Providence Villa, Hidden Garden.

It was already afternoon, and the sunlight was gradually becoming mild, and the light and shadow were dappled through the carved window lattices.

The mysterious old man sat in the middle of the room, and Yang Jin and Shan Zheng accompanied the prime minister on the left and right sides at the same time, but the three of them did not speak, making the atmosphere in the room a little quiet and depressing.

"Are you sure that person will come?" The old man raised his eyes and glanced at the sky outside, and asked Yang Jin, who was bowing down on the left, "What if he doesn't come?" ”

Yang Jin's attitude is always extremely respectful: "With the fact that he returned the tears of the demon concubine to Miss Xue'er again, it is not difficult to see that he should be very concerned about Miss Xue'er." Today's subordinates are making such a big fanfare just to be a person to watch. ”

"In case he cares too much about Cher and becomes angry, how are you going to save the situation?" The old man's brows were still furrowed, and the worry in his eyes was still thick, "What's more, Xue'er was innocently involved in this matter, if it chills her heart, what should you do?" ”

He sighed: "Besides, my headache has been soothed by Xue'er with silver needles these days." Even if there is no merit, there is hard work, but now such a crime is pressed on the body of a girl......"

There was a hint of disappointment in the old man's eyes: "Yang Jin, Yang Jin, you are getting more and more bold in doing things, and you don't even dare to ask what I mean in advance!" ”

"The subordinates don't dare!"

Yang Jin was shocked into a cold sweat, quickly got up from his seat, knelt in front of the old man, lowered his head and looked at the ground under his feet, and didn't even dare to raise his head again.

"Alright, get up!" The old man waved his hand impatiently, "The matter has come to this point, and the only thing that can be done is wrong." ”

Where did Yang Jin dare to get up, and when he was about to speak again, there were already hurried footsteps outside: "Father is here?" ”

Shan Zheng, who had been silent all the time, heard the voice with a serious face, and hurriedly confessed to the old man, and retreated from the room. As soon as he came out, he saw Shan Tianying with an anxious face, and couldn't help frowning: "What is so urgent, how old are you, and you are still so frizzy and reckless!" ”

Shan Tianying lowered his head and let Shan Zheng reprimand, until Shan Zheng finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "Dad, there are two more corpses of the Scattered Gong Holy Maiden at the door. ”

"What, again?" Shan Zheng's face also changed, and he almost cried out out in a lost voice, and then realized that it would disturb the nobles in the room, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "When did it happen?" ”

Shan Tianying said: "Just now, it almost fell from the sky, and I don't even know who threw it down." ”

Shan Zheng's face was ugly, and he almost had a headache like the mysterious old man, so he hurriedly went in to confess to the old man, and then hurriedly walked towards the gate of the Heavenly Providence Villa with Shan Tianying.

For a while, only the mysterious old man and Yang Jin were left in the room, and they seemed to be quieter than Fang Cai.

At this moment, Xue'er was being locked in another room not far from the old man, but the ropes tied up in the morning had already been untied by Lingxin and thrown aside.

Qiu Ru and Qiu Ping were sent outside the door by Lingxin, and only the two girls were in the room.

"Xue'er," Lingxin's face was full of apologies, "I'm sorry, I can't persuade you...... My dad. If you want to blame it, blame that Yang Jin! Don't blame my dad, he didn't know about it beforehand. ”

Xue'er was silent, just looked at Lingxin with a smile, and didn't want to say a word.

Lingxin still refuses to even say her identity, what else is there to say between them. Although she didn't care what Lingxin's identity was, she cared about Lingxin's cautious attitude at the moment!

In the end, they have been together for many years, and they can know each other's thoughts with just one look and one movement, Lingxin bit her lip and said: "Xue'er, I know that you must be blaming me in your heart, blaming me for even hiding my identity from you, but I also have my own difficulties." It's not that I don't say it, it's that I can't say it, and there's no good in knowing it. So I ......"

Xue'er looked at Lingxin's face full of embarrassment, sighed, and smiled lightly: "I don't blame you, Lingxin, you don't have to explain." ”

"But—"

Xue'er interrupted Lingxin's words: "Lingxin, when you were on the Holy Maiden Island, you were the only one close to me, so I naturally treated you as a good sister." I'm so happy that you were able to find your father so smoothly......"

She was happy and laughing, but tears slowly fell. However, she didn't realize it, and still smiled and said to Lingxin: "So, in this situation, you are still willing to accompany me, I am already very content." ”

Lingxin opened her mouth, but suddenly found that she didn't know what to say.

She was silent for a while before continuing: "Xue'er, in fact, you are completely innocent this time, and Manager Yang treated you like this in order to force out the owner of the Demon Concubine's Tears behind you, and he had to do it as a last resort. ”

Xue'er smiled lightly: "So, they didn't catch up with anyone last night, that's why they hit me with the idea, right?" ”

Ling Xin's face was a little embarrassed, but she still nodded: "Yes, I heard that I didn't even catch up with the figure." ”

Xue'er smiled, but the mockery at the corner of her mouth was a little heavier, she looked at Lingxin, and said, "I know you must have a question to ask me, as a good sister for many years, I should have known everything, but——"

"If you don't know everything about me, why should I say everything to you?" Xue'er didn't say this sentence, but her gaze was clear, which made Lingxin's delicate little face white, and she couldn't speak.

