Mu Xin's illness dragged on for several days, and then he rested for a while before returning to Qin Zhiyi's side to take care of him.

Although Xiao Yue said that she didn't need to be afraid of Qin Zhiyi, Mu Xin still couldn't get over the level in her heart.

Every time he saw Qin Zhiyi's face, Mu Xin would uncontrollably think of the scene when the peony was dragged away and buried alive. To this day, she still doesn't dare to go to the plum orchard where peonies are buried.

She heard from other little girls that the plum blossoms in the yard were very beautiful.

She had fear in her heart, and it was inevitable that she would make mistakes when doing things in ordinary times, but Qin Zhiyi had never bothered with her.

But Qin Zhiyi didn't care, but she couldn't stand it herself.

After making another mistake, Mu Xin knelt on the ground with a puff, his eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Princess, slaves and maids have limited abilities and can't serve the princess well, so please send the slaves and maids elsewhere." ”

Qin Zhiyi lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Where do you want to go?" ”

Mu Xin didn't think about it and said, "It's okay anywhere." ”

Qin Zhiyi was silent for a moment, then chuckled lightly and said, "It's okay anywhere, as long as it's not by my side, right?" ”

"No......" Mu Xin opened his mouth, but he didn't come up with a better explanation, so he had to look at Qin Zhiyi with a smile.

Qin Zhiyi rubbed his eyebrows and said slowly: "It seems that it scared you that day." ”

Mu Xin: "......"

Qin Zhiyi leaned back relaxedly, and said lightly: "I don't like the difficulties of strong people, you don't want to serve by my side, and I don't force you." ”

Mu Xin pursed her lips, then kowtowed to Qin Zhiyi and said, "Thank you princess for your success!" ”

"The peony is gone, there is a lack of a steward in the back kitchen, you can go!" Qin Zhiyi said lightly: "I hope that after staying away from me, you can live a little happier." ”

Mu Xin's face was pale, and he didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, she slowly bowed her head and said, "Thank you, princess!" ”

Qin Zhiyi waved his hand, and Mu Xin stood up and retreated.

As soon as Mu Xin left, Satsuki walked in from outside.

There was no one else in the courtyard at the moment, Xiao Yue changed her previous caution, rushed to Qin Zhiyi's side, and asked with a smile: "You sent her away like this?" ”

Qin Zhiyi glanced at her and said, "If people don't want to, can I still force me to stay?" ”

Xiao Yue pursed her lips and said, "You are so good, why should she be afraid of you?" ”

Qin Zhiyi smiled and reached out to pinch her face, and said, "Only you, a little fool, would think I was good." ”

"I'm not stupid," Xiao Yue snorted and said, "Gu Nanfeng is really stupid." ”

Qin Zhiyi: "......"

"Okay, okay, I know you don't like people calling him a fool." Satsuki blinked and said, "I won't call anymore." ”

The recognition was too fast, so that Qin Zhiyi had no chance to educate her.

Qin Zhiyi couldn't cry or laugh, so he couldn't help but reach out angrily and twist her cheek again.

This Xiaoyue is actually someone she has known for a long time. Or rather, she raised it.

Last time there was a big change of blood in the palace, Qin Zhiyi mixed a lot of his own people into the batch of people who bought it, and Xiao Yue was one of them.

So compared to Mu Xin, the dowry girl sent by Mrs. Qin, she actually trusts Xiaoyue more.

Xiao Yue didn't hide when her face was pinched, she pulled Qin Zhiyi's leg like a little laipi, and put her head on the pillow.

"You told me to check that peony before, there is some news." Xiao Yue's voice was lazy, no longer laughing and simple in front of people, but a little more gloomy: "That peony, there is really a problem." ”

Qin Zhiyi looked stunned, and then touched Xiaoyue's head casually, as if he was touching a cat, and asked, "What did you find out?" ”

Xiao Yue was touched comfortably, squinted slightly, and said, "She is not called Peony at all, nor is she a little pitiful in the hands of human traffickers." Among the people we bought, there was no one like her. The one named Peony is another girl, and she got in under someone else's name. And the child who was originally called Peony...... Our men found her body in a mass grave. ”

Qin Zhiyi seemed to have expected it, and was not surprised, so he only asked: "Have you found out her specific identity?" ”

Xiao Yue's face was a little not good-looking, and said: "Who her master is, I haven't found out for the time being, someone has cleaned the road for her, and it has been handled very cleanly." But...... She came out of the palace. ”

"Sure enough," Qin Zhiyi's eyes turned cold, and he said slowly, "It's for that fool." ”

Xiao Yue propped herself up and looked up at her, and said sullenly, "Why are you helping him?" It's not for you anyway. Now that you have disposed of people, the people behind it will definitely hold a grudge against you, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future. ”

Qin Zhiyi lowered his eyes and said, "If I marry him, I will be in the same boat with him." I'm not helping him, I'm helping myself. ”

Xiao Yue snorted and said, "It's all excuses." ”

Qin Zhiyi: "......"

Xiao Yue said a little unpleasantly: "Wei Ren's two hundred and five is right, you just fell in love with that fool." ”

Qin Zhiyi stared at Xiao Yue's unhappy face, and didn't refute for a while.

Xiao Yue looked even more angry and said, "Why did you fall in love with him?" What else is good about him besides a face? ”

Qin Zhiyi blinked, feeling that these words were familiar, and Wei Ren had scolded him like this at the beginning.

"Forget it," Xiao Yue vented a few words, then obediently said, "As long as you are happy, you can do whatever you want." ”

Qin Zhiyi touched her head and said, "Thank you!" ”

Xiao Yue hugged her with a smile and said softly: "You are the person I love the most, and my greatest wish is that you can be happy, as long as you are happy." ”

A warm current flowed through Qin Zhiyi's heart, which softened her expression a lot.

Xiao Yue finished lying coquettishly, took a step back, and asked, "That fool, do you know that you are so attentive to him?" ”

Qin Zhiyi was silent for a moment, and couldn't say with a little cry and laughter: "You called him a fool, do you think he can understand this?" ”

Xiao Yue pursed her lips, sighed, and said, "What do you say you are suffering?" You're tired of blocking the sword for him here, and he's stupid behind him, and he doesn't know anything. Just thinking about it makes me feel annoyed! ”

Qin Zhiyi smiled and said casually: "It's okay, it's all willing." Moreover...... He didn't understand the complicated emotions, but he was very good to me. ”

It was so good that Qin Zhiyi's frozen heart couldn't help but melt.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yue couldn't say anything, so she talked about something else.

"Chinese New Year's Eve will be in a few days, but our house is still deserted, and there is no New Year's atmosphere at all." Satsuki's voice was muffled and not very happy.

Qin Zhiyi didn't care much about these festivals, and only said: "There are few people in our house, and it can't be lively, let alone ...... This year's Chinese New Year's Eve, I am afraid that I will have to spend it in the palace. On Chinese New Year's Eve, you can hang out with the other little sisters and don't have to stay in the mansion. ”

Xiao Yue naturally knew that Qin Zhiyi didn't value these festivals, but this year was different.

She leaned in front of Qin Zhiyi and said softly, "I seem to have heard that Chinese New Year's Eve is Wang Ye's birthday. ”
