After drinking the medicine and using hot porridge, Banzhi was accompanied by Mama Liu and moved to the left ear room of the main courtyard.

"Girl, this is it."

Mama Liu held the half-branch with one hand, and reached forward with the other hand to push the door of the ear room open, and then turned her head and looked at the half-branch with a smile.

Half of the branch was placed on the top of the collapse by Mama Liu, and her face was a little shy, after all, Mama Liu's attitude towards her was very enthusiastic along the way, which made her difficult to adapt to for a while.

"Thank you, Mama."

"Girl, don't thank me, this is what I should do...... At this hour, the young master should be in the room, and the girl can go to thank the young master. ”

Mama Liu can also see a little bit of the young master's thoughts today, if these two people are awkward, she is willing to spend some effort to match.

“…… Half of the branch knows, thank you for mentioning it. ”

Banzhi didn't listen to Mama Liu's 'click' openly and secretly this night, and now she can cope with the past.

"Okay, the girl is resting before she recovers from her serious illness, and the old woman won't bother the girl."

"Walk slowly."

Mama Liu didn't want to delay time, so she hurriedly said a few words and left, and got up and took a few steps, so that she had the opportunity to take a good look at the left ear room.

The house is not big, only half the size of the wing room where Cen Xiwei lives, but it is better than the exquisite arrangement, whether it is ornamental furniture or bed makeup mirror, it is a first-class product.

Banzhi looked around, and was very satisfied with this new residence, but he couldn't guess what Cen Xijun meant, after all, how could the person who hated him so much before be willing to let himself live so well, and live so close to him.

Banzhi thought about it and had a headache, and finally attributed it to his illness, and Cen Xijun, the culprit, felt guilty, so he was kind enough to change his residence.

Putting this question over for the time being, Banzhi only felt very tired, and it was not early now, she should also go to sleep, anyway, she didn't have to serve Cen Xijun today, she was also happy.

……

"Knock Knock"

Banzhi sat on the floor and soaked his feet and was drowsy, but was awakened by two knocks on the door, so he hurriedly wiped his feet and pulled his shoes to open the door.

"Mama can return ......"

Half a branch was sleepy, half squinted her eyes and went to open the door, just thinking that Mama Liu had something to find herself, after all, there was no one else in this courtyard to make friends with her.

It's just that as soon as he opened the door, he saw Cen Xijun, who had a black face, standing at the door, looking down at himself, and the meaning was unknown.

Half of the drowsiness woke up most of the time at once, but he couldn't react for a while, still holding the door with both hands, and stopped Cen Xiyi outside.

Cen Xijun didn't know why he came to knock on the door of Banzhi at night, but now he saw some secret joy in his heart. Taking advantage of the time when he was stunned, Cen Xijun saw the appearance of the little girl in front of him clearly.

The little girl's complexion faded from the abnormal red of the day, and returned to the white and tender of the past, but there was still some tiredness between her eyebrows and eyes, and her lips were also pale.

Cen Xi was just observing Banzhi's face, but his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the little girl's exposed thin white neck and smooth collarbones.

Because Banzhi was washing before, he opened the stand-up collar robe outside, and only wore a cyan bandeau inside, and the large snow skin on his neck was half-covered and half-exposed in front of Cen Ximian's eyes.

"Ahem...... You ......"

"Is there something wrong with the young master?"

Cen Xi narrowed his gaze uncomfortably, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect Banzhi to speak with him.

Half of the eyes were suspicious, I really didn't know what Cen Xiyu was doing in the middle of the night, did he want to drive her away again? Thinking of this, Banzhi looked at Cen Ximian's eyes with a hint of precaution, and asked him directly about his intention.

Cen Xijun became more and more uncomfortable by Banzhi's defensive gaze, but he was unwilling to show his cowardice in front of Banzhi, so he could only straighten his face and strike preemptively:

"It's a big night, and the clothes are not neatly dressed!"

Banzhi was stunned by Cen Xi's sudden reproach, and when she looked down at herself, she realized that she had forgotten to button it, and she blushed for a while, and hurriedly turned her back to button it.

Half a branch turned around in a hurry, the green hundred-fold skirt raised a whirl and gently brushed the corners of Cen Ximian's robe, and subconsciously looked, Cen Xijun caught a glimpse of half of the white ankle without a full coat.

"I am willing to do it in silk, and the attachment is enough to maneuver." Somehow, such a sentence popped up in Cen Xi's mind. Although the original meaning of these words is not as simple as it seems, Cen Ximian feels that it is okay to be so 'shallow' at the moment.

"Is there anything else to do, young master?"

After half-branched the button, he turned around, and saw Cen Xi's eyes down and silent, but he was stunned. Banzhi interrupted him angrily, with some unconscious anger between his eyebrows.

