President, school grass, don't leave after school

Chapter 123 Nalan Yanluo

"Dad...Dad." Xia Lan yelled out a word in a trembling voice, her heart was so empty that she panicked, and she looked at Xia Minghai timidly.

"You still know that I'm your father." Xia Minghai's words were cold and stern, and his aggression almost turned on him.Sitting beside him in the passenger seat, Nian Rong turned his head to look at Xia Lan, and said in a gentle but suppressed anger, "If you have anything to do, let's talk about it when we get home, Ming Hai, Lan Lan gets in the car."

"Oh..." Xia Lan got into the car silently with a bitter face, and sat in the back seat without saying a word until she got home.

Xia Minghai stopped the car, and his voice was a little hoarse: "If I hadn't told your mother that I finally had time to come back early today so that I could pick you up, we wouldn't even know about your relationship."

"What's in a relationship? Dad, I don't." Xia Lan didn't expect that she just chatted with Nangong Xun a few more times while walking, how could it become her in a relationship?Xia Lan argues with reason: "He and I are just classmates, how come we are in a relationship when we walk with a male classmate and talk?"

"Then what else do you want? Is this not enough?" Xia Ming raised the car keys and slapped the steering wheel of the car angrily.

Xia Lan got angry when she heard it, what is it?Didn't she mean it?Wow... Take it, what kind of brain circuit does this grown-up have? !Did she say she wanted to go further?

Really, I don't know what to think, no wonder they say there is a generation gap, this time she really believed it.

Nian Rong comforted Xia Minghai and said, "Maybe it's just a few words when I met him after school."

"Even if she happened to meet after school, she couldn't ignore Miss Qianxiao. If it wasn't for her, would she have been able to enter a noble university?"

"Oh, it's not like you don't know, Ming Hai, Qian Xiao and Yi Han's wedding was just held a while ago. They have a good relationship, and it's not easy for us Lan Lan to join in the fun."

Xia Lan took Nian Rong's words and said, "That's right, Dad. Every time I go to the gate of the top class to look for Qian Xiao, but Yi Han is the only one in his eyes. She will go to Class Seven in a few days. She has already got the recommended quota..."

Xia Minghai was a little surprised and asked: "You mean, Qian Xiao got the recommended spot? How is it possible, did she go to the principal of the noble university?"

"How do I know?" Xia Lan got out of the car with some sorrow, and followed Nian Rong. "In the past, you all wanted me to marry Young Master Gu, but Young Master Gu's life and death are unknown now..."

Nian Rong patted her jade hand, and said earnestly, "Even if there is no Young Master Gu... then Young Master Su is still very good."

"What? Young Master Su?!" Xia Lan was startled, and looked at Nian Rong in disbelief.Xia Minghai also spoke, but his face was a little ugly: "Although it is said that the Xia family has an engagement with the Gu family, Gu Shao's whereabouts are unknown now, and you are still young, so it is impossible to wait for him for a lifetime."

What... Originally, she felt that it was unrealistic to want to marry Young Master Gu, and she herself felt that she was wishful thinking.But she never expected that her parents, who had only silently supported her behind her back before, would actually say such utilitarian words.

Before Xia Lan could react, Nian Rong also echoed and said, "Yes, Lan Lan, Young Master Su has also changed recently, and he is much better than the previous Playboy. In terms of family, although Su's is worse than Gu's, A little bit, but Young Master Su's father is the mayor of our city A."

"What's the matter with the mayor? It's not like you don't know... Su Shao's virtue, if you say that Shen Feng's romantic nature is the first, then he is the second."

"How do you talk about this kid? Young Master Su has changed his past, and he will become as good as Young Master Gu. Find a chance to get close to Young Master Su as early as possible..."

Xia Lan looked at Xia Minghai and Nian Rong in disbelief. For some reason, at this moment, she felt that the parents around her looked like two ferocious monsters, pressing her every step of the way, even pushing her into the cliff.

It shouldn't be like this, don't they keep saying that they love themselves the most?It shouldn't be whoever you want to like, whoever you want to be with...

"Lan Lan, we are doing it for your own good. If you marry a better husband's family, you will be able to live comfortably in the future."

