I thought back to my behavior in the past few days, and said in my heart, how can there be... So exaggerated?

I pursed my lips, dodged the fourth brother's gaze, paced on the ground restlessly, and defended myself: "Fourth brother, what are you talking about? We met by chance. ”

He lowered his head, put the flute on the table, and somehow diverted the topic, "I just received the second brother's flying pigeon message." ”

Second brother?

"Oh."

I didn't dare to ask more, my heart was restless, and my face was calm.

"Don't you ask, what did he say?"

I quickly raised my eyes to look at him and asked, "What did you say?" ”

He didn't hide it at all, and directly picked out the key points and said, which is what I am most interested in, "Dongfang Ying, I went to the palace to find the queen's mother." He said he wanted to marry you, hoping she could help. ”

......

He obviously said that he returned to Beiliang because of something in the Jade Underworld Sect, so he happened to go to the palace as well, and the letter from the second brother... The queen mother told her second brother everything, my God, I was miserable, this time I was dead.

I took a sip of tea, swallowed it with difficulty, and asked tentatively and softly, "So, Daddy and Mom know?" ”

The fourth brother shook his head, "No, the queen just told the second brother and said that she would ask you first to understand the situation." ”

This is even worse, if my mother knew, she might still be disciplined by her, but only the second brother knew... Then I'm done, I'm done, I'm dead.

"It's over... When I go back, my second brother is going to punish me to death... It's over, it's over, it's over ”

The fourth brother sneered, seeing me like this, he had a kind of schadenfreude, "I don't know if he is really about you, but I know that you really like him, and I don't want you to get hurt." Think about this matter, go back and tell your second brother yourself. ”

I almost vomited out the sip of tea I just drank, and I almost didn't suspect that I was hallucinating, me? Myself? Tell the second brother??

I shook my head and waved my hand at the fourth brother again and again, and muttered, "No, no, no, the second brother will kill me." ”

The fourth brother was still smiling, that look made me a little creepy, and he said, "That's also your own doing." ”

"Can you bear to see me punished?"

"Bear with me."

"You."

.......

I took another sip of tea, how can this person say that he will change, he is still so good to me and so spoiled during the day, it has only been a long time, and a man's mind is really unpredictable.

Looking at the fourth brother like that, he must have told the second brother everything about me.

It's miserable, it's miserable, I'm going to die, this time it's really dead, my mother can't save me.

No, he went to find the queen mother? How could he go to the Queen Mother?

"Then why did he go to the queen?"

I was very surprised, the fourth brother glanced at me, and replied, "Because..."

I waited for his answer, and he hesitated here, didn't speak for a long time, kept looking at me, and only after a long time spit out a few words again: "I don't want to tell you." ”

......

"Hello to yourself, I won't help you intercede with your second brother this time. I'm going out, you go to bed early. ”

After the fourth brother said this, he walked out with a flute.

I'm not too good at talking, I haven't said anything to anyone, but they went directly to someone to talk about us, alas! This time I was going to die.

Although he was told by the fourth brother, he finally slept well, did not have a nightmare, and slept until he woke up naturally the next day.

When I left the yard, the fourth brother happened to be about to go out, and looking at him like that, it was clear that he didn't want to take me.

He didn't speak to me, and I didn't say anything, but walked silently behind him.

The fourth brother knows my temperament very well, and he won't be able to stand it for long, but he will endure it.

Well, in fact, I really couldn't stand it for long, and I didn't have to go long before I grabbed his arm and wrapped around him to talk.

But he didn't say a word to me.

"Fourth brother!"

"Fourth brother, I know it's wrong, am I done?"

"Don't ignore me!"

Although, I don't know what I did wrong, the matter of the Hou Mansion, it seems that he didn't get angry, and Xie Yun and I really just met by accident, and I didn't say what to do with him.

Last time, I told the fourth brother, isn't he all fine, and he looks calm? He also knew that the Jade Sect had a great relationship with our Situ family.

The fourth brother still ignored me, my mouth was dry, but I didn't get a word of response from him, he let go of his hand, walked behind him again, kept his head down, and muttered to himself.

"Ling Gongzi, such a coincidence."

As soon as I heard him speak, I hurriedly raised my eyes and saw Xie Yun, who was dressed in ink, was already standing in front of the fourth brother, holding a peony hairpin with pearls embedded in his hand.

The fourth brother stopped, I caught a glimpse of his hand holding the sword, his fingers rubbing the scabbard over and over again, I was a little panicked, and hurriedly walked to the fourth brother's side and shouted, "Fourth brother..."

"Are you afraid I'll eat him?"

He interrupted me at once, looked sideways at me, frowned, looked solemn, and spoke to me in a tone that was extremely unpleasant.

