Xiao Luolan's eyelashes trembled and she shook her head: "No need."
Zhou Xu saw that Mrs. Xiao did not withdraw her hand and hugged her on his lap. Xiao Luolan bit her lip to stop herself from being so stiff.
Zhou Xu hugged the warm jade and the fragrance, feeling happy in his heart, and coaxed him: "If you like Golden Pearl, you can play with Ye Mingzhu."
Xiao Luolan shook his head.
"Then what do you like? You can tell me."
"The servant was injured today. Can you ask Shiroro to... buy some medicine for him?" Xiao Luolan trembled nervously. Can her test succeed this time? Can Zongzhu Zhou do this for her?
After hearing this, Zhou Xu looked at Mrs. Xiao with a smile and narrowed his eyes without saying anything.
Just when Xiao Luolan was so looked at by him that he almost regretted saying these words.
Sect Leader Zhou suddenly smiled and said, "Is it enough to just deliver medicine?"
Xiao Luolan was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. Did Sect Master Zhou know what she was thinking?
"Sixteenth Prince is ignorant and hurts Reg." Zhou Xu gently kissed Mrs. Xiao's pink neck, and his voice was a little blurry: "Of course it's a whipping."
Zhou Xu looked at Mrs. Xiao with wet eyes, caressed her flushed cheeks, and smiled softly: "I will not allow anyone to bully my people."
"Whoever that is."
Chapter 38 (revision)
When Xiao Luolan heard this, he unconsciously raised his eyes to look at Sect Leader Zhou. Was he simply talking about Reg being injured, or was he hinting?
"Stop making the sachet. It won't be too late to embroider when you have time tomorrow. I'm not in a hurry to use it anyway." Zhou Xu put the sachet in Mrs. Xiao's hand into the small basket on the table. Sure enough, he saw the sachet in the afternoon. The herbs bought in the shop were neatly placed there.
"Does it still hurt?" Zhou Xu saw that the red spots on the white fingertips were slightly swollen and the fingertips were slightly red. He lowered his head and kissed her again. Mrs. Xiao might have just taken a bath, and there was a faint floral fragrance lingering all over her body. There is a unique fragrance, which is very fragrant and smells particularly good.
"No, it doesn't hurt anymore." Xiao Luolan lowered her head slightly. She felt as if she was surrounded by a furnace. Her hot breath made her tremble every time she came close. Her wrist was held loosely by Zongzhu Zhou. In the palm of her hand, the man's rough hand played with her fingers, kissing them from time to time.
Seeing that Sect Leader Zhou never acted too much, Xiao Luolan's rapidly beating heart slowly returned to calmness.
Zhou Xu was tall and strong, with Mrs. Xiao sitting on his lap. He couldn't feel the weight at all. He looked around the boudoir and didn't see the snow cream, so he asked, "Where is the snow cream? I'll wipe it for you." .”
Xiao Luolan took back her hand, her ears and cheeks flushed: "No need."
Although Zhou Xu didn't understand what Mrs. Xiao was thinking, he still coaxed: "If you are injured, it will heal faster if you rub it a little. Besides, if your fingers are connected to your heart, you won't be able to sleep well all night until the swelling subsides." Others were missing arms and legs in front of him. , Zhou Xu didn't care. He saw more dead people than living people on the battlefield, but when it came to Mrs. Xiao, he couldn't bear to let her suffer a little bit.
Xiao Luolan couldn't resist Zhou Zongzhu, so she said: "Next to the pillow." After saying that, she got off Zongzhu Zhou's lap and wanted to get it herself. Unexpectedly, her body suddenly rose into the air, and she almost didn't scream.
Zhou Xu hugged Mrs. Xiao and put her on the bed, then sat on the footrest. Seeing Mrs. Xiao staring at him angrily, he smiled narrowly and said, "Mrs. Xiao, why don't you take a few steps less?"
Xiao Luolan was angered by Zongzhu Zhou's rogue remarks. As far as the distance between the table and the bed was concerned, there was no need for him to do anything for him.
"Mrs. Xiao, don't be angry." Zhou Xu came up and said, "I just want to be closer to you."
Because he had not gone to bed yet, the light yellow bed curtains on the bed were not put down and were only hooked on the four sides of the bed. Sect Master Zhou was sitting on the footrest with a lazy posture. There was no awe in his words and smiles, as if he was just chatting and having fun, not a bit. There was no airs. Xiao Luolan thought of the domineering and arrogant Zhou Liulang and felt that they really had two different personalities.
She opened the porcelain medicine bottle and poured out some medicine. Her long eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow.
