Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

Chapter 11 Disaster

"What does the third brother want?" The redness on Chu Xinle's cheeks faded, and she was paled by the glazed lamp, looking sickly.

Seeing his appearance, Xing Yanhong dissipated the banter in his heart, and felt a sense of boredom spontaneously. He let go of Chu Xinle's chin rather irritably, and said generously, "I want you to tell the truth."

Chu Xinle lowered her eyes, laughed a little hastily, her eyes were full of tiredness, and said: "Third Young Master, can't you see it? Why do you want to listen to the truth? You don't believe what I say. Is it true that you want me to admit what you think? But that's not true."

"What do you want this person to do?" Xing Yanhong suddenly asked, changing the subject.

Chu Xinle looked sideways at the imprisoned young man, and said, "He made the third son uncomfortable, so I want to protect him."

These words contradicted what he said earlier, Xing Yanhong breathed out, motioned the guards to let go, and said: "A few days ago, I wanted to find a backer, why has it changed now?"

"A few days ago, there was someone behind the third young master, who was so arrogant that he didn't even pay attention to other people's begging for mercy, but now, the third young master still relies on me, doesn't he?" Chu Xinle chuckled.

If he really had a bad stomach, this man really held grudges too much. He was caught by him because he failed to escape. It has been more than a month, but he came back now and took him into the army.

Tsk... the little fox's teeth are so sharp.

"I underestimated you." Xing Yanhong also smiled, his eyes became more ruthless, and the eagle's beak on the side of his neck under the glazed lamp was sharp: "Be careful in the future, don't be caught by me."

"Yes, Bo Luan thinks highly of me so much, how can I disappoint you, Bo Luan." Chu Xinle stood up and saluted Xing Yanhong.

He turned around and pulled the young man up, just about to leave, when he remembered something, he turned around and said, "I have to thank third brother today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take him away without spending a single coin."

After finishing speaking, he took the boy and left Yanxiang Tower.

Xing Yanhong tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, his eyes fixed on the place where Chu Xinle disappeared.

Runan in the autumn night is very windy, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the wind can't get out, it hits the top of the mountain and then turns back, roaring back and forth, Chu Xinle's clothes are blown through, feeling cold, the hand holding the young man's wrist straight Trembling, the boy wanted to break free, and stared at him angrily, so what if he was saved, none of these children is good.

"Don't move around." Chu Xinle turned her head and said hastily, the boy didn't struggle anymore.

When they arrived at the gate of Shi Mansion, the guards on duty were drowsy, and when they saw Chu Xinle came back, they all shouted "Second Young Master".

They are not as afraid of Chu Xinle as they are about Shi Zhenming. One is that Chu Xinle is a concubine, and his status is not much higher than them. Second, although Chu Xinle is reused by the Shi family now, she has a good temper and treats others with warmth. She is much more likable than Shi Zhenming who is proud and arrogant all day long, so naturally she treats him better.

"It's hard work, two big brothers. Those who are more exposed are still on duty. This is the signature wine in Yanxiang Building. Use it to warm your body." Chu Xinle smiled brightly, and handed over the wine that she bought by the way when she came out.

"Why is this so embarrassing, Second Young Master." The two of them said that, but they took their hands sincerely, saw the young man beside him, and asked, "This is..."

Chu Xinle seemed to have just noticed the people around her, and suddenly realized: "He is a handyman in Yanxiang Building. I bought him because I saw him doing things quickly. You also know that there are only green bamboos and jade lotus around me, two The girl is from every family, and it’s not convenient to serve me sometimes, so it’s not easy to bring back a clever man.”

The two saw that the boy was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, there was nothing suspicious about it, and they took the second young master's wine in their hands, they didn't say much, and let him in directly.

Chu Xinle pulled the young man back to her yard around the path. When Qingzhu Yulian saw her young master coming back, she immediately went forward to meet her. The four of them entered the room and closed the door.

