She didn't understand what he meant.

But Zhang Liuling didn't continue the topic, his hand moved away from her cheek, and of course his gaze stayed on her face.

"Uncle Zhang, what are you talking about?"

She asked, "What, in the first place?"

Zhang Liuling only said to her inquiry, "It's not important, what matters is now."

Jiang Yue really didn't understand his words, looking at his waveless face, but she was not a person who would grasp that little word and ask, she still cried and said, "I know that Uncle Zhang loves me."

Her hand subconsciously shook his hand again, so timid and pitiful: "Isn't it?"

"You'll protect me, won't you?"

Zhang Liuling, for her touch, his hand was raised again, his fingers caressed her cheek inch by inch, and he whispered slowly, "How can I not protect you."

His fingertips fell on her lips, and there was a hint of cold sharpness in his eyes: "Only you, I will always protect you forever."

This sentence sounded like a love story, but Jiang Yue inexplicably felt a little scary and awkward, her eyes were still looking at him, and she didn't move.

After his fingertips landed on her red lips, he pinched her round chin instead, and his fingertips sank between her lips and teeth, and he whispered, "You deserve death if you kill a pool of goldfish."

His voice was low and deep, but his tone was a little indulgent: "Do you know what that pool of goldfish means to the Zhang family?"

His eyes were downcast, his lips moved slightly, and he spoke in a tone that seemed to be whispering.

Jiang Yue's eyes were red: "What does it mean?"

"Meaning she'll make you kneel in the ancestral hall until you kneel through that bluestone slab under your knee."

The one in his mouth that she was referring to was naturally Mrs. Zhang, the water in Jiang Yue's eyes flashed rapidly, and a frightened face was called a flower with a discoloration, and there was no rouge on his face.

Her emotions, which had finally calmed down, began to fluctuate again, and sobbing in her throat: "Don't, don't."

It's really pitiful, no one in this world can cry more than her, every tear seems to fall on a man's heart.

"Do you cry like that in front of anyone?"

His eyes softened as he looked at her, "Well, answer me."

She hugged his wrist again with both hands, and her eyes were full of earnestness: "No, I haven't cried like this in front of others, I only cry in front of Uncle Zhang, I just want Uncle Zhang to hurt me." She was still begging, "Don't let my grandmother let me go to the ancestral hall, I'm afraid."

Her tears were like a small river, from her chin to the back of his hand, and her face was wrinkled like a small crumpled towel.

Zhang Liuling thought that no man should be willing to let her cry like this, and he was actually one of the men, thinking of this, his fingers wiped away the tears on her cheeks for her, and his fingertip movements to wipe her tears were so delicate and gentle: "No matter what mistakes you make, I will forgive, don't cry."

After Jiang Yue heard his words, all her tears stopped instantly, and the voice in her throat suddenly disappeared.

Zhang Liuling felt her strangeness, his originally lowered eyes raised a little slightly, his tone was not shocked, the expression on his face did not move, his tone was clear and leisurely, and his fingertips that wiped her tears also stopped: "What's wrong."

The feeling of fear in Jiang Yue's heart actually came out two or three points again, she stared at his face, and she actually had the urge to remove her face from his cold fingertips, because she felt a trace of discomfort, this discomfort seemed to come from his strange emotions and strange words at this time.

Her crying disappeared, and the room suddenly fell silent, and Zhang Liuling had been waiting for her answer.

Jiang Yue moved her frozen tongue, and after a long time, she stammered, "No, it's nothing."

Jiang Yue dodged making eye contact with him.

Zhang Liuling naturally noticed her move, he just lowered his eyelids, and there was a rare fear in his eyes that looked at her coldly.

The fingers on his face, on her blown-up skin, were more and more pitying.

Xu Yunhe came down from upstairs, originally thinking about how to hide the outside world, not to be known by her mother during this time, she just walked to the hall, and saw everything in the garden outside, she was stunned, stopped and asked the maid, "This, what's going on?"

She saw the people by the pool, and fished out a lot of goldfish from the pool, isn't that the goldfish that her mother regards as life? How could so much be salvaged?

There happened to be a busy servant in the hall, who answered her, "Madam, all the goldfish in the pond are dead, and Madame has asked us to catch all the dead goldfish."

Xu Yunhe's face turned pale with fright, what's going on lately? Now there is an accident outside Zhang's house, and now there is a pond of fish dead at home, this is a goldfish specially invited to the release pond of the temple, and now they are all dead, which is not an auspicious omen.

Xu Yunhe's voice was fluttering: "How can you die?"

She thought she had died for no reason, and the next second the servant replied to her: "It was the little lady who fed her and died."

Hearing this, Xu Yunhe stared at the servant, and she asked three words: "Death?"

"Yes."

"How could she touch that pool of goldfish?"

The servant didn't reply to her, because the servant was in a hurry to get the net.

She actually, actually committed another crime, and even committed such a thing, Xu Yunhe watched the goldfish being picked out of the pool, only to feel extremely uncomfortable, she hurriedly went to the backyard and met the housekeeper.

Xu Yunhe immediately asked, "Housekeeper, how is Mom's side?"

The butler said, "I suggest you don't go there for a while."

Xu Yunhe knew that it meant that she should not go to the wall, so Xu Yunhe naturally didn't go, but asked the housekeeper again, "What did Mom say over there?"

The butler sighed, "Didn't say anything."

The butler said no more, and hurried into the hall to the garden pool.

Xu Yunhe saw his sad expression, but she didn't continue to enter the backyard, she had always wondered about her mother-in-law's attitude of Mrs. Zhang, Jiang Yue had committed such a serious thing, she just asked the maid at home to catch the fish, which was too in line with her usual formality.

Xu Yunhe stood there and pondered for a few seconds, looking at the messy home, and found that the culprit had never been seen, she turned around and went to the hall, and went upstairs to find Jiang Yue, but she was not found upstairs, Xu Yunhe went downstairs again and asked the maid downstairs, "What about her?"

The servants who came and went in the hall replied, "Who are you asking?"

"Jiang Yue."

"I don't know, it looks like I've been upstairs all along."

Xu Yunhe said, "No one is upstairs."

The servant said strangely, "Why aren't you upstairs?"
