……

Without waiting for Xia Nian to think too much, a butler came to report that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was ready.

Everyone looked at Mr. Sheng together, and after Mr. Sheng nodded, they followed behind Mr. Sheng, and walked in the direction of 'Miliang Road' - Miliang Road, as the name suggests, the dining place in the Sheng family's ancestral house is simple and low-key, but only those who really know know where this three-story tower located in the northwest corner of the Sheng family's ancestral house is worth it.

——

On the way to 'Miliang Road', Xia Nianzhi and Mrs. Sheng were in a hurry, saying that the bag had been dropped, and they turned back to the front hall to pick it up.

In the hall where the big drama had just been staged, people were walking for tea, Xia Nianzhi found the handbag from the sofa, and was about to get up, but found a piece of paper in the bag, folded into the shape of a thousand paper cranes, and did not write a signature.

Curiosity prompted Xia Nianzhi to spread out and take a look, but it was a sketch of a side face, and between her eyebrows, it was herself.

Xia Nianzhi had taken a sketch course when she was studying, and she knew a little about these, the outline of the lines and the thickness of the brushstrokes, you can see the depth of the person who made this painting, and in the end, her attention was shocked by the inscription in the corner of the paper, and her heart was noisy.

'Thinking has thoughts, thoughts have ends. ’

The penmanship is exquisite, the pen power penetrates the back of the paper, which is written on the paper, which is clearly engraved on the tip of her heart.

Xia Nianzhi thought about it for a while, the person who had just started writing at the tea banquet seemed to be the only one Sheng Ke, so, was he?

Xia Nian's heart was beating extremely fast, completely out of her control, bang, bang, thunder drums and bells were inferior, the curvature of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and finally she couldn't hold back, chuckling, and the smile went straight to the bottom of her eyes.

"What? …… Paint me so ugly? ……”

Touching the black and white woman on the paper with his fingertips, Xia Nianzhi's mind kept coming up with the serious appearance of Sheng Scar's eyes when he was painting, and he had to admit that a handsome man, no matter what he did, would always get extra points for nothing.

God's favored skin, Xia Nianzhi sighed, but remembered Song Cheng's gloomy and resentful smile, and his fingertips trembled suddenly.

In an instant, Xia Nianzhi thought of a sentence that she had asked Sheng Zhen without knowing the sky.

"I'm actually, it's still pretty good, Sheng Zhen, don't you think, let's not talk about business, talk about something, and other things, can you?"

"You and I have nothing to talk about except business."

……

Xia Nianzhi lowered his head and stared at the sketch in his hand again, looking at it very carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the woman in the painting was not her, maybe it was just an illusion, she was thinking too much.

She shook her head helplessly, folded the sketch again, tucked it into the compartment of her bag, and zipped it up.

In this way, it can be regarded as a proper collection, and if someone wants to find it in the future, it will be returned. As for the rest, Xia Nianzhi's stall hand, every move of Sheng Zhen's chess is nine curves and eighteen turns, anyway, there will never be only one layer of meaning, but this time, she doesn't plan to delve into it.

……

The original way back to Miliang Road, out of the warm hall, through the bamboo corridor, to here, the heating can not be taken care of, a little cold.

Xia Nianzhi felt that his head was dizzy, probably because he had taken medicine recently, and it was always difficult for his mental power to concentrate on one thing for a long time.

At this stall, Bligh called and told Xia Nianzhi not to eat too much outside, the hot pot materials at home have been prepared, and when she returns home from the Sheng family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, she can directly brush it up.

Fresh and clean vegetables, sliced pork, mutton and fish, Bligh's shrimp slippery, tumbling broth, in the cold wind of midwinter, a hot bite, the most comfortable, but also the most full.

Xia Nian's heart yearned for it, and he was about to tell Bligh to remember to wash some coriander, but someone suddenly rushed up behind him, dragged her arm fiercely, and raised his hand in her face to slap her.

Syllable......

The applause was crisp, and in the empty and quiet bamboo forest courtyard, it looked particularly weird.

——

Caught off guard, there was another slap one after another, Xia Nianzhi, who was completely confused, only felt that her face was burning and hurting, and there seemed to be countless flies buzzing in her mind.

"Shen Ranran?"

"Xia Nianzhi!" Shen Ranran's eyes were vicious, his face was hideous, and he roared: "What the hell are you, but you are a slut who doesn't even disdain your fiancé to ask for you, and Marba Island dared to push me into the water that day?!" ”

Xia Nianzhi pursed her lips and secretly wondered, whether the consequences of making trouble in the Sheng family's ancestral house on Chinese New Year's Eve were more serious, or whether she allowed Shen Ranran to bully her, but she was silent to be more embarrassed and embarrassed; However, seeing Shen Ranran gradually approaching, and didn't even know where to find the knife, Xia Nianzhi was stunned.

Sure enough, she knew that Shen Ranran was definitely not dumb and ate huanglian, had a bitter stomach, and did not trouble her when she was in the hospital, and now she finally couldn't help but jump out and do it, but this place and time was actually chosen in the Sheng family's ancestral home, Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Ranran is still a little tiger.

"That night on Marba Island, I sacrificed myself to fulfill Miss Shen's wishes, in exchange for Lu Can's hero to save your beauty." Xia Nianzhi asked rhetorically: "Miss Shen doesn't think it's enough?" It stands to reason that Miss Shen, you should thank me a lot. ”

"Help me? Thank you? Hahaha! Shen Ranran seemed to think of something, and smiled even more poignantly: "Xia Nianzhi! You don't know anything at all!! I suffer because of you!! It's not enough for you to pay me with your life! ”

Shen Ranran smiled suspiciously, Xia Nianzhi saw the killing intent in her eyes.

