On the morning of the third day of February, the sun is rising, and the lively day in Xiangyun Lane has begun, and the magpies are chirping happily in the branches, as if they know that there are distinguished guests coming to the door today. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

The subordinates of the Li Mansion had already learned that the two cousins of the Duanmu family were coming to greet the old lady and the eldest lord today, and they were all ready to prepare.

At that time, the main entrance of Li's house was wide open, and a black-painted green canopy carriage slowly drove into the house under the greeting of the porter's mother-in-law.

Li Xi and Li Chuanying, who were in the main hall, had already heard the news, and both father and son craned their necks to look outside the hall, especially Li Xi, who inevitably felt a kind of homesickness in their hearts.

Time flies, it seems that it will be almost nine years in the blink of an eye!

When they left Mozhou with their family, Duanmujun was only six years old, and Duanmufei was still a baby girl in swaddling clothes, thin and small. At that time, the daughter and son-in-law were still there, and their own Saburo Shiro was also in his prime, but now, they all left first...... I have also passed the year of destiny, and I am full of flowers!

This veteran who was invincible in the battlefield was full of melancholy at this moment, and his eyes were a little trance-like, as if he was reminiscing about the past......

Wisps of spring breeze slowly blew into the hall, and under the bright sunshine, Li Tingyou led two beautiful girls towards the main hall.

Li Xi looked at the two little girls almost greedily, and his eyes moistened slightly......

Duanmujun and Duanmufei sisters both look more like daughters, with fair and delicate skin, delicate and bright facial features, but the sisters have different eyes and temperament.

Duanmujun's eyes are like sons-in-law, and Duanmufei's eyes are like daughters; Between the two sisters, one is bright and serious, and the other is innocent.

Li Xi's gaze lingered on Duanmu Fei's little face, and he squinted, the corners of his eyes showed deep wrinkles, and his eyes became deeper.

It was this ten-year-old girl who actually helped their Li family get out of danger!

Thinking about it, Li Xi's heart was a little complicated, including amazement, emotion, sigh, and more pride.

Duanmujun and Duanmufei quickly walked closer, and respectfully bowed to Li Xi and Li Chuanying, father and son: "I have seen my grandfather, my uncle." ”

"Sister Jun, Sister Scarlet, don't be polite." Li Xi looked at the sisters with a loving face, with a gentle smile, at this moment, he was wearing regular clothes, and there was no trace of sharpness in his description, just like the most ordinary old man looking at his granddaughter who had not seen him for many years.

After Duanmujun and Duanmufei straightened up, they received a meeting gift from Li Xi.

For there is a Father, and there is a Son.

Li Xi also stuffed two heavy jewelry boxes for his two granddaughters as a meeting gift just like Li Chuanying and Li Chuanting last year.

The two sisters hurriedly thanked their grandfather again, and Li Chuanying on the side greeted with a smile: "Sister Jun, Sister Fei, don't be restrained, sit down and talk." ”

The two sisters were naturally kind and sat down with Li Tingyou, and the atmosphere in the hall was harmonious.

Duanmu Fei smiled very brightly, his big eyes flickered, and he said in his heart: Feng Yan said that he was coming, he should just say it casually, he didn't know his grandfather and uncle, why did he have nothing to do here!

And Duanmujun beside her looked around quietly, feeling a little strange: obviously she heard that her eldest aunt also came with her grandfather and uncle, but why didn't she see anyone......

Duanmu Jun was groaning, and he felt that the surroundings were quiet, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to have some kind of change that could only be understood and indescribable, and the three generations of men of the Li family were all looking out of the hall.

Duanmujun also followed their gaze and looked forward, only to see a woman outside the hall wearing a purple peony tuanhua carved silk gown walking quickly towards this side, walking like the wind, with a menacing feeling all over her body.

Although she hadn't seen her for many years, Duanmujun still recognized it at a glance, this was her eldest aunt Xu.

After a while, Xu stepped into the hall with his skirt on his shoulder, walked up to Li Xi and Li Chuanying without squinting, and saluted the two first.

Then, Xu's expression looked around lightly, and when he looked at Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei sisters, the corners of his mouth were more mocking and arrogant.

Duanmujun stood up and wanted to salute Xu's, but felt his cuffs tighten. She subconsciously looked at her sister, only to see her shaking her head at her.

