In fact, even without Tang Qianqian's words, because of the snow wolf dog, Bai Lingwei was also sensitive to Shui Qingqing's unusualness, and she was already suspicious of her.

On that day, Shui Qingqing's ruthless appearance when she slaughtered the snow wolf dog in front of her, Bai Lingwei could see it clearly.

She was shocked to find that such a Sheng Yu was very different from the usual Sheng Yu who was submissive and flattered herself.

The ruthless and murderous aura made Bai Lingwei frightened, and she was even more wary of her.

And now when she heard Tang Qianqian's words again, Bai Lingwei's heart seemed to be pierced into a deep thorn, making her unable to live in peace for a moment.

Not only that, intuitively, Bai Lingwei always felt that Mei Zijin's dislike for this Sheng Yu was far less than her disgust when she first entered the Hou Mansion. even sometimes makes her have the illusion that Hou Ye clearly ignores Sheng Yu, but this is not the case in her heart......

The more she thought about it, the more panicked Bai Lingwei became, she was already suspicious, and she no longer dared to take Shui Qingqing lightly, so she could only rest assured by sending her out of the Hou Mansion.

She thought of what Mrs. Hou once said, as long as she meets the right person, let Sheng Yu marry from the Hou Mansion and never stop her.

So, Bai Lingwei had a plan to use Shui Qingqing as a matchmaker and marry her cousin Bai Junfeng, who had just died of his wife, as a continuation, so as to drive her out of the Hou Mansion......

Expected that Shui Qingqing would come to Bai Wei Courtyard in the afternoon, Bai Lingwei guarded the door of Yun'er's room early, stopped her, and said kindly: "My sister is so good-looking, it's really cute-no, at the banquet the day before yesterday, my cousin saw my sister, and he never forgot it, so he asked me to personally say that he was the matchmaker for him today!" ”

The unprepared Shui Qingqing trembled with a sentence of 'talking matchmaker', and involuntarily retreated, wanting to stay away from Bai Lingwei, but she reached out and grabbed her.

Yan Yan took Shui Qingqing's hand with a smile, and Bai Lingwei's face was sincere: "Although my cousin is more than ten years older than you, he has an innocent family background and a good background. If you get married, you will definitely eat and drink spicy food, and your life will be very ......."

Bai Lingwei's hands were like poisonous snakes entangled around Shui Qingqing, making her tremble and hate!

Although she couldn't understand why Bai Lingwei suddenly wanted to be a matchmaker for herself, Shui Qingqing knew that she was definitely not doing this for her own good.

Moreover, she never thought of remarrying in this life!

Shui Qingqing, who came back to her senses, let go of Bai Lingwei's hand silently, and said with a sneer: "Why did my aunt suddenly think of being a matchmaker for me...... It's so sudden. ”

From the moment she saw Shui Qingqing, Bai Lingwei's eyes had been looking at her steadily, without missing a trace of the expression on her face.

She smiled coldly in her heart, but pretended to be sorry on her face: "I am also a woman, can I not understand my sister's state of mind - such a lonely person, how pitiful, it is serious to find a husband to love." ”

"Moreover, I see that my sister likes Yun'er so much, she must be a child who likes children. If you give birth to your own children in the future, won't you love it even more? Therefore, it is better to find a lover to marry, and having children is the best destination! ”

Hearing her mention Yun'er, Shui Qingqing's eyes sank, and there was hatred surging in the depths of her eyes.

She lowered her head and said in a slightly cool tone: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness." It's just that I know that I am a blessed person, and I don't want to drag others down, and spending my days in peace like this is the best place for me, and I dare not have any other extravagant ......"

Although these words were prevarication to Bai Lingwei, they were also Shui Qingqing's inner words.

In just more than ten years of life, Shui Qingqing has tasted the bitterness and bitterness of the world, and happiness like marrying a husband and having children is too extravagant for her......

But Bai Lingwei didn't think so.

Seeing that she pushed back without hesitation, Bai Lingwei was even more sure of Tang Qianqian's words and her own guesses, so the more desperate she wanted to drive her out of the house.

