Chapter 246: False Claim of Illness
Since returning to the Shuai Mansion, in her room in the Forsythia Courtyard last night, Xiao Jinxuan really slept a good night's sleep very peacefully.
Since falling off the cliff, she has not only experienced a night in the jungle, but although she was taken in by Zhao Laohan, she has not really relaxed for a moment in Zhuluo Town.
So Xiao Jinxuan, who has never been sleepy and got up early, rarely slept until three o'clock in the morning this time, and then woke up leisurely.
As soon as there was movement in her room, Zhuxin and Baizhu, who had been guarding outside for a long time, immediately knocked on the door and came in, serving her to change clothes and wash.
The master and servant were separated for a few days, and when they saw each other last night, they all cried and red-eyed, Zhuxin Baizhu and Wen Xin followed Xiao Jinxuan from Yangzhou, and there is naturally no need to say much about the affection between each other.
Therefore, although Xiao Jinxuan was busy all day and was sleepy, several people still chatted until midnight yesterday, and then they dispersed to rest.
And the most surprising thing for Xiao Jinxuan last night was Chi Ling, who had returned from a few months of absence, the other party was not cold, and went alone, but got together with their master and servant, and stayed with them until late at night.
And now he has always been only responsible for protecting her safety, and he will not get up in the morning to serve the red spirit on the side, this will even stand in the room in a regular manner, and occasionally give the two of them Zhuxin Baizhu, give a hand, carry the basin of water, and hand down the towel.
Although these actions are insignificant, Xiao Jinxuan can feel that Chi Ling is becoming more and more integrated into the atmosphere of Forsythia Courtyard, and her relationship with her is also a lot closer.
After putting on a purple chrysanthemum-colored moon-patterned Luo skirt, Xiao Jinxuan wanted to walk out of the room and go to the Shen family to meet her first, but she didn't want Chi Ling to block the door at once, and immediately knelt on one knee.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan was slightly startled, and then hurriedly asked:
"Chiling, what are you doing, don't you get up quickly, why do you want to stop the door and kneel to me."
Hearing this, Chi Ling still knelt in front of the door, did not let go of the way, and clenched his hands into fists, and then lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice:
"Miss, Chi Ling is not here during this time, you have had such a big change, although you did not pursue it, but I still can't escape the blame, so after thinking about it, Chi Ling decided to explain the reason why he has been away for so long to Miss, otherwise I will not be at ease after all."
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but be very surprised when she heard this, because when Chi Ling left, she also asked where the other party was going, but at that time, Chi Ling said that it was a private matter, and there were many evasions between words, so she didn't ask any further.
But now Xiao Jinxuan didn't expect that because Chi Ling felt derelict in her duties, she wanted to explain everything herself, and immediately she refused and said:
"Since it's your own private matter, I'm afraid there will be a lot of unspeakable secrets, so you don't have to say more, just get up quickly."
Chi Ling's temperament is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and ten cows may not be able to pull back the things she recognizes, so ignoring Xiao Jinxuan's dissuasion, she actually spoke directly:
"Miss, in fact, Chi Ling is from the rivers and lakes, in the past there was a fire crow sect in the martial arts, and the head of this faction was my father, but because of the grievances in the rivers and lakes, my faction was slaughtered, only me and my senior brother escaped, and was accidentally rescued by His Royal Highness King Rui."
Xiao Jinxuan was originally only a red spirit, a shadow guard trained by Zhou Xianrui, but she didn't know that the other party still had such a past, and when she heard that it was the two brothers and sisters of Chi Ling who were spared from being killed, she immediately said with speculation:
"I heard Red Shadow call you junior sister, originally it was only the name of your shadow guard, but now that I think about it, he is the fellow senior brother who escaped with you, no wonder he always sees him taking care of you quite a bit on weekdays."
Chi Ling knelt on the ground, nodded, and was silent for a while before continuing:
"The moon is the sixth day of my fire crow gate being slaughtered, these years King Rui secretly helped, has been tracking down who gave the sect secret poison, the murderer who killed my family, fortunately God hung the curtain, and finally called me to find the enemy, now Chi Ling has been in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes, revenge, there will be no fire crow door in this world in the future, and I am no longer the shadow guard of His Royal Highness King Rui, from now on I will only follow Miss alone, be your shadow."
When Chi Ling and Chi Ying were rescued by Zhou Xianrui, they had an agreement with each other that Zhou Xianrui would give them a new identity and help them find their enemies.
But as an equal amount of bargaining chips, their brother and sister have been Zhou Xianrui's shadow guards since then and served him.
And according to the agreement of the year, as long as Chiling's revenge is avenged, and she will stay with her when the time comes, Zhou Xianrui will not interfere.
Now that Chi Ling, who has completed this agreement, has regained her free body, but she doesn't want to fight the sword rivers and lakes, but decides to stay by Xiao Jinxuan's side.
I have to say that Chi Ling's decision is inseparable from Xiao Jinxuan's usual treatment of her like a relative.
The slaughter of Manmen six years ago left a lot of trauma in Chi Ling's heart, and even today she is reluctant to show her true name.
And for a person with a character like Xiang Chiling, as long as others give her a little warmth, it will be remembered by her and feel precious.
