Ghost King's Peerless Poison Concubine

Chapter 181 No matter how good she is, she is not you after all

"You guys don't know that. I heard that Young Master Xiao was born weak and sick. In the past, in order to keep him alive, Mrs. Xiao asked some Taoist to take him to some mountain to cultivate his body and save his life. , It has been many years since I left, and it may not be less than ten years until now."

"Then why did he suddenly go back to the city? Why didn't he hear that Young Master Xiao is back outside?"

"Go back to the mansion in secret. Who knows, who is willing to say more about the affairs of these high-ranking and big families? Also, there are so many young masters in Xiao's mansion, and Master Xiao loves this young man the most. What do you think about the meaning of passing it on to this young master, if you are the young masters of the Xiao family, would you be willing to have this young master come back?"

"You mean to say—" Someone gasped and lowered his voice extremely low.

"Shhh, don't say it, don't say it, we broke up, if the eldest lady finds out..." Everyone shuddered unanimously, and hurriedly dispersed.

After Xiao Anxin waited in the reception hall for a while, Bai Liuli, dressed in ordinary attire, came to the hall. She was dressed in heavy black, but Xiao Anxin felt comfortable, because the fiery red dress last night was too dazzling. , too sad.

"Miss Bai." Xiao Anxin's gaze has been tightly locked on Bai Liuli since she appeared in his line of sight and never left. After she walked into the front hall, he said with a gentle smile, "I came here uninvited, I don't know Did it cause any inconvenience to Miss Bai?"

"Young Master Xiao, what's the matter? Young Master Xiao came to visit our residence for the first time, but Liu Li didn't greet him in person. I hope Young Master Xiao is not so strange." But he was uncomfortable, still in a calm and generous manner, politely replied to Xiao Anxin's words, and after sitting down on the main seat, he asked straight to the point, "I don't know why Young Master Xiao came to our residence today, why?"

"Because—" the smile at the corners of Xiao Anxin's eyes sank, but became more and more gentle, as if he had soaked in the softest and warmest spring breeze, staring at Bai Liuli's pupils like water cut water, every word was tender, "I want to see you."

I came to you because I wanted to see you.

Bai Liuli's hand that was holding the teacup trembled violently, almost dropping the teacup to the ground. The servant girls standing on both sides of the front hall, when they heard Xiao Anxin's words that were so gentle that they couldn't be more gentle, they all agreed. He raised his head and looked at Young Master Xiao who dared to speak his mind so bluntly. Even though this sentence was not addressed to them, it made their hearts pounding and their cheeks flushed, because they had never What man dare to say such a thing in front of everyone, and he is a gentle and gentle son like jade.

Bai Liuli raised her eyes to look at Xiao Anxin, Xiao Anxin's eyes did not flicker, Junmei lowered her head, her hands hanging by her side clenched into fists, trembling slightly, as if trying to hold back something.

It's no wonder that the servant girl was shocked and ashamed, because Bai Liuli was also shocked. After all, this is the ancient times of feudalism. Even if she had feelings in her heart, she only dared to flirt secretly and dare not say it so bluntly. But they all know that everything here is the same as the world they used to live in, and everything must follow the etiquette, not to mention that Baili Yunjiu, who promised to protect her forever, didn't tell her How can such words not be shocking to someone who has never loved before.

"Young master Xiao is joking." Bai Liuli smiled slightly.

"No, Miss Bai, I like you." Xiao Anxin's eyes were burning.

"Pa——" The sound of the teacup falling to the ground and shattering followed closely, but it was not the teacup in Bai Liuli's hand, but the teacup on the tea table beside Junmei.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to have fallen into a deathly silence with the sound of the teacup shattering. Junmei's complexion was very pale, and the back of her hand was red and swollen after being scalded by the tea. Seeing the expression on her face, while apologizing, she squatted down to pick up the fragments of the teacup at her feet, just like tidying up her broken heart.

Because it was too difficult to control her emotions, she, who was always careful, cut her hand when picking up the fragments of the teacup, and the beaded blood dripped on the milky white porcelain fragments, scarlet red.

Xiao Anxin remained indifferent, as if he hadn't heard the movement of Junmei behind him at all, but slightly closed his eyelids, but every move of Junmei and even the change of expression on his face were completely caught in Bai Liuli's eyes, and took the lead Breaking the strange silence, "Come here, take Miss Junmei down to bandage the wound on her hand."

"Yes, miss." A servant girl responded, but she walked towards Junmei cautiously. Although they were both servants, they always felt that the cold appearance of this young master Xiao's servant girl made no one enter. People think she is not just a servant like them.

Junmei reacted strongly to the maidservant's approach. She stood up immediately, ignoring her own scratches, and said coldly, "Thank you Patriarch Bai for your concern. It's just a small injury, so there's no need to bandage it."

"Junmei, go." Just as the servant girl carefully looked up at Bai Liuli and waited for orders, the silent Xiao Anxin suddenly spoke softly, and Junmei's cold attitude instantly faded away. Slowly said, "Yes, my lord, then I will have to trouble this girl."

After Junmei finished speaking, she took a deep look at Xiao Anxin's back, turned around and walked out of the hall with the servant girl.

Bai Liuli looked at Junmei's slightly thin back, and for a moment didn't know what to say to Xiao Anxin, but Xiao Anxin looked at her with a gentle smile, "It's my first time in the White Mansion, I wonder if Miss Bai would mind taking me with you?" Take a walk in the mansion?"

Xiao Anxin's gaze was gentle and burning, which made Bai Liuli feel that it was not right to just sit in this hall, nor to ask him to leave, so she politely said: "It is an honor for our mansion to have Young Master Xiao come to our mansion. Young Master Xiao didn't give up, so Liuli led Young Master to walk in the mansion."

Bai Liuli said, stood up from the chair, led Xiao Anxin to the back garden slowly without asking the servant girl to follow her.

Without Junmei to wait on her, Xiao Anxin turned the wooden wheelchair under her body alone. There are more trees than flowers and plants in the back garden of the Bai Mansion. It is late autumn, and the fallen leaves are flying around. The dead leaves on the ground, the heavy wooden wheelchair rolling on the gravel path with fallen leaves, and the sound of the wheel axle are very clear in the back garden of no one. There was a slight clicking sound, but it also showed a unique meaning of late autumn.

Bai Liuli walked beside Xiao Anxin, walking slowly, as if to let Xiao Anxin have enough time to appreciate the late autumn scenery in the back garden, and as if deliberately taking care of his inconvenient legs and feet, but no matter what, on the quiet path There was only the sound of wooden wheels rolling, but no conversation between the two.
