Chapter 57

057 jealous Lord Huo

"King Wu and I?" Shen Qingru was stunned. She and Xiao Qijun just helped each other once. They can't even talk about ordinary friends. Why are Xiao Qiyu and Lord Huo so interested in her relationship with the king of Wu?

Huo Qijun saw her standing there in a daze, but a faint blush appeared on her white jade like cheeks, and even a suspicious pink on her auricles.

An unprecedented feeling of loss spread in the bottom of his heart, which made Huo Qijun himself a little stunned. He and Shen Qingru only met three times. Compared with Arabic, the relationship is far from familiar. However, he couldn't help opening his mouth and asked a gossip question that a woman was interested in.

And the answer

Huo Qijun pursed his lips, and a trace of loss flashed in his dark eyes. However, in less than a second, he had recovered his expressionless appearance from the front.

"Farewell." a cold voice called Shen Qingru back from the Leng God. She looked up at the handsome Lord Huo in front of her, and suddenly felt that the other party seemed to have a colder atmosphere than usual.

In the past, Lord Huo was a thousand year old ice. In front of him, he was a big iceberg that had been frozen for thousands of years. He was cold all over, as if he could freeze to death within a hundred miles.

"Hou ye, are you angry?" Shen qingruqiang asked fearlessly against the cold X-ray eyes of Hou Ye Huo.

Huo Qijun snorted, "where can you see that Ben Hou is angry?"

Nonsense, the strong aura around you has reduced the temperature here by 20 degrees. The slaves and maidservants around are running away and dare not go near here. It seems colder now than just now

Shen Qingru looks at the ice face and opens his brain. It's very hot in summer. If you can have a lord Huo to cool down, it's much better than ice. After all, Lord Huo has his own air conditioner all year round, and can follow Lord Huo's mood from cold to colder, from colder to frozen.

"I have nothing to do with his Highness the king of Wu..." Shen Qingru thought about it and thought it was true. "His Highness the king of Wu was kind to me. When he was a guest in the prime minister's house, he happened to see the joint murder of Qin and Shen Muyun. He came forward to testify for me and saved me from being sent to the family temple. Last time, I reluctantly paid back the kindness of his Highness the king of Wu."

"Xiao Qijun testified for you?" Huo Qijun raised his eyelids and his tone was full of doubt.

Shen Qingru nodded with a stiff head: "Your Highness King Wu is honest by nature. He probably didn't want to see me wronged, so he insisted on my innocence. I'm very grateful to him."

Huo Qijun snorted coldly: "no need to thank you. You have already paid him back and don't owe him anything anymore. Stay away from him in the future."

"But..." Shen Qingru was stunned and subconsciously refuted. She really didn't understand why Huo Qijun cared so much about her "gratitude" relationship with the king of Wu. Compared with her friends, Shen Qingru feels that she and King Wu are more like allies. The only one who can resist the prince and Xiao Qiyu's party is Xiao Qijun, king of Wu. Xiao Qijun himself is diligent and loves the people. If he can support Xiao Qijun to ascend, he can not only benefit the people and save the common people, but also make Xiao Qiyu and Shen Muyun's wishes for dogs and men come to naught.

"If he continues to pester you, just let him come to me." seeing Shen Qingru's slight hesitation, Lord Huo's face turned black again, and the cold around him was almost frozen

"Yes, but..." Shen Qingru felt that Lord Huo was so unruly that he was a little childish.

"I also saved you twice. Why didn't I see you mention repaying kindness?" Huo Qijun's face was slightly strange.

Shen Qingru was stunned. He couldn't believe it came from the iceberg Marquis opposite. Does Lord Huo mean to... Need her to repay her kindness??

You can see Huo Dashao's proud appearance opposite. Shen Qingru is slightly guilty. Indeed, to some extent, Huo Qijun is also her benefactor.

"Er... Both Lord Wu and his highness King Wu are Qingru's benefactors." Shen Qingru saw Huo Dashao's slightly frowned sword eyebrow across the street and said with clenched teeth: "my father and brother have always taught me that I must repay the kindness of others. His highness King Wu has helped me a lot. I will repay him if I have the opportunity. And Lord..."

"Compared with his highness King Wu, the Marquis is as kind as a mountain to Qingru. But Qingru thinks that the Marquis is a special person..."

Especially honest, especially courageous, especially in the face of injustice... Shen Qingru thought for a while, which special should he say first?

Shen Qingru finally believed that the sentence was called "thousands of wear, ten thousand wear, flattery don't wear". Her string of special hasn't been exported. Lord Huo's face is paralyzed. A faint smile has appeared on his face. The smile is just like the scenery of the Ji moon, moving people's hearts. Shen Qingru lost her mind for a while.

