Xiao Qingxue, who was hiding her worries, came to see her mother as soon as she had eaten. She also made excuses to let Granny Cui out of her mother's room without taking Fang Yun with her.
Xiao Luolan was leaning against the window, embroidering, preparing to get a handkerchief for her daughter, when she saw her closing the door mysteriously.
"Auntie, I have something to ask you." Xiao Qingxue said seriously.
Xiao Luolan put down the veil and asked her daughter to sit across from her: "What's the matter?"
"Are you and Sect Leader Zhou talking?"
Xiao Luolan didn't expect her daughter to ask this question, her heart skipped a beat, and she thought someone else was gossiping in front of her daughter.
"I saw you and Sect Master Zhou drinking tea today." Xiao Qingxue was a little jealous.
"Just drinking tea, Sect Leader Zhou and Granny Cui's younger brother Cui Langjun are discussing things." Xiao Luolan said.
"Then you really don't have anything?" Xiao Qingxue asked.
Xiao Luolan thought of her plan and didn't know how to answer. Are you tempted? She didn't either, but for the safety of their mother and daughter, she had to respond to Sect Master Zhou, and her daughter would find out sooner or later.
"I…"
"Auntie, Master Zhou is an ancient man. He must have been married and had children at that age..." Xiao Qingxue was very worried.
"He said he didn't have a legal wife." Xiao Luolan said quickly. She didn't want to leave a bad impression on her daughter.
When Xiao Qingxue heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she said angrily: "You still say you have nothing to do with you. You even know that Sect Leader Zhou has no real wife, and you still want to hide it from me."
Xiao Luolan felt bitter in her heart. She held her daughter's hand, covered up her thoughts and said, "Just don't blame mom."
When Xiao Qingxue heard her mother's words, her little flame went out immediately: "Mom, I don't blame you." Xiao Qingxue and her mother crowded together and sat on the couch: "If you like Clan Master Zhou and Clan Master Zhou likes you, then... That’s great, I’m not a child.”
"It's just in the discussion stage, everything has not been settled yet." Xiao Luolan whispered to her daughter: "Qingxue, don't tell Sect Master Zhou about my divorce for the time being."
Xiao Qingxue blinked in confusion, not understanding why her mother did this.
"Do you understand?" Xiao Luolan looked at her daughter seriously. Seeing her daughter nodding obediently, she held her daughter in her arms.
Xiao Luolan was not sure whether Sect Master Zhou was sincere to her. Some men pursue married women because of the taboo and excitement of married women. Without this identity, everything would be boring.
Xiao Luolan didn't know if Sect Leader Zhou was like this, but she didn't dare to bet because she didn't have any chips.
That's why she has to maintain her status as a married woman.
"By the way, Aniang, let me tell you something." Xiao Qingxue remembered the purpose of her visit and told her mother everything Tuoba Mu told her in the afternoon.
Xiao Qingxue crossed her arms: "I knew that Zhou Shiliu was not a good person."
Xiao Luolan was stunned for a moment when he heard the news.
Xiao Qingxue was very angry, and the most important thing was a little aggrieved: "If Zhou Shiliu sends that woman to Clan Master Zhou, and Clan Master Zhou accepts it, mom, promise me not to talk to Clan Master Zhou."
Xiao Luolan nodded: "I know."
After her daughter went out, Xiao Luolan looked at the embroidered handkerchief in trance.
She didn't step out of the room until the moon was at its peak.
Xiao Luolan looked at the crescent moon in the sky and continued to embroider handkerchiefs for her daughter with her head lowered. She would not go to see the woman Zheng Douzhi brought, nor would she go to see Sect Master Zhou. There are some things that have a first time and a second time. , she has no ability to change a person.
And her self-esteem couldn't let her go to Sect Leader Zhou.
Xiao Luolan used cyan silk thread to embroider the snowflake petals. The embroidery skills were taught to her by Granny Cui. After embroidering a few times, she started to feel more sophisticated.
The door creaked open.
Xiao Luolan's embroidery hand paused, and she looked at Sect Leader Zhou.
When Zhou Xu came in, he saw Mrs. Xiao looking at him by the window, her eyes filled with autumn water and covered with moonlight.
"What are you embroidering?" Zhou Xu strode over and sat on the couch, skillfully holding Mrs. Xiao in his arms and letting her sit on his lap.
"Handkerchief." Xiao Luolan replied.
