At this moment, Han Zitong's breathing was suffocated.

Because the one standing at the door was Pei Yuanxiu.

He was still dressed in white, emitting a faint light in the night, like the moonlight, but this light had a bit of surprise and gloomy feeling, probably because there was a heavy expression on his face and there was not even any light in his eyes. When he raised his head to look at us, I even felt a stranger standing in front of me.

Perhaps because there are some things that cannot be covered up, and there is no way to escape.

Han Zitong, as if she had completely lost consciousness, was so stupid, she looked at Pei Yuanxiu with two empty hands, and she felt as if she was empty, she couldn't hold on to anything, and she didn't dare to ask for anything, and she didn't dare to fight for it.

Her trembling voice sounded softly: "Yuan Xiu, you--"

I turned my head again and looked at Pei Yuanxiu who didn't say a word.

Han Zitong was trembling: "When did you come?"

“…”

"What did you hear?"

She became a little panicked, and even without waiting for Pei Yuanxiu to answer, she hurriedly said: "No matter what you hear, it's all fake. It's Yan Qingying who is talking nonsense. I, I don't-"

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu spoke lightly, his voice deliberately indifferent, but it could not hide the impulse in his heart at this moment.

He said, "I've been here for a while."

“…”

"I heard everything I should hear."

“…”

"I also know what is true and what is false."

When he finished speaking, Han Zitong was like a puppet whose connection was completely cut off. She lost her traction. When her legs became weak, she fell to the ground in a mess, and with one hand she touched the short knife that had just fallen to her feet.

As soon as she touched the hilt, she trembled for a moment, raised her head to look at Pei Yuanxiu, and looked at me again.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand something: "You - it's you!"

“…”

"You did it on purpose!"

I looked down at her, frowned slightly but said nothing, and couldn't say anything. At this moment, Han Zitong's face was full of anger. She grabbed the short knife and stood up suddenly: "I'll kill you!"

At this moment, she seemed to have completely lost her mind. Under the dim candlelight, I saw her eyes instantly congested and red, as if she had gone from a trapped beast that had just fallen into a trap to a beast that rushed out of the predicament. She wanted to tear everything in front of her with her sharp teeth, especially me!

With a "cang", the short knife was pulled out of the scabbard, and a cold light flashed in front of me.

In an instant, she had already grabbed the hilt of the knife and rushed towards me angrily. The distance between her and me was only a few short steps. At this time, I could not even accept it and dodge. The sharp and chilling tip of the knife was already in front of me and was about to pierce my chest!

At this moment, suddenly, a hand came across from the side and grabbed the short knife!

Han Zitong used all his strength to stab the knife, and at this moment there was no time to stop. The sharp blade "sniffed" in the palm of the hand, and suddenly cut the heavy palm. A wisp of blood was soaked out from the tight fingers, more and more, and slowly the entire hand was covered with blood gushing out, even dyed the whole knife red, and the blood dripped down along the tip of the knife bit by bit.

At this moment, Han Zitong and I were completely shocked.

When he raised his head, he saw Pei Yuanxiu's heavy face. His eyes were clearly shining with trembling caused by severe pain, but he just looked at me: "Is it okay?"

“…”

My throat was completely hoarse, I couldn't speak, just looking at him.

I didn't get my answer. In fact, everyone knew that the knife didn't even touch the corner of my clothes, and he held it firmly in his hand. But he still looked at me and made sure that I was not hurt at all. Then he seemed to be relieved and turned to look at Han Zitong: "Have you forgotten what I said?"

“…”

"No matter what happens, no matter what you want - only her!"

“…”

"Only her, you can't hurt, let alone touch!"

At this moment, before he could ask for orders, Han Zitong felt as if he had been stabbed by himself when he held his knife in his hand, and was completely shocked. At this time, he was even more incapable of possessing himself. After Pei Yuanxiu finished speaking the last word, his hand loosened and the hilt of the knife was released.

Pei Yuanxiu still held the blade tightly and didn't let go of his hand until he was sure that no longer any danger was coming.

With a clang, the short knife fell to the ground again.

But this time, it was dazzling red!

I suddenly felt a sense of dizziness coming, almost knocking me down. Although these three people in the room were the only ones who had not suffered severe damage in their hearts and body, they seemed to be infected by their pain and started to hurt.

I saw Pei Yuanxiu's hand slowly lowering and hanging down beside him. I couldn't see the wound in his palm. I could only see blood flowing down along his fingertips, drop by drop, drop, drop to the ground.

The room suddenly became filled with a strong smell of blood.

