Zhu Yu glanced at the direction of the arrow and frowned, "Suspicious."
She calmly took the attached letter from the arrow and opened it.
The three big characters "Xia Shu Di" were placed in front of me.
She was absolutely desperate so she risked her life to come here to get a piece of scrap paper. Anyway, it was just an arrow, so she might as well shoot it directly into the Star-Zhaing Tower.
The morning sun was rising slowly, and Zhu Yu felt a warmth as he hurried back.
There were not many people on the street, so she had to go back before Xie Jie went to court.
Suddenly a figure stopped in front of her and grabbed her sleeve.
"Sure enough, it's you!" A female voice interrupted her thoughts.
Zhu Yu stopped and turned around.
She saw a richly dressed lady glaring at her with an angry face.
After seeing clearly who was coming, Zhu Yu frowned slightly.
This was a woman she had no impression of, and she had never seen her.
"What do you want from me?" Zhu Yu shook her hand off hard and asked.
The woman snorted coldly: "You heartless black sheep liver, I have raised you for so many years in vain!"
Zhu Yu felt a chill in his heart.
She really had no impression of the person in front of her.
"Should I know her?" Zhu Yu asked the system.
[She is the second aunt of your Zhu family, the one who killed the original owner back then.] 888 A brief introduction.
I hope some of my sealed memories are awakened.
She didn't have a deep impression of Zhu's family because the time she passed through happened to be the time when the original owner was killed.
The original owner was the youngest daughter of the Zhu family. Her parents died, and her second uncle inherited all the family property. She became an abandoned child.
Her second aunt is a very powerful woman, not only good at making talismans, but also good at using poison.
The original owner was her medicine jar until she was fourteen years old.
On the surface, she acts as a gentle and good mistress at home, but secretly she allows her own children to bully and harm the original owner, and she only practices partial "justice".
In the end, it was revealed that he had done bad things, and he couldn't pretend anymore and sent the original owner to be sacrificed as a living sacrifice.
What a good aunt.
"Snapped--"
Zhu Yu raised his hand and slapped her hard.
"You bitch, if you dare to hit me, believe it or not, I will kill you!"
Gao didn't expect that Zhu Yu would dare to slap her now that her wings were stiff.
She immediately came back to her senses, covering her face and cursing.
Zhu Yu ignored her and continued walking forward.
At this time, Mrs. Gao pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu had noticed this scene a long time ago.
Seeing the cold light on the blade, she turned around suddenly and moved the crossbow on her wrist.
"ah!"
A scream.
Zhu Yu looked at Mr. Gao who was lying on the ground and whining in pain, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly with a touch of sarcasm, and he turned around and left.
"Madman! You are a madman!"
Mrs. Gao struggled in pain and kept wailing. She never imagined that Zhu Yu would dare to hurt her.
"I tell you, if you dare to hurt me again, you will be expelled from the clan. You are a shame to the Zhu family, and you do not deserve the surname Zhu." Mrs. Gao looked at her back and cursed fiercely.
After a moment, the woman could no longer scream.
Because there was an extra arrow on her back, and blood was dripping from it.
The ground was soaked in a large area.
Zhaixinglou study room.
A dark shadow passed over the branches of a plum tree, climbed through the window, and landed steadily in the hall.
The green smoke from the incense burner in the room was spiraling upwards, and the air pressure was terribly low.
The sharp-jointed fingertips gently stroked the edge of the tea cup. The man smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, but his ass showed an indescribable fierceness.
He caressed the note left on the desk, like an abandoned beast, frantically absorbing the remaining warmth from it.
【Guess what to have for breakfast today】
"Where did you go today?"
The voice coming from above was gentle and calm, but it was very penetrating when it fell on his ears.
The man in black knelt on the ground, his forehead suddenly covered with cold sweat, and told him everything he saw and heard.
"Someone wants to harm her?" The man's tone was no longer calm, but a bit harsh.
The man in black immediately clasped his fists and reported, "Don't worry, Master, it's been taken care of."
"Um."
The man in black thought he could retreat, but the man above him didn't give any instructions, so he really didn't dare to move.
He carefully raised his eyes and saw that the man's figure had already tensed up, his falcon eyes were half-closed, there was a cold look between his brows, and he was smiling strangely.
It's not like he has never seen this look before, it was the same when the rabbit his master raised when he was young ran away.
"boom--"
The white jade cup in the man's hand was broken, blood dripped, and red flowers bloomed.
"Put on an identical pair." Xie Jie threw down his sleeves and left, walking in a hurry.
"yes."
Fortunately, the man in black was assigned another task.
"Miss Zhu... she's on her way back."
The man in black hesitated for a moment, but decided to add this sentence to save his life.
The man who walked to the door paused and walked out.
…
Zhu Yu returned to Zhaixinglou to restore his original state, and Xie Jie just returned from the court.
He was holding several bags of paper bags in his hand. He must have gone to the street to buy snacks for her again.
Zhu Yu came out, felt happy, and gave him a big hug.
"Thank you for your hard work, my lord." Xie Jie was stunned, and then a complex look flashed in his eyes.
He pulled his thick cloak around Zhu Yu tightly and carried her into the house.
The two of them were sitting in front of the fire, chatting and eating, just like any ordinary morning in the past. Xie Jie stared at the girl's satisfied expression while eating, and the rational strings in his heart were tense.
She has come back.
What about next time.
His long, cold fingers gently brushed the corner of her lips and brushed the side of her face. He stretched out his hand to tighten the girl's loose collar.
"Master, don't catch a cold." Zhu Yu hummed obediently, as a villain can take care of others.
The news that Xie Jie was going to Shu had spread, but he still made no move.
Several days passed.
Zhu Yu felt that she could no longer sit down like this.
The villain must be reassured that she will go out with him instead of being protected in the Star Reaching Tower.
Moreover, the villain's birthday is coming soon, so she has to prepare a surprise secretly.
So she proposed to go out, but as expected she was rejected.
"There is everything in the treasury, Master, it is not safe outside." Xie Jie held the man in his arms and said warmly.
Zhu Yu spoke in a soft voice, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone, "How about you come with me? With you here, how can I be in any danger?"
After speaking, she showed off the sleeve arrows she always carried on her wrist, indicating that the security measures were in place.
"Okay." Xie Jie's hand on her waist tightened silently, and there was no emotion in his obsidian eyes.
He could never refuse Zhu Yu.
Xie Jie passed the memorial to Baili Zimu. When the courtiers heard about the memorial, they all went to the prime minister's office and couldn't help but tremble in their heels.
Is something going to change?!
The two of them left the palace dressed normally.
Xie Jie took off his court clothes and made dozens of clothes in the same color as Zhu Yu overnight.
He didn't know why he was obsessed with wearing clothes of the same color as her.
I just think it looks good.
When it comes to having fun, Zhu Yu has always been an expert.
We hunted and rode horses, went shopping and visited lakes, and played lantern riddles at the lantern festival. It was a pity that Xie Jie couldn't drink flower wine, otherwise she would have dragged him in to join in the fun.
After wandering around the capital city of Shangrao, Zhu Yu finally found a suitable gift to express his gratitude.
