Cui Yunqing was like a frightened bird, and said in a tight tone: "Cousin, hide yourself quickly!"
He can't let him see his cousin!
Xu Mingyi hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
There was only one person on the other side when I heard the footsteps, so it wasn't difficult to solve it on the spot.
But the situation was unclear at the moment, so she might as well take a look at the general situation in the dark.
And if someone really dares to hurt cousin Qing again, she can stop him at any time.
Xu Mingyi ducked behind the large screen next to the curtain, breathed as slowly as possible, and looked out through the tiny gap between the two screens.
A man wearing an indigo brocade robe walked over slowly, his hair tied up with a jade crown, and he held a folded fan in his hand. His temperament was gentle and elegant.
When he got closer, what appeared in Xu Mingyi's sight was the face of a young man, about twenty-four or five years old.
Xu Mingyi slowly clenched his fingers.
It turned out to be Xia Han...
Sure enough, he instigated Zhan Qian to kidnap cousin Qing here and hide her in this secret room!
It seems that it is not difficult to guess what the purpose of an adult man is in hiding a young girl.
Xu Mingyi suppressed the anger rising in his heart.
She knew very well that it was never a good idea to show up rashly now. Even if she made a scene on the spot and deliberately alarmed the people, she might not be able to use everyone's words to convict the other party - on the contrary, it would be Qing's cousin who would be completely ruined in front of others.
To lose her reputation, a girl's life when she is thirteen years old is destined to be ruined tonight.
The world is unfair to women, and she cannot make a knife regardless of what happened to Qing's cousin - even if this knife can really hurt Xia Han a little, the real tip of the knife will eventually stab Qing's cousin.
The more critical the situation is, the less likely it is to act impulsively.
Outside the secret room, two followers brought by Xia Han were guarding the corridor outside the hall.
He was awakened by the knock on the door just now, and the servant who got up in a hurry was hiding his mouth and yawning outside the study.
He slept very soundly tonight. The young master had someone knock on the door for a while before he heard it. He was still very sleepy at the moment. It must be that the season of autumn fatigue has arrived.
The courtyard was quiet except for the yawns of the servants one after another.
Zhu Xiu, who was guarding the backyard wall, was inevitably a little uneasy.
Just now he saw a man entering the study. It turned out that there was a secret room under the study. The girl never showed up. He thought that he had probably discovered the secret room and entered the secret room to investigate——
The girl was so bold, which made servants like them fearful.
Azhu frowned slightly.
She had just looked at it carefully, and the man who entered the secret room alone was obviously a weak scholar. A girl could defeat ten men like that.
This is on the premise of not using poison.
It was the man's followers who should be more worried about the master's safety.
But believe it or not, Ah Zhu is not completely nervous.
The father and daughter discussed and weighed for a moment, and decided that if there was still no movement in the secret room after a quarter of an hour, they would break in to find out what was going on.
In the secret room, Xia Han sat down beside the bed, looked at Cui Yunqing, and asked in a warm voice: "Are you obedient and eating well today?"
Cui Yunqing didn't dare to look into his eyes, and shivered in a corner while hugging his knees.
"Looks like I've lost a lot of weight."
Xia Han sighed lightly, looked at the girl huddled up, and said, "Come to me."
His tone was warm and gentle, as if he were treating a cherished object patiently.
But Cui Yunqing looked extremely scared, biting his lower lip tightly, and tears kept falling from his eyes.
"Why, do you still want to be locked in a cage?" Xia Han's tone was still gentle enough.
Cui Yunqing's face suddenly turned pale.
cage?
Xu Mingyi's eyes were fixed on the huge black iron cage under the window, his eyebrows were tightly knitted, and there was indescribable depression and anger in his heart.
Cui Yunqing trembled and moved slowly towards Xia Han.
A satisfied smile appeared in Xia Han's eyes.
very good.
He was very stubborn at first, but after all, he is still young, and overall he is quite handy.
"You are much more knowledgeable and interesting than her. It's no wonder that when I first saw you, I liked you very much." Xia Han raised his hand to wipe away the girl's tears, with approval in his eyes.
The woman in that room was so hard that his patience ran out. It was precisely because of this that when he saw Cui Yunqing in Shang Yu Pavilion that day, he had the urge to take advantage of this introverted and somewhat tempered little girl.
To calm down my thoughts.
This little girl certainly did not disappoint him.
Realizing that the girl was trembling more and more because of his touch, he took his hand back and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, I promised you before that I will never force myself to do anything to you. You are still young now,
We have plenty of time to spend together.”
He disdains simply forcing women.
Those superficial pleasure-seeking things are easily accessible to him and have never been able to touch him in the slightest.
He is different from those rude people who abuse women.
What he wants is to control the other person's mind and watch those women who were originally quite untamable slowly become obedient and well-behaved under his hands.
This feeling of being in control of everything pleases him the most.
It is precisely because it is secretive and exciting that it can be called interesting.
His life has been too boring since birth, and only being in this secret room can make him feel that life is still interesting.
He took out a beaded hairpin from his sleeve and slowly inserted it into the hair of the girl in front of him.
Then he stood up and took a bronze mirror, placed it in front of her eyes, and asked with a smile: "I picked this specially for you, see if you like it."
Cui Yunqing raised his eyes tremblingly and looked at himself in the mirror with tears on his face.
Behind the screen, Xu Mingyi's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly, and a chill came from the bottom of his heart.
What she saw today could be said to have subverted her understanding.
The other party seems to be gentle and patient, but every word and word seems to want to break through the other party's mental defense——
Using 'like' as an excuse to justify one's animal behavior;
Compare Qing's cousin to another woman;
And that extremely intimidating cage...
This is also sadistic!
The spirit is greater than the body, and the cruelty is even more terrifying!
"It's okay if you don't want to talk to me. Just rest early and I'll go see her." Xia Han put the bronze mirror on the stool aside and stood up.
"No……"
Cui Yunqing suddenly spoke and looked up at him with a pleading look in his eyes: "Don't go! I beg you..."
Her deepest nightmare, besides the cold cage, was the sound coming from the secret room next to her...
He forced that sister, but the sister refused to obey and was tortured until she was covered in bruises every time!
She was afraid of hearing that sound!
Even though he promised her that he would not treat her like that sister, she was still extremely afraid.
Xia Han smiled and looked at her with interest.
"What, you don't want me to get close to other women?"
