Waiting for pets

From that day on, Mu Jin came to Liyuan every day, either to sit and chat, or to bring some rare gadgets to Xie Yaohua.

In the eyes of others, Mu Jin's behavior is that he is courting Xie Yaohua again, but Xie Yaohua seems to be acquiescing. She was with Mu Jin when he came, and she didn't refuse the gadgets Mu Jin sent. .

At first Qingye didn't understand her master's thoughts, she only knew that the master had no affection for the fifth son Mu Jin, but the master's willingness to accept everything really made her puzzled.

Thus, Aoba expressed the doubts in her heart.

"Master, the fifth son comes every day, and you don't drive him away. You take what he gives, why?"

Xie Yaohua was writing a letter to Xie Chonghua, and she finished writing the last word. She said, "People have to bow their heads under the eaves. This is Xiyue, and the king of Xiyue is the biggest. We will show him whatever he wants to see. As for five elder brother……"

She changed the subject and sighed softly, "Fifth brother is also a poor man, he can't help himself in many things. Over the years, he has helped me a lot and has never harmed me. The most important thing in making friends with others is sincerity. I trust him."

Aoba was dumbfounded.

The fifth son used to pretend to be crazy and foolish, but now he didn't have to pretend, and he still didn't behave properly in front of her. Maybe she had preconceptions and thought that the fifth son was frivolous and shameless.

Never thought that the master would trust the fifth son so much.

The master never acted emotionally, and he never seemed to miss anyone.

Knowing Xie Yaohua's attitude towards Mu Jin, Aoba couldn't help but think of Yu Ziyan, and sympathized with him somewhat.

"Master, Mr. Yuebai is by the fifth son's side. He comes with the fifth son every day but he is not allowed to enter the house or meet you. Mr. Yuebai is very disappointed. He told me yesterday that he would go back to Liyuan to be on duty. In fact, it is his original intention to be by your side."

Although the two are masters and servants, they don't have so many rules when they get along with each other in daily life. Qingye doesn't need to deliberately restrain himself in front of Xie Yaohua, and there are some jokes.

In the past, Qingye didn't dare to be like this, and there was no such thing for her to make fun of, until after Yuziyan became Yuebai, Qingye often saw him watching outside the garden, and when Xie Yaohua didn't see him, he left sadly, it was really pitiful.

Xie Yaohua wasn't annoyed when Qingye said these things, after being depressed for a long time, it's not bad to have someone close and trustworthy to talk about what's on her mind.

When it comes to Yuziyan, Xie Yaohua's expression is much softer.

"It's good to leave him alone for a few days, he has to figure out many things by himself, he is a person who thinks a lot, but lacks courage.

Master's words were too profound, and Aoba couldn't fully understand its deep meaning for a while.

Sure enough, ordinary people can't guess the master's mind.

But after thinking about it, he felt that what the master said was reasonable, Mr. Yuebai was actually not as cowardly and incompetent as he appeared on the surface.

It's just that I don't know what Mr. Yuebai is worried about, he seems to be hesitating, he seems to be indecisive and unable to bear the responsibility.

Presumably the master guessed why Young Master Yuebai was so hesitant.

Qingye said again, "Master, Mr. Yuebai is very busy these days when he goes out early and returns late, and when he goes out, he will avoid the eyes and ears of the Houfu who are following him."

Xie Yaohua didn't show much surprise, waved his hands, and said, "Let him go, let Qingying assist secretly, and just protect him."

"Well, master..." Qingye nodded, and then he hesitated to speak.

Xie Yaohua gestured to her but said it was okay.

Qingye lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Qingye wants to serve Master all the time, and doesn't want to go to Fifth Young Master's side."

Actually troubled by this matter.

Xie Yaohua couldn't help but sized up Qingye, seeing that she didn't dare to raise her head, she already understood.

Who is Aoba trying to hide from?

"It was just an expedient measure to let you go to Fifth Brother's side before. Now that Mu Jiuxiao and Mu Fei have lost their power, they are not afraid that others will suspect your identity. Since you don't want to go to Fifth Brother's side again, then you won't go."

"Thank you, Master!" Qingye was overjoyed, thinking that he could finally get rid of that difficult Fifth Young Master.

At this time, the servant next to Mu Jin came in a hurry, and rushed in without waiting to knock on the door.

"Seven, seven...Young Master, Fifth Young Master was assassinated and injured, Third Young Master ordered the younger one to come, come and invite you to visit Fifth Young Master..."

The servant who came was from Mu Jin's courtyard, named Chang Sheng, he had been serving Mu Jin since he was a child, and he was the only honest person around Mu Jin, who stuttered when he was nervous.

Hearing the news of Mu Jin's assassination, Xie Yaohua didn't react, but Qingye beside him lost his composure.

"When did it happen"

"Five young masters, is there a serious problem?"

