Chapter 153: Give Him Time to Find Fault and Temptation

"It's for..."Xiang Xia hesitated for a long time, and couldn't say why. She was still in shock, and she hadn't recovered yet.

Zhao Yun was silent and stared at her. was looked at by him like this, Xiang Xia was even more speechless, and he buried his head and played with his fingers.

...

The two remained silent in agreement. Xiang Xia couldn't help but sneak a few glances at him, but they were all knocked out. At this time, Zhao Yun was also shy, covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

"Zilong, haven't you slept all night?" Xiang Xia saw that his face was haggard, his eyes became dull, and the dark circles and stubble under his eyes were clearly visible. He still has a rare appearance, and it seems that if he hasn't slept all night, he has at least stayed up for most of the night.

"No, no." Zhao Yun turned his face away and replied a little stiffly.

There was silence in the room again.

Xiang Xia pursed his lips, "Zilong, I'll help you tie it up." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yun looked up at her.

"Your head is a little messy." Xiang Xia blushed and pointed to his scattered silk.

Zhao Yun didn't agree, nor did he refuse. He lowered his eyes and turned his back to face the bronze mirror. In fact, this can be regarded as a disguised promise....

Xiang Xia took a few steps forward and began to move his hands behind him. She removed his bun, put his black heart down, and then picked up the wooden comb and smoothed the strands.

"Summer."

"Huh?" Xiang Summer's hand trembled, a little nervous.

"Are you feeling better, are you still feeling unwell?" Zhao Yun pursed his lips and asked with concern.

Xiang Xia stopped what he was doing and paused, "No, I'm all right." "It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, he coughed uncontrollably.

Zhao Yun frowned, looked at her reflected in the mirror, and advised: "You still have to take medicine, and I will instruct the people in the kitchen to fry the medicine and send it to your room later." ”

"Got it." Xiang Xia pouted, a little reluctantly. Seeing her expression, Zhao Yun sighed helplessly.

"Zilong, you can stay in the mansion today." Calling out to the summer.

"How?" Zhao Yun was puzzled.

"Not really." Xiang Xia shook his head obediently, "It's just a rare holiday, you should also take a day off." ”

Just, I guess you can stay.

A rare small annual vacation, and in a few days, I will be busy in the army. I was busy preparing for a banquet before, and yesterday I went out hunting, and then I stayed up all night to take care of her. She also felt sorry for his body.

"Okay." Zhao Yun nodded his chin.

Xiang Xia was happy in his heart, but he refused to reveal it easily on his face. She seems to have forgotten what she came for, maybe she chose to forget on purpose, and it seems to be fine.

After a while, Zhao Yun opened his mouth to call her again: "Summer." ”

"Hmm." Xiang Xia was engrossed in what he was doing, and he answered casually.

Zhao Yun raised his eyes and looked at her, and this look was for a while, as if he had settled down. His face was embarrassed, and he stopped talking. I didn't listen to him for a long time, I was curious about Summer, looked at the bronze mirror, and looked at him.

"Can you tell me if the man is telling the truth?" Zhao Yun's eyes were burning and he stared at her.

Xiang Xia was stunned, and his eyes subconsciously dodged. He still asked, and he eventually asked. But he can take the initiative to ask, isn't it exactly what she wants? She was still wondering how to speak. Now that he has been given a chance, what else is there to hesitate about ....

She turned to her side, placed the comb on the dresser, and began to coil it for him. Her small voice replied with little confidence, "Yes...."

"It's that person." Zhao Yun stated calmly, his gaze still not taking off her.

Xiang Xia knew clearly, and naturally knew who the person in his mouth meant. After admitting it in person, she felt that the burden in her heart had been lightened, and nodded frankly, "It's him." ”

"It's that day." Zhao Yunqi pursed his thin lips, calm and calm.

"Yes." We don't shy away from summer.

When I think of that day, I feel like I am in a nightmare, like facing a great enemy. He still remembers clearly, and he must have cared a lot in his heart.

"Zilong, I...."Xiang Summer's voice trembled slightly, obviously there were many things he wanted to explain, but he couldn't say anything at this juncture.

"Summer, no more talk." Zhao Yun's face was slightly dark, and his tone was a little sullen.

Xiang Xia was stunned for a while, and she began to panic, tying his bun helplessly. Due to panic, several of them went wrong. In the end, it was finally tied smoothly, which gave her some comfort in her heart.

She put her hands on his shoulders and looked at him in the mirror. At this moment, he also looked up and suddenly took her hand.

"Give me a little more time."

He said.

ii

For a while afterward, she didn't bother him, and he didn't deliberately avoid her. The relationship between the two is not intimate or warm, there are less sweet words, and more is to ask for warmth and cold.

After Xiang Xia completely calmed down, he decided to deal with this matter well. Anyway, she doesn't have the most direct evidence in hand now, and it's not easy for her to convict Sun Ruan'er. She also suddenly remembered the key person, the innkeeper. As long as she can find the innkeeper, and then coerce, intimidate, and scare her, aren't you afraid that he won't tell the truth about what happened?

