This yard is separated from her residence by a corridor, and when Xu Nian walked here on weekdays, he had never seen him appear here.

"How is your recovery?"

Bearing in mind the principle of not running into him unless it was unnecessary, Xu Nian really didn't care about him since he was arranged in the mansion.

Qi Chu said, "Miss is so kind to me, so naturally she recovers quickly."

His complexion improved, and there was indeed a figure of King Yu from the previous life in it.

Xu Nian glanced over his face, paused, and said, "You don't need to clean the water pavilion behind, you don't need to go there."

This road only leads to the water pavilion, and if she can meet him head-on, it can only be where he wants to go.

And over there...

Although he knew that he was not Qi Chu, and nothing would happen if he met him, but Xu Nian's fear of this face was deeply rooted, and it was difficult to correct it for a while.

Qi Chu's eyes were unclear, and she answered. Just when Xu Nian was about to go back, she suddenly stopped her:

"Miss."

That shout was strange, but the words were too short, so short that she couldn't grasp the emotions in it.

Xu Nian turned her eyes sideways, she was a little tired today, and she was less energetic than before.

Qi Chu suddenly took a few steps closer and raised his hand. Xu Nian noticed his movement and stepped back almost in a panic, staring at him closely: "What are you going to do?"

Her voice trembled, and the familiar fear appeared in her eyes again.

Qi Chu's hands paused, and then just took off the dead leaves that fell from her shoulders.

He retreated to the original position, looked at Xu Nian boldly, and asked, "Miss seems to be very afraid of me?"

Fear, timidity, killing intent, intolerance, and guilt all come from the same pair of eyes.

Every time see him, these emotions are not fixed.

At first, he suspected that this woman was also sent by Qi Xuan to deceive him into killing him, but Wu Zheng told him that Qi Xuan had no relationship with Duke Teng's mansion.

Besides, such a delicate and delicate person like her is like the most fragile flower, which can be broken when the wind blows, how can she kill someone.

Xu Nian didn't expect him to see it. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately explained: "I was just startled by your sudden appearance for no reason. I was afraid of what you would do."

"yes?"

The two words were spoken lightly and slowly, and couldn't even understand the tone.

But Xu Nian added another sentence trying to cover up: "Besides, if I was very afraid of you, why would I save you three times and four times, and bring you back to the mansion."

As soon as she lied, her speech speed would involuntarily increase, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface, with her eyes tightly waiting to see his reaction.

"That's right," Qi Chu met her gaze without any flaws, "It's Lu Zhi's wild imagination."

Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could get out completely, he suddenly raised his eyes again and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of me, it's that I'm bored of Lu Zhi, Miss, doesn't like to see me?"

What a shrewd fox.

"Why do you ask that?" Xu Nian felt that his mouth was parched.

She felt that what she did was not obvious.

Qi Chu glanced at her vaguely, and said: "Since Miss got the news of Master Mi Deng from me that day, she has never seen me again. Where I am, there is no Miss."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Nian actually saw a little bit of grievance in those eyes.

His voice continued, "Miss didn't even ask about my injury, and today I asked perfunctorily, as if she was afraid that I would pester Miss."

Xu Nian was dumbfounded, she never thought that King Yu would look like this when he was young.

She was in a complicated mood for a while, and she didn't know where the complaint in these words came from after reacting for a long time.

"Lu Zhi, I just took you in to recuperate in the mansion, and I didn't take you in as my person. There is no need to worry about these things."

It's weird to say the least.

Qi Chu was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "So after I recover from my injury, the lady will drive me away?"

King Yu, you were so difficult when you were young!

Xu Nian could only keep his face as steady as a mountain, and said to him: "Don't you have anything else you want to do? Since you can survive in such a situation, you are naturally blessed by the heavens, and maybe you will be able to do better in the future." Don’t you think it’s a pity to confine yourself to the Duke’s mansion for a great achievement?”

Xu Nian just didn't say, wake up, there is a limit to hiding your identity, do you really think that I don't know that you will be a prince at worst in the future?

Besides, how can you waste your time on cleaning now, you have to grow up quickly, you have to develop your own power, I still look forward to one day you can help me kill Qi Chu!

"Lu Zhi said that he wanted to repay Miss for saving her life." He struggled for a while, and finally said, "Miss, please keep me by your side. If you haven't thought of what you want me to do at this time, think about it later, Lu Knowing can also be called at any time."

He stood aside with his head bowed, as if he was listening to her arrangements.

Xu Nianhu asked: "Then you have nothing else to worry about?"

No way, no way, I thought you were out of control because you were down to this point. Could it be that you didn't want to compete with your brothers at all.

Qi Chu said: "Miss is the most important thing for Lu Zhi."

Xu Nian felt a headache, so he glanced at him indescribably, and could only comfort him first, "I'll talk about these things later, you heal your injury first, and then I'll discuss with you about whether to stay or not."

After finishing speaking, she walked forward without looking back, afraid that he would say something that would shock her again.

How can you be so ignorant of the sense of urgency?

If this continues, your face and hands will still be separated.

And behind her, Qi Chu watched her disappear in front of his eyes, and there had never been any waves in his faint eyes.

According to the news that Wu Zheng found, since she and Qi Xuan don't know each other, she can take advantage of her.

Now that he has returned to Yandu, he will start to arrange the game of chess properly.

When Xu Nian returned to the house, Chi Yanyu could no longer be on her mind. When she thought that Qi Xuan had no intention of going back, she felt hopeless.

"Lian Tang, are you sure you watched carefully, he never showed any unusual behavior?"

Lian Tang shook her head, and said affirmatively: "The maidservant and Kang Yi are watching over for Miss. He is doing his job peacefully. He returns to the side courtyard after completing the errands assigned to him. He has never even left the gate of the mansion."

The more Xu Nian listened, the more dignified he became. So casual, he gave up before even arguing?

After thinking carefully for a while, she said, "Go and tell Kang Yi that you don't have to follow him anymore. By the way, tell the concierge that if he wants to go out in the future, just write it down and report to me, and you don't need to stop him."

During this period of time, people stared at him mainly because they were afraid that he would be detrimental to the Duke's government, but he didn't do anything, and Xu Nian panicked even more.

If there is anyone in this world who can deal with Qi Chu, it must be his elder brother, a compatriot of the same mother, and the starting point is the same.

As long as he is not soft-hearted when attacking Qi Chu in the future, she can be the first opportunity.

Thinking of this, Xu Nian suddenly said, "Go and help me find a ladder."

He should still be cleaning in the yard next door, and she is going to see for herself what is going on with this man.
