Faced with Jiao Shun's invitation, which was not considered a prestige or not, Miaoyu naturally did not make any response.

Jingyi wanted to smooth things over, but it was obvious that Jiao Shun couldn't wait for Miaoyu's response, so he went back to eating and drinking, so she wisely closed her mouth.

So the master and the servant just froze in front of the door.

Jingyi glanced at Jiao Shun for a while, then turned her head to look at her own lady, hoping in her heart that one of the two could break the deadlock - preferably her own lady.

But her expectations obviously couldn't come true.

Miaoyu lowered her neck and closed her eyebrows slightly. She looked like a clay-embedded wood sculpture with no ripples at all. However, the pair of catkins hidden in the big sleeves of her broad robe had already been clenched so tightly that her nails were embedded in her flesh.

My heart is shaking even more!

Although she was self-righteous and indolent, she was by no means a fool. When she saw Jiao Shun's sudden appearance, combined with the recent behavior of Second Sister You, she didn't know that this was a desperate attempt to force her to decide between moving out and staying.

'Choose between '?

If it had been more than two months ago, when she had just been kicked out of Rongguo Mansion, she would have made a bitter and harsh mockery of Jiao Shun as soon as she saw him, and then walked away proudly.

If it were a month ago, when she had just started eating and not having her next meal, she would probably grit her teeth and walk away without saying a word.

If it were more than ten days ago, when she had just experienced that nightmare-like betrayal, she might have had a hysterical conflict with Jiao Shun, and finally left with hatred.

However, after several days in a row, after rapidly and repeatedly switching between prosperity and wealth, hunger and cold, cleanliness and filth, the silence she felt now was the most courageous thing she could do.

A tough attitude.

As for leaving voluntarily...

Not to mention taking any action, as long as you think about it for a moment, what you saw and heard when you entered the ruined temple to clean up a few days ago will immediately appear in Miaoyu's mind in exaggeration a hundred times.

It was obviously just a pool of filth, but it was magnified infinitely in her mind, creating a horrific scene of a pool of excrement surrounded by walls of dirt.

It seems that if you take just one step, you will fall into endless hell!

In contrast, naturally, this small courtyard is filled with clean, elegant, leisurely and comfortable atmosphere through her clever decoration, and her luxurious life where she never gets tired of fine food and fine food.

Although the appearance of Jiao Shun turned everything into honey covered with arsenic, compared with the filthy hell where people were hungry and cold, even the deadly poison became less terrifying.

However, even if the scales in her heart have tilted one-sided, it is absolutely impossible for Miaoyu, who is obsessed with saving face and suffering, to make a choice on her own initiative.

Being silent like this now was the biggest compromise she could make after mustering up the courage.

And just when she couldn't figure out whether she was responding forcefully or silently compromising, Jiao Shun was already half full, put down his chopsticks and told Jingyi: "Bring me the mouthwash tea.

"

He is so confident and confident, just like the male head of the family.

Jingyi glanced at Miaoyu subconsciously, and saw that her young lady had no reaction at all. After a slight hesitation, she quickly made strong tea with hot water, first put a few pieces of green salt in it, and then quickly cooled it with ice cubes.

Bring it to Jiao Shun's mouth.

Jiao Shun took a mouthful and muttered in his mouth. Jingyi didn't wait for his instructions, and took out the saliva bowl and towel, uncovered the small basin filled with water, waited for Jiao Shun to spit out the mouthwash, and wet the towel again.

He wiped his mouth and hands.

After the whole set of services was completed, Jiao Shun stood up and stretched his muscles with satisfaction and said: "It's getting late, you..."

He stopped speaking meaningfully halfway through the sentence and looked up and down at Miaoyu playfully.

Although Miaoyu lowered her head and neck, she immediately felt the teasing in Jiao Shun's words and the aggressive gaze.

Her delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and she subconsciously took a small step back.

But it's just a small step.

After all, in Miaoyu's fantasy, what lies behind is not some quiet courtyard shrouded in the sunset, but the extremely filthy Abi Hell!

This made it impossible for her to take another step forward no matter what.

At this time, I heard Jiao Shun continue: "You should be tired too. Take a rest early."

With that said, he walked straight out.

When Miaoyu heard this, she was startled at first, and then her heart was filled with the ecstasy of being saved from a desperate situation.

However, when he passed by her, Jiao Shun suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked with a smile: "Is it really so difficult to clean the small temple?"

After saying that, without waiting for Miaoyu to answer, he went out and walked away.

