In the dining room, only Chaohua and Xiuyue were left.

Chaohua looked at Xiuyue, and Xiuyue also looked at Chaohua.

The two are separated by a few feet, but they are separated by the fact that twelve years have created completely different experiences.

What was once intimate and talked about everything has now become a mutual care.

It was Chaohua who broke the silence first.

"Xiuyue—" she called in a low voice.

Xiuyue's hand holding the kitchen knife shook and looked away to quickly cut the fish fillet.

"Xiuyue, I'm Chaohua." Chaohua whispered.

Xiuyue put the fish fillet as thin as a cicada's wings into the deep dish on the side, and her voice did not fluctuate: "The noble person recognized the wrong person." Xiuyue died early, and the flowers ...... He also died early. ”

Now the survivors are the ugly mother-in-law and the jade servant.

Chaohua looked shocked, wet the corners of her eyes, and muttered, "Yes, Xiuyue and Chaohua have long since died." ”

At the moment when the county lord died, they were no longer Chaohua and Xiuyue, just poor worms who were barely breathing.

"Then why are you standing here?" Xiuyue stroked the cold knife face, and her fingertips were stained with a faint fishy smell.

Her tone was colder than her look.

At this moment, Chaohua felt a sharp pain hit her, and the pain made her breathless.

From the moment she guessed that Xiuyue was still alive, she had thought countless times about what Xiuyue would say if she saw her.

But no matter what she says, she won't call her Sister Chaohua anymore.

But despite such preparations, listening to Xiuyue say these words still hurts to the bone marrow.

"I-" Asaka opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Do you want her to explain that she is guarding the county lord's bracelet and guarding an ethereal hope?

In Xiuyue's opinion, this may be an excuse for her to make a living.

How many nights have she been lying next to that man, she occasionally has this thought: could it be that she is greedy for life and afraid of death and suffers from hysteria, and has never had an explanation from the county lord, this is just an ordinary pair of bracelets in the county lord's ten miles of red makeup.

This bracelet has been with her for many years, and she has not found anything special.

How could she have the face to explain to Xiuyue.

"I was reluctant to die, so I followed the prince." Chaohua bit the tip of her tongue and said word for word.

Xiuyue's eyes trembled slightly, obscuring the fleeting light.

The county lord said that the flowers are sensitive and lonely, and if they have not changed, they will talk twisted.

The county lord left it to her to judge, but she was still too stupid.

Xiuyue raised her eyes and looked at the morning flowers intently.

Chaohua suddenly had the urge to run away.

But she couldn't help it.

The opportunity to meet Xiuyue was something she had worked so hard to get, so she was willing to leave like this.

Chaohua pursed her lips tightly, and looked at Xiuyue with a little embarrassment.

Xiuyue looked at those familiar and unfamiliar eyes, her heart ached, but her face was cold and hard: "Then what do you see me doing?" Are you planning to bring me into the palace and cook you a delicious meal? ”

Chaohua clenched her fists hard and laughed at herself: "I want to do this." It's a pity that you are Miss Luo's cook, and the prince's face is not so big. ”

"It can't be a reminiscence, right?" The corners of Xiuyue's mouth also had mockery, "You and I are different now, I don't think there is any old love to talk about." ”

Speaking of this, she paused and looked at the other party indifferently: "Or does the noble man want to hand me over to the prince to invite merit?" ”

"I didn't!" Blurted out towards the flower.

Xiuyue's tone was light: "The nobleman is still quiet." ”

Chaohua pinched her palm hard, restrained her uncontrollable emotions, and said softly: "Xiuyue, you and I grew up together after all, sisters, no matter what, I don't have the intention of harming you." ”

Xiuyue seemed to be a little impatient, and said coldly: "Then thank you for your grace not to kill." ”

Something slipped into her palm.

Xiuyue lowered her eyes and looked at the bracelet in her hand, a little stunned.

Chao Huaqiang smiled: "Since you don't want to deal with me anymore, I won't force it, so I'll give you this bracelet as a thought-"

Xiuyue stuffed the bracelet back.

Chaohua was stunned for a moment, and then explained with a wry smile: "The bracelet was left by the county lord, not I got it in the palace, you just have to accept it." Even if you don't want to have any thoughts with me, you should take care of the county lord's bracelet. ”

Experiencing the princess's seizure of the bracelet made her more deeply aware of the frightening steps in the palace.

She thought that she could rely on the prince to guard what the county lord left behind, but she was still too naïve.

There is no more suitable person in this world to entrust the bracelet than Xiuyue.

Xiuyue is loyal to the county lord, and now she has become Miss Luo's cook, and her identity as Miss Luo is enough to protect her.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Xiuyue loses the protection of Miss Luo in the future, no one will be too embarrassed by her status as a famous chef in the capital.

Who wouldn't want to go with a chef who can make appetizing food, at most they will snatch it back to the house to be a chef.

The bracelet was handed over to Xiuyue, and she was very relieved.

"I can't take it."

"Xiuyue-" Asaka bit her lip with a pleading in her eyes.

Is Xiuyue so disgusted with her?

Xiuyue looked at such a morning flower and felt sour in her heart, and asked in an inaudible voice, "Are you reluctant to die because of this bracelet?" ”

Chaohua took a few steps back and looked at Xiuyue with incredible eyes.

Xiuyue seemed to have expected her to have this reaction, but she was much calmer, picking up a green onion and peeling it slowly.

"What did you just say?" Chaohua asked in a trembling voice.

The county lord only told her about the bracelet, why did Xiuyue know?

Maybe she misunderstood, what Xiuyue said was not the same as what she thought.

"Xiuyue, what did you say?"

Xiuyue looked at her, her eyes were warm, and she said in a low voice: "Didn't you promise the county lord to keep this bracelet before trying to live?" ”

Chaohua's pupils shrank and covered her mouth tightly.

Xiuyue lowered her eyes and continued to cook the ingredients.

She's here to cook, and there's no way to explain it just by chatting.

And Asaka fell into a long silence.

It was only after a long time that the sour smell began to waft through the dining room before she regained her voice.

"Xiuyue—"

Xiuyue gently stirred the boiling sour soup with a wooden spoon, as if she hadn't heard this shout.

Chaohua took a step forward, his eyes on the boiling soup, and asked softly, "How do you know?" ”

Xiuyue clenched the wooden spoon and said word for word: "The county lord told me." ”

Chaohua grabbed Xiuyue's wrist violently, and the hand wearing the gold-encrusted seven-treasure bracelet trembled.

"Calm down." Xiuyue reminded in a low voice.

Chaohua bit her lip hard, unable to control the trembling all over.

A tear fell into the boiling pot.

"Yes...... Does the county lord give you a dream? ”

Xiuyue gently broke free of Chaohua's hand and continued to stir the soup pot with a wooden spoon.

The tears had long since melted with the soup, and there was no trace of them.

"It's not." Xiuyue's voice was inaudible, "The county lord is Miss Luo." ”

The county lord said that if Asaka took the initiative to give her the bracelet, then she could tell Asaka the secret depending on the situation.