I stopped, he looked at Xie Yun again, and said, "Ling Gongzi, can you take a step to speak." ”

I called again: "Fourth brother." ”

"Can you stop me? Ling Gongzi, is it convenient? He reprimanded me, and the latter sentence was said to Xie Yun, and the tone was better than mine.

Xie Yun smiled and responded, "Yes." ”

"You can do it yourself." The fourth brother said to me, ready to take a step, hesitated for a while, and handed the sword in his hand to me, "No, take it." ”

I took the sword and was surprised, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Then you don't have to worry, I'll hurt your family." He really seemed to be stating a fact very calmly, so indifferently.

I hurriedly defended myself: "I didn't say it...", but I don't know what to say, I think so, and the fourth brother doesn't seem to have wronged me.

Looking at their distant backs, my mind was wooden, and I couldn't keep up, nor did I stop in place.

The fourth brother doesn't seem to hate Xie Yun so much. When they met for the first time, it was clear that he was going to drink with someone, and he didn't say anything bad about Xie Yun.

Walking aimlessly on the street alone, holding the fourth brother's sword tightly in my hand, I weighed it, it was really heavy, and after holding it for a long time, my hands were a little overwhelmed.

The three things that the fourth brother likes to do the most are drinking, chanting the flute, and practicing swords.

It's rare for me to see him practice swordsmanship, because he usually works in the back mountains. Since I ran to the back mountain when I was a child and accidentally broke into my aunt's house, I was dragged by her and beaten indiscriminately, I never dared to go to the back mountain, and my mother also told me not to go again.

My mother seems to hate my aunt very much, and that time, I had a big fight with my father.

After walking for a long time, I felt a little hungry, and just passed by Baiyue Tower, so I walked in nearby, wanting to eat something first.

I don't have much appetite for food these days, but today I seem to be much better, and I have eaten a lot of dishes before I know it.

"Xiao Yan."

A familiar voice came, and I came back to my senses, and Xie Yun was already sitting next to me.

I looked outside, but I didn't see the second person, I was a little surprised, and asked him, "Where is my fourth brother?" ”

"He's gone beforehand."

Something? Did you leave me like that?

I touched the side of my face, he didn't say anything, I wanted to ask him, but I didn't know how to speak, I drank my saliva, and finally said: "He... What did he tell you? Didn't do anything to you, did it? ”

The person in front of him childishly propped his hands on the table, clenched his fists and buried his face in them, glanced at the sword in my hand, then looked at me with a smile, and asked, "What do you think he will do to me?" ”

"He didn't hit you, did he?"

He tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly and bit his lower lip, "Can you beat it?" ”

I don't say anything.

He continued: "He said, let me be with you well, protect you well, and when I return to Beiliang, he will talk to your father and mother about us." ”

"How is that possible?"

"How could it be?"

I took another sip of water in embarrassment, not knowing what was in this person's head, and saying everything so lightly that I didn't care about anything else.

"How could it be?" He asked again.

"I mean, who's going to be with you?"

He nodded, suddenly grabbed my hand on the table, and spoke softly, "If you don't get together, will I marry you directly?" ”

I didn't break free, and said, "Don't." My mother won't say yes. ”

"It's easy to do. You don't have to worry. ”

......

My mother-in-law is not as easy to talk as my fourth brother, and my second brother is even more difficult to speak.

Both of them were silent for a while, I felt some pain in my teeth, some pain in my mouth, and said to him, "I want to eat sugar gourds." ”

Without a hint of hesitation, he let go of my hand, got up and said, "Then you wait a while, I'll buy it for you." ”

I nodded, I felt a little happy in my heart, and I couldn't help but cover my mouth and smile, I didn't expect that Dongfang Ying, the leader of the Jade Underworld Sect, would one day help me run errands.

As soon as he walked out, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, "Let's eat here." ”

... I stopped laughing for a moment, Lou Yihang? I looked in the direction of the voice, my God, and Murong Ling... How can you be so unlucky.

After seeing them sit down, I gently picked up my sword, hurriedly paid the money, and walked out.

I didn't know where to go, and I was afraid that Xie Yun wouldn't find me if I went far, so I stood directly on the bridge outside, quietly looking at the flowing water below, and from time to time there were some dragonflies lit on the water, red dragonflies, but I was surprised, I had never seen it in Beiliang before.

I was fascinated by this, stood for a while, and really felt that this sword was a little heavy, and when I was about to leave, I heard footsteps and shouts in my ears, "County Lord, what a coincidence." ”

... Am I still gone? Why do you want to come along, this Murong Ling, just think of me like this? Want to talk to me?

I didn't even look at her, I still stared at the water's edge, and said, "I don't seem to know you very well." ”

She didn't say anything, but she heard Lou Yihang open her mouth for her, "Ling'er, she just greeted you, and there is no malice, county lord, why do you need to be like this." ”