When I spoke, my voice was also dumb: "You—"

Feeling that I didn't know what to say, maybe I couldn't say anything, Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me. In such a strong smell of blood, his eyes were as gentle as a cloud, and a gust of wind, and said softly: "Don't worry, as long as you are not injured, that's fine."

“…”

And Han Zitong finally staggered and stood firm.

She probably never dreamed that after saying those words, Pei Yuanxiu would actually stand at the door and hear everything she said, not to mention that Pei Yuanxiu would use her flesh and blood to stop the stab she stabbed me.

I know that that knife not only hurt Pei Yuanxiu.

It hurt her heart even more.

At this moment, I heard Pei Yuanxiu deliberately suppressing his breathing, as well as Han Zitong's messy heartbeat and breathing, as if everything around me was completely in chaos. Seeing them facing each other silently, for a moment, I felt a sense of depression that I could not breathe.

I took a step slowly, walked to him, and held his hand.

He did not stop me, perhaps because he had no strength to stop me, so he let me gently hold his hand. When he looked back, a deep bloody mouth in his palm came into his eyes, and suddenly made my eyes turn red, and my hands trembled slightly.

Seeing me like this, he whispered, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

“…”

I lowered my head and didn't look at him. I just felt that the blood-red color was like a burning flame, which made me almost cry. I gritted my teeth tightly to suppress the helplessness and sadness that surged in my heart at this moment, and took out a handkerchief from my sleeve and bandaged it.

Although the wound was deep, fortunately it was not penetrated, and his fingers could still move, and it should not hurt his muscles and bones.

After bandaging him, I gently held the hand and put it down, and said, "You guys, let's talk."

“…”

"I'll go and have someone call the doctor to come for you."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Pei Yuanxiu didn't mean to stop me. He just stood at the door and did not dodge, and what he said to Han Zitong later proved that he was coming to face everything tonight. But when I was by his side, he still couldn't help calling me: "Qingying..."

My steps stagnated.

But I didn't look back, but just said softly: "At this time, there are too many three people."

“…”

"Since you both are here now, why not make some things clear. Yuan Xiu, have you been hesitating all the time? Miss Zitong is willing or not, how should she decide on this marriage? Actually, I think you should listen to what she thinks, or what she wants."

“…”

"As for you, Miss Zitong," I looked back at her and said softly: "What do you think in your heart, what you want, you have been hiding it for so long, and you should find someone to talk about it."

“…”

"This person is him, and this opportunity is probably your last chance."

“…”

"If you still want to hide everything in your heart and keep it hiding-"

I didn't finish this sentence, because I saw the almost broken gaze in her eyes, which had already emitted too much pain, so I just turned my head lightly and walked out from Pei Yuanxiu.

But this time, he reached out and grabbed my wrist.

His palms, wounds, and blood were soaked in the handkerchief. When he grabbed me, my skin could even feel the temperature of the blood in his body, which made me shiver slightly.

I looked up at him.

In the night, his eyes flashed, as if there were many words to say, and even the force in his hands was much heavier than when he was catching me on weekdays. However, although thousands of words flashed in his eyes, at this moment, he only asked the most powerless words-

"Why?"

Why?

Why do I do this?

A faint smile suddenly flashed across the corner of my mouth, but at this moment, there was an extremely bitter smile, and then said lightly: "You brought me from Xichuan to Jinling, don't ask me why."

“…”

"But at this moment, don't you want to face it yourself?"

“…”

As I said that, I looked at Han Zitong, who had completely lost her reaction behind me, looked at him again, and said nothing. I just gently took his hand with my other hand: "You two, let's have a good talk."

“…”

"I'll go and ask the doctor to prepare."

After saying that, I walked out of him.

The door was closed as well.

All the cold and alienation were separated outside the door, but when I held the door frames on both sides and closed the door, I felt a coolness soaking my thin clothes and dyeing them straight into my heart. It was almost the third day of the day, and the dew was heavy at night. No one wanted to walk outside in thin clothes at this time.

But I am willing to accept it.

When I slowly walked down the steps and walked to the path in the bamboo forest, I saw the two girls standing not far ahead, and they were carefully looking at the monastery there. As soon as I saw me walking over, I hurriedly came forward: "Ms. Yan, why are you out?"

"Is something wrong?"

I shook my head and said, "It's okay."

The two of them were still a little uneasy: "We just saw Miss Han Er coming in. She had a knife in her hand, so one of us went to invite Mr. Pei to come over immediately and the other was guarding outside."

"She didn't hurt you, right?"

"Of course not," I reluctantly smiled and raised my hand to show them, but as soon as I looked up, I saw the blood marks on my wrists, which were left by Pei Yuanxiu when he grabbed me just now, and the smile on my face suddenly stopped.