"I'm a special person to you?" Huo Qijun held his fist and put it on his lips, trying to hide a little emotion from the corners of his lips.

"Ah..." Shen Qingru was stunned and was about to speak, but he found that the corners of Lord Huo's mouth seemed to be bigger.

It turns out that no matter how cold people like to listen to flattery, no matter how noble people can't resist the power of flattery. Shen Qingru thought that flattery was regular and flattery was even more sloppy. Unexpectedly, a simple compliment melted the iceberg.

"This marquis is very special." Lord Huo dropped an inexplicable sentence and left with his hands on his back. His back seemed to take a hint of joy, leaving a messy Shen Qingru in the wind.

Well, after flattering for a long time, she was ready to inquire about Miss Xu from Lord Huo. Why did Lord Huo leave before she spoke?

Suxin lay quietly in bed, with a faint smile on her lips. She looked happily at the young master who poured tea for her.

Rich brocade but suddenly broke in, looking at Shen Jing'an who poured tea, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the young master."

Shen Jing'an nodded slightly, with a little embarrassment on his face. He was just in a hurry to send his unwell Suxin back to his room to rest, and didn't care about anything else. Now it seems that it is against etiquette for him to appear in the servant girl's room as a big man.

"You help me take good care of Suxin." Shen Jing'an ordered. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Jinxiu nodding. Then she took a few steps and walked out of Suxin's room.

Suxin looked at the figure that was about to disappear at the door. Unfortunately, today she found that the young master treated her well. If she had known that the young master was so considerate and gentle earlier, she would have begged the young master to keep her by her side, and she could have asked Qin's control earlier.

"Shameless little hooves, what are you looking at when people are far away!" rich brocade interrupted Suxin's meditation with a cold hum.

Su Xin lay on the bed without expression and didn't bother to look at Jinxiu. Several of Qin's confidants are as beautiful as this. They have no gullies and are stupid. The only one who can give advice to the Qin family is her skeptical person, but now even she regrets why she works for the Qin family.

If it hadn't been for a few liang of silver that my parents sold themselves to Mrs. Wu, one of the confidants of the Qin family, Mrs. Wu took her to honor the Qin family. If her brother had not gambled and owed hundreds of liang of silver, Qin would have paid off the gambling debt for her brother. She would not have been determined to stay with Qin and become a cow and horse for Qin.

If she had met the young master earlier... Su Xin thought expressionless, and a little sadness spread from the bottom of her heart.

"Little hoof, don't daydream there. Madam asked me to ask you when I can do what I told you?" rich brocade turned her eyes impatiently, and her tone was very impatient.

Suxin thought of the white porcelain vase with the cold and soft light. There was a little white powder in it. When Qin handed her this porcelain vase, her face was vicious and ferocious, like an evil ghost from hell, which made her have nightmares every night.

The white porcelain vase was lying under her pillow, and she could even feel the slight chill around the porcelain vase.

The Qin family told her that the porcelain bottle contained the secret medicine brought by Toutuo of the western regions. Qin's instruction to her was to take a little every day and mix it with Shen Jing'an's diet. Any skilled doctor can't see the toxicity of this medicine, but Shen Jingan's body will decline day after day.

Until death.

The advantage that the Qin family promised her was that after it was done, she could get back her deed of sale and become a free body from then on.

Suxin is a proud man. Although she is a slave, she has a higher heart than heaven. She thinks she is no worse than several young ladies in the house in terms of appearance and wit. Why should she be a slave all her life?

Therefore, Qin's promise was very tempting for her. Not only did she get free, but most of Qin would also send a large amount of gold and silver. Suxin can take this money to a strange place, or get married, or open a shop, or do business. It's better to be a slave now.

But now

Rich brocade sneered: "pheasants are pheasants, and they can't become Phoenix in any case. Slaves are slaves. Even if they are the top of slaves, they are still slaves. They can never be masters."

Suxin closed her eyes, clenched her hands under the quilt into fists, and said slowly with a half ring: "how is your wife going to send me to the young master's room?"

"Madam, the mountain people have their own tricks. You don't have to worry about them. As long as you remember your characters and know who your master is." Jinxiu smiled maliciously: "Madam also asked me to tell you that your parents have been received from Chuang Tzu, your brother's gambling debt has been paid off, and your sister-in-law and your children live with your parents and share the happiness of family. Therefore, you should consider who is your master."

Qin Shi took her parents, brother and sister-in-law to Chuang Tzu just to take them as hostages and threaten her. Suxin closed her eyes in despair, and a drop of clear tears slipped down and splashed on the pillow.

"I... know." she spits out these four words hard, buries her face in the pillow and sobs silently.
