C3 Shangguan Qinger

For the next few days, Xiao Yun's illness had relapsed and he was bedridden. Perhaps he had gotten cold.

While he was "bedridden and recuperating," his trusted aide, Liu Erjiu, returned drunk at night. He fell off the carriage and died.

Xia suddenly had a strange illness as well. His body was festering and there was no cure for it. He wriggled on the bed like a maggot for three days and three nights and also died.

Ling-er, the eldest maidservant beside Eldest Aunt, had also been fished up from the well a few days ago. She said that she might have accidentally walked into the well at night and drowned.

People's lives were being caused one after another in the house, but Xiao Yun's condition had improved. He was able to walk on the ground these few days.

People started to spread in the city, saying that this was a ghost from the Xiao family, and that the ghost of the second brother of the Xiao family had returned.

There were also some who said that Xiao Yun's life was tough, and he would kill all the people around him one by one.

These few days, besides pretending to be sick and secretly toughening his body, Xiao Yun also brought back a girl, Shangguan Qing'er.

Right now, he really needed people, people that he could trust.

"Young Master, it is almost midnight. You should go to sleep."

Shangguan Qing'er slowly walked in. There was a trace of dissatisfaction on her handsome and heroic face. Her voice did not carry any respect.

Xiao Yun helplessly sighed and turned around to look at this 23 year old girl.

She was very beautiful. She was tall and slender, with a thin waist and long legs, and her eyelashes and eyes were bright. If she wore the most popular Hundred Leaf Scattering Cloud Dress, she would be very beautiful. However, now that she was wearing a full set of clothes and had a cold face, it gave people the feeling that she owed her money. She was still pretty, but she was naturally not beautiful.

Shangguan Qing'er was the young lady of Shangguan family, Xiao Yun's biological mother, who accompanied her in marriage. When the second son of Xiao family went to the battlefield, he asked her to stay and take care of Xiao Yun.

The news of Xiao Yun's death came. Xiao Yun was sent to the big house, but she was thrown to the gatehouse. Because of some effort, she was sent to take care of the house.

She didn't have any complaints about this. After all, she couldn't bear to see Xiao Yun's behavior. The two of them had always been at loggerheads, so she might as well not see him.

"I asked you to come back to my side. Did I ask you to take care of me?"

Xiao Yun had a smile on his face, but his voice was cold. It made the cold night wind seem even colder.

The corners of Shangguan Qing'er's eyes twitched. She looked at Xiao Yun in disbelief.

"Young master has just recovered from a serious illness and his body cannot endure the hardships. Furthermore, the night wind is also cold. If he were to catch a cold again..."

"Alright!"

Xiao Yun's tone suddenly became stern, and he almost shouted out loud.

Shangguan Qing'er was shocked and immediately looked up. In the end, she saw Xiao Yun smiling and not angry expression.

But... this smile was very fake. The imposing manner in his eyes made one's heart palpitate.

"Come here."

Xiao Yun very kindly waved at Shangguan Qing'er.

Shangguan Qing'er did not understand.

"Tsk, you came just because I asked you to."

"Oh, as you wish."

"Haha, yes, I'll do as you say. You really can't change the habits of the militarists. Come, come here and take a seat."

Shangguan Qing'er did not understand. She did not want to sit beside Xiao Yun at all, not to mention that the position Xiao Yun pointed at was too close.

"Sit."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yun suddenly stretched out his hand to pull her, and grabbed her wrist.

Xiao Yun was shocked. He subconsciously wanted to throw her away, but for some reason... Not only was his wrist grabbed by Xiao Yun, but he also wanted to throw himself forward. However, he suddenly had a hard time on his waist. He turned around and sat down next to Xiao Yun for no reason.

And Xiao Yun's hand was holding onto her waist!

"Young master, you!"

She subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the other party only pressed down on her waist and did not stand up.

"Be more obedient!"

Xiao Yun suddenly said sternly, shocking Shangguan Qing'er on the spot.

"Young master, what exactly is this..."

"Didn't you say just now that you were afraid that I would be cold? Your body is warm, so why should I hug you?"

This kind of twisted logic, Shangguan Qing'er was actually unable to refute for a moment and could only say, "Why don't I add another brazier for Young Master."

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "In the deep spring, the exposed is the heaviest and the bone piercing. What's the use of a few brazier? It is naturally not as reliable as your fragrant, soft, and warm body."