"But, Mom, I don't like Young Master Su at all, and you also supported me to be with Young Master Gu back then."

"Then did Young Master Gu talk to you?" Xia Minghai said with an ugly expression.

"I tried."

"What's the use of working hard? That's it. When you go to university, you will apply for the same major as Su Shao." Xia Minghai's words were irresistible, and Nian Rong also looked at his daughter with some embarrassment. Sighing in my heart, I turned around and pushed open the door, and followed Xia Minghai into the door with his arms around her.

Xia Lan's dull eyes fell on the door, and she lowered her head to stare at the two pairs of shoes on the ground, feeling for the first time how humble her existence was to this family.In the living room, Xia Wanglong was holding a game console on his mobile phone, and looked towards them when he heard the movement from the door.

"Dad, Mom, are you back?"

"Well, Wanglong, are you hungry? Mom is going to cook something delicious for you. What do you want to eat?" Nian Rong returned to her previous loving motherly appearance, as if the greedy and snobbish woman in Xia Lan's eyes had nothing to do with her .

"Mom, I'm really hungry when you say that, and I want to try your braised pork."

"Okay, mom will make it for you right now, Wanglong is so good." Nianrong put the expensive bag in his hand on the sofa, glanced at Xia Lan who was still at the door, turned around and walked into the kitchen dignifiedly.

Xia Minghai said angrily, "You, you brat, you won't let your mother rest for a while."

Nianrong's sweet voice came from the kitchen. If Xia Ziyuan was here at this moment, she would definitely feel so sick that she wanted to vomit. Nianrong said that for the sake of this family, she would be willing no matter how busy or tired she was.

Xia Minghai suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart, and he finally understood what it means to "get a wife so much, what more can a husband ask for".Xia Lan was not feeling well, she looked at her younger brother who was still playing games on the sofa, moved her hands, and seemed to have forgotten how to change shoes.

"Sister?" Xia Wanglong had obviously noticed the door. He held the game console in one hand, and stuffed a handful of snacks on the coffee table into his mouth with the other, making them crunchy.Just by hearing the sound, one could guess that what he was taking was potato chips and junk food, but Xia Wanglong and Nian Rong didn't dislike him eating these.Seeing that Xia Lan didn't respond, Xia Wanglong asked her a little funnyly: "What's wrong, sister, are you stupid? You can't even change your shoes, what are you doing at the door?"

Xia Lan replied a little dullly, saying, "It's okay." Then, she leaned over to change her shoes, and because her eyes were a little dull, she even took the guest shoes for herself.Xia Wanglong was obviously a little dumbfounded when he saw this scene, and asked her with a frown: "What's wrong with you? Your shoes are in the left cabinet, why are you using the shoes in the right cabinet? Do you even treat yourself as a guest?"

Hearing this, Xia Lan quickly looked into the living room, looking for Xia Minghai's figure. She was relieved when she saw that Xia Minghai's figure had disappeared at the door of the study. Straight up the stairs.After that, no matter how Xia Wanglong called her, she would ignore her.

Xia Wanglong was very puzzled, and he didn't know where his sister's tendon was wrong. This didn't seem like the way she went home. Didn't she always go home with a smile in the past?strangeness.

It wasn't until the sound of his character being killed in battle came from the game console that Xia Wanglong came back to play the game seriously.

During the later meal time, Nian Rong went to call Xia Lan several times, but Xia Lan finally went downstairs to have dinner amidst Xia Minghai's anger.Xia Wanglong noticed that she didn't eat much, she finished eating at the table without saying a word, and then continued to go upstairs mechanically.In order to ease the atmosphere, Xia Wanglong told his parents about some of his experiences in school. Of course, what he heard the most was not the laughter, but the great principles his parents told him.

Xia Wanglong was tired of hearing it, but he had no choice but to do nothing.Obviously, every time, what he wants to express is not the meaning, and it is not clear what is the brain circuit of an adult. In the end, it will evolve into telling him to study hard, to be single-minded, and not to be greedy for leisure, go to class, play on mobile phones and talk in love.Would he not know about this?Aha, he grows up so big that he doesn't even understand this truth?

