"You saw me that day?" Nie Junheng squinted slightly, and there was temptation in his tone.

Ah Lian didn't notice the cold light flashing in his eyes, only knelt on the ground, and said truthfully: "Yes, the slave and maid have seen it, the slave and maid recognize your eyes, and the slave and maid also know that you killed Wei Jinglang." ”

In the room, the sky flickered and darkened, and even the air gradually froze.

Ah Lian didn't realize it, she raised her eyes and looked up at the man in front of her, and the tenderness in her eyes was wanton: "The general/army killed Wei Jinglang, which saved the slave and maid from the sea of fire, and the slave and maid wanted to repay the kindness of the general/army as a cow and a horse." ”

Nie Junheng stared at her expressionlessly and said, "The general/army killed that beast, but it wasn't for you!" Why should you reciprocate? ”

Ah Lian said: "The general/army doesn't know, the slave and maid were robbed into the house by Wei Jinglang as a concubine, he bullied me and humiliated me, and the slave and maid had long wanted him to die, but the slave and maid were weak and could not take his dog's life, nor could they get out, it was the general/army who stabbed him for the slave and the maid, so in the slave's heart, the general/army was the benefactor of the slave and the maid." ”..

"The slave and maid have no father, no mother, and nothing to rely on, please don't drive the slave and the slave away, the slave and the maid are willing to serve you for the rest of their lives."

She looked at him, her words full of anticipation.

Nie Junheng took two steps forward, stood in front of her, his eyes drooped slightly, stared straight at her, and said, "Except for you, is there a second person who knows about this matter?" ”

Ah Lian said truthfully: "Except for the slave and maid, no one knows, that day the old marquis tortured the slave and maid, and the slave and maid did not confide in you in order to protect you......

Nie Junheng curled the corners of his lips mockingly: "Protect me? ”

Ah Lian raised her eyes to look at him, and said with tears in her eyes: "General/army doesn't believe in slaves? ”

Nie Junheng's eyes turned pale and said, "But I only believe in the dead!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice interrupted his movements.

"Jun Heng."

Hearing Ling Xue's voice, the dagger with the sharp edge in his sleeve was immediately withdrawn into the scabbard.

The moment he turned to look at Ling Xue, the ice in Nie Junheng's eyes melted in an instant.

He asked her in the usual tone, "Why is my sister here?" ”

Ling Xue looked at Ah Lian, who was still kneeling on the ground, and saw that she looked pitiful, and mistakenly thought that she was frightened, so she said: "Ah Lian, this girl has a poor background, I saw that she had nowhere to go, so I wanted to leave her in the mansion on an errand." You're busy with business right now, and it's not appropriate if you don't have a maid to serve you. ”

"When I saw that she was clever and clever, I wanted her to come and serve you."

After speaking, she added: "However, if you don't like it, my sister will place her in another yard and arrange another maid." ”

Hearing that she was going to be transferred, Ah Lian's heart sank, she looked up at Ling Xue, and said, "County master, the slave maid is willing to stay by the general/army to serve, begging the county lord not to drive the slave and maid away." ”

Ling Xue helped Ah Lian up and said softly, "I didn't want to drive you away, I wanted to arrange a better errand for you." Don't worry, I won't lose your monthly money. ”

Ah Lian said with tears in her eyes: "The slave and maid don't want monthly money, the slave and maid want to stay with the general/army and ask the county lord to fulfill it." ”

Ling Xue was very surprised.

If you were someone else, I would just like to be transferred to another place early, but this little girl is good, but it's the first time we've met, so why do you have to stay here?

Isn't it, her always cold brother really has feelings for the girl in front of her, so she is very different to her?

Thinking of this, Ling Xue felt a touch of complicated feelings in her heart, she raised her eyes to look at Nie Junheng, and said, "That...... Do you still want her? If you don't want to keep her......"

"Since it's the one sent by my sister, then let's stay."

Ling Xue was stunned for a moment, and forgot to react for a while.

Before she could finish her sentence, he couldn't wait to leave her behind......

Unable to tell what it was like in her heart, Ling Xue looked at Ah Lian and said, "Then you can stay." ”

Ah Lian burst into tears and smiled, and she said gratefully: "The slave and maid will not live up to the expectations of the county master, and the slave and maid will take good care of the master." ”

Ling Xue smiled faintly and said, "Okay, if there is something you don't understand, Yuzhu will teach you." ”

In the end, Ling Xue looked at Nie Junheng and said, "It's nothing, then I want to go back first." ”

Nie Junheng just looked at her quietly for a long time before saying, "Okay." ”

Ling Xue was inexplicably a little lost.

In the past few days, he has never taken the initiative to come to her, and if he hadn't come to him under this guise today, he probably wouldn't have wanted to see her.

Now, having found a satisfactory maid for him, it is not interesting for her to stay here, it is better to leave early.

