Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Chapter 23: Fate is connected

Ye Zhen wondered if she had treated him too well last time and caused him to misunderstand.

Li Xuan'an's hand froze between the two of them. Seeing that she was reluctant to take it, his eyes were as cold as extremely translucent black jade.

As expected, Ye Zhen's eyes were distant and sober when she looked at me. "The bracelet is too valuable. It is also Second Master's personal belonging. It is not appropriate to give it to me, and I dare not accept it."

Li Xuan'an's expression was also cold. "The Ningxiang Pills are for your health, but you don't want them. You don't want the bracelet either. Is it true that the Second Miss won't accept anything that belongs to me?"

Ye Zhen said in a deep voice, "Yes."

"That day under the crabapple tree, I made it clear that I don't want to have any contact with you anymore."

"You have done me justice. I am grateful in my heart. From now on, I will burn three sticks of incense every morning and evening to pray for your health."

"Second Master, you are so concerned about me that I am really scared."

She spoke thoroughly in one breath, each word was powerful and she expressed her attitude decisively.

She didn't know that so far she was the only one in the entire Great Zhou who could make Li Xuan speechless.

Li Xuan felt as if his chest was leaking air, and his black jade eyes seemed to have cracks, "Do you hate me?"

Ye Zhen couldn't answer.

She hated him the first time he broke into her room and fed her medicine, but when she later learned that he was the one in the attic that night, she felt that he was a double-faced person and it would be better for her not to have any contact with him.

But he repeatedly defended himself in front of Li Chengge, and Ye Zhen's heart softened, but she felt that he was also doing it for the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and himself.

But later he sent her expensive pills, and came in person because she lied about being sick... This made Ye Zhen a little overwhelmed.

She calmed down a bit, "If you are like this because of what happened in the attic that night, you don't have to take it to heart. I know you won't hurt me. I was just angry that day and threatened to ruin your reputation."

After hearing this, Li Xu'an's expression became more complicated, "I know."

"It was my fault that night in the attic. It was also my fault that I used your small clothes as a handkerchief. It was also my fault that I didn't want to return it to you."

He looked at Ye Zhen steadily, "If you hate me for this, I have no complaints. You can also expose my crimes to His Majesty or Master, and I will accept the punishment."

Ye Zhen frowned. Why did he say that? She was a woman, and she was not in a hurry to lose her innocence, but he kept pestering her.

"I also said that day, you and I should just forget about it, or just pretend it never happened." Ye Zhen said with some impatience.

Li Xuan said, "I can't forget it, but I can't pretend it never happened."

"Because of that joy, our destiny is connected."

When he said this, Ye Zhen's mood sank, and she felt a sense of crisis that she would be shackled for the rest of her life. "What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, I can only be well if you are well. If you are not well, I will not be well either."

Ye Zhen really hoped that he would talk about some Taoist theories that she couldn't understand, but he was too straightforward. She couldn't say that she didn't understand.

Seeing Li Xuan's sincere and determined eyes, she did not dare to doubt it at the moment. After all, he was not an ordinary Taoist priest. And that night, he reminded her to avoid Hongluo's tracking, which gave her time to make arrangements.

She has seen how to predict the future and avoid danger and seek good fortune.

"So the reason why Second Master did so much is actually because of this?"

Li Xuan nodded with great respect, "So you have to keep anything I give you, and if you feel unwell anywhere, only I can come and see you."

"It's not that I don't trust other doctors, but my status is special, and you are connected to my destiny. Even if the Second Miss is generous and doesn't pursue my crime of offending you, I can't really stop associating with you."

His expression was serious and his words were cautious, giving Ye Zhen a feeling that it couldn't be more real.

She took a deep breath and moved her mouth twice, but she really didn't know what to say.

As if knowing that she would have a hard time accepting it, Li Xuan explained very sensibly, "Don't worry, I won't bother you all the time, but I have to keep you updated on your situation."

"Just like when I came here today, I didn't notice anything unusual about your aura, but you called a doctor, so I had to come."

It sounded as if she was causing him trouble.

Ye Zhen felt that she needed some time to slowly digest and accept it. Li Xuan took advantage of her unpreparedness, pinched her slender arm and put the green rosary on her wrist.

