Afraid of being discovered, she had already woken up, and when she noticed his touch, she quickly closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep, secretly listening to his own words.

"I've never liked her, I just want to force her to do it in this way, so as to get evidence to prove that she is the culprit behind all this, but I never thought that you would be wronged, you even dared to beat Ning Shuyao at the beginning, how did I know that you would be angry with that maid named Xiangmei?"

He whispered, full of guilt and chagrin.

Continuing to talk to himself, Xie Jingyuan continued: "However, don't worry, there won't be a next time." In any case, as long as I am in the Houfu for a day, no one will dare to shake your position. ”

The tone was full of firmness.

After finishing speaking, he persuaded Hotaru Yue in a very light voice, "You...... If you are gone, go home. Sleeping outside like something to say. ”

"Tick-" With a sound, Hotaru Yue only felt a hole suddenly open in her heart, and the warm current surged in, and the hand holding the corner couldn't help but tighten.

Secretly hooking her lips, she noticed Xie Jingyuan's approach, so she hurriedly took it back.

felt that Xie Jingyuan seemed to be covering the quilt for her, pulling it up slightly, and his long hair was also pushed aside by his gentle big hand, and then he heard Xie Jingyuan's footsteps getting up and leaving.

After waiting for a while to make sure that he should have left, Hotaru Yue slowly opened her eyes, got up and looked over suddenly, but when she saw Xie Jingyuan, who was as blindfolded as her, she was stunned at the same time.

Finding that Xie Jingyuan was still in front of him, and he was found out pretending to be asleep, Hotaru couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"You ......"

Coming back to his senses, Xie Jingyuan looked at Yingyue, who suddenly woke up, and thought that she had heard what she had just said, and instantly blushed in panic.

Fortunately, there were no lights at night, so no one could see anyone.

Pretending to be casual, she brushed off the emanation next to her ear, and Hotaru looked up at him innocently and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Hearing her ask, Xie Jingyuan seemed to be choked and coughed a few times: "You...... Really don't recognize the bed? Do you want to go home and sleep? ”

didn't answer Hotaru Yue's question directly, Xie Jingyuan asked her with a hint of caution.

Hotaru couldn't help but sneer: "Home? You say Hou Mansion? ”

After a pause, he said, "It's your home, but it's not mine." ”

There was a hint of warmth in his tone.

She had already wanted to move out of the Hou Mansion, but it wasn't something that Xie Jingyuan could coax back with just a few words.

Through the moonlight sneaking in through the window, Xie Jingyuan saw her bulging cheeks: "You really won't come back?" ”

She didn't answer, Xie Jingyuan was a little anxious.

Walking forward, he sat down in front of her, frowned and said, "Since you have heard what I just said, why are you still entangled in Ning Fengyue's affairs and refuse to go back to the house......

He thought that the words had already been said at this point, and Hotaru Yue would definitely return to the Hou Mansion with him.

But unexpectedly, Hotaru still insisted!

Glancing at Xie Jingyuan, she said seriously: "Some things should not be confused, as for the status of relying on others, it is not your own after all." ”

She is an independent woman, so she can only rely on herself for everything, and she will not return to the Hou Mansion in the short term.

Xie Jingyuan couldn't quite understand Yingyue's thoughts, he only wanted to let Yingyue go home at first, but seeing that she had made up her mind, he took out a title deed and stepped back: "Since you don't want to go back, I won't force you, this house is the only one I can help you, and it will be easier for you to live in." ”

"You still don't get it? I've moved out of the Hou Mansion, so I don't want to rely on you anymore, and you don't need to take care of me anymore. ”

Looking at the title deed that was handed to her, Hotaru sighed softly and shook her head.

He still didn't understand what she meant!

Moreover, can you stop being so good to her, she is really afraid that she will fall and will not be able to get out of the trap named Xie Jingyuan.

She suppressed the voice in her heart, and didn't let her continue to hold those unrealistic thoughts.

Looking at her resolute eyes, it seemed that she was really determined to dissociate herself from herself, Xie Jingyuan's hand holding the title deed slowly tightened.

"Okay."

His eyes darkened, Xie Jingyuan took a deep look at her, and turned away lonely.

Looking at his departing back, Hotaru slowly reached out to cover her heart, and let her slowly fall back to the bed with a tingling pain.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

***

"Ahh

The next day, a scream pierced the entire Taishi Mansion.

Hatatsuki, who had only slept a little at dawn, was woken up, and hurriedly lifted the bed veil and ran out: "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”

Just went out and almost collided with Chunlan.

Chunlan was also a little scared and grabbed Firefly's forearm and said, "I don't know, do you want the slave to go out and have a look?" ”

Gently patting Chunlan on the back soothingly, Yingyue looked at the maids and grandmothers who were hurriedly passing by outside the courtyard and said, "Don't be afraid, let's go and take a look together." We are very close to Ning Fengyue's small courtyard here, and looking at the direction they are rushing to, it should be that something happened to Ning Fengyue's side. ”

She analyzed, a little puzzled, what kind of demon Ning Fengyue was doing early in the morning?

Could it be that something happened to Xiangmei?

Thinking of this, Hotaru Yue quickened her pace a little anxiously, and Chunlan helped her and hurried to the small courtyard next door at her speed.

As soon as I entered, I saw that everyone was blocking outside the side room.

"What's going on?"

Raising her voice, Hotaru asked as she squeezed in.

When the maids and grandmothers saw that it was her, they all made a way and let her go to the forefront smoothly.

Chunlan took the first step to see the scene in the house, and hurriedly covered Yingyue's eyes and stepped back: "Madam, close your eyes!" ”

Before he could see what was going on, Hotaru was blocked from view, and inexplicably ripped off Chunlan's hand and complained, "Chunlan, what are you doing?" ”

With that, he looked inside.

Chunlan couldn't stop it even if she wanted to, and at a glance, Yingyue saw Xiangmei lying on the bed, without any blood on her face, bleeding from her seven orifices!

She ...... She's dead! ”

There was also a little girl fainting next to her, who should have been the first to find out about Xiangmei's death before she screamed and fainted.

With a frown, Hotaru pulled Chunlan's hand away and walked up.

"Madame, don't go over!" Chunlan said anxiously.

Such a bloody scene, whether it is a maid or a grandmother, is the first time to meet it, and they are all frightened for a long time.

Only Hotaru stepped forward boldly, squatting down and taking a closer look at Xiangmei's corpse.

I just sent people back yesterday, and today I died in the Taishi's Mansion.

No matter how you look at this, I think it has something to do with Ning Fengyue!

"What's going on? Did you see her dead when you came? ”
