Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 184 One Step Closer to Each Other

Shen Xinniang's eyes were absent-minded for a moment, but she soon became clear, "What kind of benevolent, righteous, and trustworthy person would turn away from her own sect and join another's sect? Such five guardians will certainly not be unbreakable."

Fang Yan nodded slowly, "Break his left arm and right arm, Yu Tai will definitely feel pain."

"Thank you." Shen Xinniang said softly, raising the booklet in her hand.

"What do you mean?" Fang Yan looked at her.

"It just means thank you."

"Thank me? Then take the matter to yourself? Are you Shen Xin or Mu Ling?" Fang Yan leaned forward, approached her, and asked while looking into her eyes.

"What's the difference?" Shen Xinniang looked back at him.

"If you are Shen Xin, then you have nothing to do with Lingshan. You have no right to exclude me from matters of revenge. You are Mu Ling, the direct disciple of the master. You grew up with me. I promise The person who is going to marry is not qualified to take care of everything alone." Fang Yan articulated his words clearly, and approached her, speaking with a sense of oppression.

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and said slowly, "You think too much, I just thank you, I don't mean to exclude you."

Fang Yan looked at her with hooked lips, "Really?"

"It turns out that the prince will also have times when the shadow of a snake bows and bows." Shen Xinniang's tone was light.

He raised his hand and put it on her hand, as if no matter what the weather was, her hand was always a little cold, "I don't like you being polite to me, it always makes me feel alienated, like an outsider. You should remember clearly , whether you are Mu Ling or Shen Xin, I am the closest person to you."

Shen Xinniang raised her eyes to look at him, there was no smile on his handsome face, and his good-looking brows and eyes were full of serious expressions.

"It's just a thank you..."

"Isn't that polite?" Fang Yan looked at her, "When do the closest people need politeness?"

Shen Xinniang sighed softly, looking at his face, the beautiful eyebrows are the most familiar look in memory, she couldn't help raising her hand to gently caress the tip of his eyebrows, her fingertips were soft, with a slight coolness, he couldn't help but Be fascinated.

"I see, give me some time." She said slowly.

The memory is back, and the scars in the memory are still there. Some things don’t mean that they are explained clearly, and if they are clear, they can be regarded as never happening.

From the childhood sweetheart to the separation of Lao and Yan, even though he now knows that he had no choice back then, he still can't let go.

Fang Yan looked at her silently, and nodded slowly. She was willing to move there and live in the main courtyard, which was already a good start, and he shouldn't be more demanding.

Su Yi stumbled and ran on the street, her footsteps seemed to be chased by wolves, although her chest was almost bursting due to the rapid running, her throat was on fire, and she couldn't breathe, her condition urgently needed to stop and rest, but Her pace did not dare to slow down at all.

The night was getting darker and thicker, and there were no pedestrians on the street, only she was holding a thin knife, staggering and running like a ghost in the dark night.

"Who?" The night watchman behind him shouted.

When Su Yi heard this, she was startled, thinking it was someone from Prince Qi's mansion chasing her out, and ran even faster in a hurry.

The sound of chasing footsteps behind her was getting closer, and her thighs were sore and painful, as if it was no longer her own, "I can't run anymore...I can't run anymore..."

Can't stop, can't stop... If you are caught back, you will die, not a quick death, but a tortured one who can't live without asking for death... She shouldn't be caught back...

Su Yi ran desperately, but she tripped over something, she was too tired, her body couldn't maintain her balance, she staggered and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

It's over...you're bound to die...

"Who? Why are you running wildly on the street in the middle of the night?" Footsteps behind him caught up, and majestic reprimands sounded above their heads.

Su Yi, who was lying on the ground with a pale complexion, was dragged up, she was panting, her throat was so hoarse that she couldn't speak.

"The murder weapon! Blood!" The night watchman pointed at her bloody hand and shouted.

"Take her back!" The leading soldier frowned and waved.

Hearing this, Su Yi raised her heavy eyelids, looked at the military uniform on the person in front of her, and suddenly realized that the person chasing her was not someone from the Qi Palace.She was so tired that she didn't have any strength left, but her head was spinning rapidly.

"I, I'm the servant girl in Uncle Guo's mansion." Su Yi took a breath and said with difficulty.

The soldier was taken aback when he heard the words, and frowned at her, "Whose maid?"

"The servant girl in the uncle Guo's mansion, Yu's mansion!" Su Yi spoke too hastily, and couldn't help coughing again and again.

"Uncle Yu Guo..." The soldier's eyes rolled, "We must first let Mr. Fu Yin know before we can make a decision."

The people around the soldier listened to him and said something in a low voice.

The soldier waved his hand to let Su Yi go, and lowered his eyes to look at her carefully, "Are you really the servant girl of Uncle Yu's house?"

Su Yi nodded repeatedly.

"Then why are you wandering alone in the street in the middle of the night?" asked the soldier.

Su Yi lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "I, I angered my aunt, and my aunt wanted my life. I managed to escape, but after escaping, I found that the capital is so big that there is no place for a weak woman like me .There are a lot of officials, please send me back to my uncle’s mansion, right? Even if I am punished, I will admit it.”

