Chapter Twenty-Four: The Coat
Qiushui Courtyard, Chunyue frowned and took a deep breath, wrapped the strip of cloth around her knees, clenched her teeth tightly, and didn't say a word.
When her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the sky that was going to be late.
"It's broken." Harutsuki jumped out of bed and was about to get the package when a cat suddenly jumped in from the window.
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
A blackened cat, with bright eyes and bulging eyes, but its four paws as white as snow, lay on the edge of the table by the window, and barked at the spring moon with a fierce momentum.
"Where did the wild cat come from, there is nothing to eat here, so don't get out of here." Chunyue covered her pounding heart, a little annoyed and angry.
Seeing the cat calling one after another, Chunyue suddenly picked up the feather duster beside the bed, trotted over in three steps and two steps, and struggled to hit the cat.
"Meow!" The black cat was quite psychic, and when he saw this, he kicked his legs, jumped to Chunyue's shoulder, and barked fiercely at Chunyue's teeth.
"Meow!"
Chunyue was so frightened that she almost lost her soul, and the feather duster beat her body indiscriminately, only hearing the cat jumping up and down and screaming, and I didn't know how many fell on the cat and how many fell on herself.
After a few clicks, the cat suddenly scurried, jumped into the grass, and disappeared, only Yu Chunyue stood in place alone in a cold sweat, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
In this way, Chunyue also had to go to bathe and wash up.
Raising her eyes and looking at the sky, Chunyue estimated the hour, now it should be the time for the fourth lady to stroke the qin, just enough to pinch the time to clean up. Thinking like this, Chunyue went out and asked a little girl in the courtyard to help her get hot water.
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
Mu Xiang pestle a broom, squatting in the low bushes, learning to meow one by one.
"Muxiang, what are you looking for?" The little girl who was instructed by Chunyue to fetch water passed by and asked curiously.
"Shhhhhh Mu Xiang raised her face with a mysterious expression.
"Mu Xiang, Madame never allows these cats and dogs to enter the door, why don't you throw it out quickly, be careful of harming its life." The little girl shouted loudly, and when she saw Mu Xiang nodding submissively, she couldn't bear to soften her voice: "I didn't lie to you, Madam is really annoying." ”
After saying that, the little girl left.
Mu Xiang stood stupidly in place, touched his head in a daze, and when he lowered his head, he saw the cat lying at his feet, raising his face, curling his tail like a coquette, and looking at Mu Xiang with watery eyes like agate.
"Blackie, you're back?" Mu Xiang was overjoyed, threw down the broom, picked up the cat and made a lot of affection.
"You wait, I'll do something bad." Mu Xiang stuck out her tongue at the cat, "Don't run around, Madame hates you very much." Later...... Well, I'll take you back to Yunxi Pavilion and ask Miss to give you a name. ”
Mu Xiang thought simply, he was picked up by his sister who was stunned, and Xiao Hei was picked up by himself, so Xiao Hei and himself could stay in Yunxi Pavilion.
The cat that was placed on the ground stared at Mu Xiang for a moment, then turned and shrank into the bushes. Mu Xiang laughed at this time, picked up the broom, and walked towards Qiushuiyuan.

Xie Tian frowned and looked at Chunyue, who was limping, and moved the corners of his lips slightly, "Chunyue, what's wrong with your leg?" ”
"The slave just fell at the door and hit her knee." Chunyue couldn't say that she was bitter, and she didn't dare to say that she fell down after meeting Xiao Tao.
Xie Tian let out an "oh" and turned his eyes to look at the small package with interest.
"Is this what the girl gave?"
"It's Xiao Tao, who just sent it, and the slave maid just received it." Chunyue lowered her head, not daring to look at Xie Tian's expression.
Xie Tian hooked his lips, stood up, reached out and picked up the package and looked at it carefully for a long time before slowly untying it.
A small coat of mandarin ducks playing in the water, wrinkled, looks particularly ridiculous.
The smile on Xie Tian's face became a little more real, "It's actually this thing!" ”
Chunyue quickly raised her eyes and saw that it was a small coat, her face suddenly turned pale, and she hesitated: "Miss, this is the eldest lady's...... What are you going to do? ”
Xie Tian squinted at Chunyue, "What, dare you dare to admit it?" ”
She lifted Chunyue's jaw with one hand, forcing Chunyue to look directly into her eyes, "Look at this little face, it's really delicate and tender, if it weren't for me, would you be able to show your face in front of my second brother?"
When my grandmother gave you and Chunhua to me, I thought you were a bold and careful girl. Chunyue, don't worry, it's going to be fine, I'm just helping a noble person and doing something that is beneficial to everyone. ”
"Miss." Chunyue swallowed, "This noble man is ......"
Chunyue's eyes showed longing, and she looked at Xie Tian.
Xie Tian hooked his lips and suddenly slapped Chunyue in the face. Chunyue didn't expect Xie Tian to suddenly attack, and he was suddenly overturned to the ground.
"It's not something you can know, be careful that your life is at risk." Xie Tian exhaled contemptuously, "You go down, by the way, that little peach, find someone to dispose of it." ”
Chunyue got up with difficulty, looked at Xie Tian with a gloomy face, was a little scared, hurriedly curtsied, and limped back to his room.
"What should I do?" Chunyue began to drum in her heart, although the old lady didn't like the eldest lady, Xie Tian just let herself find a way to steal a personal thing from Xie Li, and she would give herself the opportunity to serve in front of the second son.
I had a brain fever for a while, and I actually did such a stupid thing......
The face is also hot and painful, and the knee is also hot and painful, which makes Chunyue's already somewhat chaotic brain even more chaotic.
"Otherwise, run away." Suddenly, a thought appeared in her mind, and Chunyue's eyes widened, her hands clenched into fists, and her eyes flickered.
Even if he doesn't run away now, he will definitely be beaten to death by a stick if something happens in the future.
As soon as she thought of this, Chunyue was even more frightened, and fell from the bed to the ground, trembling to rummage through her soft clothes.
When the sky was completely dark, Chunyue limped out of the door.
Xie Tian stood under the window, watching Chunyue walk out of the gate of Qiushui Courtyard, and curled his lips.
"Go, kill her, and that girl named Xiao Tao."
"Yes, miss." In the empty room, a dark figure knelt respectfully on the ground, and suddenly disappeared again.
Grandmother's eyeliner was finally removed.
Xie Tian thought of the flush on Chunyue's face, and remembered that this girl was in the arms of a wild man, wanting immortals...... Desire to die...... Cruel laughed.
Where can she make Chunyue the pillow person of her second brother, but ...... It's just a dream.