But everyone does understand the truth, but not all the great truths are suitable for everyone, let alone everyone can do it after knowing the great truth.

In the side hall of the west gate, Xia Ziyuan listened briefly to the etiquette officer explaining to her some etiquette that should be paid attention to when dining, so as to avoid unnecessary embarrassment for her when dining.Xia Ziyuan had a headache and wrote them down one by one. If she didn't say anything, she almost forgot. She used to have so many complicated etiquettes at home, especially when she was in Yueshi. Time is the beginning of her nightmare.

Yue Shumin also taught her this, but she was not required to do it every day. For Yue Shumin, or in Yue Shumin's words, etiquette is for others to see. The rules are also established between people. When you are alone, you can do whatever you want.So in Xia Ziyuan's precious castle, there are no rules, but her rules.

"Okay, that's about all there is to pay attention to, Miss Linna, I wish you a pleasant dinner."

Xia Ziyuan wanted to thank her very much, but Lin Na in Ximen Mo's influence on her did not have such a ladylike and polite side. On the contrary, Lin Na was a ruthless and charming killer.Xia Ziyuan just gave a faint "hmm", took off the cloth strips that bound her hands, and handed them over to the maid who was holding a tray to guard her. She washed her hands with petals on them, dried them with a towel, and entered the hall through the side door .

Because she didn't go with Ximen Mo, Xia Ziyuan was unavoidably cautious, but fortunately, the beauty on her body completely concealed her guilty conscience, and more or less eyes fell on her, with banter and envy, Also explore with curiosity.

In Xia Ziyuan's impression, she can remember the life among the nobles, except for banquets, dance parties, masquerade parties, etc., or concentrated shooting and hunting.The most important thing about shooting and hunting is the riding and archery technique, and of course, the chic and handsome figure when aiming at the prey. Most young masters among the nobles use this to attract the attention of the lady.

But now it is still at the dinner party, Xia Ziyuan doesn't know how she thinks of the hunting scene, maybe it's because Ximen Mo mentioned it to her, the coming-of-age ceremony held every three years includes hunting.But to this day, Xia Ziyuan never imagined why the prey she hunted that day would become her.

Ximen Mo was dressed in traditional aristocratic attire. He sat gracefully beside Mrs. Ximen, like a vampire duke who would only appear in the dark. His whole body exuded an aura of abstinence, which fascinated countless women.Ximen Mo likes black hair and black pupils with oriental colors, which also makes him stand out among the many blond-haired noblemen and ladies.

Of course, there is also Miss Lin Na who is also eye-catching.

Xia Ziyuan didn't even know how Ximen Moru could spot her in the crowd with just one glance, until she saw her own red hair in the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall.Ximen Mo hooked his hand at her, signaling her to go over. If Xia Ziyuan's movement towards him had not caught everyone's eyes, how many noble ladies would have been seduced by his movement, thinking that he was signaling to him.

"Miss Lin Na came to Ximen for the first time, and she is Mo'er's right-hand man. Ximen should treat her as a distinguished guest. Miss Lin Na, please take a seat." The king, overlooking all things, Xia Ziyuan also felt a little bit of her own insignificance in an instant.

No wonder the people in Ximen believed in her so much. As expected, wherever Yue Lousha was, they felt inexplicably more secure in their hearts.However, Xia Ziyuan immediately made it clear that she was leaving. She didn't come to submit. The purpose of her trip was to win, Mrs. Ximen.

Xia Ziyuan followed what the etiquette officer said, saluted and got up, and sat down in her seat. She sat opposite Ximen Mo. From her direction, she could clearly see several beauties surrounding Ximen Mo, but Ximen Mo Mo didn't seem too interested, and only when they were pouring wine would they pay more attention.

Anyway, he doesn't lack beautiful women in his heart, but himself... Xia Ziyuan glanced at the women waiting on her left and right, and always felt a little awkward in her heart.

"Miss Lin Na, would you like some juice?"

"I don't know that Miss Lin Na is very strong at drinking, would you like some wine? This is specially brought out by Madam to entertain guests."

