step by step

Chapter 283
He suddenly remembered the old acquaintance in the bamboo forest, the figure of this woman seemed to be accompanied by the appearance of Zhuo Yibai.

It's just that the one who has gotten quite close to King Qing recently, and it is rumored that a good thing is coming, why is he still involved with Zhuo Yibai?

"You guessed right." Zhuo Yibai stood in front of him with open eyes.

Zhuo Mingxuan motioned him to sit down, and his expression returned to his previous calmness, "You act rashly, will she accept your intention? If the result is not what you want"

"No matter what the outcome is, it's a gamble." Zhuo Yibai interrupted him, but he didn't look him in the eye.

"It's good to win this hand, and there is no loss if you lose." Zhuo Mingxuan lowered his voice.Ye's daughter is the person that King Qing likes, even if Zhuo Yibai really wins her favor, it is difficult to guarantee that King Qing will not use some means for power.What's more, if the person who robbed King Qing is included in the palace, then the palace will not be peaceful.

If you lose, that's a good thing.

"But I don't want to lose." Zhuo Yibai lowered his eyelashes to cover the dark light in his eyes.

"Uncle Huang once taught us not to force anything."

"I want to give it a try, maybe there will be accidents?" Zhuo Yibai raised his head, seemed to think of something, then showed an elegant smile, and instantly dispelled the gloom, "If it is really possible to reverse this matter, at least I No more regrets."

"These words are very like a grandfather's demeanor." Zhuo Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing, "Since you have plans, I won't persuade you anymore."

His younger brother, who came back halfway, has always looked like this since he was a child. He always has a gentle smile, looks humble and polite, but actually hides more arrogance than anyone else in his heart. He will never let go of what he knows. Even put in all kinds of efforts for this.

If it can be achieved, it is also worthy of admiration.

The two had their own concerns, and they were speechless for a while, Zhuo Yibai sat down to drink tea, but heard Wei Yu's surprised voice from the courtyard door: "Miss, what are you doing here?"

Before the words fell, the two people in the courtyard were shocked. They subconsciously raised their heads to look at the door, and suddenly found that at some time, Zhuo Tianxin was standing outside the door. She was dressed in Chinese clothes and her hair was combed neatly and dignifiedly. , but extremely pale, almost transparent, a pair of black eyes quietly looked at the two of them, full of guilt, obviously overheard their conversation just now.

This appearance, against her slightly frail body, made her look even more pitiful.

"Tianxin." Zhuo Mingxuan frowned and called her out in displeasure.

"I... didn't intend to eavesdrop." Zhuo Tianxin glanced at the two from the corner of his eyes, his eyes were reddish, and he was about to cry, "I was just passing by."

If other men saw her pitiful appearance, they would definitely not feel like blaming her.

Zhuo Mingxuan was different, he had always been cautious and conscientious, and he was always solemn and dignified in the mansion, so naturally he didn't have a kind heart to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

Although Zhuo Tianxin is the daughter-in-law, due to some secret reasons, she is not seen by the main concubine of Zhuo Wang's mansion, even with him she is somewhat on guard.

What's more, he never liked a woman like Zhuo Tianxin who was spoiled since she was a child and relied on the palace to play awe-inspiring outside.

"What do you mean if you don't eavesdrop? You appear here like this. Could it be that you came here on purpose to eavesdrop on our conversation?"

Zhuo Tianxin trembled slightly, and hurriedly shook her head in denial: "No, no." She gritted her teeth, as if mustering up her courage, "I, I actually have something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"I came here because I was worried about you." Zhuo Tianxin pursed her lips, tears rolled down, "The princess was furious in the room, it seems to be because of Yibai."

Hearing this sentence, Zhuo Yibai's eyes flashed a trace of suspicion, but soon, he concealed his emotions, and still maintained his original indifferent demeanor.

Kunyu was furious, and Zhuo Tianxin knew about it first?Probably not a coincidence.

Zhuo Mingxuan obviously thought of this, although he didn't know what Zhuo Tianxin was planning, but his intuition told him that it would not be a good thing.

However, his face became a little cold, and there was a icy coldness in his tone: "You, a girl who has not left the court, are so loud, how can you be decent?"

Zhuo Tianxin froze, she didn't expect Zhuo Mingxuan to be so disregarded this time, after a long while, she argued with red eyes: "I, I am also doing it for your own good."

"Tianxin, don't forget that you are a serious lady in Zhuowang's mansion. Isn't it a violation of the rules to behave like this?"

In the past, seeing Zhuotian's heart as a demon, he just regarded it as pure because he never touched his real interests.This South Vietnamese marriage is an opportunity that Zhuo Yibai voluntarily gave up, so naturally no one else can get involved.

Hearing the word "rules", Zhuo Tianxin couldn't help but flinch a little, she bit her lip, as if she wanted to justify something, but seeing his indifferent eyes, she hesitated.

The other party didn't intend to let her be fooled, "Tianxin, could it be that you have your own selfish motives?"

These words directly hit Zhuo Tianxin's sore spot, she clutched her chest and took a few steps back, tears streaming down her face: "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

If outsiders knew about her thoughts on Zhuo Yibai, it would definitely cause an uproar.

"If not, why are you so nervous?" Zhuo Mingxuan stared at Zhuo Tianxin with sharp eyes.

"I—" Zhuo Tianxin opened her mouth to explain, but before she could finish, she was cut off by Zhuo Yibai.

"Tianxin must be concerned about chaos. Tianxin and I are brothers and sisters, and we should have a closer relationship." Zhuo Yibai stretched out his hand to hold Zhuo Mingxuan's shoulder, and shook his head slightly at him. "Second brother, I believe that after this time, Tianxin must know that he made a mistake and will not do it again."

At the end, his eyes fell on Zhuo Tianxin's cheek, with a bit of comfort and warning.

Zhuo Mingxuan seemed to be questioning, but in fact he was reminding him that after several times of questioning, the doubts that had been planted in his heart in the past faintly emerged, which made him even more frightened.

Zhuo Tianxin nodded in a daze, looking at her brother who had always been kind to her with tears in her eyes, and suddenly felt a little strange.

He rarely looked at himself with such eyes, as if he was looking at something irrelevant, full of indifference, and even a little vigilant.

Why, he would be wary of himself.
She stood there sluggishly, a cloud of chaos in her mind.

Zhuo Yibai withdrew his hand, nodded to Zhuo Mingxuan and said: "I still have something to do, let's take a step first."

"Yibai." Zhuo Tianxin couldn't help calling him.

Zhuo Yibai didn't turn his head back, and his pace didn't stop at all, leaving only a back with a straight back.

"Go back." Zhuo Mingxuan poured himself a cup of tea without looking at the tearful woman in front of him.

Seeing this, Zhuo Tianxin saw a deep hatred in her eyes, but soon, she concealed it again, clenched her fist tightly, left quietly, walked to a secluded place, wiped the tears on her face fiercely, her eyes were gloomy rushed to the yard where he lived.
