After a few more days on the road, they finally arrived at the Liu Mansion. Liu Xingfeng took Ling Yuan and Gu's sister and brother to see Mengzhu Liu and Mrs. Liu, while Jiang Rui, Ningxiang and a group of guards arranged to rest.

Ningxiang looked a little nervous, although she was not very obvious, she walked around the house unconsciously.

"What's wrong with sister Ningxiang? Are you worried about the owner?" Jiang Rui asked.

She was sorting her own clothes at this time. Although they were guests, they were only subordinates of Mingshan Villa. Therefore, when the Liu Mansion made arrangements, they were arranged in the same room.

"I..." Ningxiang hesitated for a while, then said with a bitter smile, "I'm worried about letting me serve Master Gu again for a while."

"Probably not," Jiang Rui said. "The situation now is different from that of Mingshan Villa before. Gu's family is a cousin of the Liu family. Miss Gu and Master Gu came to the Liu Mansion. Naturally, there is a maidservant from the mansion to wait on us. People from Mingshanzhuang."

Ningxiang frowned and sighed, "Oh, don't you know, I heard Miss Gu talking with Young Master Gu before, and I knew why Young Master Gu targeted me so much. It turned out that Miss Gu liked Liu Shaoxia, who had been with me before. After saying a few jokes, he wanted to stand up for her sister and embarrass me everywhere. I guess he asked you to serve me by name. It was also because of this. If he hasn't calmed down yet, he must have thoughts to toss us again."

Jiang Rui hadn't considered this issue before. He only thought that the bear child was really delicate and wanted someone to serve meals on the way, so he randomly named her name, but he didn't expect that there was a hidden secret in it. But even if she knew it, she wouldn't care, no matter what he took her with, as long as the result is good for her.

"Little Young Master Gu is too overbearing." She frowned.

Who made us just subordinates. Ningxiang hid these words in her heart and didn't say it. Her gaze flicked over the new jewelry on Jiang Rui's ears and hair. Those had only appeared in the past few days. She guessed it should be the owner's handwriting.

Ningxiang had never seen the owner of a woman who had been affectionate, but looking at these days, she felt that he should have some affection for Sanniang. This made her feel a little bit envious, envious of her good luck, and a touch of sourness, which was a little bit sour in her own situation.

The two had just sorted out their clothes, and someone from the Liu Mansion came to pass on a message saying that they had re-arranged a place for Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui and Ningxiang glanced at each other, and both thought that Ling Yuan should let her move over.

Ningxiang twitched the corner of her mouth, "Go ahead, don't let the owner wait long."

The Liu family's servants showed Jiang Rui the way, and as expected he led to a gorgeous courtyard. It was much better than the place where they had stayed before, and Ling Yuan was already inside.

She thanked the person who led the way, raised her leg and stepped into the hospital, "The owner."

Ling Yuan was playing chess with himself, watching her come in, nodded, and motioned to sit on the opposite side, "Are you tired?"

"No, I've been sitting in the carriage and didn't do much work. Has the owner seen Meng Liu?"

"Well, I've seen it before." When she asked, Ling Yuan suddenly wanted to know. She didn't know the purpose of this trip, so she asked, "Do you know why we visited Liu Mansion?"

Jiang Rui said: "I heard from the guards that it has something to do with the magic sect. The people in black were also the magic sect last time."

"Yes, it has something to do with the Demon Cult. Recently, the Demon Cult has acted arrogantly. It is only a matter of time before the righteous attack on the Demon Cult. Are you afraid?" Ling Yuan looked at her with a smile.

Jiang Rui nodded, "I'm not afraid it's fake, but if I really want to fight, I can't help. I can only cook my meal, let the owner eat more, and have the strength to fight the magic sect."

Ling Yuan laughed as if he heard something interesting.

Looking at his expression, Jiang Rui didn't laugh at his lack of ambition, but seemed to be really happy with the answer.

"You are right." His hand crossed the chessboard and touched her earlobe, where she was wearing a pair of lily of the valley earrings.

This is the first time the two have touched. His fingers are very warm, but Jiang Rui's earlobes are slightly cold. Therefore, after encountering, neither side can ignore that touch.

Fortunately, he took it back with only one touch, still with a gentle smile on his face, as if he hadn't done anything to a young girl before, and his expression was very natural.

"Everyone only needs to do their own thing." He finished the second half of the sentence.

Jiang Rui nodded with his eyebrows.

Ling Yuan started playing chess again, but did not forget to say to her: "There are a few empty rooms in the yard, go and choose one you like."

"Okay." Jiang Rui stood up and walked a few steps, then looked back at him, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Will the owner still let Sister Ningxiang serve Young Master Gu?"

