Chapter 115 The Cruel Future

Xu's Inner Courtyard
"Luo'er, you have to know that no matter what, you are the eldest lady of the Xu family. You are very good. You can only be good if you understand that the Xu family is good. People like Xu Weiwan who come from a humble background and don't know the severity directly discredit the Xu family. Otherwise, you seem to be doing well these days, and the Xu family still needs you to work harder in the future. The old man is already at this age, and he can't enjoy the blessings of the younger generation. Now that he lives one day is one more day Planning for the future of the Xu family every day, you have to believe that no matter what, being old will not harm your juniors. Xu Weiwan is just an old man who is sensible and interesting, and looks beautiful. Because your parents only have you as an only daughter, you want to You were too lonely without a brother or sister to help you in the future, so you took her back to the Xu Mansion temporarily, but unexpectedly, you brought back a white-eyed wolf."

Mrs. Xu just showed her power the night before and dealt with Xu Weiwan severely. From the past, she became Xu Weiwan from a humble background, and the change was quite fast.

She is now facing Xu Qingluo, as if she doesn't have the disgust she used to have in the past. Pampering and protecting Xu Weiwan and Xu Qingluo's fight in the ring, Xu Qingluo naturally wouldn't make trouble at this time.

After Mrs. Xu's words fell, she said respectfully: "Luo'er understands grandma's intentions, everything is just that Xu Weiwan failed grandma's expectations."

Although he won't take the initiative to find trouble, but for Mrs. Xu, that's what he did. The superficial respect is enough. To be honest, Xu Qingluo has already reached the point where he doesn't even bother to be disappointed with Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu didn't see the disapproval in Xu Qingluo's lowered eyes, she just saw her bowing her head respectfully on the surface, and smiled with satisfaction. She really didn't like this granddaughter. According to her original intention, Xu Weiwan Mrs. Xu will never bow her head and admit her mistake, even if she only admits her mistake in such a veiled manner, it is only because of the banquet yesterday, that Wuzhou City gave face to all the dignitaries, down to the common people The banquet made her see many things that she had overlooked before.

For example, Xu Qingluo's usefulness to the family.

Why did Sheng Jia abandon the city lord's mansion and come to the Xu family, which is not even a family of officials? At first, Mrs. Xu was really hot-headed, thinking that it was the smoke from the Xu family's ancestors or the Xu family's reputation in Wuzhou City. Most of it reached the ears of the sage, and only when he woke up did he think of Xu Qingluo's nominal fiancé, first-rank general Lang Cheng.

It is said that General Na Lang is very popular in Beijing now, and many people say that the Xu family's good deed of taking over is the request of General Lang.

Yesterday, the people in the mansion came and went, and the news was the most well-informed and messy. Madam Xu seemed to have opened her mind and realized the value of Xu Qingluo. Otherwise, she would have been dissatisfied with Xu Weiwan's sowing discord and disturbing the mansion last night. An Ning hurt Xu Liang, so she wouldn't just throw away the pawns that she had brought with her for so long.

"Luo'er, did that General Lang write to you?"

The more you look at Xu Qingluo's appearance, the more beautiful it is. Even if you lower your head, only half of your face is exposed, the beautiful jawline, beautiful red lips, nose that is as straight as a jade, and because of a little curvature The beautiful curvature of the exposed neck.

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but smile a little. First-rank general, although this martial artist is not as respected as a civil servant, but first-rank is enough. At least many members of the Xu family can get some promotion and benefits.

Thinking of this, she looked at Xu Qingluo with a more 'kind' gaze.

Xu Qingluo felt that Mrs. Xu's eyes as if looking at the goods were a little funny, and the other party's question was even more ridiculous: "Grandmother was joking, even though Luo'er and General Lang already have a marriage contract, Luo'er will not be Lang for a day." Housewives have to stick to their duties every day, so how can they communicate with each other privately? General Lang is the most rigid person who values ​​rules."

Xu Qingluo's seemingly calm and correct answer is actually a hidden wit. For Mrs. Xu's thoughts, Xu Qingluo knows everything about it, and she can guess it out of ten. She naturally knows. What does a first-rank general mean to a Xu family with no background, and a first-rank general who is not disabled, holds power in his hands, and is still favored by the emperor at this stage means a lot to many people.

It means power, wealth, and self-righteous reliance.

In the previous life, Xu Qingluo looked down on Lang Cheng, a lame first-rank general who had already lost most of his military power. The members of the Xu family, except her parents, liked him very much. However, her so-called 'family members' who can help out can't wait to use the name of the general outside, making Lang Sheng's situation even more difficult.

Of course, after the general lost half of his military power and became a pure idler, those family members, including Xu Weiwan, encouraged her to climb into Yang Yunping's bed.

