Chang Xi ignored the complicated look Jie Jin cast. At this time, she just felt exhausted and was really not in the mood to think about anything else. However, she was not used to sleeping in someone else's bed, so she leaned against the bed to hold up the mosquito net.
On the bamboo pole, she reluctantly closed her eyes to rest her mind. It was impossible to fall asleep. After all, this was not a place that could give her a sense of security.
Xie Jin looked away when he saw her closing her eyes to rest, knowing that she would never really fall asleep, so he silently turned his head to look out the window and guarded her.
There was a commotion in the yard. Chang Xi opened her eyes suddenly and saw Jie Jin standing up and guarding the door vigilantly. She immediately went over to guard the other side. The two looked at each other to see what was going on.
.
The first voice that came was Xiao Tao's voice, and she was heard eagerly asking the host, "Is Mrs. Chang at your house?"
The host recognized Xiao Tao at a glance and said hurriedly, "Yes, she is resting in the room. I will go over and send a message..."
"No need." Xiao Tao had already hurried to the house pointed by the host, "Ms. Chang, are you in there?"
Chang Xi exchanged glances with Xie Jin again, and then nodded gently. After all, there was nothing unusual about Xiao Tao's voice, which meant it was credible.
She has been with Xiao Tao for so long, so she is very confident about this.
Xie Jin then put away the long sword in his hand and prepared to go out with her.
"Mrs. Chang." As soon as Xiao Tao saw Chang Xi appear, she excitedly ran over and grabbed her hand. Her red eyes were already filled with tears. She thought she would never see Chang Xi again.
Madam, I cried over and over again.
Hu Niu, who was running behind her, also had an excited expression. She didn't sleep last night. She followed the people from other courtyards to find Chang Xi and Xie Jin, but to no avail all night long. The mood was not to mention how uncomfortable it was. She was trying not to shed tears.
She couldn't help but wipe away her tears when Xiaotao hugged Chang Xi and cried bitterly.
Her adoptive father was the first noble person in her life, and Mrs. Chang was the second.
Chang Xi patted Xiaotao's back to comfort her. She knew that the little girl was really frightened last night, but in the blink of an eye, she saw the big and tall Huniu crying too. Her heart suddenly softened and she reached out to pat her back.
Soothing.
If something happened to her, they would be the only ones who would truly cry for her.
Jie Jin glanced at the scene of the deep love between master and servant, and tried hard to resist the urge to step forward and pull the two maids apart. Then he looked away and looked at Zhou Nan, who had an excited expression on his face. His thick eyebrows immediately furrowed. When would he?
Have you become so mother-in-law?
When Zhou Nan saw Xie Jin like this, he immediately put away the excitement on his face. He was influenced by the two women, Xiao Tao and Huniu. I guess this expression is stupid in the eyes of his master, right?
He lowered his head slightly and did not dare to look at Xie Jin again. Instead, he gave the clothes he had brought to his master to change into. It was difficult for his master, who always lived a delicate life, to wear a tattered middle coat in this daylight. This had never happened before.
thing.
Although Chang Xi's coat was damaged, it didn't affect anything overall, so she refused to change into the clothes Xiao Tao brought. Let's leave it like this for now. It wouldn't be too late to change after returning to another hospital.
When Xie Jin took care of himself again and came out of the house, he glanced at Chang Xi and the two maids who were still talking, and frowned even more tightly, so he walked over and took Chang Xi's arm, "First
Go back to the other courtyard."
Xiao Tao and Hu Niu, who were left behind, looked at each other, wondering what made this evil master unhappy?
Chang Xi was pulled away by him, and her face was filled with questions. Did he take the wrong medicine? Why was he pulling her? She had feet and could walk.
"Master Xie Jiu, let go first..." Seeing that Jin didn't listen to her, she said angrily, "You scratched me."
Only then did Xie Jin let go of his hand. Seeing the displeasure in her expression, he said apologetically, "Sorry, it was an unintentional mistake."
Chang Xi snorted, now is not the time to escape last night, there is no need for the two of them to be so close.
Before leaving, she went to say thank you to her host who was huddled aside. The host hurriedly waved his hands, but he kept peeking at Xie Jin from the corner of his eyes. Although this man was handsome and noble, he was not easy to get along with at first glance.
People, so she secretly gave Chang Xi a sympathetic look.
Being inexplicably sympathized, Chang Xi was confused. She didn't know which song she was singing.
Until the host secretly pointed at Xie Jin, and then said to her in a low voice, "Ms. Chang, we women should be more tolerant."
Chang An suddenly realized, and her forehead was suddenly covered with black lines. What was this all about? It was hard to explain the true relationship between her and Xie Jin for a while.
She didn't chat any more with her host, she quickly waved goodbye and was helped by Xiao Tao to get into the carriage.
Xie Jin was already sitting in the carriage, leaving Zhou Nan to handle the aftermath. Even though he realized that there was something wrong with his ideas and practices, it seemed difficult for him to change them all at once. Besides, he could also feel that there was something wrong with the village.
Many people were afraid of him, not for any other reason than that he was someone they thought was difficult to get along with.
Some people are born with affinity, while others are born without it.
Chang Xi did not force Xie Jin to mingle with others. He obviously did not light up this skill. The aura of the superior was too strong, making it difficult for others to approach him.
Xiaotao sat outside the carriage and waited, not going in to disturb the two of them from rest. She could see that Chang Xi didn't sleep all night.
On the way back to the other courtyard, Chang Xi almost fell asleep, but fortunately she still remembered what Xiao Tao secretly told her that Mr. Jie Si and Mrs. Qin came to the other courtyard, and it was exactly as she guessed, so she wanted to go back to the other courtyard.
Dealing with these two people again makes me feel a little irritated.
Xie Jin closed his eyes to rest, but even if he relaxed, he still clenched the long sword in his hand, and his body posture was also tense, indicating that he was ready to take action at any time.
Chang Xi saw that he was sitting in a posture of protecting her. After last night, she felt that something was different, but she couldn't tell what was different.
After last night, she couldn't say anything to make Xie Jin relax, that's all.
In the other courtyard, Shi Bichi waited anxiously with Mrs. Qin. When the news about Xie Jin's assassination came back last night, she didn't sleep a wink all night. She was worried about Xie Jin's safety and jealous that Mrs. Chang could be with him.
While running away, I thought of countless scenes of the two of them together, which made my heart suffer.
Mrs. Qin came early in the morning, and she hurriedly restrained herself. She was deeply afraid that Mrs. Qin would see some clues, so she expressed in her words that she was not only worried about Jie Jin, but also worried about Mrs. Chang's safety.
.
Mrs. Qin was exhausted both mentally and physically after coming all the way. How could she have the energy to distinguish which of Shi Bichi's words were true and which were false? Moreover, she was always making noises there. She was very upset, thinking that she was the daughter of a family friend, so she could bear it.
Shi Bichi, who has always been shrewd, realized that he had gone too far when he saw Qin's true emotions. Just as he was about to make amends, he heard the noise outside, and then someone quickly came in to report that it was Jiu.
Grandpa is back.
Mrs. Qin immediately put down the rotating beads, stood up and hurried out.
