Xiaolan stood in the yard, looking at the lights in Qin Shaobai's room.
She just stood there, feeling the coldness that penetrated her bones on this February night.
"Sister." A shawl was gently draped on Xiaolan's body.
Xiaolan didn't need to look back. She smelled the faint fragrance and knew that the girl named Hongxiu was behind her.
"Sister, are you also here to see Mr. Qin? Why are you standing in this courtyard and not knocking on the door?"
Hongxiu took Xiaolan's hand, raised her eyes, and immediately exclaimed: "Sister, why are you crying?"
She suddenly knelt down, no matter how cold the ground in the yard was: "Sister, are you angry with my sister? Are you angry that my sister shouldn't come to see Mr. Qin so late at night?"
Xiaolan lowered her head and stretched out her hand to help Hongxiu up: "It's just that the wind blew some unknown dust, which made my eyes sore and made me cry."
After saying that, he put the shawl on Hongxiu again: "You are weak. It's so late. You should rest in the room. What are you doing here?"
Hong Xiu lowered his head, seeming to be hesitating about something.
Finally she raised her head, her eyes already shining brightly.
"Sister, my sister has been here in Qin Mansion for several days. Since that day, I haven't seen you. Today I heard that a big case happened in the government office. I thought that you will be there worrying about the case. It may be very late.
I just went to bed, so I came here rashly to give you a bowl of ginseng tea."
Xiaolan's heart moved. If she hadn't seen this red sleeve tonight, she would have almost forgotten that there was such a person in her house.
Thinking about it, this girl is also pitiful. She was abandoned since she was a child. She learned a lot but only laughed with others. She finally found her freedom, but she was so stubborn that she had to stay here.
At first, she thought that Hongxiu's target was her brother Qin, and even became so angry that she wanted to find a way to drive Hongxiu away. Later, she saw that Qin Shaobai didn't even have a trace of Hongxiu in his eyes, and Zhao Bai was even more angry.
You may not even know the name Hongxiu, so you slowly let down your guard.
Who knew that as soon as I let my guard down, I almost forgot about this person.
One can imagine how lonely and painful Hongxiu felt during the days she stayed here.
Thinking of this, Xiaolan felt a pity in her heart, and couldn't help but hold Hongxiu's hand: "Look, your own hands are so cold, and you are still thinking about giving him ginseng tea to drink. He has always stopped after the Youshi period.
When you meet someone again, think about some issues by yourself. If you want to see him in the future, you must do so before Youshi. Otherwise, you will end up being kicked out."
"Sister, are you sad because you were kicked out of the room just now?"
Hongxiu asked, his eyes full of concern.
Xiaolan thought to herself, I might as well grant your wish and kill your heart, so as to prevent the secret from being accidentally revealed.
So, she nodded.
"Master Qin really doesn't understand Fengqing. My sister just wants to spend this long night with him, but he is so heartless. Come on, we sisters will go find him together. I want him to give us an explanation as to why.
Treat us like this."
Xiaolan never expected that Hongxiu would be so generous, and quickly grabbed her: "Miss Hongxiu, it's not too early now, we'd better not disturb him."
Hong Xiu instinctively struggled forward, pushed with both hands, and almost pushed Xiaolan to the ground.
Xiaolan was shocked.
She originally thought that Hongxiu had no martial arts skills at all, but she never expected that there would be such a powerful force in Hongxiu's body.
This power is definitely not weaker than any ordinary girl in Yuanlou.
She suddenly became vigilant, and the person turned around and turned in front of Hong Xiu, blocking her way forward.
Hongxiu had already realized that she had accidentally revealed her inner strength in a moment of desperation. Although it was only a little bit, Xiaolan would definitely be able to tell it based on her understanding of Xiaolan.
"Sister, Hong Xiu has been thrown around since she was a child. There was a time when she met a master who knew martial arts. She taught Hong Xiu some kung fu. Just now, Hong Xiu was impatient and actually used that kung fu on her sister. Fortunately, she didn't
Injure my sister, otherwise Hongxiu will never be able to bear the responsibility."
What a sharp-tongued girl.
Xiaolan couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart, you are very exquisite. Knowing that I have noticed something fishy about you, I might as well confess it first.
It's just that your internal strength cultivation is not something that an ordinary martial artist can teach you with just a little bit of training.
"It turns out that Miss Hongxiu is also interested in martial arts, which is good. In this world, it is always good to have self-defense skills. I heard that the government office has hired two new arresters, and they seem to be women.