Xu Qingluo always remembered the deaths of more than 100 members of the Xu family in her previous life, but to be honest, she was just indifferent to most people except her parents. Can't wait to enjoy the rights like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water that her body was traded for.

"Laoer—"

Mrs. Xu was a little dissatisfied with Xu Qingluo's answer. She frowned and wanted to say a few words about Xu Qingluo's inactivity. It's time for a change of dressing."

Mrs. Xu choked, feeling that Xu Qingluo was still too unsatisfactory. If Xu Weiwan was here, but as long as she said a word, everything would be done beautifully according to her wishes. Generally speaking, after talking so much, he still looks dull and annoying.

"Forget it, you can go down now. If Brother Liang's injury is better, let him come over. I have something to ask him."

Mrs. Xu decided to talk to her son.

As soon as Xu Qingluo walked out of Mrs. Xu's room, she felt relaxed all over her body. She squeezed her shoulders and saw Baicao who was hiding behind the pillar with a sad face and was afraid to come over.

"Have you still not found anyone?"

Xu Qingluo guessed it when he saw Baicao's expression.

"Miss, the servants sent out have searched all over the vicinity, but they couldn't find it. Then Xu Weiwan seems to have disappeared out of thin air."

Sighing, compared to Mrs. Xu like this, to be honest, Xu Weiwan is more guarded.

Although Xu Weiwan was beaten thirty times and kicked out of Xu's house, Xu Qingluo didn't think that these were enough to make her stand up. Xu Qingluo never had the habit of underestimating her opponents. Although Xu Weiwan was good at insidiousness However, it is impossible to guard against such an enemy hiding in the dark, so she ordered people to find Xu Weiwan who was thrown out of Xu's mansion last night as soon as she had time, and controlled her.

Hitting a snake to survive is better than suffering from it, Xu Qingluo has always agreed with this point.

It's a pity that Xu Weiwan escaped in the end: "It didn't disappear out of thin air, someone probably took her away. Xu Weiwan's injury, if there is no external force to intervene, it is impossible to find no trace."

Xu Qingluo's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't know who made the move behind his back this time, and why did he help Xu Weiwan?
-

Half a month is fleeting. Compared with the turmoil of various things in the previous period, Wuzhou City has been very peaceful during this period, and there is even a feeling that the mountains and rain are about to come and the wind is overwhelming. Of course, this is Xu Qingluo and a few other caring people. unique feeling.

Although the project of the Xu Mansion was completed half a month ago, there are still some small areas that need to be modified, and it took another half a month to be considered completely completed, because both Gongzi Yan and Yang Qian have helped a lot in the reconstruction of the Xu Mansion. Less busy, and the relationship between the two of them and Xu's mansion has become very close through these incidents, Xu Qingluo specially invited the two of them to take their parents to inspect the whole mansion for the last time.

Several people were very satisfied with the completed Xu Mansion, especially Xu's father and Xu's mother, who thanked Gong Ziyan and Yang Qian for their help during this time. The atmosphere is extremely harmonious.

It's just that no one knows, Gong Ziyan stared at those details that have been improved a lot, those details that ordinary people, even most people in the capital, should not pay attention to, and the eyes looking at Xu Qingluo became more and more profound.

Xu Qingluo didn't seem to realize it, but after inspecting the mansion and seeing off Xu Liang and Xu's mother, he invited son Yan and Yang Qian to have tea together.

The snacks are all made by Xu Qingluo during this period of time and taught to the servants in the mansion. They are exquisite and small, in the shape of flowers, leaves, round pastries wrapped in golden yellow, and crystal clear square pastries. Some animal-shaped desserts are very attractive just by looking at them. Gong Ziyan picked up one casually, looked at Xu Qingluo, who was making tea, and his movements were graceful and moving, and suddenly chuckled: "Beautiful scenery and delicious food!" Beauty, today's trip is worth it."

What he said was quite frivolous. Yang Qian had looked at Xu Qingluo slightly absent-minded, but now he frowned when he heard what Gongzi Yan said: "Mr. Yan, as an outsider, some words should be spoken according to the situation. After all, Miss Xu I already have a marriage contract, what if someone makes a fuss about it."

Yang Qian has a heart for Xu Qingluo, the more he has a heart for Xu Qingluo, the more he wants to protect her.

His intention was never to possess, but to fulfill.

"Well, isn't it okay to tell the truth? Besides"

Gong Ziyan supported his chin with one hand, looking quite lazy: "I have such a good friendship with you, Luo'er, I think I am no longer an outsider."

"You! How could you."

Yang Qian was a little annoyed because of Gong Ziyan's words, especially when the other party opened his mouth and called Xu Qingluo, how could the girl's boudoir, Gong Ziyan, say it so directly.

Gong Ziyan blinked: "How can I?"

He pretended not to know.