In the next moment, I heard two "pop" sounds of landing, as if a few teacups had fallen to the ground.

In the hall, there was a dead silence.

The little maid who came to serve the tea looked at the tea cup and tea that fell to the ground with a disgraced face, the two blue and white porcelain tea cups had been shattered, and the broken porcelain pieces were smashed on the ground, and the tea flowed and splashed, and the surroundings were full of mess.

Everyone's complexion changed slightly, but the initiator of the Xu family still looked light.

She stroked her sleeve unhurriedly, as if it wasn't her who had just spilled the tea.

"Wen Jin," Li Chuanying couldn't help but raise his voice and said angrily at Xu, "What are you doing!" There was a question in his voice.

"The elders are so unruly and uneducated...... Don't drink this tea! Xu snorted coldly, looking at the sisters' eyes with more and more contempt and disdain.

Just for the sake of this pair of orphan girls who have no father and no mother, they stopped her from going back to her parents' house, and they didn't want to think about whether this pair of unblessed Tiansha Lone Stars could afford it?!

The air in the hall cooled down with Xu's scolding, and the atmosphere was slightly condensed.

Duanmujun frowned, although the eldest aunt Xu in her memory was not particularly close to her family, there was still a basic kinship between them, but today's Xu family was so bitter and mean, as if she was deliberately trying to find fault.

"Sister, your skirt ......" Duanmu Fei snorted and frowned at Duanmu Jun's skirt.

Today, Duanmu Jun wore a water-green pleated skirt, and at this moment, the amber tea soup left spots of tea stains on the corners of her skirt, which was extremely dazzling.

Li Chuanying's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he hurriedly beckoned a housekeeper and said, "Why don't you hurry up and take the cousin girl down to change her clothes." ”

Duanmujun glanced at Xu again, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to have figured out a lot of things.

She smiled lightly, and said to Li Xi, Li Chuanying, and Li Tingyou: "Grandfather, uncle, cousin, then I will be absent for a while." ”

Duanmu Jun has never been the kind of person who will use his hot face to stick to other people's cold butts, so he directly ignored the Xu family and left the hall with the wisteria.

The hall was silent for a while, and the maids didn't dare to make a sound, so they cleaned up the broken porcelain and tea in the hall with their hands and feet, and re-served the tea.

In the air, the fragrance of tea is curling and refreshing, however, the atmosphere cannot return to the previous harmony.

Duanmufei held the tea cup, slowly removed the tea leaves floating on the tea soup with the tea lid, and drank the tea comfortably.

Seeing that Duanmu Fei didn't mean to get up and salute himself at all, Xu frowned, and said again in a weird manner: "Sure enough, it's a broom star with no father, no mother, and no one to upbring, and I don't know how to salute when I see the elders!" ”

Li Chuanying's brows tightened even tighter, his eyes were surging with anger, and he was about to speak again, but was quietly stopped by Li Tingyou.

Li Tingyou squeezed his eyebrows at his eldest uncle for a while, persuaded him not to be impatient, and said in his heart: His little cousin is not an angry bag who can't scold or fight back!

Duanmu put down the teacup slowly, raised his eyes to look at Xu Shi, who was sitting diagonally opposite, and said meaningfully: "According to the rules, it is natural for juniors to salute their elders, but if the other party is not an elder, naturally there is no need to salute." ”

The implication of this little girl is that she doesn't recognize her as an elder! Xu's face became more and more ugly, and he said coldly: "So, you don't recognize my eldest aunt?" ”

After a pause, she immediately said, "Fourth Miss Duanmu, since you don't recognize me as your aunt, I don't have you as a niece...... Someone, send me off! She unceremoniously ordered the eviction.

The hall fell silent again.

The subordinates all bowed their heads, and none of them dared to do anything, Xu is the mistress of this house, but there are also Li Xi and Li Chuanying here, the old man doesn't speak, who dares to pick up the cousin girl!

Under Li Tingyou's gesture, several subordinates in the room retreated with relief, leaving only Li Xi, Li Chuanying, Li Tingyou, Xu Shi and Duanmufei.

