Chapter 139 Fragrant Garden
Looking up at himself in the bronze mirror, is that still Lin Xiaorou?Stretching out his hand to caress the mask that was almost fitting with his real face, he couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

A fake is a fake after all, and no matter how you cover it up, you can't hide your own ugliness.

Slowly tearing off the mask along the chin, the skin is slightly aching in the tearing, I have to admire the maker of this mask, if you don't look very closely, you can hardly recognize it.

Bang bang bang, someone knocked on the door.

Lin Xiaorou quickly put the mask back on and said calmly, "Come in."

The door was pushed open and the servant girl came in with a blue and white porcelain cup in her hand. Her face was completely devoid of the coldness before, but she was smiling very politely: "The second young lady, this is the scented tea I made for you. Da Furen ordered Make sure you have a good rest tonight, this tea is for calming the nerves, you have a good night's sleep, Bridesmaid will come to make up for you tomorrow, but the wedding dress is only ready-made, I'm afraid it doesn't fit too well, I'll make you feel wronged."

Lin Xiaorou looked at her for a few seconds, until the maid turned her head unnaturally, and then asked awkwardly, "Second, Second Young Mistress, is there something on my face?"

Lin Xiaorou shook her head and said with a smile: "Nothing, but I don't understand why your attitude towards me suddenly changed. Could it be that there is poison in your tea?"

The servant girl's face froze, and she hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No, no, how could there be poison in this tea? I just thought about it carefully before the eldest lady said that after you and the second young master get married, you will assign a few maids to go there To serve you specially, I thought maybe the eldest lady would assign me there, so..."

The maid didn't continue to speak, but the meaning was self-evident. Lin Xiaorou smiled and glanced at the teacup in her hand.

Neither accept nor refuse.

The servant girl understood, took a clean cup from the table and poured half of it out by herself, then raised her neck and drank the rest of the scented tea in the cup in one gulp.

"Second young lady, look, this tea is really not poisonous."

Lin Xiaorou glanced at her, but the servant girl's expression calmed down at the moment, and it took a long time before she reached for the teacup and drank the other half cup of scented tea.

"Second Young Mistress, go to bed early. I will wake you up when Xi Niang comes tomorrow morning." Lin Xiaorou nodded indifferently. The maid started to feel sleepy not long after she opened the door and went out. She was really tired after a gloomy day, lying on the bed I can't believe that tomorrow is Lin Xiaorou's and Huo Qihan's wedding day. It seems that everything is going too smoothly, and it's even unbelievable. Isn't Huo Yuan very opposed to her? Why is he willing to kick Nangong Jing away and let her in now? ?
Is there any shady reason behind it?These incomprehensible things annoyed her more and more, she opened her mouth and yawned one after another. At first, she wanted to organize her thoughts and think about how to do the first step after getting married, but her head began to feel dizzy. In the end, my hands and feet became weak and I lost all strength. Worse, there is something wrong with this tea!Lin Xiaorou realized that something was wrong, and desperately bit the tip of her tongue in an attempt to prevent herself from falling asleep, but the effect of the medicine was too strong, she lost her head and closed her eyes completely before she could stand up and fell into a coma.

"Second Young Mistress, Second Young Mistress." After a while, the door was pushed open, and the maid who was still downcast just now opened the door and came in, walked to the bedside and bent down to observe Lin Xiaorou carefully, until she was sure that she had been drugged and could not wake up. She clapped her hands: "Hmph, fight with me. Fortunately, this girl has taken the antidote beforehand. Ergou, come in."

"Miss Chunhua, here I come."

Soon a man with a wretched face rushed in slyly, his eyebrows and eyes were slender like a mouse, especially the obscene light in his eyes, it was as wretched as it could be.

"This is that woman, but the ugly thing is before the beginning, I just paid you to act, don't take it seriously, if you really dare to stretch out your dirty hand, I will chop it off, what should I do?" You know what to do." The servant girl sneered like a lady who had taken off her hypocritical mask.

"Yes, Miss Chunhua gave me so much money, and if I don't do a good job, I will chop it myself."

The man promised repeatedly, his face almost turned into a flower with a smile.

The servant girl was about to open the door to leave, when she suddenly remembered something, she bent down and pushed Lin Xiaorou's clothes off and covered her with the quilt.

"Remember, don't touch a single hair of her." Before leaving, he reminded him again worriedly, and the man bowed his head and bowed his promise again and again.

When the person left, the man first sat on the chair in a decent manner, but as the time passed, he couldn't help but wonder, what kind of person would make Miss Chunhua pay the big price of five taels of silver? Let him come here to act.

Although Chunhua repeatedly told him not to look or touch, but it's okay to take a look.

So the man got bolder and moved forward secretly. When he got to the bedside, he looked down. Under the dim light, Lin Xiaorou was as beautiful as a mortal, as holy and elegant as a nine-day goddess.

Immediately, my throat tightened, and my hands and feet felt weak.

Beautiful, so beautiful, he has never seen such a beautiful woman in his whole life, let alone asking him to sleep for a night, even touching her is like a dream, even if he wants to shorten his life for a few years.

When the moon is dark and the wind is high, evil comes to the gallbladder, even if you can't kiss Fangze and touch it, it will be fine.

Emboldened, the man stretched out his calloused hand and touched Lin Xiaorou's face lightly. The soft touch almost drove him crazy.

With his heart racing, his complexion was already flushed. He used to go to brothels when he had some money. He was very familiar with the affairs of men and women, so he was not allowed to touch this delicious food in front of him, let alone how uncomfortable it was. But he also knew that Chunhua was not joking when she said about cutting off her hands.

So he swallowed his saliva and closed his eyes with great difficulty, and finally lay down on the chair to sleep and waited for dawn.

Huo Yuan was still in the dormitory, and the eldest lady was combing her hair in front of the mirror in underwear.

Huo Yuan sat by the bed and looked through the Huo family's expense account book for last month.

"Master, I let that foxy girl live in Xiangyuan."

Huo Yuan's hands froze, he turned his head and said angrily, "Who told you to make your own claims?"

"Sir, don't be angry. You want to drive that woman away. Tomorrow morning, just watch a good show. As for the Fragrant Garden, which has been abandoned for so many years, it's time to make good use of it. Is it possible that it has been empty all the time?"

The eldest lady looked at Huo Yuan with tears in her eyelashes, extremely aggrieved.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Huo Yuan asked with a livid face.

The eldest lady was taken aback for a moment, and tears soon fell down, regardless of her demeanor, she said: "Huo Yuan, are you still thinking about that woman, didn't you two hurt me enough back then? Now you still defend her like this, do you think I live too long?"

Huo Yuan didn't speak, the veins pinched in one hand bulged out, and he was restraining the roiling anger in his heart.

Xiangyuan has always been his taboo, Ziyun is the only one in this world who is eligible to live in Xiangyuan.
