C16 She's the First Card to Get You out of Here

Her gaze was too unperturbed, and she unconsciously turned her face away. Compared to her clean and tidy clothes, she was only left in a sorry state.

Water Spirit raised a hand to stroke her long hair that had yet to be combed. She coughed softly and asked, "Miss, what can I do for you?"

"No, I was just passing by."

Her face was as indifferent as her own, and her voice was as clear as frost. A hint of distance appeared in her eyes.

Even if they were to pass by, she would help them out. She fiddled with a chair and sat beside her, letting out a sigh from her throat. She then laughed, "I think there are thousands of different things that only have a few days, so I won't be able to read them all. Young lady, your face is cold and your heart is warm. Compared to Aunt Du's smiling yet emotionless character at that time, you are truly rich and loving! Then there were the three of them. Oh, no, there were those two bitches just now and that hot chick from yesterday. If they were all like that, then it would really be unbearable, let alone how they could survive in this place! "

One sentence was heartfelt and cold, the other sentence was true … Lovely? Quietly touching Pei Xueji's soft intestines, she raised her eyes slightly and focused on her. Her beautiful pupils gradually became more and more intense, and a touch of luster glazed glass blossomed at the bottom of her pupils, which had not changed in many years.

What a vigorous and free woman.

"Miss, do you know which woman has the number one card here?"

How could she not recognize him? Pei Xueji pursed her lips into a smile, but did not say anything. The girl in front of him had bright eyes and was brimming with energy. She raised her eyebrows and said, "It's fine if you don't know her. There had always been a master and a servant, but the little girl by her side was so arrogant. As her master, she knew that it wouldn't be good! It's not that I love to talk behind people's backs about their strengths and weaknesses, but if I were to meet her, I would like to ask how she usually governs her subordinates! "

Her silver pupils slightly moved as Pei Xueji frowned and said indifferently, "It seems like that girl has started her crimes quite lightly?"

"I'm fine!" Speaking of which, she was also trying to fight for her master, afraid that I would snatch the top spot … I'm telling you in secret, I was only fooling Aunt Du! With my looks, how can I be the top card? The cards are about the same. "

"You actually know the first two words of a card. You must know how to read and write …" A wisp of clouds slowly floated past and appeared in the girl's eyes. "And why are you trapped in this place with so much scattered mud?"

Card head? Just a passing remark. Why are you stuck here... This topic was somewhat sad.

"I won't die if I don't court death. If I'm not careful, that's all." He kicked at the iron chains on his feet, causing them to ring loudly. "Even if you want to escape, you can't. You can only allow yourself to be trampled on."

Pei Xueji knew that she should not have asked this question, and did not feel any sympathy for him. How could she not know of Ying Xiang Pavilion's schemes? For a moment, his quick mouth held a hint of awkwardness between his brows. He could only smile faintly and remained silent.

"What about you? Why did you come here?"

"I've been here since the beginning." This was a long story with a vague tinge to it. It was somewhat sad, but at the same time, it caused others to indulge in it.

The water spirit pursed her red lips as determination appeared on her face. Her eyes looked towards the sky and back again. In an instant, her eyes shined brightly as she approached her and chuckled, "Don't worry. If there's a chance, I'll bring you with me to escape!"

He was slightly surprised.

The woman must have misunderstood, she thought.

"I …"

"However, everything needs to be planned carefully. My anklet is especially inconvenient, and Muxi is still in Aunt Du's hands. That Aunt Du was simply too shrewd! We can set it to be the night after tomorrow after the election, but we still have to rely on random variables, and it won't be that easy. But once we think about the free life outside, we are really full of energy, and we can go through any difficulties, can we? "

"Thank you for your kind intentions." With a hint of amusement in her eyes, she continued, "But tell me, if Aunt Du knew that you were so simple and honest to lure her away, would she let you starve for three to five days, or would she ask you to pour a month's worth of nighttime incense for her?"

Suddenly, it was as if a winter wind had come, causing all the trees and flowers to go bald.

The disappointment after the shock was so obvious that it was as though it was completely bare. She was clearly thin, yet she found it comical. The words' pour incense for the night 'sounded so out of place, but when she said it in a serious yet indifferent manner, it finally poked a laughing point.

"You … You're the one who's going to pour the night incense! " They didn't know whether to laugh or cry and had already slightly retreated. They had said too much earlier that they shouldn't have said. They were in the same group again. This … they were really full of crap. Nonsense!

She gently tugged on Shui Ling's wrist, and Shui Ling was surprised. She then said softly, "My name is Pei Xue Ji, if you don't mind, you can call me Sister Pei."

He sat beside her steadily and was even closer to her than before. Surprisingly, he passed by her and introduced himself, "I'm a water spirit. If you don't abandon me, just call me Ling'er!"

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, unable to hold back their laughter. "So Sister Pei is the leader. No wonder those two women calmed down when they saw you just now."

