Shangguan Li put down the wooden bucket full of water.

When he looked up and saw the shocked look of the maid, he raised his eyebrows.

"You know me?"

The maid took a step back directly, or the stone, and slid directly on one side. But this time Shangguan Li didn't help, and she fell firmly.

But she didn't care about crying out in pain, but her face was full of panic.

"Three, third miss, the slave maid has just entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, you, you have a lot of adults, and I still have younger brothers and sisters and ...... at home"

Shangguan Li: "......"

Does she look like she's going to eat people or what?

I thought that the news of her discord with the Prime Minister came in, so this maid thought that she was here to seek revenge.

"You get up first."

She interrupted the maid in a cold voice.

The maid was really obedient, and immediately shut up, and then stood up tremblingly.

Shangguan Li glanced at the bucket shaking the clear water and asked.

"Is the Prime Minister's Mansion so depressed that he doesn't even have a little guy who carries water?"

The maid was stunned for a moment before she reacted, this was asking her a question.

"Phase, after the accident in the Prime Minister's Mansion, many people ran away. Now there are very few people left in the house, so that's why ......"

Shangguan Li's face sank.

"If I remember correctly, the emperor said that the prime minister's mansion was blocked, who allowed people to go out?"

"Ahh

The maid was directly frightened by her aura, and "I, I, I" didn't say a word for a long time.

"It's up to them, the people, to decide where those people go, three...... Why should the county lord be embarrassed by a little girl? ”

A voice interjected.

Shangguan Li looked up and saw that the originally handsome face of the person who came was quite sickly, and he occasionally covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief during walking, looking a little sick.

The maid's eyes lit up when she saw him.

"The eldest son!"

Shangguan Bu smiled at her.

"You go down first, I'll have a few words with the county lord."

The maid who was still scared of Shangguan Li just now, and wanted to leave immediately, heard this but did not leave immediately.

Instead, he looked at Shangguan Bu with a little hesitation.

"Childe, you ......"

"It's fine."

Shangguan Bu waved his hand.

"Now that the emperor's order is still to blockade the Prime Minister's Mansion, I think even the county lord would not dare to disobey the holy will, right?"

Shangguan Li didn't speak next to him, which was a tacit acquiescence to his words.

Hearing him say this, the maid finally nodded and left.

Her figure had just disappeared at the end of the path, and Shangguan Bu breathed a sigh of relief. But he didn't dare to speak loudly, just looked at Shangguan Li.

"There's no one around."

Hearing her words, the seriousness on Shangguan Bu's face suddenly disappeared.

"Alas, I'm tired to death, and acting is not a simple job."

Shangguan Li smiled.

"Let's just talk here?"

"Ahh

Shangguan Bu reacted.

"Follow me."

As the two walked, Shangguan Li asked casually.

"I see that little maid seems to have a good attitude towards you, it seems that you haven't been idle these days?"

Shangguan Bu walked beside Shangguan Li, although he still looked a little weak when he walked, but most of the sick look on his face was gone.

He shook his head and smiled slightly, but there was a bit of bitterness in his smile.

"Didn't you ask where those little guys in the house were? Since my father was imprisoned, the status of the Prime Minister's Mansion has plummeted, and the hearts of the people have been scattered, but because of an order from the emperor, no one can move for the time being. ”

"Until a day ago, a big man suddenly came, saying that he wanted to find a new good owner for the people in the house, and there was a way to take them out."

Shangguan Bu sighed when he said this, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more bitter.

"As you guessed, there are a lot of people who want to leave. Among them, there are many elderly people who have been here for more than ten years. ”

Shangguan Li nodded lightly.

"It's just human nature, after all, you have to find a way out for yourself."

"I understand that."

Shangguan Bu half-hung his head, and his voice was a little low.

"It's always a little uncomfortable to just see this scene with my own eyes."

When he was a teenager, he followed his eldest sister to the Western Realm, and some people, they were there when he left the Prime Minister's Mansion and were still there when he came back, and it was always easy for people to have some kind of illusion called "longevity" and "friendship".

However, once it changes, it is such a scattered ending.

He has read many books, and he has seen many people who are sophisticated, and he knows the truth, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that it is not easy to accept it calmly.

Shangguan Li saw his thoughts, paused, and said lightly.

"In life, most of the people you meet are passers-by. It doesn't matter how long you've been together, and no matter how much you've wished. If you really want to go to the end, you need to have the ability to keep them. ”

"For example, today, if you were stronger than me, the Prime Minister would not be where it is now. Maybe if you are loved by everyone, maybe there are many people who are willing to risk their lives to follow you......"

At this point, she glanced at Shangguan Bu steadily.

"Do you understand?"

Shangguan Bu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"Third sister, are you comforting people? How do you poke people in their wounds? ”

Shangguan Li sneered.

"Okay, then I see that the maid is still willing to follow you, I guess you are also extraordinary."

"Not really."

After saying this, Shangguan Bu's mood was also a lot more relaxed, and explained.

"Most of the remaining people in the house are raised by their families, and if they find a new owner, something may happen. As for me, I still had some spare money in business before, so I made up for it so that they could settle down with their families. ”

No wonder the maid seemed to be very respectful of Shangguan Bu.

Shangguan Li thought clearly.

Although Shangguan Bu didn't say anything, this move really won the hearts of the people, so that the current Prime Minister could at least have an empty shelf to support it, so that it would not directly become a plate of loose sand.

As the two walked, Shangguan Li found that the scenery in front of her was becoming more and more familiar, and when the iconic reed forest appeared in sight, she reacted that this was actually Lu Yuan.

"Usually few people come here, and it's even more deserted after the accident. I've asked Miss Hongxuan to move over two days ago, so the third sister shouldn't mind, right? ”

Shangguan Li shook his head.

Although it was Qiyi's former residence, it didn't have any special meaning to her.

Moreover, Shangguan Bu asked Xitu to move over, which was a kind of protection for the Lu Yuan.

Under the chaos, who knows what kind of human hearts will be born.

As soon as the two of them dragged over the reeds and entered the courtyard, they heard a heart-rending cough from the house, accompanied by a miserable and contrived woman's scream.

"Oh, my head, my waist, my legs, they all hurt so much......"