"Yang Qian, you and Gong Ziyan are not considered outsiders with me. I would like to thank you two for your great help during this time. Otherwise, the Xu Mansion would not be able to be rebuilt in such a short period of time anyway. Tea will replace it." Wine, how about it?"

Xu Qingluo poked lightly with his bright wrist, and the last stream of water was injected from above, and the water splashed everywhere. In the blink of an eye, several cups on the tray had been filled with half a cup of tea.

The fragrance of tea was overflowing, Xu Qingluo handed a cup of tea to Yang Qian first, and then passed the second cup of tea to Gong Ziyan.

Because of Xu Qingluo's words, the anger on Yang Qian's face dissipated, and he even turned a little reddish. He quickly took the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, regardless of how hot it was.

But Gong Ziyan, Shi Shiran, who smiled meaningfully, took the tea poured by Xu Qingluo himself, and brought it closer to his lips, smelling the aroma, and looked more and more extraordinary.

"Luo'er's tea ceremony is actually so extraordinary."

Gong Ziyan looked personable, but he really wanted to hit the snake with the sincerity on the stick. Xu Qingluo said just now whether he was polite or not, he really was.

Yang Qian looked sideways.

Xu Qingluo noticed the position of his sleeve because of Young Master Yan's action of picking up the teacup. A touch of bright red fell on the snow-white sleeve. The bright red is natural, light and appropriate, not too light , and it won't be too dazzling, as if a flower petal is falling and contaminating.

that color
Xu Qingluo's eyes darkened for a moment.

Young Master Yan was so vigilant, after Xu Qingluo's eyes fell on his sleeve for a while, he realized something was wrong, he looked along Xu Qingluo's eyes, and saw the snow-white clothes There are traces on the sleeves, and he smiled disappointedly: "Oh, I'm so rude. I didn't expect that there would be rouge on the sleeves. I don't know how many people saw them along the way. This is my mother who asked me to help her choose it together. Sending the rouge to relatives in the capital, I said how the man understands this, but she insisted on me reading it together, but it got here."

Gong Ziyan drank the tea in his hand and dropped his sleeves naturally. His demeanor was calm and his movements were gentle, showing no reluctance or panic at all.

Xu Qingluo's eyes were deep, and he smiled: "Maybe Mr. Yan's vision has something unique."

Gong Ziyan had already left, but Yang Qian did not.

Because he has something to say to Xu Qingluo: "Xu Weiwan hasn't been found yet, I asked all the people in Huai County who are familiar with me to look for her, and no one has seen her. Also, the Fujia people seem to have looked for her in private , but like me, I got nothing. But I made people pay attention to the city gate, and no one like Xu Weiwan left there."

Xu Qingluo couldn't find anyone by herself, and later asked Yang Qian to find someone. No matter what, she never underestimated Xu Weiwan. An injured poisonous snake is more vicious than an uninjured one, and it is hard to guard against.

"keep the change."

Xu Qingluo turned to look at Yang Qian: "I may already know where she is."

Originally, he suspected that someone had hidden Xu Weiwan, but he had just seen it and sent the suspected candidate directly in front of her.

Xu Qingluo had been sisters with Xu Weiwan for so many years in her previous life, so she was very clear about most of her things. For example, Xu Weiwan was good at making rouge, and Xu Qingluo had seen the color stained on the sleeves of Young Master Yan just now. It looks extraordinarily vivid red, Xu Weiwan even named that color of rouge, and it was called 'Shuangluo'. Isn't it just like the first touch of color in spring when the bloom of frost falls?

"where?"

Yang Qian was puzzled.

"For a long time, whether it's me and you, or Fujia, even after searching the whole city, there is one place that I have never been to."

There was consternation in Yang Qian's eyes: "Young Master's Mansion?"

Xu Qingluo did not deny it.

"How is that possible! Although Gong Ziyan is unsure, he has always helped you."

Yang Qian's voice became lower and lower.

Helping each other once or twice does not mean permanent helping. Sometimes, the most terrifying thing is not the enemy, but the friend, because you think you are a friend, you will not guard against it, just like the Yang Mansion that was so easily destroyed in Yang Yunping's hands are average.

Love is divided into two words, for some people, it seems like a joke.

-

Gongziyan's smile completely disappeared from the moment he stepped into the gate of the prince's mansion. His face was so cold that all the servants he met on the road lowered their heads. Gongziyan had never lost his composure before.

He has always been calm and calm, not infected by any external objects, and he has never shown his emotions so clearly.Xu Weiwan was looking at the newly delivered jewelry, gesturing that this one was too vulgar, that one was too flowery, that the color wasn't bright enough, the pearls weren't round enough, and the gold amber wasn't pasted neatly enough.

