Her tone was somewhat similar to that of the empress dowager who usually worshipped Buddha on the back mountain, but her every gesture and movement exuded a sense of boredom.
Fortunately, Master Nianfan had a good voice, and the gentle and sad tunes he sang moved everyone.
The woman looked downstairs and saw her graceful neck was as slender and beautiful as a swan.
A child was sitting at the bottom, surrounded by his mother. He was probably still very young, and his eyes were looking around. His little feet were shaking on the chair, and he was holding a string of candied haws in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, the child happened to meet the eyes of the woman upstairs, and then lowered his eyes timidly.
The woman was stunned, then she withdrew her gaze and smiled self-deprecatingly.
There was a very light knock at the door.
The maid looked at the woman suspiciously, and went to open the door at the woman's signal.
At the door, a woman in red clothes and carrying a sword, with a pretty face, a high ponytail, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, looked very elegant.
She had a pretty face and looked straight at the maid's face.
When she saw Zheng Xueyi, the maid was a little surprised. She looked at Zheng Xueyi secretly and thought for a while.
"Did the lady take the wrong path?"
"No."
Zheng Xueyi's eyes passed through the maid and landed firmly on the woman behind the maid.
"Our master asked if the person sitting inside was Madam Ning?"
The woman opened her eyes suddenly, her gaze was sharp, without any trace of fatigue.
Her eyes fell on Zheng Xueyi's face. Her eyebrows and eyes had not changed at all, but she felt a sense of oppression for no reason.
Hearing Zheng Xueyi's words, the maid looked serious, looked around, and only invited Zheng Xueyi into the house after seeing that there was no one.
Zheng Xueyi's outfit caused Madam Ning's gaze to pause for a moment, and she suddenly chuckled.
"Sit down. I don't know when I met a chivalrous lady like you."
"The master said so."
After sitting down, Zheng Xueyi was neither humble nor arrogant
"She doesn't know Madam Ning, and Madam Ning doesn't know her either."
"It's just that she feels that Madam Ning is her destined partner, that's all."
Taking out a black Xiuhe sachet from her sleeve, Zheng Xueyi handed it to Madam Ning.
Qianshi stepped forward to take it, squeezed it, and there seemed to be something inside.
"This is……"
Madam Ning asked. Judging from Zheng Xueyi's expression, this didn't seem to be a simple thing. She didn't let Qianshi open it, but took it from Qianshi's hand.
A wonderful feeling rose from the bottom of her heart. She pinched the sachet and looked up at Zheng Xueyi.
“This thing…”
"Madam, once you open it, you'll know what it is."
"Our master said that this thing only seeks the right person. It has no effect on her. Keeping it would be a waste. Coming here today, I feel that Madam Ning is destined to have it."
Zheng Xueyi's words were so mysterious that Madam Ning became more suspicious. She opened a corner of the sachet and pulled out something. After taking a look, she quickly put the thing away with a look of defeat on her face. She slammed the table and shouted,
"How dare you! Kneel down!"
Qianshi was stunned and knelt down hurriedly with her head down.
"Madam, please forgive me."
But Zheng Xueyi was sitting on the chair calmly, with her head held high and no fear at all.
"Why should I kneel when I have done nothing wrong?"
"Our master said that this thing is what the lady needs. If the lady thinks it will be accomplished."
"This item has a cause and a destiny. Please serve it well, Madam."
"Or rather."
She suddenly changed the subject
"Madam Ning can choose not to accept this item and return it to me. It all depends on your choice."
For some reason, the air suddenly became tense.
As the two of them confronted each other, Madam Ning's face grew redder and redder, and her grip on the sachet tightened.
But this expression only lasted for a moment.
The long period of training allowed her to quickly control her expression and suddenly she smiled lightly.
"It's really... unfathomable."
"Your master knows me very well."
She accepted the sachet, and the difference in her attitude was obvious. She looked at Zheng Xueyi and became kind.
"I don't know which expert gave this advice. Could you please tell me your name?"
"If this thing really fulfills my wish, then I can thank you, right?"
Madam Ning had a fake smile on her face, and her words were unfathomable.
Zheng Xueyi is not stupid, the tentative meaning in her words is very obvious, she lowered her eyes
"Once this is truly accomplished, Madam will be in a hurry to thank the Master."
After the things were delivered and the conversation was over, Zheng Xueyi didn't stay any longer. She said goodbye to Madam Ning, opened the door, turned around to leave, but bumped into a delicate figure.
The light floral fragrance was very elegant. The woman screamed and took two steps back, followed by a piercing sound that pierced her eardrums directly.
"Are you blind? Can't you see our lady?"
She suddenly looked up and saw Chu Zhiyao opposite her, holding Luo Zhaozhao with one hand. His brows were full of danger as he frowned at Zheng Xueyi.
Zheng Xueyi was stunned, all the cells in her body were highly tense, she swallowed her saliva, as if she realized that staring at Chu Zhiyao like this would cause unnecessary trouble, she quickly lowered her head
"Sorry, sorry, sorry girl."
The eyes above her head were full of inquiry. Just when she was nervous, a pair of delicate hands helped her up.
"It's okay, girl."
Luo Zhaozhao's voice was soft, and when it came out, it felt like goose feathers were constantly scratching the hardest part of people's hearts.
"You didn't mean it, so there's no need to take it so seriously."
Luo Zhaozhao said this, Zheng Xueyi could only look up stiffly, but when she looked up, she saw Luo Zhaozhao's haggard face.
Even with delicate makeup on her face, it was hard to hide the ashen look on her face.
The last time I went to see Luo Zhaozhao on the roof, she wasn't like this. Why is she like this this time...
Minrui thought of the dream Luo Zhaozhao had told him last time.
Could it be that these are nightmares?
After all, no one knew that they had let Du Wensa go. In the eyes of Gu Miao and Luo Zhaozhao, Du Wensa had probably become a wandering ghost in some mass grave.
After reacting, Zheng Xueyi pulled away the arm that Luo Zhaozhao was holding on her, nodded awkwardly, and ran away in a panic.
Chu Zhiyao, who was looking at Zheng Xueyi from behind, had a gloomy expression. He looked at her light steps and seemed to be thinking about something.
At least she returned to Gu Qingsheng's room in the face of the storm. She closed the door and patted her chest.
"What's wrong?"
Her strange behavior made Gu Qingsheng put down the book in his hand.
"Is everything settled?"
"The matter is resolved."
Zheng Xueyi's face is serious
"However, there are some unexpected things."
After telling Gu Qingsheng about Chu Zhiyao and Luo Zhaozhao, Gu Qingsheng was also slightly surprised.
Nothing can be done for. She expected that Chu Zhiyao would have to meet Luo Zhaozhao sooner or later, but she didn't expect that their relationship would progress to the stage where they could go to the opera together so quickly.
But now that Chu Zhiyao is here, they should consider leaving.
