"But Miss, you have Miss Shen. You still have daddy pain. Those of us who were handmaidens were sold to the house as maids since we were children. Thankfully, though, I was able to meet Miss. In this life, I can have the company of the young lady, and the lotus flower already feels very honored. The lotus comforted Liu Yun'er. In fact, in their eyes, the lives of these masters are excellent. If you want to say envy, she is quite envious. However, the poverty of the newborn family is not something she can decide, and she does not complain about God's injustice, because she knows that everyone always has their own value and meaning of existence.

Just like she can use her life to protect Xia Zhixue for the rest of her life, this is the fate of her lotus.

"But, why are you so protective of your young lady?" Liu Yun'er was a little puzzled. In her eyes, there is a difference between master and servant, and people live for themselves. Like Lotus to Xia Zhixue, she is about to take Xia Zhixue as her life.

Lotus smiled, Xia Zhixue had the grace of knowing her. In the eyes of other people, her lotus flower is the life of a maidservant, but in Xia Zhixue's eyes, the lotus is more of a friend. This kind of Xia Zhixue has a meaning that can be countered by fate for lotus flowers.

"Forget it, forget it......" Liu Yun'er waved her hand, she was not Lotus and Xia Zhixue, she didn't understand what they had experienced between them, and it was impossible to empathize and fully understand the two people. Shall we hurry back? It's getting late, and my mother and I should go back. ”

Liu Yun'er returned to Xia Zhixue's courtyard accompanied by lotus flowers and little lotus, and when twilight fell, there was already a little starlight in the sky. "Mother, it's time for us to go." Liu Yun'er urged the two people who were still talking.

may not have had any bosom friends since childhood, Liu Yuner really doesn't understand why two women can have so many things to say.

Shen Liu glanced up at the sky outside before realizing that it was already night. "You two and us, just talking, didn't even notice that so much time had passed!"

Xia Zhixue also looked at the sky outside, and unconsciously the candles on the table had been added several times.

"Why don't you and Yun'er sleep in my room tonight. You'll go back early tomorrow morning, right? ”

"It's not good...... Shen Liu frowned, she knew that Xia Zhixue's life in Xiahou Mansion was not easy, and she was afraid of being left behind every step of the way. Xia Zhiqiu's temperament, with Shen Wei, can't tell you behind your back? ”

Xia Zhixue smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Anyway, it's not a matter of a day or two." And it's getting late, and I always don't feel at ease when you two go back. Xiaoyanagi, you just listen to me, let's stay for one night today. ”

Liu Yun'er on the side looked at Xia Zhixue and Shen Liu worriedly, so she really stayed here tonight, so she only let her mother and aunt be able to say that it was dawn the next day, right?

"Yun'er, what do you think?" Shen Liu set his eyes on Liu Yun'er, trying to find the answer from Liu Yun'er's eyes.

"Shall we stay here for one night?" Liu Yun'er smiled all over her face, since her mother and aunt have so much to say, she should be an adult, and Shen Liu has no one to talk to in Prince Yong's mansion, so she must be suffocated. Although I don't like this waiting house very much, but my aunt is alone in this empty waiting house, and it is indeed a little unkind.

"Since they are all here, they should let their mothers have enough fun, so that when they return to the palace, they won't miss their aunts anymore!"

In fact, the main thing is to take into account that there is no one who can be trusted to escort him and his mother in the dark, except for Prince Yong, Liu Yun'er does not believe in the ability of any other man. Now that Prince Yong is not in the palace and is serving the country on the front line, she is not worried about going back alone with her mother. schoolgirl

Anyway, when I returned to Prince Yong's mansion without Prince Yong, I could only rely on the two of them as companions, so it was better to have an aunt here to talk for a while.

Xia Zhixue listened to Liu Yun'er's words and laughed. She suddenly realized that she hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time. All the worries are piled up in my heart, and how can I relax and laugh. Unexpectedly, laughing from the heart now is already a great luxury for Xia Zhixue.

At night, Lotus arranged a room for Liu Yun'er alone, and Shen Liu and Xia Zhixue lay on the same bed. The originally spacious bed has now become a little narrow, but this can't resist Xia Zhixue's inner happiness. How long did it take for him and Shen Liu to lie on the same bed again, talking to each other.

Not long after lying down, Xia Zhixue's keen ears heard some strange sounds, and she quickly covered Shen Liu's mouth, when a sneaky figure suddenly appeared at the door. Shen Liu said that Xia Zhixue's fingers looked and found this small figure.

Lotus didn't even find this figure on duty tonight, obviously the person who came may have brought down Lotus. The fear in their hearts gradually floated in the hearts of Xia Zhixue and Shen Liu.

Shen Liu held Xia Zhixue's hand tightly, and whispered softly in Xia Zhixue's ear, "If there is any accident today, Ouyang Huaisong will definitely not let this person go!" ”

Xia Zhixue looked at Shen Liu with a firm face, "What are you talking about, Xiaoliu, we'll be fine." "To be able to act so boldly in the Houfu, you must know very well about the furnishings in the Houfu, that is, an acquaintance committed a crime. Could it be Luo Licheng? Xia Zhixue's heart was clouded.

She began to have a trace of repentance in her heart, if she hadn't insisted on leaving Shen Liu today, Shen Liu would not have experienced tonight's events with her. "I'm sorry, Xiaoyanagi, if I hadn't asked you to stay tonight, you wouldn't have been affected by me......"

Xia Zhixue's voice was close to choking, if it was really Luo Licheng, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

At this time, bursts of residual heat gradually came from his hands, and it was Shen Liu who was constantly transmitting power to himself, "Don't say that, Zhixue." We're going to get through it! ”

However, the fear in my heart deepened for the figure that was gradually approaching in front of me. Xia Zhixue suddenly remembered that there was a sharp dagger in the mezzanine under her pillow, which she had put in a long time ago. Just when he knew that he was reborn, in order to guard against the enemy at any time, Xia Zhixue hid this life-saving thing at the head of the bed.

Xia Zhixue's hand gently reached into the mezzanine under the pillow, and after a while of groping, she finally felt the familiar touch, Xia Zhixue gently took out the dagger and said to Shen Liu,

"Xiaoyanagi, listen to me, when the murderer comes, I'll stab him first, and then you run to the door. Leave me alone, call for helpers to come and save me......"

"But......" Shen Liu couldn't bear to leave Xia Zhixue alone in this dangerous situation.

"Nothing. The most important thing now is to survive. Only if you have a chance to escape, we will have a chance to live! ”

Xia Zhixue silently counted in her heart, she had never killed anyone with a knife, and there was no such dangerous situation so far, but today she was really out of the way. She can't fall into the hands of the enemy a second time and be at the mercy of others.
