Although she was in Zhuangzi, she hadn't lived here for more than half a year. On the first day, Huarong was used to sleeping in her own bed. She suddenly felt unusually thirsty in the middle of the night.
She quietly got up and went out to drink water.
She didn't wake up Shuxiu. Naturally, Yue Hanqing, who was pretending to be asleep, also pretended to be asleep.
She didn't have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night to drink water. She didn't even drink water before going to bed because her eyes would be swollen.
Therefore, there was only overnight tea on the rosewood table outside the door. There was no water.
Fortunately, it was his family's manor and he was familiar with the place. Hua Rong arrived in no time.
After drinking water, she felt that the moon was in the middle of the sky. It was very beautiful. She looked up.
Suddenly, she rubbed her eyes. A shadow flashed and fell into the hot spring courtyard. Her heart was pounding.
Her rationality told her that she might die if she went there alone.
"Shuxiu, Shuxiu!" She hurried back to wake Shuxiu up.
"Miss, why are you up?" Shuxiu asked in a daze. She rubbed her eyes. "Can't sleep? Then I'll get up to accompany you. "
"Go and find someone. There's a thief in our hot spring courtyard." Huarong tried to lower her voice so that Yue Hanqing couldn't hear her.
Thief? Shuxiu woke up instantly. She got up and ran out. Soon, she came back with Zhu Liu and several servants. They all had knives in their hands.
"Let's go and see." Knives emboldened people. Huarong also took a dagger and tied it to her waist. She led the servants straight to the hot spring courtyard.
"Miss, there's nothing." Zhu Liu reported after looking around.
"Impossible. I saw someone fall in. How can there be nothing? Look carefully. "
After looking around a few more times, everyone came back to report, "Miss, there's still nothing."
"Could it be in the water?"
"Miss, we've also looked in the water."
Huarong was still unwilling to give up, but her people would never lie to her. Although she was unwilling, she still let her go to rest.
When the hot spring courtyard finally quieted down, Xi Shi slowly came out of the water. He took a deep breath and wiped the water droplets off his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw Huarong staring at him.
Almost instinctively, she shot the silver needle in her hand. Zhu Liu immediately pulled Huarong aside, but Xi Shi's silver needle was too fast. He was hit by the needle and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Shuxiu trembled as she stood in front of Huarong. "You're not allowed to hurt my lady!"
Huarong didn't expect that it was Xi Shi who had fallen into the courtyard. She had wanted to leave just now, but that figure was so clear that she couldn't doubt herself.
However, she couldn't find him anywhere. She could only bet that the person was still in the water. Humans had to breathe. He couldn't hide in the water forever.
She didn't expect that she would be right. However, what she didn't expect was that Zhu Liu wouldn't be able to withstand one move from him. This was a little awkward.
Yes, her expression was awkward at this time.
"Xi Shi? Why are you here? "After the awkwardness, Huarong decided to take another gamble.
Life, after all, was a gamble.
The water in the hot spring was deep and shallow. The place where Xi Shi was standing was not very deep. The water only reached his waist. Most of his body was immersed in the water, revealing his chest muscles.
He didn't answer Huarong's question. He just calmly adjusted his black underwear. "Miss Gu, don't you blush when you see a man taking a bath?"
After saying this, Shuxiu immediately covered her eyes and wanted to cover Huarong's.
Huarong slapped her hand away and walked a few steps toward Xi Shi, looking down at him.
"You sneaked into my Zhuangzi in the middle of the night and used my hot spring. I haven't punished you yet. I guess you don't want others to know that you came to my hot spring to take a bath in the middle of the night, right? Since you don't want others to know, I'll just look at it. But it's useless. What? Do you dare to ask me to take responsibility? "
Xi Shi was stunned. He didn't expect to hear such words that he had never heard before. A woman taking responsibility? Interesting.
He smiled softly. In an instant, the whole hot spring courtyard seemed to be brightened by his smile, and the moonlight became brighter.
Huarong inexplicably thought of the word 'seductive'. Wasn't that the seductive smile of a seductive woman?
Just as she was stunned for a moment, Xi Shi floated up from the water, causing the water in the pool to ripple. The next moment, he appeared in front of Huarong. The two of them were close to each other. Huarong reached out to pull out the dagger, but she wasn't as fast as Xi Shi. She only felt an arm around her slender waist.
"Plop." Before Shuxiu could react, Huarong had already been brought into the water by Xi Shi.
"Little …" Before she could say the word 'sister', silver needles hit her. She fell down with her eyes wide open and instantly fell into a deep sleep like Zhu Liu. Huarong's coat was firmly on her body.