With a cold smile in her heart, Bai Lingwei's tone also became cold, and she said coldly: "According to my sister's previous temperament, she is not such a person who is easily discouraged. My sister has been chasing the Hou Ye for a year, and in the end, in order not to marry the eldest son, she even dared to jump the lake, how could she be so discouraged now - could it be that my sister dislikes my cousin and is not as good as our Hou Ye, so she doesn't look down on my cousin, so she refuses to marry?! ”

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's body froze, and she instantly understood in her heart that Bai Lingwei's matchmaker today was still worried about the relationship between her and Mei Zijin, and thought of a way to drive her out of the Hou Mansion.

After learning Bai Lingwei's true purpose, Shui Qingqing was not in a hurry, but relieved.

Previously, she was also worried that it was because of the snow wolf dog incident that Bai Lingwei realized that she had extraordinary feelings for Yun'er, and she was suspicious and wary of her, so she would try her best to drive herself out of the house.

Now that she knows that she is guarding against herself and Mei Zijin, Shui Qingqing is not worried.

Because I don't love, I don't have to fear.

She raised her head and no longer avoided Bai Lingwei's scrutinizing gaze, and smiled calmly: "Auntie, with all due respect, I know very well what my aunt is worried about-yes, there are indeed very few men in the world who are as good as Hou Ye, but I am a person who has died once, I have deeply experienced the pain of suffocating in the water, and it is also the pain that life is worse than death that makes me change my mind and let go of the extravagant hopes that do not belong to me." ”

"Auntie, I really let go of Master Hou completely and don't like him anymore - so, please relax too!"

After that, Shui Qingqing didn't stay anymore, she knew that she couldn't take care of Yun'er today, so she left Bai Wei's courtyard through the back door after saying goodbye to Bai Lingwei.

Behind the red plum tree in the corner, a dark figure had been standing for a long time, and the conversation between Bai Lingwei and Shui Qingqing at the door over there fell into his ears word for word.

The cold wind blew the snow off the plum branches, fell on the plum blossom hair, and then slid down the ends of the hair to his handsome cheeks.

The cold soaking made his cheeks cold, and it made his heart inexplicably cold......

Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Sanshi, who followed behind him, reminded in a low voice: "Master, Aunt Bai has gone back to her own house, and you can go in to see Xiao Shizi." ”

Raising his hand to brush away the falling snow on his shoulder, Mei Zijin said coldly: "This Bai Junfeng, but the one who has not grown up in the Bai family?" ”

Sanshi nodded and said, "Yes." Although he is the eldest son of the Bai family, he can be born in ...... It was born to the uncle of the Bai family and the girl who had a room. The Bai family is a Hanlin family, and Aunt Bai's father, Bai Erye, is an official scholar of Hanlin University, and the other heirs are all good at literature and martial arts, and they are all seeking jobs in the court. Only this Bai Junfeng, who doesn't learn or know, can only fight chickens and dogs, linger in the Qinglou, and is the head of the children of the capital-his wife, who is said to be depressed because he can't stand his spoiled concubine and kill his wife......"

The more Mei Zijin listened, the more his brows furrowed, and he said coldly: "Since he is such a scumbag, how did he become the Jin Wuwei who is in charge of the imperial city patrol?" ”

Hearing this, Sanshi hesitated and didn't dare to speak, until Mei Zijin turned his head and glared at him, and he had the courage to say cautiously: "Actually...... Bai Junfeng only became the ...... of this Jin Wuwei after Aunt Bai married into the Hou Mansion."

For the rest of the words, Sanshi didn't dare to say it explicitly, but the meaning was very clear, Bai Junfeng was able to become Jin Wuwei, and it was the light of Mei Zijin that he borrowed.

His eyes sank instantly, Mei Zijin's expression was as cold as ice, and he coldly ordered: "Advance the training after the beginning of spring, and start the military camp training in three days." The training personnel are not only the officers and soldiers of the barracks, but also the guards of Gyeonggi and the patrol of the imperial city are all included in the training - those who fail to pass the training assessment will be removed from their posts and let them go home! ”

Sanshi was completely petrified on the spot, and looked at his master with an incredible face-

Is the master angry?

