I gritted my teeth and choked and said, "If you let go, I won't hurt."

He was stunned for a moment, raised his head to look at me, saw my red eyes and my bitten white lower lip, and then looked down at his slightly red arms. After a while of silence, he still didn't let go, but felt his fingers spasm, and then slowly relaxed the force.

Then he asked, "Does it still hurt?"

I just felt sad, and almost tears were about to flow out: "Yuan Xiu, please let me go."

“…”

"You are already going to marry Han Ruoshi. I have no meaning here anymore. You let me go, to you, to me, and even to Han Ruoshi."

“…”

"Can you let me go?"

“…”

He didn't say anything, but faced my deeper and painful eyes. His red eyes slowly became clear, and it seemed that a layer of frost condensed. He reached out and gently stroked my arm, the place on his shoulder that was hurt by him, and said gently: "Qingying, do you know that you can say these words now, but because it's too sad, you start talking nonsense."

“…”

"It's okay, when you have a rest and calm down, you won't want to leave."

“…”

"You will figure it out when you calm down."

“…”

"Now, I won't force you to have a good rest, a good rest."

Hearing these words, I slowly stiffened. Looking at his gradually calming face and his gradually calming eyes, he stood up, leaned over and leaned over, kissed my forehead, and turned around and wanted to leave.

I sat on the couch limply, watching him walk to the door and about to open the door and go out, I suddenly said, "Yuan Xiu."

His steps stopped.

"Yuan Xiu," my voice shivered slightly: "You are going to lock me up here, are you?"

“…”

"What if one day, I go crazy?"

“…”

He stood at the door, and under the dazzling sunlight, his figure seemed to tremble slightly. After a long time, he heard the hoarse voice sound, as strange as if another person was talking-

"I've been crazy long ago."

Since that day, I have been completely imprisoned.

It is said to be a confinement, but of course life is much better than real confinement. Every day, my dining table is filled with delicacies, and novel gadgets are constantly sent to me for my enjoyment. I can still walk around this mansion, and even after the notice, I can leave this Jinling Mansion and go to the street to have fun.

However, when I knew this "privilege", my heart became cold.

If you can tolerate me going out for a trip, it proves that Pei Yuanxiu has completely controlled my whereabouts and everything in Jinling. He is not afraid that I will take the opportunity to escape, otherwise he will not give me such a chance.

After realizing this, I rarely left the inner courtyard. The only person who could accompany me was the new personal maid.

Pei Yuanxiu fulfilled his promise. After that day, Xiao Ni and Xixi were released from the house by him. The next day, a slim and smart maid entered the inner courtyard and began to serve me. When I saw the face that was not unfamiliar, I subconsciously frowned.

The maid saluted me respectfully: "Madam, I pay homage to my wife."

"It's you?"

The maid in front of me was the one who had informed me several times in the past and wanted to rely on me. Unexpectedly, she actually asked her to serve me.

Seeing my slightly surprised expression, she seemed a little nervous about my current situation and her, but her attitude was quite respectful and said, "Madam, it was the young master who asked me to serve her. All the guards in the inner courtyard were arranged by the young master himself, and there were also a few newly bought little girls to do some rough work. However, the leader needs to be the old man in this mansion to be familiar with the affairs of the mansion, so the young master assigned me."

“…”

I don’t know what Pei Yuanxiu felt or really knew something, or it was something I had to do for a long time incarceration, so I made these arrangements, but no matter what, such arrangements should make my life incarceration easier in the future.

Seeing a faint smile on my face, the maid looked at me carefully for a while, then lowered her head and remained silent for a while before she said softly: "Madam."

"Um?"

"Actually - look at me, the young master still cares about his wife very much."

I smiled, "Is that true?"

"Yes. If Miss Shi's condition worsens, it can be said that she is in danger. The young master, Yao Lao, and Miss Zitong have not been in a long time since they met each other. However, the young master came to tell me all night yesterday that he should take good care of his wife and not be slackened. If we are not able to serve the wife effectively, he will take the lives of her servants."

My drooping eyelashes trembled slightly.

The maid also looked at me pitifully: "Madam, actually, the young master really cares about his wife. So, Madam, don't be too lazy to think about it."

Seeing her like this now, I understand what she means. She is afraid that I can’t think of anything that hurts me, and that I will implicate her at that time. And all the new little girls in the inner courtyard are innocent.

I thought about it and said lightly: "If you don't want to be here, I can also talk to the young master."