The little servant stuttered and said what he knew, and then "thumped" and knelt down in front of Xie Yaohua.

"Seventh Young Master, Fifth Young Master kept thinking about Qing and Qingye before he fainted... Third Young Master said..."

Seeing that he was too nervous to speak, Xie Yaohua waved him back.

Xie Yaohua glanced at Qingye, obviously very worried, but still pretended to be indifferent.

Ugh……

"Qingye, go to the Fifth Brother Courtyard to find out if the news is true."

"Yes."

Aoba retreated in response.

*

Not long after Qingye left, Yu Ziyan leisurely came to Liyuan, feeling very good.

He brought her back snacks from outside.

He wandered around in front of Xie Yaohua on purpose, but she never saw her look up at him. She was concentrating on flipping through the scroll in her hand, turning a blind eye to him.

Yu Ziyan suddenly panicked.

"Yaohua, look what I brought back for you." He leaned forward, his intention to please was very obvious.

Xie Yaohua put the book in his hand on the table, and looked up at him, not happy or angry.

"I heard that you've been busy lately. It seems that Fifth Brother has arranged fewer errands for you."

The corners of Yu Ziyan's mouth froze slightly, the pair of phoenix eyes behind the mask flickered, feeling guilty.

"I'm not busy, I really miss you, thinking of you telling me when you were young that you like hibiscus crisps the most, so I will go..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yaohua took the paper bag he handed over and opened it to read.

The pastry was still warm but two pieces fell apart.

"Have a heart."

She took the initiative to talk to him!

Yuziyan was overjoyed, the corners of her mouth raised, she patted her chest, and showed her as if offering a treasure.

"I put it in my arms and came back."

Xie Yaohua looked at him and saw that his clothes were a little messy on his chest, but he believed his words that he would put them in his arms and come back warmly.

Seeing her pick up a piece and taste it, he asked expectantly, "How does it taste?"

Xie Yaohua nodded, "It's okay."

It's just okay, but Yu Ziyan was very happy in his heart, "I will bring you some back from time to time."

Xie Yaohua didn't say a word, and finished the pastry in his hand.

I haven't eaten Furong crispy crisps for many years. Trying it again at this time, I can't help but recall some past events that are almost to be forgotten.

Not only does she like this hibiscus crispy heart, but it is also her mother's favorite snack. When she was young, her father often brought some home for her mother when she was out, and it was also warm.

At that time, she didn't understand why her mother always smiled so gently every time she ate the hibiscus crisps that her father brought home.

She once thought that her father was stingy, and she was reluctant to give the gold hairpin and jade bracelet, so she only gave her mother some snacks...

After she grew up, she gradually understood that the dull man kept his wife's preferences in his heart.

She likes to eat hibiscus crispy crisps, most likely because of her mother's influence. Apart from her father, mother and elder brother, Yu Ziyan is the only one who cares about this matter.

She no longer remembers when she mentioned it to him, never thought that he would remember it all the time.

It is indeed caring.

Xie Yaohua missed the familiar taste a little, so he ate two pieces in one go, and when he took a bite of the third piece, Yu Ziyan stopped him and snatched it away.

"I tasted it, it tastes great but it's a bit too sweet, you shouldn't eat more, I'll eat this for you."

It was rare to see her have such an appetite, so he was naturally happy, but he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable if she ate too much.

Xie Yaohua could only watch helplessly as the Hibiscus crispy crisps that she had bitten into his mouth.

This scene is a bit weird, and an ambiguous atmosphere spreads in the room.

Xie Yaohua looked away, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and when she looked up at him again, her expression returned to calm.

"Is your hand feeling any better?"

The right arm was injured first, and then the left hand was injured. Although she knew that his left hand was done on purpose, she was too lazy to expose him.

Yu Ziyan stretched out his right hand to serve the cup of tea that Xie Yaohua had just drank, but she gave her a fierce look, and withdrew her hand resentfully, and said with a smile, "Look, my right hand can serve you tea now."

"..."

The person in front of him looks like a fool, this is Xie Yaohua's state of mind at this time.

Yu Ziyan suddenly felt guilty, and silently stretched out her left hand to show her.

The wound on the palm has scabbed and healed.

Xie Yaohua took a look and pushed his hand away, then got up and walked out, Yu Ziyan hurriedly took her cloak and chased after her.

Before Xie Yaohua walked out of the room, she was shivered by the cold wind blowing towards her face, and her body was instantly wrapped in warmth. In a flash, Yu Ziyan had stood in front of her to block the cold wind, and carefully tied her clothes. Good cape tie.

When Xie Yaohua looked up at him, Yuzi said softly, "The weather has changed, your body will not be able to bear it if you go out like this, if you catch cold, you will have to drink those bitter medicines."

He was dumb in front of others, but he seemed to have endless words in front of her.

