Cao Xiwan hid Xiliu in the rockery cave. At this time, she carried him out and walked towards the west corner gate.
Liu Ruhai also left from the west corner gate, only to see the jagged rocks and the wind-blown shadows, but he didn't notice her squatting in the grass. Fortunately, Cao Xiwan was too busy criticizing the thin willow tree for being too heavy. He didn't realize that the passing servant was actually
It was Liu Ruhai. She tied the thin willow to her back with two belts. She worked hard like an ordinary woman. Qin Meng reminded her that it made sense - caution is the best.
This is like the meaning of Chen's mother giving her a dagger. It is said outside that she practices both methods, but now she is in the most dangerous period.
——It's better to pretend to be useless and make people incomprehensible.
Liu Ruhai and Su Jintian made an appointment to meet outside the clan's mansion. Su Jintian saw that the time was approaching and also put on his clothes and got up.
The figures in the house swayed with the night wind outside the window.
Qinhuai songs and dances, and the passing music.
Su Jintian has curly black hair, green eyes, and a pale complexion, which can be seen in the weak young man in the neighborhood back then. Now Su Jintian's eyes have the look of an eagle, and the blood marks between his eyebrows are red.
Xiao Qiao quickly got up, took out the clothes from the clothes rack, and put a coat on him. He had indeed been suffering from a cold for the past few days. It seemed that he was not good at swordsmanship.
He stood up, folded his arms in the room, and muttered: "Qingluo--the list of secret stakes she planted in the Xungui Mansion in the capital was given to me. But I don't even know how those two eunuchs died.
I don’t know.”
"Brother--" Xiao Qiao hesitated.
He waved his hand and said, "I also have someone I'm looking for at the bottom of the box. Will I give my hand to her?"
Xiao Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But he noticed that Su Jintian was staring at him. The twelve brothers and sisters among them were the ones who had Su Jintian at the bottom of the box.
Xiao Qiao understood and smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, you know me, Madam Qing is good to me. Naturally, I am also very good to her. But who is close and who is distant, don't I know in my heart? After the master died, we -
—”
Su Jintian's eyes were warm and he patted his shoulder.
Xiao Qiao sighed again: "Besides, don't I know? She treats us well just because she looks at you. It's not like she won't marry unless I am."
Su Jintian couldn't help laughing and looked at this most outstanding junior fellow student with a smile: "What did you tell her?"
"I didn't dare to say it." Xiao Qiao looked downcast, "She doesn't mean that to me."
Cao Xiwan quietly came out of the corner door with Xiliu on his back, panting from exhaustion.
She didn't call her partner. It was dark outside the corner door. She stuck her head and whispered: "Dad——?"
A dark shadow jumped out, and she was startled. Her father, Cao, had his hands on his hips and looked at his daughter with disgust.
"What are you calling me for?"
"I have something to do. If I don't look for dad, who should I look for?"
"...Hmph. If you ask San Xi'er to find me, then I have to come?"
You're already here, why are you talking nonsense? Cao Xiwan just pretended not to hear: "Where is the car?"
Father Cao pointed to the bottom of the alley. He had borrowed a mule carriage during the day. He brought the mule carriage over and parked it outside the corner gate. He also looked at the thin willows growing in the corner gate: "This
who is it?"
She carried Xiliu over and urged: "Hurry, it only takes a while."
She figured that the patrol had just passed and she would be caught if she slowed down. Father Cao thought she was afraid of the gatekeeper, Mrs. Ji, and scolded her for being useless. Mrs. Ji, for the sake of his face and two bottles of wine, just went
I went to bed, and no one was watching here for at least half a stick of incense.
"Dad is here, what are you afraid of?"
"..." Her father seems to be very good at doing sneaky things. Cao Xiwan thought. She knew that Mrs. Ji would easily doze off at this hour. If her father didn't send two bottles of wine, Mrs. Ji would also have to take a nap secretly.
.
Father Cao sighed, thinking that his daughter was so timid and cowardly, why did she work outside? Isn't this a joke?
The father and daughter were sneaky and carried Lou Xiliu into the small carriage.