Could it be that it was because Aunt Bai wanted to marry Sheng Yu to Bai Junfeng?

Before Sanshi came back to his senses, Mei Zijin had already stepped into Yun'er's room.

At this time in the past, it was the time when Yun'er finished drinking milk and was ready to go to bed. And Yun'er has long been accustomed to sleeping in Shui Qingqing's arms at this time of day. Therefore, when Shui Qingqing was not here today, he also became restless, and after drinking milk, he writhed in the hands of the nurse, and refused to sleep no matter how he coaxed him.

The nurses are very helpless, in normal times, they may go to Tingsheng Yuan to ask Shui Qingqing to come over to help, because Shui Qingqing told them that as long as Yun'er can't coax her, they can call her at any time.

But today, after Shui Qingqing left, Bai Lingwei clearly ordered that Yun'er should not be handed over to Shui Qingqing to take care of in the future, even if she came over and asked to do it herself, she had to refuse. If she finds out that the nurse and grandmother handed Yun'er over to Shui Qingqing, she will be severely punished.

Seeing that Yun'er was crying, Mei Zijin twisted her eyebrows and took the child from the nurse's hand, and said coldly: "Didn't you say that Yun'er's work and rest are regular?" Why don't you sleep when the hour comes? ”

The nurses kept in mind Bai Lingwei's instructions, and didn't dare to let outsiders, especially the Hou Ye and the old lady, know that Shui Qingqing came to Bai Wei Courtyard every day to take care of Yun Gongzi, so they had to say timidly: "Back to the Hou Ye, the prince is only afraid that he was frightened by the snow wolf dog that day, so he started crying again in the past two days...... It's the dereliction of duty of the slaves and maids, and please punish the Hou Ye! ”

Mei Zijin's eyes were deep, and she couldn't help but think of the ankle bracelet that Bai Lingwei had given to Yun'er under Shui Qingqing, her face sank, and she said coldly: "The son of the world is crying so much, why don't you invite his mother to come over and coax him?" ”

The nurses and grandmothers dared to tell Mei Zijin about Bai Lingwei's crying from the world, and they just knelt in the ground and buried their heads deeply, and no one dared to say anything.

But even if they didn't say it, Mei Zijin's heart was clear.

He quietly came to Yun'er's house a few times, and every time he came to see Shui Qingqing taking care of the child.

And Bai Lingwei, who is in the same courtyard and only a few walls apart, rarely sees her appear to take care of the child, even if Yun'er cries like this, she can hear it in her own room, and she will not move over......

With disappointment and sadness in his heart, Mei Zijun's face was covered with ice and snow, waved his hand to let the nurses get up, hugged Yun'er like Shui Qingqing, let his little head rest on his shoulder, and whispered to him in his ear, while patting his back to coax him to sleep......

Half an hour passed, and Yun'er finally fell asleep sweetly in his arms, her dense and curly eyelashes like the most beautiful wings gently covering her curved eyelids, and her little face was as smooth as jade, like an egg that had just been peeled off its shell, and with a pink mouth, it was so beautiful that it was not like words.

Mei Zijin was fascinated, and a doting smile appeared on his cold face, even if Yun'er was already asleep, he was reluctant to let him go.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, but it was Bai Lingwei who learned that Mei Zijin was here, and happily came over.

When she entered the door and saw Mei Zijin holding Yun'er in her arms like a treasure, Bai Lingwei's eyes flashed with a trace of disgust, but the next moment she stepped forward to take Yun'er, handed it to the nurse, and turned back to Mei Zijin and said coquettishly: "Master Hou is busy for a day, how can you still let you take care of the child?" The concubine personally prepared Hou Ye's favorite meal today, as well as the apricot blossom stuffed that Hou Ye likes to drink. The wine and food have been served, and the Hou Ye will go to the main room with the concubine. ”

After that, in front of a room of people, he stepped forward to take Mei Zijin's arm affectionately, but he avoided it quietly.

