Concubine's true colors

Chapter 246
After returning to the Shuai Mansion, Xiao Jinxuan really had a very peaceful and restful sleep in her own room in the Lisanqiao Courtyard last night.

Since she fell off the cliff, she not only spent the night in the jungle, but even though she was taken in by the old man Zhao, she never really relaxed for a moment in Zhuluo Town.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who has never been lethargic and wakes up relatively early, rarely wakes up after sleeping until mid-morning.

As soon as there was any movement in her room, Zhu Xin and Bai Shu, who had been guarding outside for a long time, immediately knocked on the door and came in to help her change and wash.

The master and servant had been away for a few days, and when they met last night, each other's eyes were red from crying. Zhuxin Baishu and Wenxin came from Yangzhou with Xiao Jinxuan, so there is no need to talk about their affection for each other.

Therefore, even though Xiao Jinxuan had been busy all day and was very sleepy, the few of them chatted until midnight yesterday before going to rest.

And what surprised Xiao Jinxuan the most last night was Chi Ling, who returned after a few months of absence. The other party was not cold-tempered and alone, but got together with their master and servant, and stayed with them until late at night. .

But now, she is only responsible for protecting her safety, and does not come to serve Chi Ling who is beside her in the morning, but now she even stands in the room in a proper manner, occasionally giving Zhuxin Baishu two people a helping hand and serving water. Basin, hand over the towel.

Although these actions are insignificant, Xiao Jinxuan can feel that Chi Ling is getting more and more integrated into the atmosphere of Lianqiaoyuan, and the relationship with her is getting closer.

After putting on a purple chrysanthemum-colored skirt with moonlight patterns, Xiao Jinxuan wanted to leave the room and pay a visit to Mrs. Shen first, but she didn't want Chi Ling to block the door and immediately knelt on the ground on one knee.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan was slightly startled, and then asked in confusion:
"Chi Ling, what are you doing, why don't you get up quickly, why are you blocking the door and kneeling on me?"

Hearing this, Chi Ling still knelt in front of the door, did not step aside, and clasped his hands into fists, then lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice:

"Miss, during Chi Ling's absence, you have had such a big change. Although you didn't pursue it, I still cannot escape the blame. So after thinking about it, Chi Ling decided to leave himself for so long. Explain it to Miss, otherwise I will not feel at ease after all."

Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help being very surprised when she heard the words, because when Chi Ling left, she also asked him where he was going, but Chi Ling said at the time that it was a private matter, and her words were evasive, so she didn't ask further.

But now Xiao Jinxuan never expected that because Chi Ling felt that she was negligent, she would actually explain everything herself, so she immediately refused and said:
"Since it's your own private matter, I'm afraid there will be many unspeakable secrets, so you don't have to say more, just get up quickly."

Chi Ling's temperament is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, ten bulls may not be able to pull back what she is sure of, so she ignored Xiao Jinxuan's dissuasion, and she actually spoke directly:
"Miss, in fact, Chi Ling came from Jianghu. In the old days, there was a Huoyamen in the martial arts. The head of this school was my father. But because of the grievances in Jianghu, my school was slaughtered. Only me and my senior brother escaped, and were captured by Prince Rui. Your Highness came to the rescue by chance."

Xiao Jinxuan was originally Chi Ling, a shadow guard trained by Zhou Xianrui, but she didn't know that the other party had such a past. Hearing that the two who survived the death were Chi Ling's brother and sister, she immediately said in a guessing voice:
"I heard that Chi Ying called your junior sister. I thought it was the name of your shadow guards. Now that I think about it, he is the fellow senior brother who escaped with you. No wonder he always talks to you in words. Quite caring."

Chi Ling knelt on the ground, nodded, and remained silent for a while before continuing:

"A month ago was the sixth memorial day for my Huoyamen to be massacred. Prince Rui has been helping secretly all these years, and has been tracking down who secretly poisoned the sect and caused my family to be ruined. Let me find my enemy, and now Chi Ling has followed the rules of the world to take revenge, and there will be no more Fire Crows in this world, and I am no longer the shadow guard of His Highness Prince Rui, from now on I will only follow Miss and be yours shadow."

When Chi Ling and Chi Ying were rescued by Zhou Xianrui, they had an agreement that Zhou Xianrui would give them a new identity and help them find their enemies.

But as a bargaining chip in an equal exchange, the two of them, brothers and sisters, have been Zhou Xianrui's shadow guards since then, and have served him.

And according to the agreement back then, as long as Chi Ling's vengeance is avenged, Zhou Xianrui will not interfere.

Now Chi Ling, who has completed this agreement, has regained her freedom, but she no longer wants to fight the sword, but decides to stay by Xiao Jinxuan's side.

It has to be said that Chi Ling's decision is inseparable from Xiao Jinxuan treating her like a relative.

The massacre of her entire family six years ago left Chi Ling with a lot of trauma, and even today she refuses to use her original name to show others.

And for a person like Xiang Chiling, as long as others give her a little warmth, it will be remembered in her heart and feel very precious.

