"Jin'er, why do you say you're lying? I remember when you were 10 years old, you fell down...... You cry and your bun falls apart...... It's Cen Xi's hair that pulled you up! ”

Before Yu Jin had time to complain about Cen Xijun, he was regained by Hu Pei's sympathetic voice. The man's hand was warm, covering Yu Jin's tear-stained left cheek, gently rubbing, Yu Jin felt a little itchy, but he didn't dare to move at all.

Hu Pei's words forced Yu Jin to recall carefully, if he couldn't give him an explanation, Yu Jin's fate would definitely be miserable.

Hu Pei is talking about Yu Jin when he was ten years old, and on the day of Yu Chen's birthday, the Yu family held a banquet. Yu Jin was cowardly, and was embarrassed by other ladies at the banquet and fell. It was embarrassing to describe, and it happened that Cen Xijun was present to help Yu Jin, and also pulled her hair for her.

But this was already seven or eight years ago, if it weren't for Hu Pei talking about it, Yu Jin would have forgotten it a long time ago. What shocked Yu Jin even more was that Hu Pei was paying attention to Cen Xijun's every move at that time!

"Husband...... It was an accident! I don't dare anymore, I don't dare......"

What Hu Pei said was the truth, Yu Jin couldn't deny it, so he could only shake his body, reluctantly meet Hu Pei's angry eyes, and couldn't stop apologizing.

"Alas...... I know that my Jin'er doesn't want to be touched by Cen Xi'......"

Hu Pei withdrew the hand covering Yu Jin's face, turned his eyes down, and said meaninglessly.

"Yes...... I don't want to, it's him! It's his nosy......"

Yu Jin saw that Hu Pei was a little loose, so he hurriedly catered to his words and nodded respectfully.

"But...... Jin'er, you were still touched, what can I do? …… If you don't do something for me, and if it's done, I'll forgive you...... If you can't do it......"

Hu Pei said, some rough hands caressed Yu Jin's neck, and there was a tendency to gradually tighten, completely ignoring the woman's trembling frightened appearance, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I'll do it, I'll do it...... I'll do it! ”

Hu Pei's words were not finished, but Yu Jin heard his threat. They were almost frightened by him, where could they refuse his request.

"Huh...... Jin'er is so well-behaved...... You said you were so well-behaved, why didn't Cen Xijun worry about you? How could he not be worried? ”

Hu Pei chuckled, but his face became more and more gloomy.

This is obviously not something that a normal person can say, a man actually wants his wife to be remembered by other men all the time! If it was at the beginning, Yu Jin would only feel humiliated when she heard such words, but now that she has been completely tamed by Hu Pei's cruel methods, she only felt a burst of panic when she heard this again.

No one can know better than Yu Jin that Hu Pei put her by his side just because he could find superiority in Cen Xijun through her! And all this gives Cen Ximian his love for her, if this love disappears, then Yu Jin will lose its value, Hu Pei will not leave a waste by his side, waiting for her will either be abandoned or die. Either way, Yu Jin can't afford it.

Yu Jin was afraid to die, and Hu Pei was not happy. There was no other reason, but he found that Ah Yan no longer secretly inquired about Yu Jin's news, and there was no one else wandering around Hu Mansion. All these phenomena show that Cen Xijun is not interested in Yu Jin!

The joy that Hu Pei just had that was better than Cen Xi's head disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he was unwilling!

"So...... Jin'er, go and regain Cen Xi's favor, let him fall in love with you and can't extricate himself...... And you, forever belong to me! ”

Hu Pei stood up suddenly, pinched Yu Jin's thin waist and brought her up from the ground by the way, leaned his head, his warm lips held Yu Jin's cold earlobe, and ordered a little vaguely.

“…… yes, I see......"

With such an ambiguous action, Yu Jin had the illusion of being entangled in his neck by a poisonous snake, but his mind was still sober and responded to Hu Pei's orders.

"Huh...... Jin'er, let me spoil you......"

Hu Pei was very useful for Yu Jin's submission, and he didn't look at the woman's frightened appearance, but only picked him up horizontally and strode to the bed......

"Twigs!"

Banzhi was embroidering a handkerchief in the room, when he suddenly heard a call.

"Sister Bell! There you are! ”

When Banzhi looked up, he saw the bell standing in the doorway and smiling at him.

"Sister, come in!"

Banzhi hadn't seen the bell for several days, and when she came over today, she was also very happy, and hurriedly got up to welcome people in.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, sister, why did my sister have time to come and see me today?"

Banzhi sat down with the bell in his arms, pretending to be angry, but his hand refused to be withdrawn from the crook of the bell's arm.