"Oh? If Ma'am specially prepared it for me, then... fill it up for me." Xia Ziyuan was a little pretending, her flattery fell into the eyes of others, especially those around her, they were more or less in their hearts I have a bit of contempt for her.You just came here as a guest, and you don't even want a little bottom line just to please Mrs. Ximen?Fill it all up?Have you finished your drink?

Moreover, to be honest, the wine Mrs. Ximen prepared for the guests is true, but you are not the only guest.

Xia Ziyuan's meaning is very simple, she is not interested in flattering certain people, she just simply doesn't want others to pour her wine, because she has seen that the guests know each other and say hello to each other. It's not appropriate to expose your identity, it's better to keep a low profile, so as not to shoot yourself in the foot when you have time.

There were not many conversations at the dinner party, and most of the time was spent listening to how Mrs. Ximen introduced her precious son to others, and Ximen Mo responded politely one by one. During the period, some ladies took the initiative to greet and chat with him.

Ximen Mo didn't look for topics, and he wasn't good at speaking, but his polite attitude alone was enough to make the girls fall in love with him.Perhaps it was because Gu Aochen, Su Tianhao and Nan Gongyi were too good at school, which made him unable to display his unique brilliance.Looking at it this way, Ximen Mo is indeed quite popular with girls, except for Xia Ziyuan.

Looking at Ximen Mo surrounded by stars like the moon, Xia Ziyuan unconsciously thought of another person, and at the same time, affirmed her determination.

After the night, it is destined to welcome the dawn;

The evening wind blows, blowing away the fog and reappearing the moonlight;

I walked through the crowd, in light and dark,

Also, eventually, I will meet you.

"I've noticed." On the balcony outside the corridor, Ximen Mo said with his back to her, blowing the cold wind. Barbs on lower flowering branches.

Xia Ziyuan slowly walked behind him, and asked him puzzled, "What?"

"The full wine glass on your table."

"I don't like dealing with others, my eloquence is not good." Xia Ziyuan lied without guilt.

Ximen Mo sneered, as if he had heard a very funny joke, he broke off a rose flower, played with it in his hand, and began to peel off its petals one by one.

A gust of wind blew past, and Xia Ziyuan couldn't tell whether what she heard was the howling wind or the crying of flowers.Xia Ziyuan dissuaded him helplessly: "Did this flower offend you?"

"No." The movements of Ximen Mo's hands just paused, and then continued: "It seems that women cherish flowers, and the ancients never deceived me."

"What, what?" Xia Ziyuan didn't understand the meaning of his words for a while, and only later did she realize how he had become more sophisticated for no reason.

Ximen Mo made a quiet gesture to her, and then let go of his hand. The rose petals and the remaining half rose fell on the carpet, and were blown out of the balcony by the wind and fluttered in the air.

Xia Ziyuan shut her mouth subconsciously, and then, she heard a voice from above her head, which seemed to be on the floor above them. For some reason, the sound insulation here seemed not particularly good.

"Ma'am, Miss Nalan has returned from the secret room." The person who spoke was Ellie, because Xia Ziyuan had heard her and Mrs. Ximen's brief conversation in the front hall, so she still had some feelings for her tone. impressive.

Hearing her words, Xia Ziyuan thought suspiciously, Miss Nalan?Who is this?

She looked at Ximen Mo and saw that his face was slightly gloomy. She had guessed a thing or two. It seemed that Miss Nalan was related to the relationship between Mrs. Ximen and Ximen Mo.

Then, Yue Lousha's voice came again: "Clean up, let's go and see the child, remember to ask the kitchen to prepare some supplements, just to give her a boost."

Replenish your body?What a strange word.

Xia Ziyuan continued to express her bewilderment and doubts, what is this all about?However, she suddenly remembered that it seemed that she hadn't lived in Gu's house for a few days, and Gu Xiaoluoli kept saying that she would cook for her herself to make up her body, um... I probably understand.

I just don't know if what Mrs. Ximen said meant what she thought.

"Ma'am, is this family going to ask Miss Nalan to find Fourth Young Master?"

"Let them go. Look at the young lady sent by Nalan's house. She's quite self-conscious. Have all the new maids who arrived today been tested?"

