I originally thought that the atmosphere in the house was depressing enough, but I never thought that the atmosphere in the Seventh Courtyard would be far more depressing than in other places.

Nan Lingzi swallowed saliva and almost lost the courage to step in.

"Nanlingzi?" The people of the Seventh Courtyard heard the movement outside, took the initiative to open the door, and were slightly surprised when they saw Nanlingzi, so they opened the door to let him in, and said with a wry smile, "You are here, the master is in the upper house, she must be very happy to see you." ”

Not necessarily.

Nan Lingzi shrank his head weakly and asked in a low voice, "How is the relationship between Boss Xin and Gongzi Zhan?" ”

Speaking of this, the maid's already not very good face became even more ugly, and she sighed and said, "What else?" It's more serious! You are the only friend that the master can meet in the Imperial City, go and see the master! In the past two days, she has not even eaten much, and she looks a lot haggard, which is really distressing to look at. ”

"Is it so serious?" Nan Lingzi secretly took a step back.

He was starting to get scared.

He was afraid of seeing Xin Muyuan.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing his ugly face, the maidservant asked with concern, "Do you need me to call you a doctor?" You know where the main hall is, right? You go sit down for a while, and I'll call a doctor for you." ”

"No, don't bother, I'm fine, I'll go see Boss Xin." Nanlingzi hurriedly stopped the maidservant and hurriedly walked towards the upper house.

There are four rooms in the upper house, after entering the main entrance is the main hall, on the left hand side is where Xin Muyuan lives, on the right hand side is where Xie Zhan lives, and there is a small room in the east house, which was originally Mu Yi's residence, but now it is empty.

There is a dining table and four chairs in the main hall, and two rows on the left and right sides are soft. On the side against the wall, there are some books, and more books are placed in the upside-down study.

But it was too far away, and Xin Muyuan was too lazy to move, so she usually asked someone to sort out a few recent good books and put them on the bookshelf in the main hall for her to flip through.

Not only the main hall, but everywhere she frequents and rests, there will be a few such small bookshelves.

Nan Lingzi had never felt so nervous today, and sat straight on the soft messy sofa with his waist and waited for the maid to inform Xin Muyuan of the news of his arrival.

Unexpectedly, it was Xin Muyuan who was notified by the maidservant, but it was Xie Zhan who came out first.

He glanced at Nanlingzi, and his face became even more ugly.

Nan Lingzi held his breath, guessing what Xie Zhan was thinking at this time.

And this man, who was guessed by him in various ways, also quickly gave him the answer.

Xie Zhan sat on the sofa opposite Nanlingzi, his expression was indifferent, and said, "Guests are not allowed to enter the main hall, they should wait in the side hall, has no one told you about the rules?" ”

It turned out to be this!

That's right, the upper house is a private place, how can it be possible to pick up customers?

Nanlingzi hurriedly stood up, apologized again and again, and said, "It's because I don't understand the rules, I hope that Gongzi Zhan will forgive his sins, and I will go out." ”

"Wait a minute," with a "squeak", a lazy voice came, but the person hadn't come out yet, "I said it, but whenever he comes, he is waiting in the main hall, does Zhan Gongzi have any opinions?" ”

Xie Zhan's jaw trembled, and it took a while for him to ask, "Do you have to talk to me like this?" ”

As he spoke, Nan Lingzi noticed that people who had always liked to look at Xin Muyuan gently, but they didn't even bother to lift their eyelids.

Could it be that the relationship between them is really ......

It must be true.

If it's fake, how did they make it so realistic? How could they quarrel on weekdays when he wasn't there? Why do they, who have always loved each other, even have disgust for each other in their tones when they speak?

This can't happen, it's simply not going to happen!

Nan Lingzi's heart was very confused, he didn't dare to listen to what Xin Muyuan and Xie Zhan would say next, so he hurriedly said hello and fled.

Don't say it's watching, he just listens, and he doesn't dare to listen to it again.

Returning to the inn in despair, he bumped into Ling'an, who was waiting for him, and his face was even more pale as paper, and he hated the person standing in front of him and the master behind him at this time.

If it weren't for them, how could he face such a painful choice, how could he suffer such heart-rending pain, how could he endure this sin and guilt of betraying his relatives!

Sooner or later, good will triumph over evil, and these demons who have lost their conscience will pay their due!

"Smack-"

Suddenly, a crisp and loud slap knocked Nanlingzi back to reality.

His gaze made Ling An feel sick.

How dare a mere beggar respond to him with an angry gaze? It's just a villain who can betray even those who trust him with all their hearts, how dare he try to resist him!

Seeing Nan Lingzi blinking, his gaze gradually returning to the cowardice he liked, Ling'an's nausea was better, and he sneered: "Are you sober now?" Nanlingzi, how are things going? Don't forget, your brothers and sisters are still in our hands, and if you don't do what we say, if you dare to play tricks......"

Ling An made a motion to wipe his neck, and laughed in a sharp voice, ugly and rampant.

Nan Lingzi closed his eyes and said, "I know, I will do what you say, but today I want to be quiet." It wasn't until the words came out that Nanlingzi realized how hoarse and ugly his voice was.

Every word was like a knife slicing through his throat, and every saliva swallow felt like sprinkling pepper on his rotten, pus-filled wound.

For a moment, an idea popped into his head.

He knew where he should go.

Ling An's face was gloomy, and he was very dissatisfied with Nan Lingzi's passive slackness: "That's what you said two days ago, when do you plan to carry out the prince's task!" Have you not taken the task given to you by the prince to heart at all! Nanlingzi, have you forgotten that your younger brothers and sisters are still in our hands! ”

"I remember, I always remember!" Ling'an's repeated questioning repeated emphasis crushed the last straw of the collapsed Nanlingzi, and he couldn't help but roar towards Ling'an.

As soon as he turned his head, he found that Ling'an was looking at him with a shocked expression, and suddenly understood that he had said the wrong thing, rubbed his face, made a humble appearance, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, my emotions have been a little up and down in the past two days, I'm sorry to scare you." Don't be angry, I'll go now, please spare my brothers and sisters, they are innocent. ”

With that, he turned around and went back to the Ten Houses.

Ling'an stood in place in a daze, he never thought of what had happened, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the tighter his chest became. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and planned to teach Nanlingzi some lessons, so he wrote down the things of Fang Cai and the events of the past two days, and let people pass them on to the six princes.
