Ci Jinzhi

Xin You recalled the scene when the two met for the first time: she was running wildly on the road in a carriage without a curtain, and after getting off the carriage, she approached him with the smell of corpses...

"If you killed Kou Qingqing and were taken back to Shaoqing Mansion, there is no need to bring your maidservant back to the mountains..."

When they met for the first time, it was already after she had lived in Shaoqing Mansion for a while.This is what he learned when he became suspicious because of the dropped flower pot and ordered his men to check her situation.

He Qingxiao saw that Xinyou's face was not looking very good, he paused and said: "More importantly, I have been in contact with you a lot, I know you are not such a person."

At that time, she misunderstood that he was the murderer who killed Queen Xin and others, and she had to try again and again, for fear of accidentally hurting innocent people, let alone a poor girl like Kou Qingqing.

Xinyou was not comforted.

Corpse stink, corpse stink, corpse stink...

"Miss Kou—" He Qingxiao was a little at a loss.

Still angry?
Naturally, Xin You will not let her emotions go for too long. For her who has confessed half of her secrets, it is necessary for her to get along with Mr. He in a friendly way.

"I went into the mountain again, and indeed found Kou Qingqing's body, and temporarily hid the body together with her maid, Xiao Lian."

After talking about Kou Qingqing, Xin You suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Xiao Lian, who knew that she was not Kou Qingqing, saw that her steps were smooth and her wishes came true. In fact, only she knew the pressure.

If it is not a last resort, who wants to live as someone else.

What's even more tragic is that she still needs to be thankful for having this identity, and grateful for having this identity, which allows her to gain a foothold in the capital quickly and find the murderer.

But on the spring day when the winter snow melted, she was just a carefree person.

It is the child in the mother's eyes.

Now that He Qingxiao knows most of her secrets, at least she can be herself in front of him.

"If Mr. He finishes asking, I want to go back to the bookstore." Xin You's words were sincere and tentative.

Will he ask her why she came out tonight?
She hoped that the two of them would cooperate moderately in the future, instead of being unilaterally controlled by him.

"I send you."

Xinyou showed a faint smile: "Thank you."

Turning off the lights, the room suddenly darkened.Both of them were wearing black clothes, and they couldn't see each other for a moment, and their breathing was clear due to the sudden silence and darkness.

What also became clear was the smell of each other.

Xinyou's expression froze.

In order to play the tragic death of her mother, she used chicken blood on her face and body.The face has been washed off, but the clothes in the cloak have not been changed...

The people around him seemed to have lost their sense of smell, and said in an unchanged tone: "Miss Kou, walk carefully."

"I am very familiar with this place, Mr. He is careful."

The two walked out of the house, black clouds flowed in the sky, and the surroundings were endlessly dark, but when they got out of the courtyard, it became slightly brighter.

Xin You stopped and looked at the smashed door.

He Qingxiao coughed lightly: "Sorry."

"Master He is polite." Xin You pointed to the lock hanging on the side: "Did I lock the door?"

It's also good to tell Mr. He to open it, at least you don't have to arrange someone to lock the door during the day.

She fiddled with her hand and locked the door.

Walking out of the alley, the street is empty, and there are some faint lights in the distance.

The wind grew stronger, making the cloak flutter and flutter.

He Qingxiao looked at the girl whose face was pale from the cold, and walked silently on the side where the wind was blowing.

The door of the east courtyard of the bookstore is in front of you, Xin You stopped and said, "Master He, please go back to rest earlier."

He Qingxiao nodded slightly, looked at her reddish nose from the cold, and finally couldn't help but say: "It's getting colder and colder, Miss Kou should try to avoid going out at night."

"understood."

"Miss Kou, go in first."

Hearing what he said, Xin You didn't hesitate anymore, and quietly opened the door and walked in.

He Qingxiao looked in that direction, stood silently for a while, then lifted his feet and walked in one direction.

He didn't go to the Marquis of Changle, but the Yamen of Zhenfusi.

This night, it is destined not to go to bed early.

Xinyou returned to the warm room, took off her blood-smelling clothes and soaked in the steaming bathtub, and her hands and feet regained flexibility.

Xiaolian brought clean clothes and added hot water, but she didn't ask any questions.

In just a few months, she has experienced more than the previous ten years, and naturally she is no longer as simple as a blank sheet of paper.She could feel that after taking back her family's girl's property, the girl had to focus on her own business.

"Xiao Lian." Xin You called softly.

"Say girl."

The girl in the bathtub has snow-white shoulders, black hair like algae, and blood on her lower lip from the steaming heat.

"Those shops need to be taken care of by our own people. Why don't you and Nanny Fang just move out of the bookstore and take good care of those shops."

When Xiao Lian heard this, her face changed: "Girl, you want to send Xiao Lian away?"

Xin You didn't expect Xiaolian's reaction to be so strong, picked up the soft towel beside her and wiped her hair while saying, "Those shops belong to Miss Kou, and they will be the capital for you and Nanny Fang to settle down in the future. You should get started sooner."

"No!" Xiao Lian shook her head again and again, "Girl, don't chase the maidservant away. Let Nanny Fang take care of those shops, the maidservant just wants to follow the maidservant!"

When Xin You got up, Xiao Lian hurriedly wrapped her in a large blanket.

After getting dressed and combing her hair in front of the vanity mirror, Xin You continued the topic just now: "With those shops, you and Nanny Fang will have no worries for the rest of your life. This is what Miss Kou wants to see."

Xiao Lian simply knelt down: "The servant girl just wants to follow you!"

"It's cold on the ground, get up quickly." Xin You pulled him up helplessly, and confided some plans, "I'm going to be busy with my own business, and my life may be in danger. You may be implicated if you stay in the bookstore..."

Unlike Shopkeeper Hu and others, Xiaolian and Nanny Fang were brought out from the Shaoqing Mansion by her. If something happened to her as Miss Kou, she might be implicated.

"The servant girl knows, but the servant girl feels at ease following the girl, even if she is implicated, the servant girl is not afraid."

Xinyou waited to say more, but Xiaolian grabbed her wrist.

"Xiao Lian has already lost my girl, and I don't want to lose you again, please..."

She doesn't want any wealth, she just wants to guard her two girls.

Xin You was silent for a while, and asked seriously, "No regrets?"

Xiaolian nodded vigorously: "I don't regret it!"

Xin You looked at the young girl in full bloom in the mirror, and raised her lips slightly: "Okay."

It turns out that no matter how difficult the road is, she also has companions.

At dawn the next day, Chang Liang sat up suddenly, gasping for breath.

He subconsciously looked around, seeing the familiar furnishings and surroundings.

Did he see the hell last night?

After reacting, he immediately got out of bed and checked inside and out.

He still remembered that the female ghost shed blood and tears from the corners of her eyes and fell to the ground.But there was nothing, no trace of the female ghost's presence.

Chang Liang went to wash his face with cold water and spit on the ground.

It's really bad luck that the ghost is pressing the bed!