"Go back to Madam, I've tested everything, and I've arranged to work in the kitchen, waiting for Madam's orders at any time."

"Forget it, it's not time to take a bath yet. Is there any news from Axiu?"

"Second Young Master sent someone to look for Lord Earl for a while, but it didn't work, so he gave up. Now he is still in the video game industry in City A..."

"Hmph, he's living a leisurely life. I knew that my second son is playful. I don't know how much surprise Mo'er will bring me when he comes back this time."

"Ma'am, the steward said that there is news from over there, asking whether our price has risen or not?"

"Still going up?" Mrs. Ximen's voice was slightly angry, and there was a sound of smashing things from upstairs, "These scoundrels have fallen into the eyes of money, isn't the money given to them not enough?!"

"Ma'am..." Ellie's voice was timid.

"You don't need to do it, I will leave it to others to clean it up. The people we deployed in England, do you have any news from the Earl?" Seeing that Ellie didn't answer, Yue Lusha frowned and said, "Not yet?"

"Yes, yes, someone saw the earl at the British border a month ago."

"A month ago? Why didn't you tell me?!"

"At that time, I was not sure if it was the Earl, so I never reported it to you."

"A bunch of trash, didn't I tell you? Once there is any news from the Earl, please let me know."

"If it's a rumor, do you want it too?"

Yue Lousha thought for a while, and said: "Yes, anyway, I don't need to do it myself, my two good sons will help me solve it."

Yo, I learned, it turns out that the son is used for this.

Xia Ziyuan took a meaningful look at Ximen Mo, and suddenly felt that he was also quite pitiful.Ximen Mo turned around and left, casting a cold glance at her. Seeing this, Xia Ziyuan followed her. In the corridor, she heard Ximen Mo's voice: "What's the matter with your sympathetic eyes?"

Xia Ziyuan held back her smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just, you, you're wrong, I don't have any sympathy for you. It's too late for me to pay homage to you, Third Young Master Ximen..."

Xia Ziyuan hadn't finished speaking when they ran into Nalan Yanluo who was walking up the stairs, Xia Ziyuan was a little stunned, she... what did she say just now?Nalan Yanluo was supported by a maid. The off-the-shoulder long skirt could not cover up the bright red color of her neck, and her crisp shoulders were even a little bruised. She closed her eyes from the beginning to the end, relying on the People lead the way.

"Miss Nalan, we are in the corridor." The maid reminded her, and she stopped in front of Ximen Mo, and said hello to Ximen Mo: "Hello, Third Young Master."

"But Third Young Master, Mr. Ximen Mo?"

"It's me, Ms. Nalan, long time no see." Ximen Mo's voice sounded right in front of her, an elegant gentleman, Nalan Yanluo heard the words, and unconsciously blocked the wound on his body, with an apologetic expression on his face.

Ximen Mo didn't seem to notice, his eyes easily passed her, and he said to Xia Ziyuan beside him, "Lin Na, this is Miss Nalan Yanluo, the second lady of the Nalan family. This is Lin Na, I Yes, follower." Ximen Moru introduced her to Nalan Yanluo, Xia Ziyuan was a little surprised, she thought Ximen Mo had already neglected herself.

"Hi Miss Lin Na."

"Miss Nalan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"We still have something to do, Lin Na, let's go first." Ximen Mo called back Xia Ziyuan who was distracted. To be honest, Xia Ziyuan was really shocked by Nalan Yanluo's beauty, so she was distracted for a while.

Such a beautiful girl, with the velvet dress on her body, she feels like an angel who has fallen into the world, or a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, spotless, so clean and pure.Of course, except for those scars on her body.Xia Ziyuan finally knew and confirmed the meaning of Mrs. Ximen's words just now, what it means to make up Miss Nalan's body well.Of course, there is another key point for her to get, which is the secret room that Miss Nalan has been to. Who is locked in this secret room?

"Miss Nalan, take your leave."

"You guys go get busy first, see you later." Nalan Yanluo bowed in a very demeanor manner, waiting for Ximen Mo and Xia Ziyuan to pass by her.

