Chapter 669

At this moment, Yunxi was also at a loss.

It's really strange to send her to the side gate for no reason. Isn't this just telling her that there's something sinister about the side gate?

Moreover, they have a handle on Jixiang, so logically they should treat Jixiang as the most suitable weapon. So why would they give such an order?

Yunxi found it increasingly strange.

Not only her, but Jixiang Le'an also found it very strange.

"Young lady, are you going?"

Yunxi pondered for a moment and said, "No rush, there are still three days left."

Let her think about it slowly.

Ji Xiang and Le An exchanged a glance, nodded, and then left.

The two sat together in the courtyard. Le'an looked at Jixiang with concern: "Jixiang, are you alright?"

Jixiang shook her head and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable."

She was still afraid.

There was nothing Le'an could do but move closer to her and hold her hand tightly: "Don't worry, everything will be alright."

After a moment of silence, Le'an said again, "Jixiang, your mother's life is hanging in the balance. Why are you telling the young lady everything?"

Logically speaking, shouldn't Jixiang be fully cooperating with the Su family now?

Meeting Ji Xiang's strange gaze, Le An quickly said, "I'm not trying to instigate you! I'm just... a little curious."

Hearing this, Jixiang withdrew his gaze and said, "I have been by Madam's side for quite some time, so I know what kind of person she is, and I also have a general idea of ​​what kind of people the Su family is."

"Cooperating with them is like asking a tiger for its skin. If I succeed, they will see that I have no use to them, and I don't know what my final fate will be."

"But the girl is different from them."

At this point, Jixiang gave a bitter smile: "You don't know, when I was first sent by the madam to the young lady's side, I also did some excessive things to her. But the young lady not only did not hold it against me, but also spent money to cure my mother. I must remember this kindness."

"Besides, I've already thought it through. If that blood-stained garment really is my mother's, she's probably already in grave danger. Since I can't do anything for my mother anymore, I certainly don't want to, and can't, betray you again."

"Otherwise, when I get to the afterlife and see my mother, she will definitely not forgive me."

Jixiang smiled, a slight smirk playing on her lips.

Looking at her, Le'an suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

After a moment, Le'an said in a relaxed tone, "Oh well, no matter what, at least your mother raised you for so long. Unlike me, I was sold by my mother when I was a child. Now, I've almost forgotten what my mother looks like."

Meeting Jixiang's gaze, Le'an twitched the corner of her mouth: "How about it? Compared to me, do you feel much better?"

Jixiang pursed her lips, then suddenly slapped Le'an on the head.

Le'an was stunned, not expecting her to make a sudden move.

The next moment, Jixiang said fiercely, "Not at all! Don't say such things again!"

After a pause, Jixiang added, "It's not funny at all!"

Le'an blinked, and after a long while, she blankly uttered an "Oh".
