The warm man smiled. "It's just that it might implicate the lady's reputation. I'm the only one in my mansion."
I hastily waved my hands. "I won't be burdened, I won't be burdened. If you don't mind, I'll thank you very much." I revealed a standard smile with eight teeth towards him, but just then, I remembered that the ancient people seemed to be very particular about it, rather than revealing their teeth, I quickly shut my mouth and smiled, "My name is Xiang Yuxing, what about you?"
"Qi Mo." He smiled.
Bai Jing's gaze was on me the whole time but he didn't say a word. I knew Bai Jing's personality, so I didn't keep going forward. If I made things difficult for him, it would make him bored, so I could only slowly gain his trust.
"Jing, what do you think?" Qi Mo looked at Bai Jing.
"You're called Jing." I'm curious.
"Bai Jing." He finally spat out two words. I understand that with Bai Jing's proud character, even if he had gone to the mortal world to gain experience, he wouldn't bother to change his appearance and name. He still took his own name, which was difficult for him to take charge of the judge of the yin division, and he even had to find a family with the same surname for him.
"What a beautiful name." I smiled, and couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"You will live here from now on." Bai Jing spoke up slowly.
The rest of us were stunned. What is this? Did they agree to me staying here?
"Xia Shui, from now on, you will be in charge of taking care of Miss." Bai Jing ignored us, and instructed Xia Shui at her side. A hint of joy flashed across Xia Shui's face, "Yes," she bowed respectfully.
"Third brother, you really want to keep this unknown person here." The kid started to block again.
"Sixth brother, she is my benefactor, you can't be rude to her in the future." Bai Jing reprimanded in a low voice, his voice unquestionable.
"When we find your hometown, I will send someone to send you back. Before that, you can stay here. Bai Jing instructed.
"Oh, okay, thanks." I solemnly bowed to him, and in the end, I saw the remaining people in the room looking at me in confusion. I remembered that Xia Shui didn't do it like that, but had already done it, I could only chuckle, "This is a form of etiquette for our place."
Whitechapel nodded, then turned and walked out the door. The youngster also ran out. Before leaving, he turned around and made a face at me. I glared at him.
Qi Mo followed me and left, but before he left, he politely bowed to me, then left with a smile.
"Miss Xiang, the medicine is almost cold. Drink it first." Xia Shui passed the medicine bowl to me.
"Thank you." I took it and frowned as I looked at the bowl of dark stuff. It felt really good to smell it, and I couldn't bring myself to take a sip. I held it in my hand and didn't drink it for a long time.
"Miss, do you dislike it? This servant has prepared candied fruits, Miss can eat them once you drink them." Xia Shui laughed and took out a small box.
I took one of the candied fruits and put it in my mouth. The strong sweetness spread through my lips, and I pinched my nose and drank it down with my eyes closed. I still wanted to cry, but the sweetness of the candied fruit quickly overshadowed the bitter taste.
"Miss is like a child." Xia Shui looked at me and laughed innocently.
"How old are you this year? You look even younger than me."
"This servant will do it today." Xia Shui said frankly.
"14, she's much younger than me. You can just call me sister from now on." I smiled. Fourteen, I was still carefreely spending my parents' money, in the school. Xia Shui is about to be given a place in the family, my future prospects are uncertain.
"Miss is only 16. He's at most two years older than me. " Xia Shui chuckled.
"How is this possible? I'm 18."
"Miss was just teasing me, how could you possibly be 18 years old? You have the word 'birthday' in your clothes, and when I helped you change your clothes yesterday, I saw the word 'birthday' on your purse. You are in your prime this year." As Xia Shui said this, she took out a money bag and handed it over to me.
I'm sure it wasn't mine, I've never carried it before, but why is it with me? The memory rapidly receded, as if the Hundred Spirit Beast before I entered the tunnel had told me that my body would change, that my age would also change. Could it be that I'm currently 16 years old?
I hurried in front of the bronze mirror. I didn't notice it earlier, but now that I looked closely at myself in the mirror, it seemed that I really had become smaller. I pulled back my sleeves, and remembered that when I was 17 years old, I was accidentally cut by a knife and left with a scar.
I compared myself to Xia Shui and became shorter as well. I happily pulled on Xia Shui's hand. "I am only 16." Xia Shui was confused by my sudden excitement and looked at me suspiciously.
"Oh right, Xia Shui, who was that youth just now?" I sat on a stool and idly fiddled with my purse.
"That is the Duke's twin brother, Bai Chen." Xia Shui poured me a cup of tea and said.
"How old is he now?" I asked subconsciously.
Although Xia Shui was confused, she still told her the truth, "14.'
"He's the same age as you. Xia Shui, do you like him?" My face was full of gossip.
"Miss, what are you talking about? He is the master and I am the servant. How can I covet little master?" Xia Shui was getting anxious.
"Alright, alright, alright. I don't like it. I won't say anymore." I smiled and said, "Besides, if you like it then go and pursue it. If he is a man of righteousness, how would he dislike your birth? Moreover, isn't it just reincarnating a little? I shook my teacup and said slowly.
"Sister Xiang, don't say anymore. You're not one of us, so your thoughts are different from ours. However, you're in the palace right now, so you have to be careful of the wall. If anyone else hears, you're dead." Xia Shui was so scared that he covered my mouth.
"Since you called me big sister, then I won't say anymore. You're just a coward." I teased her.
"Do you have a family?" I started to chat about family matters with Xia Shui.
"I also have a brother and two sisters. My parents are no longer here, so I came to the manor to serve as a servant, reducing the burden on Big Brother." Xia Shui was sad to mention his family.
"I'm sorry." I looked at Xia Shui a little apologetically. I asked him something that she shouldn't have asked.
"It's fine, it's not a secret after all. To big sister. "
"I have another parent who loves me a lot, and another sister who also loves me a lot. When I'm with them, I feel like the whole world belongs to me. "It's a pity that I can't be by their side right now. If they find out that I'm missing, they'll die of anxiety." The light in my eyes dimmed. I hope that I can finish as soon as possible and return.
