Chapter 40 You are the second
"You don't have to be careful of me. I have no malice towards you. I just think..." Lan Yunjin looked into the sky in the distance, where a few white clouds floated there, and in the blue sky, it looked particularly pure!
Xiaotao still had no words, but just stared at him silently, waiting for his thoughts that drifted away with the clouds... to return!
After a stick of incense, Xiaotao felt that he was almost petrified. He still looked into the distance in a daze, as if he had forgotten that there was a living person who could breathe around him!
"That..." Xiaotao just started to start.
"Sorry!" Lan Yunjin suddenly realized, twisted her body slightly, avoided her and lowered her head!
But Xiaotao clearly saw that a crystal teardrop fell out of his eyes instantly and fell directly under the tree, leaving no trace on his face, as if it had never come!
What did this person think of? How could he be so trance and sad...
"No..." Xiaotao didn't expect that he didn't even act like a prince, and said sorry to himself as a slave as if he was an equal.
Moreover, he did not respect him from beginning to end, and he did not punish himself by speaking as a slave!
In this era, it is really a rare existence!
"I know you have no malice to me, so you have no barriers with you. Sitting on a tree to chat!" Xiaotao said his heart as he pleased.
Lan Yunjin looked at her and smiled slightly. Her handsome face, as bright as the warm sun, made the colorful flowers lose their color!
"You are the second person who dares to chat with me with the same thoughts and mentality as an ordinary person!" Lan Yunjin's face showed a look of nostalgia.
"That's a real honor!" Xiao Tao, the supporting actor, responded.
"Don't you ask who the first one is?" Lan Yunjin was obviously a little surprised. How did she suppress her curiosity and not gossip?
"Curiousness kills the cat. The more you know, the faster you die. My life is hard-won, so you must not be ruined at will!" Xiaotao looked like he cherished his life and I didn't want to know.
On the contrary, Lan Yunjin felt a little lonely and disappointed after hearing her words.
Xiaotao thinks that this second prince is like a woman, and it is hard to guess and not to mention it. Why is it still a bit sentimental?
My mind twitched a few times, and said mischievously, "But if you insist on saying it, then I can listen to it for now and forget what's going on?"
"Hmph..." Lan Yunjin laughed in a low voice.
He shook his head helplessly and sighed: "With your cautious appearance, who can guess that he is a person who came out of the fight slavery field!"
"How do you know..." Xiaotao looked at him in shock this time.
Since I returned to the Shangshu Mansion, I shouldn't... I have never told anyone that I have had such a dangerous experience since I was reborn in Chuanshu.
I also asked behind my back that the mysterious organization in the slave field, the boss behind the scenes, even stipulated that the specific identity of the contestants should not be exposed.
Just like when I was just saying that I was a maid in the Shangshu Mansion, I didn’t go to any Shangshu Mansion!
At night, I don’t know if it’s because the weather is too hot or Xiaotao is thinking about Lan Yunjin’s words during the day, but I don’t know how to deal with the relationship between Xi Yu and Shangguan Yuxuan, but in short, I tossed and turned and couldn’t fall asleep!
Lan Yunjin did not explain how he knew that he was the only one who came out alive among the fifty outlaws in the slavery field!
He didn't tell himself who the first person he said was! I guess he was a person he cared about very much...it was more likely to be the one he loved deeply!
Who is it? If a big man is sad, tears will fall inadvertently. I haven’t heard of any gossip and bloody news coming out of him!
I have even felt that he is very likely to suffer from depression. He is no different from a normal person in front of others, but when he is alone, he will definitely suffer in great pain, be discouraged in this world, and no desire to survive!
Later, Lan Yunjin briefly told himself that Xi Yu's grandfather was Xi Yuanzhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and their family was a loyal supporter of the eldest prince Lan Yunxuan from top to bottom.
Xi Yu was very smart when he was young. He practiced calligraphy at the age of two and could write poetry at the age of four. Although he was just the concubine's son of the second son, he was very favored by Xi Yuanzhi and often brought it into the palace. Later, he was arranged to be the fourth prince Lan Yunyi as his companion.
This also led to the fact that he was the only one in the family, Lan Yunyi. Do you think he could not be excluded and suppressed? Therefore, he was just a small idle editor in the Ministry of Revenue, and he had been depressed and unsuccessful in his life!
"It's really a fucking life!" Xiao Tao lay on the cold and hard bed and muttered.
I sighed at Xi Yu's tragic fate. It turned out that it was destined to be born. It was a waste of such a handsome and elegant person!
A small stone came in from the window and hit Xiaotao in perfect condition. Xiaotao was shocked and looked around. Everyone else was asleep and there was no sign of waking up.
After thinking for a while, Xiaotao still got up, put on a thin coat and left the side room where the servant lived, looking around, wanting to see who was his prank, or have other intentions?