Just now, Miaoyu was so ecstatic when she heard that he was leaving, and she felt so ashamed and angry after hearing these words.

As Jiao Shun walked out of the hospital, she also gritted her teeth and entered the inner bedroom in three steps at a time. Then large tears burst out unsatisfactorily, sliding down her smooth cheeks like curdled milk.

It fell to the ground with drops.

Just like this, a full quarter of an hour passed, and the feeling of humiliation subsided slightly.

At the same time, what emerged from the bottom of Miaoyu's heart was the strong urge to leave!

She could see clearly that although Jiao Shun did not show his fangs today, it was not because Jiao Shun was a gentleman who observed etiquette - if he were a gentleman, he would not appear here rashly and act like he was taking over the guests.

.

The reason why this man pulled away instead of directly threatening her was because he thought he had trapped her with an invisible net, so he chose a more flexible approach and waited until she was unable to struggle and let him prey on her.

But it's very easy to break through this trap, as long as you are willing to move back there...

As soon as she thought of this, the picture of filthy hell appeared in front of her eyes, which made Miaoyu subconsciously want to gag, but her empty stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

At this time Jingyi walked in from outside and advised: "Senior sister, you should use some rice first. I have already picked out all the vegetables that Mr. Jiao has not touched much."

Miaoyu hesitated for a while, but still shook her head.

Although she couldn't make up her mind to break through the trap, she still had the courage not to eat what came her way - at least she still had it now.

Jingyi tried to persuade her a few more times, but seeing that she remained unmoved, she had no choice but to go outside and fill her stomach.

When the You family's maids came over to clear away the dishes, Jingyi discovered that they did not bring hot water, towels, perfume, etc. for bathing as they did in the past.

Facing Jingyi's questions, several maids just shook their heads in response.

Jingyi seemed to understand something, and with a grimace she wanted to go to Miaoyu to discuss countermeasures, but after thinking about it, she didn't know what to say - should she persuade her young lady to learn from the You sisters and cook for the sake of rich clothing and food?

A nameless and lowly person?

A sleepless night.

When Jingyi got up with dark circles under her eyes the next day, she found that all the utensils used for washing in the morning were gone. Fortunately, there was a well in the courtyard, so she barely managed to carry half a bucket of water, which somehow managed to fool her.

When it was time for breakfast, the maids brought four soups directly.

It didn't matter if they were not hungry, but the most important thing was that they couldn't carry it, so at noon that day, the master and the servant had to endure it on an empty stomach.

Jingyi just paid it back, but Miaoyu hadn't eaten seriously since last night. At the end of the day, she was so hungry that her eyes were filled with stars, and she once again recalled the hungry scene in this ruined temple.

What frightened the two of them even more was that when it was time to return to You's house, the mute coachman never showed up!

The two of them first waited in the yard, then went to wait in front of the door, and finally waited at the entrance of the alley.

I waited with longing eyes until the sun went down, and then I saw the familiar carriage slowly approaching.

At this moment, not only Jingyi happily stepped forward to greet him, but even Miaoyu unconsciously opened her legs - but after taking five or six steps, she stopped hurriedly and reservedly.

After getting on the carriage, the joy of regaining something gradually disappeared from Miaoyu's heart, followed by a feeling of uneasiness like sitting on pins and needles.

What will Jiao Shun do today?

Will you leave right after eating like yesterday?

Own……

Should we refuse the leftovers he left behind?

Jingyi saw her young lady's restlessness, so she considered it and said, "Senior sister, how about we take the initiative and ask Jiao...to ask Miss Xing to borrow some money and take the boat back to the south."

How could Jiao Shun let him go so easily after he had put so much thought into it?

Miaoyu smiled bitterly, but she did not deny Jingyi's words. She would not take the initiative to ask for trouble, but she was not opposed to letting Jingyi try her luck. What if Jiao Shun really agreed?

There was no more words to say on the way.

During the day, Miaoyu missed the luxurious life in You's courtyard almost all the time, but when she returned to the courtyard and looked at the open living room door, she couldn't help but feel fear.

So much so that in the short dozen steps from the courtyard entrance to the eaves, she led Jingyi for a full quarter of an hour.

When one leg finally and tremblingly crossed the threshold, Miaoyu was shocked to find that the living room was empty. Except for a table of sumptuous delicacies that were both delicious and delicious, there was nothing 'superfluous'.

Jingyi was stunned when she saw this scene, and immediately rushed across the threshold and rushed into the inner room in three steps and two steps at a time. After a while, she returned to the living room like a whirlwind, shook her head and said: "Master Jiao is not here after all!"