After entering the room, Xia Ziyuan sat on the sofa and asked Ximen Mo: "What does Miss Nalan mean by coming to your Ximen's house? Besides, what is the secret room she mentioned?"

"Nalan Yanluo came to get married, she is considered a married woman, but Madam Nalan and her elder sister didn't treat her very well, she lost her mother in her early years, and she came to Ximen, she was just reduced to a tool for Yue Lusha. During the marriage, Yue Lousha proposed to hand over Ximen to Ximen Zheng, but Ximen Xiu and I destroyed it. So she put forward the principle of competition, whoever gets rid of Ximen Yunting first will be the leader of Ximen's family. But Ximen But Zheng was imprisoned in a secret room by her on the charge of treason."

"It's called detention, but it's actually protection, right?" Xia Ziyuan smiled faintly.

Ximen Mo said, "You saw it too?"

"It's very simple. You said that Nalan Yanluo is now Yue Lousha's toolmaker, so she won't waste her tools and chess pieces to do something meaningless, right? Therefore, in Yuelousha's mind The real candidate for the position of Ximen ruler is Ximen Zheng."

"She likes puppets, so that the power will still be in her own hands, and, only in this way, can the dirty things she did continue to hide underground."

"I'll go out for a while." Xia Ziyuan got ready to go.

"Where?"

Xia Ziyuan glanced at Ximen Mo who was slumped on the sofa, and said disapprovingly, "What do you think? I'm not here for vacation."

"You are really impatient."

What tiger and wolf words?

Xia Ziyuan pursed her lips, put on her short-bladed saber, and said, "Anyway, I just want to end all of this quickly."

"The end?" Ximen Mo chuckled, "The end is never the end."

"I'm going to investigate the clues, and you will bring it in the room, and put on the headset. If you have something to do, come and help me out."

"What about the reward?" Ximen Mo picked up two decorative gold coins on the coffee table, and tossed them in his hands.After reaching a certain height, the gold coin fell into his hands again, and so on.

"We are a cooperative relationship, you propose to pay me?"

"At least, I'll leave you two gold coins for your boat fare, so that at least you won't be thrown into the river by extraditionists when you cross the River Styx."

This is, has she already figured out how to die?The corners of Xia Ziyuan's mouth rose slightly, and she knocked down the gold coin he threw with the dart in her hand, and it just landed in the ashtray.

"Are you stupid? It turns out that there are details that even the third young master didn't notice. After crossing the Styx to reach the underworld, the extradition person was handed silver coins instead of gold coins, because the Styx is originally a silver-gray river. Usually only Only souls with great achievements and heroes are allowed to wear gold coins, because this is enough to make their great souls shine in the sea of ​​souls. If it is really me, it is enough to bring two silver coins." Xia Xia After Zi Yuan finished speaking, she quietly left the room.And Ximen Mo's eyes fell on the two gold coins and the darts in the ashtray. Of course, his eyes mainly fell on those two gold coins.

Ximen Mo murmured: "Sure enough, what you see on TV may not be true."

Next time, let's replace it with two silver coins.Ximen Mo picked up two gold coins and put them in the hands of the boatman on the tea table...

……

"Miss Nalan, Madam is here to see you." The door of Nalan Yanluo's room was knocked, she went to open the door, obediently listened to Yue Lusha talking to her, and walked into the room.

Yue Lousha chatted with her about some daily topics, such as whether she ate or not, whether she slept well, and Ximen's house treated her badly these days.Naturally, Nalan Yanluo said that he didn't have it, and then he said some good things about the Ximen family.

Is this, business blowing?

"I've wronged you, Yan Luo. From now on, if you stay with Ximen, Ah Zheng and I will treat you well."

"Yes, thank you Ma'am for your love."

"I asked the kitchen to prepare some supplements for you, and I will ask the maid to get them later."

"Okay, thank you madam."

"Don't always say thank you to me, it's strange to be born, as long as you make your position clear, Simon, as long as I'm here, you can have a foothold."

Really?Nalan Yanluo sighed softly in his heart, like a withered petal struggling in the wind in the air, but could not escape the fate of falling into the lake after all.

But he still promised: "I know."