The two girls were also stunned for a moment: "This is—"

I looked at my wrist and felt like a heavy stone was pressing on my heart. I took a deep breath and said, "This is not my blood, it is Mr. Pei who is injured."

"ah?!"

They were shocked, and I had already taken a deep breath to calm myself down, and then said, "You are here with me alone, and the other one should hurry up and find the doctor in the mansion. Although he did not hurt his muscles and I bandaged him, I still want the doctor to come and take a look."

The two girls immediately agreed, and one of them turned around and ran out.

The other one stayed by my side, probably looking at the blood marks on my hand, looking at the quiet room over there, and still feeling a little scared: "Miss Yan, what happened? Master Pei and Miss Zitong will not be in trouble, right?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I shook my head and said, "It's okay. I just want to give them some time now to have a good talk with Mr. Pei and Miss Zitong. If they have a clear talk, there will be no danger in this inner courtyard in the future."

After saying that, I led her out: "Let's go, let's guard to the door, don't let someone come in and disturb them."

The girl became more and more puzzled: "Is there anyone coming so late?"

I smiled.

The two of us walked out slowly. As soon as we reached the gate, we heard footsteps outside, which were very anxious and messy. When we looked up, we saw a group of people hurriedly walking towards this side on the other side of the bridge.

The girl opened her eyes wide: "Someone is really here!"

I still just smiled faintly, and saw that among the group of people, two maids carrying lanterns were walking in front of them. The faint light kept flashing in the night, illuminating the road in front of them. After they all went up to the small bridge, I saw clearly that behind the two maids were two servants lying on a rattan chair. Han Ruoshi was naturally on the rattan chair, but she did not lie there, but hurriedly supported herself and looked ahead, as if she wanted to put her wings on her own and flew over.

And when she saw me standing at the door, even in such a dark night, I saw her face sinking a little.

Finally, the group walked to the door of the inner courtyard.

The girl behind me walked forward without hesitation and blocked their way.

The two servants put down the rattan chair, and two maids following them immediately came forward to help Han Ruoshi walk down from above, and then slowly walked to me.

I saw that under the light, Han Ruoshi's face was not better than when her sister came to the inner courtyard just now, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. I smiled and smiled, as if I was standing here to greet them: "Madam, what's wrong? I brought so many people here in the middle of the night?"

When she saw me, her face looked a little ugly, but she still reluctantly made a smile: "Sister, did Zitong come here just now?"

"yes."

"Then, where is Yuan Xiu?"

"He's here too."

At this moment, the blood on Han Ruoshi's face disappeared, as if the blood in her body had been frozen into ice. She subconsciously stepped forward and wanted to walk in, but I went up and stood in front of her quietly, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Is there anything wrong with me?"

She wanted to walk in, but I was shaking her and blocked her right. Her face suddenly became a little unpleasant. She looked up at me and said in a deep voice: "Miss Yan, do you still need to ask?"

"Um?"

"Men and women are not allowed to marry each other, and the lonely man and widow are alone in the middle of the night. This is not nice to say. Besides, Yuan Xiu is my husband and Zitong is my sister. This kind of thing should be avoided. If you let them in your room, shouldn't I come to ask?"

"Oh, it turns out that the lady is coming to ask."

I smiled and said, "But Madam, you can rest assured. I promised her that they would never have any ill-behavior behavior. They were just together and talk. Didn't the lady say before that Miss Zitong is responsible for the affairs in this mansion? She actually has a lot of time alone with her brother-in-law."

"But this is different!"

"What's different? Is it because what they talk about differently from what they usually do?"

I smiled, raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Is it supposed that what they are going to talk about is about Miss Zitong, so can't we discuss it alone?"

When Han Ruoshi heard what I said, his face turned even more ugly: "What do you think they are going to discuss?"

I smiled and said, "Yesterday, wasn't the young master and his wife discussing, it was Miss Zitong's marriage. I think now, Mr. Pei should be discussing this matter with Miss Zitong."

“…!”

"Although the wife said that the elder sister is like a mother, you should make some decisions for her, I think the young master still hopes to listen to Miss Tong's opinion in his heart. After all, she is the one who gets married, and she is a person with feelings and more feelings, not a tool."

This time, Han Ruoshi finally couldn't hold back the smile on her face, and her face completely darkened: "What are you talking about, tools?"

"Oh, I'm speechless," I smiled and said, "If an ordinary person sees his wife trying hard to get Miss Zitong married, he will be afraid that his wife will misunderstand that in order to win over the power of the Bohai King, she will use her sister. Of course, how could the wife be such a person!"