So, in the next few days, Xiang Xia sent his subordinates from the palace and his brothers in the army to search for him throughout the city. I couldn't find it in Jiangxia City, so I looked for it in other cities. But the man was as if the world had been steamed, and there was no news of him anywhere. It was as if the man had not appeared, or even existed.

There are no clues here, and the only way to go to the summer is to go to the other side. She focused her attention on Sun Ruan'er, and she wanted to test Sun Ruan'er to see how she reacted. It's best not to admit herself, but if she dies, it's a bit tricky. Now there is only one step, one step.

Since Zhao Yun and Huang Yueying both ordered, Sun Ruan'er could no longer get close to serve Xiang Xia, Sun Ruan'er had no choice but to obey, and she was demoted from a personal maid to an ordinary maid, which can also be said to be an inferior maid. Because there are rumors in the house that she and her wife are not compatible, so the other subordinates are somewhat excluded from her. Her life was not so easy, she used to do light work, and the wind did not blow and the sun did not shine. Now she's either helping out in the kitchen or doing heavy work in the backyard.

On this day, Xiang Xia ordered someone to summon Sun Ruan'er over and wanted to talk to her. When the next person came back to restore his life, he was alone, and he did not see Sun Ruan'er's shadow by his side.

"Why is it just you and she?" Xiang Xia frowned, his tone a little displeased.

The servant bowed and replied, "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, Miss Sun said that she was sick. She asked the slave to pass a message to her wife, and she would come back to ask her for her guilt when she was better tomorrow. ”

Xiang Xia lazily held his chin, cocked Erlang's legs, and sneered on his face: "Hmph, what, now I have to look for her time." Am I like the kind of person who has nothing to do every day? I'm willing to waste time on her, but she doesn't appreciate it. Why doesn't she want to think about it, maybe tomorrow I will be inconvenient and have no free time? ”

"Madame is right." The subordinate chimed in. Although it is not clear why Mrs. and the girl Sun have a conflict and become enemies, Mrs. has always treated her subordinates equally, amiably and friendly. And not long after that Sun girl entered the house, she made her wife unhappy, and she really shouldn't be a subordinate maid. So the subordinates naturally stood on the side of Xiang Summer.

"Feeling sick? Oh, I'm going to see how sick it is. ”

iii

"Bang-" With a sound, the subordinate unceremoniously pushed open Sun Ruan'er's door. Xiang Xia walked in slowly and proudly, with a smug smile on his face.

Sun Ruan'er is slender and slender herself, coupled with repeated setbacks, her body is really not good. She was lying on the bed, resting with her eyes closed. I was taken aback by the unexpected sound and the arrival of the guests. She almost bounced up from the bed, and when she saw Xiang Xia, she hurriedly took out her clothes from the futon and put them on.

"Madame, ma'am, why is Madame here?" She asked, gasping for breath and panicking.

"How did I get here. It's not because you have a big shelf, I can't please move you, so I have to come by myself. Raising an eyebrow at Summer, he looked at her with interest.

I have to say that seeing her panicked appearance in a hurry, my heart is still happy. However, Xiang Xia seems to have inadvertently aimed at something, it is Sun Ruan'er's lower abdomen. I don't know if it's her delusion, she feels that Sun Ruan'er's lower abdomen is a lot bigger. It's really rare, can a slender thin person like her be fat? Or did she succeed in separating her and Zilong, she was in a good mood, and even her appetite improved. Thinking of this, Xiang Xia sneered disdainfully.

After Sun Ruan'er put on a loose dress outside, she hurriedly knelt down and admitted her mistake: "Mrs. Hui, the slave knows her mistake, the slave is guilty, and I ask Mrs. to confess." It's just that the slave and maid have no intention of setting up a fight, and please ask the lady to be aware of it. ”

Xiang Xia walked to the edge of his bed, sat down and hooked his legs, "Oh? How do you want me to see? Do you have any evidence that you didn't mean to? ”

"This.... Evidence...."Sun Ruan'er frowned, her face was already bleak, and it was even worse at this time. How can she prove herself, this is clearly deliberately embarrassing her, how can she not feel it.

"Why, can't you get the evidence?" Xiang Xia Qian smiled, "Oh, I forgot. You're not good at this, you're good at destroying evidence. ”

After Xiang Xia said this, Sun Ruan'er's face was obviously different, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, she swallowed her saliva, and clenched her fists. Xiang Xia stared at her with a pair of smiling eyes, looking at her weak and nervous appearance, she knew that there must be a ghost in her heart. If she had been clean and unashamed, she would not have understood her words, and she would not have reacted in this way.

"The slave didn't understand what Madame was talking about. It's just that the slave doesn't know how to make the lady believe that the slave really has no such intention, and the slave can only say that she has a clear conscience. Sun Ruan'er forced her composure, took a deep breath, and explained eloquently.