Before the young man could react, he felt a sharp pain in his unconscious arm. The sound of the bone resetting pierced his eardrums, and cold sweat broke out in an instant. In the blink of an eye, Chu Xinle recovered his removed arm.

"Grand...Young master..." Seeing this appearance, Qing Zhu was so frightened that he didn't know what to say for a while.

The two of them have been serving the young master since they were young, but now the young master's temperament has changed drastically, which really confuses them. Even Yulian, who is the oldest among the three, is a little surprised. Who would have thought that the young master would bring back a young man from outside? .

"My lord, he is..." Yulian asked.

Chu Xinle clapped her hands slightly relaxed, and introduced to the young man self-consciously: "This Yulian and Qingzhu, from now on you will serve me with them."

"You..." The young man supported the arm he had just connected, numbness and pain spread from the tight bone seam, his voice was a little hoarse, and there was still cold sweat on his forehead that didn't go away.

"I am the second son of the Shi family, you can just call me son like them, maybe if you want to call me master, I have no problem." Chu Xinle spread her hands, with a look of indifference, and asked: "What about you? name?"

The young man was full of doubts. He heard the conversation between Chu Xinle and Xing Yanhong clearly in the Yanxiang Tower. Although he heard it in a cloud, he was smart and could tell that there must be something hidden inside.

"Why should I listen to you." The boy didn't answer Chu Xinle's words, but instead stood up like a hedgehog with spikes all over his body.

"How do you talk..." Qingzhu couldn't bear to see her son being bullied the most, the attitude of the young man was really ugly, Qingzhu couldn't hold back her stubborn temper, she opened her mouth to scold, but was stopped by Yulian Yulian stared back at half of what she said, and swallowed it back in her stomach aggrieved.

Chu Xinle laughed, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea to drink, and said: "It is said that the favor of saving life should be repaid by the spring, if it were not for me, you would not know that the third son of the Xing family threw your two arms Where are you going to feed the wild dogs?" Chu Xinle glanced over, and saw the whip marks on the young man's wrist, the marks were deep, it seemed that it was not long, and it was still purple, Chu Xinle sighed, put down the teacup, and taught : "Tsk, at such a young age, you don't have so many thorns on your body. If you learn to restrain yourself, you won't be all bruised."

The young man was a little dazed, and lowered his hands so that the cuffs covered his wrists. He turned his eyes away, restrained the thorns on his body, and asked sullenly, "Why did you save me?"

Chu Xinle turned around and sat down in the chair, reached out to pick up the empty porcelain cup on the table to play with, the oil lamp reflected his coldness, his complexion was whiter than the porcelain cup, he said: "My son is kind and kind, seeing you Poor, let's help each other." After he finished speaking, he raised his eyelids and looked at the young man, his eyes twinkled with starlight, and his affectionate eyes were full of smiles, and he said frivolously, "Do you want to hear such lies, or do you want to hear the truth?"

"I want to hear the truth." The young man's light gray eyes fixed on Chu Xinle.

"Okay," Chu Xinle nodded, put the teacup upside down on the table, and crossed his fingers on his lap. The young man noticed that his fingers were not as smooth as the skin on other places, with some small wounds, and even slightly rough.

"My lord, Qingzhu and I went outside to watch." Yulian thought cleverly, and pulled Qingzhu out before Chu Xinle chased her away.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Chu Xinle said: "You were born with good night vision, so your eyes are gray. Your family was poor, and because your eyes were considered to be unknown, you were sold to the old lady, and then you were sold to the old lady. The son was sold to Yanxiang Building, and Mrs. Liu saw that you look good, and your eyes are gray, and you can please your benefactor between the beds."