She looked up and looked at me.

"Don't worry, I don't say you don't want to stay, I just say I want to be alone."

“…”

She looked at me without saying anything for a moment. After a while, she said softly: "I, I am still willing to stay here and stay with my wife."

“…”

After hearing her words, I was a little surprised and looked up and looked at her again.

This girl surprised me a little last time. Her cleverness is indeed one of the few other girls in this mansion. Now, even though she is as simple as Xiao Ni and Xixi are afraid of the atmosphere and my situation, they are about to leave. Everyone knows that Pei Yuanxiu has no good life without me after marrying Han Ruoshi. Why is she still thinking about staying with me?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I smiled: "Are you still expecting me to make a comeback? If that's the case, then I think you may have been counting on the wrong ones."

Unexpectedly, the girl shook her head and looked at me. After a moment of silence, she said, "I think the lady is an extraordinary person."

“…”

"With the wife, you will definitely have a big day."

“…!”

This time, I was shocked.

I know she is very clever, and I know that she has different perspectives from ordinary girls, but I didn’t expect that she has such a “big ambition” - to be a big shot. A maid who has such an idea can be said to be an alien.

I thought for a while and smiled faintly: "Then let it go."

“…”

"I hope your own decisions won't let you down."

She stood in front of me, without saying anything, just pursed her lips.

I asked, "What's your name?"

"Caiwei."

"Okay, then from today on, you can follow me. Caiwei."

|

As Caiwei said, I saw some new faces in the inner courtyard. Perhaps Pei Yuanxiu had an explanation, the kitchenette in the inner courtyard was reopened, and my life began to nourish again. At least in terms of material and life, there is nothing to complain about. Facing a large table of dishes with all colors, fragrance and flavor, if you want to complain, you will be scolded and begged for no blessings.

However, when I raised my chopsticks, I still had no appetite at all.

Immediately, Pei Yuanxiu, who was sitting beside him, said gently: "What? Can't you eat? Do you want to eat something else? I'll let them make it again."

“…”

I glanced at him and didn't say anything.

These days, he will try to find time to accompany me to have lunch and supper every day. There is always one meal he will go with me. During the meal, he will always find some topics to talk to me, although I often don’t say a word for a meal.

Now, I am the same. Caiwei, who was standing next to serve, saw this and hurriedly said, "Maybe the lady thinks the taste of the dish is too light."

Pei Yuanxiu looked up at her.

"Mrs. The weather has become a bit hot lately. My wife has no appetite. She may have to eat some spicy dishes to get an appetite."

"Then why don't you do it?"

"Yes, I will tell the kitchen to do it now."

After saying that, she hurriedly turned around and went out.

The two people in the room remained quiet towards the table of fragrant dishes, as if even the aroma of the meal seemed a little boring at this moment. He said gently: "Or don't you drink some soup? Let's eat it when they make it again?"

Without saying anything, he went to serve a bowl of soup by himself and put it in front of me: "Drink some."

“…”

I looked at him, then looked down at the milky white, very fragrant soup.

He wanted to persuade me a few more words, and then a servant came outside and stood at the door to report that there were guests coming.

Pei Yuanxiu walked over and asked who it was. The man whispered in his ear. He calmed down for a moment, looked back at me, then walked to the table and said gently: "You drink some soup first, and you can eat it when they bring the new dishes. If a customer comes, I'll go and see you."

I still didn't say a word, and he turned around and left without saying anything.

When he left, I sat alone at the table, sat quietly for a while, picked up the soup spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup, and gently put it into my mouth.

Immediately, the strong smell filled the entire mouth.

However, after taking a sip, I felt a little bit bored and slowly put it down.

At this time, Caiwei went to the kitchen to explain the matter and came back. She frowned slightly with a little puzzled look. It was not surprising to see me sitting alone at the table. She hurriedly walked up and said, "Madam, do you want to eat something else?"

I shook my head lightly.

Although I didn't say anything, I felt her confused look. I wanted to speak but stopped several times, so I asked, "What's wrong?"

She looked outside again. As soon as Pei Yuanxiu left, we were all left here, and countless bamboo leaves swaying in the wind in the bamboo forest outside, making rustling sounds. She said to me again: "Madam, do you know what the young master has just gone out to do?"

"Aren't you a visitor?"

"Does the lady know what guests they met?"

"..." My eyebrows frowned slightly: "Who?"

"I heard them say that it seemed like an official from Yangzhou."