Miaoyu was so relieved that she almost collapsed in front of the door.

In the end, it was the smell of the food that gave her strength again, and she quickly walked to the table and picked up the chopsticks tremblingly.

When half a piece of vegetarian fish was brought into her mouth with chopsticks and chewed gently, she felt as if she had gone to the Western Paradise again.

As the saying goes: When you are hungry, eating chaff is as sweet as honey.

She had indeed experienced this feeling more than once when she was in the ruined temple, but the feeling of eating 'honey' after being extremely hungry was undoubtedly a hundred times better than eating chaff!

So much so that a look of intoxication inevitably appeared on her pretty face, which was always used to concealing her emotions.

But at this moment...

"Hey, have you eaten everything?"

Jiao Shun's voice sounded like a demon outside the door. Miaoyu stretched out her chopsticks to the second piece of vegetarian fish and froze in mid-air.

Jiao Shun walked in carelessly, sat down directly next to Miaoyu, and then ordered to Jingyi: "Hurry up and get the bowls and chopsticks."

Jingyi hesitated for a moment, then obediently brought the bowls and chopsticks, and filled Jiao Shun's glass with fruit wine.

Jiao Shun picked up his chopsticks, and naturally picked up two pieces of vegetarian chicken for Miaoyu, and said with a smile: "Why are you so stupid? Eat, eat, eat. Your illness is getting better. It's time to replenish it."

Miaoyu was hesitating whether to drop her chopsticks and seek justice for yesterday's humiliation, but she felt so empty that she couldn't hold on to her anger.

Now faced with his "familiar" attitude, I don't know what to do.

Seeing this, Jingyi hurriedly advised her: "Senior sister, you should eat some, otherwise how can you survive the night?"

With that said, he refilled the glass of wine for Jiao Shun, and took the opportunity to cautiously bring up the idea of ​​traveling south for travel expenses.

Jiao Shun listened without comment, ate a few mouthfuls of food, drank two glasses of wine, and then said slowly: "It's easy to talk about the money, but even though it's a peaceful time, if you two young and beautiful women want to travel thousands of miles alone, But I’m afraid it’s not appropriate.”

The money has been borrowed, why can't we send someone to give me a ride?

Jingyi cursed in her heart, but she also understood that Jiao Shun was politely refusing, so she simply shut her mouth and didn't speak again.

Although Miaoyu had no hope at all, it was obvious that Jingyi had indeed hit a snag, but she could not help but feel depressed.

At this time, Jiao Shun urged her to eat again. Miaoyu wanted to refuse, but her stomach and intestines, which had just tasted the delicious food, began to rebel.???

Under the impact of that intense hunger that was stronger than this one, Miaoyu asked herself that even if she could barely bear it now, she might not be able to escape the leftovers after Jiao Shun left, so she bit her silver teeth and simply started eating again, but She never touched the vegetarian chicken that Jiao Shun gave her.

Jiao Shun followed her, and the two of them immersed themselves in eating and drinking. Next to them, Jingyi was responsible for pouring tea and wine. If he was caught by someone who didn't know where he was, he would probably think that the two masters and the servant were having a meal at this time.

After eating and drinking this time, Jiao Shun did not get up and leave like yesterday. Instead, he lazily lay down on the Arhat bed outside, and asked his legs to be beat, and then asked to serve tea, until he ordered Jingyi to be round. .

As the sky gets darker, Miaoyu becomes increasingly uneasy.

I secretly looked at Jiao Shun several times, hoping that he would leave like yesterday - even if he had to humiliate himself before leaving.

However, Jiao Shun waited leisurely until three poles above the moon, then suddenly said: "Go and ask the maid to bring the bath water."

When Jingyi, who was squeezing his shoulders, heard this, she immediately looked at her young lady in embarrassment.

Miaoyu, on the other hand, was so embarrassed and angry that she pushed herself up and yelled, "Don't push yourself too far!"

After she finished speaking, her heart was beating wildly, fearing that Jiao Shun would get angry or kick her out of You's house.

However, Jiao Shun let out a "tsk" sound, then slowly got up and walked out.

That night.

Of course, the bath water was never delivered.

But the meal the next morning was surprisingly rich.

Jingyi came to a conclusion from this: "Senior sister had dinner with Mr. Jiao last night, so we had breakfast. Doesn't that mean that we can only take a shower if Mr. Jiao is here...?"

After listening to Jingyi's analysis, Miaoyu gritted her teeth and tried her best to muster the courage to break through the trap!

Then……
Chapter completed!
