After the incident at the Xiao Mansion's birthday banquet, the people of Lanling City regained their energy and returned to their former peace, while the vendors in the streets and alleys were still noisy.
The old lady of the Xiao Mansion was also sick. Countless precious decoctions came and went in the Green Bamboo Courtyard, but the old lady's illness still showed no signs of improvement.
However, Xiao Wenhe, the fourth son of the Xiao Mansion, has never been able to cross this hurdle!
Just after returning from Kyoto, he sent his mother and sister away. Just two short months later, he personally held his father's funeral. The three-bedroom house that was once bustling with people was now deserted, with only himself and himself left.
My concubine Xiao Shurou.
Every time he woke up from a hangover, Xiao Wenhe felt like he had had a ridiculous and terrifying dream. When he opened his eyes, the nightmare came into reality, "Xiao Wenjun! I will definitely make it impossible for you to live or die!"
In Qinglan Yuan, two women were sitting leisurely in the courtyard drinking tea.
"Fourth sister, this is the 100,000 taels of silver note agreed upon, please keep it." Xiao Wenjun motioned to Chunxia to put the box on the table, and pushed it in front of Xiao Shurou with his jade hand.
"Third Sister is really happy!" Xiao Shurou's eyes flashed with joy, and she just smiled and said, "Then I will give Third Sister another piece of news for free."
"Third sister, please speak." Xiao Wenjun took a sip of tea and said indifferently.
"I reminded Third Sister last time that Xiao Wenhe is secretly watching you again, but this time he is even more frantic." Xiao Shurou's voice was soft, but a chill could be heard in it.
"I was a little confused last time. Fourth sister and Xiao Wenhe are both brothers and sisters, so why did they never call him brother?" Xiao Wenjun filled Xiao Shurou's cup of tea again and asked.
"He alone is worthy of it!" Xiao Shurou said bitterly, but when she met Xiao Wenjun's probing eyes, her heart suddenly realized that she had made a mistake. She quickly drank a sip of tea to cover it up. When the tea entered her mouth, it burned her mouth hard.
.
But Xiao Shurou forcefully swallowed the hot tea into her belly calmly, her voice slightly hoarse: "The third sister and my father are connected by blood, and they are both members of the Xiao family. Don't you think about the blood relationship?"
"Fourth sister is really transparent!" Xiao Wenjun praised from the bottom of his heart.
After sending Xiao Shurou away, Chun Xia's little face wrinkled into chrysanthemums, "Princess, I always feel that this fourth lady is a little weird. I drank such hot tea without even frowning!"
"This just shows that the fourth sister also hates the third room." Xiao Wenjun's thoughts were a little wandering. Xiao Shurou was very different from her previous life. Could it be that she was too?
"Princess?" Chunxia called several times before Xiao Wenjun came back to his senses, "Princess, the fourth young master has ill intentions towards you, how should you deal with it?"
"I have made my own decision. Please change into men's clothes. I want to go out tonight." Xiao Wenjun returned to his thoughts and said to Qiu Dong.
In the private room on the top floor of Mingyue Building, a man and a woman sat opposite each other, with a pot of fine "Three Days Drunk" on the table.
"I want two people from you." Every time Xiao Wenjun looked at Wang Jiuyuan's magnificent face, he felt a little unnatural and lowered his eyes and whispered.
"Who does Wenjun want to trick this time?" Wang Jiuyuan chuckled. This should be the first time that Xiao Wenjun took the initiative to look for him.
The moonlight filtered through the window, and the cool halo reflected on the girl's face, making Wang Jiuyuan feel dazed for a moment.
"Xiao Wenhe has been a little dishonest recently. I have discovered several times that he is following me secretly." The girl's voice was calm, as if the person being followed had nothing to do with her.
"I'll kill him myself!" A chill flashed in Wang Jiuyuan's eyes. He dared to touch the woman he liked, even if the King of Heaven came, let alone just Xiao Wenhe.
"There's no need to dirty your hands, I have a way." Xiao Wenjun felt warm in his heart and a little panicked. He took a sip of wine and said in a calm tone.