Duanmu Fei said helplessly: "Don't be anxious, aunt, I haven't finished my words yet." After a pause, she asked seriously, "Does the eldest aunt know about the recent events in Beijing?" ”

The Xu family was confused by Duanmu Fei, but still replied: "Isn't it just our Li family escorting King Su to Beijing?" ”

Since his arrival in Beijing, Xu has been ordered by Li Xi and Li Chuanying, father and son, to be placed under house arrest in Li's house, and he knows almost nothing about the affairs of the capital.

Duanmu pursed her lips and continued patiently: "Uncle I don't know about the fact that Sun Mingying, the commander of the Jingwei battalion, led his troops to Qianyayuan to force the palace a few days ago, right? The object behind this Sun Mingying is King Su. ”

Duanmu Fei methodically told the story of the forced palace.

The more Xu listened, the more impatient he became, what did King Su and Sun Mingying do to rebel against each other!

She was about to interrupt Duanmufei with a speech, but Duanmufei suddenly changed her words: "I heard that King Su has a close relationship with his eldest uncle!" ”

"I don't know King Su!" Xu Shi was suddenly furious, his chest rose and fell violently, and he raised his hand and pointed at Duanmu Fei's nose and scolded, "You are young, full of foul language!" "This little girl actually intends to ruin her reputation! It's really damning!

Duanmu blinked and said with a blank expression: "Auntie, why am I so foul-mouthed?" ”

This little girl still has to pretend to be stupid, Xu Shi is even more angry, and then he listened to Duanmu Fei and said slowly: "Regarding the matter of military rations, the emperor has believed the Li family's defense, and he needs to think about it in the long run......

Hearing this, Xu couldn't believe his ears, his whole body couldn't move as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face was completely bloody.

Her first reaction was how could Duanmufei know the content of this letter, and then she thought that since Duanmufei knew it, did Li Xi and Li Chuanying also know it?

Xu's heart was so confused that he was so frightened that he could hardly think calmly, however, the implication of Duanmufei's words was already obvious-

Over the years, the person who has secretly corresponded with him turned out to be ......

"Auntie, this letter you received is from King Su." Duanmu Fei directly affirmed Xu's guess in his heart, "Now, does the eldest aunt still want to say that she doesn't know Su Wangsu?" ”

It's really King Su! Xu's face was as white as paper, his eyes and lips were also dull, and his plump delicate body trembled slightly, like a fallen leaf in the wind and rain, and his thoughts were surging.

King Su's rebellion is already conclusive, if people know that they are secretly dealing with King Su, then I am afraid that they will not be able to wash it away even if they jump into the Yellow River!

"In terms of King Su's rebellion, how can the eldest aunt be so deeply involved with King Su? Even, he framed the Li family for King Su. Duanmu shook his head faintly and sighed, "With such an act, how can I treat my eldest aunt as an elder, please greet him?" ”

Xu's eyes were stunned, and his expression was abrupt.

In this way, the Li family really knows it!

Xu bit his lower lip, and his eyes lit up with rage.

She's not wrong!

This is all owed to her by the Li family, and the Li family owes her father a life!

Thinking about it, Xu's eyes became fierce and firm, and he raised his chin and looked at Li Chuanying.

Li Chuanying sighed secretly, looked away, and became colder and colder in his heart. As early as last year, when he found out what Xu was secretly doing, he was already completely disappointed in her, and there was nothing to say between them......

Duanmu Fei winked his right eye twice at Li Chuanying and made a look.

Li Chuanying immediately understood, first lowered his eyes, and then frowned helplessly: "Wen Jin, you go back." Don't go out these days! ”

The corners of Xu's mouth turned up slightly, and the heart that was still a little nervous was instantly settled.

Sure enough, she gave birth to a pair of children for the Li family, no matter what she does, the Li family has to bear it, even if it is found that she has a connection with King Su?!

Since she married into the Li family, her surname is "Li", and the Li family can only carry it for her!

"Lost company." Xu casually greeted Li Xi and Li Chuan, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

When she walked to the threshold, Duanmu Fei's casual self-muttering voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Now those who are involved in King Su have been checked by Dongchang one by one, and I don't know what will ......happen to the Marquis of Wuning's mansion."