If Miss Hongxiu really likes to learn martial arts, I will take Miss Hongxiu to see the two arresters tomorrow."
Hongxiu's face turned red, and she bowed and saluted: "Hongxiu is here in the Qin Mansion, protected by Mr. Qin and Sister Xiaolan. How can there be any bad people who can harm Hongxiu? Hongxiu has no interest in learning martial arts, so I still thank you.
Sister is kind."
While the two were talking, the lights in Qin Shaobai's room were suddenly blown out.
"Okay, sir, he has gone to bed. None of us should disturb him. Miss Hongxiu should go back to her room and sleep early." After saying that, Xiaolan turned to the little girl following behind and said: "Ginkgo, your master
She is weak. We can't let her go out to have a breeze on cold nights like this in the future. Why don't we help her back to her room to rest."
Hongxiu wanted to say something else, but Xiaolan had already smiled at her and walked towards her room.
"Master, let's go too, it's really cold today." Ginkgo urged.
Hongxiu didn't say anything. She bit her red lips with her white teeth, then turned around and looked at Ginkgo.
Ginkgo felt that her vision was blurry, as if someone was giving her orders, and she walked to Qin Shaobai's room involuntarily.
Seeing that Ginkgo was about to push Qin Shaobai's door open, Hongxiu opened her red lips slightly and said, "Come back."
As if hearing the order, the ginkgo slowly turned around and ran towards Hongxiu again.
"Follow me."
Ginkgo nodded and followed the red sleeves forward.
Hongxiu's speed was getting faster and faster. Although Ginkgo couldn't catch her, she was still chasing after her. Sweat gradually appeared on her face and her breathing became faster and faster.
"Okay, let's go sit down at the stone table."
Hongxiu pointed at the stone table in front of her room.
Seeing that Ginkgo sat down on the cold stone bench very obediently, she gently pressed her hand on Ginkgo's head, and the Ginkgo immediately fell asleep on the stone table.
Seeing this, Hongxiu showed a slight smile, opened the door and walked in.
As soon as the door opened, she froze there.
Sitting on her bed was a man in black.
"Why, you are becoming less and less confident in your psychedelic skills? You would actually attack a little maid?"
"Master." Hongxiu suddenly knelt down, "Hongxiu heard that Qin Shaobai encountered a strange thing today, and wanted to go to him to inquire about it, but he was stopped by Xiaolan, and he was unwilling to let him go.
Ginkgo, let’s try it out.”
"Oh, really? Isn't it because you used psychedelic magic on Xiaolan and it didn't have any effect, so I asked you to test it on the little maid?"
"Master, Hong Xiu's psychedelic technique was taught by the master himself, so how could it be useless? I didn't use any psychedelic technique on Xiaolan just now?"
"You really take yourself seriously now." The man in black sighed, with deep regret in every word. One of his hands had already grabbed Hongxiu's chin.
Hong Xiu suddenly felt that her face was about to burst. She did not dare to shed tears, so she could only hold back.
A cold hand gently stroked Hongxiu's face: "I have told you many times that your target is Qin Shaobai. You want him to fall in love with you. Of course, if you can kill him,
That's better, but you absolutely can't hurt Xiaolan, you know? Absolutely not."
As soon as he loosened his grip, Hong Xiu was almost thrown out.
After finally stabilizing her figure, Hongxiu was about to express her loyalty again, but the figure of the man in black was nowhere to be seen.
There was a knock on the door.
Hong Xiu suddenly felt numb all over her body. She didn't dare to open the door and quickly blew out the candles in the room.
The knocking on the door gradually became weaker, and finally everything fell silent.
Hongxiu opened the door gently, and Ginkgo was still sleeping on the stone table.
Then who could be the person who knocked on the door just now?
The evening breeze blew gently, and Hongxiu felt a little cold. She hugged her shoulders, but in front of her eyes was the Jujue eyes of the person just now.
"I have stayed with you for so many years, but you have humiliated me like this for such a lowly girl."
The sad eyes suddenly flashed with a ruthless look. Hongxiu looked towards Xiaolan's room, biting her silver teeth lightly: "One day, I will definitely cut the person you love into thousands of pieces and make her suffer thousands of deaths."
Only by humiliating thousands of people can the hatred in my heart be relieved."
"Everyone says that the red-sleeved girl from Fengwu Tower is beautiful and kind-hearted. Who would have thought that she would be such a snake-hearted person?"
Two figures floated down from the roof, one white and one purple, which stood out against the red lanterns in the courtyard.
