Soft-waisted little maid

Chapter 6 A frightening night

The summer night at this time was still hot and stuffy, and Xue Ke was only covered with a thin quilt and still had a lot of sweat on his forehead.

At this time of year, all the masters of the Sun Mansion have a lot of ice cubes ready in their houses. For example, Third Brother has two cubes ready not only in his house, but also in his study.However, there are naturally no second-class maids like her.

Xue Ke had no choice but to stand up, put on a coat, and leaned against the table to get a sip of cold tea.

I don't know what happened.

She always slept very well, lying down to sleep, but today she closed her eyes for a long time and still didn't feel sleepy at all. She couldn't tell whether it was because of the weather or because of the undisguised message that the mistress passed to her when she was on duty. Cold attitude.

Thinking of this, the other person's indifferent face popped up in her mind. She was so frightened that she put down the teacup and quickly patted her face.

This man is uncertain and his thoughts are hard to guess. I was careless today, and it would be better to stay away from him in the future.

Just as he was about to put down his tea cup and go back to the cup, a series of knocks suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Who?" Xue Ke could only vaguely see the outline of a figure pasted on the white oil paper through the door.

The people outside didn't say anything and knocked twice more.

In the silent night, only this knock on the door seemed unusually abrupt and strange.

Xue Ke, who was originally going to open the door, suddenly stopped for this reason.

Tu Xiang's shift would be at midnight every day, so she always kept the door open for her. The lock in this room was always lightly hung and never locked. The person standing outside the door at the moment was who?

If the person outside the door is wearing incense, how can he knock on the door but not come in?
A bad thought flashed through her mind, but by the time she reacted and rushed to lock the door, it was already too late.

The person outside raised his hand and pushed open the two wooden doors on the left and right. The warm night wind outside instantly poured into the room. Under the backlight of the bright moon, Xue Ke vaguely recognized the person coming.

It was her godbrother Xu Chengxiang.

"Why are you here?"

Perhaps because he instinctively felt the danger, even on such a hot day, Xue Ke still had goosebumps all over his body.

Xu Chengxiang took two steps in, and Xue Ke immediately smelled the stench of alcohol coming from him, and couldn't help but be forced to take two steps back, holding on to the edge of the table.

Just looking at Xu Chengxiang's flushed face, even though his eyes were half-squinted, he could still clearly see the scarlet bloodshot eyes.He seemed to be unsteady on his feet. He was holding a wine bottle in his hand and was still stumbling on his feet. He spoke with a loud tongue, and it took ten words to be understood.

"Mom, have you ever had a drink?" he said, waving to the snow guest, "Brother, I deserve a thick cup."

Of course the snow guest will not move.

What's more, this distance is enough for her to guess the other person's thoughts——

He planned to take her by force.

"Lili doesn't have the four characteristics. Brother, the four look at the inside."

"This is the third young master's yard. You can't come in." Xue Ke could only try his best to sound calmer, but his lips were trembling uncontrollably. After that, he added anxiously, "Wait a moment to apply the incense. I’m about to come back—” “Fart—” Xu Chengxiang interrupted her harshly, speaking in a long voice and spitting out saliva. He wrinkled his face angrily, as if he wanted to tear this third young master’s bones apart. , stuffed it into his mouth and bit it into pieces, "Zong Sa, how dare a little kid stand in my way, grandpa?"

Xueke's hand on the table trembled slightly.After all, she had lived two lifetimes, but this time she faced such a thing and had no idea what she should do.

She is not a fool. She naturally knows how big the strength gap is between a 16-year-old woman and an adult man. The possibility of forcing her way out is too small.

What if she screamed for help?Xue Ke opened his mouth, but suddenly he was afraid.

He heard the other party's thoughts clearly.

"If this girl dares to spread the word, I will say that she has been with me since she was a child. No one will confirm it anyway. When the time comes, she will still have to marry me obediently and she will not be able to escape from the palm of my hand."

Xue Ke looked at the man in front of him, trembling with fear and not daring to gamble at all.

So she secretly hid the teacup on the table with her backhand.

If he went any further, she would smash the teacup over his head, then hold the pieces of the teacup against his throat and force him to get out.

Just scare him
She had clearly planned this in her mind, but her hands still kept shaking and even her legs were weak.

"Why hide? Sooner or later they will all be mine." After saying these words, Xu Chengxiang let go of his hand, threw the wine glass to the ground, and rushed towards her with his red eyes widened.

Xue Ke felt that the blood in his chest was boiling, his heart was beating wildly, his hand unconsciously clenched the tea cup, and he was preparing to wait for the critical moment when he approached and raised his hand to give him a hard blow, but he was suddenly reminded of something outside the door. There were two heavy knocks on the door.

The two people in the room were stunned and stopped in place.

Xue Ke looked away from Xu Chengxiang's side and saw a man holding a lamp standing outside the door, his figure blurred under the moonlight.

Although the door was still wide open, the man was standing outside, hiding behind the door and not coming in. He just stood like this, lighting a lamp in his hand, and in an instant, he felt relieved for this long and frightening night. Fluffy warm light.

"Here we come." Xue Ke didn't hesitate, and immediately took the opportunity to push away the person in front of him, tidied himself up briefly, and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, he was stopped by the other party again.

"Miss Xueke." The voice came from Liu Zhu, the Third Young Master's book boy, "Third Young Master, please go to the study." As he said that, he seemed to have remembered something, and added, "The Third Young Master asked me to tell you. There are a lot of snakes, insects, rats, and ants in our yard in the summer. If you are bitten by something dirty as soon as you move here, it will be difficult for him to explain it in front of the old lady. So if you accidentally encounter something in the future, you can come to her at any time. If you tell me, he will definitely beat those pickled things to death one by one and throw them outside the house."

Xue Ke suddenly calmed down, thanked the other party, and immediately turned around and left without waiting for anyone outside the door.

She turned around and shouted coldly at Xu Chengxiang, who was so frightened by the situation that he was so drunk that he woke up from drinking: "Why don't you get out of here?! Or do you want me to bring you in front of the third young master to kill you?"

"Sister, brother." He said a few words in embarrassment, but when he saw Xue Ke's eyes, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say any more.

He has always been a bully who only knows how to show off his abilities through words, but this time he also borrowed the courage of wine.Now he was covered in cold sweat from head to toe. He left behind a sentence of "Don't tell the third young master," and ran away in a panic with his tail between his legs, not even daring to look back.

Xue Ke looked at the man's retreating back, feeling that all his strength had been drained from his body at this moment, and he suddenly collapsed at the table.

It was still so hot today, but she only felt cold in her hands and feet. The whole room made her feel like she was in an ice cellar. She wished she could not stay here any longer.