The soldier bent over to look at her carefully, straightened up and thought for a moment, then waved the others away, "Go and patrol elsewhere."

After a while, only the leading soldier and the soldiers beside him were left standing in front of Su Yi.

"If you lie to me, you should think about your fate." The soldier said coldly.

Su Yi shook her head again and again, "Don't dare to lie to the official!"

"Take it away!" The soldier raised his chin towards the soldier.

The soldier snatched the thin knife from Su Yi's hand, and dragged her up again.

Su Yi had no strength at all, almost being dragged away by the soldiers.Turning around a few lanes, the night was dark and cold, the moon was already westward, and the three stopped at the corner gate of a big family.

The soldier stepped forward and knocked on the door gently.After waiting for a long time, a voice came from the door, "It's midnight, who is it?"

"The night watchman in the yamen met a maid who was lost in the mansion, and sent it back to the mansion." The soldier said outside.

Su Yi's heart was pounding.For a wealthy family, it is not uncommon for a maid to lose her maidservant, as she will meet them more or less often.The concierge at the corner door wouldn't immediately deny it, would he?She kept praying in her heart, layer after layer of sweat broke out on her back, and she couldn't even care about the pain in her hands at the moment.

There was a creaking sound, and light came out from the corner door. The porter poked his head out and looked out. He saw the uniform on the soldier's body, rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Excuse me, sir, which courtyard maid So stupid, lost again?"

The soldier pushed Su Yi forward, the light from the corner door just fell on Su Yi's face.

The concierge was slightly taken aback, squinting his eyes to look carefully.

Su Yi seemed to hear the sound of a drum beating in her heart, rumbling.

She couldn't help but lower her head, lest the concierge say something that would leave her with no way out.

"Is it the servant girl in the uncle's mansion?" asked the soldier from the side.

The concierge clicked his tongue, "Although it looks unfamiliar, the maids in the inner courtyard are not familiar with the maids in the outer courtyard. I haven't heard of anyone who dares to pretend to be a maid in the uncle's mansion! Since she said so, it must be No mistake, thank you both for sending it back!"

A small porter, with a high profile in front of the two soldiers, opened the corner door wider, "Come in, who is the stupid girl in front of the master?"

Su Yi lowered her head and didn't make a sound, she slid into the corner door sideways, the doorman didn't know whether it was intentional or not, just when she entered the door sideways, he raised his elbow and rubbed past her chest.

Su Yi's pale face suddenly burned hot, and his heart felt ashamed and ashamed.

"Thank you for your hard work!" The concierge cupped his hands, "I must tell my housekeeper."

The concierge tried to close the door without rewarding him.

The soldier took a step forward, "It's better to report to the butler now, if it's not from the uncle Guo's house, we can take it back!"

The concierge was slightly taken aback, his lowered eyes came to understand, he reached into his bosom, and took out a purse, "I've never heard of anyone daring to impersonate, don't worry, if it's not, I won't implicate you, work hard, take care Let's drink and eat."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed the purse into the hands of the soldiers.

The soldier squeezed his purse, then smiled and cupped his hands, and turned away with the soldiers.

The corner door closed behind her, Su Yi didn't know whether she should breathe a sigh of relief, or be more nervous, could it be that she had just left the dragon pond and entered the tiger's den again?
"Which courtyard?" the porter asked coldly.

Su Yi knelt down, "Please let me see the butler, I have something urgent to report!"

The concierge was stunned for a moment, and squinted at her carefully, "You can't really be a maid in Uncle Guo's house, are you?"

"Please take me to the housekeeper, the housekeeper will understand!" Su Yi said anxiously, "I have something important to report!"

The porter raised his foot and kicked Su Yi's shoulder, "What are you, the housekeeper can see whoever wants to see? Where did you come from? Why do you want to pretend to be a maid in the uncle's house?"

"If you delay Uncle Guo's important matter, can you take responsibility? As I said, I have something important to report!" Su Yi got up from the ground with the courage she didn't know where she came from, "Take me to the housekeeper, It will definitely not implicate you, but if you do not report the knowledge, not only the housekeeper will not be able to forgive you, but also the uncle Guo will not be able to forgive you!"

The concierge was intimidated by her staring and stern voice, and he opened his mouth for a long time before closing it. It's just a little maid, who dared to shout so loudly at the door, he must have something to rely on, right?It's fine if there's nothing wrong, but if she's telling the truth, if she really has something important to do and is delayed by herself, wouldn't it be really hard to walk around!

"You wait here! Si'er, come out and watch her! Don't let her run away!" The porter shouted inward.

A half-grown boy rubbed his eyes and walked out of the door, staring at Su Yi.

The porter quickly ran towards the mansion.

After a delay, when Su Yi was brought to the housekeeper, it was almost dawn.Su Yi had a pale face. She was frightened first, then ran for her life, was chased by night watchmen, and then went to Yu's house. Going back and forth almost exhausted her energy. When she saw the majestic housekeeper of Yu's house, she spoke Said: "Mama Su is dead..."

After speaking, his body softened and he fell down.