Daigo was empowered, full of understanding, she suddenly understood why Shen Ranran had been engaged in the development so far, and endured it for so long - the most perfect crime scene in the world, the Sheng family's ancestral house is afraid that it has to be in the top three on the list, after all, this place is a place where even the chief commander of Pingcheng has to pay a special visit to the door, who dares to investigate the case.

What's more, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is about to begin, and most of the servants in the Sheng family's ancestral mansion have gone to Miliang Road to serve, and the courtyard of the Purple Bamboo Forest is deserted; Even if one or two eyes bump into each other, the prospective second young lady of the Sheng family is not easy to offend, and the only daughter of the Shen family cannot be provoked.

What is self-preservation? The implication is that if no one reports it, no one cares.

Shen Ranran probably grasped this opportunity and dared to be so blatant.

However, how can Shen Ranran be sure that she will definitely appear in the Sheng family's ancestral mansion tonight? Is there a sense of foresight?

In any case, all in all, Xia Nian's heart sank, as Xia Tingxi's granddaughter, if she was bullied at will like this, she didn't have to go to the grave of Qingming next year, otherwise her grandfather would be so angry when he saw her that he would directly lift the coffin and show her the corpse.

However, it is at this time.

Shen Ranran slapped him with all his might, which made Xia Nianzhi's already slightly painful chest tightness and palpitations even more serious, and his stomach turned over and he couldn't vomit it clean. Her eyes gradually cooled, looking at Shen Ranran, who was close at hand, and she knew in her heart that at this moment, she couldn't afford to be quick for a while.

Silence is shameful, but it is currently the best option.

……

Xia Nianzhi decided not to continue to carry Shen Ranran head-on, slightly to the right side, and was about to leave quickly, but as soon as she moved, the wind around her was pierced, and the subconscious movements under the crisis, Xia Nianzhi hurriedly dodged, but a few seconds late, the sharp and sharp cold weapon grazed her arm, which could be crossed.

The path after the snow melted was wet, and in order to avoid Shen Ranran's attack, Xia Nianzhi's center of gravity was unstable, and she staggered straight to the stone surface, and the originally round and smooth cobbleball in her eyes was comparable to a sharp blade at this time.

Xia Nianzhi could almost feel how painful it was that under the inertia of gravitational acceleration, after the kneecap collided with the goose egg, it shattered into slag.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, at a moment's notice, the panicked Xia Nian was subconsciously busy protecting his stomach, and his hand grabbed the thorny bamboo beside him, and the spikes cut through the flesh, and as Xia Nianzhi fell to the ground, the bamboo body was mottled with blood all the way, until Xia Nianzhi curled up in the shape of a shrimp and fell to the ground.

Xia Nian was terrified, but she couldn't protect it.

"Are you crazy?! Murder is against the law! ”

Shen Ranran turned a deaf ear, and the knife was clutched tightly in her hand, just like her at this time, the killing intent was awe-inspiring, and she continued to approach Xia Nianzhi.

Xia Nianzhi fumbled with the mobile phone in his bag and wanted to call for help, but was held down by Shen Ranran.

"Of course it's illegal to kill, so I'm not going to touch your life." Shen Ranran squatted down, approached Xia Nianzhi's ear, and lowered his voice, the resentment in his eyes was almost condensed into ten thousand arrows, piercing Xia Nianzhi's heart. She clasped Xia Nianzhi's chin with one hand: "But, I don't like your face very much, specially, very disliked." ”

"Shen Ranran." The pain was extreme, but Xia Nianzhi laughed very lightly: "What are you afraid of?" Lu Can was snatched away by me? ”

"Of course I'm worried, after all, ......" The tip of the knife was against Xia Nianzhi's jaw, and Shen Ranran's eyes were full of malice: "You even dare to climb up to your fiancé's brother's bed, with such a strong combat power, how can I not be very energetic and vigilant?" ”

Xia Nianzhi felt tired, and his whole body hurt everywhere.

She was almost sure that Shen Ranran had found someone to check her in private, and seeing Shen Ranran's confident and determined appearance at this time, what she was most afraid of was that she found out some solid evidence, but ......

After thinking about it, Shen Ranran should not be so stupid as to drag Sheng Scar into the water in order to destroy her, after all, once the Sheng family finds out who shook off this shocking scandal, Shen Ranran will only become a person who eats inside and outside in the eyes of the Sheng family, and the situation will be extremely difficult.

Thinking of this, Xia Nianzhi, who was a little relieved, and Shen Ranran looked at each other, but the mobile phone rang at this time, it was the alarm she had originally set, Xia Jizhi was far away on the other side of the ocean, and he couldn't come back in time to reunite, so the two of them made an appointment to video at eight o'clock.

Thanks to the alarm clock, Xia Nianzhi understood a doubt, the Sheng family's ancestral house will be patrolled every hour, although the courtyard of the bamboo forest is remote, but it is not at this time, not even half a figure appears, unless, someone stopped the patrol of the guards.

At the tea banquet in his mind, the Sheng family talked about her contempt and dislike in their eyes, Xia Nianzhi suddenly realized that this is the ancestral home of the Sheng family, even if Mrs. Sheng likes her, it does not mean that everyone has good intentions towards her.

On the list of people who regard her as a thorn in the flesh, the person in power of the Sheng family, Mr. Sheng is the first to bear the brunt.

Thinking of this, Xia Nianzhi suddenly felt relieved, no wonder Shen Ranran was so unscrupulous, even the knife lit up.

"Shen Ranran, actually, you are better than me, at least, you have won the favor of Mr. Sheng."
