The little nun came to the door, and Mr. Xiao coaxed her softly and took her life
Chapter 74 Don't Be Afraid, I'm Here
Before leaving, Zhao Junqing added Xiao Shiyu on WeChat, saying that they could communicate at any time in the future.
A rack was set up in the Xiao family's yard to roast venison. Nan Xuanwei talked about what she encountered during this program, especially those greedy villagers and village chiefs who actually wanted the land to serve them for free for generations.
"The human heart is really scary. Once desires arise, it is difficult to control them. Taoist temples are still better." The days there are pure and simple.
"You got into trouble this time when you participated in the show, did you know that?" Xiao Shiyu sat next to Nan Xuanwei without knowing when.
"Impossible! Is it wrong for me to catch bad guys?"
"Let Wei Zhaotang pretend to be the groom. He might be kneeling on the washboard at home right now!"
"No way, everyone can see that I got married to him in a fake marriage just to save him. How about I go to his house and explain it?"
Xiao Shiyu turned the venison leisurely: "There was also a person from the special case team at that time, and he was unmarried. Why didn't you pretend to be the bride and groom with him?"
"He's too incompetent to help at all. Although Captain Wei couldn't help either, at least he could lend a hand."
Xiao Qingyan asked her where she had been during the time she disappeared on the bridge. When the Xiao family heard the word "ghost den", they were confused. Nan Xuanwei helped them understand the levels of ghosts and the system of the underworld. Xiao Qingyan looked longing: "When are you going to the underworld to play? Take me for a tour!"
"Kid, is that a place that a living person can go casually? We don't have Weiwei's ability, so we'd better stay at home!" Lu Yuning slapped her daughter.
"It's best for living people not to get involved in places like that. It will bring bad luck and turn you into a ghost-attracting physique. We have to perform rituals and chant spells every time we come back from a trip there."
While eating barbecue, Nan Xuanwei noticed that Xiao Shiyu had changed into a light purple shirt with two buttons open. It was obvious that he had dressed up deliberately: "Xiao Shiyu, do you have a date tonight?"
"Have I looked better today?"
It was indeed very good-looking, and it was a bit attractive to get closer. With such a handsome guy sitting next to her, Nan Xuanwei was no exception. She rested her chin on her hand and replied honestly with two words: "It's good-looking!"
"Than before you left the Xiao family?"
“Is this a necessary comparison?”
"Yes, because a little girl praised me for my good looks on the show."
Nan Xuanwei had long forgotten about this. Xiao Qingyan, who was standing by, handed her phone to her friend, and the video playing on it was the recording of her participation in a program two days ago.
"Did I say that?" How could I say that? Now that there was physical evidence in front of me, it would probably be useless to change my statement.
"Okay, let's eat barbecue. If you don't eat it, you'll get old."
While eating, Xiao Qingyan mentioned that there would be an auction tomorrow night, with jade, relics, and a set of extremely expensive jadeite. It was said that there was also a Sanskrit book that no one could understand until now: "You missed the last auction, you must go this time!"
"Qingyan and I want to buy the jadeite and give it to grandma on her birthday. You can go and help take a look at it." Then it will be considered a gift from the three of them.
"Okay, I also want to prepare a gift for Grandma Xiao. I will go to the alchemy room the day after tomorrow." Soon it will be the day when she will meet the mastermind behind the imprisonment of the half-grown child. Nan Xuanwei plans to refine a furnace of elixirs as bait. This matter also needs to be notified to Wei Zhaotang. If she catches the person, she will have no right to deal with it.
The next day, when Nan Xuanwei woke up, she saw a lot of dresses, jewelry, shoes and bags, and the styling team was already waiting in the living room.
"Do I need to dress up to attend an auction? How about I dress up as a bodyguard?" Nan Xuanwei really doesn't like wearing formal attire.
Xiao Qingyan chose a strapless dress for herself, and Nan Xuanwei chose an improved version of the cheongsam with a shawl on the upper body. The only drawback was that the slit was a bit large.
The auction was held at six o'clock in the evening. Nan Xuanwei and Xiao Qingyan rode in the same car with Xiao Shiyu. After getting in the car, Xiao Shiyu asked someone to bring two pieces of clothing, one of which was draped over his sister's shoulders and the other was covered on Nan Xuanwei's legs.
"I'm not cold!" Nan Xuanwei took off her clothes, deliberately exposing a part of her legs, and did not forget to tilt her head to glance at Xiao Shiyu provocatively.
It still has to be Weiwei. Xiao Qingyan shrank her neck when she saw her brother trying to suppress his anger. She didn't have the courage to do that.
"If you don't listen to me, I will tell everyone that we slept together that night. Then my grandfather will definitely propose marriage to your master. Once I have legal status, I will be qualified to control you, right?" Xiao Shiyu whispered in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Absolutely not! Nan Xuanwei covered her legs in a panic and looked at Xiao Shiyu with horror. He actually threatened her with that incident!
"What are you two whispering about, brother? Look how scared you are of Weiwei."
"Be good and obedient in the future and I won't scare her anymore."
After finally reaching the auction site, Nan Xuanwei got out of the car and walked around to Xiao Qingyan's side, holding her arm, and did not forget to explain to Xiao Shiyu: "This will cover your legs."
Is it so terrible to marry him? How many women in the imperial capital fought so hard to get into the Xiao family but couldn't find a chance, but she avoided him like a snake and scorpion. For the first time, Xiao Shiyu began to doubt her own charm.
He walked in front, with Xiao Qingyan and Nan Xuanwei three steps behind.
Their seats were in the first row. A waiter brought a list of items to be auctioned tonight, along with a detailed description. Nan Xuanwei lowered her head and slowly flipped through the pages. There were introductions in traditional Chinese characters, so she didn't need to trouble the Xiao brothers and sisters to act as translators.
"This booklet..." is a pill recipe, but it looks a little incomplete.
"Do you want it?" Xiao Shiyu asked when he saw that she was interested.
“Does it cost a lot of money to take this photo?”
"You've already given me a gift, so I'll take a picture of this and give it to you."
If the money for bidding for the pill formula is not enough, you can ask Jun Yue and the second senior brother for help. Nan Xuanwei now wants to solve another matter: "Promise me not to mention that matter in the future. I promise not to wear too revealing clothes in the future, okay!"
"If you keep your word, I promise not to mention it."
"Shiyu is also here to attend the auction. Is there anything he's interested in? This lady is so beautiful, is she Qingyan's friend?" Ling Qifan has a good relationship with Xiao Shiyu and they also have some investment dealings. He knows that he wants to bring him and Ling Ruoxuan together.
The circle of wealthy families is so small, if they were interested in each other, they would have done it long ago. Xiao Shiyu is not interested in rich girls like Ling Ruoxuan and Zhao Wanxin at all.
"The little girl is the daughter of an old friend of my grandfather, and is a distinguished guest of our Xiao family." Xiao Shiyu nodded to Ling Qifan's wife.
Xiao Qingyan pulled Nan Xuanwei up and said, "These two are the young master and young lady of the Ling family, and this is my good friend Zhu Weiwei."
"Hello!" Nan Xuanwei greeted them lightly, glanced at the door, and saw a very clear line of kinship on the head of the man coming in.
Xiao Shiyu followed her gaze, his eyes slightly cold. He took Nan Xuanwei's hand and comforted her with his eyes: Don't be afraid, I'm here!