Ling Yuan said: "Gu Gongzi and Miss Gu are naturally taken care of by people from the Liu Mansion. We are just guests."

"I see." Jiang Rui planned to talk to Ningxiang after he settled down, so as to reassure her.

She didn't ask Ling Yuan to agree that Ningxiang also moved to this yard, because he didn't seem to like the presence of other people on his site.

In the evening, the Liu Mansion took the wind and dust to Ling Yuan. Jiang Rui had dinner and spent the time in the courtyard by himself. When the moon rose quite high, Ling Yuan came back. Liu Xingfeng sent it back.

There was a little apologize on his face: "My father admires Brother Ling very much, and he drank a few more glasses with him. Sanniang, there are people watching the night outside the courtyard at night. If Brother Ling needs anything, please tell them to do it."

"Brother Liu Xian don't have to worry, I'm not drunk." Ling Yuan said, his face really doesn't look drunk, but his eyes are a little brighter than usual, his body is a bit drunk, and his expression is still gentle when he speaks. Thoughts are also clear.

Liu Xingfeng felt relieved when he saw this, and left after a few more words.

The little servant of the Liu Mansion sent Ling Yuan into the house and brought him hot water to wash, but he was also sent out soon. He did the same when he was in Mingshan Villa, and he didn't need to be served close by.

Jiang Rui stood in the courtyard and looked around, but did not enter Ling Yuan's house.

Since coming out of the valley, because Ling Yuan always arranged her by his side, others thought she had become his close maid, and some even thought she had been taken over by Ling Yuan. But in fact, the relationship between the two is a bit vague and ambiguous to Jiang Rui.

Ling Yuan said that if she let her follow him, it was really just on the side. She had also tried before if she wanted to serve him as a maid, but he said she didn't have to do this.

So she really didn't do anything. Although she lived in a yard, she wouldn't even enter his house without Ling Yuan's approval.

She was thinking about what happened in the past, Ling Yuan's words and deeds, and his seemingly pleasant touch in the afternoon, gradually knowing what she thought of him.

She guessed that he wanted her to be obedient, not betrayal, and in his control.

In the room, Ling Yuan washed his face by himself, and then sat in the hall, not knowing where he was looking.

Jiang Rui could see that he was indeed a little drunk. For his cautious temperament, he would get drunk at Liu's house, most likely to cope with the actions of the leader of Liu, and when there is no one around, he should be Let yourself wake up.

She guessed right, Ling Yuan was indeed doing exercises and was about to push out the alcohol in his body, but when he saw Jiang Rui probed in the yard, he broke the internal force again.

Now there were only him and the obedient little chef in this yard. He had already checked it out, and there was no one else, so he suddenly had some thoughts and wanted to see how obedient the little chef would be.

If he was completely awake at the moment, he would obviously not make such a move, but the drunkenness made the toxins in his meridians eager to move, and his depressed side couldn't help but want to appear.

He beckoned to Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui collected his thoughts and walked quickly over, "What is the command of the owner, do you want them to make hangover soup?"

Ling Yuan smiled and said, "No." He reached out to Jiang Rui, palm facing up.

Jiang Rui looked at the hand with doubts and looked at him again, but Ling Yuan didn't speak, so she hesitated for a while and put her hand up tentatively.

Ling Yuan slowly gathered his palms, held her wrists in a circle, shook his head and said, "Too skinny." He motioned to Jiang Rui to sit next to him, and then looked directly into her eyes.

She was a little confused at first, but she quickly became shy and didn't dare to look at him.

Ling Yuan smiled, a small amount of toxins spread to his throat, so he asked in a dull voice, "Are you afraid?"

Jiang Rui was startled, but because of his voice, he said nervously: "What's wrong with the owner's voice? Did he eat something hot?"

Ling Yuan did not answer, and asked: "Are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" She was not sure.

He fixedly looked at him for a while, smiled and shook his head, and then reached out to touch her earlobes, cheeks, and hair, as if he was touching a gift that suits him.

Jiang Rui only lowered his head slightly.

The hand reached her chin again, hooked up, and he asked, "Will you always be so obedient?" Compared to just now, his voice was a bit strange.

The part of him who is still sober knows that the toxins are spreading faster and wider in the body. But he didn't see fear in the eyes of the little cook, only doubts and worries.

"What's the matter with the owner? Would you like to ask the doctor?

"

Ling Yuan heard himself laughing. At this time, he even laughed badly, "It's okay, tomorrow will be fine. I am like this, are you afraid?"

He saw the little cook shook his head without hesitation, "Not afraid."

"Good." He said, touching her face.