Father Cao was surprised when he heard what his daughter said: "Hey, she is Xiliu? Is she competing with you for favor? Do you want to sell her? Don't worry, dad will help you -"
"..." She looked at her biological father silently, maybe she had never recognized that her biological father was such a cruel person.
The mule was silent. In Yueshuangwu Alley, the mule actually didn't bark.
It can be seen that they are thieves carefully selected by Mr. Cao.
"Let's go to Nanhe Baihusuo." She pushed Mr. Cao to drive, and she sat on the other side of the car.
The mule cart pulled three people and started hard. Father Cao drove the cart and whispered: "Nanhe? If you plan to throw the body into the river, you have to find a big stone." Father Cao drove the cart and looked at the clean sky.
Yue sighed, "Is it still too late to advise you to be a good person now?"
"...You can persuade."
"Really? You won't kill my father and silence him?" Mr. Cao drove a mule cart and walked alone in the dark alley with his daughter. The lantern in front of the cart was swaying. She was still thinking that her father could really joke. Suddenly, he
She cried again, "Why did you put your mother in jail? I haven't seen your mother in a long time. You can just beat your uncle. Why do you put your mother in jail?"
"..." She was speechless and looked at the moon in the sky. This is how her biological father looked at her.
She thought he was busy eating and drinking every day, sleeping in, skipping work, spending money randomly and giving gifts. He actually still remembered her mother.
"My mother lives in Shunyifang. It will be convenient for me to communicate with my mother in the future. You know that the place is near the palace gate."
Mr. Cao was startled, then immediately laughed: "Let your mother be busy, and it'll be okay if she doesn't come back. I'll listen to my mother in everything."
"..." She cursed secretly. She really couldn't understand why being a slave would lead to her father being like this.
The car passed the Liu family yard, but there was no movement at all.
She knew at a glance that of course Liu Ruhai was not at home, and he must be up to no good if he went out in the middle of the night.
She tilted her head and thought about it, yes, he went to visit the common people of Zhou.
Liu Ruhai was not at home, so he had no way of discovering the Cao family's father and daughter secretly doing bad things.
Among the pale lanterns, he was standing in the alley near the Zongren Mansion, preparing to go to see Prince Zhou secretly, but Su Jintian, who had made an appointment to take him into the Zongren Mansion, had not yet arrived.
Su Jintian was delayed by Cao Xiwan.
As the river roared, she knocked on the back door of Baihu House: "Su Jintian, Su Jintian——"
She made up her mind and handed Lou Xiliu to him as soon as they met. She had already thought of her words. For example, this is your apprentice. I don't care. But she knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered.
She thought for a while, could it be that Su Jintian thought that her coming in the middle of the night must be up to no good? Ignoring her on purpose?
She was furious and immediately blew a sharp whistle.
Su Jintian had just received news that there was a woman knocking on the back door, and it seemed that Su Baihu's former lover was here.
"Impossible." Su Jintian is now very discerning and will never fall in love with such a woman who has an unruly temperament and acts in an eccentric way.
Even in the past, he only favored noble ladies and wealthy ladies.
They are women who have experienced great changes in their families and are taking care of the overall situation. They are actually very cautious in their actions. As for their lover Su Jintian, who is younger than them, they do not intend to stay chaste for their old husband. In his eyes, this is completely normal.
Most of the men of the same age as the ladies are already married, and they are just flirting outside, and they will never be sincere.
Furthermore, there are few young men without wives, such as Su Jintian, who have looks, abilities, means, and money who can make them feel some affection in their hearts.
Although he borrowed the money, he was able to borrow it because of his ability. However, Cao Xiwan took a huge sum of money back with interest, leaving him without a penny.
"Don't pay attention. Maybe it's a drunk musician." He waved his hand, and Xiao Qiao suddenly didn't dare to say anything. He vaguely knew that Qing Niangzi sold the elder brother to the musician. Shuangtian was secretly handling this matter. Senior Brother You probably don’t know at all, right? Xiao Qiao was scared and hurriedly went to sleep. Suddenly he heard a sharp whistle and he was startled: "It's Qing Niangzi."
Su Jintian was startled, Xiao Qiao had already run towards the back door, and when Shen Shuangtian's window clicked, she also jumped out.
He looked at his brothers and sisters and sighed.
It's definitely not good for her to come in the middle of the night.
