She looked around in panic. The sound came from the abandoned house she passed by, and her strong curiosity prompted her to look for it.

One of the door panels of the abandoned house fell off, and when the moonlight came in, I saw a man in black lying on the ground.

After walking over, the man in black suddenly sat up, with only a pair of starry eyes exposed under the black cloth, glaring at her sternly.

Xue Rouer was startled and said, "I was passing by, do you need help?"

The man in black said coldly: "Get out."

Xue Rou'er curled her lips and said: "Forget it if you don't let me help. Anyway, it's you who are injured, not me. Whether you die or not is none of my business."

After that, she turned around and left.

"Wait a minute." The man in black called her after being scolded.

Xue Rouer turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"

The man in black hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you get me some water?"

Xue Rou'er nodded, went out to fetch water from the well at the end of the street, and carried it over with a gourd and ladle.

The man in black looked at the water but did not drink it. Xue Rouer knew that he was afraid of the poison, so she took a sip first.

Upon seeing this, the man in black immediately took the water ladle and drank it in a big gulp, and then said: "Thank you very much."

Xue Rou'er took out the ointment Zitong gave her and said, "This is what my friend gave me to heal my wounds. It's very effective. You can take it and use it."

The man in black took the box and said, "Are you from Xilan?"

Xue Rouer shook her head and said: "No, my friend is. Don't worry, this medicine is really effective. Look, my fingernails have started to grow out."

When the man in black saw her hand, he frowned and said, "How did you get those hands? Have you been tortured?"

Xue Rouer smiled and said: "No, this matter is in the past. Let's talk about today again. You are you and I am me. They have nothing to do with each other." After saying that, she stood up and left.

The man in black asked: "Don't you want to know who I am?"

Xue Rouer shook her head and said: "It's not necessary."

The man in black was startled, and looked at her retreating back with a smile on his lips. He was really an interesting young man.

Xue Rou'er returned to Xue Mansion, and Yu Nu had been waiting for her.

When Yu Nu saw her, she blamed her: "Miss, why did you come back?"

Xue Rou'er said: "My aunt suddenly gave birth prematurely. Fortunately, mother and child are safe."

Yunu smiled and said: "That's great. Miss, please go to bed quickly."

The two chatted for a while and then fell asleep.

Three days later, Xue Rouer put the painted pattern into a bamboo tube and hung it around Garfield's neck, and said: "Send it to the palace for me, and I will give you a chicken drumstick when I come back."

Garfield pursed his ears, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Xue Rou'er had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll give you a fat chicken."

"Meow!" Garfield left happily.

A snowball rolled out to catch up with Fei, but was blocked by the threshold. Looking at it, Xue Rou'er couldn't help but think of a sentence: "The legs will be short when they are used."

The jade slave picked up the snowball and said, "This little thing pesters Garfield every day, but does the eldest lady really want to go out with Master Ling on Chinese Valentine's Day?"

Xue Rou'er said: "Of course, I want to see what they do on Chinese Valentine's Day!"

Yunu looked at her with strange eyes and said nothing for a while.

Xue Rouer smiled and said: "Where are you thinking? I just went to take a look outside. Do you think I will have any trouble with him?"

Yunu said: "There is no best, he is not the lady's lover."

Xue Rou'er sighed: "How many people in this world who seem to be good friends eventually become enemies? And how many enemies finally become good friends?"

Yu Nu shook his head and said: "I don't understand."

Xue Rouer smiled, how to explain this kind of thing?

Garfield came back an hour later, but instead of the bamboo tube around his neck, there was a gold chain with a pendant at the end. The pendant was round and could be opened, with a note inside.

Xue Rou'er took out the note and wrote only a few words on it, "Late night talk in detail."

Yunu asked: "What's wrong?"

Xue Rou'er said: "My uncle asked me to come over in the evening. It seems that my father's past is hard to tell."

Yunu said: "What's wrong with Garfield?"

Xue Rou'er lowered her head and saw that Garfield was on his back and rolling his eyes. She knelt down and touched it, and found that his body temperature was normal. Then she remembered that she had promised him a fat chicken. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Damn cat, I will give it to you for dinner tonight."

A fat chicken."

Garfield became satisfied and saw the snowball at his feet, picking it up and playing with it.

Yunu smiled and said: "The pets raised by the eldest lady are all unusual."

Xue Rouer smiled and said: "You are scolding me for raising a freak."

The master and servant were chatting casually when an unexpected guest walked in.

Xue Qing'er said with a frosty face: "What's so good about you? Dad actually asked me to teach you how to read in person."

Xue Rou'er was startled, and then she remembered what Xue Li said about letting her study with Xue Qing'er. She felt that it was not necessary at all, so she said: "Since my sister is very busy, there is no need to come over. If dad asks, you can say that I am stupid.

I've been told to do my homework myself."

Xue Qing'er had no choice but to teach her anything, so her face softened a little and she said: "This is what you said. You have been stupid for fourteen years. You don't know a few characters, so just copy it first. I will send someone to you later.

Send me the copybook."

After saying that, she turned around and went out, then came back later and said with a stern face: "Don't go out on Qixi Festival, so as not to lose Xue Mansion's face in front of those ladies."

Xue Rouer smiled and said: "I'm afraid this won't work. Brother Ling said he would pick me up personally."

"You... that's all, just don't cry when you feel embarrassed." Xue Qing'er walked out angrily and did not come back this time.

Yunu hummed, "What? She's just a concubine, and she still shows off her power in front of the eldest lady."

Xue Rou'er said: "Forget it, let her be. I don't have time to talk to her now, but this copybook has won my heart. After all, a lady from a wealthy family will be laughed at if she can't write well." Although she learned in her previous life.

I have learned various ancient calligraphy, but I have never written it with a brush, so I still need to practice this calligraphy.

"Yu Slave, not only me, you also have to follow suit, you know?" Xue Rou'er said.

Yunu's eyes lit up and he said, "Is it true? Is this really possible for me to learn?"

Xue Rouer nodded and said: "Yes, I will teach you other things, but for now we will learn to write together first."

Xue Qing'er indeed sent a lot of copybooks, but the fonts on the copybooks were quite diverse, which seemed to be intended to make things difficult for her. However, in Xue Rou'er's eyes, it was like a treasure, and she could copy different fonts.

In the evening, after dinner, Xue Rouer quietly went out.

When passing by the abandoned house, she went in specifically to take a look. It was empty and the man in black was no longer there.

Entering the palace, Wang Rui was holding his child and walking around the room. Xue Rou'er couldn't help laughing when she saw it: "What are you doing, uncle?"

Wang Rui said: "Rou'er is here. Your brother is worried. He must be held while sleeping. If he stops, he will cry loudly."

Xue Rou'er smiled. It seemed that her uncle loved this child very much, so he said, "I will draw a picture for you, and you can order someone to build it for your brother."

Wang Rui asked: "What is it?"
