In the warm spring, Tiandu cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
The stone path was covered with pink petals. Stepping on it was like stepping on a sea of pink flowers. Under the illumination of the bright and beautiful sunlight, it emitted a beautiful and dreamy pale yellow halo.
However, there was no time to appreciate such a beautiful scene.
Cui Xiaoxin walked quickly with a few maids under the guidance of the manservant. She was very worried that the guards at the door were no match for them and really let people break into her private territory.
If the Cui family was at the peak of its power, how could there be such a worry?
At that time, others knew that this cherry blossom building was the Cui family's yard. Not to mention avoiding it, at least when passing by, they couldn't help but lighten their footsteps.
Now the Cui family was down and out. Her grandfather had abolished his martial arts. Most of the men were exiled to the frontier … Who would pay attention to a group of relatives and family members of a criminal official?
Cui Xiaoxin knew that the concubine of his distant uncle had already gotten involved with a hedonistic young master of a powerful family in the city. That distant uncle of his had probably just been sent to his place of exile not long ago.
Moreover, there were many family grudges in the Assorted Courtyard. When a group of women who had left their husbands gathered together, their mouths suddenly became fragmented. The living were said to be dead, and the dead were said to be smelly. After passing through the mouths of three or five people, it would cause a conflict.
Although his grandfather's prestige still existed, the family had gone through this calamity, and his exquisite cultivation had completely dissipated. Regardless of whether it was his confidence or his spirit, they were not very good. This made him very tired of these trivial matters, so he simply did not care about it. He actually invited two monks to his home to study Buddhism.
Cui Xiaoxin knew that what he learned was not Buddhism, but to let go.
There was still an obsession in his heart!
Because the matter of her sister-in-law was widely spread in a certain circle in Tiandu City, many playboys of Tiandu City went to the entrance of the Assorted Courtyard.
Here lived the women of the Cui family. In the past, they could only look at them from a distance and not blaspheme them, but now they fell into the mortal world and became the playthings of some people … What if they also found a chance to get intimate with them?
Cui Xiaoxin was arranged by her grandfather to live in this cherry blossom building. First, it was to keep her away from trouble and let her read and write with peace of mind. This was naturally what Cui Xiaoxin wanted.
However, trouble also came — — Because Cui Xiaoxin was famous, as one of the three bright moons of Tiandu, the other two bright moons Song Chenxi and Lu Qiji had left Tiandu, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
Thus, Cui Xiaoxin alone attracted the attention of all the lechers in Tiandu.
Every day, there were countless people who wandered around the Cherry Blossom Little House or visited it openly, whether they were sincere or not.
Of course, it was the first time that a manservant came to report that someone had barged in.
"Could it be that they've lost their patience?" Cui Xiaoxin knew that if she didn't have strong external protection and a strong shoulder to rely on, those "men" who yearned for her but couldn't get it would eventually lose their patience and use forceful methods.
However, Cui Xiaoxin did not expect this day to come so soon.
Before he reached the entrance of the small garden, he heard the sound of an intense argument.
"I said you can't go in, this is a private residence — — You can't enter unless you're invited — —"
"I tell you, this is the place where the young lady of the Cui family lives — — Go out and inquire about the identity of the Cui family — — Don't look for trouble — —"
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't stand at the door — — You're affecting our work — —"
※ ※ ※
These were the voices of the guards of the Cherry Blossom Courtyard.
Although the Cui family was now in such dire straits, there were still necessary guards to protect the family. During the heyday of the Cui family, there were countless masters of martial arts in the family. After the collapse of the Cui family, those masters were either dead or injured, and most of the living left. Who would still want to work for such a family?
Although such a guard might not be of much use in the face of true danger, he could at least block those lechers with ill intentions.
However, what made Cui Xiaoxin quite puzzled was why she only heard the voices of her own guards, but did not hear the voice of the intruder?
The manservant said that someone had broken in, and Cui Xiaoxin thought it was a young master of some family who came to the Cherry Blossom Courtyard with a group of servants to fight and make trouble … — — Young Master looked a bit gentle?
