Seeing Zhui Feng and Wu Lang closing their eyes and concentrating, with only Yuan Zhoulu staring in the direction of the door, Hua Sijin coughed lightly and hurriedly turned back.

"Why don't you take this opportunity to rest? Don't worry, if you really want to attack us, it won't be now."

Yuan Zhoulu wanted to say that someone must stay awake, but the Queen's words were also very reasonable.

"I'll go out for a walk while you go find your room to rest. Once you've rested, dinner will be here."

Yuan Zhoulu did not dare to object, although he did not agree with the empress acting alone.

It's just that their identities are different now. As the "red girl" who is most trusted by Mr. Jin, it should be normal for them to walk freely in the yard.

Hua Sijin did not walk directly towards the stands, but followed the words left by Jin Xiangyu in her memory and went to look for the red-roofed house ahead.

But Hua Sijin never imagined that Jin Xiangyu would be in such a difficult situation in this house.

I thought that the house would be smaller at most, but I didn't expect that it would be no different than a larger dog house.

"Miss Hong, do you have anything to do with me?"

Jin Xiangyu climbed out of the kennel, brushed the weeds off her body without any change in expression, and walked to Hua Sijin with a smile.

Hua Sijin looked around, then pointed at Jin Xiangyu's residence, but she also didn't have any emotional ups and downs.

"I originally wanted to come here to chat with the girl, but you live in such a humble place..."

Jin Xiangyu understood, smiled and made an invitation gesture to Hua Sijin.

"The house is a bit shabby. Fortunately, we servants also have special rooms for guests. Miss Hong, please come with me."

Hua Sijin was keenly aware of the voices coming from different directions, and could clearly hear that these people were staring at Jin Xiangyu.

The contents of the two tightly wrapped people hidden in the tree shocked Hua Sijin even more.

Looking at Jin Xiangyu who was walking half a step in front of her to lead the way, Hua Sijin became even more interested in her.

After the two of them entered the living room, Jin Xiangyu walked out with the teapot quickly and came back after a while.

"I kept Miss Hong waiting for a long time. The sturdy woman in the kitchen may have gone out to do some shopping. There is no hot water, so it took some time."

Hua Sijin looked at Jin Xiangyu's right hand, which turned red. She knew that it was because she didn't work very much and was accidentally burned.

"I got the burn ointment by chance. Just apply it and it will feel better after a while. If nothing special happens, your burn will be better tomorrow."

Jin Xiangyu bowed and thanked her, and accepted it politely.

"Miss Jin, I remember that you used to be the hostess of this gambling house. Why did you become like this when I came back this time?"

Jin Xiangyu's expression was still calm, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"If you do something wrong, you will naturally be punished. Miss Hong also knows that. The Jin family does not raise waste."

Hua Sijin didn't know what to say, so she had to drink water tactically. But unexpectedly, as soon as the tea cup was brought to his lips, his nose twitched slightly.

[It’s interesting, there is something else in this tea. Who did it? ]

Seeing Jin Xiangyu's calm face, he poured himself a cup of tea and planned to drink it all in one gulp. Hua Sijin stopped her movement with a smile and pointed to her red hand.

"You have an injury on your hand. It's best not to drink tea. Try to drink only cold water during these days."

Jin Xiangyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and removed his hand from the tea cup, seeming to glance out the window unintentionally.

"This winter seems to be warmer than previous years."

Hua Sijin followed her line of sight and saw two familiar figures.

Looking at Jin Xiangyu again, his eyes moved to the money tree placed in the corner of the window, and his flower-like eyes narrowed slightly.

He picked up the teapot with hot tea and walked towards the money tree, with anxiety and dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Who the hell is this that puts a money tree in a shady corner? How dare you do such a thing to hinder wealth, aren't you afraid that your master will find out and blame you?"

While talking, he poured the hot tea down directly. After seeing that a big pit had been made in the soil at the bottom of the pot, and the exposed roots were also burned, he walked back with the empty teapot.

Jin Xiangyu lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time, and a smile flashed in his eyes that no one could detect.

"I will report it to the housekeeper later, and he will order someone to bring another pot of money tree. I wonder if there is anything missing in Miss Hong's Courtyard, so I can report it as well."

Hua Sijin frowned slightly, pretending to be deep in thought. After a long time, he sighed and said helplessly:

"It is indeed lacking, but the housekeeper will definitely not agree. It would be great if the master is still alive, and he will definitely agree to my request."

Looking seriously at Jin Xiangyu sitting opposite, Hua Sijin spoke solemnly.

"The three people around me are all men. Sometimes it's really inconvenient to be with them. It would be great if I could have a wonderful person like you, girl, by my side. I wouldn't feel lonely all the time."

Jin Jade's lips parted slightly, never expecting that Miss Hong would make such a request. With a smile on his face, and constantly thinking about whether this matter was feasible, he slowly stood up and bowed.

"Miss Hong, I'll save you the trouble. Now I'll go find the housekeeper and ask him what he thinks."

Hua Sijin also stood up with a smile, "Okay, then I'll go back and rest first. It would have been fine to run all the way in the carriage, but now I feel a little tired after going out for a walk."

After Jin Xiangyu sent Hua Sijin back, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

The aunts who had watched the tragic death of the fifteenth aunt had all returned to their respective rooms, and they were so quiet that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Hua Ruoni was dragged back into the house by Butler Jin, but as soon as the door was closed, her clothes were torn.

"I thought you were really pregnant, and I didn't touch you for the sake of our child. It seems that you have completely forgotten the past."

Hua Ruoni's teeth were chattering, but she still stretched out her hand and gently placed it on the butler's mouth and nose, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

"It's you?!"

Hua Ruoni took a few steps back uncontrollably, but was stopped by the round table.

"Oh, I thought that Miss Hua Wu, a noble lady, forgot things so much that she forgot about me, a passerby."

Hua Ruoni's mind was spinning rapidly and she shook her head desperately. She dug her fingers tightly into the light blue tablecloth on the table and gave a bitter smile.

"When I was Miss Zuo Xiangfu, I was really young and ignorant. But after a few days of thinking about it carefully, you were the best to me. You dared to do anything dangerous for me, but I made nonsense that you were older. It’s not like I’m a gentleman to hurt you, I regret it very much.”

While speaking, tears also fell from fear. But he still tried his best to pretend to be strong and continued:

"I lied about being pregnant, not because of you!"