"You! Madame is looking for you, so I'm here to send you a message. ”

The bell scraped the nose of the lower half of the branch a little funny, and reluctantly pinched the white and tender face of the half branch, which made it clear.

“…… So that's the case, then I'll go with you. ”

As soon as Banzhi heard Mrs.'s summons, she didn't have the joy she imagined, she only felt a little tricky, after all, she was now Cen Xi's maid, and Mrs. Cen summoned her, most likely to ask Cen Ximian about it. Thinking of this, Banzhi felt a headache.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Xu misses you, you don't have to be nervous."

Bell looked at the half-branched smile, and felt a little pity for the little girl for a while. Such a good girl, but she was used as a room, and this life can be regarded as ruined in this deep mansion compound.

Although the bell is also a maid, it has no intention of clinging to the master. After all, she can see clearly that it is better to marry an ordinary family as a wife than to be a concubine for a rich and noble family. Originally, she had also worked as a maid in other houses, and she had seen a lot of private affairs in the main room to grind the concubine, and she was so tragic that she was afraid to think about it.

Bell couldn't help but sigh, she liked this girl very much, so she was also a little worried about her future, although the young master has not yet married a wife, but sooner or later this Cen Mansion will have a young grandmother, if it is a gentle and tolerant person, if it is a powerful means......

"Sister, let's go."

Before the bell could think deeply, it was interrupted by half a branch. When I looked up, I saw that half of the branch had been packed up and was standing beside me waiting.

"Okay."

……

"Slave and maid half a branch to the lady to say goodbye!"

Due to the change of identity, Banzhi has not seen Mrs. Cen for a long time. In the past, when she was by her side, Banzhi didn't have to bow down, but now goodbye, Banzhi still chose to kneel and kowtow.

Banzhi knelt on the ground, knocked his forehead on the cold ground, and asked Mrs. Cen for peace, but Mrs. Cen seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for Banzhi, so she only let her kneel like this, and did not ask her to get up.

Mrs. Cen was reclining on the chaise longue, and a girl kneeling on the side of the collapse pinched her legs, and Mrs. Cen closed her eyes and enjoyed it, completely forgetting the half branch that she was still kneeling on.

"Get up."

It took about half an hour before Mrs. Cen opened her mouth to let half of the branch go.

"Slave and maid, Mrs. Xie."

Banzhi was not in a hurry to get up, only kowtowed again, and then stood up tremblingly on the floor.

"Alright, you guys go down first!"

Mrs. Cen didn't have any expression on her face, but she withdrew from the people in the room first.

"Do you know why I punished you?"

Mrs. Cen set her eyes on Banzhi, who was hanging her head, and answered again without waiting for her to answer.

"I asked you to be a room girl for your family to take care of him, not to annoy him!"

Mrs. Cen frowned slightly, and her tone was stern.

"It's the slave's fault, please punish the lady."

Half of the branch knelt down again with a 'poof', and his smooth forehead slammed firmly on the ground. Regarding Mrs. Cen's words, Banzhi had no reason to refute it, so he could only admit his mistake. There was some sourness in my heart, and I wanted to cry but I had to hold back. Banzhi should have understood that since she became a person in Cen Xi's family's room, she was destined to no longer be the little maid who was by Mrs. Cen's side to please Mrs. Cen at the beginning.

Banzhi knew that in Mrs. Cen's heart, she would always be the most important thing in Cen Xi's family, but when she remembered the days when Mrs. Cen smiled and talked to her, she still felt aggrieved. Half Branch was born to experience the care from relatives, as soon as she met Mrs. Cen, she treated Half Branch so well, Half Branch actually regarded her as an elder in her selfish heart. Serving Mrs. wholeheartedly is not only because of repaying her kindness, but also out of sincerity, and now she seems to have experienced the sad state of mind when she was abandoned by the Wang family and his wife in the mass grave.

"If you don't know what is wrong, what is the use of me punishing you! Just now, I saw that my family was thinner again, and the clothes on his body were also thin, why don't you know how to take care of him when you are the person in his room! ”

The more Mrs. Cen talked, the more angry she became, when she chose half a branch, she also looked at the half branch and was considerate and delicate, but now it is better to change to someone else!

"It's the slave and maid who are negligent, and the slave and maid will definitely serve the young master well in the future, and please ask the lady to calm her anger."

Banzhi endured the tears in his eyes, and kowtowed to Mrs. Cen again, admitting his mistake very sincerely.

"It's good that you know...... Alright, you go back! ”

Mrs. Cen was also punished, and she said it, but she was not interested in talking more with half of the branches, so she sent the person away.

"The slave and maid are gone."

Half of the branch stood up on the ground and retreated with normal steps. It wasn't until she walked out of Mrs. Cen's yard that she completely relaxed, and the pain from her knees made a layer of cold sweat appear on her back.

