Xin You recalled the scene when the two met for the first time: she was running wildly on the road in a carriage with no curtains, and after getting off the carriage, she approached him with the smell of corpses...

   "If you killed Kou Qingqing and were taken back to Shaoqing Mansion, there is no need to bring your maid back to the mountains..."

   When they met for the first time, it was already after she lived in Shaoqing Mansion for a while. This is what he learned when he became suspicious because of the dropped flower pot and ordered his men to check her situation.

  He Qingxiao saw that Xinyou's face was not looking very good, he paused and said: "More importantly, I have been with you a lot, I know you are not such a person."

  At that time, she misunderstood that he was the murderer who killed Queen Xin and others, and she had to try again and again, for fear of accidentally hurting innocent people, let alone a poor girl like Kou Qingqing.

  Xin You was not comforted.

  Stinks, stinks, stinks...

   "Miss Kou—" He Qingxiao was a little at a loss.

   Still angry?

  Xin You naturally won't let her emotions go for too long. For her who has confessed half of her secrets, it is necessary for her to get along with Mr. He in a friendly way.

   "I went into the mountain again, and indeed found Kou Qingqing's body, and temporarily hid the body together with her maid Xiao Lian."

  After talking about Kou Qingqing, Xin You suddenly felt much more relaxed.

  Knowing that she is not Kou Qingqing's Xiao Lian, what she sees is that her steps are smooth and her wishes come true. In fact, only she knows the pressure.

   If it is not a last resort, who wants to live as someone else.

   What's even more tragic is that she still needs to be thankful for having this identity, and grateful for having this identity, which allows her to quickly gain a foothold in the capital and find the murderer.

   But on the spring day when the winter snow melted, she was just a carefree person.

   is the child in the mother's eyes.

  Now that He Qingxiao knows most of her secrets, at least she can be herself in front of him.

   "If Mr. He finishes asking, I want to go back to the bookstore." Xin You's words were sincere, but also a test.

  Will he ask her why she came out tonight?

  She hoped that the two of them would cooperate moderately in the future, instead of being unilaterally under his control.

"I send you."

  Xin You showed a faint smile: "Thank you."

   Turned off the lights, and the room suddenly became dark. Both of them were wearing black clothes, and they couldn't see each other for a moment, and their breathing was clear due to the sudden silence and darkness.

   Also became clear, and the smell of each other.

  Xin You froze.

  In order to play the tragic death of her mother, she used chicken blood on her face and body. The face is washed off, but the clothes in the cloak have not been changed...

  The people around me seemed to have lost their sense of smell, and said in an unchanged tone: "Miss Kou, walk carefully."

   "I am very familiar with this place, Mr. He should be careful."

  The two of them walked out of the house, the sky was filled with ink clouds, and the surroundings were endlessly dark, but when they got out of the courtyard, it became slightly brighter.

  Xin You stopped and looked at the smashed door.

  He Qingxiao coughed lightly: "Sorry."

   "Master He, you are welcome." Xin You pointed to the lock hanging on the side: "Did I lock the door?"

   It is also good to talk to Mr. He to open it, at least there is no need to arrange someone to lock the door during the day.

  She fiddled with her hand and locked the door.

   Walking out of the alley, the street is empty, and there are some faint lights in the distance.

  The wind grew stronger, making the cloak flutter and flutter.

  He Qingxiao looked at the girl whose face was pale from the cold, and walked silently on the side where the wind was blowing.

  The door of the east courtyard of the bookstore is in front of you, Xin You stopped: "Master He, go back and rest earlier."

  He Qingxiao nodded slightly, looked at her reddened nose, and finally couldn't help but say: "It's getting colder and colder, Miss Kou should try to avoid going out at night."

"knew."

   "Miss Kou, go in first."

  Hearing what he said, Xin You didn't hesitate anymore, quietly opened the door and walked in.

  He Qingxiao looked in that direction, stood silently for a while, then raised his feet and walked in one direction.

  He didn't go to Changlehou's Mansion, but Zhenfusi Yamen.

   This night, it is destined not to go to bed early.

  Xin You returned to the warm room, took off her blood-smelling clothes and soaked in the steaming hot tub, only then did her hands and feet regain their flexibility.

  Xiao Lian brought clean clothes and added hot water, but she didn't ask any questions.

  In just a few months, she has experienced more than the previous ten years, and naturally she is no longer as simple as a blank sheet of paper. She could feel that after taking back her family's girl's property, the girl had to focus on her own business.

   "Xiao Lian." Xin You called softly.

   "Girl, tell me."

  The young girl in the bathtub has snow-white shoulders, black hair like algae, and blood on her lower lip due to the steaming heat.

   "Those shops need to be taken care of by our own people. Why don't you move out of the bookstore and take good care of those shops like Mother Fang."

  Xiao Lian's expression changed when she heard this: "Girl, are you going to send Xiao Lian away?"

  Xin You didn't expect Xiaolian's reaction to be so strong. She picked up the soft towel beside her and wiped her hair while saying, "Those shops belong to Miss Kou, and they will be the foundation for you and Mother Fang to live and work in the future. You should get started sooner."

   "No!" Xiao Lian shook her head again and again, "Miss, don't drive the maidservant away. Let Nanny Fang take care of those shops, the maidservant just wants to follow the maidservant!"

  Xin You got up, and Xiao Lian hurriedly wrapped her in a large blanket.

  After getting dressed and sitting in front of the vanity mirror to comb her hair, Xin You continued the topic just now: "With those shops, you and Nanny Fang will have no worries for the rest of your life. This is what Miss Kou wants to see."

  Xiao Lian simply knelt down: "My servant just wants to follow you!"

   "It's cold on the ground, get up quickly." Xin You pulled him up helplessly, and confided some plans, "I'm going to be busy with my own affairs, and my life may be in danger. You may be implicated if you stay in the bookstore..."

  Different from Shopkeeper Hu and others, Xiao Lian and Nanny Fang were brought out from the Shaoqing Mansion by her. If something happened to her as Miss Kou, she might be implicated.

   "The servant girl knows, but the servant girl feels at ease following the girl, even if she is implicated, the servant girl is not afraid."

  Xin You waited to say more, but Xiao Lian grabbed her wrist.

   "Xiao Lian has already lost my girl, I don't want to lose you again, please..."

  She doesn't want any wealth, she just wants to guard her two girls.

  Xin You was silent for a while, and asked seriously: "No regrets?"

  Xiao Lian nodded vigorously: "No regrets!"

  Xin You looked at the young girl in full bloom in the mirror, and raised her lips slightly: "Okay."

  It turns out that no matter how difficult the road is, she also has companions.

  The next day just after dawn, Chang Liang sat up suddenly, gasping for breath.

  He subconsciously looked around, seeing familiar home furnishings and a familiar environment.

  Did he see the **** last night?

   After reacting, he immediately got out of bed and checked inside and out.

  He still remembered the **** tears from the corners of the female ghost's eyes, which fell to the ground. But there was nothing, no trace of the female ghost's presence.

  Chang Liang went to wash his face with cold water and spit on the ground.

   It's really unlucky that the ghost presses the bed!
