Chapter Ninety-Eight: Who Knows

"Really? Why didn't I see it? Jiaowa fiddled with the spices bought on the table nonchalantly, "It's just a few small talks, I think my sister is too careful." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"yes, what can you see? Before they asked, you just told them all like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and did you still have to go to great lengths to inquire? Xue Qi glanced at Jiao Bao with disgust, then sighed a little heavily, and followed Jiao Bao to fiddle with the spices that she had just bought, "Sister, it's not that I blame you, but for your own good, there are some things we shouldn't have been involved in, or rather, we are not qualified to participate... We are like this spice, when we are pinched at random, we will naturally crush it..."

"Sister, don't spoil it, this spice is so expensive!" Jiaowa snatched the remaining spices from Xueqi's hand as if she was a little distressed, "Sister, I really don't know why you are so nervous today, usually some officials come to us, don't they also like to talk about some things in the court, they are just annoyed and panicked, come to us to relieve boredom, so they don't care so much about words, every time Yan Shifan comes, he won't tell you something... That's the kind of thing..."

"But this is not the same at all, other officials come here to say something purely for catharsis, but... But what Lord Peng said just now is definitely an ulterior motive..."Xue Qi frowned as she spoke, "Don't look at Lord Peng's words, it seems that he is very close to Yan Shifan, but the two of them secretly have their own thoughts, otherwise how could Yan Shifan call you last time... Then he asked me to go to his house to explain... In short, we must not participate in the open and secret struggle between the two, sister, do you really not understand at all, can't you see it at all? ”

"Hmm... It's not that I don't understand at all..."At this time, Jiaowa lowered her head, as if she was a little embarrassed, "I don't know why, Master Peng occasionally mentions it, and I want to tell him everything I know, as if I want to show it in front of him..."

"Sister, aren't you... Fall in love with Master Peng? Xueqi looked at Jiao Bao with some hesitation, "I guess... Right? ”

"Huh? Well... I don't know..."Jiaowa's face turned red when she heard this, "I don't feel like him either, I just think... I just think that he is different from most men, and you think, Master Peng is rich and powerful, and he became such a big official at a young age, I didn't believe it at first, people are also personable, looking at him like that, I'm afraid he is also a merciful lord. We need a home after all, we can't stay in this Yeosuyuan for a lifetime, in fact... Just now I said that whoever follows the adult is a blessing to whom, and I am deliberately tempting him, but... He didn't seem to hear it..."

"Silly sister, Master Peng is so smart, do you think he really can't hear it?" Xue Qi saw that Jiao Wa's expression was a little lonely, and she couldn't continue to speak, "In short, our sisters' lives are hard, sometimes... Don't think about things you shouldn't think..."

"What do you mean not to think? I didn't expect too much, I knew myself... But as long as I can be a concubine of Lord Peng, or I can have no name, in short, I think as long as I follow Lord Peng, he will not fail me..." So handsome... I think he's even better than some sons in the capital! ”

"Sister, you said that Master Peng should be about the same age as Yan Shifan, but in terms of talent, power, and appearance, he and Lord Peng are not half a star, you said that if you lean on the big tree of Lord Peng..." Just to say that, in fact, Yan Shifan... It's still good, after all, his Yan family is also powerful..."

"Forget it, needless to say..."Xue Qi tilted her head to the side, "You know my true thoughts, that's why I said this, sister doesn't blame you." ”

"Sister, I just... It's true that the words are a bit heavy, in fact, Yan Shifan is still good, after all, he has been blessed by him for the past year, otherwise... It's not a good time for us..."

"Sister, don't you understand my true mind?" Xueqi looked at Jiaowa, but her eyes were a little red at this time, "If others say these things to me, my sister will laugh and not take it to heart, but if you say the same, it will hurt my sister's heart." ”

"Sister, you really don't have any affection for that Yan Shifan?" Jiaowa grabbed Xueqi's slowly lowered hand and gently placed it on the table, "My sister is ignorant, I hope my sister won't blame, I just saw my sister in the middle of the banquet... I cover up a lot for Yan Shifan, and I always hint at me with my eyes, so I guess... My sister's heart is still... Towards Yan Shifan..."

"So you just saw me hinting at you with my eyes?" Xueqi's eyes lit up, and she was so frightened that the hand that Jiaowa held her trembled unconsciously.

"Look... I can see something..."Jiaowa lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "But I just wanted to help Master Peng, so... I didn't care about my sister's eyes..."