……

"Young master, it's time to eat!"

As soon as Banzhi returned to the yard, he went to the kitchen non-stop and prepared lunch for Cen Ximi. Originally, Cen Xi's courtyard had a small kitchen, but because Cen Xijun was not particular about his meals, he sent people to the big kitchen in the house to get his food, and the small kitchen in the courtyard was only used to boil water.

But today, Mrs. Cen's words have been put down, which means that Banzhi will take over everything in Cen Xi's life. Cen Xi's family is thin, Banzhi has to cook soup for him, Cen Xi's clothes are old, so Banzhi has to sew new clothes for him, although all this is done, but half a branch can not be less. In other words, no matter whether Cen Xi needs it or not, half of the branch has to rush to serve. Otherwise, Mrs. Cen will blame half a branch again.

Half of the branches can't, so they have to obey, and that's the case for now. Cen Xi looked at the extraordinarily sumptuous lunch on the table, raised his eyebrows slightly, and was a little surprised—not only because there were more of them, but also because of the great difference in the dishes. Most of the meals are very good-looking, but a few of them look a little ...... Not satisfactory.

"New chef in the kitchen?"

Cen Xijun didn't know about Mrs. Cen's summons for Banzhi, so he didn't know much about Banzhi's cooking. Right now, I just thought it was a newcomer in the big kitchen.

"Back to the young master, look at the ugly dishes...... It was burned by slaves and maids. ”

Banzhi looked at Cen Xi's playful gaze but was also honest, quite a sense of righteousness.

"You did it? It's unusual. ”

Cen Xijun was a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately gave birth to a smile. After a little ridicule, he took the chopsticks and took the lead in tasting a stir-fried loofah made of half a branch.

"Hmm...... The taste is acceptable. ”

Cen Xijun nodded slightly, which can be regarded as an affirmation of Banzhi's cooking skills.

Banzhi didn't care about it, but he couldn't help but look at him quietly when Cen Xijun picked up the chopsticks, and now he listened to his affirmation, but he was relieved.

Cen Xiyu glanced at the little girl who was obviously relieved, bent the corners of her mouth slightly, and quietly ate a mouthful of rice, suppressing the salty taste remaining in her mouth.

At this meal, Cen Xijun ate one more bowl than usual, and most of the dishes made by Banzhi were missing. When she was cleaning up the dishes, Banzhi also sighed, it seems that her craftsmanship is still good, at least it meets Cen Ximi's appetite.

But in fact, Banzhi's cooking skills are not as good as she imagined. Although the three meals were made by half a branch when they were in the Wang family, and the Wang family never complained about the cooking skills of half a branch, it was only because the Wang family ate wild vegetables and sweet potatoes all year round, and it was difficult to make it unpalatable and delicious with these two ingredients. So Banzhi was not picky, but the food she cooked today was a little heavier for Cen Xijun.

However, Cen Xijun intends to support the scene, and Banzhi doesn't know this.

……

"Young Master, do you have time now? The slave takes your measurements. ”

After lunch, Banzhi was called to the study by Cen Xijun to study ink for him. Now seeing him holding his head and closing his eyes tiredly, Banzhi offered to measure his size for him, so that he could slow down, so as not to hurt his body by sitting for a long time.

"Size?"

When Cen Xijun heard this, he opened his eyes, still holding his head, but he turned his head to look at the little girl standing on the side, and the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, with a bit of laziness.

"Well, seeing that autumn is coming, the slave wants to make thicker clothes for the young master."

Although these things were all ordered by Mrs. Cen to be done by Banzhi, but after digging deeper, Banzhi may not be willing to do these things for Cen Xiyi, so Banzhi still couldn't help blushing when he talked about it.

"Huh...... When did you become so considerate? ”

Since the last time Banzhi was sick, Cen Ximi's attitude towards Banzhi has obviously improved a lot, and sometimes I don't know if it's an illusion of Banzhi, it seems that Cen Xijun always intends to tease her. Just like now, Cen Xi looked at Banzhi, with a smile in his words, that is, even the cold eyebrows and eyes were much gentler, such a sultry and unconscious demeanor made Banzhi shake his head.

"Then you measure!"

Cen Xi looked at the girl who was a little stunned, with a smile in her eyes, and agreed to her request in a good mood.

"Ah...... Oh, okay, I'm going to get the soft ruler. ”

Banzhi came back to his senses, was a little embarrassed, only hurriedly answered, and ran out in a panic.

Cen Xi looked at the half-branch of the braid dangling on his waist, his expression was soft, but when he saw the little girl's awkward walking posture, his expression darkened, and it was obvious that he had hurt his leg.
