Chapter 4: Bringing chestnuts out of the fire for him

Xiao Yi loosened his teeth.

The girl's right hand was bleeding, and the worst thing was that her little finger was a little bloody and fuzzy.

He wiped the blood stains from the corners of his lips with satisfaction, "You can go and complain to your grandmother."

Nan Baoyi hugged her hands tremblingly, crying so hard that she was filled with rain, "If you don't complain to your grandmother, I am, I am willing to take care of my second brother!"

Dingling... Dinglingling...

She was so afraid of Xiao Yi, and she trembled fiercely. Every time she said a word, the small bell hanging around her waist would make Xiao Yi feel impatient.

He stretched out his hand and pinched the valuable gold and silver bell without any pity.

Nan Baoyi shrank his neck, thinking that it would be so easy for him to pinch him to death.

The room became quiet, and only the sound of the night rain was far away.

Nan Baoyi looked at the ugly and flat bell for a while and suddenly sobbed: "This is what my brother gave it to me..."

"Go and complain."

Nan Baoyi's pronunciation is difficult: "No, don't complain...I, I will love my second brother..."

It's so difficult, she's so difficult!

It’s really hard to care for Xiao Yi, it’s even harder than caring for Nan Yan!

Xiao Yi sat down with his knees, tapped his fingertips, looked at her bloody little hand, and asked playfully, "Your hand is so injured, how do you explain it after you go back?"

"I bit it myself..." Nan Baoyi whispered in a low voice.

Xiao Yi sneered and his eyes fell on the corner of the bedroom.

There was a stove of fiery red charcoal.

He supported his chin with one hand, "There is a word called "take chestnuts from the fire". People laughed at the cat for being stupid and risked burns to get chestnuts for the monkey, but he gained nothing. Little did they know that most people in the world were that stupid cat."

Nan Baoyi blinked.

Xiao Yi suddenly looked at her, "Are you here to confess tonight?"

Nan Baoyi was obedient, "I used to be sorry for my second brother. As apologize, as long as my second brother likes me, I am willing to do anything for my second brother!"

"Anything?"

The girl nodded like pounding garlic.

Xiao Yi's thin lips curled gently, as if he saw the moon with a clear cloud, and his handsomeness was almost a monster.

Nan Baoyi was stunned.

This is the first time he smiled at her in his past and present lives.

Sure enough, pleasing Xiao Yi is the right move!

Before he could be glad, Xiao Yi said lazily: "Then let's get the chestnuts from the charcoal fire for my brother. It's almost done, and it's just for a midnight snack."

Nan Baoyi's breathing stagnated!

She looked at the stove. The charcoal fire was burning strongly, but there were no small tongs next to her. Should she take it directly with her hands?

She looked at Xiao Yi in tears, and the other party raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you say, are you willing to do anything?"

Nan Baoyi hesitated, "Will the second brother be happy after taking the chestnut?"

"Yes, I like to eat chestnuts."

Nan Baoyi squatted beside the stove, staring at the burning charcoal in a daze.

After a while, she turned to look at Xiao Yi. The other party had already put on his clothes. The ink-colored wide sleeves and robe hem covered the entire wooden couch, which set off his cold white skin and handsome appearance. There was a sense of evil stunning under the lights.

He looked at himself quietly, without any intention of asking her to stop.

Nan Baoyi closed her eyes tremblingly.

Just take it. If you hurt one hand, you can get the protection of powerful ministers. It is worth it compared to the tragic previous life!

With a firm heart, my delicate little hand with blood reached into the charcoal fire.

Xiao Yi was slightly stunned.

He leaned up and sat back slowly after not knowing what he thought of.

"Sir" sounded, and the flames licked the girl's blood and flesh. Nan Baoyi fell to the ground in pain, her little face twisted into a ball, but she still insisted on searching for chestnuts in the charcoal fire.

Every moment became unbearable. She finally grabbed two hot ripe chestnuts, held them firmly in the palm of her hand, turned to the wooden couch like offering treasures, her voice almost hoarse: "Second brother, chestnut..."

Xiao Yi looked at her.

