Text: Chapter 617: The Epistle is broken
Xiuxiu sat in the courtyard boredly fiddling with the garland in her hand, and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard from time to time, why hasn't Miss come back?
Since she sent a letter to Lin Ziyun that time, she has been kept by Lin Ziyun's side, because she is Miss's personal maid, Xiuxiu has never been bullied, so her life is quite comfortable, she sincerely thanks Lin Ziyun, it was Miss who fished her out of the fire pit, and she also swore to be loyal to her forever when she followed Lin Ziyun.
So after that, the letters between Miss and the scholar Liu were all passed by her hand, and today Miss heard that Mrs. Li was coming, so she ran out with joy, and she has not come back yet, and I don't know what happened.
After a while, Xiuxiu was about to go out to find someone, Lin Ziyun rushed in with red eyes, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" β
Lin Ziyun didn't pay attention to Xiuxiu, rushed directly into the wing, and then locked the door, no matter how Xiuxiu shouted at the door, she didn't open the door.
Xiuxiu looked at the closed door in wonder, the young lady was still full of spring breeze when she went out, why did she have red eyes when she came back?
"Ahem." Hearing a light cough, she hurriedly turned around, and when she saw the master mother of Shangshu Mansion, she hurriedly knelt down, "Madam." β
Lin was also worried about Lin Ziyun, so she came over to take a look, and when she saw that the door was closed, she knew that this girl was playing tricks again, she sighed, and then looked at the person kneeling on the ground and said, "You are the maid who is going to go over in Guan'er?" β
Xiuxiu was stunned, and there was some panic in her heart, but she still replied truthfully, "Yes, madam." β
"Raise your head and let me take a good look." Lin was curious, but his eyes stared at Xiuxiu without blinking.
Xiuxiu felt the needle-like gaze, paused, and then slowly raised her head.
"It's not bad." Immediately, as if she had thought of something, she reached out and picked up Xiuxiu's chin, squinted her eyes and measured it, and then said lightly, "You just stay by Miss's side and wait, if Miss has any abnormal behavior, you will come and tell me, you know?" β
Lin's mouth was gentle, but there was a hint of chill, Xiuxiu couldn't help but shiver, then nodded and said, "Yes, madam." β
"Let's go, Xiaoya." Lin said to the maid beside him.
The maid named Xiaoya responded, and when she was leaving, she glanced at Xiuxiu coolly, as if she was sympathetic and disdainful.
Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin leave, although Madame didn't show much sternness, but that faint glance still made her a little flustered.
At this time, Lin Ziyun stayed in the house, and naturally heard Lin's words, she felt a little cold in her heart, she didn't expect that her biological parents really regarded her as a cash cow, she was more worried about Liu Sheng, looking at her father like that, maybe she would really find someone except Liu Sheng, no, she couldn't let Liu Lang encounter danger.
Thinking of this, she shook her head resolutely, and then took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Yanagi, reminding him to be careful.
"Xiuxiu, you come in."
Xiuxiu heard Miss's voice, and hurriedly ran in, and when she saw Lin Ziyun, she glanced at her cautiously, and saw that Lin Ziyun seemed to be fine, so she asked softly, "Miss, what's the matter?" β
"Xiuxiu, in this family, the only one I can trust is you." Lin Ziyun said solemnly, and then handed the letter to Xiuxiu, "So, Xiuxiu, I hope you can deliver this letter to Liu Sheng." β
Xiuxiu glanced at Lin Aster, and then nodded firmly, "Miss, you saved my life, and I will never betray you." β
Lin Ziyun's eyes were moist, and then the corners of her mouth slowly rose, "Well, you go down first." β
Xiuxiu took the envelope, then glanced at Lin Aster, bowed slightly, and closed the door when she walked out.
That Mrs. Li ate a stomach in Shangshu Mansion, and when he came back, he thought about going to the Moon Gazing House to eat some delicious food to dissipate his anger, and he saw Nalan Kite halfway through, thinking that he should have come out to buy ink, but when he was in a bad mood now, he was afraid that he would scare the juniors at that time, so he thought about turning around and leaving.
As soon as Nalan Kite raised her head, she saw Mrs. Li who turned around and wanted to leave, and she hurriedly shouted, "Mrs. Fu! β
Mrs. Li froze, then turned around helplessly, and then said with a smile, "Kite." β
"Taifu, what's wrong, I don't seem to be in a good mood today." Nalan Kite covered the corners of her mouth and chuckled, "Taifu, it's rare to see that you are in a bad mood, but Kite is a little curious, who can provoke you?" β
Seeing that his emotions had been seen, Mrs. Li did not hide it, so she scolded Lin Cheng in front of Nalan Kite.
"Lord Shangshu? Taifu, don't you have anything to do with him? Nalan Kite was a little surprised, she thought that Taifu was so angry, maybe because her aunt destroyed Taifu's cherished calligraphy and paintings, but she didn't expect it to be because of others.
