It's autumn, the coolness is getting stronger, and the back garden of Jinshuo Castle is full of chrysanthemums. This Jinshuo Castle is surprisingly big, and every part is magnificent. As for the legend of being so wealthy that it doesn't feel true, at least. , not visible on the surface.
After lingering among the flowers in the back garden for a while, I heard the melodious sound of the piano coming from the pavilion. The girl Ziying next to me said that this was Yin Zhichuan's sister Yin Zhiqian. She would be in the back garden every day, admiring the flowers and playing the piano.
When I walked into the pavilion, I saw a woman with outstanding appearance, her eyes were on me, and her mouth was smiling. But she looked about twenty-eight years old, and she was petite and exquisite.
I bowed slightly to her, then sat on the stone bench in the pavilion next to her, looking at the chrysanthemums not far away, and softly recited: "It's a happy couple to play the piano and drink wine, and there are several tables decorated with beautiful flowers. The incense is spread across the table." It is divided into three paths and exposed, and the person who throws the book is facing an autumn branch."
She did not stop playing the piano until the end of the song. "She is my brother's friend, right? My name is Yin Zhiqian. Do you also know some music theory? Do you know how good my piano sound is?" She said with a slight smile.
"Just call me Zhi'er. It's true that I was 'invited' to the castle by your brother. Qian'er is so young, but her piano skills are so outstanding. It's really enviable."
She glanced at me, pouted and said, "So what if I'm good at playing the piano? I still lost to Shangguan Ruoyun in the election of the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world. She is the best in the world."
I thought that the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world was just mentioned casually, but there was actually talk of an election. If everyone in the world knew that the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world was a man, how would they react? "Don't be discouraged, Qian'er, you can go to the next election." Okay. I won’t let Shangguan Ruoyun attend, okay?”
She stood up excitedly, grabbed my hand, and smiled broadly. "It turns out that Miss Zhier knows Shangguan Ruoyun, that's great. Actually, it doesn't matter whether you choose or not, I just think that before you get married, you should do it." It’s nice to play around with a title like this.”
I smiled and said no more. After sitting for a while, I stood up and said goodbye to her.
"Girl, help me!" As soon as I stepped into the yard where I lived, I saw my servant Xiao Li being carried out by two men in black, with a look of horror on his face.
"Wait!" I quickly stepped forward and shouted to them.
"Miss Gardenia, please save Xiao Li. The castle owner was furious when he couldn't find you and has already killed five servants. Xiao Li doesn't want to die!" Xiao Li saw me coming and grabbed my hand tightly. Kuanshan cried.
I looked at the two expressionless men in black, and then said, "Don't touch Xiao Li yet. I'll go in and talk to your castle master."
I signaled Ziying not to follow me, otherwise she would be in trouble, and then walked quickly to the hall. As soon as I entered the door, I found the maids and servants kneeling on the floor, all of them were like chaff.
Yin Zhichuan stood in the middle of the hall with a livid face and kept throwing things in his hands. He was very scary. My heart was beating and I walked towards him timidly.
"Master Yin..."
When he heard my voice, he turned around sharply. The anger in his eyes immediately receded a lot, but his face was still ugly. "You didn't run away?"
"Didn't Master Yin promise that King Xuan would send me back to the palace before he went on the expedition? Why should I escape? Let Xiao Li go and stop killing people randomly." I raised my head and looked at him and said.
"I kill 100 people every day, and the financial resources of Jinshuo Castle are enough for me to kill for a lifetime. You actually plead for a little servant, how rare!" He said with some mockery.
"Jinshuo Castle is as rich as the country, and the owner of the castle is certainly full of confidence. However, everyone is born and raised by parents and grew up through hard work. Life is priceless, and only those who have died will understand this truth better." I was slightly sad.
As he spoke, he felt a little pain in his heart when he thought of his own suicide by jumping into the sea.
He didn't speak anymore, raised his hand, and the people kneeling below retreated as if they were running away, leaving us alone in the hall. After thinking for a while, he asked softly: "Have you ever committed suicide?
?”
I nodded, picked up the medicine bottle from the table, walked over to him, and asked him to sit on the chair. I unbuttoned his shirt and exposed his injured abdomen. As I expected, he got angry and threw things.
Blood oozed from the wound, staining the underwear bright red.
I squatted in front of him, sprinkled some medicine on the wound, and then fixed the wound with a clean cloth. While busy, hands gently stroked my hair. I raised my head and saw Yin Zhichuan's brows furrowed in pain, but his eyes were full of pain.
Full of tenderness, and even some subtle...happiness?
He is really a difficult person to understand. When he is fierce, he is more terrifying than King Yama, but when he is gentle, he is also so affectionate.
I don't know what he has in mind. But I understand the fact that he will not harm me.
