Outside the ancestral hall, Xi Jiangyue looked at the slender back in the room dressed in light-colored robes, kneeling in front of the table, and was writing to copy the scriptures of the past.

The man who was less than half a hundred, his long hair was almost gray.

For a long time, Xi Jiangyue sent back the servants and maids around her, and even Mu Yi, who had been as quiet as the air since she entered the Xifu of the army, was also sent by her to a small servant to rest in a courtyard closest to Tingfeng Pavilion.

Xijiang Yuefang wanted to raise his hand to push open the wooden door of the ancestral hall, but heard the voice of his father Xi, "Kneel outside the door and wait for me." There was a sense of detachment in his flat tone.

Xi Suiyu didn't raise his head, and after speaking, the wolf in his hand waved as before.

Since the death of his mother, his father, who was originally elegant and free, seems to have changed as a person, and treats everyone so coldly.

Xi Jiangyue wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back, so she slowly knelt on the ground outside the ancestral hall and bowed three times and nine times to her mother's tablet.

Then, kneeling on the ground.

Half an hour later.

Under the scorching sun, Xi Jiangyue only felt that her chest tightened suddenly, and her vision gradually blurred.

"Sister!" Mu Yi suddenly fell behind Xi Jiangyue from among the lush canopies, and barely supported her body that was about to fall.

Xi Jiangyue's body was already weak, coupled with the fatigue of the previous journey, where could she withstand the scorching sunlight at this moment.

In the haze, the sound of the door opening sounded in my ears, and I felt that there seemed to be a pair of silver boots with black soles in front of me, "Take her away!" ”

Xi Jiangyue was conscious and knew that it was her father's voice, but her body seemed to be poured with lead, and she fell heavily.

It's like when you fell off a cliff seven years ago.

"Father...... Chanting sutras and reciting Buddha can't save your mother, let alone ...... I can't avenge my mother. Before Xi Jiangyue finished speaking, she passed out and woke up again, it was almost dusk.

The first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Mu Yi.

When the young man saw her wake up, his vigilant and resentful eyes instantly became a little sour, "Sister, let's go back to Wuling Mountain." ”

Xi Jiangyue looked at the few newly stained blood stains on his robe, according to Mu Yi's temperament, she had already guessed most of the matter.

"Why are you doing this?" Xi Jiangyue raised her hand and straightened the few strands of hair scattered by the young man's sideburns, looked at the tray that was placed far away in front of the door, and said softly: "I soiled the robe that the old demon crane made for you in vain." ”

She remembered that Mu Yi begged the old demon crane to make a new dress for him, but he picked mountain fruits for two months between the steep cliffs of Wuling Mountain.

"Sister!" When Mu Yi heard this, the bean-sized tears in his eyes immediately rolled down, "How can he treat you like this?" ”

Seeing him like this, Xijiangyue was very helpless, so she had to turn her head to the door and say, "Bring a basin of warm water." ”

"Yes." Immediately a maid with a sharp ear answered the door, and in a moment brought a basin of warm water, and stood in front of the door hesitatingly, for fear of being beaten out by the young man in the room as before.

Even the eldest son of the Xi family, Xilang, the third son of Xiyan, that young man dared to fight, and he naturally regarded them as low-status slaves and maids.

"Again, give me this." In the end, Xi Xuan, who had just come down to the future and had time to change into a military uniform, reached out to take the copper basin.

"Thank you, second son." The maid named and blue, as if she had been pardoned, reminded timidly: "Second son, be careful, the one inside...... Childe, don't let anyone in our house get close to the eldest lady. Just now, he also injured the eldest son and the third son, if it weren't for the second master to stop him......"

You Lan raised his eyes, and the more he talked about the back, the more inaudible the voice became, but Xi Xuan's face was like frost when he heard it, "You Lan again, you go down." ”

Xi Xuan held the copper basin in one hand, and when he pushed the door in, a short sword suddenly stabbed straight at the door in front of him.