Shangguan Qing'er's face immediately turned red.

Previously, she was still surprised that she was caught by Xiao Yun, and why she sat beside him without knowing why. Now that she heard him speak like this, she realized how inappropriate their current position was.

"Young master, please be careful!"

Logically speaking, Shangguan Qing'er was Xiao Yun's elder, so her expression instantly became cold. Clearly, she wanted to make a move.

Xiao Yun, on the other hand, frowned first. He turned around and looked at her very seriously.

That kind of gaze... was very strange. It even made Shangguan Qing'er feel a trace of danger.

This made her subconsciously step back.

But in the end, her waist was hugged even tighter.

"If you don't let go of me, I'll..."

"I am very puzzled!"

Xiao Yun's deep voice startled Shangguan Qing'er.

"Who gave you confidence, or who gave you the right? To let you speak to me like this? You're looking at me with such contempt? Who gave you the courage to not listen to my orders?"

Shangguan Qing'er widened her eyes and looked at Xiao Yun in disbelief. After a long time, she squeezed out a sentence," Master and Madam asked me to take care of you before they left... "

"Take care? Ha!"

Xiao Yun was so angry that he laughed and said coldly, "Then how did you take care of him?"

"I..."

"I was taken away by the big house, that old fox, my aunt. On the surface, she was extremely doting on me. She had everything she wanted. Let me have fun to my heart's content. I will do whatever I want. If I cause trouble, she will bear it. She would take responsibility if I got into trouble, but she would stop me from reading. If you don't let me practice martial arts, it means that you are supporting and killing me, and then you just look at me coldly? Is this what you call taking care of me?

That cheap old brother of mine almost gave me a bottle of poison, and you're just looking at me like that? This is called taking care?

It wasn't easy for me to get through it, and I even had to specially run to the gatehouse to find you and then look at your stinky face that owes you two hundred hanged dollars every day. This is your taking care?

What did you take care of?"

"I..."

Shangguan Qing'er was shocked again.

She did not think that Xiao Yun actually knew about the matter of big aunt supporting and killing!

Xiao Yun said sternly, "Now that I have taken you as my servant, do you respect me? If you don't obey my orders, it is because you are disloyal!

As a slave of the Shangguan family, you are considered a family member. It is unfilial of you to disobey the orders given by the old master and his wife!

You don't care if I am poisoned to death. You and I are master and servant, and we owe each other a visit. It is an act of unfilial piety!

During the recuperation period, there was not a single helper in this cold and gloomy room. The blanket was as cold as iron, and not even a cup of hot water could be drunk. I climbed to the kitchen and got something to eat, so I didn't starve to death. However, you didn't care at all. It was for the sake of injustice!

You're such a disloyal, unfilial, and immoral bitch. Why do you have to put on such a stinky face every day? What right do you have? What can you rely on? Tell me? Un? What kind of reliance does he have? I'm really f * cking curious!!"

Shangguan Qing'er turned pale with fright as her entire body trembled. She said with a trembling voice," Young Master, this servant is... "

"Enough!"

Xiao Yun slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He then opened his eyes but once again had a smile on his face.

"The past is still the past. From now on... I hope you can keep your duty and do your duty well. As for your wish... Don't you want to go to the Northern Battlefield one day to avenge my parents? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and this matter is definitely not that simple. We need to think about it carefully."

Yes, the death of his parents in this life isn't that simple.

Xiao Yun is still alive in Xiao family alone. How could his mother possibly die in love?

And the matter of the big families...

As an assassin in his previous life, Xiao Yun had the best understanding of the bullshit in the big families.

Because those who needed him to kill were all important figures. If he wanted to kill them successfully, he would need to understand them, dig them up, and even understand them better than the other party. Only then would he be able to kill them with a single strike.

If he hadn't been betrayed, how could he have been killed while his career was at its peak?

He wanted to go back and take revenge!

But first, he had to survive in this world.

Obviously, this was quite difficult.

This was because more than ten days ago, when he poisoned Xia, the other party had clearly said that he had bought poison, but before he could poison him, Xiao Yun had already started to poison him!

Xiao Yun believed him.

When a person is about to die, his words are also kind.

Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yun pointed to the gums in the room and said, "Go and lay down the bedding for me now. You can lie down and warm it up first before calling me."