Xu's body stiffened, took a deep breath, and then slowly turned around, his eyes shot at Duanmu Fei like an arrow, and asked, "Duanmu Fei, are you threatening me?" ”

"Where did the eldest aunt say that?" Duanmu tilted his head and smiled, "The Li family temple is small, and it can protect you, but it really can't protect the Marquis Mansion of Wuning." ”

Xu's eyes sank little by little, and he looked at Li Xi and Li Chuanying again, and saw that both of them were silently drinking tea, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Manners!" ”

She dropped those four words, threw off her sleeves and left, and this time, never looked back.

Xu's figure soon disappeared outside the courtyard, and there were only four people left in the room, silent.

Li Chuanying withdrew his gaze from the empty courtyard gate, and looked at Duanmu Fei in puzzlement, "Sister Fei'er......" He didn't understand why Duanmu Fei deliberately said this to the Xu family.

Duanmu's big black eyes were black and white, clear and bright, like the brightest stars in the night sky, and he said slowly: "Back then, my grandfather let go of the Marquis of Wuning Mansion with good intentions, but what did I get for?" It is impossible for the Marquis of Wuning to be ignorant of these things that the eldest aunt has done in the past few years, and now that King Su has been arrested, the Xu family is still fine and has not been implicated......

Duanmufei picked up the teacup again, his eyes were half-drooping, staring at the tea leaves sinking little by little in the tea soup.

"Since they dare to do it, they have to pay the corresponding price!" Her voice was crisp and bold.

Back then, it was because of the first Wu Ninghou who collaborated with the enemy that Xizhou fell so quickly...... If it weren't for that, Daddy would have had more time to deal with it, and maybe he would have been able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Of course, King Su is the culprit in all this, but Xianwu Ninghou is not innocent. Because the two families are in-laws, the Li family has protected their Xu family for nearly nine years, and now the Xu family should pay some price.

After Duanmu took a sip of tea, he raised his eyes to look at Li Xi and Li Chuanying, and smiled with a bent mouth, "Grandfather, uncle, you just wait." ”

Her eyes narrowed with a smile, and her cute and cunning appearance made the three generations of the Li family feel as if they had seen a little fox with an abacus and wagging its tail.

Li Tingyou secretly threw a look at Li Xi, meaning, grandfather, I didn't say anything, did I? Is this girl's heart more than a sieve?

Li Xi shook his head a little amusedly, and a little smile appeared in his sharp eyes.

In the eyes of the grandfather and grandson, the originally solemn atmosphere around them eased a little......

After another moment, Duanmu, who had changed into a frost-colored embroidered skirt, returned with the housekeeper.

Seeing that the Xu family was no longer there, Duanmujun raised his eyebrows, and the feeling of disobedience in his heart became even stronger: there was obviously something wrong with the eldest aunt......

Li Chuanying exchanged a look with Li Xi, then cleared his throat and said, "Sister Jun, my uncle has something to tell you about that has something to do with your eldest aunt......

Then, Li Chuanying started from the treason of the Marquis of Wuning many years ago, and said that the Xu family had a grudge against his father's death, and secretly colluded with King Su, and explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Duanmujun's complexion changed several times with Li Chuanying's words, his eyes widened, and in addition to shock, there was fear in his eyes...... As well as indignation.

The Li family is full of loyalty, generations of guarding the border passes, these eight years, the Li family is also conscientious in guarding Minzhou, in order to exterminate the sea bandits and robbers on the sea, the two uncles died young, only in exchange for the peace of Minzhou in recent years, but almost was burdened by Wuning Houfu......

Looking at Duanmujun's angry little face, Li Xi, who was at the top, sighed and said, "Sister Jun, these matters are very important, you just know in your heart, don't care too much about your aunt...... It's rare for you and Sister Scarlet to come to the house, don't talk about these spoiling things, today you two sisters must stay at home for a meal, everyone have a good time. ”

Duanmujun looked at Li Xi, and then at Li Chuanying, his heart was even more complicated, at this time, any words of comfort were pale and weak, and all she could do was to be silent and reassure the two elders.

Duanmujun smiled slightly, and said jokingly: "As long as my grandfather doesn't annoy me and Zhenzhen, we often come to bother my grandfather and uncle." ”

Duanmu Fei also answered in passing, and said seriously: "Grandfather, don't listen to your sister, she is coaxing you." My sister takes care of the housekeeping of the house every day, but she is busy, unlike me, she is the most idle every day......"

