When Yin Xiao'e pushed Chu Xianping away and repeated her attitude a little coldly, the latter's excitement slowly froze on his face.
"Xiao'e, believe me, I will never let you be wronged!"
Chu Xianping hurriedly promised: "I can't beat him Guo Yunjin, but even if I risk my life, I will definitely protect you!"
"I am a practitioner, and I also worked as a clerk in the Xuanjing Division. As long as we can survive this initial period, we will definitely live a good life in the future!"
"after?"
Yin Xiao'e looked at Chu Xianping calmly, and asked a little funny: "What can you promise me?"
"me......"
Chu Xianping hurriedly took out a banknote from his chest and stuffed it into the woman's hand: "Look! I have saved so much money! It's enough for us to settle down in Anzhou!"
Ruitong Bank, three hundred taels of silver.
This is all Chu Xianping’s savings from working in the Xuanjing Division for so many years.
In fact, this amount is quite a lot. Ordinary people probably would not be able to save such a large amount of money in their lifetime.
However, Yin Xiao'e just glanced at it and immediately threw the banknote to the ground with disdain.
"Xiao'e! You!"
Chu Xianping had never seen Yin Xiao'e look like this before, and was stunned for a moment.
Then a sneer sounded in his ears.
"Do you know how much money this pillow is worth?"
Yin Xiao'e pointed to the exquisite embroidered pillow made of silk next to her, and in Chu Xianping's dull eyes she asked and answered: "Three liang."
"This is the curtain of rain silk brocade, twelve."
"Snow satin quilt, five taels."
"My obscene clothes alone are worth two taels of silver, not to mention the clothes and jewelry I wear during the day..."
"Three hundred ounces of everything in this house is not fully stocked, how dare you say that you won't let me suffer?"
"I......"
Chu Xianping's face turned pale and his lips trembled: "Xiao'e, you were not like this before..."
"Before?"
The woman seemed to have heard a big joke and said funnyly: "Mr. Chu, before was before, now is now."
"Which woman would put aside the wealth and wealth she already had and instead live in hiding with a precarious man?"
"I did lie to you, but now that the matter has come to this, if the young master still has feelings for me, then please help me."
"..."
The embroidery room suddenly fell into deathly silence, with only Chu Xianping's rapid breathing echoing inside.
He had anticipated many situations before coming, but he never expected to get such an answer.
"No, no...it's not true..."
Chu Xianping kept shaking his head, as if he wanted to wake up from the nightmare and return to the reality full of beautiful fantasies.
Xiao'e must be worried about my safety, so she said this deliberately to scare me away...
Yes! That must be the case!
"Xiao'e, I..."
Chu Xianping suddenly raised his head, a faint hope rising in his eyes.
However, what he saw in the next moment ruthlessly extinguished the last trace of fire.
"Hula~"
The silk and brocade clothes worth two taels of silver slipped quietly, and the fair and delicate skin stimulated his nerves like needles.
"Mr. Chu, the Nu family is not that kind of heartless woman. If you are really unwilling, the Nu family will give you one..."
There was no emotion on Yin Xiao'e's face: "But after tonight, please don't come to me again."
"..."
The moonlight is bright and bright, flowing through the window as gently as water.
Chu Xianping stared blankly at the woman opposite him who he once regarded as Bai Yueguang, and squeezed out a few words from his throat with great difficulty.
"You, you have been with Guo Yunjin..."
"yes."
Yin Xiao'e replied as it should be: "A wealthy family values a woman's innocence the most. Although I haven't officially married yet, of course I have already been married to the master. Otherwise, how could I commit myself to you now?"
"The Luo Hong Yuan Pa is kept in the cabinet. Sir, would you like to take a look?"
"No, it's impossible..."
Chu Xianping's eyes widened and he clenched his hands into fists, trying his best to convince himself that this was not true.
However, Yin Xiao'e was too lazy to explain any more and just urged rather irritably:
"Mr. Chu, I have treated you with all my kindness and righteousness. If you don't have this intention, then leave earlier!"
"..."
Chu Xianping said nothing.
He held onto the edge of the bed in despair, opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water.
And at this moment.
"Master!! I can see it clearly! There is indeed a figure who climbed through the window and entered the embroidery room of the fourth lady!!"
A sudden shout floated in from the window, accompanied by a rush of footsteps.
Chu Xianping's expression changed, but before he could make any move, he heard a very shrill scream coming from beside him.
"ah!!"
"Master! Save me!! There is a thief!!!"
"Xiao, Xiao'e..."
Chu Xianping looked at Yin Xiao'e who was curled up in the corner of the bed in disbelief, and suddenly felt extremely cold.
This is a desperate cold.
"boom!!"
The door was kicked open, and several warriors rushed over immediately. Without saying a word, they pushed Chu Xianping to the ground, who did not offer any resistance.
At this time, Yin Xiao'e, who was wearing obscene clothes, plunged into Guo Yunjin's arms with tears in her eyes.
"O-Master, wuwuwu, this thief wants to be frivolous with me!"
"If you had come a step later, I'm afraid, I'm afraid he would have succeeded!"
"Slave, I'm so scared, wuwuwu..."
"snort!"
The corner of Guo Yunjin's mouth twitched, and he pushed Yin Xiao'e away with disgust, speaking in a cold tone.
"Just stay in the room and wait until I cut this thief to death with a thousand knives before I come back to ask you any questions!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room regardless of Yin Xiao'e's reaction.
"Bring out the thief!"
"Yes, sir!"
Several Guo family warriors immediately took out ropes and tied up the blank-eyed Chu Xianping, and soon followed Guo Yunjin and disappeared into the darkness.
The night wind was a little cool, but the torches around me were a little hot.
Chu Xianping was dragged all the way to the backyard of Guo Mansion like a zombie, his mind still blank.
He knew what he was about to face, but he didn't care at all.
If you die, just die. Anyway, your parents died early, and there is nothing to worry about in this world...
"Canglang~"
The warrior beside him drew his sword out of its sheath and slashed in this direction.
"..."
Chu Xianping smiled bitterly and closed his eyes, but he did not feel the pain he expected.
instead......
The broken hemp rope fell to the ground with a hula, and Guo Yunjin's nervous voice also sounded in his ears.
"Master Chu! Are you okay?!"
"The villain also did this under orders, so don't take it to heart!"
"Follow the order?"
The sudden turn of events caused Chu Xianping to open his eyes suddenly. He looked at Guo Yunjin, who was smiling apologetically, and asked subconsciously:
"On whose order?"
"It's Mr. Wei..."
Guo Yunjin rubbed his hands cautiously, and then recounted what happened during the day.
There was silence all around, and after hearing this, Chu Xianping felt that his mind was in a mess.
"You mean...this was all deliberately planned by Mr. Wei?"
"Yes...I guess the reason why Mr. Chu came to my house tonight is because Mr. Wei asked you to come."
"..."
Chu Xianping did not answer.
He is a smart man. Although he suddenly didn't react to the incident just now, he now roughly knows what happened.
Wei Changtian must have guessed that Yin Xiao'e might not be sincere to him, so he deliberately tried this method.
"Master Wei, did he... say anything else?"
"As I said, Mr. Wei also asked me..."
Guo Yunjin took a deep look at Chu Xianping and lowered his voice:
"How to deal with Yin Xiao'e...it's all up to you, sir."
