Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Shen Luoxin himself couldn't explain why he felt this way.

The details and characteristics of the little girl's body are quite normal when taken individually. But for some reason, when they are all placed on one person, or all appear at this time point, Shen Luoxin feels that before her eyes The little girl... there is something indescribably weird about her.

It was as if the little girl was standing here, wearing layers of masks, and her real face was hidden behind them, and even she couldn't tell the truth.

Shen Luoxin's sizing eyes fell on the other person's fingertips holding the corners of his clothes. After pondering for a moment, she asked, "By the way...I've been wanting to ask you before, what's your...name?"

The maid looked up at her very quickly, then lowered her head suddenly. The corner of her clothes was twisted between her fingers, and she whispered, "Slave, my name is Bai Xue..." …The slave’s mother said that on the day the slave was born, there was a heavy snowfall in Yanjing City. It just so happened that the slave’s father’s surname was Bai, so his name was Bai Xue…”

Shen Luoxin nodded casually and murmured, "Bai Xue... is a good name... popular and suitable for the occasion."

The little girl bowed her head and responded quietly, saying only, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss... My slave's father is an uneducated man. He couldn't think of a nice, meaningful name... so he could only think of something popular and suitable for the occasion..." The words For a moment, he was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe, and the corners of his clothes looked like they were about to be crushed.

The strange feeling became stronger and stronger. Shen Luoxin frowned and continued to look at it without making a sound.

The only sound in the whole room was the tapping of fingertips on the armrest, like the beating of the heart in the chest.

The atmosphere was slightly depressing.

After a long while, Shen Luoxin suddenly smiled and asked slowly, "Baixue... In this way, I have some impression. When you first came to this courtyard, did I already ask you your name? Look. My brain is burned out."

The other party nodded calmly, "Yes, yes... I also forgot... it's not an important matter..."

Shen Luoxin looked at the little girl in front of her whose body was trembling. Between the sparks of calcium carbide, a string that she had neglected for a long time suddenly caught on - yes, two days ago, this little girl had always upheld everything. It is the principle of "talk more and make more mistakes". Answer what is asked, speak in a low voice, and answer with one word, never two words. When I asked her name, the other party only answered with two words. "Snow".

His voice was low and his expression was calm, but he was not so timid.

In the past two days, after I fell ill, this maid's words... suddenly became intensive.

Whether she was kowtowing to beg for mercy, chatting about domestic matters, or asking herself the questions in a hurry at the window, it was completely different from her usual appearance. She seemed to be very scared suddenly, but her words were more... They started to get close to each other - even before this, they had not had any time to gossip. Several times, Shen Luoxin had witnessed the other party lowering his head and walking away quickly after seeing him from a distance... If not, he would not have even been able to communicate. I can't even remember a single maid's name. How come a person who is originally dull and taciturn talks more and more nonsense when he becomes more frightened and nervous? It looks like... it's trying to hide something.

Thinking like this, Shen Luoxin suddenly smiled at the other party, waved and said, "Raise your head...don't be nervous. Since you are working by my side now, although I am not a serious master, I can say a few words for you." It's always okay to protect you Ichigo."

On the opposite side, Bai Xue's hand holding the hem of clothes loosened slightly, but her head lowered further, "Thank you, thank you, miss... I will do my best to take care of you, and what happened before will never happen again. I promise!" After saying that, he swallowed.

Shen Luoxin didn't care much, waved her hand and asked with a smile, "Shangguan Chu...is it that scary?"

The other party looked up suddenly, then lowered his head quickly, shaking his head no, "Master Shangguan also cares about the girl... slave, slave, indeed, you have neglected your duty. That day, that day, Mrs. Ning Guogong came to our house, in the old lady's yard There was a shortage of manpower, and I thought I had nothing to do, so I went to the old lady’s courtyard to help. It’s my fault for neglecting the girl.”

The little maid who usually bows her head and leaves when she sees him can still take the initiative to go to the old lady's yard to help?

After a few words of conversation, Shen Luoxin already had a conclusion in her mind. She leaned back on her chair and smiled lazily, "It doesn't matter. I am a doctor myself. It's just a headache and a fever. It'll be fine if I sleep and sweat... I There is a shortage of people there, and it would be rude to neglect the Duke's wife. You are doing the right thing, you don't have to be so anxious in the future...I have never had any rules, so you don't have to be cautious and walk on thin ice when I am here."

The little maid lowered her head and nodded quietly, her hand holding the corner of her clothes loosened at some point.

Shen Luoxin watched from beginning to end, and then suddenly changed the subject, "But... I am most annoyed by those duplicitous people. I am leading this family's monthly salary, but my heart is elsewhere, and my elbows are pointing towards Looking elsewhere, not to mention that my mind is not here, maybe I will stab a few knives here... Bai Xue, you understand, right? If you meet such a person, I don't mind showing her what medical poison is. Regardless of family..."

A girl who is usually very talkative and has no temper, a girl who just says it's okay even if she is slighted. At this moment, even though the corner of her mouth is still smiling, her voice sounds like the tip of the tongue slowly running over the back alveolar, and it is a little deep and cold to the ear.

It's like a reminder and a warning.

The maid's fingertips trembled with her head lowered, and she subconsciously tried to pick at the rumpled corners of her clothes, but somehow she found nothing. Visible to the naked eye, she trembled all over and responded softly, "Yes... this slave knows."

He was as silent as a cicada, and even his breathing had been suppressed for a while, leaving only the slightest breath floating around.

One was leaning against the back of the chair, with sharp eyes but gentle expression. After a while, he smiled suddenly and waved his hands, "Look, you are nervous again... That's how you girl is. You can't say anything harsh, as if we are all eating it." You are like a tiger. You, as long as you live in peace and quiet, you will be indispensable every month. Naturally, those who punish and scold you will not fall on you, let alone drive you out. You are cautious every day, You don't feel tired, but I feel tired for you... That's all. If you keep talking, the fire on the stove outside will be extinguished. You can go down. I will rest by myself for a while. There is no need to prepare dinner. Mine, I’ll eat it in the salt-free courtyard.”
