Shan Qiao's face changed suddenly, and he was busy pulling Lian Zhi'er to leave, but he saw that the door where Shi Cai came in had been closed.

They are like voles in cages, left to be slaughtered. Presumably, the Beiliang people are just a trap set by Ruan Lu.

Qingqi looked at him, "I was the one who killed you, and it was my fate to get to this point, if you let go of Shan Qiao, you just take my life." ”

"Is this the time for you to bargain with me? It seems that this son of the world was still too soft-hearted before, so that you can't see the form so clearly today. The shop was surprisingly quiet, and his voice grew deeper.

"He's just a sinister and despicable person, so why bother looking at him again." Shan Qiao beside him had endless hatred on his face, "When he ordered someone to push my brother into the well, I knew that he was a wolf with ambition. ”

"It turned out to be you." Ruan Lu smiled, but it seemed to affect the wound on his chest, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "I actually forgot your surname Shan." ”

Only then did Lian Zhi'er know that he had been defeated, and Ruan Lu would not be soft on anyone.

He really slowly pulled out the saber on his waist, there was already killing intent in his cold eyes, and the cold tip of the knife pointed at Lian Zhi'er's throat.

Lian Zhi'er slowly closed her eyes, there was no hatred or anger on her face, just indifferent, as if she had ended all the pain.

Feeling the cold wind blowing through her ears, Lian Zhi'er didn't feel the pain, but she clearly heard the sound of the blade cutting through the flesh and bones, and she opened her eyes in fear. saw that Shan Qiaoyi beside him had fallen in a pool of blood.

Lian Zhi'er hurriedly knelt down and hugged her body, and soon her clothes were soaked with blood.

"I did all this, you just kill me." Lian Zhi'er stared at Ruan Lu deadly, but there was endless hatred in her eyes.

"Is what you've said all these days true? Would you like to come back to the capital with me? He looked at her condescendingly, and he knew how hurtful she would reply, but he asked anyway.

Lian Zhi'er hooked her lips and smiled, and the woman in her arms gradually lost her breath.

She had just opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Ruan Lu's shouting, and there was an unconcealable tremor in his voice. "Shut up."

Lian Zhi'er looked at him almost crazy, and his eyes were actually a mist, and he only laughed out loud, "Ruan Lu, you are destined to lose to me in this life, I don't love you so I am more ruthless than you, but you don't even dare to kill me now, do you?" ”

The angry Ruan Lu was like a mad beast, he almost came up viciously, and choked Lian Zhi'er's neck, "Then you will rot and die here, you will not be pardoned in this life, and you will not be able to return to Beiliang." A cold light appeared in his eyes, "Lian Zhi'er, this son will completely forget you one day." ”

Lian Zhi'er smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for that day." ”

Ruan Lu slowly turned around and walked out. While saying, "Shi Dye will come soon, and this son wishes you to grow old together." ”

When he said the last four words, he almost squeezed out between his teeth, which made Lian Zhi'er feel a burst of coldness.

Ruan Lu walked out of the jewelry store, but saw that Lord Dong was already waiting not far away, and he saluted respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, your carriage has been prepared, but the wounds on your body have not yet healed, how can you not afford to run around and work hard." ”

Ruan Lu stumbled on his feet and almost fell, his face was as white as paper, and finally slowly spoke, "Don't let Lian'er die, let her live well, live forever." ”

Lord Nadong had already sensed the unusual relationship between Lian Zhi'er and him, and asked tentatively, "Your Royal Highness, the news of Miss Lian'er, ...... you?"

Ruan Lu felt that his throat was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, "Never mention this name in front of this son." ”

——————

After being caught that day, Lian Zhi'er was not dealt with, and Nadong only said that Lian Zhi'er was coerced by Shan Qiao to leave, and he was forced to leave, and then put all the blame on Shan Qiao and Fushuang.

Lian Zhi'er was sent to do hard labor again, but Xia Rong, who was in charge, was a rare kind-hearted person, and she was not bad to the remaining women.

