"Knock, knock, knock!
Knock, knock, knock! "
Li Xiao knocked on the door next door again. Although she was imagining countless horrible scenes in her mind, she couldn't stay calm and watch.
Who killed Wang Yi?
Was there someone else in his room?
Also … was it an illusion that she saw a wriggling mass of black through the crack in the door?
Li Xiao pursed her lips and suddenly wanted to retreat.
But just as she withdrew her fist, the dark red door suddenly opened.
Wang Yi was stunned to see her again. He raised his eyebrows and looked around behind her. "What's wrong?"
Li Xiao was suddenly bombarded with questions. Her whole person was stunned. It took her a while to recover, but she couldn't find a reason to knock on the door. "I … I …"
"Do you need any help?"
He looked at Li Xiao's hesitant appearance and the doubtful look on his face softened. He bent down slightly to be at the same height as her and asked patiently.
He was really a good person. He was careful and gentle.
"I … I want to borrow a table!"
Li Xiao anxiously pressed the door. The moment she opened her mouth, she didn't think of anything else. When Wang Yi was cut open, he seemed to be leaning against a table.
Wang Yi was stunned. No matter how gentle a person was, he would be shocked by 'borrowing a table'. His expression seemed to say: Are you playing with me?
Li Xiao opened her mouth awkwardly, but couldn't say anything.
If her face wasn't covered by a cloth, she would have looked silly.
She hesitated. Although she wanted to pull Wang Yi out and let him leave the room, how could she persuade him?
Could she just tell him that "you're going to die soon"?
Would he think that she was a loathsome little lunatic?
She touched the three copper coins in her sleeves again. Should she tell him that she knew how to read fortunes and use her old method to cover up the fact that she had a strange ability and pretend that she had divined that he would be in danger?
"Big Brother Wang, I know the Six Lines Divination Technique. I can see your glabella hair …"
Thinking of this, Li Xiao simply said what she was used to saying.
The table … it's better not to borrow the table.
However, before she could finish speaking, Wang Yi's gaze suddenly fell behind her, toward the mouth of the alleyway, and he frowned.
Before Li Xiao could react, Wang Yi had already grabbed Li Xiao's wrist and dragged Li Xiao into the courtyard.
In the next moment, a bang rang out, and the dark-red lacquered door closed again — behind Li Xiao!
"Big Brother Wang …" Li Xiao had just opened his mouth when Wang Yi put his index finger to his lips and whispered, "Shh …"
Wang Yi also seemed to have just realized that he had dragged Li Xiao in. He frowned and hesitated.
Li Xiao widened her eyes and stared at the dark-red door in front of her. She suddenly clenched her fists and her body trembled slightly.
Could it be that Wang Yi was actually a big bad guy with a kind face but an evil heart?
After a few seconds, Wang Yi only stared at the door nervously and didn't attack or hurt Li Xiao. Only then did the unusual fluctuations caused by Li Xiao calm down.
Like Wang Yi, Li Xiao widened her eyes and stared at the door in front of her. In the end, what was on the other side of the door?
The sky was getting darker and darker. The golden and red rays of the setting sun gradually disappeared. All that was left was the afterglow and the expanding darkness under the afterglow.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The door was suddenly knocked. Li Xiao was scared and shivered. Wang Yi also frowned and sighed silently.
He patted Li Xiao's shoulder. When Li Xiao looked at him, he pointed to a pile of waste water tanks in the yard.
Although Li Xiao was timid, she was very smart. She immediately understood and ran to the water tanks and hid in the shadow between the tanks and the wall.
"Wang Yi!
Open the door! "A man's voice came from outside the door. It was loud and rude, showing that this person was reckless and impulsive.
Wang Yi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Who is it?"
"Liu Yunan!" The man outside the door said with anger. He was the youngest son of the famous Qingliu House of Liu in the capital.
The eldest son of the House of Liu used to be an assistant to six subjects. He died of illness and left his widow, Liu Fang Clan.
There were only two sons in this generation of the Liu Family. Now, Liu Yunan was the only one left.
Wang Yi raised his eyebrows inside the door. He seemed to be full of worries and worries. He obviously had a strong appearance, but he showed such a helpless expression. Li Xiao, who was hiding in the shadow, couldn't help but feel pity for him.
Wang Yi, this young man, seemed to have an indescribable charm. It was a contrast with his appearance. It belonged to the charm of a man.
"Open the door!
Why are you dilly-dallying?
I know what you're hiding in this yard! "The man knocked on the door three times.
Wang Yi's hand pressed on the door. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something. He turned his head and looked at the room behind him.
