Chapter 228 Prevention
"Okay, I'd like to have a look. If I find the sleeve cut by the dart from the sewing room, what else can I say?" Ye Ziqi is still unrelent.
"It's up to you, if you can find it." Manxiu smiled lightly and laboriously used his left hand to get some water from the well to prepare for the second bath in a day.
"Ah, look at my brain, I almost forgot that the sewing room is not far from the backyard of the kitchen. You are responsible for cutting firewood every day, and you are also the one who burns fire, but you were punished here early this morning. You should not have had time to burn the fire. Do you think it is possible that the sleeve has not had time to burn it?"
Man Xiu had no words to refute. Unexpectedly, he was all mentioned by Ye Ziqi. Time was tight, and he only cared about how the design concealed the search, but he really didn't have time to burn the real sleeve. Fortunately, the sleeve had been torn by him, tied to firewood like ordinary cloth strips. Only when he lit the fire today could justly burn the cloth strips to ashes, but before he could do so, Ye Ziqi had already guessed it.
"What, do you want me to check it?"
"Ha ha, I said that if you have evidence, you can denounce me. I'm already like this, and I don't care what's worse. However, I don't know whether the general will really let you get out of this slave's life as you wish, and even prosw the world, or will you see him as an accomplice and punish him?
Manxiu did not deny it, so can it be understood that he has acquiesced? Thinking of this, Ye Ziqi couldn't help smiling and said proudly, "Is that so? Then I really have to think about it!"
"What do you want?"
Even Ye Ziqi had to admit that Man Xiu's reaction was really fast enough to know that he wanted to make a deal with him here. As Man Xiu said, he didn't know the general's temper. What's more, the thief's clothes were his. When the crowd searched, he did not testify at the first time. Maybe he would even put his own life in, but it was not worth the loss. It's better to make some money and make a deal with Man Xiu.
"Ha ha, now I know why my brother is so partial to you. It turns out that you are really extraordinary!"
"I don't have anything now. I'm afraid I can't give you what you want."
"You can definitely do it. You know my brother's handwriting very well, right? Imitating his handwriting and writing a letter to my father, as long as I can restore the identity of my second son of the Ye family, I promise that only heaven knows you and me know this matter.
"It turns out that in addition to people, there will eventually be heaven and earth to know. It seems that if you want to cover up, you can't cover your ears and steal the bell."
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense here, one sentence, write, or not?"
"I don't write."
"What?" Ye Ziqi knew that Man Xiu was stubborn, but he didn't expect that he would refuse his deal so resolutely at this time. He couldn't help but be surprised.
"Ye Ziqi, the past is right and wrong. I don't want to argue with you here. But I don't know why you have come to this situation today, but you should know it yourself. Don't you say that Master Ye will not restore your identity as the second son of the Ye family because of a letter from Ye Zilian. Even so, do you really think you will be so worry-free? He Jinlan, Ye Zilian, Master Ye, including me, do you really think that these grudges can be resolved with just a fake letter? The reason why I'm still here to talk to you well is that I'm grateful to you for saving Ye Zilian's life. I think you still miss your family affection and are not hopeless. If you really want to restore your identity as the second son of the Ye family and really want to be down-to-earth, I suggest you reflect on the mistakes made in the past and sincerely beg the Ye family for forgiveness. I believe that they will accept you who sincerely repent.
"I don't need you to teach me how to do it! Aren't you afraid that as a result of your uncooperation, you will die miserably first?"
"I'm afraid. But I have no regrets about everything I have done. As for the matter now, no matter what you do, I will respect your choice and will never blame you. Because it's my own negligence. Although I'm a little sorry, after all, I tried my best..."
Man Xiu's last words were obviously a little melancholy, and he did not express his regret, but Ye Ziqi was inexplicably saddened by this faint sadness. What's wrong with him?
"What on earth are you doing this for?"
"Everyone has a scale in their hearts, knowing what is worth doing and what is not worth doing. What I did was worth it."
"Including being beaten like this today?"
"If there is any other way, I will definitely not choose this. I have chosen and have no regrets.
"Take a shower and change your clothes!"
Man Xiu looked at Ye Ziqi and said nothing more. It seems that Ye Ziqi gave up his so-called transaction, but will he betray him because of this? ......
Ye Ziqi went to the sewing room. During this period, he took a shower, cleaned the wound, and changed his clothes.
When I saw Ye Ziqi again, he was a little disgraced and coughed repeatedly. Man Xiu smiled. It seemed that Ye Ziqi had finished all the unfinished work this morning for himself. The bloody sleeves were burned, and it can be said that there is no longer any worries. Although he didn't know why Ye Ziqi helped him, he always felt that the depressed Ye Ziqi seemed to have changed a lot than before. He even began to like Ye Ziqi. It should be said that he liked him a little since he knew that Ye Ziqi saved Ye Zilian.
And when Ye Ziqi came back to see everything in front of him, there was an obvious trace of surprise on his face, but then he returned to calm. I said, there must be a spare key..."
"Are you all right? Do you still need to wait for you for a long time?" Uncle Wang's impatient voice appeared in the stable again, and obviously, he didn't hear Ye Ziqi's words to say to himself, but when he saw the needle and thread in Ye Ziqi's hand and the well-reserved trousers, he said, "I can't see that you boy's needlework is quite neat..."
