He must completely cut off the love between the two of them.

Not giving the two of them a shred of hope.

But little did Xiao Guozhang know that all his calculations and chess moves had been seen through by Yun Luan a long time ago.

She deliberately tried to trick him into setting up a chess game, deliberately entering the chessboard and becoming the chess piece he thought he had already grasped.

Zhou Qingyan was unconscious for about two hours. After the doctor bandaged the wound and Xiaomu gave her some decoction, she slowly woke up.

The doctor has gone out to report to the father-in-law.

Now, they are the only two masters and servants left in this house.

Zhou Qingyan woke up and thought about the scene that happened before she fell into coma. She grabbed Xiaomu's hand in a panic and asked nervously: "Xiaomu, where is Mr. Luan? Is he okay? Is he not injured?"

Xiaomu looked at Zhou Qingyan with complicated eyes: "I should have been the one who was supposed to block the arrow. Girl, why did you rush up to block Mr. Luan's arrow? Do you know that it is very dangerous for you to do this?"

Zhou Qingyan's expression immediately changed.

Her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look directly into Xiaomu's eyes.

"I...I didn't know at the time that someone would make a cold arrow. I...I just did it all of a sudden as my mind went blank."

Xiaomu's eyes turned red, and her voice couldn't help but be choked with sobs.

"Girl, you're actually not worried about this slave's life, are you? You did it to protect Mr. Luan, so you rushed forward regardless of all dangers."

Zhou Qingyan's throat choked up, and she subconsciously wanted to explain.

But she found that she had no excuse at all.

She lowered her head, held her palms in her hands, and remained silent.

Xiaomu looked at Zhou Qingyan's acquiescence, and the anger in her heart suddenly surged.

She suddenly stood up from the bed and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Zhou Qingyan, are you in love with Mr. Luan?"

"Are you attracted to him?"

Zhou Qingyan pursed her lips, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Xiaomu's eyes were full of disappointment: "Liniang's words didn't give you the slightest warning? Men can't be trusted. If you fall in love, you will definitely fall into the Asura Hell. Girl, you know that it is an abyss. You Why are you still being stupid and making such mistakes?”

Zhou Qingyan then raised her head and looked at Xiaomu with red eyes.

"Xiaomu... Mr. Luan is an extremely kind and good man. He will not be unkind and unjust like other men."

"He risked his life to save my life. No one has ever risked his life and risked everything to save me."

Xiaomu smiled coldly: "You are such a fool. How can a mere life-saving grace cause your heart to be completely lost?"

Zhou Qingyan's face showed a hint of pain.

"I don't want to do this either, but I can't control my heart."

"Xiaomu, I can't help it. Tell me, what should I do to endure the love and not be tied down by the love in this world?"

A tear slipped from the corner of Xiaomu's eye.

She naturally knew that Zhou Qingyan had indeed lived a very hard life.

As long as there is someone who is willing to risk his life for her, she can easily surrender her true feelings at that moment.

Not only Zhou Qingyan is like this, isn't she also such a person?

Precisely because Zhou Qingyan interceded for her in front of Lin Niang and did not let her receive guests, leaving her to serve him, she has been staying with Zhou Qingyan until now.

In these years, if it weren’t for Zhou Qingyan’s protection.

Her innocence is long gone.

She has long since become a ruined woman, a promiscuous woman who is watched by thousands of people.

Therefore, she would spend her whole life repaying Zhou Qingyan's great kindness to her.

She hoped that Zhou Qingyan could take advantage of the opportunity and climb higher and higher. One day, Zhou Qingyan would become the most noble and noble woman in the Liang Kingdom.

This is the path she should take.

Xiaomu raised his sleeves and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"No matter what, you must forget Luan Yun. Girl, if you still want to live, you must forget him..."

"Otherwise, if you let the abbot know your thoughts, you should understand that both of us will die miserably. There are some feelings that should not be touched. If they are touched, it will lead to an abyss of eternal destruction. Which is lighter or heavier, you can weigh it yourself."

"My life has been tied to you for a long time. No matter what decision you make, I, Xiaomu, will follow it without regrets."

Xiaomu lowered his head and walked out of the room silently.

Zhou Qingyan turned to look at Xiaomu's leaving figure, her eyes filled with tears and she couldn't stop crying.

She knew that her own feelings were never up to her.

Being moved is equivalent to losing one's life.

How could she not understand what Xiaomu meant?

She was in a trance when suddenly there was a knock on the door and the voice of Xiao Guozhang came from outside: "Qingyan, are you awake?"

Zhou Qingyan was startled, and she quickly responded: "Father, my daughter is awake, please come in."

Xiao Guozhang opened the door and walked in with Yun Luan from the outside with a smile.

Yun Luan's eyes were gentle and he nodded at Zhou Qingyan.

Zhou Qingyan's cheeks couldn't help but heat up.

She lowered her head slowly.

Xiao Guozhang inquired about her body, and then said directly: "Qingyan, after something happened, you and Mr. Luan really formed a deep bond. He saved you, and you saved him." .”

"If I don't do something, I may cause others to gossip. You are about to be drafted, so you must not make any mistakes at this time, right?"

Zhou Qingyan was startled, not quite understanding what Xiao Guozhang meant.

She raised her head blankly and looked at him.

"Father, what do you mean..."

"Today, I will make the decision for you. You will become sworn brothers and sisters today. From now on, we will support each other and save each other's lives in vain." Xiao Guozhang smiled from ear to ear and replied loudly. .

Zhou Qingyan's body stiffened, and she looked at Xiao Guozhang in disbelief.

"We are sworn brothers and sisters?"

Xiao Guozhang nodded, ignoring Zhou Qingyan's ugly expression, and turned to look at Yun Luan.

"Master Luan also agreed."

Yun Luan took advantage of the situation and nodded slowly: "I think this proposal from the father-in-law is very good. Miss Zhou, I am willing to sworn brother and sister with you. From now on, you are my sister, and your affairs are mine. Things. I will definitely protect you and let you go further and further."

Xiao Guozhang smiled and nodded with great satisfaction.

Zhou Qingyan's face turned pale, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Sworn brother and sister?

Could it be that she has never existed in Mr. Luan's heart?

Is all this just her own passion?

Xiao Guozhang coughed a few times in a low voice and could not help but deepen his voice.

"Qingyan, what, do you have any objections?"

Zhou Qingyan quickly came to her senses and nodded absently.
