In troubled times, the daughter-in-law returns

Chapter 10 Privileges
"But..." A servant girl raised her head, wanting to express her disagreement.

But when he met Fendie's cold eyes, he fell silent again.

Fan Die pointedly said: "At least, don't disobey in person, understand?"

All the maids understood.

Fendie nodded in satisfaction, and then went out to look for Lan Kexin.

Lan Kexin is very good at cooking, especially good at various soups.At this moment, she was boiling chicken soup in one pot, and stewed blood swallows in the other pot.

The chicken soup takes a long time, so this is to be used for Sikong Ye's breakfast tomorrow morning. It is already late, and the blood swallow has the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness, and can also calm the nerves. It is most suitable for eating at night.

No matter how busy Sikong Ye was, after summoning the soldiers from the army, it was time for him to rest, and it was not suitable to eat too much greasy food.

When Fen Die came in, Lan Kexin was ready to bring out the stew pot. Seeing this, Fen Die hurried forward, took a wet cloth to rest her hand, and put the stew pot out on the tray, "Girl, let's go over there."

Lan Kexin tidied up her dress and went first.

After leaving the kitchen, I looked up and saw that the sky was full of stars again, and the color of the sky seemed to be more pure.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped down the steps and headed towards Sikong Ye's study.

Of course, Lan Kexin lives in the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, while Sikong Ye handles official duties in the outer courtyard.

Originally, the exchanges between the inner and outer courts were strictly defined. Except for the city master and the young city master, no children even three feet tall were allowed to step into the inner court without permission; and the female family members of the inner court were not allowed to enter without permission. outer courtyard.

But Lan Kexin was an exception. She could enter and exit the inner courtyard at any time, and could enter Sikong Ye's courtyard without permission. Except that she could not be within three steps of Sikong Ye, she even had more privileges than the wife of the city lord.

Even though it was very late, Lan Kexin arrived outside Sikongye's Anlan courtyard without any hindrance. The guards at the gate saluted her respectfully and bowed their heads when they saw her.

Even knowing that they dare not look up at her, Lan Kexin smiled at them kindly and said "hard work".

Gu An was standing guard in the courtyard. When he saw Lan Kexin approaching, he bowed slightly and said softly, "Miss Lan came just in time. The young city lord has just finished handling chores and is a little tired."

Lan Kexin turned around and took the tray from Fendie, and said in a low voice, "This is the blood swallow that I stewed for Brother Ye..."

Gu An moved out of the way, Lan Kexin walked slowly to the door of the study, handed the tray to one hand, hesitated for a moment, and then raised her hand to knock on the door.

After getting permission, she went in full of apprehension, closed the door with her backhand, and walked forward slowly until she came to the spacious study room, only to see Sikong Ye leaning tiredly on the back of the chair, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Maybe because there are no outsiders, there is no need to pretend, so he looks a bit fragile.

Lan Kexin blinked her eyes, and took a closer look. Sikong Ye was already affectionate and cold, so the fragility was probably imagined by herself, right?

Even with his eyes closed, Sikong Ye felt indifferent.

"Ye...Brother Ye," Lan Kexin licked her lips, her voice trembling slightly, "You...are you blaming me?"

Sikong Ye didn't even open his eyes, he reached out and tapped on the table, "Put it down, get out."

Lan Kexin wanted to say something, but Sikong Ye was filled with rejection, her expression darkened, she put down the tray, told him softly to eat while it was hot, and walked out step by step.

The moment she stepped out of the threshold of the study, Sikong Ye suddenly opened his eyes, there was no trace of emotion in the dark pupils, but if one looked carefully, one could see the pain covered by the darkness.

He has waited for nine years, is he going to wait another nine years?Life is short, how many nine years can there be?
What's more, can he afford to wait, can Qingqing afford to wait?The longer the soul is separated from the body, the weaker it will be.

After a long time, the steaming Xueyan on the table was so cold that there was no warmth at all.

Sikong Ye stood up, didn't even look at the stewing pot, left the study, and went straight to Jinxiudui, it was the first time to go there in the middle of the night, but since it's the favored outer room...

I don't know how many people are staring outside. It is necessary to do this.

Sikong Ye went straight to Mu Xue's room and pried open the door to enter.

It was the time when the third watch was over and the fourth watch was about to pass. Mu Xue had already fallen asleep, but she was always alert. She was already awake when Sikong Ye came to the door. Ready to meet the enemy.

Just as Sikong Ye closed the door behind his back, Mu Xue raised her hand, and a throwing knife pierced through the air.

Sikong Ye raised his hand and grabbed the red silk tied on the handle of the flying knife, and couldn't help but praise: "It's pretty alert."

Mu Xue yawned, and rolled up her loose pajamas, "Young City Master doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

"Stealing incense and stealing jade naturally comes at night." Sikong Ye took off his coat while talking, and threw it on the hanger.Only today did he realize that the aura of this woman was somewhat similar to that of Xiao Yunqing back then.

Facing Lan Kexin, he was really uncomfortable, today's ceremony... still failed.

Mu Xue put on the folded clothes by the pillow as quickly as possible, and then opened the curtain, "Young city master, why are you being so flirtatious as you said? It's not like everyone doesn't know the basics, why are you so hypocritical? You want to come to sleep Bed, I'll just change to another room."

Just as the two passed by, Sikong Ye reached out and grabbed her wrist, and with a backhand throw, Mu Xue returned to the bed involuntarily.Her face turned black, "Young City Master, what do you mean?"

Sikongye stretched out his hand and pushed, and Mu Xue fell on the bed face up, "Sleep!" Sikongye only gave her one word, then closed his mouth tightly, pulled over a chair, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

Mu Xue blinked, a little puzzled, this young city owner probably has something wrong with his head, right?Come here so late, just to meditate in your own room?
She thought for a while and couldn't figure it out, so she really lay down and went to sleep.

After a long time, Sikong Ye slowly opened his eyes, and began to trace Mu Xue's figure through the thick curtain.If Qingqing can live to this age, she will probably be as beautiful as her, right?No, it should be more beautiful than her.

Even though she was separated by the curtain, Mu Xue could still feel those two scorching gazes, and her back was tense. Although the information she got was that Sikong Ye couldn't get close to women, who knew how true the news was? real?Maybe it's just a smoke invented by Sikong Ye himself, if he suddenly becomes wild...

Even though she was ready for revenge at all costs, at this moment, Mu Xue still felt a little tingly.

After one shift, Sikong Ye kept his posture unchanged, when he heard a cock crowing outside, he put his legs down on the chair, stood up straight, shook his clothes, turned and left.
