didn't expect that he would become a hot topic on the rivers and lakes, Zhao Qin was really in no mood to eat any more, so he casually took two bites and went back to the room.

After washing, Zhao Qin and Xia He went to bed early.

The two of them lay on the bed and couldn't sleep for a while.

Zhao Qin found that after returning from the hall, Xia He was very silent, feeling that she seemed to have something on her mind, so she wanted to stir up a topic to talk about.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Qin said, "Xia He, I just heard the group of people downstairs mention that I have a maid named Chunxiang, right?"

"Yes!" replied Xia He in a low voice.

"But how come I've never seen her?" Zhao Qin asked.

"Haven't you seen it?" Xia He asked, "Miss, don't you remember her at all?"

"Xia He, I ......" Zhao Qin said hesitantly: "I'm sorry, I really can't remember the previous things." ”

Xia He stared straight for a long time before he said, "If you can't think of it, forget it! It's not early, Miss, go to sleep!"

Zhao Qin heard the tiredness in her voice, so she didn't say anything, and after a while, she fell asleep.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk," the sound of tapping on the wooden board came from outside the window, "It's dry, be careful of the candles!"

Xia He opened her eyes, she sat up, and turned sideways to look at the sleeping Zhao Qin, but the day when Haruka left flashed in her brain......

"Please, please, as long as I can stay in the house, let me be a handyman, and do the heaviest work...... Please," Haruka pleaded as she kowtowed, but in the end she was dragged out, put in a carriage, and sent to Nishiyama. Xia He and Dong Mei hid in the room, bursting into tears, but they didn't dare to speak out, and their subordinates had to keep taking care of the injured Miss Nangong.

A trace of resentment appeared on Xia He's face, she got out of bed lightly, went through the burden on the table, and accidentally knocked a teacup on the table to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound, which was particularly harsh in the dead of night.

"Huh?" Zhao Qin woke up in a daze, and shouted in a daze: "Xia He, Xia He!" touched his side and touched the air. Zhao Qin was startled, sat up, saw Xia He standing in front of the table by the moonlight, and asked, "Xia He, what are you doing?"

Xia He didn't speak, his fingers were clasped together into a fist.

"Are you looking for something?" asked Zhao Qin.

"Why don't you speak?" Zhao Qin became vigilant, got out of bed and walked over, looked at Xia He and said, "Why are you turning over my baggage......?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Xia He raise the teapot in her hand and smash it at her, Zhao Qin couldn't avoid being hit on the forehead, and the blood flowed for a while. Zhao Qin covered his forehead, feeling that a gold star was floating in front of him, and he was crumbling. She went to hold the table but it was empty, and she fell to the ground.

Zhao Qin struggled and asked, "Xia He...... Why?"

Xia He said, "Miss, do you know what happened to her today?"

"Chunxiang, I don't know ......," Zhao Qin said.

Xia He said, "She's dead! She died in the bitter kiln of Xishan." ”

Zhao Qin said: "She...... Does her death have anything to do with me?"

"What does it matter?" Xia He said: "You had a private meeting with Duan Tianshu, fell into the lotus pond, and the matter was exposed, but my sister was punished and sold to Xishan for hard labor." That's how kind of person is a person who gets up early and is greedy for night, does heavy work, but can't eat, and in less than a month, she was tortured to death......"

"I'm ......" Hearing this, Zhao Qin understood that she was helping Nangong Ling before.

"Chunxiang is your personal maid and my own sister. We sisters have been with you for six years. But now, she lost her life for you, and you forgot her name. Xia He said, "Nangong Ling, shouldn't you pay the price for what you did?"

"I, I, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Zhao Qin said sorry words one after another, no matter how to save his life first, "Xia He, it's my fault, I will definitely correct it, I will make amends, I will atone for my sins, you, will you give me this chance......" Zhao Qin already felt that his head was getting more and more dizzy, and the symptoms of excessive blood loss were already obvious.

Xia He stood motionless, watching Zhao Qin reach out to her for help, watching her bleed profusely, watching her lose consciousness......