Speaking of which, Banzhi was also a little annoyed, and he was reprimanded by Cen Xiyi, so he went to tidy up his clothes in a hurry, but now Banzhi also reacted, and at night, they are all ready to sleep, who is not 'disheveled'? What is unruly is Cen Xijun who knocked on the door of the maid's room in the middle of the night!

"Nothing."

Cen Ximian was confused by this hurried eyes, he didn't know why he came, and he didn't know what to say now. Therefore, he can only pretend to be serious about Banzhi's inquiry, after all, as long as his posture is serious enough, no one knows what crooked brains he has in his heart.

After Cen Xijun finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, Banzhi was so angry that he vomited blood, and he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and he had to disturb others!

“…… You rest earlier. ”

Cen Xi had already walked out four or five steps, but suddenly turned his head and said a word of concern to Banzhi.

“…… The young master too. ”

Banzhi stood at the door, pouting at the old Gao, who was originally puffing out, but after hearing Cen Xi's concern, he was inexplicably discouraged, not only that, but also replied a little shyly.

After speaking, he seemed to be annoyed, and hurriedly closed the door, and no longer bothered Cen Xijun.

Cen Xi looked at Banzhi's expression that had changed several times, and he was also confused, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart, could it be that he had done something wrong and annoyed the girl again?

Cen Xijun didn't know much about women's minds, and Yu Jin in the past only grew up together since childhood, so he knew a little more, and Yu Jin was dull, shy, and simple-minded, so it was not surprising that Cen Xijun could see through it. It's just that half a branch is so vivid, Cen Xijun has never seen it, so he can't guess it.

And a certain little girl in the door who is being remembered by Cen Xi is now rolling in the bed! Banzhi is a very delicate person, and he is also very sensitive, especially when other people's attitudes towards him change. It is with these keen perceptions that Banzhi handles the people around him.

In her opinion, today's greeting from Cen Xijun is already a softening of her attitude. Although Banzhi knew that Cen Xijun hated him, he knew in his heart that he still liked Cen Ximi's little girl in the end. No girl wants her sweetheart to hate her, isn't she all hoping that the other party can like her more?

Banzhi doesn't talk about it on weekdays, but today, Cen Xijun's change is so happy that she rolls on the bed.

Hu Mansion

"What is Jin'er thinking?"

As soon as Hu Peifu entered the room, he saw Yu Jin sitting on the makeup stool, combing his long hair that had been scattered, in a daze, and he didn't even notice that he was getting closer.

"Smack!"

Yu Jin was startled by Hu Pei's voice, his body trembled, and even the comb in his hand fell to the ground.

"Yo, why is Jin'er careless? I'll comb Jin'er's hair. ”

Hu Pei's expression was gloomy, although he smiled, his tone was indescribably cold. Yu Jin's body stiffened when he heard this, obviously very resistant to Hu Pei's approach, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to let Hu Pei move.

Hu Pei bowed down and picked up the wooden comb that fell at Yu Jin's feet, his fingertips deliberately rubbed Yu Jin's calves and slowly straightened up, and when the skirt that was brought up fell, Yu Jin's heart was raised high, with an unspeakable fear.

Hu Pei's waist and abdomen were tightly pressed against Yu Jin's somewhat trembling back, his hands gently combed Yu Jin's long hair, and a pair of softly contoured eyes looked at the woman who pursed her lips in the mirror, looking nervous, and slowly drew a smile on her face.

"Jin'er's hair is really good...... I don't know if Cen Xijun has combed Jin'er's hair like this? ”

Hu Pei asked casually, but Yu Jin was shocked by his words and broke out in a cold sweat. Sure enough, the next moment, Yu Jin felt a pain in her scalp, and she exhaled in pain:

"Ahh No, no! He didn't ......."

Hu Pei grabbed Yu Jin's lock of black hair, and exerted a lot of force in his hand, and with Yu Jin's answer, the strength in his hand became greater, and a lot of hair was broken in his hand.

"Oh? Jin'er is not well-behaved again...... How could Jin'er lie? Lying is punishable......"

Before Hu Pei's words fell, he suddenly exerted force in his hand, and the lock of black hair was forcibly pulled off Yu Jin's scalp.

"Ahh No! ”

Yu Jinhe had suffered so much that she fell directly from the stool in pain, and the tears that had been in her eyes for a long time also rolled down.

"What is Jin'er crying about? It was Jin'er who made a mistake, so I punished you, Jin'er can't cry! ”

Hu Pei didn't mean to help Yu Jin up, but just squatted down with Yu Jin's movements, looking at Yu Jin at level, faintly with some persecution.

Hu Pei had a smile on his face, and even his tone was soft and smiling, but Yu Jin didn't dare to cry anymore. She didn't dare to disobey Hu Pei's words, and she couldn't afford the consequences of disobeying Hu Pei.