Zhou Xu waited for Mrs. Xiao to finish applying the medicine and took the porcelain bottle.
Xiao Luolan looked at him puzzled. She thought that Clan Master Zhou wanted to take the Snow Cream back. Actually, she could just take it back. She was not injured now and didn't need it. Or maybe Clan Master Zhou wanted to give it to his nephew. use?
"Are the rest of the injuries healed?" Zhou Xu asked seriously.
Xiao Luolan didn't react at first, but after he understood it, his face turned red immediately, feeling ashamed and angry. Whenever Xiao Luolan felt that Zongzhu Zhou had some merits, he would always reveal another side. , this person...what is this person thinking about every day.
"Okay." Xiao Luolan answered quickly and firmly this time. The snow ointment was very effective. After applying it, she took a special look when she got up and got dressed this morning. The red marks had almost faded.
"Can I take a look?" Zhou Xu asked seriously.
Xiao Luolan could not imagine that this person could be so shameless.
Xiao Luolan held her hand tightly. She would easily blush and sweat when she was in a hurry. If Clan Master Zhou was still as indiscriminate as before, Xiao Luolan could bear it for a while, but Clan Master Zhou asked so politely this time. This made Xiao Luolan feel even more embarrassed, angry and panicked, but she didn't dare to refuse too much. Only in the afternoon did she decide to use the power of Sect Master Zhou to protect the mother and daughter.
Everything about them was fake, but the protection that Clan Master Zhou gave them was real, the power in Clan Master Zhou's hands was also real, and his treatment of her... seemed to be real.
The only thing she can use here is that truth.
Zhou Xu looked at Mrs. Xiao and saw that her eyelashes were trembling fiercely, fluttering like butterflies, and her embroidery was wrinkled together. Hesitation flashed on her pretty face, and her white teeth bit her red lips.
"Just looking, nothing else." Zhou Xu promised in a low voice.
Mrs. Xiao looked at him with trembling eyelashes and her breathing was unsteady.
"Really." Zhou Xu said restrainedly.
Xiao Luolan closed her eyes and untied it a little. After waiting for a long time, the room was so quiet, as if she was the only one left.
Xiao Luolan couldn't help but open her eyes and saw Clan Master Zhou standing in front of her. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary. He really just looked at her this time. Xiao Luolan was startled. She originally thought that Clan Master Zhou would be the same as last time. Same, I didn't expect what I said this time to be true, Xiao Luolan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, that's fine.
Zhou Xu bent down slightly, and his loose robe covered his strange appearance. After noticing that Mrs. Xiao was no longer so wary and nervous about him, he rubbed the porcelain bottle and said, "There seems to be a little red mark."
"I'll apply the medicine myself later." Xiao Luolan's cheeks turned red.
Zhou Xu handed the porcelain vase to Mrs. Xiao and asked, "Can I take another look?"
Xiao Luolan's hand holding the porcelain bottle shook, and the medicine bottle almost fell to the ground. However, seeing that Sect Master Zhou was very trustworthy this time, and remembering his own plan, he lowered his head and did not respond.
The love and pity in Zhou Xu's heart grew even stronger. He stretched out his hands to close Mrs. Xiao's clothes and suddenly said, "I know you have been wronged today."
Xiao Luolan immediately looked up at Sect Leader Zhou.
"I will tell Shirokuro to be a good man. He won't. I can teach him. After all, he is my junior." Zhou Xu smiled and touched Mrs. Xiao's face: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, I'm here." , no one can bully you."
After that, he went out.
Xiao Luolan stared at the candlelight in the room in trance. Has she succeeded in seducing him?
Dou's study room.
Zhou Yanzhi knelt straight on the floor, and the foreign boy beside him was also kneeling.
Zhou Yanzhi knelt for a while, then bent down and rubbed his knees with a grin on his face. He never expected that he would be punished to kneel down on Taiyang's first day. It was a big loss that he didn't bring the knee pads in Nanji Academy. If he had taken it, he wouldn't be suffering like this now.
Thinking back to the days when people were shouting in front of Nanji Academy in Nanning, I regretted coming here.
He and Amu had been kneeling here for two hours since they entered Dou Mansion. Kneeling made him feel dizzy and hungry, and his knees stung like needles.
"Amu, do you feel any pain?"
The foreign boy replied: "It's okay."
"Actually, you don't have to kneel. After all, my uncle didn't ask you to kneel. If you didn't kneel, you can still go to the kitchen and get me some food." Zhou Yanzhi sighed, his expression was sluggish, which was completely different from the high energy of Taiyang who had just arrived. The difference.