People in the Jianghu place the most emphasis on friendship, so now Chi Ling is willing to follow Xiao Jinxuan, because she has found a sense of belonging in the Forsythia Courtyard, this feeling makes her deeply attached, and she does not want to be alone Leaving, drifting on the rivers and lakes alone and helpless.

Seeing that Chi Ling had completely opened her heart to her, Xiao Jinxuan immediately helped him to stand up with a look of sympathy on her face.

"You said what Chi Ling said today, and I have already heard it. From now on, let these unpleasant past events go with the wind. You and I are not a few years apart. Wen Xin, all of us will be your relatives in the future, so if you have any worries, you can let us bear them with you. Your martial arts are good, but after all, one's ability is limited, and you must not insist on everything alone gone."

Biting her lips tightly, Chi Ling didn't say anything, but nodded vigorously with red eyes, and backhanded Xiao Jinxuan's wrist tightly.

It's not that Chi Ling doesn't want to thank the other party now, it's just that she is afraid that she will choke up and cry before she opens her mouth.

Chi Ling was originally a taciturn person, but now she told herself in her heart that even if she risked her life in the future, she would also be loyal to Xiao Jinxuan until the moment of her death.

She comforted Chi Ling a few more words, and seeing that the other party's emotions had calmed down, Xiao Jinxuan immediately left the room, planning to visit her second aunt Shen immediately as she had originally thought.

Because Bai Shu told her last night that because of her fall off the cliff recently, Shen was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night, and she sat alone and cried during the day, and her body, which was about to be raised for half a year, also collapsed a lot. Even the cough became severe again.

Yesterday, when she came out of the Taining Courtyard, it was too dark to disturb her, so this morning, Xiao Jinxuan wanted to report to Shen that she was safe, so that the other party would not worry about her.

But as soon as she walked out of the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Jinxuan saw Jin Chuan walking towards the Forsythia Courtyard, she smiled wryly in her heart, knowing that trouble might be imminent, and she might have to delay her visit to see Mrs. Chen.

Because Bai Shu had to check Shen's pulse every day, Xiao Jinxuan immediately ordered the other party to convey it on her behalf, saying that she had nothing to worry about, and told Shen that she should not worry about it, and would visit her as soon as she was free.

After receiving these words, Bai Shu immediately rushed to the Changxin Courtyard where the Shen family lived without delay, and within a while, Jin Chuan had already arrived in front of Xiao Jinxuan.

After Wei Wei Fu greeted him, Jin Chuan showed a hint of helplessness, and then said with worry:
"Miss Jinxuan, this servant sees that you are going out. It's just that the old lady has an invitation. I'm afraid you have to go to Taining Courtyard with me again."

It has been expected for a long time that if Jin Chuan can be troubled to come over in person, it must be the old lady's side, who is going to make trouble again. Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan smiled calmly, and then asked calmly:
"Looking at my aunt's frowning expression, I'm afraid that Jinxuan will definitely be made things difficult for her. I know this well, but I don't know that my grandmother and that love are in my handsome mansion. The domineering old lady of the Bai family has come up with a good idea this time to deliberately make things difficult for me, I think my aunt must know it better than anyone else."

Jin Chuan, as Zhou Xianrui's eyeliner in the commander's mansion, apart from what Xiao Jinxuan thought, probably even Zhou Xianyu didn't know about this.

Therefore, to this day, the old lady who still regards Jin Chuan as her confidant never hides anything from her.

So if you want to know what the old madam's plan is against her, then you can definitely ask Jin Chuan. Such a good insider Xiao Jinxuan naturally doesn't want to waste it, and after knowing the other party's plan first, it will be much easier to deal with it.

While leading Xiao Jinxuan to the direction of Taining Courtyard, Jin Chuan shook his head, frowned and said:
"Hey! Miss Jinxuan really shouldn't be fighting like that last night. The old lady of the Bai family just wanted to find bad luck for you for Miss Jinyu, but in the end she won't really do anything to you. But now it's better Well, the old matriarch claimed that she was ill early in the morning, and she even pointed out that she was angry with you, so the old lady asked me to summon Miss Jinxuan, and asked you to come to the front to attend to the sick."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but sneered, and then said in a concentrated voice:

"I thought they had come up with some new idea. It turned out that they were going to pretend to be sick, put a bad name on my head, and use the excuse of sickness to get me close and order me around, trying to make me look like a servant. Yes, serving and serving them, such an unsightly method, it's really fortunate that they can think of it."

Seeing that Jin Chuan was worried and still wanted to persuade herself, Xiao Jinxuan immediately waved her hand to signal the other party not to say any more, then a sly look flashed in her eyes, and then she said with a light smile:

"Since they want to play tricks and pretend to be sick, I'll just go and have a look. Auntie, you don't have to persuade me. In fact, even if I make more concessions, my grandmother and sister-in-law have long regarded me as a thorn in their side. If they really give in, they will probably deal with me even harder. If that is the case, then I will continue to deal with them. No matter what tricks they want to play, I, Xiao Jinxuan, will accompany them to the end. I want to see who we are with each other. I can have the last laugh.”