"Hiss!" A small voice penetrated Xiaotao's ears, as if she was deliberately reminding her to pay attention here.
Xiaotao looked at him and saw a blurry black shadow hidden in the shadows in the corner of the wall.
"Who?!" Xiaotao lowered his voice and asked with caution.
"Bai Mu!" answered in two short words without any drag.
Xiaotao immediately changed his attitude and greeted him overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Xi Yu was quite reliable and really knew his life-savior Bai Mu.
The figure hiding in the shadow quietly walked out of the darkness, still the gray robe and cat-faced mask from the last time.
Xiao Tao looked at her suspiciously. If she said that she was in a mixed situation like the slave field last time, it would not be advisable to expose her identity.
But this time, he was the only one who was himself and him. Even if the candlelight was lit, he might not be able to see each other clearly at night. He was his benefactor, so why did he still wear a mask and not let himself see his appearance clearly?
If you admit the wrong person in the future, what if you repay the wrong kindness?
Xi Yu, who seemed to have guessed what Xiao Tao was thinking and didn't want to be exposed now, explained: "I don't want my family to know that I'm involved in gambling, so I'm wearing a mask. You won't mind!"
Xiaotao suddenly realized that it was true! There is no airtight wall in the world. If one person knows it, there will be more possibility that rumors will spread!
It’s not me, but maybe I’m a servant who is nearby. I saw it by chance, and it’s still a problem for me. It’s normal that he doesn’t want to cause trouble for himself!
"I don't mind as soon as you say that, human nature is understandable!" Xiao Tao said relievedly.
"Then do you really want to pay back my money when you asked Mr. Xi to find me this time?" Xi Yu asked knowingly.
"Yes, last time you said, how much is your principal?" Xiao Tao actually intended to prove his identity. She was afraid that Xi Yu would reveal her words and let those who are interested know about this matter, so she cheated her own money in the name of her benefactor.
However, Xi Yu mistakenly thought that she was not trustworthy. Now she has a lot of money in hand, but she can't bear to pay it out and just wants to pay back her principal.
"Ten taels!" Xi Yu's reply was filled with some coldness.
In fact, when I told her that she used ten taels of principal and won one thousand taels to redeem her, she was ready to pay her back only ten taels, or even not to pay it back, and used nine hundred and ninety taels to see a person clearly...
It's really expensive for me, but I still have no regrets about my choice!
However, it was because of her help today that I changed my mind a little bit, and I felt that she was not as unbearable as the Fourth Prince said. As a result... I'd better blame myself for being clumsy!
Forget it, just treat it as a reward for her helping her today!
Xiaotao knew the twists and turns in his heart!
After hearing his answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is still you, the honest person!"
As he said that, he took out the five hundred taels of silver notes he had carefully stored from his arms and handed them to him with both hands.
He promised with confidence: "My little Tao owes you the kindness I owe you will definitely be rewarded in the future, but what about that thousand taels of silver! I really don't have that much at the moment. Can you repay the five hundred taels first? When I have the money again, I will pay it back slowly. Please don't dislike Mr. Bai, but I will definitely not be able to pay it back!"
Xi Yu's figure in the darkness stumbled slightly, and suddenly felt that he was too narrow-minded? He even felt ashamed of his misunderstanding of her!
When did you not have the same broad mind as a girl?
"No?" Xiaotao felt nervous when he saw that he had not taken the silver bill. In his era, the old man owed money, and he would not say anything. If you chase the debt, it would be fine. People would be angry with you and pick on you!
I think I don’t have much or less! I always want to let people see that you are not a person who is dependent on your debts, but have the credit of being honest and trustworthy!
"Of course! I'm not in a hurry to use this silver. I was just thinking... Do you still have the silver in your hand? Do you want to leave some things to be anxious?" Xi Yu made an excuse to explain.
"No, if I use it urgently, I'll just borrow it from you. Don't keep it in my hands. The place where I live is so complicated. If it falls off accidentally, I won't feel sorry for you!" Xiaotao joked and refused.
Money is something! There are so many things you spend, and there are so few things you spend. I am still a slave now, so I have to listen to people's orders anytime and anywhere. I can't spare my money to make money, so I have to pay off my debts first!
"That's fine. My family is not very convenient. If there is anything, please let Xi Yu come to me. If you can help me, I will definitely help you!" Xi Yu blurted out loudly by her and made her debut.
"Then I thank Mr. Bai in advance!" Xiao Tao gave a slight salute.
The two of them chatted for a few moments. Seeing that the time was almost over, Xi Yu said goodbye to Xiaotao and used his light skills to jump over the wall and leave.
Yuan San looked at Xi Yu who was dressed in a strange manner and could not guess who this mysterious person was at all?
After thinking about it, I went back to Lan Yunyi's residence and reported the situation...
