The lights in Dingxihou gradually extinguished a lot, and people in the front and back yards wrapped up their cotton-padded clothes tightly at night, banging their clappers and shouting as they passed by.
There were still bright lights in Chang Yuncheng's yard. There were suddenly many more girls in the yard, but it was quieter than before.
Qi Yue stood in Chang Yuncheng's house.
"This is my third or fourth time coming in." She looked around and sighed.
Chang Yuncheng stood aside with a sullen face and seemed to be in a bad mood. Naturally, he did not answer her.
Qi Yue actually didn't want to answer.
Her eyes fell on the big bed, where red mandarin duck quilts were placed side by side, decorated like a wedding ceremony.
This Dingxihou is really...
"You can't blame me for this." Qi Yue breathed out, looked at Chang Yuncheng, and said helplessly.
Chang Yuncheng sat down on a chair nearby, looking expressionless. The hand slightly holding the armrest showed that he was not as calm inside as he looked on the outside.
"Take it one step at a time and I'll think of a solution." Qi Yue took a few steps back and forth and said, looking at the bed again, "How do you want to sleep?"
Chang Yuncheng felt his body suddenly stiffen.
"Although it's not polite to say this, I'm a woman, so I'd better sleep in the bedroom. It's next to the clean room. It's convenient for me to wash and do everything." Qi Yue continued. After saying this, he turned to look at Chang Yuncheng.
He looked strange, "You... don't agree?"
Chang Yuncheng looked up at her. Under the light, the woman looked calm, as if she was talking about what the weather was like today.
His hands couldn't help but tighten their grip on the armrest.
"I disagree." He opened his mouth and said.
I initially regretted my words, but when I saw the woman in front of me frowning, she finally no longer had that distant look on her face, and I felt a little more comfortable.
"This is my bedroom, why should I let it out?" Chang Yuncheng leaned on the back of the chair and said slowly, "Whether you want to sleep or not."
Qi Yue looked at him for a moment and raised her hands helplessly.
"Okay, I can't afford to offend you. It's better to do less than to do more. I really don't have the energy to deal with you anymore." She said, calling Aru.
When the couple stood indoors and looked at the bed, Qiuxiang had been standing in the main room, as quiet as if he didn't exist.
This time she had a lucky escape. Dingxihou originally wanted to sell her out like the two unlucky roommates earlier, but it was the young lady who spoke up that made her stay.
"This girl is not that kind of person. She is good at what she does and she is smart. Several girls are crowded into a room. There happens to be an empty room. Let her live in it so that the other girls can live comfortably. It is not just for her.
That girl has some thoughts that she shouldn't have." The young lady said to Marquis Dingxi.
Dingxihou asked someone to tell her this word for word.
She had no thoughts, she had no thoughts at all. Qiuxiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed, screaming in her heart.
Marquis Dingxi rarely makes decisions, but when he does, few people can make him change. It is really an eye-opener for the young lady that he can escape this time...
Qiuxiang looked over there, her eyes always falling on Qi Yue. Seeing that Qi Yue seemed to have finished inspecting the bedroom, the couple said a few more words, but they didn't seem very happy...
As soon as Qi Yue called Aru, Qiuxiang rushed over.
"Young Madam, Sister Aru has arranged for Quezhi Ahao and the others. I will help you wash up." She asked in a low voice with a bit of caution and nervousness to please the humble past. When she said these words, she didn't even look at them.
Chang Yuncheng took one look, and in her eyes, no one else except the young lady could be seen at all.
"I can just wash it myself. Please help me make the Arhat bed over there." Qi Yue looked at her and Yan and said.
Qiuxiang was stunned and froze on the spot.
What?
The hot steam enveloped Qi Yue in the tub. Aru was helping her wipe her washed hair. She hadn't seen Qi Yue speak for a long time. She looked over with a little worry and saw Qi Yue leaning on the edge of the tub.
, with his eyes closed, he seemed to be asleep.
"Young madam, you can't sleep here." She reminded quickly.
Qi Yue regained consciousness and got up, put on her inner clothes and came out. Chang Yuncheng was the only one in the room, sitting there with a book in his hand.
The moist fragrance of the woman after washing spread in the room, Chang Yuncheng frowned slightly while holding the book.
He was looking at the book, but he could clearly see the woman wearing a white silk middle coat with peach red piping and her long hair like a waterfall walking over. She spoke to the girl in a low voice. After a while, the girl also retreated.
When I went out, the door was locked.
Finally they were the only two people left in the room.
Chang Yuncheng felt that his body finally relaxed. He stood up and walked to the clean room.
Everything seemed to be the same as usual, except that there was an extra bathtub, one was empty, and the other was filled with hot water, but there was a smell in the air that was not familiar to him. This was a stranger who broke into his position.
The smell, for the first time in so many years, the smell of someone else appeared in his position...
It was so uncomfortable!
When Chang Yuncheng came out, he saw that the lights over there had been turned off and there was no door on the partition, so he could see at a glance the human figure under the quilt on the Arhat's bed. The little one was lying on his side. He seemed to be aware of his gaze.
The person lying down turns over.
Chang Yuncheng looked away, only to feel his heart beating violently. When he realized this, he couldn't help but spit at himself.
