I, the orphan of a traitor, is in demand

Yi Xuan just smiled and remained silent for a while, Yi Xuan said: "Yiqiu, you have to remember that there is me behind you, so you don't have to worry about other things in the future. Do what you want to do, don't force what you don't want to do, in this world No one can force you."

These words sound really sweet, and I also know that behind the sweetness is Yi Xuan alluding to Xia Nianzhen just now.I laughed twice, and said haha: "Yixuan, you treat me like this, have you ever imagined that if one day, I mean, if you and I are fighting each other, what will you do?"

Yi Xuan took out from his bosom the paper that I had signed and affixed, and shook it in front of my eyes: "Here is the paper, as long as Yi Qiu doesn't leave me, there will be no tit-for-tat day between us."

I said, "What if I don't recognize the written evidence?"

Yi Xuan folded the paper, put it in his arms, looked at me and said quietly: "Then I don't care, anyway, I admit it. If you leave me alone and go away, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and catch you back." , locked in the house, watching you every day, so that you have nowhere to escape."

"You're obviously playing tricks." I was a little bit dissatisfied, thinking that his abacus was too precise.

"If Yiqiu breaks his promise, I will play tricks." Yi Xuan stepped forward and kissed me on the cheek: "If Yiqiu is not convinced, shall we fight for another [-] rounds?" Thinking about it, there was nothing to do, and Yi Xuan's arrogance was gone. Being so arrogant, I responded, "Don't be reckless if you lose?"

"Whoever blames is a puppy." Yi Xuan put Qin aside and brought the chessboard.At first Yi Xuan had the upper hand, I don't know if he wanted me on purpose or what, but then Yi Xuan gradually fell into a disadvantage.When I was thinking about how to make Yi Xuan lose decently, that girl Qian Luo came into the room and saluted: "My lord, my son, the table is ready, the princess invites you to eat."

Yi Xuan's face changed a bit, I put the chess pieces back into the chess box, and joked with a fake smile: "Yi Xuan's chess skills are very good, such a game will not trouble you." Yi Xuan also threw back the chess pieces in his hand He opened the chess box: "I just hope that Yiqiu will be merciful and don't let me lose too badly."

I smiled and said: "You might as well keep this round, and we can decide the outcome when we have time." Yi Xuan smiled and got up to pull me, Qian Luo stepped aside.When I went out, it was dusk.I used to think time was passing slowly, and now I think time is passing too fast, man, it's always so fickle.

Just passing through the corridor, I saw Xia Nianzhen standing in front of the hall.When Yi Xuan and I walked to the front of the hall, Xia Nianzhen saluted: "My lord." Yi Xuan responded with a straight face, and when I wanted to salute Xia Nianzhen, Yi Xuan pulled me into the room.Xia Nianzhen's face was calm, as if he was surprised by Yi Xuan's behavior and disappeared.

Yi Xuan sat on top, and Xia Nianzhen and I sat on his left and right sides.The table is full of delicacies, apart from some rare delicacies from mountains and seas, there are three other dishes that Yi Xuan once burned a kitchen to cook: tenderloin, shredded chicken with sauce, and hoof flower soup.

Xia Nianzhen looked at me with a smile and said: "I remember that both you and the prince like these dishes, but I don't know..."

"Xia Nianzhen!" Yi Xuan's tone was very annoying, quite warning.Xia Nianzhen stopped talking, turned to look at Yi Xuan, pretending to be panicked, and then hurriedly shouted: "I made a slip of the tongue, my lord, don't blame me."

Remember, although the two words are short, I already understand the meaning.Earlier, Yi Xuan also said that we knew each other, but I still don't understand how I, a commoner, could be involved with the royal family.I looked at Xia Nianzhen, the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little weird.I turned my eyes to look at Yi Xuan again, there seemed to be a layer of frost on his face.Qian Luo winked at the girl behind Yi Xuan, and the three of them all stepped forward with bowls in front of them to serve Yi Xuan and Xia Nianzhen.

I picked up the spoon to scoop up the soup and drank it slowly, Xia Nianzhen also began to pick up the vegetables and chewed slowly, Yi Xuan didn't move his chopsticks.Xia Nianzhen looked at Yi Xuan, took a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, said with a smile: "My lord, there is no poison in this dish."

Yi Xuan was silent for a while before slowly picking up the chopsticks. I buried my head in drinking my soup and didn't care about Yi Xuan and Xia Nianzhen.The atmosphere in the room was terribly cold and terribly quiet, and I seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat of the little girl beside me.

Xia Nianzhen suddenly said: "Young Master Dai, don't be too polite, we are now a family. Although I am one or two years younger than you, if you need my help, please feel free to ask."

I agreed and said nothing more.Yi Xuan's expression was very cold, Xia Nianzhen only looked at him and smiled.The room fell silent again, Qianluo stepped forward to pick up food for Yi Xuan, Yi Xuan raised his hand, Qianluo retreated knowingly.

One of Yi Xuan and Xia Nianzhen was angry and the other was happy, and it was very uncomfortable for me to be caught in the middle.I wanted to take this opportunity of having dinner to ask Xia Nianzhen what he said earlier, but now it seems that I have no choice but to give up.Seeing Yi Xuan put down the chopsticks, I put down the chopsticks too.Xia Nianzhen said: "You have to eat enough."

I said: "I'm full, thank you, Princess."

Yi Xuan said: "Yiqiu, go back and have a rest first."

Yi Xuan didn't intend to leave, so I got up and walked out of the house slowly.Xia Nianzhen's mocking voice came from the room, I thought to myself that they should not quarrel.Wen Lan, who was waiting outside the door, accompanied me back to Liuwen Pavilion, thinking that Wen Lan hadn't eaten yet, so I sent him away.