After a long time, Ling Xin sighed and said, "Xue'er, if you want to know anything, you can ask, as long as I can answer, I will definitely answer you?" ”

Cher was stunned for a moment, then chuckled again. She hid the mockery in her eyes: "Me too!" ”

Lingxin's face turned white again, knowing that her intentions and thoughts had been seen through by Xue'er, so embarrassment came up again, a little face turned white and red, red and white, biting her lip and not speaking.

The room began to fall silent, Lingxin didn't know how to speak, and Xue'er didn't bother to speak.

The atmosphere was a little dull and awkward for a while, and suddenly there was a "bang" sound from the outer door, followed by Yang Jin's loud shout: "What person?" Then there was the sound of a fight, and then it became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared.

Lingxin stood up immediately, Xue'er also showed surprise, the gap between the two suddenly disappeared at this moment, and the two women held hands and walked to the door together, opening the door a small crack to look out.

The courtyard was silent, there was no one, not even the guards knew where they had gone. The two of them were in a state of confusion, when they suddenly heard an exclamation from the old man's room next door!

Lingxin's face changed, and she glanced at Xue'er, and then she had the courage to open the door.

The courtyard was still so quiet that there was not even a figure in sight, and the two girls looked at each other, took each other's hands, and then walked out of the room.

Both of them saw doubts and uncertainties in each other's eyes, after all, the human skins of the two terrifying Sangong Holy Maidens yesterday were still vivid, as if the fragrance of peach blossoms was still permeating the tip of their noses.

What if yesterday threatened to signal, and today it was directly aimed at them, the Holy Maidens of Sangong who were still stranded in the Providence Villa and could not find their relatives in their hometown?

If it is said that the Holy Maiden Island was breached, Yan Rumei swallowed her anger, when nothing happened, don't say that Xue'er doesn't believe it, even Shan Zhengdu, who organized the righteous people in the rivers and lakes to attack the Holy Maiden, may not believe it, don't you see that there are still so many people in the rivers and lakes who still stay in the Providence Villa? Do you really think that those people have nowhere to go, so they ran to the Providence Villa to eat mixed rice?

Therefore, the sounds that sounded outside one after another couldn't help but make Lingxin and Xue'er's hearts tremble.

But Lingxin still has to worry about one more person, after all, the old man is still the father she just recognized, even if there is not much family affection, but for her own future, the necessary care is still necessary.

In the end, she is a sister who has been friends for many years, and Xue'er doesn't really want to be estranged from Lingxin, but she just has some complaints about Lingxin's recent practices.

Therefore, after seeing Lingxin's panicked and helpless expression, she still held Lingxin's hand tightly, accompanied her, and walked lightly to the old man's door.

Lingxin glanced at Xue'er, and then stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, but there was no response. She reached out and pushed again, and found that the door was not moving!

The sky is blue and white, although it is already afternoon, but the sun is still bright, what to do at this time to bolt the door? Didn't you say that you had to wait for the owner of the Demon Princess's Tears, the pale young man who came last night? Is it easier to rush out with the door bolted?

The faint sound of someone talking came, very low, and I could really tell that it was two people talking, but I couldn't hear a word. Lingxin's eyes showed a hint of confusion, so she pushed it twice to make sure that the door was indeed bolted from the inside.

Her heart also hung in the air, and she couldn't help but look at Cher again for help.

Xue'er was also confused, so she had to signal Lingxin to speak.

"Dad, are you in there?" Lingxin also had no idea, so she had to bite the bullet, knocked on the door twice more with great force, and said at the same time, "But what is the need?" ”

The sound of conversation inside stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of soft footsteps, and the old man's voice sounded behind the door, "Here, is it Lingxin?" Now that it's inconvenient for you to come in, it's better to go back to your room first to accompany your good sister! ”

But the door didn't open, not even a gap, the old man seemed to remember something again, and added: "You can accompany Xue'er in the room, don't let her be careful, if she is willing to tell us some news about your brother, it will be better." ”

Xue'er frowned, obviously the old man thought that Lingxin was the only one outside the door, so he said so. It's just that what she didn't expect was that the old man actually said that he knew the whereabouts of Brother Lingxin!

Thinking of the old man's concern and familiarity with the tears of the demon concubine, Xue'er easily thought that Lingxin's so-called brother was Xuanyuan Yu!

However, how can Xuanyuan Yu and Lingxin be brother and sister? Cher only felt that she had just stepped out of a layer of fog, but she had fallen into a deeper fog.

At the same time, she grabbed Lingxin, who was about to speak, there were obviously others in the room, and the old man walked to the door, but he didn't even want to open the door, so naturally he didn't want Lingxin to go in at this moment.

In the same way, it means that the old man should be in no danger, and since there is no danger, there is no need for her and Lingxin to go in.

So Xue'er and Lingxin returned to the room where they had just stayed, ready to be open and honest and continue the topic just now.

When she walked to the door, Xue'er shook her head for a moment, because the door was closed! But she clearly remembered that when she and Lingxin left, they didn't care about closing the door!
