Xie Ling took a step back, and found that she had nowhere to retreat. She looked up hastily, and met Gu Wei's dark eyes, which were reflected in the moonlight and looked extremely cold.
He spoke.
"A Ling, why don't you believe me? Do you think I'm the same as those men who have three wives and four concubines? Do you think I'm just an ordinary man in ancient times?"
Xie Ling was stunned. "I didn't...Okay, I'm sorry. I just think that accepting her is the best expedient solution. I thought you would consider the overall situation more..."
A soft sigh came from above my head.
"A Ling. Come home."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, he let go of Xie Ling and walked ahead alone.
Xie Ling chased after him, walked side by side with him, bent down, and looked at his face carefully.
"Are you angry?"
Gu Wei didn't say anything.
"Are you really angry?"
Gu Wei stopped and suddenly raised his hand to tap her forehead gently. Her lips were slightly pursed, looking a bit childish, with her hairband blown up by the wind, like a sulky teenager.
Xie Ling blinked.
Gu Wei is really angry, what should I do?
She has never coaxed a man in her two lifetimes.
As she was thinking, Xie Ling suddenly remembered something.
Cardamom!
Cardamom is still there, she has to go back!
Although he appears to be aloof on the outside, he is always paying attention to someone's concerns.
"Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to bring her over and settle her down."
After saying this, Gu Wei closed his mouth again.
Xie Ling followed behind him, her face wrinkled into a bitter melon.
———
The other side.
A yamen runner walked up and came to Doukou's side.
"Young lady, come with me. I will take you to the mansion to settle down."
"Big brother, please wait for me."
After saying this, Doukou took two steps at a time and came to Nongyan's side, half squatted down, and stared at her coldly.
Nong Yan didn't know why this skinny kid suddenly came to her side with such a scary look in his eyes. She adjusted her skirt and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
Doukou suddenly reached out, pinched her pretty face and rubbed it hard twice.
Nongyan's eyes widened in disbelief, and he was so surprised that he even forgot to resist.
How, how could someone do this to her?!
Doukou has a childish face, but her words are very cold.
"You think you're good-looking? Beautiful? You old witch, you're not even one-tenth as pretty as my Lord."
"I'm not a big shot, but if you do this again and make my master angry, I will kill you with my own hands."
Thick smoke was both angry and amused. He took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling, and his eyes widened. "Who are you? Where did you come from, dirty kid? Why do you want to kill me? Who gave you the courage?"
She wanted to break free from Doukou's hand, but she was a delicate beauty and was not as strong as Doukou who did farm work every day. She could not move at all. Her face turned red and she was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but she could do nothing.
She let Doukou pinch her fair face, leaving red marks all over it.
The thick smoke was originally just gas, but looking at the sedan chair in the distance, the "maids" and "servants" that he brought with him were watching coldly, with no intention of coming to help at all, he felt a surge of grievances in his heart, and tears fell in big drops. His whole face was wrinkled and he had no manners at all.
"You think I want to be someone else's concubine? You think I want to come to Sinan? You little brat, how can you understand so much about being helpless?
All of you are protecting her. I am just a poor person who is threatened. If I don't do this, I and the people I care about will die!"
She spoke in a halting manner.
The maids and servants beside the sedan finally reacted and ran back hurriedly to stop her from talking.
A servant pushed Doukou away harshly.
Doukou sat down on the ground.
She herself was just a little girl.
Seeing the thick smoke and crying loudly, I was suddenly at a loss.
Catching the subtle jealousy in Nongyan's words, she immediately retorted.
"What's wrong with me protecting her? I don't even know you."
But Nong Yan had no chance to respond to her. The maids and servants did not dare to hit her in the face, so they pinched her body tightly.
But she bit her lips stubbornly and gripped the ground tightly, without making a sound.
The yamen runner over there wanted to go home to sleep, so he shouted from afar, "Little girl, we have to go."
Doukou followed the yamen runner and walked into the alley of sycamore trees with lush green leaves.
When we arrived at the gate of the mansion, Qiuyue had been waiting for a long time, wearing a white fur cloak and holding a lantern in her hand.
She now manages such a large house and has lost the timidity she had in exile. Her brows are calm and dignified. She calmly took the cardamom from the runner and patted her thin shoulders.
"Girl, it's cold, why are you wearing so little clothes?"
Doukou stammered, "This is all I have at home."
Qiuyue felt a flash of pity in her heart. Looking at her timid and cowardly appearance, it was as if she was looking at herself at that time.
He took her to the door of the east wing with a gentle tone.
"You will live here from now on. I will take you to get some clothes tailored tomorrow. You can wear mine for now. Come on, I will take you to the kitchen to boil some hot water for you to take a bath."
"Thank you, sister. I want to ask, where does the lady live? I want to go and thank her tomorrow."
Qiuyue liked her more.
She is a grateful girl.
"I'll take you there tomorrow. From now on, you'll just follow me and do things like cleaning the yard and handling chores."
Doukou nodded, with a hint of shyness in her brows.
"Sister, I know everything. Just tell me what to do."
The two little girls chatted while boiling water, feeling that they had met too late, and chatted until late at night.
During this period, Qiuyue cooked a bowl of noodles for Doukou, which moved the little girl to tears.
The next day, when Xie Ling woke up, Gu Wei was gone.
It was still dark outside the window, the moon was still hanging, and a cold mist was floating in the air.
Xie Ling looked at the cold bed and rubbed her brows.
The two of them didn't say anything when they came back yesterday.
Gu Wei is really angry, what should I do?
Xie Ling, who was usually calm and composed, rarely showed an angry and helpless expression.
