Chapter 19: Brother Xuan Ce, I'm afraid

Have an accident?

What can happen to a shrewd woman like Pei Daozhu?

Xiao Heng picked up a book disappreciably and flipped through it indifferently.

Seeing that he was unmoved, the maid had to go out to reply to the pillow star.

Pillow Star held an umbrella, and her skirt was half wet from the rain.

She rubbed her sour and red eyes, and helplessly glanced at the brightly lit Wangbeiju, and thought about it for a long time, so she had to go to Mrs. Xiao.

She really couldn't think of anyone else who could help her girl except the old lady.

……

"Xiao Jiu, you left Ananda outside alone?!"

Xiao Heng was summoned to Mrs. Xiao's residence, and as soon as he asked for peace, he heard a reprimand that cut his head and covered his face.

He glanced at Pillow Star, who quickly lowered his head in horror.

He twisted the Buddha beads, pressed the surging anger in his chest, and said, "Mother, she doesn't want to go back to Jinliang Garden." ”

Mrs. Xiao sat on the upper seat, only combing her homely hair in a bun at night.

She was displeased: "Even if she doesn't want to go back to Jinliang Garden, you have to honestly send people home, what kind of system is it to be lost halfway?" In case of a mistake, it will be a mountain of gold and silver, and it will not be able to compensate her family! ”

Xiao Heng was silent.

Old Madam Xiao lost her temper again and said: "Ah Rong's marriage with her was originally agreed in the morning, and it was our family's fault to suddenly withdraw from the marriage. is already ashamed of others, how dare you bully other girls again? Go, you go and get Ananda back yourself. If there is a good one, Xiao Jiu, you know how powerful your father is! ”

Xiao Heng twisted the Buddha beads.

I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't think of a suitable excuse for a while.

He was silent, bowed his head and bowed his head.

The lights flickered.

Old Madam Xiao looked at the youngest son of the wind god Xiuche, and suddenly her heart moved, and she stopped him and said: "Ananda is beautiful and noble, and his virtue is outstanding, if it is not for the middle of the family, why is the marriage not smooth?" You and she are both good-looking, and you look right, orβ€”"

"Mother."

Xiao Heng interrupted her words with a calm face: "Beauty is just a pink skeleton, just a mistaken child." The child's wish in life is to regain the territory and avenge his grandfather. As long as the old capital falls under the iron horses of the alien race one day, as long as the enemy lives happily and happily one day, the child will never marry. ”

He was dressed in white and held the jade Buddha beads in his fingertips.

is obviously an independent saint, but his eyes are full of perseverance and blood, and his spine is as straight as a mountain, as if he will never give in.

The old lady's words choked in her throat.

After a while, she waved her hand and motioned for Xiao Heng to step back.

After the maids in the hall also retreated, Mama Jiang brought hot ginger tea and said with a smile: "The Ninth Master is angry, in today's family, how many children are there who don't like dogs and horses, and only devote themselves to the family and the country?" You should be proud of him. ”

The old lady took a sip of ginger tea.

Wind and rain blew through the doors and windows, blowing out a few lights.

The light and shadow in the hall became dim, and the Kyushu landscape paintings hanging in the central hall were even more mottled and old.

On the stormy spring night, the old man's usually kind face seemed to have a few more wrinkles, and his palm rubbed the cup, but he couldn't feel any temperature.

She whispered, "Revenge...... Who will he avenge ......?"

Seeing that she was so abnormal, the smile on Mama Jiang's face disappeared.

She whispered: "Don't worry, the ninth master won't know, all the insiders of that incident have been executed by Xiangye, if only Xiangye, you and the old slave know about it today." The Ninth Master won't know, in this life, he won't know until he dies. Don't feel guilty, that's what he owes the Xiao family......"

……

The rain is dripping, but the night market by the Qinhuai River is still bustling, and the fire-colored lanterns are warm and hazy, extending into the distance along the riverbank.

Suzaku Bridge.

Pei Daozhu sat alone in the wind and rain pavilion, crying alone at the distant Qinhuai River.

She's just thinking better.

She didn't snatch love and snatch her fiancΓ© like Gu Yanwan, and she didn't hurt others, she was just a little more scheming than ordinary girls, and she didn't have no conscience, what's wrong with her?

Why did Xiao Xuance want to humiliate her and kill her completely?

Just as he was sad, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the pavilion:

"Bae Daozhu."

Pei Daozhu looked.

The person who came was dressed in white and snowy, and his hair was woven with red and red.

He stood in the rainy night, holding a lamp in one hand and an umbrella in the other, a string of jade Buddha beads hanging from his wrist, and was looking at her indifferently.

Xiao Xuance.

He turned back to her......

He is so arrogant, how can he be willing to bow his head?

Pei Daozhu's eyes moved slightly, and he secretly said that he hadn't seen her go back, so he went to find Mrs. Xiao in a hurry, and Mrs. Xiao put pressure on Xiao Xuance before asking him to pick her up in person.

She pulled her handkerchief and said deliberately: "I love vanity, and I have never liked you, so why did you come to me?" I am very comfortable here, looking at the river in the distance, listening to the sound of the rain, and feeling more self-cultivation. Tonight, I won't go back with you. ”

She had to ask Xiao Heng three times and four times, so that she could find some dignity before she was willing to go back with him.

Xiao Heng laughed angrily at her.

I've seen someone who loves face, but I've never seen someone who loves face like this.

He deliberately said: "I'm not here to pick you up and take you back to Jinliang Garden." ”

Pei Daozhu's hand clutching the handkerchief suddenly tightened.

Xiao Heng clearly caught her nervousness, and the corners of his lips added some sarcasm: "It's just teasing you, what are you nervous about?" Or do you want to go back to Jinliang Garden, don't you? ”

Pei Daozhu's cheeks were hot, and he pursed his lips tightly, refusing to pay attention to him anymore.

Xiao Heng handed her an umbrella: "Do you want to go?" ”

Pei Daozhu didn't dare to take Qiao anymore, so he had to reluctantly stretch it out: "What about my skirt and jewelry?" If Second Brother Lu were to accompany me shopping today, he would have already bought what I liked......"

Xiao Heng glanced at her.

She even dared to beg for something around the corner......

Exposed to Xiao Heng's indifferent gaze, although Pei Daozhu was unwilling, he had no choice but to shut up.

The Xiao family's long-eaves car was parked just outside the street.

Walking from Suzaku Bridge to the direction of the long eaves car, the more you walk, the more the lights are deserted, and the surroundings gradually fall into the chaotic darkness of the rainy night.

Pei Daozhu followed behind Xiao Heng and subconsciously grabbed his sleeve.

Xiao Heng was displeased: "Let go." ”

Bae Do-joo bit her lower lip in embarrassment and slowly let go of her fingers.

After taking a few more steps, she still carefully pinched the corner of his sleeve: "Brother Xuance, I can't see it, I'm afraid." You'll let me hold you by the corner of your sleeve, okay? ”

The girl's tail voice is delicate, with a slight tremble, and she is sincerely afraid.