Ye Ziqi completely lost his words. What kind of look is this? When will he go through the needle and thread?
Man Xiu was taken away, and Ye Ziqi stood there for a long time. When he remembered that he had just run to the kitchen and took the initiative to help burn the fire, or more precisely, he took the initiative to help burn the evidence, he sighed unconsciously. He really didn't know whether he was stupid or stupid!
A few days later, Man Xiu knelt in Zhou Xinran's house again. She is still so elegant and magnificent.
For a long time, Zhou Xinran didn't say a word. The room was surprisingly quiet.
My legs are getting more and more numb, but I dare not relax at all. Is this psychological warfare? Who will be the messenger who dominates the ups and downs of the whirlpool under tranquility?
"This dress..." After a long time, Zhou Xinran said three words. Man Xiu didn't know what he meant, but he was sincerely nervous. Could it be that there is something wrong with this dress? Didn't Uncle Wang throw it to himself? Is it possible to show the blood clumped arm and stain Zhou Xinran's eyes? Could it be that he was seen when he took the risk of opening the chain again in order to change his clothes? That's self-confirmation again and again, and no one else dares to do it!
All kinds of speculation surged into his mind, but Man Xiu chose not to reply, but supported his hands to the ground and obediently bent down, as an apology, as if waiting for Zhou Xinran's punishment.
"From today on, you will be here to serve."
After hearing this voice after a long time, a trace of consterrenness flashed on Manxiu's face close to the ground, and then his eyebrows also frowned and frowned. Which one did Zhou Xinran sing? Is it that you doubt yourself, but there is no evidence that bind yourself to her? Or is there something else?
The boudoir of an unmarried lady, this lady, or the daughter of the second-grade Ma Shuai today, is the nominal owner of Qin Manxiu. What is the purpose of giving such an order?
Don't you really treat him as a human being? But he is still a man after all. I'm afraid it's not wise for her to stay in the lady's boudoir.
"Didn't you understand what I said?" Seeing that Man Xiu was still lying on the ground, Zhou Xinran said coldly.
"Master, please be kind."
"Oh?" Zhou Xinran really didn't expect that Man Xiu would beg her to beg for mercy, so he looked at Man Xiu kneeling on the ground with great interest. Kai En? Don't you think it's a kindness for me to keep you here?"
"Man Xiu knew that he was humble in Zhou Prefecture and made a lot of mistakes. He only asked the master to let go of Man Xiu."
"Thus, why don't I let you go?"
"This is the lady's boudoir. No matter how slave Man Xiu is, he is still a man. As the old saying goes, how can men and women ruin a young lady's reputation because of mangment?
"You don't naively think that I will have something to do with you, right?" Zhou Xinran said with a sneer as if he had heard an incredible joke.
"Of course not. Miss has always been thoughtful about things, so she is afraid that she will choose the way of the harem..."
"Haha..." It took a long time before Zhou Xinran's laughing voice came from the high seat. Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard so far! The way of the harem, haha! Do you think I'm going to turn you into a real eunuch? Hahahaha!"
What do you think? Man Xiu doesn't think so, but if he doesn't say so, it is inevitable that Zhou Xinran will poison him, which is called prevention.
"Come on!"
Shen Yuncheng came in outside the house. Obviously, he didn't know what made Zhou Xinran laugh, and he didn't know that there would be the word "laughter" between Zhou Xinran and Qin Manxiu.
" Shen Yuncheng, do you know? He was actually afraid that I would call him to serve him in order to turn him into a real eunuch! Haha, that's ridiculous! But why didn't I think of it?"
The last half of the sentence made Man Xiu's heart rise to his throat. Seeing Man Xiu's nervous appearance, Zhou Xinran held his belly again.
"Go and lock the chain for him... No, it's so funny."
Only then did Man Xiu notice that Shen Yuncheng was holding a long chain in his hand.
After Zhou Xinran gave the order, Shen Yuncheng jumped into the air and pressed a hidden button high on the wall. A wall would automatically open! And behind the wall, there is actually a secret room!
Shen Yuncheng entered the secret room and locked one end of the chain in his hand on the top of an iron cage in the secret room, and the other end was locked on Manxiu's neck with some embarrasment. The length, according to visual measurements, should have just been long enough to walk around the house, but it is the farthest, but it can't touch the bedside or the threshold of the house.
In order to insult him, Zhou Xinran took great pains!
Next, what Shen Yuncheng did surprised Manxiu even more. He actually slowly poured lead into the lock hole, which means that no matter how good he is, he can't open the chain without a lock hole. My heart is so cold, even a little desperate!
"Originally, slaves are meant to stay by their side, not to mention that you are still such a special slave! In the future, you don't have to sleep in the stable, just sleep there. How about it? I'm kind enough for you, right? Zhou Xinran's finger is in the direction of the iron cage in the secret room. Do you really regard him as a beast? Zhou Xinran, don't regret it. Qin Manxiu will get this revenge one day!
"As for this chain, it's purely for prevention. I don't think you'll mind!"
Prevention?!