It has only been half a month since Yu Jin married into the Hu Mansion, but Hu Pei has completely changed. Before getting married, whether it was in the eyes of outsiders or Yu Jin, Hu Pei could be called a gentleman, and Yu Jin still liked him a little. In the first few days after getting married, Yu Jin hadn't noticed anything abnormal, but slowly she found that something was not quite right with Hu Pei.

Hu Pei looked at Yu Jin very closely, and he usually wouldn't allow her to leave the house, even if he had to leave the house, Hu Pei would stay by Yu Jin's side. Just like a few days ago, Yu Jin received a post about a flower viewing party, as a new lady, Yu Jin had to move around, and Hu Pei knew that he would follow. Everyone only said that Hu Pei loved his wife, but Yu Jin was almost driven crazy by his actions to follow him step by step.

Hu Pei just accompanied Yu Jin, but every time he left the house, Hu Pei would order Yu Jin not to look at or talk to other men, if he disobeyed him, when he returned home, Yu Jin would definitely be tortured by him. or pulling his hair, or whipping, or tossing the bed, in short, Yu Jin's injuries were not healed.

Yu Jin was treated like this by Hu Pei, but there was nothing he could do. The mother-in-law obviously knew what Hu Pei had done, although she pitied her, she would not favor her, and on her mother's side, Yu Jin couldn't count on it - she cried with her mother when she returned to the door, but her parents only advised her to endure the humiliation, and Yu Jin knew that the Yu family would not offend Zhixian because of a daughter.

Yu Jin had no choice but to accept it, and slowly she knew how to survive in Hu Pei's hands. It turned out that the reason why Hu Pei became such a brutal character was because of Cen Ximi.

Hu Pei was born with the dazzling identity of the eldest son of the county magistrate, he himself is also angry, not to mention his brilliant mind, and his talent in poetry and books has been revealed early, and someone once asserted that Hu Pei will definitely become the youngest champion in Shanghai.

Before Cen Xijun was born, Hu Pei was the most high-profile and respected prodigy in Shanghai. But later Cen Xijun was born, and Hu Pei except for the identity of the son of the magistrate, everything else he owned was taken away by Cen Ximian.

Hu Pei was six years older than Cen Xijuan, and he had the lead in the imperial examination, but Cen Xijuan was too smart, and Hu Pei lost again, so when the imperial examination was cancelled, Hu Pei was worthy of the title of a tribute, and although Cen Xijuan only participated in the township examination, he was the youngest Xie Yuan in Shanghai. Many people say that if the imperial examination is not canceled, Cen Xijun must be a champion. As for Hu Pei, he has long been forgotten in the corner.

Where there are people, gossip is indispensable. Hu Pei and Cen Xijun are often used as after-dinner conversations, but no matter what the content of the conversation is, Cen Xijun is always sought after and praised, while Hu Pei is the one who is ridiculed and regretted.

Hu Pei's background is destined for his proud character, and there will inevitably be problems in the long run. I don't know when Hu Pei began to compete secretly with Cen Ximian, even if Cen Ximian didn't know the existence of his opponent, Hu Pei still enjoyed it.

Cen Xijun has a cold personality and is not close to others, so Hu Pei will make an approachable, humble and polite appearance; Cen Xijun is proficient in poetry and books but doesn't like business, so Hu Pei specializes in studying business and abandons literature to engage in business, in short, Cen Xijun doesn't like it, can't, and doesn't, then Hu Pei will inevitably find a way to get it.

This is also why Hu Pei would marry a woman who had withdrawn from marriage. Cen Xihuan loves Yu Jin very much, but he can't love it, such a scene is what Hu Pei wants to see in his dreams. Since it was such a good time to humiliate Cen Ximian, he would definitely not miss it.

As for why Yu Jin knew Hu Pei's secret thoughts, it was because when he went out once, Hu Pei stumbled upon Cen Xi's little guy following behind the two, and the little guy Yu Jin also recognized it, which was Cen Xi's usual Ah Yan.

That day, Hu Pei did not expose Ah Yan's tracking, but was very happy. It's just that after returning home, Yu Jin was tortured half to death, until Yu Jin lay at Hu Pei's feet in embarrassment and repeatedly promised that he would not have anything to do with Cen Xi, and Hu Pei let her go.

Thinking of the tragic experience of that day, Yu Jin only felt that the bones in his body ached faintly, and the resentment towards Cen Xijun in his heart was even deeper - if it weren't for Cen Xijun, how could she Yu Jin fall into such a situation!

Yu Jin used to be a lady who didn't know anything about the world, she was pampered by everyone in the palm of her hand, so she was kind, but now she is in hell, but she doesn't have a firm heart to maintain her kindness. She couldn't help but complain and hate, and Cen Xijun was forced to carry these emotions of hers.