"Alas... Sister understands your thoughts, sister doesn't blame you..."Xueqi's other hand couldn't help but put on Jiaowa's hand, as if to give her some comfort, "Sister is disgusted with you... I don't know my sister's mind, you also know why our sisters were attached to Yan Shifan, where would my sister have any affection for him? The reason why my sister covered it up was for herself and for the sake of our two sisters! They are fighting openly and secretly, and we must not participate in it. If we leak some things to Master Peng, Yan Shifan wouldn't dare to do anything to him, but in the end, it was the two sisters who were unlucky. ”

"What my sister said is that my sister wrote it down." Jiaowa replied with some frustration.

"Also, if Master Peng comes here again in the future, you must be careful when you speak." Xue Qi frowned, as if she was thinking about something, "Not only that, if he comes here alone in the future, we must help him hide his whereabouts, and we can't let others know that he has been here, otherwise something happens in the future, and our sisters will be suspected." ”

"Sister, you must be too careful..."Jiaowa just wanted to raise her head and say something, but was forced back by Xueqi's gaze, "Well, I know, sister..."

"Well, it's good to know..."Xue Qi sighed softly, leaning her forehead on her arm holding the table a little lazily. Under the slightly dim light, the long eyelashes fluttered, like shining tears, indescribably charming and lovable.

"Sister, are we going to be like this all our lives, so we really can't find a good person to rely on?" Jiaowa listened to Xueqi's words, thinking of her own situation, and suddenly a sense of sadness surged in her heart, and even her voice was a little choked.

Xue Qi couldn't help but raise her head when she heard Jiaowa suddenly ask, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile to Jiaowa, "Sister doesn't know either, maybe... I'll meet it one day. ”

"Sister, sometimes when I think about it, I'm really scared in my heart, we're still young now, but in another ten or twenty years, where can we go, and what will we do then?" Jiaowa looked at Xue Qi with some pity, and her eyes became bright, "Now Yan Shifan is my sister's benefactor, but in the future... What will happen to him in the future? What should you do, sister? Have you thought about it? ”

"In the future, when there are only two of us sisters, don't mention him to me again!" Xue Qi straightened up, and even there was a ruthlessness in her eyes that she had never seen before, "Those dog officials, those rich kids, none of them are good!" They're like hungry dogs, and we... That's just what they can do... So we can only find a powerful hungry dog and let it protect us, so that we can avoid being passed on by those hungry dogs, sister, do you understand? We can only do this, only this way, we... to live like a person..."Speaking of this, Xue Qi felt nostalgic for her life experience, and actually sobbed quietly.

"Sister..."Jiaowa saw that Xueqi was sad, and then thought about her own situation, and then burst into tears, "Sister, don't be sad..."

"Okay, my sister doesn't cry, it's all your fault, clean up my sister's tears..."Xue Qi saw Jiaowa like this, and quickly wiped away her tears, and at the same time picked up a handkerchief to wipe Jiaowa, "You don't want to cry, ah?" Even though they're all hungry dogs, they can still protect us, right? Who made our lives miserable, but we have to end up in this place, although... My sister doesn't like Yan Shifan, but he did help us a lot, with him, other hungry dogs don't dare to bully us, right? ”

"It's still my sister who loves me the most..."Jiaowa grabbed Xueqi's hand to wipe her tears and gently rubbed it on her cheeks, "I also know that my sister is bitter in her heart, and my sister doesn't need to comfort me, don't say it's my sister, even I feel disgusted when I look at that Yan Shifan, he sometimes calls us sisters together... Alas... I also know that Yan Shifan is not a good thing..."

"But what can we do? I can only take one step at a time..."Xue Qi slowly withdrew her hand and said with a wry smile on the side, "He said last time that he wanted to take me into the mansion, but there are dozens of concubines in his mansion, how dare I enter the mansion with him?" I still have what he can covet now, but how many years from now? Thinking about his usual behavior, alas... I already regretted leaning on his tree, so how dare I get on his boat again? ”

"Sister..."Jiaowa suddenly raised her head, and her expression became very serious, "Have you ever thought about it... Leaning on the big tree of Lord Peng? ”

"Huh?" When Xue Qi heard this, her expression seemed to freeze, but she suddenly smiled and said, "Sister, you are a ghost, why do you always mention Lord Peng." ”

"Sister, what I said is true..."Jiaowa stared at Xue Qi's eyes, and her body involuntarily leaned forward, "You think, in terms of power, Master Peng is not much worse than the Yan family, and you and I have seen Lord Peng's personality, definitely not like Yan Shifan and others, if we really follow Master Peng, I am afraid that it will really be our blessing, the key is that he Yan Shifan will not dare to do anything to us at that time..."

