23. Chapter 23(1/2)
Xu Miaoyin looked at Xu Jiaoyue in surprise, it turned out that her sister could still say such words.
"Jiaojiao, what...what do you want to say?"
While Xu Miaoyin was surprised, she was also shocked to realize that her sister seemed to have changed too much.
Xu Jiaoyue lowered her eyes and said, "Sister, it's actually nothing. I was just feeling emotional for a moment."
Seeing that she was a little sad, Xu Miaoyin asked softly: "But Qin Zhan bullied you?"
Xu Jiaoyue was stunned and shook her head, "It's not him. He is actually very good to me, but I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."
Xu Miaoyin took her hand and said: "When two people get along, there will be friction to some extent. Although you and Qin Zhan are in love, there are inevitably some bumps and bruises. You both need to be considerate of each other for a long-lasting relationship.
plan."
Xu Jiaoyue blushed because she was embarrassed. She and Qin Zhan were colleagues at most, but they had to play lovers. It was really difficult for Qin Zhan to do that.
Xu Jiaoyue withdrew her hand and said: "Sister, this has nothing to do with him, it's me...hey, I don't know what to say."
Xu Miaoyin smiled and said, "So you lost your temper again and bullied Qin Zhan?"
"I didn't!" Xu Jiaoyue retorted.
Xu Jiaoyue raised her eyes and saw Xu Miaoyin's unbelieving expression. She was a little helpless. It turned out how arrogant Xu Jiaoyue was to make her sister distrust her so much.
Well, although she had a little fondness for Qin Zhan and was indeed a bit harsh towards him, she didn't say she bullied him. It was just that he didn't come to her after he came back from Yujing, and she did feel a little depressed...
…
Xu Jiaoyue was startled. Why did she feel depressed? Is it just because he didn't come to see her immediately?
Seeing her lowering her head, Xu Miaoyin said, "You are the one who is so stubborn. I think Qin Zhan is honest. Don't always bully others."
When Xu Jiaoyue heard this, she muttered: "He is not honest."
Seeing that she seemed a little unconvinced, Xu Miaoyin said angrily: "You are very arrogant and arrogant. Fortunately, Qin Zhan can tolerate you. You should be nicer to him."
"Oh, sister, it's not what you think. I didn't bully him, and he didn't bully me either. I can't tell what happened with him for a while."
Xu Jiaoyue waved her hand, changed her words, and said: "My sister only knows how to persuade me, so you and your brother-in-law are not just venting your anger."
Xu Miaoyin was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face faded a little, "Your brother-in-law and I are not angry."
Xu Jiaoyue did not expose her, and asked: "Then why do you look weird today? Did my brother-in-law do something to feel sorry for you?" After saying that, she took a sneak peek at Xu Miaoyin.
Xu Miaoyin asked doubtfully: "Why do you think it was your brother-in-law who did something sorry for me?"
Xu Jiaoyue did not answer her question, but said sternly: "Sister, if my brother-in-law has done anything sorry for you, we will divorce him and find a better one."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her non-joking expression and asked hesitantly: "Jiaojiao, do you know something?"
"I..." Xu Jiaoyue was about to say something, but she caught a glimpse of the lavender clothes passing by the door, and changed her words: "I don't know anything. I just saw that my sister didn't even look at my brother-in-law today, so I guessed that my brother-in-law was causing trouble with the family."
Sister is just angry."
Xu Miaoyin patted her head dotingly and said with a smile: "We Jiaojiao have grown up, and we know how to watch her words and emotions."
Xu Jiaoyue took off her hand, glanced at the door, and whispered in Xu Miaoyin's ear: "Sister, don't trust your brother-in-law too much..."
"Girl, my uncle is waiting at the door to take you back."
Before Xu Jiaoyue finished speaking, Yuqiu walked in. Xu Jiaoyue had to stop mid-sentence and squeezed Xu Miaoyin's hand hard.