The people of the rivers and lakes are the most affectionate, so Chi Ling is now willing to follow Xiao Jinxuan, just because she has found a sense of home in the forsythia courtyard, which makes her deeply attached to it, and she is unwilling to leave alone, drifting alone on the rivers and lakes.
Seeing that Chi Ling was completely open to herself, Xiao Jinxuan immediately had a sympathetic look on her face and personally helped the other party to stand up.
"You have said what Chi Ling said today, and I have already heard it, so from now on, let these unpleasant past events go away with the wind. You and I are not a few years apart, Zhuxin Baizhu and Wen Xin, we will all be your relatives in the future, so if you have any worries, you can let us bear it with you, your martial arts are good, but after all, a person's ability is limited, and everything must not be held on alone. ”
Biting her lip tightly, Chi Ling didn't say anything, just nodded vigorously with red circles in her eyes, and held Xiao Jinxuan's wrist tightly with her backhand.
It's not that Chi Ling doesn't want to thank the other party now, it's just that she is afraid of her own mouth, I'm afraid that before she speaks, she can't help but choke and cry.
Chi Ling was originally a silent person, but now she told herself in her heart that in the future, she would give up this life, and she would also be loyal to Xiao Jinxuan until the moment she died.
After appeasing Chi Ling a few more words, seeing that the other party's emotions had calmed down, Xiao Jinxuan immediately went out of the room, ready to visit the second aunt Shen immediately as she originally thought.
Because Baizhu told her last night that Shen was worried about her falling off a cliff recently, and she couldn't sleep all night, and she sat alone during the day and cried, and her body, which had been raised for more than half a year, collapsed a lot, and even the cough was serious again.
Yesterday when I came out of Taining Courtyard, it was really dark and it was inconvenient to disturb it again, so this morning, Xiao Jinxuan wanted to hurry up and report her safety to the Shen family, and the other party in the province was heartbroken for her.
But as soon as she walked out of the courtyard gate, Xiao Jinxuan saw Jin Chuan, and she actually walked towards the Forsythia Courtyard, and immediately she smiled bitterly in her heart, knowing that she was afraid that it was trouble, and it was estimated that it would be delayed again if she wanted to visit the Shen family.
Because Baizhu had to go to check Shen's pulse every day, Xiao Jinxuan immediately instructed the other party directly, asking her to convey it on her behalf, saying that she was worry-free, and told Shen not to worry about it, and she would visit the other party as soon as she was free.
When Bai Shu received this, he immediately didn't dare to delay it, so he rushed to the Changxin Courtyard where the Shen family lived, and after this meeting, Jin Chuan had already come to Xiao Jinxuan's approach.
After Weiwei Fuli asked for peace, Jin Chuan showed a trace of helplessness, and then said with concern:
"Miss Jinxuan, the slave maid sees that you are going out, but the old lady has an invitation, I'm afraid you have to go to Taining Courtyard with me again."
I had long expected that if I could bother Jin Chuan to come over in person, it must be the old lady's side, and she was going to be a moth again, so Xiao Jinxuan immediately smiled calmly, and then asked calmly:
"Looking at my aunt's sad expression, I'm afraid that Jinxuan will inevitably be troubled again when she goes, I also know this in my heart, I don't know that my grandmother, as well as the old lady of the Bai family who loves my handsome mansion and is domineering, has come up with any good ideas this time, if you want to be careful to get along with me, I guess my aunt must know better than anyone else."
Jin Chuan is Zhou Xianrui's eyeliner in the Shuai Mansion, for this, except for Xiao Jinxuan, I am afraid that even Zhou Xianyu is not clear.
Therefore, to this day, the old lady who still regards Jin Chuan as a confidant has always hidden from the other party no matter what she does.
So if you want to know what the old lady has plans for her, it is not wrong to ask Jin Chuan, such a good internal response Xiao Jinxuan naturally does not want to waste it, and after knowing the other party's plan first, it will be much easier to deal with.
While leading Xiao Jinxuan in front of him in the direction of Taining Courtyard, Jin Chuan shook his head and said with a frown:
"Hey! Miss Jinxuan last night, she really shouldn't be so competitive, the old lady of the Bai family just wants to find your bad luck for Miss Jinyu, but in the end, she won't really treat you like that. But now that it's okay, this old lady has called herself sick early in the morning, and her words have even indicated that she was angry with you, so the old lady asked me to summon Miss Jinxuan and ask you to come to the front to serve the sick. ”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan was immediately stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help sneering, and then said in a condensed voice:
"When they came up with some new ideas, it turned out that they were going to use pretending to be sick, putting notoriety on my head, and on the pretext of serving illness, they brought me to the front and arbitrarily instructed, wanting me to serve them like a subordinate, so I can't get on the table, and it's really a shame that they can come up with it."
Seeing that Jin Chuan was not at ease, and wanted to persuade herself, Xiao Jinxuan immediately waved her hand, signaling that the other party didn't need to say more, and then a cunning color flashed in her eyes, and then she said with a light smile:
"Since they want to act and pretend to be sick, then I'll just go and take a look, aunt, you don't have to persuade me, in fact, even if I give in more, my grandmother and sister have long regarded me as a thorn in the side, presumably if I really give in, they are afraid that they will deal with me even more, in that case, I will continue to deal with them, no matter what tricks they want to play, I Xiao Jinxuan will accompany me to the end, I want to see who can have the last laugh between us."
