Chapter 204: Giving a Dowry, Showing Favor?
In front of the mirror, Wan Xiu stared at her face, a tender white face, but the trace on her cheeks like a thin hair pierced her heart deeply.
The face has not completely returned to its previous smooth and traceless appearance, and it is all covered by rouge and gouache. The embarrassment of that day is vivid, and it is a pain that she will never forget in her life.
Wan Xiu took a deep breath and pressed his temples hard. But when she was done, she found that the scratched place on her face was ......... There was still a faint pain.
Whether it was heartache or face pain, she knew it in her heart.
Who was that masked man that night? Wan Xiu vowed to find out and cut him with a thousand knives, so that he would die without a place to be buried.
In the mirror, a pair of inky black peach blossom eyes are very smart and bewildering, and the immature face, with Wan Xiu's current mood, was originally a very discordant existence, but it made the eyes in the mirror become deep and magnificent, and at a casual glance, there was a kind of thrilling beauty!
It's justβ
Wan Xiu tilted his head sideways and moved the scratched half closer to the bronze mirror. I feel lost, and this half of my face will need rouge gouache to take care of it in the future.
Butβ
Ling Xinan is finally going to become her husband, she should forget the resentment in her heart and usher in happiness.
When Wan Xiu dressed up and went out, He Baolin stood outside the door and waited, and when he saw Wan Xiu, he bowed his head to her, "Miss, you are looking for me." β
Wan Xiu then remembered that he had asked the maid to find him early in the morning, and after glancing at him, he said with a straight face, "Miss Ben wants you to give up the idea of killing Liu Piaoyi for the time being." β
He Baolin was hesitant to do it, but when he heard Wan Xiu say this, he still wanted to ask the reason.
"Why?" He Baolin's eyebrows moved slightly, staring at her expression.
Wan Xiu smiled indifferently, "Ling Xinan promised to marry me, and he didn't want to make any stubble before I got married, ruining my marriage." If during this period, because of Liu Piao's memory, Ling Xinan regretted it, then how sad I would be, don't you say? β
It was not easy for Ling Xinan to make this decision, and Wan Xiu never wanted to ruin it.
He Baolin was stunned, and Mu Ran replied to her, "Okay." β
His expression was not good, and he was not interested, but because the woman in front of him did not have half of his place in his heart.
"It's okay." Wan Xiu glanced at him lazily, He Baolin understood that he didn't want to see him, so he bowed and walked away silently.
"Miss Wanxiu." He Baolin walked away, and suddenly someone next to him saluted.
Wan Xiu looked up in confusion and saw the maid Hua Ying in Qinghui Garden. Wan Xiu frowned silently, it was rare for someone from Qinghui Garden to come to her courtyard.
"What?" Wan Xiu asked coolly.
Hua Ying was very respectful, "Fourth young grandmother, please come and sit down." β
Wan Xiu sneered, but she wondered what Liu Piaoyi's purpose was for looking for her, it must be because of Ling Xinan, otherwise, she couldn't think of any reason for Liu Piaoyi to find her on purpose.
What's wrong with that? Wan Xiu is not afraid at all, even if Liu Piaoyi knows that she once used a puppet to harm her, in this prime minister's mansion, she is still an upright young lady, what are you afraid of.
Yes, she came to Qinghui Garden generously. Now her location is a vacant lot in the center of the garden of Qinghui Garden, surrounded by various rockeries, grass and trees, and the east side corridor is completely blocked behind a rockery from this position, and nothing can be seen.
The willow memory is under the porch.
Hua Ying took Wan Xiu around the garden and brought it to Liu Piaoyi. Wan Xiu couldn't help but feel excited, sitting outside on a cold day, what did he want to do? You don't have to go to a lonely place in the garden to meet and talk.
Liu Piaoyao smiled and waved his hand, "Sit." β
Now it's freezing outside, and it really doesn't want to stay longer, but the hot tea on the low table is steaming, and Wan Xiu still sits down. A heavy ink color rolled up at the bottom of her deep eyes, and she asked with a smile, "What is the matter with the fourth sister-in-law looking for Wan Xiu?" β
Liu Piaofeng smiled lightly and looked at her seriously, "Congratulations." β
Just to say 'congratulations'? Wan Xiu stiffened, and his eyes looked deeply at Liu Piao. I saw that her long eyebrows were slightly raised, her peach blossom eyes bent with a touch of arc, her light and watery ink black revealed a touch of laziness, her nose was straight, and her pink lips were like flowers.
Once upon a time, Wan Xiu admitted that from the moment Liu Piaoyi entered the mansion, she knew that the woman in front of her would be the object of many men's affections. But Wan Xiu hopes that there will be no Ling Xinan among those men who love Liu Piaomei, but Ling Xinan is still someone who has had a relationship with her for a few years.
The last thing Wan Xiu wanted to admit was the last thing he wanted to admit. Thinking of this, Wan Xiu's expression darkened, and his tone was cool, "The fourth sister-in-law is a sincere blessing?!" β
Liu Piaoyi didn't rush to reply to her words, but pushed a delicate box on several tables in front of her, and smiled indifferently, "This is for you." β
Wan Xiu opened the box with a puzzled face, and inside was a pair of bracelets made of blue and white jade made of Hetian seeds, which were very elegant and beautiful.
"It'sβ" She didn't understand, staring at the willow in her memory.