The foreign young man glanced at Zhou Yanzhi and said nothing. If he had not knelt down with the sixteenth man at that time, the result would not be much better than now.
Zhou Yanzhi wanted to say something else, but when he heard the footsteps, he immediately closed his mouth.
Zhou Xu opened the door and came in, walked to the high chair in the study and sat down.
Zhou Yanzhi showed a pitiful smile: "Uncle, I have been kneeling for such a long time, do I still have to kneel?"
Zhou Xu said calmly: "What do you think?"
Zhou Yanzhi noticed the meaning of his uncle's words, and his heart trembled. He tensed up his skin and knelt there obediently. At the same time, he was a little panicked. This time, his uncle seemed to be quite angry.
"I heard Mr. Xu said that you skipped school this time."
Zhou Yanzhi shrunk even smaller and replied: "As for uncle, yes."
"Who inspired you to come to Taiyang?" Zhou Xu took a sip of tea and said in a calm voice, "I just want to hear the truth."
Zhou Yanzhi struggled for a long time, with cold sweat on his forehead. Knowing that he only had one chance, he finally said, "It's Mr. Shangguan."
Zhou Xu said: "Come when he asks you to come. Zhou Yanzhi, is the thing around your neck just a decoration?"
When Zhou Yanzhi heard his uncle's sarcastic words, his face turned red and he mustered up the courage to say: "Uncle, you don't know, now the whole Youzhou knows that there is a Mrs. Xiao next to you. If I don't come and see for myself, how can I rest assured?"
Zhou Xu smiled, but there was no smile on his face: "Then who are you worried about?"
Zhou Yanzhi's lips moved, but he finally lowered his head, full of grievances. Who else could he do for? Of course he did it for his cousin. His uncle had never been with women in recent years. When Zhou Yanzhi heard the news, he thought he was reporting a message. The man was telling a joke, but he didn't expect it to be true. Seeing that Mrs. Xiao was so favored, how could he still sit still.
"Since you don't want to go to school, just recuperate."
Zhou Yanzhi was shocked and turned pale. When he saw his uncle approaching with a whip, he backed away: "Uncle, I just hit that servant of the Lei clan."
Zhou Xu bent down, twisted Zhou Yanzhi's head to make him look directly at him, patted his face with a black whip, and narrowed his narrow eyes: "Aren't you demonstrating to Mrs. Xiao? Huh?"
Zhou Yanzhi's face was extremely pale, and he was trembling with fear. He knew that his uncle's black whip was different from ordinary whips. It contained extraterrestrial iron specially refined by the Gongsun family. It could break gold and stone. With his uncle's terrifying strength, he could whip it with just a few whips. , which can make people lose their human shape and separate their flesh and blood. It has always been my uncle's favorite thing.
"Uncle, uncle, I was wrong this time. I was really wrong. I won't dare to do it next time." Zhou Yanzhi didn't dare to hide, let alone run. He hugged his uncle's thigh and cried bitterly, facing a life-threatening crisis. In front of me, I knelt down neatly and begged without crying.
Zhou Xu turned a deaf ear, moved his wrist, and used less than half of his strength to whip a whip on his back.
Zhou Yanzhi was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak. He curled up into a shrimp, his back was covered in blood, and he soon passed out.
The young foreigner looked at Zhou Liulang, who was so powerful in Nanning not long ago, and now passed out like a dead dog, and lowered his head deeply.
Not long after, Lei Shan came in with someone and carried Zhou Liulang out.
Zhou Xu sat on the chair, put the black whip on the table, and then looked at the foreign boy.
The foreign boy's head bowed even further.
"How's it going with Aguma?" Zhou Xu asked.
The foreign boy replied: "Brother, he is returning to Yicheng to negotiate with the old king, hoping to get a satisfactory result."
Zhou Xu hummed and smiled at the foreign boy: "A Gu is my adopted son, and you are his younger brother, which is equivalent to my half-son. You don't have to be so reserved in front of me."
The foreign boy stood up respectfully: "Yes."
"Next time, don't kneel with Juliusho." Zhou Xu said, "Some people are born stupid, it doesn't make sense, they can't be taught, and they deserve to suffer more than others."
The foreign boy lowered his head and his cheeks twitched. He had not had much contact with the Jiedushi Master, but he never expected that the Jiedushi Master would be so selfless and ruthless when speaking to his own nephew.
"Just back off."
"yes."
The next day, Xiao Qingxue heard the news Fang Yun had inquired about and immediately stood up: "Really?"
Xiao Luolan's eyes also opened slightly.
"It's true. I heard from Mr. Lei Geli that Mr. Zhou was beaten badly." Fang Yun said in a low voice.
