"I can only feel at ease if I have something in his hands."

Xiao Gu sighed: "In the entire Hou Mansion, only the young master has no covetousness for Mrs. Zhang's property, and is more willing to take the lead for Ruyao to protect the property, and this iron box can be transported back to ensure that it will not be lost." ”

"But this is the edict of Emperor Jianwen, not Mrs. Zhang's property!"

Lan Ning was still a little worried.

"Before I opened it, this was an iron box with gold and silver hidden, and I guess the key to the iron box was in Miss Ruyao's hand."

Xiao Gu's smile was mysterious and wise, "When we go back, we will see the real mysterious wooden box - I'm also curious about what is inside." ”

The iron box contains a wooden box, and what is inside the legendary mysterious wooden box? What is written in Emperor Jianwen's edict?

She was also full of curiosity.

After sending Guangsheng away, she stood alone at the gate of the small courtyard, it was already dark, and the villages near and far gradually sounded the sound of people returning and dogs barking, and even the crows in the treetops were hoarse and perched back in the treetops.

The night wind grew stronger, blowing her skirt up, and she swept her sideburns, and suddenly noticed a drop of water falling on her face.

It's raining.

Thunder roared in the distance, and purple and white lightning streaked across the night sky, clearing the haze and igniting a thrilling glow.

The bean-sized raindrops hit her face so hot that she turned around to run back, only to find that there was an umbrella above her head that held up all the wind and rain!

She looked back in surprise - in the storm, in the darkness, the man did not hesitate to hold her, the eyes twinkling in the darkness were extremely familiar.

"It's you!"

This familiar voice made her face change dramatically! There was a buzz in her ear, and the whole person seemed to be stunned, and he pulled her back to the courtyard.

The two finally hid under the eaves, only to hear a loud bang. The rain poured down like a curtain of light.

"What are you doing here?"

Her voice trembled a little, her face was covered with the signs of rain, and her eyes were burning but she didn't want to look at him.

"Rujun, you're wandering here, but you're waiting for me?"

The man was dressed in an indigo brocade robe, and he was standing at the base of the wall and staring at her with a smile.

Her face suddenly lost its blood, and her watery eyes glared at the man—not hatred, but intense and complex feelings.

"Ah Yu - no, it's time to call you Lord Xue. You're late. ”

These words seem to be plain, but the sharp and thorny in them can only be understood by each other.

"I'm here to see you."

The man stared at her, his eyes were like jewels in a cold night, mysterious and secluded, without a trace of human fireworks, he took out a neatly folded handkerchief from his arms, and carefully wiped the rain from her face.

Xiao Gu was slightly stunned, and then shook off his hand. "You're not here to see me, you're trying to ask for the wooden box!"

She raised her head slightly, like a fried kitten, and glared at him coldly. But my heart is sour.

"I'm relieved that it's in your hands."

Jing Yu didn't show any anxiety and embarrassment, but still smiled warmly, "When it comes to being smart and quick." The fourth child is definitely not your opponent, and when I see that green brick, I almost laugh out loud - a thousand calculations. I didn't expect to be preempted by you. ”

His gaze was as gentle as water, and the smile in his eyes was almost doting.

In a trance, Xiao Gu seemed to see the blue-clothed boy when he first met him as a child.

It seems that all these years of distancing, suspicion and estrangement have never existed.

She blinked fiercely, suppressed the waves and hidden pain in her heart, and said coldly: "I am surprised that you are so magnanimous - thanks to you, I will be so seriously injured, and I will stay in this wild village to recuperate, and I will be free in the dark, so that I can discover that thing." ”

Her apricot eyes were clear and cold, but hidden sadness and anger flashed in her eyes, "You have been secretly checking for many years, but you didn't expect that the providence would let it fall into my hands." ”

"How long have you been discovering this secret?"

His smile remained unchanged, and he asked indifferently.

"Shortly after you instructed Captain Yan to secretly search in the Xungui family."

She turned her head away, unwilling to meet him coldly, "He secretly asked the servants who were careful, but they couldn't hide it from those human spirits, so I naturally received a secret report." ”

"It's not so much that I left traces, but that few people can hide your every move in the entire Jinlan Society."

He smiled and sighed: "Your eyes are wide, you are all slaves and maids in various mansions, plus Qin Yao has a tacit understanding with you, if there is no me, I am afraid that the entire Jinlan Society is already in your control." ”

"Ayu, no, big brother! When you say this, I am ashamed. Your wrists are superb and ruthless, and I have always been the only one who has been played by you! ”

Xiao Gu was stubbornly reluctant to turn around, and her shoulders shrugged slightly, but it proved the ups and downs in her heart, "When I was sent by you to snipe that high-ranking official of the Jinyi Guard, I was an outcast in your hands; When I was lucky enough not to die and was seriously wounded, you took the opportunity to use those camp prostitutes as bait, and in order to carry out your plan, you wanted to let all the people I risk to rescue die! ”

Her voice was almost whispering, with pain and anger that could not be misunderstood, and his figure flashed out of the corner of her eye, but it only burned deeper and sour—and the next moment, she found herself held tightly in his arms!

"You...... Let go! ”

She was shocked and then angry, struggling to push away, but he hugged her so hard that she almost rubbed it into her chest and flesh.

Between the two of them pulling and pushing, they had fallen into the rain, and in the pouring rain curtain, both of them were soaked by the rain and entangled together, but they were not separated after all.

"It's me who can't live with you, Rujun."

Ignoring her struggles, he whispered in her ear, "I lied to you, and I wanted to use the lives of those women to lay out the design; I also turned over your father's old accounts so that you could not be accommodated in the Cam Ranh Society—all of this qiē was made by me. ”

Xiao Gu glared at him hatefully-in the rain, his eyes were empty and distant, but it made her heart ache.

"But I never wanted to put you in danger."

There was sharpness in his eyes, but there was more depth and tenderness that she couldn't understand.

Xiao Gu gasped, but suddenly understood what he meant, she was stunned for a moment, and said with a cold wry smile: "You changed my design away, so that it is convenient to sacrifice human lives to lay out, and when I found out in time, you still set up many obstacles and forced me to go away - yes, you don't want my life, but you want more people's lives!" ”

The light in her eyes burst out, and the awe-inspiring elegance made people dare not force her to star, "You didn't want my life, but let the red note go to die - this is your new round of plan, right?!" (To be continued......)