Liu Piaoyi was very indifferent, "I gave it to you as a dowry, although it was given by my mother, but it is also my heart." β
Wan Xiu looked surprised. How? Congratulations from the heart?! But she couldn't tell whether Liu Piaoyi's behavior was true or false, but it still touched her.
"Don't like it?" Seeing that she was stunned for a moment, Liu Piaoyi asked with a faint smile.
"Nope." Wan Xiu smiled back at her, paused and said, "Thank you!" β
When Wan Xiu left with her brocade box, Liu Piaoyi stood under the porch, her eyes condensed at Wan Xiu's back until she disappeared. It was cold, so I didn't have to stay outside for a long time, so I elegantly tidied up the pink butterfly skirt wearing flowers, and walked leisurely to the house with lotus steps.
She was not displeased, but relieved because Ling Xinan really wanted to marry Wan Xiu.
He should have his own feelings, and it was right to forget about her. That's the only way to do it.
Outside the city, a bamboo forest by the river.
Rows of green bamboos, like a natural protective barrier, stand firmly on the riverbank, guarding a long-standing river. The sunset shines on the rows of green bamboos from the west, like a shining sword, which looks particularly dazzling and dazzling.
Xuan Yue stood by the bamboo forest river, her expression was still condensed, as if she was waiting for someone.
Suddenly, a dark shadow descended from the sky.
Xuan Yue's eyes just flashed, not much nervous, and looked at the person calmly.
"It's done." After speaking, Xuan Yue stretched out her hand and asked for something.
The person who came was Yao Zhi, a brocade dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, he smiled slightly, did not speak, and directly threw a bag of silver into Xuan Yue's hand.
Xuan Yue weighed it, probably knew how much, was very satisfied, and said, "Thank you, the adult is still keeping his word." β
Yao Zhi stared at Xuan Yue meaningfully, and explained, "Master Zhang said, you don't have to appear in the capital from now on, I hope you keep your promise, if you violate your conscience again, kill people and set fires, Jinyiwei will also kill you." There won't be any more good things like this. β
Xuan Yue immediately nodded hurriedly, "Understand, Xuan Yue can get out of the prison of Beizhen Fusi, but Lord Zhang gave Xuan Yue a kindness, how can Xuan Yue not be grateful to Dade, from now on, he will never be a traitor, and he will definitely be a good citizen." β
"That's very good." Yao Zhizheng said, his body jumped, and disappeared into the bamboo forest.
With the silver, Xuan Yue was very happy, she could finally regain her free body again, and she didn't have a big meal. She didn't dare to go to the capital again, but temporarily stayed in an inn in the suburbs. In the lobby, excitedly called the guys.
"I want a plate of beef, a grilled fish, a pork rib soup, two bowls of rice, and chili peppers alone, be fast!" To tell the truth, Xuanyue was also hungry, and she hid in the wild since she came out of the palace, not daring to move.
"Ahh The little second was stunned in place, he had never seen such an order in the inn for more than ten years.
"Xiao Er, why are you stunned! Serve as ordered! This girl was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. Xuan Yue patted the table and urged.
"Good, good!" The little two came back to his senses and went to prepare the dishes with a puzzled face.
The dishes were all ready, Xuanyue couldn't wait, and immediately ate it. Suddenly, behind her, someone slapped the table vigorously.
The beef that Xuan Yue had just picked up in his hand instantly fell onto the plate. A hint of coldness flashed in her big eyes, how could she not even have a meal to make people worry?
"Boss, why do you have flies in this dish?"
Behind Xuan Yue, there was a table of two well-dressed young men.
A man dressed in dark green, who looks like a human, but his hooligan behavior is really unpleasant! The other man next to him had a gloating look on his face that was disgusting.
Xuanyue will have something to eat, and she is too lazy to meddle! She bowed her head and concentrated on eating.
Soon, the innkeeper walked up to the two respectfully. "Guest, our store has always been very clean, how can there be flies?"
When the dark green man heard this, he squinted dangerously at the innkeeper and sneered, "You're blind, aren't there flies on the plate?!" See for yourself, disgusting or not? β
The dark green man was swaggering, and his face was on his face
, clearly written deliberately two words.
The innkeeper glanced at them, as if he was not afraid of these two people, stroked the short beard on his mouth, and looked at the two of them coldly, "Is it possible that the guest officer wants to eat white food?!" β
This sentence angered the two men. "Smack!" The man in the dark green shirt slapped the table vigorously and said angrily, "Do you know who we are, and I'm afraid that we won't have any money to give!" β
The innkeeper's face was not very good, but he still didn't take the two people in front of him in his eyes, "Then the guest officer, you just deliberately found fault, didn't you?"
The man in dark green clothes suddenly flipped the table, and the food on the table was suddenly shattered, and he said angrily, "What's wrong with finding fault?!" β
At this time, the innkeeper's face sank, his fists were clenched, and before the guests in the lobby could react, he saw that the middle-aged shopkeeper punched over, and the man in dark green clothes had fallen to the ground, stroking his chest in unbearable pain. Seeing this, the other man swung his fist at the shopkeeper.
For a while, there was a lot of commotion in the lobby of the inn, and some guests who ate stayed away, but only Xuan Yue sat in her place without fear of anything and ate seriously, for fear that if she used silver, the table would be full of dishes wasted.
At this time, someone walked out of the room on the second floor and stood on the corridor looking down at everything in the lobby.
The man's gaze couldn't help but deepen, staring closely at Xuan Yue, who was not flustered, with a touch of inquiry in his deep eyes.