She laughed at Li Xi and Li Chuanying in just a few words, and the originally quiet hall echoed with the man's hearty laughter.

After that, no one mentioned Xu again.

Li Xi asked about the sisters' affairs in the capital over the years, and Duanmujun of course picked up a good thing and said that although she and her sister had suffered a lot of grievances in Duanmu's house, everything had passed, and she and her sister would definitely live better and better.

As long as my sister is okay, she will be okay too.

Duanmujun said as he looked at Duanmufei from time to time, his bright willow eyes were so soft that they almost overflowed.

There is no need to use words at all to tie the bond between the two sisters, just looking at and listening to it, Li Xi can naturally feel it, and the smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows is even stronger.

The two sisters are better than anything else.

The sun outside gradually rose as time passed, and the weather became warmer and warmer, and before I knew it, it was almost noon, and the housekeeper came to ask the master if she could have a banquet.

Li Xi had just responded, and immediately after, a small servant hurriedly came: "Old lady, big man, Feng Gongzi asks to see." ”

In the hall, there was silence.

Li Xi and Li Chuanying, father and son, subconsciously looked at each other, their eyes changed slightly, only Li Tingyou was happy on his face, smiled and stroked his palm: "Ah Yan, this guy will pick a time......

Li Xi's face was slightly gloomy, and he inevitably wondered what Feng Yan suddenly came to visit, could it be that the two Dawan BMWs yesterday were the other party's pathfinders, and they accepted them, so they recruited people?

Li Xi and Li Chuanying glanced at each other again, and both father and son had the same doubts in their hearts.

But even so, Li Xi still spoke: "Please." ”

Duanmufei on the side silently picked up the teacup, not knowing whether to praise Fengyan for talking, or to be happy to come and come.

The room was full of people with different thoughts, and the hall was quiet again.

In a short time, the little man brought the man in.

When Feng Yan, dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, appeared at the gate of the courtyard, everyone in the hall looked at him in unison.

It was the first time for Li Xi and Li Chuanying to see Feng Yan, and when they looked at him, they couldn't help but have a little more look, two points of suspicion, and three points of vigilance.

Feng Yan didn't care about the others at all, he only had his own Zhen Zhen in his eyes, and those black phoenix eyes were amazingly bright in the sun.

Feng Yan quickened his pace and stepped into the hall, only then did he look at Li Xi and Li Chuanying.

Thinking that this was his future grandfather and uncle, his handsome face was a little more cautious, and he solemnly clasped his fists and saluted: "General Li Bing, Li Dudu." ”

However, Li Xi and Li Chuanying looked at Feng Yan and had the feeling that a weasel was greeting the chicken.

"Feng Gongzi is very polite." Li Xi smiled heartily, stroked his beard, and greeted Feng Yan politely, "I have heard Feng Gongzi's 'big name' for a long time, and I can see it today, and it is really a hero out of a young man." The old man is really old, and it will be your young man's world in the future. ”

Feng Yan couldn't help but glance at Duanmu Fei when he heard this, and thought complacently: It seems that my grandfather has a good impression of him......

"Mr. Li has won the award." The smile on Feng Yan's face became brighter and brighter, and there was a hint of courtesy, "I have heard that General Li is full of scriptures and martial arts, and he is both brave and brave, and he has created the 'Yin and Yang Array' in Minzhou according to local conditions, which has never been seen before, which makes the younger generations admire." ”

"Feng Gongzi is overrated." Li Xi's smile stiffened slightly, his heart sank a little more, and he said in his heart: This Feng Yan is really a person with a heart, this time he came prepared, I am afraid that he has already dug out the bottom of their Li family......

"Grandfather, you and Ah Yan don't praise each other." Li Tingyou said with a smile, "If you have something to say, it's better to wait for the meal to speak slowly." Ah Yan, why don't you eat with us? ”

Feng Yandeng's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and smiled: "Then I might as well be respectful." He felt that he was too wise, and that he had come at the right time to have lunch with Zhen Zhen.

Feng Yan's jade-like face was radiant and glowing.

Seeing this, Li Chuanying was almost about to support his forehead.