Li Xiao also followed his gaze. She saw a pregnant woman standing at the door. She held the door frame and looked at Wang Yi with a face full of fear.
If she was an acquaintance in the capital circle, she would recognize at a glance that this woman was Liu Yunan's widow sister-in-law, Liu Fang Clan. Her name was Fang Qiong.
Wang Yi hurriedly waved his hand silently. Liu Fang Clan turned around and hid in the room.
Li Xiao had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were filled with affection. Her palm-sized face was filled with a delicate expression, but … she was too charming and enchanting. Even though her lower abdomen was slightly swollen, her movements were still soft and pitiful.
He … he was hiding a pregnant woman in his room???
She touched the empty water jar and turned her head to look at Wang Yi. Suddenly, she glanced at the shadow of the yard. It seemed that there was a black mass moving in the shadow of the yard.
She suddenly turned her head and looked at the moving shadow. She saw that except for the chairs and small tables in the yard, there was only darkness. There was no one.
Probably because she was nervous, she saw wrongly.
"If you don't open the door, I will jump over the wall!" The person seemed to take two steps toward the wall. His footsteps were particularly loud.
At this time, a sound came from the top of the wall facing the alley.
Li Xiao looked carefully and saw a person standing on the top of the wall. It was obviously the person who jumped up from the alley.
Liu Yunan was dressed in dark green casual clothes and short boots. He looked very neat and energetic.
His long hair was tied into a bun with a silver hairpin.
He stood upright on the top of the wall. The breeze blew through his hair. His long eyebrows and long face made him look particularly heroic.
If it weren't for the restlessness in his eyes, the frown between his eyebrows, and the droop of his mouth, he would also be a very handsome and good-looking person.
She hurriedly hid behind the water jar. Fortunately, night had fallen and the yard was gray. Liu Yunan, who was on the top of the wall, only stared at Wang Yi. He didn't look in her direction and didn't notice her at all.
"Ah Nan …" Wang Yi raised his head and frowned.
Liu Yunan responded and jumped down from the top of the wall. He landed steadily in the courtyard.
Wang Yi's courtyard wasn't very luxurious. There was green grass, fake mountains, and a cobblestone path. The courtyard was neither big nor small.
At this moment, Liu Yunan landed on the green grass. Behind him was a unique stone table and stone stool.
There was even a pot of tea and two purple clay teacups on the stone table. Obviously, someone was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting.
Liu Yunan only glanced at the tea table. The anger on his face became even stronger.
Who was drinking tea at the stone table?
Sister-in-law and Wang Yi?
Seeing this, Wang Yi took a step toward him. Liu Yunan pushed Wang Yi away and went straight to the inner hall.
Wang Yi turned around and pulled him back. In the blink of an eye, the two people suddenly fought.
Li Xiao stared at them and couldn't help but think, 'Could it be that this Liu Yunan killed Wang Yi?'
She frowned as she watched. She was so nervous that her stomach hurt. 'Why did I bother to come here? With Liu Yunan's skills, he could probably hit me with his fingers.'
'I … I'm completely useless.'
Thinking of this, she felt a little sad.
"Stop fighting!" Liu Fang Clan finally couldn't help but walk out from the inner hall.
As soon as she appeared, the two men who were fighting each other stopped.
"Ah Qiong …" Wang Yi just opened his mouth, but the woman shook her head.
"What did you call her?" Liu Yunan was like a firecracker now.
He looked at the interaction between Wang Yi and the beautiful woman and bristled with anger. "Sister-in-law!
What's your relationship with this guy? "
？？？
Li Xiao nestled in the shadows with a dumbfounded expression.
What?
This beautiful woman called Ah Qiong is Liu Yunan's sister-in-law?
His wife?
"Ah Nan …" The woman held the door frame as tears streamed down her face. Her posture could probably make any man want to hold her in their arms.
Liu Yunan and Wang Yi walked towards her at the same time. After taking a step, they looked at each other with hostility.
"Ah Nan, go back.
I don't want to stay in the House of Liu anymore. Why do you have to do this … "Liu Fang Clan looked at Liu Yunan and took a small step back.
Liu Yunan finally couldn't stand it anymore. He said angrily, "Whose child is it?!!!"
Li Xiao suddenly felt his spine go numb, and a strange feeling of extreme surprise rushed up from the root of his tail, as if he was being electrocuted.
Something was wrong!
Something was wrong!
Wasn't the child in Lady Liu's belly Liu Yunan's elder brother's?
Then … whose child was it?