Xie Yaohua once again felt his care and consideration, and couldn't help but think of what Qingye said just now that he wanted to come back to Liyuan.

"I heard from Qingye that you don't want to stay in Fifth Brother's courtyard?" She asked him.

Yuzi was silent, and replied bluntly, "Well, I want to go back to Liyuan to take care of you."

take care of her?

Xie Yaohua shook his head and laughed, "You can discuss this matter with Fifth Brother yourself, if he agrees, you can come back."

Yuzi pursed her lips and arranged the cloak for her. After confirming that it was properly fitted, she withdrew her hand and stepped aside to let her go ahead.

She is going to visit Mu Jin at this time.

Mu Jin's injury was not serious, but he was stabbed in the arm with blood, and he declared that the injury was extremely serious.

Xie Yaohua came outside Mu Jin's dormitory, and Mu Jin was yelling at Qingye, insisting on forcing Qingye to take off the diaper to let him see Qingye's true face, Qingye naturally refused, and wanted to walk away, Mu Jin clung to him and did not let go.

Seeing that the two enemies in the house are so capable of tossing around, Xie Yaohua only stopped outside the door for a moment before leaving.

Yu Ziyan silently followed her out of the Hou Mansion, and went to Fengyue Pavilion to meet Xie Chonghua.

That day Xie Chonghua sent Xie Yaohua to Ding'an Hou's Mansion and left, staying in Fengyue Pavilion, waiting for Xie Yaohua to see him.

Xie Yaohua brought Yu Ziyan into the secret room, Xie Chonghua turned his back to them, staring at the book in his hand, he didn't even notice when they approached.

After Xie Yaohua saw clearly that Xie Chonghua was holding a military book, his expression also changed.

It was a relic left by their father.

"Brother, you're missing Dad again."

Hearing her voice, Xie Chonghua turned around, and Yu Ziyan showed surprise.

It was not the same face as the one she saw that day, but it was the one Yu Ziyan had seen before.

The two brothers and sisters look so much alike, but they are much different in stature.

Xie Chonghua was the heroic and upright look in Yu Ziyan's memory, but Xie Yaohua looked even weaker and thinner standing beside him.

It's no wonder that when she was young, she often pretended to be Xie Chonghua to enter the palace. As she grew up, there was a gap in the figure of the brother and sister, and people who knew each other could tell the difference at a glance.

Xie Chonghua looked at Xie Yaohua with eyes filled with pity, and reached out to caress her pale cheek, feeling guilty in his heart.

"It's because of my brother's incompetence. Don't tell me that I have caused you trouble. I still haven't found a way to save you..."

Xie Yaohua smiled slightly, held Xie Chonghua's hand, avoided talking about this matter, and directed the conversation to Yu Ziyan.

"I brought an acquaintance to see you. He has missed you very much these years. Do you still recognize him?"

Only then did Xie Chonghua turn his gaze to Yu Ziyan, but it was not very friendly.

"I only heard recently that you sent Qingying out to be that trash king...could it be him?"

It was only recently that I learned from others that my sister had gone to great lengths for a good-for-nothing boy, which made Xie Chonghua very angry.

This kid doesn't look special and deserves to be treated differently by my sister.

Xie Chonghua looked Yu Ziyan up and down, his eyes fell on Yu Ziyan's mask, and the more he looked at it, the more upset he became, "I saw that his face was seriously injured that day, why don't we let him go back to Nether Valley with me in a few days Ask Master Uncle to heal him."

After seeing Xie Chonghua himself, Yu Ziyan had mixed feelings, but he didn't know what to say, and he felt that Xie Chonghua seemed to have a prejudice against him.

Sensing his elder brother's hostility towards Yu Ziyan, Xie Yaohua was very helpless, "Master Wu Wu has shown Ziyan, his face can be cured, if you bring him back to Nether Valley, grandpa might drive you out of Nether Valley too Gu, the position of young master of Nether Valley should belong to someone else, without the protection of Nether Valley, it will be inconvenient for me to do things in the future, and I can't bear it."

Hearing this, Xie Chonghua couldn't laugh or cry, "My mother used to say that although you and I were twins, her wisdom only appeared in you. Grandpa originally wanted you to take over Nether Valley, but you didn't want to and pushed me out. , even if I don't become the young master, grandpa won't abandon you, you girl treats others so well, how can you be so cruel to your own brother."

There is a sour taste hidden in these words.

There was tender affection between the two brothers and sisters, Yuzi couldn't get in the words, so she listened quietly, at this moment he felt that Xie Yaohua was really laughing.

While laughing with Xie Chonghua, Xie Yaohua coughed suddenly, Xie Chonghua and Yuziyan couldn't react in time, she vomited a mouthful of blood, her eyes went dark, and she fell down.

"Yaohua!"

"Yao'er!"

The faces of both of them changed drastically, they exclaimed and reached out to help Xie Yaohua at the same time.