"I've long heard of Miss Xiaoxin's good name, so I came from afar just to see you …" A clear and thin man's voice came over.
Cui Xiaoxin thought, This should be the voice of that "Young Master," right?
"No … Our Miss Xiaoxin doesn't see anyone. There are a lot of people who come to visit this door every day, but Miss Xiaoxin has never seen anyone … Hurry up and leave … "
"I won't leave without seeing Miss Xiaoxin." The man's voice was gentle, but extremely domineering, giving a sense that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
"What's the matter with you? We have already said that Miss Xiaoxin does not see strangers or strange men — — Let's not talk about you, many famous young masters of Tiandu city have come to visit, but they were all turned away by our Miss Xiaoxin — — You should leave quickly — — "
"I said, I won't leave without seeing Miss Xiaoxin."
"You … Are you done yet?" The captain of the guards Zhou Xiang could not stand the character of this young master.
You could say that he was tough, but he was very polite. He had been standing there waiting to see Miss Xiaoxin.
But, you could say that he was polite, but he was also very rude and unreasonable … He had said it eight hundred times, Miss Xiaoxin was not free, Miss Xiaoxin did not want to see anyone. He still stood there and did not leave, looking as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
"I said, I won't leave without seeing Miss Xiaoxin." The man's voice was soft, neither too fast nor too slow, but more domineering than before.
"You want the brothers to drive people away … I'm telling you, don't force us to fight …"

"What's going on?" Cui Xiaoxin stood at the entrance of the Cherry Blossom Villa and asked aloud.
"Miss …" When Zhou Xiang saw Cui Xiaoxin standing behind him, he hurriedly bowed to Cui Xiaoxin.
The other guards who were ready to fight also immediately saluted. In the face of this delicate little master, they did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent.
"Miss Xiaoxin …" The young man in a black shirt looked over with a charming smile on his face.
This was an extremely handsome young master, who looked like the transformed Li Muyang.
Because both of their cheeks were flawless, they looked as perfect as flowers.
However, the difference was that Li Muyang's face looked gentler and more approachable.
Although this young master in black shirt was smiling, and his smile looked very good, Cui Xiaoxin still felt a sense of coldness and alienation that kept people at a distance …
He was smiling!
But that smile was like the joy of seeing his favorite prey!
"Prey?" Cui Xiaoxin was startled and looked warily at the man who looked more beautiful than the cherry blossoms, standing under the huge ghost-faced sakura tree at the door.
"Who are you?" Cui Xiaoxin asked aloud.
"Miss, he said he wanted to see you … I asked him what his name was, but he didn't say. I asked him where he came from, but he refused to say … Do you think we can let such a person see Miss? "Zhou Xiang reported.
"But he refused to leave when we chased him away. If he doesn't leave, we'll have to use force …" This sentence was to shirk responsibility. Any man would not want to show his incompetence in front of a woman like Cui Xiaoxin.
"I came in a hurry and haven't thought of a name … But, I don't think Miss Xiaoxin will mind?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know you." Cui Xiaoxin turned to leave after saying that.
She felt fear. It was an aura that automatically emanated from her senses. It was as if she had met a poisonous snake. Cui Xiaoxin was most afraid of such mollusks.
"Miss Xiaoxin … A guest has come from afar, how can you not invite him in for a cup of flower tea? That's not the way to treat a guest. " The man in black was still standing at the door, looking at Cui Xiaoxin's slender back with a smile.
Cui Xiaoxin walked faster and faster, as if she was flying.
The longer she stayed with this man, the more she felt his coldness, and the sudden fear in the bottom of her heart kept intensifying.
Her blood froze, but her heartbeat sped up.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
※ ※ ※
Cui Xiaoxin felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
"It seems that Miss Xiaoxin doesn't welcome me." The man in black said with a smile.
"Of course you're not welcome. Leave quickly … Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." Zhou Xiang said fiercely when he saw that the man was still pestering him.
"Noisy!"
The man in black glanced at Zhou Xiang, and Zhou Xiang's body withered instantly. There was no blood or flesh, and all that was left was skin and bones.
It looked like a mummy with its eyes wide open!