Mei Zijin's face was calm, and his tone was even more flat without a trace of fluctuation, and said coolly: "You rarely cook on weekdays, why are you so interested today?" ”

Bai Lingwei is the eldest lady of the Hanlin family, she has been precious since she was a child, her fingers do not touch the spring water, and she is afraid that the fumes in the kitchen will smoke her skin.

But today, because of the dispute with Tang Qianqian, she endured the discomfort, went to the kitchen to urge the cooks to make a table of Mei Zijin's favorite meals, and let Xia Cicada stay at the door of the Hou Mansion early, and invited him to come to Baiwei Courtyard for dinner when Mei Zijin returned home, so as to keep Mei Zijin staying in her Baiwei Courtyard tonight.

In this way, Tang Qianqian was given a dismissal, to prove that she was different in Mei Zijin's heart, and the position of Mrs. Hou Fu belonged to her.

Xia Chan waited at the door for a long time without waiting for Mei Zijin, Bai Lingwei was worried about whether Mei Zijin was invited to her Qingluo Courtyard by Tang Qianqian in advance, but was told that Mei Zijin was in her Baiwei Courtyard at this time, coaxing Shizi to sleep in Shizi's house.

On the day of Yun'er's 100th birthday, Mei Zijin crowned Yun'er as the son of the world without warning, but the most unexpected was Bai Lingwei.

Bai Lingwei was very conflicted in her heart, she was happy that Mei Zijin was worried about and loved Yun'er, and on the day of his 100-day banquet, she named him the son of the world, so that her mother was more expensive than her son, and her identity was a higher level in the Hou Mansion, and she was closer to Mrs. Hou's position.

On the other hand, she thought that Yun'er was not her own child, but just a wild child brought from outside, but now she occupied the position of the prince of Houfu, and she couldn't help but feel disgusted with him in her heart, and she was bent on letting herself conceive her real child as soon as possible, and then find a way to quietly dispose of this wild child, so as to make her child a real prince of Houfu......

Therefore, Bai Lingwei still has a little bit of heart on Yun'er, and she only has Mrs. Hou's position and favor in her heart.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Bai Lingwei's mother has exhausted Mei Zijin's grace with her son, but only she knows best that Mei Zijin really loves Yun'er, but she is still cold and indifferent to her, and she does not have too much love.

And the number of times he came to Baiwei Courtyard increased, and he also came to see Yun'er, but the number of times he entered her house became less and less......

So today she was fully prepared to leave Mei Zijin in her house for the night.

The soft and boneless body leaned on Mei Zijin again without showing a trace, and Bai Lingwei said affectionately: "Master Hou is the husband of the concubine. As long as the Hou Ye is willing, the concubine is willing to wash his hands and make soup for the Hou Ye every day......"

"No need!"

Without hesitation, he interrupted Bai Lingwei's affectionate words, Mei Zijin's face darkened, and his tone became cold.

"You have such a kung fu, it's better to spend more time with and take care of Yun'er - he is just a 100-day-old child, and it is the time when he needs love and care the most, no matter how good the nurse is with others, it is not as intimate as the mother-son relationship that is connected to the flesh and blood."

Mei Zijin's cold, reproachful words made Bai Lingwei's whole body stagnate, and the sentence 'flesh and blood are connected' made her face pale in an instant.

It is precisely because Yun'er is not her biological son that Bai Lingwei is particularly sensitive and ...... to such words Afraid.

She looked at Mei Zijin with frightened eyes, and her heart was even more flustered, her lips moved, racking her brains to defend herself.

Seeing her description, Mei Zijin was even more disappointed and bored.

Before she could speak, he had already thrown up his sleeves and walked outside, and said coldly: "Tang is sick, I'll go to Qingluo Courtyard to see her - you can eat the food alone!" ”

Hearing that Mei Zijin was going to Tang Qianqian, Bai Lingwei was completely panicked, and without thinking about it, she caught up, grabbed Mei Zijin's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Is Sister Tang actually sick?" The concubine accompanied the Hou Ye to see her sister. The meal will be warmed first, and when my sister comes back, the concubine will accompany the Hou Ye to eat......"