Xu Weiwan spent the past half month in the Young Master's Mansion quite comfortably. Her injuries have already healed, her complexion is rosy, and her eyes are shining with anticipation for the future. Glancing at the other party, he casually picked up a pearl hairpin on the dressing table and threw it to the other party. In the other party's overjoyed voice, he slightly curled his lips: "As long as you are loyal, you will have good things in the future."

The little maid kept expressing her loyalty.

"Go and ask, why hasn't the young master come back?"

Xu Weiwan snorted contemptuously, and gave orders.

The little maid stepped back and walked to the door, the door was pushed open heavily, and there was a bang, Xu Weiwan was trying out other hairpins, and she almost dropped the hairpin on the ground when she was frightened: "Damn, I can't open the door easily , in a hurry to reincarnate and fail to become a son—”

Xu Weiwan's voice went from being high-pitched to being at a loss. She saw the young master Yan in white clothes like snow from the mirror, and saw his jade-like handsome face. She didn't know if it was because of the reflection in the mirror, but that face seemed to be distorted.

"Wan'er has seen the young master, the young master must be tired after going out, Wan'er has ordered the cook to warm up the soup for the young master at any time, and ask Wan'er to help the young master change his clothes."

Xu Weiwan spoke softly, turned around and lowered her eyes, trying her best to show her tenderness, trying to make Gong Ziyan forget what she said to the maid just now, while thinking about how to deal with that dead girl later, Humiliate yourself.

As Young Master Yan approached step by step, under Xu Weiwan's eyes, the pair of boots embroidered with gold silk cloud patterns slowly became clear, and the smile on her lips became more and more gentle.

The next moment, a slap sounded, and Xu Weiwan was slapped to the ground by Gong Ziyan's slap. She looked at Gong Ziyan dumbfoundedly, covered her lips, and said hoarsely, "Young master."

Gong Ziyan squatted down, grabbed Xu Weiwan's hand covering his face with one hand, there was no smile on his face, only cold and harsh: "Did I tell you that I like obedient and obedient women?"

"Master, I, I am very obedient, I admire you, and I am willing to do anything you ask me to do."

Xu Weiwan's words came to an abrupt end, because Gong Ziyan unfolded the bright red on his cuff.

The man's eyes were full of sternness: "Xu Weiwan, I didn't save you to play tricks on me. Since you can't put away those vicious thoughts of yours, I'll put them away for you! Someone!"

Gong Ziyan waved his hand fiercely, and threw Xu Weiwan's body away heavily. With a bang, Xu Weiwan's body hit the dressing table, and the delicate hairpins on it fell like rain.

"what!"

Xu Weiwan screamed, although she covered her face in time, her body was still scratched by sharp hairpins in several places, and she didn't care about these precious jewelry that made her happy and proud just now, she crawled forward two steps, and grabbed the young master The hem of Yan's clothes: "Master, please give me another chance, I just love you, I just don't want you to be snatched away by other women, son, I will never dare again, please give me one more chance Chance."

Xu Weiwan's face was full of tears. She had seen Gongzi Yan deal with a thoughtful woman, and the good time of the past half month made her forget the cruelty of the other party.

The door was pushed open, and two maids appeared in the room, including the little maid that Xu Weiwan rewarded with a hairpin just now, which she despised, but at this moment the faces of the two maids were as cold as Gong Ziyan, cold to the bone.

"Miss Wan'er needs to wake up and recognize her identity."

Amid Xu Weiwan's screams, continuous applause rang out.

The skin and flesh on the face were all open and bloody, it looked disgusting and terrifying, and the miserable humming sound overflowed from the unrecognizable lips and teeth. Just now, she was still a pitiful beauty, but just for a while, she has already turned into a ghost face Rakshasa.

The two maids holding their mouths stood quietly aside, Xu Weiwan's eyes were full of despair and fear, she looked at Gongzi Yan who was approaching step by step, with her hands on the ground, she wanted to back up but didn't dare to move.

The tears in her eyes had already dried up, her voice was already broken, Xu Weiwan's heart had never been so desperate, and she had never been so afraid of a person.

Gong Ziyan stretched out his hand and pinched Xu Weiwan's blood-stained chin. Xu Weiwan saw his current appearance in his eyes, saw that terrifying face, and felt that his whole heart was immersed in ice water.

Gong Ziyan looked at Xu Weiwan's appearance, but smiled. The man who was so angry and cold just now smiled as handsome, elegant and charming as before: "This appearance is much more pleasing to the eye than your original appearance."

Xu Weiwan was astonished.

"To be completely destroyed can be better remodeled."

At that moment, Xu Weiwan shuddered. Tears flowed down her dry eyes uncontrollably. Before she closed her eyes, she tightly grasped Gong Ziyan's sleeve. It was already like this, and she had no way out.

Even if Gong Ziyan is the cruelest person in the world, she can only cling to this person.

Xu Weiwan has never had such a clear understanding of her own future, a terrifying and cruel future.