Xu Miaoyin looked at Xu Jiaoyue who seemed to have something to say, so she said to Yuqiu: "Let him go back first. I want to talk to Jiaojiao for a while longer."
Yuqiu turned around and looked at the door with some embarrassment. Just as he was about to turn around and go out, he saw Xiao Qi walking in, and Yuqiu stepped aside.
Xiao Qi glanced at Xu Jiaoyue lightly, and said to Xu Miaoyin with a gentle face: "Jiaojiao, let's go back. Qin Zhanyang, I said I wanted to see my little sister, and we also let them talk. Qin Zhan came back with me and I haven't seen him yet.
Pass my little sister."
After saying that, Xiao Qi took her hand and wanted to walk out, but Xu Miaoyin held Xu Jiaoyue motionless, unwilling to follow him.
Seeing that Xu Miaoyin didn't want to leave, Xiao Qi's eyes turned cold when he saw her holding Xu Jiaoyue's hand. Xu Jiaoyue suddenly took back the hand held by Xu Miaoyin and said hurriedly: "Sister, please go with your brother-in-law. We will meet again later."
Narrative."
Xu Miaoyin put her hands into her sleeves and said to Xu Jiaoyue: "Then I'll go back first. If you have anything to say, tell Qin Zhan, do you understand?"
Xu Miaoyin saw Xu Jiaoyue nodded obediently, ignored Xiao Qi, turned around and walked out of the room, and happened to see Qin Zhan waiting outside the door.
Xu Miaoyin stopped in front of Qin Zhan and said with a faint smile: "Although Jiaojiao has a bit of an arrogant temper, she has a simple heart. If you have anything to say, please tell her and don't be stubborn with her."
Qin Zhan was stunned for a moment and glanced at Xiao Qi who followed Xu Miaoyin out. Seeing his master's face was pale, although he didn't know why Xu Miaoyin said this, he still responded respectfully.
Seeing his sincere attitude, Xu Miaoyin said nothing more and moved out of Ling Yuexuan.
Xiao Qi followed her out of Ling Yuexuan.
When Qin Zhan saw the two of them walking away, he entered the house.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xu Jiaoyue also walking out.
Xu Jiaoyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect Qin Zhan to really come. She thought it was Xiao Qi who was making nonsense to trick Xu Miaoyin into going back.
"Why are you here?" Xu Jiaoyue asked.
Qin Zhan glanced at her legs that were walking freely, raised his eyes and said to her, "Master asked me to come."
Hearing his answer, Xu Jiaoyue felt a little confused and said dullly: "They are all gone, and there is no need to act anymore. Can you go?"
After saying that, she entered the inner room, but heard footsteps coming from behind. When she turned around, she saw that it was Qin Zhan who had followed in.
"I said, aren't you the most particular about the defense of men and women? Why did you follow me in?" Xu Jiaoyue looked at Qin Zhan jokingly and said.
Qin Zhan was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He turned around unnaturally and stood at the door of the inner room and said: "There are people following Madam, please don't say anything you shouldn't say."
Chen Fengling also told her what Qin Zhan said. She sneered, "Then you don't know what I said very well, so why bother reminding me now."
Qin Zhan saw that she was incapable of playing tricks and advised him: "Don't think that the master doesn't blame you now. He only allows you to be presumptuous for the sake of his wife. If one day you really touch his bottom line, he will not let you go." , you don’t know the master’s methods.”
Xu Jiaoyue said with a cold face: "I do what I want to do, what does it have to do with him!"
Qin Zhan closed the door to the inner room and said in a low voice: "I know you pity my wife, but who do you think you are? You and I are just following orders!"
Qin Zhan took another step closer, "So, no matter what you want to do, just give it up."
Xu Jiaoyue still looked stubborn, but she didn't refute him.
Seeing that she seemed to have listened to what he said, Qin Zhan told her about the recent situation in the mansion, "In the past few days, the mansion has been conducting strict inspections, and anyone with the slightest deviance has been executed. Don't worry about it at this juncture." Do something outrageous."
