Chapter 777 Extra 55
Cao Wei knew that her master had been investigating what happened back then in the past few years.
The Cao family seems to have resolved the internal strife. Now, under the deterrence and suppression of the master, the Cao family and the Cao Gang are very stable.
But the master didn't believe that what happened back then was as it seemed.
The person who was pushed out was at most a scapegoat.
It was just as the master said. Finally, the master found the real clue.
The master had already set up a net and was ready to close it.
This is indeed the time to be most cautious.
But she also understood that a woman's heart cannot remain cold for long.
Once it’s cold for a long time, it may really be cold.
We must strike while the iron is hot.
…
Huo Qingluo found an excuse to go out, disguised herself, went to find Cao Wei, and then followed Cao Weiwei to the valley.
On the way, various reactions of Cao Wenci flashed through Huo Qingluo's mind.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.
She had never felt this nervous before.
Maybe that's because I care.
She even wondered what she would do if Cao Wenci continued to be so cold?
Maybe I won’t have the courage to come next time.
But, it should be okay to be brave just once.
Huo Qingluo took a deep breath and encouraged herself.
In the Valley Study
Cao Wenci was studying some intercepted letters.
Look for some more important clues inside.
At this time, Cao Zuo came in happily, "Master, Master!"
Cao Wenci looked at his subordinates' excitement and was a little surprised. "What happened?"
"Master, nothing happened. Miss Huo is here. Miss Huo is looking for you."
When Cao Wenci heard this, his head buzzed.
My heart trembled uncontrollably, and my hands involuntarily clenched the letter in my hand.
"Master, Master?"
Seeing that his master had no reaction, Cao Zuo shouted anxiously, fearing that his master didn't hear what he said.
After a while, Cao Wenci came back to his senses and finally found his voice and said, "She...she really came?"
Cao Wenci's voice was slightly low and hoarse.
Cao Zuo said excitedly: "Of course, Master, it's true. Miss Huo is here and has just entered the valley. She must be looking for you."
As soon as he heard the news, he used his Qinggong skills to rush over to report to his master.
There is still some distance from the valley entrance to here.
Cao Wen said, "You seem very excited."
"Hehe, I'm just happy for you, my master. Miss Huo is such a good person. Master, you can't be so cold this time."
"I once heard my mother say that a woman's heart can't stand repeated cold treatment, and that women are the most delicate and sensitive."
"Sometimes, if you don't tell them, they might start to have wild thoughts, not to mention saying something cold and indifferent, which is even more painful."
“We are all human beings, and we all have emotions…”
Cao Zuo was afraid that his master would behave like before, so he said a lot of nonsense.
Cao Wenci said with a headache: "Okay, I understand."
Cao Zuo felt that his master should have listened to him, so he walked out with a chuckle.
Cao Wei drove the carriage directly to the courtyard of the master's study. "Miss Huo, the master is in the study. I have something else to do, so I'll go first. You go in and talk to the master."
Only when Huo Qingluo actually stood here did she feel timid and wanted to go in but she controlled herself.
"I……"
Huo Qingluo wanted to keep Cao Wei.
But before she could say anything else, Cao Wei had already driven away quickly in the carriage.
Huo Qingluo was left standing there.
After a while, Huo Qingluo took a deep breath and walked in gently.
When she reached the door of the inner room, she reached out and knocked.
"Come in!"
Cao Wenci's voice was as pleasant as ever, like a clear mountain spring or the distant tones of a guqin.
Can easily touch people's heartstrings.
Huo Qingluo felt her heartbeat quicken when she heard his voice.
It's a feeling of being out of control.
Excitement, anticipation, nervousness, uneasiness, many complex emotions suddenly surged in my heart.
Huo Qingluo didn't move for a while. Just when she was about to open the door, it was opened from the inside.
It was Cao Wenci who personally walked to the door and opened it.
Then he saw Huo Qingluo standing at the door.
At this time, Cao Wenci was standing.
"Your legs?"
Huo Qingluo couldn't help but worry about Cao Wenci.
I wonder if his legs hurt standing like this.
But I also wonder if telling him out loud would hurt his self-esteem.
Cao Wenci looked at Huo Qingluo deeply. The moment he saw her, it was as if a strong wind had risen in his heart, blowing through the forest and making a whistling sound.
Just like his mood at the moment.
Only he himself knew how he felt when he saw Huo Qingluo.
Cao Wenci tried hard to restrain his expression, and there seemed to be a restrained emotion in his eyes.
"No problem, come in!"
Cao Wenci was not what Huo Qingluo had imagined him to be.
He didn't kick her out, nor was he indifferent.
He looks normal.
This made Huo Qingluo breathe a sigh of relief.
Huo Qingluo walked in with her head lowered.
Cao Wenci poured her a cup of tea and said, "Drink some hot water first to warm your body."
Huo Qingluo looked at the teacup handed to her and whispered, "Thank you!"
She looked at the teapot on the table, which was steaming, as if it was freshly boiled tea.