Although Huarong knew how to swim, it was only for entertainment. He was a hundred times worse than those professional swimmers who participated in competitions.
He didn't know martial arts either. He knew how to defend himself, but in front of Xi Shi, he was 300 times worse than Zhang Sanfeng. It could be said that he had no power to fight back.
She was roughly pressed into the water by Xi Shi and drank several mouthfuls of water. When she was lifted up, she coughed violently.
"If you want to kill me, just do it. If I frown, I'm not a member of the Gu family. How can I be a hero when I torture a weak woman?" She coughed so hard that her throat was burning. It took a long time for her to speak.
Xi Shi looked at her and suddenly leaned over. Their faces were very close. "So you're scared too. I thought you wouldn't be."
"I'm scared. Why wouldn't I be? Would you let me go if I was scared? Alas, I can only blame myself for living too comfortably these years. I forgot the ancient saying that caution is the parent of safety. "
"A doctor saves people and helps the world by practicing medicine." Xi Shi stepped back and landed lightly on the edge of the jade platform. "I only kill people who deserve to be killed."
Huarong was stunned by his pretentious words. Before he could say anything, he floated away like an immortal in Buddha Mountain, coming and going without a trace.
It took a lot of effort to wake Shuxiu and Zhu Liu up. When he looked up, dawn had broken. The whole night had passed. Huarong was sleepy. Fortunately, Yue Hanqing didn't get up early.
Zhu Liu felt guilty. After he woke up, he searched the hot spring courtyard. When Huarong woke up, he came over with a piece of gauze. "Miss, I deserve to die. I couldn't beat an injured person."
Huarong turned over the gauze. There was a large amount of blood on it. Although it had been washed away by water, there was still a lot of blood left. It could be seen that a lot of blood had flowed. The blood had coagulated on the gauze. If no one rubbed it, the blood wouldn't be diluted in a short time.
"Injured again? His chest was injured last time. Does he want to die? "Huarong said to himself.
"Miss, what should we do?" Zhu Liu asked, "Should we tell Sir?"
"Okay, don't make it public. Otherwise, you'll lose your lives. We're just ordinary people. As long as we don't spread it around, we'll be fine. Remember, no one can tell anyone about what happened last night."
She had thought about it. If he wanted to kill them, Xi Shi would have done it long ago. For him, it was just a piece of cake.
After recuperating, Huarong was ready to take Yue Hanqing for a stroll nearby. He told her, "Seventh Sister-in-law, look, these are all the properties of the Gu family."
Yue Hanqing was amused by his clever look. Perhaps, it wouldn't be bad to live in such a family.
"Miss, don't look. It's inauspicious." Huarong turned around and was about to introduce the paddy field on the left. Shuxiu covered Huarong's eyes.
Huarong never believed in such nonsense as auspicious or inauspicious. In her opinion, everything depended on human effort. There was no such thing as auspicious or inauspicious.
She pushed Shuxiu's hand away and saw someone carrying a coffin on the left side of the road.
"Isn't it just someone buying a coffin? What's so inauspicious about it? People die. This is the principle of reincarnation. "Huarong didn't care at all.
"Miss, it's inauspicious." Shuxiu was anxious.
As they spoke, the coffin suddenly fell to the ground. The wooden frame carrying the coffin broke. Soon, a man who looked like a servant came over and bowed respectfully. "Sorry to disturb you, Miss. Can you give me a few wooden sticks? I'm from the Dong family in Jinling. "
"Dong family? Which Dong family? "Huarong didn't know why, but she thought of Dong Zhongming, the manager of the Department of Shipbuilding in the new city, and asked casually.
The servant had a favor to ask, so he answered politely. "Miss, I'm the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works. I know the Department of Shipbuilding."
Generally speaking, the six ministries were more familiar with the Department of Shipbuilding than the Department of Shipbuilding. He was afraid that Huarong didn't know where the Department of Shipbuilding was, so he reported to the Ministry of Works.
Huarong was surprised. "So it's Dong Daren's family. Since it's Dong Daren's family, Zhu Liu, take him to get it."
"Thank you, Miss." The servant bowed and left.
After he left, Huarong said, "Dong Zhongming had just been transferred to the Department of Shipbuilding in the Feichao City. Then something happened to his family. I don't know who passed away."
"I don't think it's an old person. Generally, when an old person reaches a certain age, he or she will have all the necessities prepared. There's no need to buy a coffin from a coffin shop." Yue Hanqing answered.