In the past, he still felt that these three nephews followed the second brother in terms of appearance and temperament, but now he feels that he is simply looking away, and Brother You'er's lack of heart and eyes is like a brother-in-law!

At this point, Li Xi and Li Chuanying couldn't say anything, and they could only make their family banquet inexplicably have one more person.

As for Duanmujun, she didn't care, she had always had a good impression of Anping and Feng Yan's mother and son, and seeing that Feng Yan and Li Tingyou got along well, she was also happy that her cousin had another friend in the capital.

Next, everyone got up one after another and moved to the side hall.

There were only six people in Feng Yan present, and this was originally a family banquet, so there was no special division of seats, and the six of them sat down around a round table.

For Feng Yan, this was another unexpected surprise. The corners of his mouth were always slightly upturned, and his eyes were burning at Duanmu Fei diagonally opposite.

Because Duanmujun and Duanmufei were coming, Li Xi and Li Chuanying specially instructed their subordinates to prepare more dishes that the girl's family loved to eat.

I saw that there were eight meats, four vegetarian soups and two soups on the huge round table, as well as snacks such as cream pine cake and steamed cheese, which were not only sumptuous, but also full of color and flavor, and made Duanmufei and Li Tingyou move their index fingers.

However, Li Xi and Li Chuanying were a little unate, and the eyes of both father and son looked at Feng Yan from time to time.

Feng Yan also ate a little absent-mindedly, but what he looked at was Duanmufei, what Duanmufei ate, he followed what he ate, and felt that compared to the cook in their princess's mansion, the cook in this Li Mansion was far behind.

The shallot-flavored crucian carp breast is too salty, the fried small yellow croaker is too greasy, and the black chicken soup is light and tasteless......

Just ask Zhen Zhen to go to the princess's mansion next time, ask the cook to cook these dishes again, Zhen Zhen will definitely like it, and then he can invite her to the princess's mansion more often. Feng Yan thought happily, his eyes shining.

The father and son of the Li family were startled with Feng Yan's expression, and almost didn't move a few chopsticks.

When the meal was finished, the maids served hot tea.

Feng Yan smelled the fragrance of tea, looked at Zhen Zhen's enjoyment, and hooked his lips slightly, although the dishes on this table are not as good as those made by the chef in the princess's mansion, the tea is still good.

Li Xi finally couldn't help it, Huo Di stood up, looked at Feng Yan with a sinking face, and said, "Feng Gongzi, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Li Xi's eyes were deep and firm, instead of repeatedly speculating about Feng Yan's intentions in his heart, it was better to cut through the chaos quickly.

Feng Yan was stunned, put down the teacup in his hand, and stood up with kindness.

"Mr. Li, please." He politely stretched out his hand to make an invitation, thinking to himself: I don't know what my grandfather has taught me.

After that, the old and the young walked out of the hall one after the other, and walked towards the side room.

What is my grandfather going to say when he is looking for Feng Yan? Duanmu Fei looked at the back of the two leaving, and couldn't help but have this question in his heart.

She groaned and rubbed her fingers against the teacup, just thinking about it, and then suddenly reacting. No, it's better to think less about Feng Yan...... The more she thought about it, the more dangerous she became.

Drink tea! She still drinks tea!

Duanmu Fei worked hard to empty his brain and "leisurely" tasted tea. Well, Minzhou is really good tea.

Li Chuanying also looked at the backs of Li Xi and Feng Yan, his eyes were a little complicated, he probably guessed what his father wanted to say to Feng Yan...... What the hell is Feng Yan's idea!

Li Chuanying was about to get up and follow, when he saw a mother-in-law running towards this side panting, still calling "big master" in her mouth, looking at her anxious look, it seemed that something had happened.

"Sir, the eldest lady has to go out," said the woman, who came in quickly, "and the slaves and maidservants will not be able to stop it." ”

The hall was silent again, and the air seemed to condense.

Li Chuanying's eyebrows tightened, and he said coldly: "Be sure to stop it." If you can't stop it...... Just tie it up! ”..

"Uncle, you're not right." Duanmu Fei smiled, her eyes shining like black gems, "It's a matter of course for my aunt to want to go back to her parents' house, how can you stop it!" ”

She smiled like a crescent moon, a little cunning, like a little fox.
