Hotaru watched this scene silently and couldn't help but sigh.

Everything went as she expected, and she slowly understood the reason why Xie Jingyuan hated her so much before, but she was afraid that it was all a misunderstanding, and she had to untie this knot for him!

Over there, the old marquis was so talkative that he helped the original owner up, and asked gently: "Good boy, don't be afraid of me, I won't let them bully you anymore." ”

"Even without them, there will be others." The original owner bowed his head and wept.

Hearing this, the old marquis immediately understood.

It's just to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, not to mention, it's really pitiful to look at her as a weak woman.

The old marquis took her back to the Qinglou, bought her deed of sale, and restored her free body, the original owner was so grateful that he wanted to kneel, but as soon as he moved, he was supported by the old marquis.

The old marquis said: "Eh, there's no need, it's just a gesture." ”

A gesture of effort, but it costs hundreds of taels.

The original owner whispered, "Thank you." ”

With a wave of his hand, the old marquis got into the carriage and left, and the old marquis, who had done a good deed, closed his eyes in a comfortable mood and took a nap.

"Master Hou, it's here."

Outside, the housekeeper said softly, and after helping the old Hou Ye get out of the carriage, he looked back hesitantly: "Hou Ye, the woman is over there." ”

Following the butler's sight, the old marquis looked at the stone lion, and when the original owner saw the old marquis looking over, he hurriedly hid behind, deliberately slowing down his speed to let the other party notice.

Seeing this, the old marquis frowned and said loudly: "Come out." ”

The original owner hesitated for a moment and slowly walked in front of him.

The old marquis asked, "What are you doing here?" Why did you follow us? ”

The original owner knelt down tremblingly, glanced at the house plaque, and said timidly: "Master Hou forgive me, the little woman didn't mean to follow you, it's just that the little woman really has nowhere to go, please take me in, even if it's a little maid, Firefly is willing!" ”

After speaking, regardless of whether the old marquis agreed or disagreed, he kowtowed several times.

Although he pitied her, the old marquis did not agree, but said with a cold face: "Take you in?" What does that have to say? ”

"This ......" The original owner didn't seem to expect to be rejected, and looked at him a little helplessly, but now, she has nothing to do.

She lowered her head and sold pity: "Master Hou, you don't know, if it weren't for the death of my father, I wouldn't have fallen to this point, at least I am still a girl who was pampered and raised, how could I be sold into the Qinglou?" What's more, I don't have a home anymore, Hou Ye is so good to me, I also want to repay Hou Ye, you just let me stay in Hou Mansion. ”

Seeing her so pitiful, the old marquis sighed.

Whenever he wanted to be ruthless and kick away the firefly moon, he always remembered the host's words in his mind, he didn't have many days left, the woman in front of him was so pitiful, why not give her a place to shelter from the wind and rain and do a little more good for Jing Yuan?

The housekeeper seemed to see through his thoughts, and when he saw that he didn't make a sound, he acquiesced, and the housekeeper pulled the original owner: "Come with me." ”

The original owner looked back at the old marquis pitifully, and saw that although he didn't look at her, he didn't refuse.

She hurriedly said happily and gratefully: "Thank you Hou Ye, thank you Hou Ye!" ”

But where did the old Hou Ye know that once he took the original owner into the Hou Mansion, it would cause another bloody storm, not only the gossip of the people outside, but even Xie Jingyuan misunderstood, every time he returned to the house, he looked at him with hateful eyes, and several times he wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain it at all.

Gradually, the old marquis gave up his explanation and included Hotaru in the room.

***

As if waking up from a big dream, Hotaru stared at the roof beam in the house, still a little unable to come back to her senses, and rubbed her sour eyelids.

She's really sorry for Xie Jingyuan! Even if she didn't do those things before, but the original owner, in the eyes of people outside, she did it.

After lying on the bed for a while, she called Chunlan to wash and change her clothes.

Looking at the weather outside, it was drizzling again, which was very consistent with the dream, no wonder the coldness in her dream felt so real.

With an extra coat, she turned her head sideways and asked, "Is Master Hou awake?" ”

Shaking her head slightly, Chunlan squatted down to tidy up the corners of her clothes for her, and said, "Not yet, Xu Shuo said, if the Hou Ye wakes up, he will definitely come to the Shaoguang courtyard first." ”

A slight smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and Hotaru Yue said: "Also, he shouldn't have imagined that he would be put on a table by me, and he must be angry and rush to this side." ”

A new ointment was smeared on the shoulder blades, and the cold feeling dispelled a lot of pain, Chunlan looked at her, and couldn't help but say more: "This ointment is only available to those nobles in the palace, and the Hou Ye saw that Mrs. had a terrible pain in her sleep a few days ago, and she always dreamed, so she specially entered the palace to ask for it, and it was really easy to use." ”

After taking the ointment, Firefly gently stroked the bottle with her thumb: "Really?" ”

He treats her and always gives up everything he has.

"yes."

Chunlan didn't know what she was thinking, she carefully put away the ointment with a smile, turned around to pass the meal, and after a few sips of purple potato porridge, Yingyue was ready to go to Dongyuan to see Xie Jingyuan.

By the way, there are some things she thinks Xie Jingyuan should have the right to know.

As soon as he was about to leave the small courtyard, he saw Xie Jingyuan striding towards Xu Shuo with Xu Shuo, his pace was slightly urgent, and there was a splash of rain, so Yingyue simply stood in place, smiling and watching him approach.

Xie Jingyuan made a calm face and stood still in front of her.

Looking at the rain on his shoulder, Hotaru naturally wiped it for him with a handkerchief: "Are you awake?" Did you sleep well last night? ”

Xu Shuo, who was standing behind Xie Jingyuan, frowned, silently bowed his head as an invisible person, Xie Jingyuan looked at her angrily, grinding his back molars and said, "Okay, it's too good!" ”

Seeing this, Hotaru snorted and couldn't hold back her laughter.

It's so cute!

She thought to herself, covered her mouth and said, "That's good, it's not in vain that my hard work is in vain, and I finally let you have a good rest." ”

Looking at her delicate little appearance, Xie Jingyuan really couldn't get angry at all, and after a while, he broke his work, looked at her helplessly, and said in a low voice: "I'm worried about you." ”

He stretched out his hand and held her little hand, Chun Lan and Xu Shuo glanced at each other, and retreated in a humorous whisper.

Hotaru scratched her cheek embarrassedly, and said, "Then I'm worried about you too." ”

"I'm worried that you haven't slept well, I'm worried that you haven't rested well, and if you continue to take care of me like this, your body won't be able to stand it first, you know?" She looked up at him, and after seeing him all night, his face was really much better when he had slept enough, and she was relieved, and she did not regret her actions at all.
