"You're not really leaving Zhongli Mansion, are you?"
"If she really leaves, we all have to raise our heads to see the head of the family."
"Look quickly, we must find Miss Fifth."
"Steward, in front of you is Mr. Jing's courtyard. Do we want to go in and search?" A guard pointed to the quiet courtyard in front.
The housekeeper looked at the peaceful courtyard in front of him and snorted coldly: "Why don't you look for him? He is just the son of a guilty minister. Now he is just living under the shelter of Zhongli's family."
"Yes!" After listening to the steward's words, the guards went to the quiet courtyard one after another.
Helian Jingce looked at those people coldly.
He took Fu Manman and stood on a tree not far away, watching those people break into the yard where he lived.
At this moment, the clouds dispersed and the bright moonlight shone on the earth.
It illuminated the quiet courtyard, and a faint afterglow leaked through the leaves, falling on Helian Jingce's face.
Fu Manman looked at his face, his cold face, his eyes were filled with coldness, and his whole person seemed to be stained with ice.
It's so cold that people want to stay away.
This is the wealthy life he wants, living without human rights, being despised and ignored by others.
If you betray her, you will get this kind of life!
Haha... Fu Manman sneered inwardly.
After a while, the group of guards came out, obviously finding nothing.
After everyone left, Helian Jingce took Fu Manman into the courtyard where he lived.
The courtyard was quiet, and no one seemed to be waiting.
Entering the room, there was candlelight and a brazier.
It’s such a hot day. Let’s get a brazier. It’s not too hot!
"You'd better take me back!" Fu Manman wanted to go back.
"Your shoes and socks are all wet. You'd better dry them before going back!" He asked Fu Manman to sit on the chair, and he went to bring a brazier over and let Fu Manman warm himself up by the fire.
"It's hot. If it gets wet, it gets wet. It doesn't matter." Fu Manman didn't want to stay here any longer.
"If you go back now, they will be suspicious if they see you in such a mess." Helian Jingce sat Fu Manman on the chair, then squatted in front of her and took off her shoes and socks.
"I'll do it myself." Fu Manman pushed him away.
"Manman, do you want to know where An An is?" Helian Jingce asked.
Fu Manman stopped pushing him away and asked excitedly, "You know?"
"Yeah!" Helian Jingce carefully took off his full set of shoes and socks, which were all soaked.
It seems that my Qinggong is still not good enough!
"I'll get some water and wash your feet." Helian Jingce said.
"You'd better tell me where An An is first," Fu Manman said.
She didn't call out to Helian Jingce, he still went to fetch water.
While he was away, Fu Manman took a look at the room. The furnishings were very simple. It seemed that he was really dependent on others in this mansion.
Thinking about the contempt and ridicule that the housekeeper showed to him today, Fu Manman felt slightly choked up in his heart. There was no one waiting in the yard, and he had to boil hot water himself.
There was also the poison he was poisoned. He was a healthy person who had been well fed and nourished by himself, but when he came here, he was devastated by the poison and looked extremely weak.
hateful!
These people are really hateful!
Fu Manman clenched his fists and suddenly thought about why she was still protecting him!
He is no longer her brother, and there is no need for her to protect him.
After a while, Helian Jingce came with hot water, and the temperature was just right.
He squatted in front of Fu Manman and asked her to wash her feet.
Her feet are now healed, with no redness, swelling, frostbite, or cracks.
Thinking of the days when they were escaping from famine, they soaked their feet together. Everyone’s feet were covered in scars. After soaking their feet, Manman would take out white ointment and apply it on them.
When he thought of those days, Helian Jingce's heart tightened and he felt uncomfortable. Although those days were painful, they were the happiest and happiest days he had ever lived.
Can you never go back?
"Manman, I'll wipe your feet." Helian Jingce lowered his head and said with red eyes.
"No, men and women cannot be intimate." Fu Manman took a towel and wiped his feet.
"Manman, you are the one who doesn't care about these etiquette the least. Besides, we used to soak our feet together and sleep under the same quilt." Helian Jingce said.
"That's enough. I treated you as my biological brother then, but now you are just an irrelevant person." Fu Manman said coldly.
"Tell me, where is An'an?" Fu Manman sat cross-legged on a chair and asked coldly.
Helian Jingce's heart was bleeding. He was an irrelevant person, but Manman still didn't want him. She really didn't want him.
If this is the case, he will be completely alone in this world. Even if he captures Xizhou, what's the point? What's the point of revenge.
"Are you going to lie to me again, Helian Jingce, I've tolerated you for a long time, if you don't say anything, I..." Fu Manman got angry, and this guy kept his head down and didn't speak.
"Manman, please kill me!" Helian Jingce suddenly raised his head and looked at Fu Manman with wet eyes.
Under the candlelight, a few tears slipped down silently from his jade-white face.
Drop by drop like broken beads.
Fu Manman frowned slightly, and his heart tightened.
"Why are you crying?" Fu Manman's voice was a little softer.
"I regret it. I shouldn't have left in the first place. I shouldn't have left you all. Manman, don't let me go. If you don't let me go, I will be nothing." Helian Jingce hugged Fu Manman's waist.
, buried his head in Fu Manman's arms, and sobbed softly.
…
Fu Manman was a little confused and cried! He really cried! He also cried very sadly. It is said that men don’t shed tears easily. Why did he cry just because he said he was crying!
What's the use of regret, she will never forgive anyone who betrayed her.
"There is no regret medicine in this world. I will never forgive you. Come on, don't force me to do it." Fu Manman said coldly.
Helian Jingce hugged him tightly and refused to let go. He was afraid that if he let go, he would leave without looking back.
You’re not letting it go yet, are you?
Fu Manman grabbed his arm and threw him hard, causing him to fly out and hit the wooden table.
Helian Jingce got up from the ground, covered his chest with one hand and vomited blood, but he was very happy in his heart. Manman finally hit him, so that her anger would subside a little.
Fu Manman walked barefoot in front of Helian Jingce, stretched out his hand to hold his chin, and said in a cold tone: "Where is An'an?"
"In Hualang, do you still remember the tattoo on Aji's arm? It was the tattoo of the Hualang royal family. I accidentally learned that the king of Hualang was looking for his beloved concubine and his beloved concubine's twins, and one of them had this tattoo.
clues."
"You knew this a long time ago?" Fu Manman wanted to strangle him to death.
Helian Jingce coughed several times and said, "I didn't know until I entered Zhongli's house that this was a secret. People from Zhongli's family were also looking for the Aji siblings. I was one step ahead of them."
"So you asked someone to notify Hualang and send An An and Aji to Hualang?" Fu Manman said.
