Hearing this, Xuanyuan Lin's eyes turned cold again. He walked up to Shi Yao and took her hand as she was searching for clothes...
After taking it, Xuanyuan Lin only felt cold. When he lowered his head, he saw that Shi Yao's palm was a little wrinkled because it had been soaked in water for too long.
"Do you often do these things?" Xuanyuan Lin lowered his head, looked at Shi Yao's wrinkled palms, and asked in a low voice, his voice a little deep and muffled.
"I'm a slave, so of course I do it all the time." Shi Yao was a little embarrassed and wanted to take his hand out, but he couldn't get it back.
Xuanyuan Lin lowered his head, and Shi Yao couldn't see his expression, but felt that he slowly rubbed his palm with his thumb, with deep pity...
Shi Yao's heartbeat suddenly became a little fast, but there was a voice in her heart that kept telling her: Don't be tempted, don't be tempted.
"You really can't tell me?" Xuanyuan Lin whispered after a long time.
"What?" Shi Yao was a little distracted, and after hearing the words, he asked doubtfully.
"Who are you? Your past? Why are you here?" Xuanyuan Lin raised his head, looked into Shi Yao's eyes and asked.
"..." Shi Yao was silent.
"Okay, you can't tell me, and I won't ask you any more." Xuanyuan Lin smiled slightly, "I'm leaving now, how long will it take you?"
"Huh?" Shi Yao blinked in confusion. The topic changed a bit too quickly. Shi Yao didn't know what Xuanyuan Lin meant by the last question.
"I'll leave first. How long does it take for you to change clothes? I'll come back to you after you change." Xuanyuan Lin looked at Shi Yao and explained seriously.
"You..." Shi Yao looked at Xuanyuan Lin, as if he didn't know how to answer.
"Don't let me leave, I won't leave." Xuanyuan Lin looked determined.
"Why are you bothering? I told you, I'm not the woman you're looking for..." Shi Yao looked embarrassed.
"How about time to count to a hundred? After counting to a hundred, I'll be back. You hurry up, I'll go out first." Xuanyuan Lin interrupted Shi Yao with a smile, and then left from the window in a flash.
.
Shi Yao was a little dazed at first, then suddenly woke up, quickly grabbed the clothes in the closet, and went behind the screen to change clothes.
After she finished changing and came out from behind the screen, she heard a sound from the window and Xuanyuan Lin appeared again, just in time.
"Sir, what do you want to do?" Shi Yao looked helpless.
"Call me Lin." Xuanyuan Lin answered the question inappropriately.
"..." Shi Yao suddenly became speechless, paused, and then said, "It's up to you."
After saying that, Shi Yao sat on the embroidery bench, took out a sewing basket, and started embroidering.
What she was embroidering was a robe, and it belonged to a man.
Xuanyuan Lin narrowed his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask: "Who is that dress for?"
"It's for a guard in the mansion." Shi Yao replied without raising his head.
Xuanyuan Lin's expression suddenly turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice: "Why do you need to embroider the guards' clothes?"
"There are only a limited number of embroiderers in the house, and these days they are busy making clothes, quilts and other supplies for the little master who is about to be born, so we also help." Shi Yao replied while threading the needle.
Xuanyuan Lin's expression became even colder, and his words were even more cold: "When did Prince Kang's Mansion become so poor?"
"..." Shi Yao raised his head and glanced at Xuanyuan Lin, without answering, and then continued working.
"Stop it." Xuanyuan Lin stepped forward and took out the clothes in Shi Yao's hands with a cold face.
