Luo nine needles

Chapter 236

There was a moment of silence up and down the cliff.

The two women looked at each other for a moment.

Miss Xiahou sighed, bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

It is the most pitiful thing for a woman to encounter such a thing.

Qixing nodded: "You have resentment, it's human nature, I don't blame you." She said with a smile, "Didn't you worry about greeting me just now?"

The sentence that seemed to come out of my mouth are you okay.

Miss Xiahou was silent for a moment, feeling a strange feeling that talking to her was as easy as talking to Lu Yizhi. Of course, it was Lu Yizhi who hadn't yet shown his other side.

In fact, although they met several times, it was the first time they communicated, and that time when they were accompanied by Lu Yizhi to buy things in Linglongfang was not counted.

But it can't be counted. At that time, Miss Qixing faced her, regardless of what was in her heart, the shopkeeper's attitude was impeccable.

This shows that she is indeed a rational and intelligent woman.

Miss Xia Hou raised her head and looked at her: "Yes, I did not know that you had a marriage contract with him, but I did know about your relationship with him. I thought you were wishful thinking and suggested that he make a mess with you."

Who would have thought that the last mess cut off by a sharp knife was herself.

"That's why Lu Yizhi said that we know that the world laughs at our Xiahou family for taking away their husband and son-in-law. It is irrefutable and deserves to be scolded."

She looked at Miss Qixing.

"You should blame me and scold me."

Qixing smiled: "Others don't know, it's inevitable to scold you, but I know, so I won't scold you."

She didn't start crying, making noise, scolding, pulling her hair, etc. Zhu Chuan pouted, this woman is really boring.

Zhu Chuan turned his head and didn't bother to look, Qixing, who was listening to him, continued.

"I also want to thank you for keeping my store open by not telling anyone else about my identity."

It’s fine to use him to pretend to be busy with business every day, and he doesn’t forget to mention her shop when talking to this lady. Are you really crazy to want to get rich?Zhu Chuan sighed in his heart.

Miss Xiahou was also obviously stunned for a while, talking about men and women in the world, and suddenly talking about opening a shop.

It seems that this business is what she cares most about?
"This is my future, of course I care about it." Qi Xing saw her doubts and said with a smile, "You are not the only ones who have a future, I, a embroiderer, also have a future."

Future...Miss Xia Hou looked at her. In fact, from the first time she saw her, she knew that she was a very serious embroidery lady. She also said at the time that, just like studying, a craft can only be acquired through hard study.

Later, the embroiderer took over the business of the Royal Workshop, and was rewarded by the fifth son-in-law and the emperor.

At that time, she also guessed that Qixing would not leave the capital, her guess was based on intuition, mixed with matters of men and women, it was vague.

Now he got an accurate answer from Seven Star.

Reading has a future, so does Xiuniang. The scholar Lu Yizhi cares about the future, and Xiuniang Qixing also cares about the future.

so what does she mean?Does it mean that what happened to Lu Yizhi has nothing to do with her?

Miss Xiahou looked away.

"You're welcome, we haven't been out and haven't seen anyone, and we haven't had time to spread the word." She said, "But we won't stay silent forever, we will talk even if we are wrong."

Qixing asked: "What are you going to say?"

Miss Xia Hou glanced at her and said lightly: "To tell the truth, so I won't hide your identity, but it's not because I hate you that I don't hide it, it's just the facts I know."

"But it's not good for me." Qixing said, with a bit of sincerity, "Can you just say that Lu Yizhi is not good, and don't mention me."

How could anyone be so grandiose... Miss Xiahou looked at Qixing again, with a surprised and inexplicably irritable expression.

"Is it good for me to do this?" She couldn't help raising her voice, "I don't say bad things about others, I'm bad, if I say bad things about others, how good can I be, I'm already like this, Why do you still demand this and that from me, after all I..."

What's wrong, to fall to this point.

Yes, that's right, she dared to come out to face the crowd, she never backed down, she had read books, she was smart, rational, and reasonable, but she was just a young girl, she was also a human being, she would fear, resent, hate, sad.

She is really sad.

Thoughts flashed, sourness rushed to my heart, and I could no longer hold back my tears.

Miss Xiahou used her last strength to turn her head to look down the cliff, with her back to Qixing.

"Miss Qixing, you don't need to say any more, I know you are innocent, but I am also innocent, we innocent people should not embarrass each other." She said, "You go, I want to be alone."

The person behind did not leave, but also asked curiously: "Are you crying?"

Miss Xiahou couldn't bear her temper anymore and turned her head, the tears on her face were no longer hidden.

"Yes, I'm just crying." She shouted, "I'm just looking for a place where no one is crying! I don't want people to see my embarrassment! You can see that you are satisfied now!"

Qixing nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Xiahou is a victim, how can she not cry or complain, that's how it should be."

Miss Xia Hou didn't know what to say for a while.

"Did you read my joke? It's funny, isn't it?" She said angrily, "It seems that Miss Qixing is really happy and happy."

She began to say unkind words and even some vicious words again.

Qixing laughed loudly: "Whether it was when Miss Xiahou wanted to drive me away, or when Huo Lian and Lu Yizhi were fighting over me now, I did have a better life than you. For example, Lu Yizhi found reasons to prevaricate you for me. You, for example, two people are fighting for a girl now, but the third person who gets scolded is you."

Miss Xiahou was so angry that she wanted to stand up, but she held back.

"Miss Qixing is amazing, I, Xia Houqing, feel ashamed." She gritted her teeth and said.

Qixing looked at her and said with a smile: "Don't compare me, what I mean is, since you are having a bad life, let others know, your anger and grievances must also be known, as I said before, I don't know You are not guilty, the world does not know about you, it is human nature to scold you, blame you and laugh at you, Miss Xiahou, you are too proud, but pride does not mean sullen and sullen, you should be calm, free and easy with joy, anger, sorrow and joy."