"Are you going to apologize to Xia Chan for her?"

Throwing down this sentence without looking back, Mei Zijin didn't stop anymore, and left Bai Wei Courtyard quickly, leaving Bai Lingwei on the spot with a miserable face......

Tang Qianqian was not sick, but she was angry with Bai Lingwei, and deliberately asked the maid to tell Mei Zijin, saying that she was sick, so as to look forward to Mei Zijin coming to her yard.

But later, she heard a report from her subordinates, saying that Mei Zijin went straight to Baiwei Courtyard as soon as she returned home, and her heart was as cold as water, and she was so aggrieved that she shed tears.

Just when she was desperate for her injuries, the maid Comb ran into the door excitedly to tell her that the Hou Ye came out of Baiwei Courtyard and came to their Qingluo Courtyard.

Tang Qianqian was so happy that she couldn't believe her ears, and thought she had heard it wrong, until Comb told her again and again, she didn't believe it, and suddenly felt that her cold heart warmed up again, and the whole person seemed to come back to life.

Comb looked at her cloak and tear-stained appearance, and asked her little maid to call hot water to clean Tang Qianqian's face, and wanted to help her go to the mirror to make up, but was stopped by Tang Qianqian's words.

With tears in her eyes, Tang Qianqian sneered: "Now among the ladies of the entire Hou Mansion, she Bai Lingwei is the most proud. That's good, let her be proud, I just want Hou Ye to see what she has bullied me into. ”

After that, Fu lay down again, facing inside, and when he heard the sound of steady footsteps outside the door, he knew that it was Mei Zijin who came, and the tears came when he said it, but he choked and cried.

To tell the truth, Mei Zijin stays in the barracks all year round, and he spends more days leading troops to fight than staying in the capital, so he is very tired of the various means of competing for favor with the ladies of the back house.

Hearing the crying inside at the door, Mei Zijin didn't want to continue to step in.

Regarding Tang Qianqian's battle with Bai Lingwei today, Sanshi had already told him clearly.

Although she knew that Tang Qianqian had been wronged, Mei Zijin couldn't understand why she was so strong that she was so strong that her shoulder was torn and bleeding without shedding a single tear, while Tang Qianqian and the others could cry bitterly for a little thing......

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had actually compared Shui Qingqing with Tang Qianqian.

The body couldn't help but stiffen, and panic surged in my heart-

What's wrong with him? She is the one who married into the Hou Mansion to marry her brother, even if the marriage does not work out in the end, he can't compare her with his wives and concubines, which is contrary to the norm.

What's more, he had heard her say more than once that she didn't like him anymore......

The heart was inexplicably empty, and then it was blocked, Mei Zijin was distraught, and stood at the door of Tang Qianqian's room for a long time without pushing the door in.

Listening to Tang Qianqian, who was ringing outside, and listening to the footsteps stopping at the door for a long time and not coming in, I couldn't help but get anxious.

Comb hurriedly took the order to open the door, pretending not to know what Mei Zijin looked like outside the door, and was about to respectfully invite him in, but Mei Zijin stood on the threshold and did not go in, and said lightly: "I advise your master not to cry anymore." The Yunjin that you were robbed, the lord will compensate your master for ten horses. ”

With that, he turned and walked back the way he came.

Tang Qianqian on the bed was overjoyed when she heard Mei Zijin's words, he said this, that is, he knew his grievances, and he also compensated himself with ten cloud brocades, so that in this battle, Hou Ye stood on her side, but she won.

Moreover, it is enough to see that Hou Ye's heart is not biased in favor of Bai Lingwei because of the prince, so the position of Mrs. Hou is not necessarily her Bai Lingwei.

However, the next moment when she heard that he was about to leave without even entering the house, Tang Qianqian panicked again, and couldn't care about pretending to be pitiful in front of him anymore, so she quickly got up from the bed and went to chase Mei Zijin.

