Chapter 550 Whose New Swallow Pecks Spring Mud (9)

She continued to embroider flowers when he was air.

He sat for a while, then said again: "He's grown very tall now, I'll let him come to Cangzhou, can you take a look at him?"

She still ignored it.

He sat silently for a while, then said in a low voice, "Xi'er, talk to me."

What could she have said to him?
She has nothing to say to him.

he's gone.

She put down her needle and thread, looked at the empty room, and her heart felt as painful as death.

Her brother Huai...

She hasn't seen her for three or four years.

She misses him.Missing him like crazy!
But she can't meet him.

As soon as we meet, he will definitely let her go back with him, and she will definitely not be able to bear it!
But she can't go back.She can no longer live under the same roof with Xiao Fang, his hands are covered with the blood of her Wei family!
But she gave up the idea of ​​moving again.

The recent situation of brother Huai'er that he brought made her suddenly not want to leave anymore.

She wants to know how her son is doing.

Moreover, if she still can't escape his control no matter where she goes, then it doesn't make sense for her to move again.

She settled here and used her savings to open a small shop selling needlework.

The neighbors are very kind, and the days are peaceful and stable. If you don't think about those things, it is still peaceful.

Although she could see guards with the logo of King Yan's Mansion hanging on the sword tassels hanging around on the street, he didn't appear often.

Even if he came, he would talk and she would do her thing.

He is also silent most of the time, often sitting opposite her who is busy with her own affairs across half the room.

She would never have any reaction to his appearance, even if she heard the news of Brother Huai.

She is still confident that he will keep him safe and sound.

As spring and autumn come, the ginkgo tree in front of the gate turns green and turns yellow again.

Nothing has changed in their relationship.

It's like two people who can't touch each other's world, exist separated by a layer of transparent air.

Xiao Fang didn't know how many times he came here, nor how many times he would have to come like this in the future, but he never felt bored.

Even if he is facing a portrait, he can sit facing it for a lifetime, let alone she still exists alive?
When he comes, he talks to her more often.

And sometimes, he would also sit on the twig and take a nap with his head propped on his forehead.

Wei Xi'er would always feel for the dagger in his sleeve at this time, calmly choosing which part of him would be more suitable to stab at?More quickly deadly?
Although she wouldn't really be sure of killing him, just thinking about it would make her heart ache like a drop of blood, and the pain would make her feel better.

The most desperation is numbness.She was afraid that with time, she would become numb to the blood debt he owed her.

One day, she saw him sleeping on the porch for a while, and finally couldn't hold back, she walked over with the knife in her hand, gritted her teeth and stabbed him in the neck!

When her hand fell halfway, she was held up by him.

"The strength is too small." He looked at her from a distance of a fist, his eyes were deep under his long eyelashes, and his breath fell on her face.

He snatched the dagger, looked at it in his hand, and then looked at her: "Next time I'll bring you a longer one. This one can't kill me, it's almost as good as killing a chicken.

"Besides, Xi'er, your gesture of holding the knife like this is also wrong, you should hold it in reverse, otherwise you will hurt yourself."

He held her hand and taught her patiently.

She couldn't tell whether it was shame or anger, she glared at him, and struggled away from his hands.

Embarrassed.

She's always in such a mess.

When he came back later, he took a three-inch knife and put it on the table.

The blade is extremely sharp, it is very useful to her, she will not be so stupid as to refuse.

But as soon as she saw her name engraved on one side, she immediately threw it away!

When he took it again, there was no name on the blade.

He didn't come for a long time after that, she heard the news that Li Ding's harem was not peaceful, the empress passed away, and a new crown prince was appointed in the imperial court.

During this time, she has become more harmonious with her neighbors.

She is willing to talk to them, socialize, and help each other with them.

They would ask her about him who occasionally appeared in her courtyard, especially the shopkeeper of the silk shop opposite who usually took care of her a lot, as if every time Xiao Fang appeared, he paid special attention.

The shopkeeper's surname is Hu, and his first wife has passed away. For the time being, he has no reunion or concubine, and lives alone with a pair of children.

He is dull, but he is good at helping others. If there is anything in the neighborhood, he will go to anyone who can help.

She occasionally needs to move a heavy object, and he also offers to help.

His two sons and daughters are about the same age as Brother Huai's, and the youngest daughter is also very well-behaved. Sometimes she also helps the children with sewing.

Shopkeeper Hu said: "That gentleman doesn't look like an ordinary person."

She smiled and said, "It's unusual, the capital specially invited him to be the executioner."

Executioners earn a lot of money but their status is extremely low, and no one dares to approach them, so it is often the people with no other prospects and hideous faces who do this.

Shopkeeper Hu was stunned for a moment: "It doesn't look like it." He was so handsome, so good-looking, and so imposing that one would unconsciously want to kneel down in front of him.

She said casually: "Whether you look like it or not, it won't be written on your face, will it?"

She said he was her distant relative, the one she had only seen once in a few years, and shopkeeper Hu was relieved.

The youngest daughter of the Hu family suddenly broke her head in the school. The shopkeeper Hu was not at home, and the teacher in the private school couldn't find anyone else, so he invited her to go to the opposite door.

She took the little girl to see a doctor, and gave her some medicine.

After shopkeeper Hu came back, he thanked her a lot. Seeing that she likes to grow flowers, he shyly gave her two pots of orchids as a thank you.

Of course she didn't accept it, he insisted, and she reluctantly accepted it under the witness of the neighbor's aunt.

Within two days, Xiao Fang came and appeared in her room.

"If you don't want to go back, then I'll set up a house for you and add a few servants."

This powerful minister who had just made Li Rui the crown prince in collaboration with Taifu Bi Shangyun, suppressed the next group of His Royal Highness King Yan who was about to plot evil from the abandoned crown prince's mother clan in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Although he was still sitting domineeringly, but But there was only gentleness in the tone, "It's not safe for you to live alone. It's easy to get tired from work. Besides, it's not good to bother the neighbors all the time."

She turned a deaf ear to it and made the bed and folded the quilt on her own.

He also stretched his hands too far, and he actually took care of her affairs!

He was silent for a while, and then said: "This orchid is too fragrant, you can't sleep well, don't put it in the room, or you won't sleep well."

She moved a chair and sat outside the window, and began to embroider.

He followed to the door and beckoned the guards to bring a nanmu box: "I'll help you move the flowers. Here is your favorite agarwood. You light this in the room. It's better for your headache."

He couldn't wait for her to respond, so he put the box on the twig beside her, and left with the pot of orchid in his arms.