But the cup of tea in her hand was at just the right temperature.
It tastes neither cold nor hot. When I drink it, I feel my body warming up.
"Sit down for a while!"
Huo Qingluo then sat down gently beside him.
Cao Wenci also sat down, tapping the table lightly with his fingers. Seeing Huo Qingluo lowering her head and not daring to look at him, he sighed softly inwardly and said, "I'm sorry last time. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that."
"It's really because the Cao family's affairs haven't been completely resolved. I'm worried that you'll be implicated and in danger."
Cao Wenci was still worried that his previous cold attitude had hurt Huo Qingluo's heart.
So after struggling for a long time, I decided to explain.
I thought that after she went back last time, the two of them would never meet again.
I didn't expect her to come here again.
Looking at her, Cao Wenci's heart finally softened.
Although he knew rationally what he should do, he still couldn't bear to say a cold or even harsh word.
After all, I still can't bear to let go!
After all, there is still greed in my heart.
When Huo Qingluo heard this, her eyes lit up and she suddenly raised her head to look at him.
She found that he was talking to her with his head down and a gentle look.
Huo Qingluo looked at Cao Wenci and her heart began to beat wildly again.
He is really good looking and has such a nice voice.
"No...it's okay. Sister Cao Wei told me some things about the Cao family. I understand you."
Not only understanding, but also heartache.
I couldn't help but want to be nicer to him.
After a pause, Huo Qingluo came to her senses and said, "Are you...are you explaining this to me?"
Cao Wenci smiled, and in his eyes, as beautiful as apricot blossoms in the gentle rain, there were gentle ripples. "I guess so!"
Huo Qingluo didn't expect him to admit it, and her mood suddenly became cheerful.
Perhaps it was his attitude that gave her more courage.
"It's okay. I'm not that unreasonable. I know you must have your reasons."
"He got injured while saving me last time. It was really my fault."
The little girl spoke in a sweet voice, her expression bright and dazzling, like the sun, spreading out layers of light that suddenly shone into his heart.
It dispelled the darkness in his heart.
Cao Wenci covered his heart with his hands.
There's something different there.
Cao Wenci looked at Huo Qingluo's smile and also smiled faintly.
"It's not your fault, idiot."
Huo Qingluo didn't dwell on this question. She said, "I came here this time to thank you for saving me last time."
"I brought you a gift."
Upon hearing this, Cao Wenci couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Gift?"
He couldn't even imagine what gift she would bring.
As she spoke, Huo Qingluo took out a folding fan.
This fan looks very special at first glance.
The material is not ordinary at first glance.
Although Huo Qingluo is the daughter of a general, she is never extravagant or spoiled.
So she put away all the monthly silver given by her parents, and this time she took it out all at once to make this hidden weapon folding fan.
Huo Qingluo said, "This is a hidden weapon folding fan I designed myself. It's made of a special material. As long as you open it, you can protect yourself. Gently press here, and there will be 120 silver needles and ice silk inside..."
The ice silk was given to her by her aunt Su Zhenzhen, who said that it could not be cut by knives or guns, and was very sharp for cutting things, so it could also be used as a weapon.
Ever since my aunt Su Zhenzhen came back with the mysterious man Yun Yuechen, Su Zhenzhen has had a lot more treasures in her hands.
In fact, sometimes Huo Qingluo was not used to calling her aunt.
Because Su Zhenzhen was only a few years older than her, calling her aunt would make her sound old.
So Su Zhenzhen asked her to call her by her name.
Anyway, she knew that this ice silk was a good thing, so she thought of giving it to Cao Wenci first.
Huo Qingluo explained the folding fan, "Also, the silver needles inside are smeared with a deadly poison. If they prick you, you'll die instantly."
"It's easier for you to use this for self-defense."
"This is my gift to you. Thank you for saving me last time. I don't know if you like it or not."
Huo Qingluo handed the folding fan to Cao Wenci.
Cao Wenci's eyes trembled slightly, and he said, "I like it very much."
As he spoke, he took the folding fan and reached out to touch it gently.
This gift is extremely precious to him.
Huo Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as you like it."
Cao Wen declined, saying, "You can keep such a good thing for yourself."
She can use it for self-defense.
Huo Qingluo said, "But you need it more than I do."
“You’re dealing with a more complex environment.”
"Besides, I don't go out much on weekdays, so I don't need it very often."
There was only so much ice silk, and she used it all in this.
There is ice silk tied to the silver needle, and by pressing the hidden weapon, the silver needle can be retracted.
After a pause, Cao Wenci's surging emotions finally calmed down a bit. He rolled his throat and said hoarsely, "Are you so nice to others?"
"What other people?"
"It's just other people who know each other a few times."
Cao Wenci also wanted to ask, do you trust him so much?
Huo Qingluo shook her head and said, "No, I only prepared it for you."
"Do you trust me that much?"
When Huo Qingluo heard this question, she also looked confused.
Yes, she actually trusted him very much.
Why so trusting?
She couldn't explain it either.