Miss Xiahou seemed to laugh angrily again.

"Thank you for teaching me," she said.

Qixing smiled: "You don't need me to teach you, Miss Xiahou knows very well in her heart, who caused what happened now, and why, if you say bad things, it's not because you hate me, you know in your heart that I'm innocent .”

Miss Xiahou looked at her and said, "Miss Qixing is what she says." After that, she turned her head and looked down the cliff again, "You can go, I really want to be alone for a while."

This time I heard a hello from behind.

"However, it's better to heal your foot injury first. Otherwise, when your maid finds you, you will have to be supported, and you will even have to find someone to carry you back. It will be even more embarrassing."

Miss Xia Hou took a deep breath and turned her head, looked at the woman stretching out her hand from the cloak, and said hello: "Qiu Niang, you are good at healing wounds, go and show her."

Miss Xiahou's eyes were shocked, not because Qixing pointed out that her foot was injured, nor did she ask for medical treatment, but——

"Your hands—" She stood up abruptly, ignoring the pain in her feet, and looked at the chains on her exposed wrists without the cover of the cloak.

Qixing glanced at her, smiled, turned and walked away.

There was the sound of rattling chains in the mountain wind.

Miss Xiahou had heard this sound before. She was still young and a bit naughty at that time. She followed the nanny to see the prisoners crossing the street. Those prisoners with chains and hands and feet were driven past, leaving such a rattling sound in her ears. .

What's the matter—Miss Xia Hou couldn't help but wanted to catch up, but she couldn't help the pain as soon as she lifted her foot, and she fell to the ground with an oops. Fortunately, Qiu Niang walked down quickly and reached out to support her.

"Miss, don't move, I'll take a look." She said, and comforted, "Don't worry, I can fix any sprained tendons or broken bones. At least I can walk back without any abnormality."

Miss Xiahou couldn't see Qixing anymore, so she could only sit down and asked the woman urgently: "What's wrong with her, why is she tied up with iron chains?"

Qiuniang didn't seem to hear it, she just stretched out her hand to hold the corner of Miss Xiahou's skirt, groping for an ankle: "Is it here? Miss, don't worry, I didn't hurt any bones..."

She babbled on and on, Miss Xiahou gradually calmed down, she didn't ask any more questions or say anything, what could a servant girl, a servant girl from Huo Lian's house, say to her?
She looked at the cliff, the woman did not know what to do, the pain came from the ankle, and then spread all over the body, making her break out in cold sweat, but she didn't say a word.

It may be that the mind is not here.

Her heart was sinking leisurely, overwhelmed by anxiety and what seemed to be chagrin.

What she said earlier was really inhuman.

How could it be possible to have a good time.

……

.......
"Ah."

Zhu Chuan looked at Qixing who was walking slowly while dragging the chain.

"That's all right now, Miss Xiahou must not have the heart to tell others your identity, your store is saved."

Qixing followed up and said, "That's really great."

Zhu Chuan curled his lips: "If you want to pretend to be pitiful, why didn't you show the chains at the beginning? Save so much nonsense."

"I'm not pitiful, why pretend?" Qixing said, looking at Zhu Chuan with a smile, "Your governor is so kind to me, he didn't hand over me, the chief criminal of the Mo sect, to the emperor, and he didn't beat me for interrogation. You came to serve me as a servant, and even took me outing in the spring and to the royal banquet, a Motu is not satisfied with being treated like this, no matter how pitiful he is, I am sorry for your governor.”

Zhu Chuan counted with his fingers in his heart, and nodded in his heart, that's right, the governor was too kind to her, so she understood.

"However, I'm not here to serve you, I'm here to take care of you!" He thought of something and quickly corrected it.

Qixing nodded: "It's almost the same." After finishing speaking, he signaled to the front, "There's no one here, I don't want to sit in a sedan chair, so bring the horse over here."

Zhu Chuan cast her a glance: "You can still ride a horse like this? Don't expect me to untie the chain for you."

Qixing said with a smile: "The chain is not here, isn't the chain in Linglongfang? It's all under your control."

That's true, Zhu Chuan waved his hand, calling the Ducha Si Bingwei beside him to lead the horse over, and personally hugged Qixing on the horse's back.

"You sit still," he said. "It's no wonder I fell."

The horses are not sedan chairs, sitting on a sideways staggeringly, like crossing a single-plank bridge.

Qixing swayed slightly as the horse walked, held the rein with both hands, and said, "No, it won't fall off if you hang it on the horse."

What is hanging on the horse?She thought she was a sword, Zhu Chuan thought to himself, before he could sneer, he saw the woman pull the rein suddenly, and the horse neighed like a wild horse rushing forward.

Zhu Chuan's snort turned into a yell, and the three servants also screamed. The horse rushed out, but the man didn't fall off. As the horse galloped farther and farther away——

"Zhu Chuan, look at my riding skills, is it better than your captain?"

A female voice is carried by the wind.

Zhu Chuan was furious and wanted to run——

"Chase!" he shouted, drawing his waist knife.

.........

.........

In the depths of the dense forest, the trampling of horses, the flying of birds and beasts, and the boiling voices of people gradually faded away.

It seemed that the forest fell silent in the blink of an eye.

A crisp bird song came from a distance, and there was also a bird song in the forest in response. With a crash, someone jumped from the big tree to the ground. At the same time, a person came running from the depths of the forest, watching The woman who landed had a smile on her face, and the dark forest became bright.

"Seven Stars!" Gao Xiaoliu shouted.

Qixing smiled at him: "You're here."