It's just that the dam of the Yellow River collapsed, and the yard where they lived was also flooded, so everyone moved to the city together, and the women each had their own houses.

Lian Zhi'er was cleaning Luoying all over the yard that day, and when she heard the footsteps, she slowly raised her eyes, but she clearly saw Shi Ran's flawless face, but saw that he was dressed in brocade and had a long posture, which was very discordant with this dilapidated courtyard.

Her face turned pale, and she thought for a long time what she was going to say when she met him again, but she couldn't say anything at this time, just looked at him, as if in a dream.

Shi Ran's eyes flashed across her cheeks, but they quickly passed by, as if they didn't recognize her at all.

Lian Zhi'er only felt that one by one pierced her heart, and she thought desperately that he must have disgusted her, and now when he saw her, he remembered the shame he had received in the past.

And Luoqi, who was walking in front of him, didn't recognize Lian Zhi'er, only raised his eyes and saw a stupid woman standing there, so he scolded coldly, "Look at what." ”

Lian Zhi'er hurriedly lowered her head, tears swirling down her eyes, and finally fell into the remnants of flowers all over the ground.

But seeing that Luoqi took a step forward, he pushed the door of the main house in the courtyard open, and then complained, "This Dongsan is too much to watch people put down dishes." What kind of shabby house, how can you live in it? ”

"It doesn't matter." The sound of the dyeing was very faint, as if even the wind could blow it away.

"Could it be that the prince of the world dared to give such a house here before? It's really rampant. Luoqi kept complaining, it was really hard to imagine that there was such an arrogant minion around such an unstained person as Shi Dye.

Soon there was a sound of kicking and thumping in the room, and then the angry voice of Luoqi, "These have to be changed." ”

"And these teacups, even the most inferior minions in Beijing disdain to use them."

"These tables and chairs too." He continued.

"It seems that you have to ask for slaves and maids to serve, so that you don't suffer."

Lian Zhi'er stood there for a long time, until both legs were numb, and then turned back to his room.

At night, Lian Zhi'er never fell asleep, only looking at the wind outside the window, and her heart was a little depressed.

She was about to blow out most of the candles that had burned in the room when she heard a soft knock on the door.

Lian Zhi'er walked over and opened the door, only to feel a gust of spring breeze on his face, and his face was soft and warm.

"Mama Xia, what is the matter with you?" Lian Zhi'er hurriedly welcomed her into the house and poured her a glass of warm water.

With joy, Mama Xia only took her hand affectionately and said with a smile, "Don't be anxious, it's a good thing." ”

Lian Zhi'er's face stiffened, and he really couldn't imagine that anything good could fall on his head.

Xia Rong said with a smile, "Today, Lord Shi's house came to me for a slave, I thought about it." I only think that you are doing things properly, so they think that you are a hundred times better than others when you serve. ”

Lian Zhi'er only felt that her heart was jumping, as if something was about to jump out, and she said with difficulty, "Where can I serve Master Shi?" Mama is really exalting me. ”

Seeing her so cautious, Xia Rong felt that she was even more satisfied, "You can serve a picky person like His Royal Highness the Prince well, why be humble." ”

Lian Zhi'er didn't know how she felt, she just felt as if she was sinking in a dream, and her mind was empty.

A voice seemed to encourage her ear, "Don't you like him?" Being able to serve him is a blessing that you have cultivated in your previous life. ”

Another voice said, "He hates you now, and if he knows it's you, he's afraid he'll be angry again." ”

Lian Zhi'er finally said slowly, "Mama, don't blame, I really can't serve adults." ”

Seeing that she refused to agree, Xia Rong didn't force her anymore, but just let go of her hand and said worriedly, "Why do you have to do rough work again, you stupid girl just can't think about it." ”

After she finished speaking, she had to leave with a disappointed face, and then walked to the door, but heard Lian Zhi'er's voice coming.

"Mama, I'm willing to go."