"Okay, listen to Wenjun." Wang Jiuyuan's eyes did not escape the girl's every move. His heart moved, and there was some expectation hidden in his teasing tone, "How do you feel about me?"
"To you?" Xiao Wenjun fell into deep thought. Wang Jiuyuan asked so directly, but it was hard for her to know how to answer.
Even if it was murder and arson, she would do it vigorously and resolutely, but when it came to him and his relationship, she seemed to shrink back into the cowardly Xiao Wenjun's body.
Wang Jiuyuan's lips curled up slightly, wanting to get closer to her, and said seriously: "I know that you have a deep knot in your heart, and I also know that you are not completely indifferent to me..."
Facing Wang Jiuyuan's sincere and deep eyes, Xiao Wenjun felt as if a ball of cotton was stuck in his chest. The feeling of panic and dull pain came over again. The jade hand in his sleeve clenched into a fist, took a deep breath, and interrupted his words:
"Young Master Wang, I already have an engagement."
"You are talking about the third prince Yu Wenyao, how can that sissy be worthy of you?" Wang Jiuyuan was furious when he heard this, and suddenly turned into a fighting cock again.
Xiao Wenjun was stunned by his smooth switching of states, and laughed out loud, "You dress in red and colorful clothes all day long, aren't you also a sissy!"
Wang Jiuyuan smiled instead of being angry. He walked up to the girl, leaned down, touched her cheek with his slender fingers, and said through gritted teeth: "Wenjun, do you want to give it a try?"
"Get away..." Xiao Wenjun dodged his eyes, his face turned red, and he kicked Wang Jiuyuan away.
Wang Jiuyuan rolled around on the ground twice, covering the injured area where he blocked Xiao Wenjun's arrow, grinning in pain and shouting: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
Xiao Wenjun hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "It's my fault, did it hurt you?"
Wang Jiuyuan smiled evilly, with a cunning flash in his eyes. He put his arms around her slender neck and pinned her down with his backhand.
Xiao Wenjun was slapped by Wang Jiuyuan!
"What do you say?" His strong breath sprayed on her face, and a tingling feeling spread throughout her body in an instant. Her mind went blank, and her face turned crimson, all the way to her ears.
She couldn't breathe, and she didn't look like she was acting vigorously outside.
Xiao Wenjun came back to her senses and waved her pink fist. Unexpectedly, her two small hands were caught by his big hands. He exerted force and her hands were raised above her head, unable to move!
Seeing Wang Jiuyuan's face getting closer and closer, her pupils shrank. Xiao Wenjun turned his head and said as thinly as a mosquito: "Wang Jiuyuan, you bastard..."
Seeing the tears flowing from the corners of Xiao Wenjun's eyes, Wang Jiuyuan finally resisted the impulse. Then he said with great seriousness: "I will help you withdraw from the engagement!"
"Wang Jiuyuan, I will handle the matter of breaking off the engagement myself! I don't have the slightest affection for Yu Wenyao." Xiao Wenjun looked into those gentle eyes and was even more afraid that he would fall into too deep a trap.
Besides, she knew how ruthless Yu Wenyao's methods were and didn't want Wang Jiuyuan to get involved.
Wang Jiuyuan looked at Xiao Wenjun, his eyes full of determination and sincerity.
"You are mentally tough, brave and resourceful." He gently let go of her hand, recalling the soft touch just now, his gentle voice became firmer, "But I still want to protect you.
!”
Xiao Wenjun's heart trembled, and she shed a few tears. She made a mistake in her previous life, and she wanted to revitalize the Xiao family and die alone, but he still touched her heartstrings.
"Wang Jiuyuan, you don't understand me!" Xiao Wenjun looked at Wang Jiuyuan with a complicated expression.
"Xiao Wenjun, no matter what decision you make, I, Wang Jiuyuan, will support you with all my strength!" Wang Jiuyuan held her shoulders and said seriously.
Xiao Wenjun tapped Wang Jiuyuan's lips. The softness coming from his lips made his heart tremble, and their lips parted in just a moment.
"Don't mention the divorce issue in the future, I want to resolve it myself!"