"Master Hou...... It's all here, why don't you sit in the concubine's room? ”

Hearing this, Mei Zijin turned around and looked at Tang Qianqian, who was anxious, and said indifferently: "Since you are fine, there is no need to call the house doctor for you." I have other things to attend to, so you can rest for yourselves. ”

After that, he didn't stop and strode out of Qingluo Courtyard......

Although she directly rejected Bai Lingwei's matchmaking, Shui Qingqing was still not at ease, she always felt that Bai Lingwei's actions today must have a reason, and she would not be so 'kind' for no reason.

After listening back to the Sheng Courtyard, Xiaoxi went out to inquire quietly, and Shui Qingqing learned that in this morning's quarrel, Tang Qianqian actually brought out the matter that Mei Zijin had saved herself in front of Princess Leyi that day and wanted to fight for her own life to mock Bai Lingwei.

It turned out that this was the reason why Bai Lingwei suddenly wanted to talk about herself as a matchmaker, she wanted to marry herself out of the Hou Mansion to prevent future troubles.

After knowing the cause of everything, Shui Qingqing's heart sank with a 'pop'.

With her contact and understanding with Bai Lingwei during this time, she is extremely jealous, sensitive and suspicious, and hypocritical and ruthless, as long as she believes in things, it will not be so easy to change.

Therefore, when it comes to matchmaking, even if she refuses in person, I am afraid that she will not give up, and there will be follow-up.

Shui Qingqing was not afraid of Bai Lingwei, but she was afraid that she would go to the old lady to advocate and instigate her, so that the old lady would come forward and marry herself out of the Hou Mansion.

With a chill in her heart, Shui Qingqing couldn't sit still anymore, so she immediately went out with Xiaoxi and went to the old lady's Shi'an House at night.

Since Shui Qingqing rescued Yun'er from the mouth of the snow wolf dog despite the danger, the old lady has become more and more grateful and likes her, and when she came over at night, she hurriedly pulled her to sit on the warm couch, caring about her health. Does the wound still hurt?

Shui Qingqing said softly: "Old lady Hongfu, the wind and cold have healed, and the wound is healing, so it's okay." Thank you, old lady, for your concern. ”

Old Madam Hou observed her words, saw the sadness that she couldn't hide between her eyebrows, and then thought that she must have encountered something difficult to do when she came over so late, so she couldn't help but ask bluntly: "Have you encountered something difficult?" You talk to the old body, and the old body protects you. ”

On the way here, Shui Qingqing thought about it, and after seeing the old lady, she told the old lady about Bai Lingwei's matchmaking for herself, and then expressed her determination to never marry again, and begged the old lady to promise herself not to marry her out of the Hou Mansion......

Now hearing the old lady take the initiative to mention it, Shui Qingqing was about to say it in one breath, but there was a sound at the door. The next moment, the curtain opened, but it was Mei Zijin who came.

The four eyes met, and the two of them were slightly stunned, they didn't expect to meet the old lady here.

The old lady didn't expect Mei Zijin to come over at night, so she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Why are you here too?" ”

After Mei Zijin came out of Qingluo Courtyard, she was upset, and walked to the old lady casually, but she didn't expect that at this hour, Shui Qingqing was also there.

Seeing Mei Zijin coming, Shui Qingqing immediately swallowed the words back into her stomach, got up and said goodbye to the old lady.

Coincidentally, when Mei Zijin saw her, she also spoke: "Since my mother has something to do here, my son will come over tomorrow to talk to his mother." ”

The two said goodbye to the old lady in unison, but the old lady didn't know which one to keep, so she had to wave her hand and smile: "That's it, it's getting late, you all go back first." ”

Not long after walking out of the World Security Hospital, goose feathers and heavy snow fluttered in the dark sky, Shui Qingqing came out in a hurry, and Xiaoxi didn't expect a sudden heavy snowfall, so the master and servant both forgot to bring bamboo umbrellas and walked barehead in the snow.

In front, Mei Zijin and Sanshi's figures were getting farther and farther away, and soon disappeared from Shui Qingqing's sight.