Xia Rong laughed, "Yes, this is it." ”

The next day, it was just dawn. Shi Ran had already gotten up, and the officials from all over the place were already waiting outside the door, just waiting for Shi Ran to call them in.

Xia Rong came with Lian Zhi'er, only to see Luoqi standing under the eaves, and said with a smile, "This is the slave you want, and it is very proper." ”

Luo Qi was holding a tea cup in his hand, but he was a master, and he seemed to be looking at Lian Zhi'er casually, but he was stunned when he looked at her cheek.

He looked at her for a long time, as if he was pondering something, thinking about something.

Seeing his strange gaze, Xia Rong hurriedly smiled and said, "Her name is Lian'er, she is a guilty person, she used to be a young lady from a big family, and she has seen a little bit of the world." ”

Only then did Luo Qi slowly retract his gaze and mutter. "I just feel like I've seen it somewhere, but now I can't remember it."

Xia Rong smiled, "You are a person who has seen the world, but I am afraid that the ladies in Beijing will grow into such a handsome appearance, and you will naturally be familiar with it." ”

Luo Qi was noncommittal, only looked at the tea cup in Lian Zhi'er's hand, and sneered, "Don't go in to serve tea yet." ”

Lian Zhi'er's nervous heart was almost stuck in her throat, and Xia Rong made a look at her, and then she entered the house with a tea cup.

Shi Ran was sitting at the desk, holding the scroll in his hand, only looking down carefully, even if he heard the movement, he didn't raise his head half an inch.

Lian Zhi'er walked slowly and slowly, she was getting closer and closer to her, getting closer and closer, and she could almost smell the familiar sandalwood on his body.

But he never raised his eyes to look at her.

She slowly placed the tea cup in the tray in his hand, as her fingertips trembled, and the lid of the tea shook with a crisp sound.

The man who looked down at the scroll finally followed her hand and looked up, and when his pale pupils reflected her pale cheeks, she opened her mouth.

"My lord, use tea."

She had countless things to say to him, but she didn't expect them to end up like this.

Shi Ran said something inexplicable, "You didn't die?" ”

He had already heard that the eldest princess had sent someone over and gave Ruan Lu's concubine to death. He thought she was dead, but he didn't expect to see her standing alive in front of him yesterday.

Lian Zhi'er misunderstood his words, because she thought that he didn't know why she was here, so she just said lightly, "After the last time I saw His Royal Highness the Prince on the streets of the capital that day, he was exiled here and was not killed by Ruan Lu. ”

Shi Ran saw the hand hidden under her cuffs clenched tightly, but saw that it was full of ugly scars, and the frostbite that could not be removed.

Seeing his gaze fall on his own hand. She subconsciously put her hands behind her back to hide her embarrassment and embarrassment.

Shi Ran suddenly said, "I'll send you back to Beiliang." ”

Although Lian Zhi'er heard what she wanted most, there was no joy in her heart at all, he said that he would send her to Beiliang, but he didn't say that you would take her away, and even asked her to stay by her side.

She smiled, but the smile on her face was so difficult, "Master Xie." ”

Shi Dye seemed to have something else to say. But it still didn't come out.

Lian Zhi'er saw that he had finished serving tea, and saw that the shelves in the house were a little messy, so he didn't wait for anyone's orders, walked to the bookshelf and began to tidy up.

He was a great reader and most of his luggage was books.

And at this moment, I saw Luo Qi walk in, took a look around the house, and saw Lian Zhi'er, who was half-kneeling on the ground to clean up the ancient books, and finally had a satisfied look on his face.

He was about to go up to speak, but when he saw the scroll that Shi Ran had put down, his eyes did not fall on him, but on the slender figure, "These days, the Queen Mother has been thinking about easing the relationship between Beiliang and returning the bones of Ling Zun and Brother Ling to Beiliang." ”

Lian Zhi'er was suddenly happy in her heart, and she only felt that she had heard the best news at this time, so she knelt on the ground and said excitedly, "Master Xie." ”

There was no trace of waves on Shi Ran's face, and he only said slowly, "You don't have to thank me, at this time, the Queen Mother meant." ”

Once upon a time, the unbeatable county lord was so humble that he knelt down at every turn.

