What's wrong with my mother adding special effects to my wife?

Xiao Fangdao scooped up the jug, shook his clothes and got up.

Xu Chuilu hurriedly stood up with his hands supporting the eaves tiles, but his movements were too hasty, his center of gravity was unstable, and he was so drunk that he almost slipped and fell down.

The other party glanced at the cuff material that she grasped and let go suddenly, and said softly: "You are not full, you are not exhausted, you are the stupid horse."

"?"

Humiliate the horse——no, humiliate people!

"In the second half of the night, there is no excitement or story, so go back to sleep."

Doesn't this mean that Xiao Fangdao knew that there was such a "hustle and bustle"?

Xu Chuilu was immediately alert and said, "No, unless you tell me what happened to the fire."

"Want to know? Go ask Shui Lian tomorrow."

"..."

Okay, she has something to ask anyway.

She thought that this long night was destined to be sleepless, but she didn't know whether she was sleepy from the smell of alcohol or she couldn't get used to it because she hadn't stayed up for too long. When she returned to the house, she fell asleep after touching the pillow, and the nightmare didn't bother her. .

[Host, it's three quarters. ]

The shadow of the moon fades, and the sun shines brightly.

When Xu Chuilu was awakened by the familiar system sound, she realized that this was already a rare act of her staying in bed. Zhaolu called her three times but failed to wake her up, which was really careless.

[Sleep so deeply in the second half of the night, it seems that my nightmare was very insincere, alas. 】

[Sleep soundly, isn't it a good thing for human beings? ]

[It's not bad, it just messed up my plan. 】

If she wanted to ask Shui Lian, the two of them had to speak alone. If it was too late, Shui Lian was busy with something or had already left, and it would be difficult to find an opportunity.

And after going out, she has to set aside at least half an hour to wash and dress up, in order to maintain the face of the second young lady of the Ming family. I have tried my best to make it simple and elegant, but it still takes a lot of time.

[Unfortunately, I can't do anything for the host, or, I can repeat the grooming steps for you as I did at the beginning—]

[No need!It is enough for you to have this heart! 】

This kind of activity that is too practical cannot trust the system's instructions at all, otherwise, it will not be the elegant and happy looking at the window, but the chaos and madness of scratching the head.

Xu Chuilu quickly put a simple bun on her hair, casually inserted a green jade hairpin on her head, and hurried to Shuilian's house.

I saw a person open the door and walk out slowly.

It was a man, wearing a green shirt, tall and elegant, but not Shui Lian.

The man nodded slightly to Xu Chuilu, and walked away calmly and generously.

Shui Lian stood inside the door, saw the person coming, and asked in confusion: "Why is Second Sister here?"

Xu Chuilu said seriously: "Let's go in and talk."

When something important happened to Shui Lian, she couldn't help being taken aback, and immediately welcomed people in and led her to a seat.

"what happened?"

"..."

The man walking out of it was the person next to Liu Xicao last night, which made Xu Chuilu pay more attention to what happened last night, she tried her best to restrain her surprise, and still revealed her original purpose.

"Shui Lian, I actually want to ask you—"

The words stuck between his teeth, and his mouth suddenly burned.

Shui Lian saw her hesitation, and said with relief: "Although we are not real siblings, we have accumulated a lot of companionship during this period, so you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

"Do you like Xiao Fangdao?"

Shui Lian's eyes paused.

Xu Chuilu used the word "Xiao Fangdao" instead of "Suzerain", which meant that she was not asking about his feelings for his master or benefactor.

"I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious—not curious, just..." Xu Cuilu felt incoherent when he opened his mouth, "I know you have been worried after the drinking river sword incident. The suzerain told me about your acquaintance last night, I thought of this possibility... but speculation is base and useless, I should ask you, so here I am."

The door was half open, the new wind picked up suddenly, Shui Lian calmly closed the window and dropped the bolt, he held up his sleeves filled with cold wind, held the pot and poured a cup of hot tea for Xu Chuilu.

The face in the hot air was calmer than Xu Cuilu imagined.

"Ask all you want. Why explain this to me?" he sighed. "You're not the first to wonder about this. After listening to a few stories from me, you'll know the answer."

Xu Chuilu picked up the cup with a little shame, and took a small sip.

Soon, she learned from Shui Lian's narration the tragic past of the young master of the Dongshan School, the son of the servant, and the top card of Xiuyuelou.

"Now, do you still think I like her?"

"...I'm afraid not."

"Dao" has a heart like iron, and Shui Lian is definitely not an idiot who doesn't bump into the south wall and doesn't look back. She probably gave up her thoughts as early as the first time she saw her admirer's fate.

Xu Chuilu felt that she was extremely stupid.

