it clearly.

And the woman's voice was very familiar to Yenuo, so she could quickly guess what the woman was being punished, and it was not difficult to imagine the scene where the servant in the palace held a wooden stick in his hand and slapped the woman's back one by one.

At this time, although the woman who was punished by the family law was just a foreign girl bought home by her father, Ye Nuonuo and her already had a sisterhood. The people she cared about had to bear the pain of punishment for herself for no reason, which was something that Ye Nuono couldn't accept, and the cry of pain was undoubtedly cutting her heart.

Ye Nono's tears suddenly fell, and her shoulders trembled. The biting lip finally let go, and the hanging head slowly lifted a little, and she looked at her father, who was still sitting opposite her, angry. The voice was not very smooth: "Father, you punish your daughter!" Please don't embarrass Sister Yu! ”

"You know begging for mercy now?" Ye Zhengming stared at his daughter and said in a cold voice: "At the beginning, you asked that girl to act as a cover for you in the women's school, so that you could sneak out of the women's school without being suspected by the dean." Did you think about it today? At that time, not only did she not dissuade you, but also helped you violate the rules of women's schooling, indirectly making you learn more and more wildly, and betrayed the promise she made to me when I bought her into the house.

After listening to his father's words, Ye Nuonuo also understood more deeply that his behavior was inappropriate, and hurriedly said seriously: "It was my daughter who was presumptuous and ignorant before, and after my father's teaching today, my daughter will definitely change."

After sorting out the feelings, I accumulated some courage in my heart. She spoke again: "However, if the father punishes for the sake of punishment, the daughter will not accept it!"

"Punishment for punishment's sake?" Originally, hearing that his daughter took the initiative to admit her mistake and seriously made a guarantee, Ye Zhengming's heart was relieved. However, the words that Ye Nuono said later suddenly ignited the anger that was slowly precipitating in his heart. After seeing the sluggish expression in his eyes, he soon smiled coldly, stood up from the chair behind the desk, and then said coldly: "Good one to punish for punishment, since you understand, then stay quietly in this room and accept 'punishment'!"

He said and stepped out from behind his desk. Then he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the study door.

Ye Nuonuo was slightly frightened in his heart, and as soon as he turned around, he saw his father's back disappearing into the closed study door, and then his command voice came in: "Come on, lock the study and watch the window." If you let the young lady sneak out again. You don't have to do it here! ”

There was no father in the study, and after his father's words outside the house, there was no other voice. In the lonely and quiet surroundings, not far away there was a sound of the maid Xiaoyu moaning in pain, like an awl piercing Ye Nuonuo's heart.

Her father didn't directly have the board hit on her. Only let Xiaoyu suffer from punishment, maybe he knew that although Ye Nuonuo and this maid were masters and servants, they had cultivated a sisterhood, so he would use this method to stab Xiaoyu's heart with a painful moan.

This is what she just said, and which he acknowledged, 'punishment for punishment'.

There were still a few chairs in the study, but Yenono sat directly on the cold and hard floor of the study, which was paved with smooth stone slabs, and his tears overflowed even more fiercely.

She knew that Xiaoyu was going to completely bear the past, and her father didn't give her a chance to explain and intercede at all. She regretted the sentence she had said so directly in front of her father to describe the punishment, and she felt that when she said that, his father's eyes showed the meaning of 'understood'. If not, do you still have the opportunity to dissuade yourself? Wouldn't it provoke his father's anger more intensely and lead him to throw out the door?

A quiet atmosphere is indeed conducive to clearing one's mind and repenting earnestly.

Although Ye Nuonuo is playful and extremely stubborn, she is not a bad boy with a crooked personality. Surrounded by Xiaoyu's painful moans, she sat alone and cried for a while, thinking back to what her father had just said to her, although she was also annoyed, but she also realized for the first time the pain of the consequences of recklessness without considering the consequences before doing things.

After stomping her foot in annoyance, she stood up and walked under a bookshelf, then crouched down again.

Leaning on the bookshelf, she casually pulled out a book and smashed it on the ground to smash her anger, after smashing one book, she felt a move in her heart, and after hesitating for a moment, she pulled out a second book and smashed it, and then there was a third book...... Book 4......

Ye Zhengming's mansion is not big, but the back house is still equipped with a wing room for receiving guests to stay overnight, but now the Ye family no longer has any close relatives in this world, and this wing room has been vacant.

The first time this house was used today to receive a guest, but it was a badly injured cloth.

ps: The mood is a little depressing, not a beautiful article, writing for a long time will affect the mood, but I must write it, ...... There is still a long way to go, and the only way to do it is to speed up. (My fingers are numb, alas)
