In summer, he sheathed his saber,
He didn’t want to meet the demons here, so he rushed out of the door just now.
He did not want to see blood here, so he used the knife to block all the blood that would have spilled on the ground.
Then, he walked into the bedroom nervously and looked around.
There was a zither on the long table by the window. He reached out and stroked it, and the sound was still leisurely.
On the other side, there was a bronze mirror and top-grade rouge. He could imagine his mother sitting there, dressed up and looking forward to the future.
Beside the bed was a pair of gold-embroidered shoes. The shoes were placed unevenly, and Xia Ji bent down to make them line up.
As he walked, he looked around. Suddenly, he saw a small embroidered sachet under the pillow.
He reached out and took it out.
Suddenly, his heart twitched.
The word “Jit‘ was crookedly embroidered on the small sachet. He suppressed the trembling in his hands and shouted, “”Men.” A maid quickly ran in and half-knelt outside the door, not daring to enter.
Xia Ji knew that this bedroom was forbidden to the servants, so he walked to the door and grabbed the sachet. “”What is this?”
The maid took a look and kowtowed in fear.”This servant does not know. This servant has only been here for a few years…”
‘ Don’t be afraid, ” Xia Ji said gently. ” Does anyone in the manor know about it?
The maid thought for a moment and suddenly said, ” Aunt Wen might Imow. She was here a long time ago. I’ll go and find her. ‘
“Go quickly.”
A moment later…
An old maid with blurry eyes came to the master bedroom. According to the temperament of the aristocratic family, a servant like her would have been chased away long ago. However, thanks to her former master, this old maid was left behind as a ” thing ” that ” reminded her of someone. ”
The old maid could not see who the person in front of her was. She knelt on the ground and said respectfully,”Greetings, Milord.”
“Aunty Wen, get up. Let’s see what this sachet is.”
When the servant heard the word ” aunt, ” he was so frightened that his entire body trembled and he almost cried. ” Sir, the hierarchy is different. You can’t do this to me. ‘
“Stand up.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The old maid walked closer in fear and carefully looked at the sachet for a while. She revealed a look of recollection and thought for a while before saying, “This was left behind by Miss.”
“Continue. Tell me more details.”
“Embroidery was originally a servant’s job, but the young miss insisted on learning. After learning, she spent a long time embroidering such a sachet, and finally embroidered a ‘Jit character on the sachet.
Miss said that she has three poles in her life, which are love, dance, and painting. The only thing she doesn’t like is martial arts, so she wants to use the word ‘Ji’ as her child’s name, and this sachet will be her amulet for her future child.”
“Why didn’t she embroider two?” Xia Ji asked casually.
‘ Miss said that she will only give birth to one child, ” the old maid said. ”
Unless she accidentally gives birth to twins, then she will be unlucky. ” And her child will be named after Ji.”
Xia Ji appeared calm on the surface, but his heart trembled. Only one child? What about Xia Xiaosu? No, Little Su’s blood could fuse with his.
“Continue.”
“Miss said that when the child grows up, she wants to bring the child to the Smiths and teach him how to draw, play chess, recite poems, carve wood and stone sculptures, cook, sing, and dance…
She didn’t want her child to be strong, to learn martial arts, or to become hypocritical and ugly. The Su family’s status was already prestigious enough. It was enough for her to be able to live a peaceful and happy life in the family for two to three hundred years and maintain a kind heart.
When her child gave birth to a grandson and the grandson gave birth to a great-grandson, this quiet mansion would become lively.
Miss is very good to people. She never puts on airs towards servants. I remember once … Miss ..
Xia Ji couldn’t listen to her anymore. He felt that if he continued to listen, he might lose his mind. The girl who had once sat in front of the dressing table with endless hope for the future, the girl who had a kind and peaceful heart, would never think that she would become an insignificant chess piece in the whirlpool of the power game. She would be casually thrown away and die.
Before long, the sky grew dark, The pool is full of green lotuses, Carved corridors and painted pillars,
In the manor on the clouds,
They were all bathed in the soft, yellow twilight.
The wind was blowing late, and suddenly, the sound of flying carriages landing could be heard in the distance, followed by the sound of many dense footsteps coming over.
Many people came. The Marquis of Freezing Sky, who had been injured and unconscious, had woken up. He was supported by two servants with fierce eyes. Many disciples of the Su family, many nobles with ashen faces, the Eldest Princess, Frost Monarch, and the family head came in with him.
With so many important figures appearing at the same time, the servants were almost petrified. They knelt down one after another, not daring to raise their heads.
In the quiet courtyard, Xia Ji stood in front of the door, facing a group of people.
A burning evil fire suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart. His rationality and patience slowly dissipated, and killing intent occupied the bottom of his heart. He wanted to kill everyone he saw and grab them to ask, “Who killed Su
Linyu?”
However, he had yet to make a move.
Before the others could speak,
‘ Feng Nanbei! ” Su Yueqing was one step ahead of him. ” You are competing with Marquis Hantian! Why don’t you know the severity of your attacks?! ”
Xia Ji was taken aback. The Eldest Princess was obviously still biased towards him, and she instantly labeled the matter as ‘a competition without any sense of weight’.
Frost Monarch didn’t know what happened, but he said, ‘”‘ Eldest Princess, I don’t think this matter is related to the competition. There is something else that needs to be investigated. Before everything is clear, Feng Nanbei must be locked up.. ‘