Chu Xinle saw the young man's hand tremblingly clenched by his side, and then said: "The old lady Liu taught you the skills of a young lady. When you were ten years old, you were asked to receive guests. Who knows that your first benefactor Short life, died on the couch, even the doctor couldn't figure out the reason, Mrs. Liu could only let you do odd jobs in the building, but she didn't give up. When she was 13 years old, she sent you to the bed again, but the death of that person was the same as No. .1, after that, Madam Liu also decided that you are a disaster star, but after all, you bought it with money, and you have to make the best use of it, so I let you serve tea and water in the building."

Tired of talking, Chu Xinle poured herself another cup of tea, drank a couple of sips, and saw the young man's face livid, chuckled softly, and said, "But the two of them have one thing in common, that is the red blood spot on the side of the neck, If you don't look carefully, it looks like a red mole, and it's hard to find. You take advantage of their unsuspecting hair with a thin needle and kill them with one blow." The young man loosened his clenched fingers, and Chu Xinle's eyes widened. He bent over and praised, "Well done."

"So, you've worked so hard to find out about me, you're not full." The boy shrugged and said expressionlessly.

"Yes, I'm not full." Chu Xinle looked down at the wounds on her hands and said, "I want you."

"I want you to be the most trustworthy person around me." Chu Xinle's voice was not loud, and could even be blown away by the wind. With the ability of a teenager, she could hear clearly.

"How can you be sure that I will be faithful?" The boy's astonishment was only fleeting, and his forced calm couldn't cover up his trembling voice.

Chu Xinle looked at him, and after a moment of confrontation, he shook his head in compromise, and said, "I'm not sure, as you have seen today, I'm just a bastard with no power and power, and if I have any power, I will be suppressed. We all want to save our lives. Isn't it?"

Chu Xinle's words were vague, he was good at playing tricks and demagoguery, it might not be a big deal, but for a 15-year-old boy who suffered humiliation, it was enough to weigh heavily on his heart.

"I saved you today, and the third son of the Xing family also offended you."

The grace of saving life is connected with life, the tense thread in the young man's heart is broken, and he is alone anyway.

"What's your name?" Chu Xinle asked suddenly.

"Young Master, haven't you checked everything? You must know the name of Ale." The young man answered honestly.

"I thought you had another name that I couldn't find out." Chu Xinle didn't guess it, and touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment: "In that case, then I'll give you a name, Chenfan."

Chu Xinle looked directly at him, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

The light from the oil lamp was a bit dim, dust was floating between the two of them, and the sound of the wind outside the window was beating against the bamboo window, as if it was slapping on the boy's wound, making the bloody wound hideous.

Chu Xinle was imprinted in the flames, like a celestial being exiled from the sky, she stretched out her hand into the secular world mercifully.

The young man lowered his head, clasped his fists with both hands, knelt down on one knee, and surrendered in front of Chu Xinle, with a firm voice and a strong spirit, he said: "My lord, save me from a desolate journey, and I will pave the way for my lord."

"Chen Fan, Chen Fan can be born into the clouds, Fanruo leaves the realm and asks himself." Chu Xinle nodded, motioning Chen Fan to get up.

"My lord, there is one thing I want you to do."

The rain in Runan started to fall again, the sky became colder, the wind whizzed past and rolled up the broken leaves on the ground, Chu Xinle had not seen Shi Zhenming again for three days since that night, but he did not let it go In his heart, he knew that this disaster could not be avoided.

That night when Chu Xinle returned home after finishing his work, he was stopped by A Lei, a close friend of Shi Zhenming. He might have been with Shi Zhenming all the time, and Alei also followed Shi Zhenming's appearance. There is not much difference, one is older than the other.

"Second son, my son would like to invite you to drink tea in the yard. He said that the two brothers have not seen each other for a long time and miss you."

Chen Fan went out to do errands and hasn't come back yet, Chu Xinle has few people around her, and now she goes out to do errands by herself.

The path was extremely muddy, and the cold wind was biting to the bone, which made Chu Xinle's face a layer of goosebumps.

Tsk... Shi Jiaming's broken body.

Chu Xinle smiled and said, "Then please lead the way."