The girl's clothes were messy and covered with dust, her white and tender face was gray and tearful, and her bitten hand was so hot that it was covered with blood blisters. Even the white bones could be seen faintly, but she grabbed the chestnuts tightly.

He stayed, squatted down on one knee in front of the girl, his big palm over her little head, and his eyes were explored, "Nan Baoyi, what exactly do you want to do?"

Nan Baoyi's lips were chapped and could not answer his question.

The fright and pain that she suffered tonight was far beyond the load of this young body. Xiao Yi gradually appeared in her eyes. She was shaking and finally fainted with overwhelming feeling.

Xiao Yi looked at the little girl lying in his arms.

"Sweet."

He disliked her very much, but he didn't push her away like in the daytime.

When he picked up the small white porcelain jar, he didn't understand it, "Jiang Suihan is a good idea to make money."

He threw the small white jar outside the window and took out a black porcelain jar from the trunk. The jar was inscribed with five small gold-drawn seal characters "Flower Face Broken Jade Paste".

He dug out a large piece of ointment and applied it expressionlessly on Nan Baoyi's hand.

...

The sky-blue curtain is embroidered with silver thread and lotus.

Nan Baoyi opened her eyes in a daze, and she waited for a long time before she could get back to her mind.

This body is too delicate and not only can't bear too much physical load, but even the brain cannot be as bright as it did when I grew up in my previous life.

Although my previous life was not considered a brilliant light.

She let out a small sigh, and the Heye, who was guarding the room, hurriedly picked up the tent, "Miss is awake. Your hand is injured and you are stained with the cold. You have been lying for two days and two nights! The old lady and the second lady felt so distressed that they came to see you several times. By the way, the eldest lady and the fourth lady have also come and sent a lot of flower cakes and fruits."

Nan Baoyi was helped to sit up, her eyes were full of snobbery, and she actually slept for two days and two nights...

Noting the little hands wrapped in rice dumplings, she suddenly remembered that she was still in the loquat yard two days ago.

She asked hurriedly, "Where is the second brother?"

Heiye brought the bird's nest porridge, scooped it up with a small golden spoon, and put it on her mouth. "Two days ago, he brought the girl back. The old lady asked him why you were hurt, but he said he didn't know. The old lady was very angry and punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall to copy scriptures. Well, he has been kneeling for two days."

Nan Baoyi is stuffy.

She obviously wanted to please her second brother, but why did she always make trouble?

He is the emperor's teacher. He is famous for his narrow-mindedness and vengeance. He knelt down and copied the scriptures these two days. As a result, she took Li from the fire and wasted it was in vain!

She climbed down with difficulty, "I'm going to see my second brother..."

She was small, and Heye easily carried her back to the couch and said with a stern face: "Miss, you can't be willful anymore. The second young master is so scary. People in the mansion don't like him. Why do you want to get close to him... Be good, eat this bowl of bird's nest porridge first."

Nan Baoyi had white and tender cheeks, so he had to eat porridge obediently.

Finally finished her porridge, she touched her bulging belly, pulled Heye's sleeve, and acted coquettishly intimately: "I want to see my grandmother."

He Ye thought about it, looked out the endless spring rain outside the window, and brought a rouge red cloak to wrap her body, "It's cold outside, I accompany the girl to Songheyuan."

Nan Baoyi looked at her.

He Ye is only two years older than her, she is handsome and tall, and is very loyal to protecting her master.

He seemed to notice her gaze and lowered his head and smiled gently at her.

Nan Bao's nose is sore.

In her previous life, Nan Yan entered the Cheng family and mastered the gifts from the Cheng family. She deducted her food and clothing. She didn't even have a quilt to protect her from the cold on the snowy days. It was He Ye who voluntarily married the stupid son of the Cheng family housekeeper, and then she exchanged for the silver to buy the quilt.

Later, the lotus leaf was pushed into the dry well by the fool and starved to death.

When she found the dry well, the walls were covered with blood marks from the lotus leaves in despair.

Nan Baoyi leaned her cheek gently against her arm, and tears rolled down.

In this life, when she grows up, she must find a good marriage for He Ye so that she can have a full meal every day...
