Xin You hesitated for a while, but still called out to stop the person.
The reason was of course not that she was fascinated by the beauty of the man in red clothes, but that she saw it again.
Just now, she suddenly saw this man walking on the street. A flower pot fell from the sky, smashing his head and bleeding.
Xin You hesitated because she didn't know how to remind the other party, but since the other party acted righteously first, she couldn't just ignore him.
The man in red clothes frowned as he watched the girl getting closer and closer.
He seemed to smell a smell, as if--
A guess flashed through his mind, and the man in red's eyes darkened.
"What else can you do, girl?"
Xin You paused and heard a hint of coldness in the man in red's calm tone.
She didn't take it seriously.
It’s normal for others to be impatient if they don’t want to reveal their identities, and they want to leave but are stopped.
After thinking about it for a while, Xin You lowered her voice and asked, "Do righteous men believe in physiognomy?"
"Physiognomy?" The man in red clothes was stunned and took a deep look at Xin You.
He thought it was weird for a weak-looking girl to have that smell on her body, but he didn't expect her to be even weirder.
The man in red clothes caught a glimpse of the carriage from the corner of his eye, and added something in his mind: Oh, he was also riding in a carriage without a curtain.
Xin You was afraid that the other party would leave before she finished speaking, so she sped up her words and whispered: "I see that the Yintang Hall of the Righteous Soldiers is dark, and there may be a bloody disaster. It is best not to walk downstairs on the street recently to avoid disasters falling from the sky. .”
Xin You finished speaking in one breath, took two steps back and curtsied to the man in red clothes, and raised his voice: "My surname is Kou, and Duan Shaoqing of Taipu Temple is my uncle. I will bear in mind the kindness of the righteous men who saved me today."
Hearing Xin You announce her home, the man in red couldn't help but look at her one more time.
For a girl from a civil servant's palace, that would be even more strange.
"Miss Kou, don't take it to heart." Although he found it strange, the man in red clothes didn't intend to go into details. He responded politely and rode away.
Xin You stood where he was, looking at the leaving figure of the man in red and sighing inaudibly.
I don’t know if the other party listened to her words of pretending to be a magic stick.
At this moment, two guards came forward, and one of them couldn't help but said: "Cousin, why did you tell that person your identity-"
Xin You frowned: "That righteous man saved my life, and he didn't want to reveal his identity without repaying me. Is it possible that I, the rescued person, feel at ease and nothing happened?"
The two guards looked at each other, and the guard who spoke just now explained in a low voice: "Cousin, that's not what I mean, it's the identity of that person——"
He hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Another guard said: "That person's identity is not easy to offend."
"Do you know him?"
The two guards waved their hands together: "No, no, no -"
Facing Xin You's puzzled eyes, the guard subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice: "Young man, I have seen that man leading his men to take people. Did you see that man wearing red clothes? He is new to the job not long ago. The envoy of Jinlin Guard Town cannot be offended."
The other guard had a mysterious look on his face: "Not only can't you offend me, but you can't get close to him either. That one -"
"Ahem." The guard who spoke first gave his companion a tug.
The two guards stopped talking about the man in red clothes, and Xin You didn't ask any more questions.
Now that you know the other party's official position, it is not difficult to know the other party's identity. You don't have to ask the two guards.
"Cousin--" came the shout, the coachman was panting, he was running, "Are you okay?"
Xiaolian's face turned cold: "You still had the nerve to ask the girl if she was okay, how did you drive the cart? The horse pulling the cart was frightened and didn't say anything, but you jumped out of the car, not caring about the girl's life or death!"
The driver ran so hard that his hair fell apart, and he burst into tears after hearing this: "Old slave, I deserve to die. When I saw the ox cart coming from the other side, my mind went blank and I forgot everything..."
Xinyou ignored the coachman's explanation and walked towards the fallen horse.
That day, it was this horse that pulled her from the small mountain village to Shaoqing's mansion.
Even though she didn't understand horses, she knew that the horses pulling carts were docile. Miss Kou fell off the cliff first, and the health-promoting medicine turned into harmful medicine later. She did not think that this frightening of the horse was an accident.
And if it wasn't an accident, how did the mastermind frighten the horse?
Drugged? Or is the horse suddenly in pain?
Xinyou walked around the dead horse and stopped to observe carefully.
Seeing Xin You being like this, Xiao Lian didn't care about scolding the driver. She walked over quickly and asked in a low voice: "Girl, did you find something?"
"Cry." Xin You uttered one word softly.
Xiaolian was stunned, not understanding the meaning of these words.
"I cried when I fell off a cliff and frightened my horse." Xin You said softly and quickly, listening to the footsteps of the coachman approaching.
Although Xiaolian still didn't understand why she did this, the trust she had built up over the past few days made her cry loudly without hesitation.
"Cousin--" the coachman started to speak, but the rest of his words were suppressed by the sudden cry of the little maid.
The two guards were also stunned.
The passers-by who had stopped to watch the excitement due to frightened horses were about to disperse, but now they stopped moving.
You must listen to why this little maid is crying before leaving.
"My poor girl, I fell off a cliff while hiking with my cousins a few days ago, and managed to survive. Today, I encountered a frightened horse again when I went out. If the righteous man hadn't saved me, I would have collided with the bullock cart... "
"Xiaolian, don't cry anymore."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Xiaolian covered her face and looked into the pair of sad black eyes from between her fingers. She was so blessed that she understood Xinyou's intention, "Girl, you are the old lady's only granddaughter. If you Whatever the case, how sad would it be for the old lady to have to give away someone with gray hair to someone with black hair again..."
"Okay, I'm fine, don't cry anymore." Xinyou frowned, but felt relieved because of Xiaolian's tacit understanding.
In a short period of time, she would not be able to find out why the horse was frightened, and she would have no chance to find out when she returned to Shaoqing's mansion. The world is gossipy and suspicious, and when Xiaolian cries, someone will always think of a conspiracy. As long as there is such a rumor, the person who harmed Kou Qingqing will have to think twice before taking action again.
As for the faint stigma that this crying brought to Shaoqing's house, let's just think of it as collecting some interest for Miss Kou first.
"My maid is just afraid that something will happen to you again..." Xiao Lian hugged Xin You, and the other person's warm body temperature made her cry more and more realistically.
As for the impact that Xiaolian's crying would have on Shaoqing's Mansion, the coachman and the guards who were in the situation had not yet thought about it, and they only tried to persuade the master and servant to return home quickly.
"Going back." Without further delay, Xin You took Xiao Lian into the carriage that the guard rented at a high price from passers-by.
After they walked away, the onlookers curiously discussed Xin You's identity.
"As the girl just said, her surname is Kou, and Duan Shaoqing of Taipu Temple is her uncle."
"It turns out she's the cousin of Shaoqing's mansion. So what's going on with the white-haired person giving the black-haired person a gift?"
"I don't know. I'm not eye-catching in the Shaoqing's Mansion in the capital, so I don't pay any attention to him."
"Then ask around?"
"Walk."