At the same time, the young man's indignant voice sounded, "Get out!" Get me out! ”

Xi Xuan hurriedly raised the copper basin in his hand to block the cold sword blade in front of him.

"Thorn!" The sound of metal grinding against the eardrum like a sharp claw.

"Bang dang!" The shaved copper basin falls to the bottom with a loud noise.

Xi Xuan immediately bent down and leaned over, his steps under his feet spun like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he had moved behind Mu Yi, he held the remaining half of the copper basin in one hand, and suddenly splashed the warm water in it on Mu Yi's face who was turning around with his sword.

"Little wood! That's enough! Xi Xuan's loud voice was full of boredom, "You don't want to be so unreasonable again!" ”

"Am I vexatious?" Mu Yi was indignant, the water beads slowly slipped from between his forehead, and he pointed to Xi Jiangyue, who was still sitting on the bed, with pale complexion, his pupils dilated, and his eyes were almost bloodshot, "You see that your sister-in-law has only been home for two hours, and she has become like this!" You still say I'm vexatious! ”

The word "in-law" pierced Xi Xuan's heart like a sharp blade.

"Helplessly, this is all my Xi's family matter, and it's not your turn to be an outsider to point fingers!" Just now, just approaching the gate of the mansion, the little maid in the Xixuan Courtyard had already informed him of today's events, "Besides, you are acting so recklessly, how will my sister behave in front of others in the future?" ”

Alien?!

He's an outsider?!

Mu Yi snorted coldly, silently recited the word outsider in his mouth, and turned his head to look at Xijiangyue; The water on his face slowly slid down, and he couldn't tell whether it was water or tears.

As far as this joining the army Xifu is concerned, he is indeed an outsider, but he can ......

"Xuan'er, go change your clothes and say hello to your father and uncles." Xi Jiangyue got up and got off the bed, slowly walked past the two of them, leaned over and picked up the tray on the ground, and returned to the table, her voice was still as light as water, "Mu Yi, come here." ”

For Mu Yi, these few words are more useful than any justification.

Xi Jiangyue skillfully bandaged Mu Yi's wounds, and then, her cold eyebrows looked at Xi Xuan, who was still standing in front of the door, "Sister, I have been traveling all the way, and I finally got home, isn't your brother even willing to order someone to prepare dinner?" ”

"I'll send someone to prepare." Xi Xuan wanted to say something more, but after looking at Mu Yi, he still turned around and left quickly.

Seeing Xi Xuan walking away, Mu Yi spoke in shame, "Sister, did Mu Yi do something wrong again?" ”

Previously, when Xi Jiangyue fainted, he didn't think about it so much, but after Xi Xuanfang's words, he also knew that he was acting too recklessly.

"Mu Yi is right, you don't need to think much about your sister's future situation." Xi Jiangyue smiled softly, and wiped the water droplets on his face with a brocade pa, "If my sister doesn't even have this strain, how can the old demon crane be willing to let me go down the mountain?" ”

Mu Yi was relieved when he heard this.

But Wen Xi Jiangyue said again: "In the future, my sister's home will be Mu Yi's home, and my sister's family will be Mu Yi's family." ”

"In the future, Hugh will go back to Wuling Mountain." Moreover, she has been working hard for seven years, in order to go down the mountain this time to find out the real murderer of her mother, and the real murderer is missing at this moment, how can she go back?

"Miss." Outside the door, the maid who called the blue girl glanced at Mu Yi and said timidly, "Mu Gongzi." ”

"Dinner has been prepared, and the second master asked the slave maid to invite the eldest lady and Mu Gongzi to the flower hall for dinner."

"Okay, you go back and tell the second uncle first, and we'll be there soon." Whether it is to the elders in the family or the maid in front of her, Xi Jiangyue's voice is as light as water.

Mu Yi pursed his lips, "Sister, I'...... Don't want to go! ”