She should have known that Xiao Fangdao practiced martial arts and Taoism and turned his emotions and desires into iron dust, how could he be easily tempted?How could Shui Lian, who was tortured by Xiao Fangdao's control, not want to make trouble for herself?

She actually really followed Zhaolu's nonsense, and even had a ridiculous nightmare, which was even worse than a seven-year-old child's mind!

[Host, I am just offering a possibility, in fact, you are the first to...]

【You are bewitching me, trying to lead me astray! 】

Chao Lu was silent for a moment, then said: [Okay, I understand your unreasonableness. ]

Xu Chuilu became angry for a while, and bit the cup with more force, his teeth became sour from the sudden knock, and he shivered suddenly.

At this moment, a hand stretched out suddenly, from the right side to behind her ear, and took something from her bun.

Shui Lian spread out her palm and handed her the jade hairpin.

"No offense, but it's not securely inserted, and it's about to slip."

"……thanks."

She still felt strange, since the hairpin was about to fall off, why didn't he say a word to remind her, or just help her to stabilize herself, taking it and returning it was really redundant.

"I'm happy to pick up a hairpin for Miss Xu, but I won't wear it for you." He seemed to see her doubts, and said softly, "I'm the same for the suzerain. You guys know better where it should be, not for intimacy." People, how can they do it for them.”

Xu Chuilu thought about it, and then said: "What if I...or she asks you to do this?"

Shui Lian said with a smile: "You should do it yourself."

Xu Chuilu closed his eyes, and it took a long time before he smiled wryly: "Sorry."

She is always belatedly aware of her own narrowness, as Shui Lian said, she doesn't need to explain, why must she find a reason for herself to ask?She shouldn't feel embarrassed and afraid, nor should she feel a moment of embarrassment because of Shui Lian's sincerity and frankness, and she has no reason to take anger at Chao Lu...

The two drank the cup of tea quietly.

A knock on the door broke the silence.

The man knocked a few times and didn't intend to come in, so he said loudly: "Young Master Ming, I have merged the carriages and horses into your convoy, when shall we set off?"

"Understood, please wait a moment for shopkeeper Liu, I will come when I pack up."

Liu Xicao didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Chuilu waited for him to leave, and said in a low voice: "He... what happened to Liu Xicao? Did you invite him to go with us? Has it something to do with the fire last night?"

This is not suspicion, but a sincere request for advice.

"Miss Xu is as meticulous as dust, I really admire it." He explained with a light smile, "It's just that if you want to talk about it in detail, you have to start with He Cheng."

She realized something: "You pay attention to Liu Xicao because of the Bamboo Wind School?"

"Yes." Shui Lian nodded, "Can you feel the strangeness of He Chengze's two edicts?"

"You mean, martial arts contest to recruit relatives..."

"Kill the suzerain and get the position of the lord."

Xu Chuilu frowned.

"He Cheng recruited a son-in-law for the purpose of cultivating successors, but he also put out the leader of the alliance to be chased by the people of the world, which seems to be contradictory." Shui Lian said slowly, "However, he knows very well that all these years Even if the Martial Arts League can't shake the Unfeeling Sect, how can one person threaten the life of the Sect Master?"

"Drawing such a big cake, is it just to trick those fools to come and seek death?"

Shui Lian sneered: "No, if recruiting a son-in-law is true, I think that the next alliance leader he prefers is not only to surpass his peers in martial arts, but also to have the ability...to help him get rid of the suzerain."

"!"

"The winner of the contest and the one who killed the suzerain must be the same person. Only such a person can meet the meaning of success and can convince others."

"So, do you speculate that the person who wants to marry the second lady will be detrimental to the suzerain?" She felt both dazed and terrified, "You talked to Liu Xicao yesterday, and the fire was all to find out about Zhufeng's involvement in the situation. True or false?"

Shui Lian also frowned slightly: "I did find out the importance of the betrothal gift through the fire. But I didn't set the fire, maybe it was an accident. It's dry in winter, so it's easy to get dry."

"But why do you want him to come with us?"

"Liu Xicao is timid, afraid that the bodyguards he brought will not be able to protect the goods. I think our brothers and sisters are also going to visit relatives in Xiyong, so it is better to go with them, so we can have someone to take care of them. We have many guards, and we have Yu Zhongsu's face, He has no reason not to agree." Shui Lian rubbed his eyebrows, "Actually, there is no special use in doing so, but it will add some trouble to He Cheng."

"……what?"

"When we arrived at Lianyi Villa, the other party saw that the Bamboo Wind bride price was escorted all the way by members of the Unfeeling Sect, would they dare to accept it?"

Shui Lian showed the innocent and cunning smile he is good at.

Although this is not a clever plan to divorce, Xu Chuilu substituted it a little bit...

Well, it is indeed to the extent that it can cause a heart attack.
