Leng Qingyan was stunned for a moment. Then he remembered that he was wearing a human skin mask on his face. He smiled awkwardly and said, "for some reasons, it's not a big thing. Grandpa, it's getting late. Please rest early!"
Leng Qingyan then saluted the head of the Xiao family and left the house.
Clan leader Xiao looked at Leng Qingyan's back. Just now he found Leng Qingyan's eyes dodging. It seems that she has something to say.
"Yinghong!" clan leader Xiao shouted out, and a dark shadow flashed in from the window.
"My subordinate Yinghong has seen the master!" the shadow respectfully saluted the head of the Xiao family and said.
"You've just seen it! That's your future master Xiao. From today on, you follow her all the time. If you have anything to report to me, you can't show up until it's dangerous."
"Yes, my subordinates!"
——
In the dead of night, Leng Qingyan returned to the servant's room in the dark. She thought those slaves should have fallen asleep long ago. Who knew that the light in the servant's room was still on. She walked slowly into the door.
"Xiaoqing, where have you been?" a maid several years younger than Leng Qingyan stared at Leng Qingyan and asked.
"You are not the master, and I still need to report your whereabouts to you..." Leng Qingyan saw Xiao Xinya sitting in the servant's room drinking tea before she finished her words.
"I'm going to say hello to the imperial concubine and empress!" Leng Qingyan quickly walked to Xiao Xinya and knelt down and said.
"You're so arrogant! I should have asked my mother to wait for you for a long time!" Xiao Xinya didn't speak with a smile on her face. The sister-in-law beside her directly criticized Leng Qingyan.
Leng Qingyan nodded and looked frightened. Now she must be patient. She clenched her teeth and squeezed out a decent smile before she dared to look up and say to xiaoxinya: "your imperial concubine, please forgive me. My maidservant ate a fruit secretly at the dinner party before she got upset. It's been a long time for you to wait. What's your order?"
Leng Qing Yan's humble and polite attitude made Xiao Xinya unable to teach a lesson. Xiao Xinya put down her tea cup, looked up at Leng Qing Yan and said, "the master of the house sees you. You clean up and hurry to serve me."
Xiao Xinya looked Leng Qingyan up and down when she spoke. She didn't understand how people like the owner liked this humble girl. After saying that, she got up and went outside.
"Maidservant, I'd like to send you to the imperial concubine." Leng Qingyan and a room of maids knelt down to salute.
Concubine Xiao has gone far. Leng Qingyan slowly gets up. What concubine Xiao said just now makes her a little confused.
Why does Xiao Chenxu want to see himself? Obviously, it's just a chance! What medicine does Xiao Chenxu gourd sell?
Shook his head, Leng Qingyan no longer thought about it. No matter what he meant by Xiao Chenxu, he just cleaned up and went outside.
"Xiaoqing!" Xiaoe called Leng Qingyan.
"Sister xiao'e, you can rest assured that nothing will happen. I'll be back soon!" Leng Qingyan said with a reassuring smile to xiao'e.
"I'll go with you! The master said that the Xiao family master is not easy to get along with. I'm not at ease if you go alone." xiao'e frowned and looked at Leng Qingyan.
"Sister xiao'e, don't worry! Who am I? I'm not so easy to bully. Have a rest! I'll come back as soon as I wake up!" Leng Qingyan said and left.
——
Xiao Chenxu sat quietly in front of the bed, looked up at the moon and asked, "is anyone here?"
"Report back to the master, you haven't come yet!" Xiao Chenxu's entourage replied for the nth time.
Haven't come yet. The little maid's shelf is really big!
Xiao Chenxu's entourage is called Xiao Nu, which means the servant of the Xiao family. Although the name doesn't sound good, the whole Xiao family doesn't dare to be presumptuous when they see Xiao nu. Those who can call Xiao Nu are close to the Xiao family owner and the people who serve him personally. Generally, Xiao Nu is next to the family owner. When he goes home, he just goes to the palace to check things, So he didn't know what happened to Xiao Chenxu when he entered the Palace last time.
I only know that Xiao Chenxu was in a good mood after he came back from the palace. He seemed as happy as he hadn't seen the owner for a long time!
"Da Da Da" a burst of footsteps came from far and near. Xiao Chenxu suddenly turned around and saw a maid in Blue Palace dress standing at the door. He narrowed his eyes and said, "come in!"
Leng Qingyan walked slowly into the door, walked to Xiao Chenxu, respectfully saluted him and said, "my maid Qing'er has seen the master."
"Qinger girl, sit down!" Xiao Chenxu sat on the master's chair and motioned Leng Qingyan to sit opposite him with his eyes.
"Maidservant dare not!" Leng Qingyan lowered his head and dared not look up at him.
"The master asked you to sit down and sit down. Miss Qingyan and the master didn't need to see each other." Xiao Chenxu took a cup of tea and took a sip.
Leng Qingyan looked at Xiao Chenxu in shock. "You... You know me?"
The leader of the Xiao family even knows himself. He has changed his appearance! How could he know his true identity? There is only one possibility. He sent someone to monitor himself!
"Our master not only knew you, but also gave you candy. Have you forgotten? Our master sent you a bag of sugar beans! Hehe" Xiao Chenxu put down his tea cup and looked at Leng Qingyan in a good mood.
Sugar beans!
Leng Qingyan bowed his head and meditated for a moment. It seemed that some vague pictures appeared in his mind, and a dirty face jumped into his mind···
"You... You are the dirty doll!" Leng Qingyan said, pointing to Xiao Chenxu.
Xiao Chenxu smelled that Yan's face was slightly hot and coughed dry. He motioned Xiao Nu to step back. Although Xiao Nu was curious about the past of the owner, the owner obviously didn't want to let him know! He had to step back.
"Sit down!" said Xiao Chenxu, adjusting his mood.
Leng Qingyan knew that he was the boy who often came to Leng's house when she was a child, so she sat down at will.
"Dirty baby, how did you become the owner of the house? I remember you were scarred before. I didn't expect you to look so good. What medicine was used to treat the wound on your face!"
"Cough! Miss Qingyan, don't call me this nickname again. I'm the owner of the Xiao family now. I'm ashamed of you calling me that!" said Xiao Chenxu with an embarrassed face.
"How did you become the master of the house? Weren't you sick before? How can you get well?" Leng Qingyan asked.
"You seem to have changed a lot!" Xiao Chenxu looked at Leng Qingyan lightly and said. He remembered the vigilant look of Leng Qingyan when he first saw her when he was a child. He will never forget that look. Moreover, she doesn't like to get along with people. She hasn't seen this girl for ten years. She has grown up and looks so beautiful.
"People always change! You haven't said how you became the master!" Leng Qingyan said.
Xiao Chenxu frowned and said, "did you look down on me before? I didn't become the Lord for you! Do you remember what you said before?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You said that if one day I was strong enough to take you away, you would marry me. How can you forget?"
"Leng Qingyan was silent. Did he say that? She couldn't remember it for a long time.
"You forgot?"
"I was too young at that time. What I said was just a joke. I had a high fever when I entered the palace at the age of 10, and I forgot a lot of things." Leng Qingyan explained.