Thinking of this, she lifted her feet and walked out the door.

"Wait."

Someone grabbed her wrist, Ling Xue paused, and looked at Nie Junheng with a puzzled expression.

Nie Junheng lowered his eyes and said to Ah Lian: "Go out." ”

Ah Lian was slightly stunned.

Nie Junheng's tone was suddenly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Let you out!" ”

Ah Lian came back to her senses, did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and respectfully retreated.

As soon as Ah Lian left, only Ling Xue and Nie Junheng were left in the room.

"What's wrong?" Ling Xue asked.

Nie Junheng closed the door with his backhand.

He turned and walked towards her with a look on his face that was obscure.

In the end, he stood in front of her, his eyes fixed on her, and his tone was not distinguishing between joy and anger: "This time, my sister has nothing to say to me?" ”

Naturally, I wanted to say something to him....

She wanted to ask him why he always avoided her these days, why he always went out early and returned late, and asked him if he really didn't want to deal with her......

There were too many things she wanted to ask, but in the face of him, Ling Xue didn't know where to start.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Nie Junheng approached inch by inch, and although the light in the room flickered on and off, Ling Xue raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her, he was tall, and his gaze at her was fierce.

Like a beast, staring at its prey.

Such a look made her heart tremble for a while.

She always felt that the well-behaved and obedient brother in the past had changed, became a little stranger, and always made her palpitate for no reason......

Just like now, her heart is beating inexplicably fast......

"Why doesn't my sister speak?"

He cornered her, and the tall figure completely enveloped her.

Ling Xue's back was pressed against the wall, but the man in front of her was still approaching.

She finally couldn't help it and put her hands against his chest, but his burning breath still fell on her face.

There was a heartbeat in her ears, and for a while, she couldn't tell whether it was her own or his.

There was a faint crimson on her cheeks, Ling Xue looked up at the man who was close in front of her, his handsome and flawless face was reflected in her eyes very clearly at this moment, and it made her trance-free for a while.

In fact, Ling Xue has always felt that her brother is very good-looking.

is different from Su Jingting's gentle and good-looking.

It's not as handsome as Daddy.

is not like his father-in-law, he gave birth to a handsome son who is loved by everyone.

His good-looking is different, and it is a beauty that can make people fall into it at a single glance, but they dare not look at it directly.

Maybe he was born with different pupils, so the world didn't dare to look at him directly.

But Ling Xue felt that even such a pair of terrifying different pupils, inlaid on such a face, were extremely good-looking.

Momentarily trapped, she forgot to look away, and just looked at him directly. For a moment, she seemed to see a whirling dark color in his eyes, fleeting.

She muttered, "Why have you been avoiding me these days? ”

Nie Junheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Avoiding you?" When did I avoid you? ”

Ling Xue said: "Then what are you busy with when you go out early and return late?" ”

Nie Junheng said: "I am busy with official business, not deliberately avoiding my sister. ”

Hearing this, Ling Xue's long-pent-up haze actually dissipated in an instant.

At this time, Nie Junheng asked her, "What about Sister?" ”

"You haven't come to me these days because you have someone else in your heart, so you can't tolerate me?"

"Someone else?"

Ling Xue was puzzled, where should she start?

Nie Junheng didn't plan to go around the bend with her, Su Jingting who appeared out of thin air hadn't slept well for a few days!

He asked her, "Sister, is she really in love with Su Jingting?" ”

"How so?" Ling Xue didn't hesitate for a moment to speak; "Master Su is honest, I just don't hate him, but I don't like him. I made it clear to him that day. ”

Hearing this, Nie Junheng's dull mood suddenly brightened.

"Sister really doesn't like him?"

Ling Xue said: "Of course I don't like it. After that, she said to Nie Junheng earnestly: "But you acted too recklessly that day, you shouldn't hurt him." Fortunately, Master Su is generous and doesn't bother with you......"

"It's my fault, I'm not going to compensate my sister."

Before she finished speaking, Nie Junheng opened his mouth to interrupt her, and as he spoke, he didn't know when he had an extra hairpin in his hand.

Ling Xue looked at the exquisite and chic hairpin in his hand and said, "Where did you get the hairpin?" ”

Nie Junheng said: "I bought it on purpose." ”

Ling Xue said, "Who bought it for?" ”

She unconsciously thought of Ah Lian.

He really treated her differently, and even bought a hairpin for her......

He hasn't even given himself a hairpin......

Just as she was sad, the hairpin suddenly pinned firmly in her hair.

Ling Xue looked at him in a daze.

Nie Junheng hooked her lips and asked her gently, "Does my sister like it?" ”

"For me?"

"Who else but you?"

She looked at the man in front of her, and her inexplicable feelings spread in Ling Xue's heart, like a slippery little snake, drilling straight into her heart.