In this way, Shui Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to Xiaoxi and said, "Let's go faster." ”

In order to avoid the wind and snow, the master and servant did not go back to the original path, but took a shortcut to cross the verandah on the lake to save the distance.

On a cold winter night with wind and snow, the entire Hou Mansion was quiet, and the people in each room and courtyard were staying in the warm room and no longer going out.

Therefore, when he suddenly saw the figure in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, he really frightened the master and servant.

Xiaoxi carried a lantern to explore the way, and inadvertently looked up, and saw a person standing in the pavilion not far away.

Xiaoxi wondered how someone could come to Huxin Pavilion in such bad weather and stay so late and not leave, while whispering to Shui Qingqing, who was concentrating on hurrying: "Miss, look, it's so late, it's snowing so heavily, it's freezing cold, how can anyone stay in such a tuyere?" ”

As the name suggests, the Lake Center Pavilion is a pavilion built in the center of the lake, which was originally built for people to enjoy the cool in summer, and it was built on the tuyere. Summer is the best place to cool off, but in such a dripping and icy weather, it is a detour.

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing couldn't help but look up over there.

Sure enough, on the shore of the lake pavilion where the wind and snow were wanton, a thriving figure stood proudly with his back to them.

Like Xiaoxi, seeing someone appear here at such a moment, Shui Qingqing was also curious, so she couldn't help but look up and look twice.

As I got closer, the figures standing by the pavilion in the middle of the lake became clearer and clearer...... Familiar!

After a pause, Shui Qingqing stopped and looked at the figure a few steps away in a daze, and wondered in her heart-

Just now, she obviously saw Mei Zijin going in the direction of the main courtyard, why did he appear here alone again?

It has been nearly two months since she came to the Hou Mansion, and Shui Qingqing will never mistake Mei Zijin's back again.

However, when he left, he was obviously wearing a dark coat, but now he had changed into a purple cloak, and his shoulders were covered with thumb-thick snow......

Thumb-thick snow?

Shui Qingqing suddenly thought that Mei Zijin left the World Security Institute before herself, and there were three stones to hold an umbrella for him along the way, even if the snow on his body was accumulated by him when he came here alone, but ...... Definitely not more than her, not so thick.

So, the man in front of you is not Mei Zijin?!

The whole body was shocked, Shui Qingqing was frightened by her own speculation, looking at the back, it was obviously Mei Zijin, but if it wasn't him, who else would it be?

Almost subconsciously, Shui Qingqing stepped forward quickly, wanting to see the man's face clearly.

However, just as she and Xiaoxi stepped into the pavilion, the man standing by the pavilion with his back suddenly turned around, the cloak on his body was raised high, and the snow splashed everywhere, confusing Shui Qingqing's eyes.

In a hurried glance, she only saw a pair of deep eyes with a cold light!

Was...... It's exactly the same as Mei Zijin's eyes!

was almost about to scream, but in the next moment, the figure in front of them flashed, and when Shui Qingqing looked at it again, the person in front of them disappeared in front of them like a ghost.

The cold wind whistled, and the empty pavilion was empty.

If it weren't for the footprints left on the ground, which proved that someone had indeed been here just now, Shui Qingqing would have thought that he had seen a ghost.

But Xiaoxi was frightened by this strange scene, called out that there was a ghost, and pulled Shui Qingqing to run to Tingsheng Courtyard with her life.

kept running back to the yard and locking the courtyard door, Xiaoxi was still scared at first glance. And Shui Qingqing's mind kept thinking about Fang Cai's familiar back.

In her memory, she seemed to have seen him before, but she couldn't remember anything for a while......

Lights out and sleeping, seeing that Xiaoxi has been scared, Shui Qingqing asked her to go to bed and sleep with her, the master and servant shared a bed of quilts, but it was much more reassuring, and Xiaoxi fell asleep after a while.

Shui Qingqing had too many things in her heart and couldn't sleep for a long time, even if she closed her eyes, her mind was unusually clear.

And it was this sobriety that made her sensitive to the sound of imperceptible footsteps in the yard.

Step by step, towards her house......