I just heard Xia Nianzhen's words, and Yi Xuan's initial actions, now that I think about it carefully, Yi Xuan and I should have known each other a long time ago.While guessing wildly, a little girl came into the room with a cup of hot tea and said, "Mr. Dai, this is the newly picked Dongting tea from Shangxi Yao Town this year. You can try it." The little girl brought the tea to me, and I said Thank you.

The aroma of this tea is very clear, and the tea color is emerald green.I looked at the girl and said, "This Dongting tea is produced in the Dongting area of ​​Taihu Lake in Suzhou, not Shangxi."

The smile on the little girl's face spread like ripples on the lake: "The princess told me that this Dongting tea was produced in Shangxi, how could I make a mistake? Presumably Mr. Dai misremembered the place."

My limbs were slightly stiff, I didn't know what to say, the little girl smiled and saluted and retreated.As soon as the girl left, Yi Xuan entered the room. Although he had a bit of embarrassment on his face, he was much better than before.

I put down the teacup in my hand, Yi Xuan walked to my side, and the three servants brought some side dishes and some minced meat porridge into the house.Yi Xuan said: "I just saw that you didn't move your chopsticks much, let's eat some more now."

I had no appetite, so I had to decline.Yi Xuan didn't force it, the servants removed the vegetables and food, and soon brought the daily soup and medicine.After the decoction enters the stomach, the more bitter it feels in the heart.Yi Xuan sat in my room for a while and then left. I could see that he seemed to have something to say to me, but every time he met my eyes, he swallowed the words back.I don't know the reason for this, logically speaking, he is a respected Seventh Prince, so he shouldn't have so many scruples.

Early the next morning, Xia Nianzhen took her little girl and servant back home.After all, she is also a princess, so I should go and see her off, but I was dragged back by Yi Xuan just as I walked to the gate of the courtyard.I didn't argue with him either, Xia Nianzhen didn't want to see me either.

After Xia Nianzhen left, the house became much quieter.The maids and servants in the mansion also breathed a sigh of relief, smiling brighter than the midsummer sun, and they were almost beating gongs and drums to celebrate sending away the big-tempered Buddha Princess Shu.

Yi Xuan still stayed with me as before, and delivered food, soup and medicine on time.The doubts in my heart disturb me all the time, and I cannot sleep peacefully.In the afternoon of that day, Wen Lan came in a hurry, and after whispering a few words in Yi Xuan's ear, Yi Xuan said something was wrong, and went out of Liuwen Pavilion with Wen Lan.

Taking advantage of Yi Xuan's absence, I dismissed the servants and slipped out the back door, and went straight to Zuixianglou.Liu Banyan and Yi'an have known each other for ten years, so I'm sure she knows something.Walking all the way, my mind is full of those people and things that Yi Xuan and Xia Nianzhen talked about.

When I walked to the door of Zuixiang Building, my heart trembled.The plaque with black characters on a red background on the door frame turned into a gilt plaque with a red background, and the three characters "Wanhonglou" on the plaque were particularly eye-catching.When did this Zuixiang Building become Wanhong Building?

I froze at the door, unable to move my legs for a while.Liu'er suddenly ran out to meet me: "Young Master Yiqiu." Liu'er's face was a little worse than before, and his enthusiasm for me was not halved.I pulled Liu'er and hurriedly asked, "How did this become Wanhonglou?"

The forced smile at the corner of Liu'er's mouth completely disappeared: "Sister Yan sold Zuixianglou to Sister Jiaoer and Sister Meier to take care of it. Sister Yan changed the name herself. Say yes Selling, in fact, Sister Yan didn't ask for silver taels."

"Where is Sister Banyan?" My feeling became worse and worse.Liu'er said: "Sister Yan left four days ago."

"Gone? Why did she leave?" One layer of fog has not been cleared, another layer.Liu'er shook his head and said: "I don't know the reason, but seven days ago, two women came to see Sister Yan, and they looked like a master and a servant. Sister Yan sat with them in the room for a while, After the two women left, Sister Yan became very sad. When I asked Sister Yan, she only said that it was all right. Four days ago, she called all the sisters together to talk about the change of owner, and changed the name of Zuixianglou to Wanhonglou, bought a car and left Wanzhou. Sisters Jiaoer and Meier asked her where she was going, but she just smiled and said nothing."

I stared at the three words Wanhonglou and paused for a while.It was unusual for Yian and Yichun to leave me suddenly before, but now Liu Banyan sold Zuixianglou and left Wanzhou, which is even more bizarre. According to common sense, she has no reason to leave.

If it was because of Yi'an, she should have left when Yi'an disappeared. Now, if she left, it would not make sense at all, unless... Liu Banyan had to leave, if she hadn't found out about Yi'an's whereabouts, Then it was her life that was in danger.I woke up and asked, "Liu'er, do you still remember what those two women looked like?"

Liu'er rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and said: "They are extremely beautiful, with small noses and lips, and those watery eyes that can talk. They are very expensively dressed, not like ordinary boudoir girls."

I heard that these descriptions are somewhat similar to that of Xia Nianzhen.Liu'er paused for a while and then said: "I seem to hear that young lady calling that girl Qianluo."

Qianluo!It was Xia Nian, no doubt.I breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.Liu'er invited me to come in and sit down, but I declined.On the way back, I kept thinking, what exactly did Xia Nianzhen say to Liu Banyan, which made Liu Banyan abandon his half-life family business, buy a car and leave.