It wasn't because she was the top card that they had to take a breather, but because she couldn't stop her eyes from glazed over as she thought of the image of a tall and imposing figure appearing in her mind.

Just as Shui Ling was about to tease him, Du Yue opened the door and entered. A flash of surprise appeared in her eyes and she quickly smiled.

"Since you're here, why don't you teach this girl how to dance?"

"Learn to dance?"

In contrast to the sound from the water spirit, Pei Xueji was dazed for a moment as she said, "It's not impossible. However, Young Master Xue has an appointment in the afternoon. Wouldn't it be too much of a burden for her?"

"Not at all!" She immediately understood what was going on and begged, "Don't be such a wicked woman. If you really want to learn, why don't you let me teach you?"

Seeing how intimate the two of them were, Aunt Du's desire to say more faded.

"Aunt Du …"

"Don't worry, that girl Mu Xi is fine. Two mouthfuls of blood won't be enough to take her life." "Because of Pei Xueji, I was only willing to give her some face. Otherwise, those few women would only be the beginning." Are you sure? "

Seeing that the water spirit had lowered her eyes, Pei Xueji spoke up for her, "Sooner or later, I'll think it through. Just now, she told me that no matter how bad it is, there can only be no food. Aunt Du, please give her some time."

Seeing how unyielding and unyielding she was, how could she think like this? Du Yue Niang was skeptical, but she was willing to give face to Pei Xueji.

"I'll get someone to wash you first."

"I'll also leave first. I'll talk to you later."

With two "oh" sounds, he watched as the two of them walked out side by side.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine, but there's one thing that's very strange …"

Pei Xueji's voice gradually faded into the endless light and shadow of the sky. Water spirit shrugged her shoulders and began to comb her hair.

The underwater estate.

He did not manage to stop in time, and the people who came knocking into him were all over the place. The sound of the cups and plates falling to the ground was especially ear-piercing, he only felt a burst of warmth in his lower abdomen, his thick eyebrows were twisted, and he was so frightened that the little girl fell to her knees on the ground with a 'plop'.

"My lord, please forgive me, please don't be angry. This servant didn't do it on purpose, it really wasn't on purpose …"

"Get down." He suppressed his anger and left with a brush of his sleeves.

The corridor was filled with purple magnolia flowers, elegant and graceful. He could smell the fragrance of the orchids turning into mud.

He was also annoyed, so he slowed down his pace and breathed out a mouthful of foul air.

When she was about to turn away, she saw a corner of the navy-blue dress fluttering into her eyes. She instinctively looked at it and her eyes suddenly focused. She strode over and stood in front of the man.

"There have been many incidents at home. If you don't say that you will share the burden for your father, how can you still have the leisure to do so?" You should at least go out and find Ling Er, she's your little sister! "

Shui Yu was holding a cup of tea and sipping a book. Unexpectedly, after a flurry of angry words, he immediately placed the teacup book in front of him and bowed. "Father, what do you say about Second Brother …"

"You still know how to ask! I thought you were really so indifferent!"

Since they had never attracted his attention, they had already gotten used to it. There was no need to go against him, so they only replied indifferently, "Now that we are in a prosperous society, with a hundred officials being honest and a father stepping around to mediate, I believe there will be a justice for my younger brother. He will be able to return home safely in a few days. Father, do not worry too much.

It was like he didn't care what you said. He was ready to get his left ear in and out of his right ear at any moment, and you couldn't do anything to him. Sighing to himself, Shui Jing slowly said, "Why didn't you listen to Father's advice? "Since you have both the martial and the martial arts, you should get yourself a position. This way, in the imperial court, the family will take care of each other. If you are famous outside, you will be able to win the admiration of a noble daughter."

"The imperial court has a father and a second brother. They can protect the entire Aquatic Manor. I have no interest in politics, so there's no point in saying so much. "

"Listen to me …"

"Father is busy, your son will not delay you any longer."

Shui Jing wanted to say more, but the water directly left him with a tall and straight figure that gradually disappeared into the distance. Flowers fall silent, water in endless silence, silent for a long time.

Actually, there was no need for them to fight each other. Since the start, they did not talk much, and they were even more distant from each other. Shui Jing flew into a rage. He raised his sleeve and pointed to the distance. In the end, he twirled the sleeve in his hand and left in a muffled voice.

When he entered the courtyard, he saw his wife's back. She was dressed in a long dress embroidered with golden threads and was holding a pair of small silver scissors. She looked like she was examining something, and it was difficult for her to make a move.

He smiled as he passed a round table and saw a pot of camellia.

Sunlight shone through the window, revealing the slightly raised head of Madam Pei. Her skin was slightly relaxed, and there were a few thin lines at the corners of her eyes. After all, she was no longer young, and many things had been taken away by the passage of time.

Shui Jing walked up and slowly said, "The tea flowers were originally cut by the palace's flower rooms. It hasn't even been three or five days, how could there be new leaves growing out of them? It's worth the trouble. "
