"No," Ruoxuan really didn't think that spending the night would hurt her, but as she said, she didn't dare to fully believe him, and it was also true

She lowered her eyes, feeling a little guilty, but she didn't want to lie to him

"I don't have much to do with you after all, I don't know you either, I know you won't hand me over to Empress Dowager Ning, but I don't know if you're really willing to help me and Mu Han."

"I'm not going to help anyone," Ye Qingying snorted coldly

He's a businessman, and he only wants to do things for profit, and he doesn't plan to do things that don't have profit

Seeing her gloomy eyes, he suddenly turned around and took her hand and led her to the front yard under the gazebo

After instructing his subordinates to bring refreshments, he sat down on a stone chair in the pavilion and motioned for her to come over: "Pinch my legs, I'm tired of running for the past two days."

Ruoxuan didn't say anything, half-knelt down beside him, and started to massage him

It's not very good, but Ye Qingying doesn't seem to have any opinions, but she thinks she's too weak

"Push harder," he said, closing his eyes

Ruoxuan increased her strength and waited attentively

The cool breeze blew through their clothes, and the green silk was comfortable and quiet, reflecting a warm picture that neither of them noticed, soft as the wind

After a while, he suddenly said: "I did tell Mu Han that I was willing to cooperate with him, but I have the conditions."

"What conditions," she looked up at him, and this time saw the faint tiredness on his brow

It turned out that he was really tired, and he said that he had run a lot of roads in the past two days, and he was probably not joking with her

Every time she saw him go out, he was in a hurry, and he would come back soon after he went out, and she thought that he was just going to the nearby Yeshi's place to inspect the work, but now it seems that the place he went to was not just the nearby Yeshi

But he didn't say it, and she didn't bother to ask, because after all, she wasn't too familiar with people

"My conditions ......" he paused, and suddenly exhaled lightly, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "I'm not going to tell you yet, but I don't want to cooperate with them immediately, after all, I don't know how strong they are now."

He always had to look at it first to see if the deal was really worth investing in

He doesn't like to fight battles that he doesn't know, and of course he knows that sometimes the more dangerous it is, the greater the benefits of success, but that has to be done after understanding their situation

"I'm going to the ranch, do you want to come with me to have a look," he said suddenly

"Ranch" Ruoxuan blinked with a hint of confusion: "Didn't you say that I didn't even get out of the door of the Night Mansion easily?"

"It's not easy for you to go by yourself," he pursed his thin lips with a hint of disdain

Ruo Xuan understood, he meant that he wanted to take her out in person

"Which ranch are you going to and what do you want to do?" she had been anxious to go to Dongzhou early, and she didn't want to waste too much time here at all

As if seeing through her thoughts, Ye Qingying said disapplausively: "Guess what my ranch raises?"

Ruoxuan lowered her eyes, seemingly concentrating on massaging for him, but in fact she was thinking about it, and after a while, she looked up at him with a sunny and satisfied face, her eyebrows and eyes curled, and she smiled: "War horse"

……

Tonight the moon is sparse and the stars are scarce, it is a clear night, and after nightfall, an uninvited guest came to the night house

Ruoxuan had promised her to come here in three days, and Ye Qingying also said that she should take the guqin and play a song for him

So, on the night of the third day, Liu Ruyue came, and she was followed by two maidservants, one holding a guqin, and the other holding a brocade box

When they came, Ruoxuan and Ye Qingying were playing chess in the bedroom, although Ruo Xuan had just learned this kind of war chess, and her skills were very poor, but Ye Qingying was not embarrassed to give in, she allowed her to play three moves, and even let her have twenty pieces

However, after a few games in a row, Ruoxuan still lost a lot, and before she could go a few times, she had already lost all the games

"Again," she said, not discouraged at all, and set up the chessboard again, putting the pieces back into the jar

Ye Qingying just looked at her and smiled lightly, and when she put the chess pieces away, she said, "You come first."

"Good"

Ruo Xuan raised Bai Zi and was thinking about which step to fall on, but Yue'er's voice came from outside the door: "Master, Mrs., Miss Liu from Lanyue Tower is visiting, do you want to see me?"

"Why don't you see it" Ye Qingying's eyebrows lit up, and the sunspot on his fingertips casually fell back into the chess jar, got up and walked towards the door

Ruo Xuan glanced up at his figure and couldn't help but sneer: "Sure enough, rich men are not good things."

As soon as he heard that people were looking for him, he ignored everything, and it was no different from a hungry ghost in his lust

Of course, Ye Qingying didn't leave her behind, and when she just went out, she remembered that there was someone behind her, and looked back at her and smiled: "You go with me Miss Liu's piano skills are famous in the whole of Liuzhou, and I think you will like it too."

Ruo Xuan pursed her lips and wanted to refuse, but thinking about it, it seemed too childish to refuse, not to mention that she herself promised to let that Liu girl come to the house as a guest

After thinking about it, and enduring the inexplicable sulking in her heart, she stood up and followed

Liu Ruyue was waiting in the side hall, and when she saw Ye Qingying and Ruoxuan enter the door together, she hurriedly stood up and beckoned the maid holding the brocade box behind her to greet her

"Shadow, we're meeting again," she owed to Ye Qingying, and then looked at Ruoxuan again and smiled: "Miss Ruoxuan, last time I said to send you some congratulatory gifts, now I sent it over."

Turned around and took the brocade box from the handmaid's hand, handed it to Ruoxuan with both hands, and smiled gently: "This is my little heart, don't mind, girl."

In fact, Ye Qingying said that Ruoxuan was his mother, and it was not reasonable for this Liu girl to call herself a "girl".

But Ruo Xuan didn't care Knowing that she coveted her as a nominal husband in her heart Three days ago she was still thinking about matching them I don't know why I thought of her mind three days later There was a little bit of a bad feeling in my heart

She took the brocade box, smiled shyly, and said warmly, "Thank you."

I didn't open the brocade box, but handed it to Yue'er, who was standing quietly behind me, and said lightly: "Help me send things back, and I'll take a closer look when I go back later."

"Yes, madam," Yue'er took it, glanced at Liu Ruyue, her eyes were full of disdain, and she turned around and left the side hall

In the past, when the lord didn't marry a lady, even if the people from the land of fireworks came to the door, they didn't feel anything as subordinates, but now that the lord has married a lady, they are still entangled, but last month was a little unhappy

Mrs. is her master No matter how she says, she will also stand on Mrs. Turning back, I have to introduce this surname Liu to Mrs. This girl Liu is clearly eyeing their master The person who came is not good Madame is too kind to be fooled by her How can she watch Madame suffer

In the past, Liu Ruyue often came here, obviously to play music for the old man, but in fact, she was extremely demagogic She has never liked this kind of girl

Not only Yue'er, but the people of the entire night house are afraid and don't like it
