Chapter 231: Childhood Sweetheart
Hearing An Ruyi's cold questioning, the subordinates all lowered their heads, for fear that they would be punished by him.
A little guy took a step forward nervously and said, "Lord Hui'an, Miss was fine today, but then two girls came to the store, and I had to see Miss." ”
An Ruyi looked at the little guy: "Then?"
The little girl lowered her head and continued: "Originally, we didn't let them see Miss, after all, we were afraid that someone would come to find trouble, but one of the girls said that she wanted to hear Miss's piano skills very much, and she played a song in the store, and Miss listened to it in the backyard It was really good, and then let her go to meet alone......"
After speaking, the little girl's tone slowly weakened, he looked up at An Ruyi, and then met An Ruyi's deep eyes, and he was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground.
"It's not good for the little one, the little one didn't look at them, and then I don't know what she said to the young lady, and the two seemed to have an argument, and then the young lady called us in and drove the girl out. What else did the young lady say begging her not to bother......"
They were very close to each other at the time, so it was not very clear what they were saying, but it was evident that the young lady did not like the girl very much.
When he finished speaking, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
An Ruyi asked, "Who are those two women?"
The little guy said: "One of the girls looks a little familiar, and the other has a raw face, but they are called sisters, and they don't look like ordinary girls when they are dressed, and the other villains are unknown." ”
Although he knew the whole story, he didn't know what the two women and what they said to Xi'er, and An Ruyi's frowning brows still didn't open.
He turned around and left a sentence: "Go down and get the ten boards." ”
The little guy who knelt on the ground didn't dare to say a word of complaint, because these ten boards were already extraordinarily tolerant, and he was still very content compared to those who made mistakes before.
After listening to what the little girl said, An Ruyi pondered for a long time, after all, there are really too few things that can make Liu Xi'er angry like this, if it was because of him who came to trouble Liu Xi'er, such things are not impossible, but last time she said lightly that she didn't mind.
It seems that I can only ask her after Xi'er wakes up.
It just so happened that Aunt Yue went outside the city in the past few days and was not in the store, otherwise there would not have been such a thing.
He walked into the room lightly and looked at Liu Xi'er lying on the bed, feeling a little guilty in his heart.
He really wants to marry her home, but now is not the time, after all, the current An family is like a tiger's den in Longtan, and there are many people against him.
Until these obstacles are cleared, he will not let Liu Xi'er be hurt again.
His eyes suddenly turned cold.
Shen Yanshu and Ni Wan returned to Ni's mansion, because of what happened in the jewelry store, Ni Wan was depressed, but with Shen Yanshu there, she was embarrassed to show loss, just chuckled when all this had not happened.
"Thank you, Sister Wan, today. Shen Yanshu said.
Ni Wan said: "What a family says thank you, this is too out-of-the-box." But you were also scared today, right? An Minglan has always been arrogant and domineering, and even the children of senior executives in Lin'an City rarely dare to provoke her. ”
Shen Yanshu nodded as if he didn't understand: "Is it because Taishi An is like this on weekdays, so no one can control her?"
Ni Wan said: "It is rumored that Master An is extremely cunning, and she has harmed a lot of people over the years, and her daughter's arrogance is naturally a good example." ”
Shen Yanshu's eyes flashed slightly, but he felt that he didn't answer again.
Although the Ni family is rich, it can't change the fact that the merchant has a low status, and if it is against the official family, it will definitely not be enough to confront it.
Just like the Xiao family, although they have a lot of influence in the Great Zhou, if there is no one in the court, I am afraid that they can only be kneaded by others......
Ni Wan said: "Actually, in Lin'an City, there are not many unruly young ladies like her, most of the young ladies of the family are still very good, you don't have to worry about who to cause when you go out, just see her again and take a detour." ”
Shen Yanshu nodded.
The two of them were talking, and they had already walked back to the courtyard.
Ni Wan sent her back to Beishang Courtyard and then went back to her yard, today the two of them walked around the street, but they were very tired.
Looking at the figure of Ni Wan leaving, Shen Yanshu's face suddenly became a little worried, she got up and walked towards Huo Shu's room, pushed open the door, but it was empty.
"Miss, are you looking for Guard Huo?" a maid stepped forward and said, "Guard Huo doesn't seem to have come back." ”
Shen Yanshu sighed lightly when he heard the maid say this.
Hearing his daughter's evaluation of himself, he will blame himself for being guilty all the time, right? Even a hot-blooded man who has been on the battlefield for many years to take care of life and death, there will be those softness in his heart that cannot be touched.
She nodded, and could only continue to wait for him to return.
