Chapter 1: The Bodyguard

Next Chapter

I am the youngest daughter of the Xiao family, and now the situation outside is turbulent, my father said, let me stay in this mansion well, and it is better to go out and walk around less, but I will get tired of seeing flowers and plants every day in this mansion.

I've never been interested in the world, and I feel that these days have been extraordinary, but I don't know what went wrong.

As I walked along the cobblestone path, wandering aimlessly, trying to find a little fun, I suddenly heard the chatter of the maids whispering while dusting the lotus pond.

"Hey, you know what, our lord hasn't been back for a few days."

"Ah, why?"

"It's not because someone framed it, saying that the old man did the robbery of the food that night."

"Then did the master do it, is it serious?"

"I don't know about this......"

Looted food? What the hell is going on, bored as if I suddenly thought of something interesting to amuse, I had a flash of inspiration and silently remembered this matter in my heart.

That night, when the second brother returned home, I couldn't wait to run over and ask, "Second brother, where is Dad, haven't you come back yet?"

The second brother glanced at me and said with a smile: "Why, when did Jin'er care so much about her father, usually at this time, you would have fallen asleep."

Seeing the second brother smiling so brightly, I was unhappy: "Laugh, laugh at what are you laughing at, it's not normal for me to care about my father."

The second brother gradually put away his smile: "Okay, it's not too early, let's go and rest, my father has been dealing with important matters in the court recently, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to come back."

After saying that, he looked at me with concerned eyes, turned around and walked to the study, and I followed and asked, "Is it because of the robbery of the food?"

When the second brother heard what I said, he stopped in place, paused and asked, "How do you know?"

Seeing that the second brother must be like this, there must be no doubt about this matter, and just about to answer something, I heard the second brother say, "You secretly ran out to play again today?"

I was so frightened that I hurriedly denied it, "No, no, no, how is this possible, I stayed in this mansion all day, but I didn't go anywhere......"

The second brother glanced at the servant girl beside me, and replied in disbelief: "No matter what, you will keep me here honestly and don't go out." I looked at him reluctantly and muttered, "Did you hear that?" The voice of the second brother came to my ears.

"Oh oh, I see." I stuck out my tongue and turned away.

In the study, Xiao Li was writing something, the second son Xiao Yu stepped forward and shouted, Xiao Li asked, "How is the matter investigated?"

"There are still no clues, and it can be seen that the robbers are doing things neatly."

Master Xiao sighed: "The matter has come to this, it is better to catch the robbers quickly, the emperor has ordered me to arrest the robbers within seven days, if I can't find it again, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky."

"But in this matter, except for Wang Dun's people, there is no one who can do such a thing", Xiao Yu's solemn face revealed a little unwillingness.

Master Xiao put down the pen in his hand, "Now Wang Dun's uncle Wang Yun is in a high position, and it is not a day or two since he has held real power. ”

"So what do we do next?"

"If you plan it, since Wang Dun can't tolerate us, then why should we show up."

"Yes. Oh, by the way, Dad, when I came back just now, Jin'er came to me and asked about you, and it seems that you still know about the robbery of the rations. ”

"Oh? How does she know? Still take strict care of her, don't go out, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at our Xiao family outside at this time. ”

It was night, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the windowsill, and a soft ray of moonlight passed through the window like light, which made people's hearts warm.

It's been two days.

Early in the morning, as soon as I got up, I heard the maidservant Yu Lian say, "Miss, the master seems to have returned home."

"Really? Hurry up and get me fresh, I'm going to see Daddy. ”

Since I asked my second brother that day, the people in the house seem to be more strict with me, and Mother Liu will start looking for me as long as she doesn't see me for a while, as if she is afraid that I will sneak out. But how can I have such great ability, otherwise I would not have stayed in this mansion obediently, and I would not have been able to go anywhere.

After Yu Lian finished dressing me, I got up and went to the lobby, passing by the path full of peach blossoms, and the scenery was so charming that I didn't know how to slow down.

"Why are you so disobedient and running around." A crisp male voice could be heard in the distance.

Who is it, I followed the sound and saw that under a peach tree not far away, a man squatted on the ground and stroked a white kitten, the kitten seemed to be very comfortable scratched by it, and made a meowing sound, so cute.

The man seemed to have seen it somewhere, and I couldn't remember it clearly, so I made up my mind, didn't care so much, and continued to walk back into the hall.

When my father saw me coming, he immediately showed a kind smile on his face, "Jin'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you doing well?" Seeing this, I said aggrievedly: "It's not good, Daddy hasn't been home for so long, what happened?"

I saw him take a sip of tea, "Oh, don't care so much about girls, what can happen with daddy?" "But......" I was about to say something, when I heard a male voice in my ear: "My lord, the cat has been found."

Daddy hurriedly said to me, "I'm not afraid that you will be bored in the house, so I specially ordered someone to buy you a kitten." ”

I saw a man walking with a kitten in his arms, holding a long sword in his right hand, with a lofty spirit, an extraordinary attitude, with a calm footsteps, and a vitality between his eyebrows.

The breeze was blowing, and I smelled the peach blossoms mixed with a little jasmine fragrance, could this be the legendary Pianpian Boy?

I was a little stunned, I blamed my father for not letting me go out, but if I saw more men, I would not be so obsessed, he looked at me, handed me the cat in his arms, I was embarrassed to withdraw my eyes, and took the little white cat.

"It turns out that my father bought this little white cat for me, and I just saw him looking for this cat in the peach garden."

"Hahahaha, yes, this kitten is very naughty, just like you." Daddy said as he touched the cat.

I pouted and looked at the man, who raised his eyes to me.

"Jin'er, this is my guard Ji Weixuan, who has been following me for some time, let him follow you from today on." The news came so suddenly that I was stunned for a moment, "Why don't you continue to follow Daddy?" ”

"I don't have your second brother either, it's useful to stay by your side in the future. As long as you're okay, don't worry about me, an old man. ”

Daddy's words have been echoing in my mind, so that in the days to come, although so long has passed, I will still remember it clearly, just like yesterday.
