Chapter 160 Can we really be siblings for life?
Seeing Xie Guanlan's expressionless face, Xie Shian coughed again, "Xiangjun, you must play the pipa well, don't make mistakes and upset my eldest brother. Big brother, eat and drink well, I will go back to the mansion to do my homework first."
A group of second generation ancestors said:
"We also have to go back home to do our homework."
"By the way, Xie Si, which chapter of the Analects have you memorized?"
"Let's study by lamplight tonight, and get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to practice Sun Tzu's Art of War."
“…”
Everyone turned and left while talking.
The eldest son of the Song family slammed the table and stood up, his face darkening as he shouted angrily, "Song Zhang!"
The second son of the Song family's legs went weak. "Brother! You can't punish me. I have to get up early tomorrow to practice Sun Tzu's Art of War!"
"What grandson? I'm going to teach you tonight what a father is!"
Seeing the private room in chaos, Xie Guanlan glanced at Xiangjun.
Xiangjun understood, handed the pipa to the maid, and nodded slightly to Wen Xingluo, "Miss, please follow me."
Wen Xingluo glanced at the messy private room and felt it was not appropriate to get involved in this brotherly fight, so he had to follow Xiangjun and leave first.
It was not until we reached the boudoir at the end of the corridor that the screams finally disappeared.
Wen Xingluo was very worried about Xie Shian.
Xiangjun asked her to sit down and made her a cup of hot tea. "This is Qingcheng Snow Bud produced in Qingcheng Mountain. I wonder if it suits your taste."
"Thank you." Wen Xingluo picked up the teacup, "Is Miss Xiangjun your eldest brother's confidant?"
Xiangjun was able to attend such an important meeting.
It can be seen that she is not just a simple courtesan.
Xiangjun sat across from her on the flower-covered table, her delicate hands gently supporting her snow-white cheeks. When she smiled, she looked even more charming and alluring. "I'm here to gather secrets for the Commander-in-Chief."
Wen Xingluo nodded.
Places like brothels and gambling houses are where everyone from the powerful and wealthy to peddlers and hawkers gather. They are indeed a good place to get information.
"Miss Xingluo is so cute." Xiangjun's slanted almond-shaped eyes were full of playful interest. "No wonder even a cold-hearted commander like the commander couldn't help but be attracted to Miss Xingluo."
Wen Xingluo's pupils suddenly shrank.
She looked at Xiangjun warily, and a wave of murderous intent surged in her mind for an instant, but when she remembered that Xiangjun was Xie Guanlan's confidant, she immediately dismissed the idea.
Xiangjun stayed in the brothel all day long and was used to seeing men and women making love. She was also good at finding out secrets, so it was not a big deal for her to notice the clues between her and Xie Guanlan.
Xiangjun took in her expression and laughed out loud, "Miss Xingluo is so cute."
As she spoke, she touched Wen Xingluo's face and suggested, "I'm the best at dressing up. Let me do some makeup for Miss Xingluo. I'm sure the commander will be unable to restrain his feelings for you if he sees you. I really want to see him lose control. It must be very interesting!"
Wen Xingluo looked at her in surprise.
She thought Xiangjun was a gentle and charming girl, how could she have such a bad taste in private?
So when Xie Guanlan came in, he saw Xiangjun dragging Wen Xingluo behind the screen.
The little girl refused to go in and clung to the edge of the screen. Xiangjun was so excited that she refused to give up and pulled her clothes hard from behind.
She held her round-necked robe tightly to herself, her face flushed red.
He said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"Brother!"
Wen Xingluo called out and hurried over to hide behind him.
Xiangjun regained her gentle and charming appearance and bowed gently, "Commander-in-Chief."
Xie Guanlan gave her a warning look before leaving with Wen Xingluo.
Walking through the corridor, Wen Xingluo whispered, "How is Fourth Brother?"
Xie Guanlan ignored her with a cold face and walked quickly.
Wen Xingluo gritted his teeth.
This guy gets angry all the time, and I don't know what he is angry about now.
She took a few quick steps forward to catch up with him, but Xie Shian's round-necked robe was a bit long, and she accidentally stepped on the hem of the robe and twisted her ankle. She grabbed the carved railing in time to avoid falling to the ground.
Seeing that she didn't catch up, Xie Guanlan turned around and looked at her.
The girl was leaning against the railing, with her head down and tears falling.
She didn't have time to comb her hair, so it was all messy, and her fair little face had red and moist eyes.
Pearly tears rolled down her pointed chin.
It was as if a drop of cold water fell into his boiling heart, calming him down instantly.
He blamed her for visiting the brothel and for not knowing how to protect herself and stepping into such a dirty and filthy place, but it was all the fault of Xie Shian and Chen Lezhi. She was just instigated by them.
He shouldn't have given her the cold shoulder.
The young man knelt down on one knee in front of Wen Xingluo and reached out to hold her ankle.
He took off her shoes and socks.
Wen Xingluo's breathing quickened and he looked around subconsciously.
It was unknown when Huamanlou had thanked its guests. The magnificent building was silent, and even the beauties in their gorgeous clothes had disappeared.
She was relieved and said to Xie Guanlan, "It's just a slight sprain on my foot. It will be fine in a while."
Seeing that her injuries were indeed not serious, Xie Guanlan put her shoes and socks back on.
He said, "I'll carry you downstairs."
While Wen Xingluo was stunned, Xie Guanlan had already carried her on his back.
Walking down the carved stairs, the young man said in a low voice, "From now on, you are not allowed to come to this kind of place again."
Hua Man Lou is his territory, so it is not as chaotic as other brothels.
But if Wen Ningning ran into another brothel alone and let those men take advantage of her, he would not be able to help but kill them.
Wen Xingluo leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "I'm dressed as a man, so no one will take advantage of me. At most, they'll just look at me a few times."
"You can't even look at it."
Wen Xingluo couldn't help but curl his fingers.
As she stepped out of Hua Man Lou's threshold, she said faintly, "Brother, your words will cause me to misunderstand."
Xie Guanlan put her under the eaves.
There were several red lanterns hanging under the eaves, and the light and shadow illuminated the two of them, as if the surging emotions that were hidden from the light finally couldn't help but emerge from the darkness.
Xie Guanlan remained silent as he took the cloak from Fushan and tied it around Wen Xingluo's shoulders.
The hands that should have been holding the sword lifted the soft rabbit fur hood of the cloak and covered the girl tightly, covering her ears and leaving only a palm-sized peach-shaped face exposed.
The upper half of his face was hidden in the shadows. "It's just a brother's warning to his younger sister. The situation will be even more dangerous from now on. I can't protect you forever. You have to learn to protect yourself."
Wen Xingluo watched him turn around and go to lead the horse.
The lights flicker.
The girl's mind quietly emerged with the scenes of him saving her many times.
He always appears in times of crisis and always gives her unparalleled warmth and a sense of security.
In the past, she thought her admiration was one-sided, so she carefully concealed it while trying every possible way to test him, for fear of being shamed and hated by him.
But now...
Wen Xingluo clutched her cloak, "Can we really be brother and sister for life?"
In the snow, the young man was leading the horse with his back to her.