Back in his room, Ah Qi stepped forward and asked Shen Yanshu, "Is Uncle Huo unhappy?"
Shen Yanshu said: "Just let him be quiet." ”
Although Liu Xi'er unceremoniously said that she asked Shen Yanshu not to go to her again, it was impossible for her Shen Yanshu to give up for the sake of Huo Kill.
It's just that it takes time for them all to calm down, maybe Liu Xi'er will be able to accept Huo killing.
Shen Yanshu thought for a while, and then said to Ah Qi: "Let people look at the tea house, if Liu Yue comes back, remember to report it." ”
Ah Qi said: "Okay." ”
With that, he walked out and flipped out of the wall.
Shen Yanshu sat on the stool, thinking of Huo Shu, who was in a nervous mood last night but had become lost today, although she felt distressed in her heart, there was no way for her to let go.
———
On the second day, cherish the tea house.
When Liu Xi'er woke up, the sky was already bright, and the sunlight outside made her seem to have a feeling of a dream.
She just wanted to get up, but when she turned her head, she saw An Ruyi sitting in the room looking at the official document.
"Ruyi. She called softly, her voice low because her voice was a little hoarse, and the words that came out seemed to disappear into thin air.
An Ruyi heard the movement, turned his head and saw that Liu Xi'er on the bed in the curtain had woken up, he hurriedly put down the things in his hand, got up and entered the inner room.
Liu Xi'er just wanted to get up, but was supported by An Ruyi and said, "The doctor said that you need to recuperate more." ”
"What's wrong with me. Liu Xi'er was a little dazed, she remembered that after she let the girl leave, she seemed to have fainted...... But how could An Ruyi be here, "Didn't you want the third prince to hunt today?"
An Ruyi said: "You, you've slept for a day, that was yesterday." ”
Liu Xi'er was stunned, she slept for a day?
An Ruyi looked at her blank appearance and asked, "What the hell is going on?
Hearing her say this, Liu Xi'er frowned slightly.
But she shook her head: "No, I'm fine, and no one embarrasses me." ”
An Ruyi continued to ask, "Then why are you so angry after those two women came yesterday?"
Even in her sleep, she was muttering, as if she was having a nightmare, and even tears came out.
Liu Xi'er lowered her eyes: "Don't ask, there's nothing to ask." ”
An Ruyi's deep eyes were filled with a trace of ripples, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't say anything.
He and Liu Xi'er are neighbors who grew up together since childhood, and they are childhood sweethearts.
When Liu Xi'er was seven years old, she came to Lin'an City with her mother and lived next door to their house.
A woman with a child seems to endure such criticism and being bullied, and Liu Xi'er later became the same existence as him.
When he first met Liu Xi'er, she was a person who was full of fear around her, she didn't like to talk, she just kept hiding behind her mother and looked at others timidly, but she was so good-looking, and other boys always tried their best to tease her and wanted to get close to her.
An Ruyi feels unfair, she is also living with her mother, and she is the same person without a father, why should she bear so much?
So he always bullied Liu Xi'er, even when she walked, he would go over and kick her, making her fall to the ground in embarrassment, and then laughing behind him.
saw her washing clothes in the yard, and splashed her with water, so that she was scolded by Liu Yue.
But she never explained, and she didn't retaliate, which made him even angrier.
So he intensified it.
The boys around all want to play with her, but the girls in the neighborhood hate Liu Xi'er very much, because of the development of the Daqi folk customs, women have never been too restrained, and gentle women like Liu Xi'er and Liu Yue are rare.
Seeing others bullying Liu Xi'er, he was very angry for some reason, so he helped Liu Xi'er beat up those who were annoying.
Liu Xi'er asked him why he wanted to help himself, and he said, "Only I can bully you." ”
It's just that after saying this, Liu Xi'er suddenly laughed.
That was the first time he saw Liu Xi'er smiling, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she was exceptionally good-looking.
Later, he learned that he was the illegitimate son of the Taishi, and his father also knew of his existence.
The father, who was a Taishi, intended to cultivate himself, but he didn't expect that the illegitimate son he cultivated would actually kill his eldest son, which is really ridiculous.
Liu Yue is not a simple woman, although she took a daughter to live alone, but she soon gained a firm foothold in Lin'an City.
Their lives seem to be getting better and better, but in fact, they are even more dangerous, there are many people staring at him, and there are people who want him to die everywhere, only Liu Xi'er can understand him and support him.
Now that he saw Liu Xi'er's tired appearance and didn't want to mention it again, An Ruyi didn't ask much, and ordered his subordinates to prepare porridge and meals.