Zhou Xu held Mrs. Xiao's hand: "Madam, you are so skillful with your hands. Please make me a sachet when you have time."
Xiao Luolan nodded and said: "If Sect Leader Zhou doesn't mind, I will make two more in the future."
Zhou Xu smiled: "How could you dislike it? It's all Madam's wish. It's not too late to like her." After saying that, he kissed her gently.
Xiao Luolan only smelled the faint aroma of mugwort from Sect Master Zhou. She closed her eyes, but she couldn't forget those words in her mind, and her body stiffened.
Zhou Xu kissed for a while and stopped.
Xiao Luolan opened her eyes tremblingly and found that the smile on Zhou Zongzhu's face had also faded. He looked at her with a very calm expression. Then the next second, Zhou Zongzhu lowered his head and continued to kiss her.
Zhou Xu didn't slowly let go of Mrs. Xiao until her cheeks were flushed and she couldn't breathe.
He bit his bloody cherry lips and said with a smile, "Why are you so resistant to me tonight, madam?"
Xiao Luolan gasped for air, her tears filled with a hint of fear. She almost thought she was going to lose oxygen just now.
Sect Master Zhou kissed her very fiercely, with terrible greed.
Zhou Xu touched Mrs. Xiao's face and felt her flinch. There was obviously fear in her eyes. She was afraid but did not dare to refuse his approach. The moonlight was bright, and the red rope at the intersection was looming.
Zhou Xu took out the purple-red pottery whistle with one finger. It was shaped like a bird and the workmanship was very rough.
Xiao Luolan reached out to stop him, wanting to take the Tao whistle back.
Zhou Xu looked at the pottery whistle, which was still stained with Mrs. Xiao's warmth and had a faint fragrance.
Xiao Luolan didn't understand what Sect Master Zhou was doing with the Tao Whistle, and it was worthless. She pursed her lips and felt a numb and tingling sensation on her lips and tongue: "Sect Master Zhou, give it back to me."
Zhou Xu had a red rope wrapped around his hand and smiled ruthlessly: "If you want, Mrs. Xiao, give me a kiss."
Xiao Luolan looked at Tao Shao who was wandering around, put his hand on Sect Leader Zhou's shoulder, and kissed his face.
Then looked at him.
The smile on Zhou Xu's face became even weaker.
Xiao Luolan didn't understand what she had done wrong. She was a little afraid of Sect Leader Zhou like this, so she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
Zhou Xu raised Mrs. Xiao's face, allowing her pretty face to be completely exposed to the moonlight by the window. Her thin eyebrows were slightly frowned and her cherry lips were red and swollen.
"Madam, don't you even know how to use people?"
Xiao Luolan's eyes widened and she looked at Sect Master Zhou in disbelief. What did he mean?
Zhou Xu smiled and joked: "Isn't it? Isn't Madam using me?"
Xiao Luolan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, trembling all over as she looked at the smiling Sect Leader Zhou, speechless.
Zhou Xu gently kissed the tears from the corners of Mrs. Xiao's eyes, and his voice was as gentle as ever: "Why are you crying?"
Xiao Luolan's mind went blank, she just felt that this man was so scary, he had always known it! Know her thoughts! And she thought she had deceived him!
"Madam doesn't know how to do it, I'll teach her how to use me." Zhou Xu smiled and said, "Teach her step by step how to use me."
Zhou Xu lowered his head and kissed the tip of Mrs. Xiao's translucent ear, and said in a calm voice: "That's the first step."
"Don't reject me."
Xiao Luolan lay softly in the arms of Sect Leader Zhou, like a frightened bird.
Chapter 45
The Zhuhonglou boat was sailing on the vast river with a banner with the word "You" on it. It was moving very fast in the night, paddling through the water and making a splashing sound.
The tallest building is brightly lit, with warm-colored lanterns hanging in rows on the eaves, swaying in the breeze, as if competing with the silver moon in the sky. The best room on the upper floor ship, except for the main room where Zhou Xu is, is adjacent to the main room. The adjacent guest room on the south side is spacious and the largest in area except the main room. It is ventilated on the east and west sides, and you can also see the river view from the window.
The moonlight shines on the river, like broken silver paving the floor. The carved windows are wide open, and the faint moonlight shines on the two people on the couch.
Xiao Luolan's eyes were full of mist, and Zhou Xu still held Mrs. Xiao and asked her to sit on his lap.