Xu Jiaoyue was startled and asked, "What happened?"
"A spy sneaked in and seemed to have contacted the madam. I don't know what he said to the madam. The master ordered a strict investigation of the whole house. Therefore, Qiao Zhi was expelled from the shadow team. He has accompanied the master all the way until now. Anyone can end up like this, let alone you and me, so don't even think about teasing the master's beard." Qin Zhan looked at her solemnly and warned.
Xu Jiaoyue was slightly in a trance, as if she thought of something, her eyes lit up.
Seeing her lowering her eyes, Qin Zhan didn't know what she was thinking. He took another step forward, grabbed her arm, and said anxiously: "Did you listen to what I said?"
Xu Jiaoyue's arm hurt from being scratched by him, but she came to her senses, shook off his hand, took two steps away from him, rubbed her arm, and said lightly: "I understand, you go back, I want to rest."
Qin Zhan knew that he had hurt her in his impatience, but when he saw her cold attitude, he couldn't help but go forward. He softened his tone and said softly: "Don't do anything stupid. Let's wait until the master has finished taking care of Duke Rong. Naturally, you can escape unscathed, and you can also leave here and be yourself."
Xu Jiaoyue is not stupid, she also understands what Qin Zhan means, but she can't see them deceiving Xu Miaoyin like this, and she really wants to help her.
Since a spy can sneak into the Xu Mansion, it proves that the Xu Mansion is not as impregnable as imagined, and she can always find opportunities.
By then, not only will she be able to be herself, but she may also be able to leave here with Xu Miaoyin, as long as she has a thorough plan.
She thought about it and planned to get some news from Qin Zhan. Then she turned around and said with a smile: "Okay, I know what you mean. I won't do anything stupid. Let me ask you..."
She approached Qin Zhan and continued, "How did that spy sneak in?"
Seeing her approaching, Qin Zhan took half a step back and said warily: "Why do you ask this?"
Xu Jiaoyue took another half step forward and said with a smile: "I'm just curious. The entire Xu Mansion is closely monitored by secret guards. How did the spy get in? Tell me."
Qin Zhan saw that she looked curious and didn't look like she was faking, so he replied: "I don't know this very well. The person who knew about it has been killed, and one person has not been found yet. The master has left this matter to Shadow, so
I don’t know the key to it either.”
"The spy is still in the house?" Xu Jiaoyue asked.
Qin Zhan shook his head and expressed his ignorance, "That man is good at disguising, and he probably escaped from the house long ago, so now no one is allowed to leave the house at will."
Xu Jiaoyue curled her lips. It seemed that Qin Zhan couldn't ask anything here. She still had to think of a solution on her own. She didn't know how that person sneaked in without anyone noticing and escaped smoothly?
Qin Zhan had said everything he needed to say, and knowing that she was not indifferent, he said no more and only said: "Don't think too much, just do what we should do, and the master will not treat us badly.
It's getting late, you can rest, I'm leaving."
Xu Jiaoyue was thinking about something and waved her hand nonchalantly.
Qin Zhan didn't pay attention. He turned around and opened the door and left the inner room. When he left Ling Yuexuan, he suddenly felt someone peeping behind him. He looked back, but found nothing. The feeling of being peeped suddenly disappeared. He stopped and looked around again.
, didn’t find anything strange, and then stepped out of Ling Yuexuan.
…
Xu Miaoyin followed Xiao Qi behind her, and she did not speak to him, so the two of them walked all the way back to Lanyin Courtyard.
Xu Miaoyin went straight into the inner room without closing the door. Xiao Qi hesitated and followed her in.
Xiao Qi entered the inner room and saw Xu Miaoyin sitting on the soft couch with her eyes slightly lowered. She didn't know what she was thinking. She seemed to hear his footsteps and then raised her eyes to look at him.
