Chapter 716: Strategy for the Blind Villain (12)

Hua Jinxiu was locked up for three months. As soon as she was allowed to go out, she sneaked to the side courtyard of the Taifu Mansion to find Qu Jingrong.

"Look, what did I bring you?" When she found the boy, he was sitting in the courtyard in a daze. There was also a young man sweeping the floor in the courtyard. However, when the young man saw her, he quickly left the courtyard.

"Look, this is the book I brought you. I will read to you today. Don't you want to listen to "Records of the Grand Historian"? I will read to you all day today." She sat opposite the boy and hit his hand with the cover of the book.

In the past, she also greeted him like this.

"Jinxiu, you are here?" The boy came back to his senses when he heard her voice, but he was not as surprised to see her as before.

His mind was now full of his own worries.

This worry has been bothering him for a long time. He hoped to get a real answer.

"I brought you the Records of the Grand Historian. I will read it to you now." Hua Jinxiu did not notice his change. She opened the first page and began to read with great interest. "The Records of the Grand Historian, written by Sima Qian. (Volume 1, Annals of the Five Emperors, Part 1) The Yellow Emperor was the son of Shaodian. His surname was Gongsun and his name was Xuanyuan. He was born with divine spirit, could speak when he was weak, was loyal to Qi when he was young, was kind and quick-witted when he grew up, and was smart when he was an adult. During the time of Xuanyuan, the Shennong clan was in decline. The princes invaded each other and oppressed the people, but the Shennong clan was unable to conquer them. So Xuanyuan started to use weapons to conquer instead of offering sacrifices, and the princes all came to him as guests. However, Chiyou was the most violent, and no one could conquer him."

The young man had already finished reading the Records of the Grand Historian, and he felt it was boring to listen to her reading it again, so he tried to divert her attention and said, "Where have you been these days? Why didn't I see you come here?"

Hua Jinxiu really put down the book in her hand and started chattering.

"You don't know how old-fashioned my father is. Knowing that I was friends with you, he insisted on using the three obediences and four virtues of women to restrain me. As for my mother, I don't know what's wrong with

her this time, she didn't even support me. So I was put in solitary confinement." "I was locked in a small room, and the only things I could touch every day were pens, ink, paper and inkstone. My father said that I could not come out until I wrote "Instructions for Women" a hundred times. I hate being restricted by others the most. My parents can't do it

either. So I went on a hunger strike in protest." "I was really starving in the first few days. I couldn't even eat those delicious foods because I was so greedy. Later, I was so hungry that I had no choice but to secretly eat a little bit. I relied on this stealing skill to successfully get through the confinement period."

"As soon as I could go out today, I came to see you. Tell me, am I good to you?" Hua Jinxiu was moved by what she said, and slammed the stone table heavily, "I have made up my mind. I want to stay in the Taifu Mansion and be a maid by your side. In this way, I can accompany you when you are bored."

"Accompany me?" Qu Jingrong looked at her, puzzled, "What is our relationship? Do you need to accompany me?"

His question confused Hua Jinxiu, and she pushed him lightly, "We are friends. If you have difficulties, I will definitely help you."

"I don't have any difficulties." Qu Jingrong repeated very seriously, "I don't have any difficulties, and I don't need your help."

He is not a pitiful person. He can do everything that normal people can do. Except that he can't see.

"Qu Jingrong, you are too much! Who am I doing all this for! During the confinement, I was thinking about being friends with you all the time to survive. For you, I even planned to come here as a maid. You are heartless. You are treating my efforts as water!" Hua Jinxiu threw the book in front of him and said viciously, "This girl will not serve you anymore." Qu Jingrong just sat

there, listening to her footsteps getting farther and farther away.

He does need friends, but he is not a burden. He can take care of his own life. He doesn't need others to sacrifice themselves to help him.

Ma Jinyang walked slowly behind him and reminded him in a low voice, "Master, are you still reading "The Great Learning" today?"

"Yes." Qu Jingrong did not hesitate at all.

If he was a normal person who could see, he could still delay and make excuses. But he was born blind like he is now. He should not only read, but also read more, read classics, history, and various books.

When Shi Yi came over, he was "reading" "The Great Learning" under a big tree. Ma Jinyang was behind him, giving one or two pointers from time to time. She was very pleased to see this.

"Sister, you are here?" Before she spoke, the young man walked towards where she was standing as if he had seen her.

He was already familiar with the sound of her footsteps. In this mansion, what he hoped most was for her to come over.

"Jingrong, you continue to study." Shi Yi didn't want to disturb him, so he patted his shoulder.

"Sister, I have studied long enough today." The boy grabbed her wrist. He was no longer as thin as before, and his back was as straight as the green bamboo beside him. His childish face had slowly faded away, revealing a romantic and unrestrained edge.

"Don't be lazy in studying."

"No. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Ma. I have been studying since early morning." The boy "looked" at Ma Jinyang behind him.

Ma Jinyang, who always had no sense of existence in the crowd, noticed the eyes of the eldest lady on his face and nodded honestly.

"Mr. Ma, speak."

Ma Jinyang realized that the young master could not see, and whispered, "The young master is right."

"Is it right, or you dare not tell the truth." Shi Yi deliberately teased him.

If she hadn't known the plot in advance, she would definitely not take such a mediocre man who could not be picked out in the crowd seriously.

But this mediocre man controlled the "Secret Door" organization that the state machine was shocked and feared.

It is said that this organization has gathered all kinds of people and can collect all the information about everything in the world. It has the top killers in the world. This organization has always been hidden deep and generally does not participate in the secular world. Therefore, very few people know about it. This organization only obeys the orders of the master.

"Sister, Mr. Ma is very responsible." The boy didn't want to tell her that he was actually jealous of her talking to Ma Jinyang.

Anyway, he just didn't like his sister looking at others when talking to him. He just wanted his sister to see him alone.

"I know he is responsible. This month's salary will increase by two taels of silver." Shi Yi returned to the boy.

"Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Young Master." Ma Jinyang, who was standing behind the two of them, had quietly retreated out of the courtyard gate when he spoke.

He was used to an inconspicuous life.

If the housekeeper hadn't come to Huanglu Academy to look for him, he wouldn't have had anything to do with the people in the Taifu Mansion.

However, when he came here, he discovered a huge secret. It was worth the trip.