"You also know Ah Zheng's temperament. I will tell him to treat you well in the future. As long as the two of us work together, when Ah Zheng becomes the real ruler of Ximen, you will be Mrs. Ximen."

"Ma'am, I absolutely dare not be Yan Luo."

"Silly boy, look how scared you are? I said you can afford it, so you can afford it."

"This……"

"Huh? Are you refusing to accept my kindness?"

"Yanluo dare not."

"That's it, be good, I can give you whatever you want." Yue Lousha said with satisfaction, and left the room. There was no maid waiting in Nalan Yanluo's room, she was more used to it. She was alone, but in order to be there whenever she was called, Yue Lousha ordered the maids to wait outside the door, waiting for orders at any time.In the first few days, the maids were quite serious, and then they gradually began to relax, because after so long, Miss Nalan never called them once.

"Come out, don't hide, Miss Lin Na." Nalan Yanluo said softly, sitting on the edge of the bed.

interesting.

Xia Ziyuan pushed open the door of the closet, put away the dagger in her hand, walked slowly in front of her, looked down at her, and said, "How did you find me?"

"I remember your footsteps." Nalan Yanluo said without fear, and even raised her head. If her eyes could be opened, Xia Ziyuan believed that she would look at him.

"Oh? What's the sound of my footsteps?" Xia Ziyuan looked at her with interest. After confirming that she would not call for help, Xia Ziyuan also relaxed her vigilance. After all, if she wanted to expose herself , as early as when Mrs. Simon was around, she could have said it.However, she didn't do that.

"Light, yet somewhat crisp and melodious, every step is powerful, but not clumsy. Listening to the voice, Miss Lin Na is very skilled, and she is also a rare beauty."

Xia Ziyuan did not expect that she would give herself such a high evaluation. It was clear that she had never seen herself.

"your eyes……"

"Because I was blind when I was very young, Miss Lin Na took the risk to come here just to ask me this?"

"No." Xia Ziyuan folded her arms around her chest, began to size her up, and asked her with great interest, "Why didn't you expose me just now?" Xia Ziyuan didn't overestimate her skills, but underestimated hers. hearing.She didn't expect that Nalan Yanluo's hearing was so good, she only heard the footsteps once, and she still had an impression.Recalling that she could remember Ellie's voice after hearing the short conversation between Ellie and Mrs. Ximen, she suddenly felt a certain sense of commonality with Nalan Yanluo.

"Miss Lin Na belongs to Third Young Master, right? Actually, I'm still willing to stand on Third Young Master's side."

"Oh?" Xia Ziyuan narrowed her eyes dangerously, not only the second half of the sentence, in fact, the first half of Nalan Yanluo's sentence also made her want to refute, she is not someone from Ximen Mo, cut!Moreover, what does this Nalan Yanluo mean?Isn't she on the same boat as Mrs. Simon on the surface?

"It's just a pity that although the third young master showed great admiration for me on the day of the marriage, he didn't leave me any contact information. In desperation, I had no choice but to submit to Mrs. Ximen's command, even at the expense of Ruin yourself to please her useless son."

Xia Ziyuan expressed some sympathy for her experience, "I want to help you too, but there is nothing I can do."

"The Nalan family has abandoned me. Now I can only survive if I get a place in Ximen. Lin Na, I know the purpose of you and the third young master coming back this trip. I can help you. You want to do it. What? Pull Mrs. Ximen from that position? I know that there are many people who want to do this, but only those who can have that power and power, among Ximen, there are only three young masters."

"Help us?" Xia Ziyuan sneered, the blade was already on her neck, and she said casually: "I have to say, Miss Nalan really has a good plan. You want to play hard to get, want Expressing your sincerity to me is actually just putting a long line to catch a big fish, not for a short-term gain. When Ximen Mo and I want to make a move, you will inform Mrs. Ximen to catch a turtle in a urn, and specifically pick our weakest when."

Nalan Yanluo stretched out his hand slowly, and clapped his hands. The applause was clear and powerful, echoing throughout the room.The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, and the whole movement of applauding lasted more than ten seconds before she stopped and said to Xia Ziyuan, "I have to admire, Miss Lin Na's thinking is clear, it really is impossible to plot against you.