The dark green color made her white wrists look even more delicate, and the cool touch made Ye Zhen tremble slightly.

Before she could struggle, Li Xuan said with his lips curled, "Your girl is back."

Ye Zhen immediately gave up the idea of ​​refusing, fearing that someone would see her struggling with him.

As expected, just as he finished speaking, Liuxia came back from the front yard, "Second Miss!"

This shout made Ye Zhen panic as if she had done something wrong. She used her sleeves to cover the beads, and tried to get further away from Li Xuan. However, she forgot that there was a staircase behind her, and she bumped into it when she stepped back. Naturally, her out-of-control body was held steadily by Li Xuan.

He pulled her into his arms, and she subconsciously grabbed his sleeve and threw herself into his arms.

Liuxia’s eyes were rounder than copper bells. What did she see?

The second master hugged the second lady!

In broad daylight!

She opened her mouth wide, but dared not utter a sound.

Ye Zhen just felt panicky and short of breath. She couldn't retreat or move forward. She couldn't push or not push.

Li Xuan was calm and composed. He helped her stand steadily with both hands, staring closely at the trembling eyelashes and red cheeks of the woman in his arms, and breathed softly on her head, "You are careless, what are you afraid of."

"I'm not afraid." Ye Zhen lost her confidence when she said the last word, because even she could hear her voice trembling.

Li Xuan'an uttered a light sound from his nose, "I am afraid. I am afraid that my luck will be hurt by this staircase."

A very low and soft breath came down, like a feather sweeping across the tip of the heart, and Ye Zhen's limbs became weak.

It was clearly a joke, but how could it make people blush so much?

Although Li Xuan was thin, he had a big frame. His back was facing Liuxia, just blocking the little movements between the two of them. Liuxia was also a little stupid. When she came to her senses, she coughed twice, intending to interrupt them.

"Ahem, Second Master, Second Miss, are you all right?"

Ye Zhen forced himself to calm down, and after standing firmly, he pushed Li Xuan with both hands inconspicuously, indicating that he should stand further away, but Li Xuan didn't understand.

She had no choice but to say, "Nothing. Have you done what I told you to do?"

Liuxia glanced at Li Xuan silently, and Ye Zhen understood, "Just speak frankly."

The implication is that there is no need to avoid Li Xuan.

Liuxia said, "I reminded the Third Miss as you instructed, but she refused to listen and had me kicked out."

Ye Zhen expected Ye Xue's reaction, and she didn't really want to remind Ye Xue, "There's nothing we can do if she doesn't want to listen. Have you told the housekeeper?"

Ye Zhen had to follow the process well so that she could clear herself of any trouble if it happened.

Liuxia nodded, "I have said that, the housekeeper said that he would go and persuade the Third Miss later."

"understood."

Liuxia always felt that the atmosphere between her young lady and the second master was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what it was.

She said kindly, "I will go make tea for the Second Master and some red date cakes."

"No···"

"it is good."

Li Xuan'an's voice drowned out Ye Zhen, half of his body blocked her, his bright eyes facing Liuxia, "One piece is fine."

Liuxia went to the kitchen happily. Erye liked the date cake she made, so would it be more convenient to ask him for amulets in the future?

Ye Zhen looked at her useless little girl, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Li Xuan said leisurely, "Your third sister claims to be smart, but she is no match for you with just a few tricks."

Ye Zhen had not yet come out of the four words "fate connected" and seeing him half-smile, she thought of the scene that Liuxia had just seen and didn't know whether she was angry with herself or him, so she said angrily, "Second Master is worried that the Marquis' Mansion will be embarrassed, just tell the general."

She didn't even realize that her words contained some coquettish and fearless tone.

What was even more unexpected was that Li Xuan said very calmly, "This is what you deserve, brother."

"The universe is dark and dark, and karma is cyclical. Everything has its own cause and effect. How can I interfere with the karma of others?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen's gaze became even brighter.

Li Xuan naturally sat on the stone bench where he sat last time, his whole body glowing, "You are helping him to eliminate his bad karma, he should be grateful for your hard work."

Ye Zhen: “!”