"I... You're right..."Xue Qi lowered her head, but there was loneliness in her eyes that she couldn't hide, "But have you thought about it, do you want to talk to Master Peng, Master Peng... Will you want us? ”

"Huh?" When Jiaowa heard this, her open mouth froze suddenly, "I... I didn't think about this, I just wanted to be a concubine for him, and I didn't want any name. We're saying... But our fame in the capital is not blown, could it be that his concubines are better than our sisters? ”

"Sister, this time you really thought wrong..."Xue Qi smiled bitterly and shook her head, "In his mansion, not to mention a concubine, even a maid... I think there will only be a few middle-aged chefs at most, right? ”

"Huh? No way? Jiao Wa's mouth opened wide in disbelief, "Could he be..."

"At first, I thought he had some hidden ailment... But then I indirectly inquired about Yan Shifan, and I learned that he had married a wife and had a child, but unfortunately when he gave birth, both mother and son died, and he has never continued the string since then..."Xue Qi smiled and looked at Jiaowa, there was a trace of admiration in her eyes, "You see that Master Peng talked about his deceased wife, "I love her, she is the loveliest woman in the world", how gentle his eyes are, how happy, how missed, presumably Master Peng loves his wife very much, it is really enviable, But we don't have that kind of blessing anymore. ”

"I didn't expect that there really is such a thing in the world, there really is such a feeling..."Jiaowa held her cheeks in her hand, and her eyes became confused, "But... Sister, we don't necessarily have no chances, after all, he's now... It's a person, he can't be like this for the rest of his life, right? ”

"What, is it possible that you still want to be seductive like last time?" After Xue Qi said this, she laughed too.

"Oops... My sister is making fun of me again..."Jiaowa pouted with a ruddy little mouth, looking disobedient, "I mean, if we give him a true heart, will he be moved?" Will it accept us? How can you say that our sisters are also considered to be beautiful, haha..."After that, Jiao Wa was slightly delicate, raised her eyebrows, and made an extremely charming movement.

"Sister, you are too naΓ―ve..."Xue Qi nodded Jiaowa's forehead with her finger as if she was a little doting, but there was a trace of imperceptible sadness in her eyes, "I'm afraid that we will pay a true heart to others, but people don't believe that it is a true heart..."

"Is that so?" When Jiaowa heard this, she was also a little sad in her heart, "If only our sisters had met him earlier, but now we... Alas..."

"You thought it would have been nice to meet him earlier?" Xue Qi smiled bitterly and lowered her eyebrows, "There are some things, once you do something wrong, you can't go back..."

"Sister..."Jiaowa raised her head a little unwillingly, staring at Xueqi's eyes, "Then we will try to make him believe in our true heart." ”

"Huh? What do you want to do? ”

"We..."Jiao Wa looked out the window, her eyes flashing, and whispered in Xueqi's ear.

"No! How can this be! Xue Qi frowned, and her tone was a little angry, "You are really ignorant, you are not afraid of being known like this, offending Yan Shifan, he is a smart person!" ”

"I don't care, anyway, I think it's feasible, let's pretend to be confused together, as long as we do it secretively." After Jiaowa finished speaking, she pulled Xueqi's clothes coquettishly and said softly, "Sister, don't we have the right to pursue our own happiness and find our own beloved?" Now that we have the opportunity, we should seize it..."

"But," Xue Qi's tone was still a little hesitant, "but I can't be sure of it." ”

"Oh, don't worry about this, my sister is so smart, she will definitely handle it properly, hehe..." Jiaowa grabbed Xueqi's shirt and still didn't let go, "Sister, think about it, Yan Shifan has ever treated us as human beings, we are just playthings in his eyes, does my sister really not want to break free from this shackle and find a change?" ”

"Hmm... My sister is still a little worried that you will do this..."

"Isn't my sister also in love with Master Peng?" Jiaowa looked at Xueqi jokingly, "It's okay, after the deed, Master Peng is our sisters, hehe..."

"You little girl, when did my sister snatch something from you..."A burst of joyful laughter rang out in the room...
