Xu Nuo only came out for a while, and her hair was already covered with snowflakes. Fang Jing brushed it off for her naturally, and said gently: "I entered Beijing yesterday, and when I learned that you were here, I came over to take a look. [Read the full text ]"
He had always spoken very little, but it was different for Xu Liuniang.
Xu Nuo felt a little uncomfortable with Fang Jing's behavior. He was about to turn his head to avoid it, but when he looked up, he saw a layer of frost on his eyebrows and eyelashes. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said, "Brother Jingping, could it be that he's been in the snow?" One night? Come inside and warm up."
Fang Jing was such a sensitive person. Even though Xu Nuo hid his emotions very well, he still noticed her alienation.
He shook his head slightly and said softly: "I am relieved that you are living well in the Xu family now, but now is different from the past. I can no longer enter your house. I will stay in the capital until after the new year. If you need anything, Just tell July."
ah?
July?
Fang Jing seemed to see Xu Nuo's confusion and explained: "I was worried that you would be bullied in the Xu family, so I asked Qiyue to go to you. Although she can't help much, she is very smart and can keep you safe."
The promise in his eyes was still the taciturn and simple-minded Xu Liuniang. Having a lively maid like Qiyue beside her was a great help.
Many emotions were mixed in Xu Nuo's heart for a moment, and she didn't know what to answer.
Is Qiyue actually from Fang Jing?
She trusted Qi Qi and even told her frankly that she had no amnesia. She also asked her to go to Tiansheng Gambling House many times. But now this is the situation!
Having been by her side for nearly a year in July, he would definitely notice the difference between her and Xu Liuniang.
Originally Qi Qi was a maid. Even if she has doubts in her heart, she won't worry too much, because as long as she can guarantee her loyalty to her own people, that's enough.
It depends on the current situation. How about loyalty?
When Fang Jing saw that Xu Nuo was silent, he didn't speak and waited for her quietly.
It wasn't until he noticed another layer of snow falling on Xu Nuofa's shoulders that it took a while that he said: "It's cold outside, go back to the house."
Xunuo reacted, nodded and said: "Yes."
The two of them headed towards Mingjin Pavilion, one high and the other low.
At the courtyard gate, I just said "Come in" and "Be careful" and quickly said goodbye. Go in both directions.
Xu Nuo shared the door and took a deep breath.
Her reaction when she first saw Fang Jing was not because of his demeanor or appearance, but because of the inexplicable apologies and a trace of fear that emerged in her heart.
No matter who Fang Jing sees her as, he only sees the Xu Liuniang of the past in his heart. That special existence was not her but Xu Liuniang from the past.
His tenderness and concern did not belong to her.
Now that she has taken possession of this body, should she confess to him that she is not Xu Liu Niang?
After a long silence just now, she finally chose not to say anything. Although Fang Jing is trustworthy. But she couldn't say anything about time travel. If she did, she would be betraying herself.
After all, time travel is something even more bizarre than the theory of ghosts and gods.
On the eaves in the distance, a dark figure stood.
Xiao Yuan, dressed in a black outfit, stood still, with a thick layer of snow on his head and shoulders, looking here from a distance.
Senior brother came to see her as soon as he entered Beijing.
Her weight in senior brother's heart seemed to be greater than he imagined.
He had been looking for his senior brother for two years in accordance with Liu Xiuyi's order. During this period, he met several times but failed to bring his senior brother back to the palace due to various reasons.
However, there was a good opportunity just now.
If he suddenly appeared in the scene just now, to promise her position in the heart of the senior brother, the senior brother would protect her reputation. She would follow him into the palace without him having to say anything. And Liu Xiuyi can sit in that position as soon as possible, and he can completely get rid of this kind of life of eating, drinking, teasing and pretending to be a rich man.
But he didn't want to take advantage of the promise. I don’t want to threaten senior brother through this method.
He can be thoughtful, but when it comes to promises, he hopes to be simple and pure.
What's more, his liberation requires the sacrifice of his senior brother, and he needs to put various invisible chains on his senior brother.
He has known since he was a child that his senior brother loves freedom the most and does not want to be bound by anything, otherwise he would not have given up such a great opportunity.
He is Liu Xiuyi's dagger, a sharp weapon of resentment stained with blood. Living in darkness and living in a swamp, I couldn't extricate myself, so I envied my clean senior brother.
Perhaps it was because of his understanding of his senior brother that he never completed Liu Xiuyi's order?
Or maybe he secretly knew that after Liu Xiuyi took that position, he would become even more shady and have more difficult things to deal with?
Is there no chance of taking off this mask?
If he doesn't take off the mask, he won't be able to see Xu Nuo openly.
Xiao Yuan watched Xu Nuo enter the house, patted the snow on his shoulders, and turned to leave.
Xu Nuo entered the house, threw off his shoes, quickly took off his bedclothes, and immediately got into the warm bed.
As promised, Mrs. Lu also brought the plaque from the Suzhou courtyard to Bianjing, because it was a calligraphy treasure from her family's master's youth, and she could not leave the old house alone.
After all the maids and wives in the courtyard woke up, Xu Nuo put on a cloak and went to Yingcheng Courtyard to say hello. On the way back, she opened Chun Tang and said to Qi Qi without hesitation: "Brother Jingping has returned to Beijing. .”
When Qi Qi heard this, his palm-sized face suddenly became bloodless, and he was about to kneel down as soon as his knees became weak.
After Xu Nuo saw her reaction, he knew that what Fang Jing said was true, and felt a little cold for some reason.
The person she trusted so much actually kept it from her from the beginning. Even if it was for her own good, she didn't want to be deceived.
There is no difference between a white lie and a lie in her mind.
When Qi Qiu was about to kneel down, she was supported by a pair of slender and strong hands. She raised her head, with tears already shining in her eyes: "Madam, I shouldn't hide this from you." But I have never done anything sorry to you.
Xu Nuo withdrew his hand, inserted it into his cuffs again, and then said: "Tell me, if the reason is not sufficient, I will not forgive you, and of course I cannot lie."
After saying that, she walked away. No one could lie from her eyes. Qi Qi knew this very well, so she didn't worry about what lies Qi Qi would make up to deceive her.
Qi Qi forced the tears from her eyes and caught up with Xu Nuo. After she entered the house and took off her cloak for Xu Nuo, she said: "When I was young, I lost my father and my mother, and was sold to a brothel. I escaped with my cleverness. It was the severe winter at that time. , the little one was hungry and cold, and fainted in the street. It was Fang Langjun who rescued the little one. Later, he asked a friend of his to take him in. When his wife returned to the Xu Mansion last year, Fang Langjun Let the young one come to the house and be my lady’s maid.”
Xunuo sat by the charcoal stove with his shoulders hunched, looking at Qi Qi's expression carefully with bright eyes, and nodded for her to continue.
Qi Qiyue saw that Xu Nuo was a little cold, so she hurriedly stood up and poured a cup of hot water for Xu Nuo before saying, "It took me a while to get into Xu's house, and it took a lot of effort to become my lady's maid."