After saying that, he kept playing with Mrs. Xiao's hand until the soft white fingertips turned red, then he put the whistle in her hand: "Put it on, after all. It was given to Madam by Miss Xiao."
Xiao Luolan's hand was rubbed red by Clan Leader Zhou's hand, and her palm was hot and slightly painful. She suddenly came into contact with the cold Tao whistle and shivered. She only came back a little when she heard Clan Master Zhou mention her daughter's name. god.
Xiao Luolan hung it around her neck, trembling in her heart, feeling like she was walking on thin ice. She was mostly afraid of what Sect Master Zhou said. She didn't believe that a person with Sect Master Zhou's personality could not be angry after finding out that she was being used.
She was more inclined to think that he was already angry. Xiao Luolan bit her lip tightly, feeling that she had made a serious mistake, that is, she had underestimated Zhou Zongzhu's acumen again. When did he discover it?
Zhou Xu only noticed the red silk rope falling along the collar. The whistle suddenly landed after passing an extremely high place. The bird-shaped whistle swayed a few times.
Zhou Xu stared at the little bird whistle and couldn't move his eyes away. He actually didn't care about using it. After looking at it for a while, he touched Mrs. Xiao's cheek and found that her face was a little pale: "Are you scared by me? "
Xiao Luolan raised her head slightly and looked at Sect Master Zhou. His beard was cleanly shaven, and the hand holding her waist was not strong, but the smile on the corner of his lips made her whole body tremble uncontrollably.
Under those narrow eyes, all his thoughts seemed to be invisible.
Xiao Luolan was afraid of this feeling.
She is not smart, and her only advantage is that Sect Master Zhou is still interested in her. After all, on the other hand, he did not do anything to her after being found to be taking advantage of her, he just asked her not to reject him.
It was Xiao Luolan who was a little afraid of him from the bottom of her heart. She didn't dare to look into Sect Master Zhou's eyes. When she heard his question, she just hummed in a low voice in response.
What she said was not a lie, because she was indeed frightened by what Sect Leader Zhou said tonight, and even now, her legs are still weak.
Zhou Xu lowered his head and kissed her. This time, he felt that Mrs. Xiao's body was very soft. She was no longer stiff and resistant as before. In his arms, she felt like a pool of spring water, which could melt almost everything. This time, Zhou Xu also kissed her more passionately. With an obvious sense of comfort.
"Open your eyes and look at me." Zongzhu Zhou's voice was a little blurry. Xiao Luolan slowly opened his eyes. The beads on his eyelashes trembled and rolled down. Zhou Xu sucked them clean. It was a little cold and a little salty. , he stood up suddenly and hugged Mrs. Xiao, walked to the bed and put her on the bed.
Xiao Luolan didn't dare to make any move this time.
The curtains around the bed were fluttering down. Zhou Xu gently stroked her back with his hands, one after another without making any excessive movements. Xiao Luolan's extremely tight heartstrings could not help but feel a little relaxed. She With his eyes lowered, he lay on Sect Master Zhou's body, covered with a thin quilt. After a while, his cheeks were red from the heat, his temples were damp, and he was covered in sweat.
Zhou Xu patted Mrs. Xiao's back one after another, feeling the fragrance of the ice-cold flesh running through her bones. Mrs. Xiao was huddled in his arms dripping with sweat, like a handful of soft snow.
The flesh on his body seemed to have no bones, and was so soft and plump that it almost seemed to sink in and flow out. Zhou Xu had never been so fascinated by a woman.
"I want to kiss you."
Xiao Luolan straightened up slightly and looked at Clan Master Zhou. The hand she placed on Clan Master Zhou's chest was shaking violently, and her cheeks were on fire. Clan Master Zhou seemed to be asking her, but he was just asking her.
The next day, Xiao Luolan woke up before dawn. The room was very quiet. She could even hear the sound of the river flowing outside. On the contrary, the voice of the person next to her pillow was almost silent. Sect Master Zhou held her in his arms and held her in his arms. Holding her waist, she was still asleep.
Xiao Luolan just looked at the cloud patterns on Zongzhu Zhou's inner clothes and remained silent.
"Why don't you sleep for a while?" Zhou Xu patted Mrs. Xiao's back through the thin quilt.
Xiao Luolan's heart skipped a beat, but she clearly didn't make any sound.
