The Cultivation of Concubine

Chapter 18: Afraid of the Dark (4)
Ajiao stood on one side, not daring to look any further.But at this moment, the Shizi who was standing next to her moved very quickly to pull the sixth girl who was kneeling on the ground up.When Grandpa Guo's cane fell, it hit Shiziye's back firmly with a "pop".

Ajiao was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth.

Xiao Heng pulled his sister up without changing his face, and said to Jingguo: "Although my sister made a mistake in today's matter, but she is young, and she also knows her mistake. This cane can be regarded as my elder brother who took it for her. Now, I hope that father will also relieve his anger and stop worrying about it." He paused, and then said, "After all—protecting children is not good, and Aunt Lu also has a responsibility."

Although the old lady didn't like the Lan family and the sixth girl, she still felt sorry for the eldest grandson.After such a cane was hit, my heart trembled immediately, and I hurriedly got up and said: "Let's forget about it. A Rong is also kind-hearted. Sister Ti is still young after all, and... In the end It also has no fate with that child." A Rong is Aunt Lu's boudoir name.The old lady looked at her grandson again, her heart ached, and she hurriedly said to Ajiao, who was stunned, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and take the son back to get the medicine."

Hearing what the old lady said, Ah Jiao quickly raised her head and glanced at Xiao Heng.

The old lady said to Lan's again: "Okay, this is the end of today's matter, you can also take Miss Ti back. A Rong just had a miscarriage, and it is time to rest, what does the noise look like?" talk."

Having said so much, Lan's had nothing to say, so he took his daughter out of Ting Lanju with a sullen face.

A Jiao followed behind Xiao Heng and went out together.

It was already night, and the Yasukuni Mansion had already lit the lamps.It's just that to go to Jitangxuan, you have to pass through a bamboo forest.The wind was strong at night, and the surrounding bamboos rustled.Ajiao walked ahead with a lamp in his hand to illuminate the son behind him, but he shivered from the cold, and his body trembled.Thinking of the fact that the eldest son was protecting the little girl Liu just now, Ajiao was a little envious.If he had such an elder brother, perhaps he would not have been sold to the Duke's mansion as a maid in the first place.

The wind was so strong that it blew out the lamp she was holding in her hand, and the surroundings were instantly dark.

"Master?" Ajiao was in a daze, and when she saw the lights went out, she quickly stopped.

Xiao Heng knew that she was afraid of the dark, but said: "There is no need to carry the lamp, let's go."

Having said that, Ajiao has nothing to say.After all, the Shizi is not in a good mood today because of the sixth girl's incident, and he got a cane from the Duke just now, so he probably doesn't feel at ease.The son of a rich family has always had a bad temper, so he might take his anger out on the current people like them.At this time, she would naturally not foolishly provoke him.

only--

It's pitch black, how can she see clearly?
A Jiao had just walked a few steps, but she didn't know what she stepped on, and she staggered when her body slipped.Just as she was about to fall, a pair of arms behind her firmly caught her.

It was too dark at night, and Ajiao gasped for breath.

Her back was against Shizi's chest, and his hands were passing through her armpits to tightly hold her waist to prevent her from falling.It was too close, she could almost smell the faint scent of green bamboo on Shi Ziye's body.Ajiao was a little panicked, and wanted to get up when she came back to her senses, but the son behind him didn't intend to let go, and just asked without thinking: "What you said to the prince today, is it from the heart?"