At this time, the chess in the room suddenly remembered who the woman in front of him was, and it seemed that an endless nightmare appeared in front of him again.

At the beginning, he was bullied by the people of Beiliang, especially his own adults, and his reputation was discredited, and he almost became the laughing stock of the world, and he was harmed by the woman in front of him.

"How are you?"

He was stunned, his mouth was wide open, and he could almost stuff an egg into it, "Haven't you already returned to Beiliang?" ”

No wonder he didn't recognize her now, and now the skinny woman in front of him, with only a handful of bones left, didn't look like the high-flying county lord at the beginning, and even the goose egg face had changed its pointed chin.

Lian Zhi'er did not speak.

Luoqi's face suddenly turned blue. And no one in the house would answer his words at all.

But he gritted his teeth, and then said loudly, "The slave is going to change someone, how can this woman serve you?" ”

It's like Lianzhi'er is a plague god, and as long as he gets it, he will die.

Lian Zhi'er looked straight at Shi Ran, as if he was waiting for his words, even if it was the last time, if he could serve him tea today, he would die without regrets.

However, Shi Ran said slowly, "Let her stay." ”

Luo Qi never thought that Shi Ran would leave this bane, and was about to refute it, but when he saw Shi Ran's faint eyes passing by, he already had a displeased look, so he quickly shut up.

When Lian Zhi'er came out of the house, he saw that Luoqi was already waiting outside.

He looked at her viciously, "I don't care how you got here, but I'm telling you, you don't want to beat the adult's idea." Otherwise, I'll kill you, you're just a slave to sin now, and killing you is as easy as trampling an ant. ”

She looked at him and said lightly, "I will tell the adults that if you gave Ruan Lu the jade pendant at the beginning, if your family knows about it......"

Hearing this, Luoqi's face suddenly changed greatly, he did send the letter given by Ruan Lu to Lian Zhi'er in order to take revenge on Lian Zhi'er, and he even sent Lian Zhi'er to the hell of Yin Si with his own hands.

"How dare you threaten me." He said viciously, "You are not allowed to tell your lords. ”

Lian Zhi'er pulled the corners of her lips, but there was a bit of evil and helplessness in her eyes, "When I was the lord of Beiliang, he was disdainful of me, not to mention that I fell into today's field today?" ”

Luo Qi was slightly relieved when he heard her words, but he saw that she was a little weaker than before, and her weak appearance seemed to be more able to affect a man's heart.

Lian Zhi'er has been serving by Shi Ran's side for the past few days, either serving tea and water, or cleaning the house.

It's just that Shi Ran is different from Ruan Lu, he never wants others to serve him to freshen up, and he gets up very early.

Lian Zhi'er stayed very comfortable, and her face seemed to gradually get better, but Lian Zhi'er always felt that she couldn't eat, and she could feel uncomfortable in her stomach just by looking at something.

On this day, Shi Ran was a little cold, and he invited a doctor to take a look.

Lian Zhi'er was also very worried, just waiting on the side, but at this moment, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and he vomited out half of the bowl of porridge he had eaten in the morning.

Shi Ran was not angry, but only told the doctor, "Go and check her pulse." ”

Lian Zhi'er's face turned a little pale, "No need, the slave is fine." ”

She was afraid that if she was sick, she would have a reason to kick her out of the house, and she would no longer be able to serve by Shi Ran's side.

But how could the doctor not listen to Shi Dye's words, but he still walked in front of Lian Zhi'er and said, "The girl's face is not good, even if she is not sick, it is good to take a look, isn't it?" ”

Ruan Lu's eyes looked at her, she gritted her teeth but still deepened her arm.

The doctor put his finger on her vein, and suddenly his face changed greatly, as if he hesitated for a moment, but still said it with difficulty.

"This girl is pregnant."

Lian Zhi'er suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and her ears were buzzing.
