Qu Tan'er smiled nonchalantly, then leaned toward the center of the mirror, and whispered: "Let me tell you something interesting. People in our area usually kneel easily, and kneeling is sometimes considered unlucky. Do you know why?

?”

"Why?" Jing Xin asked curiously.

"Because... they all kneel to death. Look, does the eldest lady's face look like a coffin face?"

"..." Jing Xin lowered his head and shrugged, a little unable to resist.

Due to the heavy rain, the people standing under the eaves naturally did not hear the conversation between the two.

Qu Jianglin looked at Qu Tan'er, who was kneeling in the rain, expressionlessly. He didn't ask her to get up. He even agreed with the eldest lady's approach on the spot, "Whenever you think about it clearly, get up."

"Let my mother go." Qu Tan'er's eyes swept over the two maids who still caught Mrs. Ninth.

"Come here, send Jiu Fu back to her room. She is not allowed to step out of the room halfway. Anyone who lets her come out will get out of here. Do you hear me clearly?" Qu Jianglin spoke directly.

The next moment, Mrs. Ninth asked her servants to pull her back to the room.

Madam Ninth looked back three times with each step, looking at her beloved daughter in the rain with tearful eyes. The deep feeling of powerlessness made even Qu Tan'er feel extremely sad. Perhaps she had misunderstood Madam Ninth before. It wasn't that Madam Ninth didn't want to protect herself.

However, in the long run, you will understand that when you want to protect yourself, it will often have the opposite effect, and instead make your daughter suffer more for you.

"Keep an eye on her." The eldest lady glared at Qu Tan'er and turned back to the hall.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock...

The sound of water dripping under the eaves was heard once, twice, three times, continuously.

The rain today was not heavy, but the two of them got soaked even without cover. Qu Tan'er was a little lucky that there was no thunder, otherwise, she would have been frightened to death.

She is not too afraid of rain, but she is afraid of thunder and lightning.

If that were the case, she wouldn't be able to hold on for long and would escape back home. Maybe then, Madam Ninth would be the one suffering again.

It's just that the rain is not heavy, but it is also troublesome, because generally the rain that is not heavy will fall for a long time.

"Master, why don't you agree to the eldest lady?" Jing Xin asked softly.

"I can't agree." Qu Tan'er shrank back, feeling a little cold for no reason.

"What are you taking care of, Master?"

"You can't say anything. Although Mo Liancheng and Mo Yihuai seem to be harmonious on the surface, who knows what they have done secretly? If I get involved again, you tell me, what will happen to me?

How's it going? And don't forget what relationship Mo Yihuai and I had." Qu Tan'er said lightly, her shoulders drooped, feeling very weak. She had already known Mo Liancheng's ability, and what he said

What effect it would have, she was not sure.

"Will the prince come to pick up the master?" Jing Xin asked softly.

"I don't know." It would be better not to come.

Qu Tan'er always felt that today's incident was a bit strange.

"I know that Shi Xue will definitely come to the palace to find the prince."

"Why do you always speak for him?" Qu Tan'er showed a hint of dissatisfaction, really wondering if Jing Xin had received any benefits from Mo Liancheng.

"I'm just telling the truth." Jing Xin lowered her head and said nothing.

"Actually, I'm also wondering...will he come?" Qu Tan'er pursed her lips and spoke softly. There was also some confusion in the depths of her eyes.

"What if the prince doesn't come?"

"Then we can only consider ourselves unlucky."

"What if the prince really comes?"