Phew, there’s nothing to panic about, it’s not like I’ve never seen women before!
He walked over and slammed the door, turned around and blew out the light.
The room fell into darkness.
Chang Yuncheng was lying on the bed, staring.
What happened today was too shocking. The girl died and was killed by her master Aunt Zhou. The person who wanted to kill Qi Yueniang turned out to be Aunt Zhou...
He originally had no memory of this aunt, Qi Yueniang, but at this moment, he somehow remembered that a long time ago, he walked through Mrs. Lao Hou's yard and saw Aunt Zhou holding Qi Yueniang's hand. He didn't know what to do with her.
What to say, the smile was so kind, and that kind of intimacy made Chang Yuncheng stand still. That kind of intimacy was what he had seen on his mother's face. Although he could not remember his mother's face clearly, when he thought of his mother, his face
That smile will appear in my heart...
Chang Yuncheng sat up suddenly.
He listened carefully and could hear another person breathing through the door, but there was nothing unusual like sobbing.
Learning that someone I have always considered a relative wants to take his own life...
Chang Yuncheng lifted up the quilt and got out of bed and opened the door.
In the quiet darkness opposite, even breathing could be heard.
She asked for this herself! She was the one brought in by the old lady. She deserves her bad life...
Chang Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to close the door, turned around, walked to the table, poured water, and took a slow sip.
In that situation, when everyone was shouting that she was the murderer, she saw the fact that others didn't...
This woman, does she believe in herself that much...
Chang Yuncheng couldn't help but clenched his tea cup.
Someone died during the day, and she squatted there and looked at it for so long, and looked at it so carefully, otherwise she wouldn't have discovered that the cause of death was different...
After all, a woman is a woman, and someone she knew well and trusted died. She must be very scared...
Chang Yuncheng slowly drank the water, then walked over and opened the door.
"Brother..."
A woman's sigh sounded faintly in the room.
Chang Yuncheng couldn't help but feel his scalp numb due to the sudden voice and what he had just thought of.
"What do you mean?" Qi Yue's voice came from the other side.
Chang Yuncheng relaxed and suddenly became a little angry.
"What are you yelling at in the middle of the night!" He couldn't help shouting in a low voice.
There was a scraping sound on the quilt over there, and Chang Yuncheng, who had adapted to the darkness, could see Qi Yue turning around and lying on her side like that and looking over.
"Brother, you know it's midnight," she said with helplessness, "No matter how fun that door is, are you good enough to play it during the day?"
Chang Yuncheng was furious.
Qi Yue hasn't finished speaking yet.
"Or do you have any...bad habits?" She said with some speculation, "For example, you like to spy on women sleeping?"
She was answered by a loud bang on the door.
"I don't know what's wrong!" and a dull shout.
Qi Yue frowned. This person was so ungrateful. Fortunately, it finally became quiet over there. She turned over, looked at the dark roof, and exhaled softly.
Does a person die like this when he says he is going to die?
Died quietly?
Does she know why she died?
I still don’t know, okay….
The people here, the people in the Marquis Mansion, are already well-fed, well-clothed, and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Aren't they still satisfied? What are these people thinking in their hearts?
Qi Yue reached out to grab the quilt and slowly covered her face.
Qi Yue woke up naturally when the morning light was hazy. She got up and got out of bed. She habitually scratched her head and squinted to find a clean room. When her head hit the partition, she remembered that she had moved to a new place to live.
That man….
Qi Yue looked over there and saw that the bedroom door was wide open. She hesitated and walked over.
The quilts on the bed were lifted, but no one was there.
"Chang Yuncheng?" she called.
No one answered.
"Master?" She called again.
The room is still quiet.
This man is a soldier. He must have gone to practice martial arts early in the morning.
Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief and went straight to the clean room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a naked man with his back to her, pouring a bucket of water on him.
Qi Yue subconsciously screamed and closed her eyes.
"You pervert! If I call you and you answer, will you die?" she said angrily.
"I didn't hear it." Chang Yuncheng replied slowly, pouring another bucket of water and turning around.
Qi Yue hurriedly exited with her eyes closed.
When Chang Yuncheng washed up and came out, Qi Yue sat on the chair and looked at him with an unhappy expression.
Over there, Aru and Qiuxiang were quietly making the bed and folding the quilts. The door of the house was also opened, and the winter morning light made the house brighter.
Looking at Qi Yue's tense face, Chang Yuncheng unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth.
"...again, who has bad habits?" he said.
Qi Yue knew what he was talking about, so she stared at him for a moment, exhaled and regained her composure.
Chang Yuncheng looked at her expression, and the smile on his lips disappeared.
"I know you're not used to it, and neither am I." Qi Yue said, "But if I tell your father now that I insist on moving out, you will probably get a good beating..."
Chang Yuncheng, who had his head lowered and his face downcast, couldn't help but pursed his lips when he heard this. It was useless for me to be obedient...
"Of course, the fact that you were beaten is not the most important thing. The important thing is that after beating you, your father felt that he had vented his anger on me, so in the end he would not let me go out. Instead, he had to spend a lot of energy and effort to make up a lot of explanations.
If so, I don't want to talk to you any more now..." Qi Yue sighed in distress.
The corners of Chang Yuncheng's mouth suddenly dropped.