Mrs. Li sighed and said helplessly, "Alas, it's not for Liu to give birth to that child. β
"Yanagi? Isn't that your protΓ©gΓ©? Could it be that you went to Lord Shangshu to propose marriage? Nalan Kite said in surprise, she had long heard that Liu Sheng and the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion had mutual love, but she didn't expect Liu Sheng to let the Taifu propose.
"You're a smart girl, but if you look at the old man like this, you will know that it didn't work." Mrs. Li scolded again as she spoke, "Lin Cheng, that old man, is really hypocritical, and the old man will never want to have anything to do with him in the future." β
Nalan Kite watched Mrs. Li's angry beard blow up, covered her mouth and snickered a few times before she opened her mouth again to comfort, "Uncle, niece is free and easy and never cares about unworthy people, why is it so abnormal today?" β
Mrs. Li glanced at Nalan Kite, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." Then he casually asked, "The day of the draft is coming, what is your father's plan?" β
Nalan Kite was stunned, then lowered her head and said with a light smile, "Father said that he would send me to the palace." β
"Did your father really say that?" Mrs. Li frowned, Naland shouldn't be a person who can't see the facts clearly, why is he so pedantic?
Nalan Kite smiled, and then said, "Father only told me about this decision today. β
"Kite, you are really willing to enter the deep palace, who is the emperor's heart today, we all know it clearly, do you still want to jump in?" Mrs. Li looked at Nalan Kite deeply, and then said, "If you don't want to, I'll tell your father to go......"
Before Taifu Li finished speaking, Nalan Kite interrupted him urgently, she raised her head and said firmly, "Uncle, although this is my father's decision, it is also my heart. β
"You ......" Mrs. Li looked at Nalan Kite in surprise, then shook her head, and said helplessly, "That's it, you are all idiots, all idiots." β
Nalan Kite's eyes gradually dimmed, and she smiled bitterly, "Yes, my niece is only stupid once in her life." β
Mrs. Li gently patted Nalan Kite's shoulder, and then smiled, "Kite, you can decide your life yourself, but don't regret it in the future." β
"Uncle, when did you see me make a decision and regret it!"
Mrs. Li was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "Sure enough, I'm still old." In an instant, he returned to the appearance of an old naughty boy, waved his hand and said, "Go back, the old man will go to Mochizuki Ju to have a good meal." β
Nalan Kite bowed slightly, and then watched Mrs. Li leave, the curvature of the corners of her mouth gradually disappeared, I will never regret it in my life to be able to stand by his side, after a while she came back to her senses, tilted her head and said lightly, "Go back." β
In the Taifu Mansion, Liu Sheng walked around the room anxiously, and he didn't know what the master and Lin Shangshu were talking about, just now he was a little panicked in his heart, as if something was going to happen.
"Young Master Liu, there is a little maid waiting for you outside the mansion." At this time, a small servant shouted at the door.
"Little maid?" Liu Sheng paused, and then remembered that it was the girl named Xiuxiu next to Lin Ziyun, and he hurriedly ran out, because he was running too fast, and when he saw Xiuxiu, he couldn't speak.
Xiuxiu looked at Liu Sheng's panting appearance, and hurriedly asked with concern, "Young Master Liu, how are you?" β
Liu Sheng waved his hand, and then asked eagerly, "Xiuxiu, but your young lady has sent another letter?" β
Xiuxiu nodded, and then said, "Young Master Liu, this is what my young lady asked me to hand over to you." With that, she took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Liu Sheng, "Xiuxiu also ran out secretly, since the letter was delivered to Childe, it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, Childe take care." β
"Tell your young lady and let her take care of herself."
Xiuxiu nodded, then looked around vigilantly, and said a few more words before leaving in a hurry.
Liu Sheng looked around, then took the letter back to his residence, he closed the door, eagerly opened the envelope, but when he saw the contents of the letter, he instantly fell to the ground, why, why did he try so hard, but still couldn't get Shangshu's affirmation? Guan'er, don't we really have a chance?
Liu Sheng looked at the letter in his hand gloomily, and infinite sadness leaked from the bottom of his heart, in the end, he was too naΓ―ve, thinking that with his own efforts, he would always change Lin Shangshu's opinion of himself.
Yanagi slowly stood up, walked numbly to the table, reached out and picked up the fire fold on the table, lit the letter in his hand, and let it float to the ground.
The dancing flames, flashing like a beast with its mouth wide open, Yanagi looked at the gradually extinguishing spark, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
Mrs. Li ate good wine and good food in Mochizuki Tower, and this anger was almost gone, but he still didn't dare to go back, he originally patted his chest and promised Liu Sheng, but now this face has also been lost, but the thing has not been done, it is really embarrassing, so he simply decided to stay in Mochizuki for a while.
