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

She knew that something was wrong with Shui Lian today.

His demeanor and tone are the same as usual, except that he occasionally pops out a sentence or two of "inappropriate", such as asking for sugar, since the porridge has not been cooked, it is too early to remind at this time, which is more like hiding his anxiety.

Xu Chuilu originally hoped that he could have a good talk with Xiao Fangdao, but judging by his current posture, he might not be able to reveal the truth.

Both of them have their own plans.

It's just that they don't know whether they can still have the tacit understanding of the past tonight.

Xu Chuilu pushed open the door, and the last ray of sunlight was falling between Xiao Fangdao's eyebrows. She heard the sound and raised her head to meet the eyes of Shui Lian beside Xu Chuilu.

"How did you wrap yourself up like this?" she asked casually.

Shui Lian untied the tie of the cloak, smiled wryly, "It's cold here, no warmer than Chisong's winter."

Xiao Fangdao nodded lightly: "I heard that you have suffered a lot outside these days, why is He Cheng making things difficult for you?"

"It's not difficult." He sat down and said, "He asked me to meet He Zhiyou. I think this second lady is most likely the one who delivered the invitation that day."

"How to say?"

"She is not as cowardly and obedient as the rumors said. She said something to me for unknown purposes. Sovereign, you——we must be careful about this person."

"Ok, I know."

After this sentence, Xiao Fangdao paused for a moment, waiting for him to continue explaining the recent affairs, but Shui Lian just maintained this silence.

He was speechless.

Xu Cuilu felt that the atmosphere was very strange. The two of them were neither arguing nor suspicious, they just mixed business and pleasantries together as usual, which was a very common chat.

But what kind of nonsense are they talking about?It's not a blind date, why hide the key issue?What can't you say?What can't I ask?Do you have to have a bowl of Laba porridge to open your mouth before you can open your mouth?

Xu Chuilu pinched her leg and recited the numbers silently. She decided to ask Xiao Fangdao questions for Xiao Fangdao when she counted to ten—about Yunji, He Chengze, and the injury that day.

Seven, eight, nine—

However, Shui Lian couldn't bear such a long silence, everything here was slowly burning his internal organs, he decided to use words to temporarily suppress the torment hidden in his chest.

"metropolitan."

"Ok?"

He smiled shyly: "Today is the suzerain's birthday, I didn't prepare a gift, the suzerain won't blame me?"

Xiao Fangdao raised his eyebrows and said: "You didn't send any useful things in the past, but now you are in Xiyong, just do your best."

"That's because the suzerain never said what he wanted." His smile faded a little, "How can we guess by just guessing?"

"I don't lack anything." She said, "What I have is already the best, neither more nor less."

Shui Lian was taken aback, he didn't know how much Xiao Fangdao knew, but it seemed that she still trusted him.

She is the same as the wind talisman, she will advise him, but she will not stop him.This is where she is tolerant, but also where she is ruthless.

She has neither the desire to gain nor the fear of losing.

"..."

Xu Chuilu: It's meaningless for you to say that, there's no way you don't want my gift.

So she boldly interjected: "That's not necessarily the case. Of course, the more the icing on the cake, the better. Shui Lian can give whatever she wants, regardless of whether she needs it or not."

"This..." His face froze a bit, "It seems that the relationship between Miss Xu and the suzerain has taken a step further during this period of time."

He even felt that what he said to He Chengze was probably not an exaggeration.

"No." Xiao Fangdao denied coldly, "It's just that her courage has gained a lot of weight along with others."

Shui Lian stared slightly: still say no?

But this is also good, he thought, there is no shortage of capable people around the suzerain, but there is indeed no "ordinary person" like Xu Chuilu. When getting along with her, the suzerain doesn't have to consider the intriguing disputes between the world and the rivers and lakes. This is something he can't do—— He is perpetually worried.

"Miss Xu is indeed much more cheerful." He smiled bitterly, "It seems that this trip is not all bad."

Xu Chuilu felt a little nostalgic when he heard the sad tone, and couldn't help saying: "Shui Lian, it seems that you haven't cried for a long time."

"What... do you mean?" The sudden ridicule made him puzzled, "Could Miss Xu not see me happy?"

"Ah, you misunderstood." Xu Chuilu waved his hands hastily, "I think the way you cry is very interesting, this is definitely a compliment!"

"..." Shui Lian froze, "Really."

"People don't just cry when they're sad, and they don't laugh when they're happy. It's even the opposite in many cases." She strongly hinted, "There are too many inversions and dislocations in the world. , it’s just that sometimes it’s harmless, and sometimes it’s fatal.”

Shui Lian lowered her eyes and was silent for a while.

"You want to say that honesty is the most important thing when dealing with people?"

Xu Chuilu nodded in relief: "Almost."

"So, you won't be unhappy if I confess my feelings to you?"

She felt a little strange, but still said: "Naturally."

"Then let's talk about it when we have dinner." Shui Lian rolled up her sleeves and stood up, "I'll go to the dining room to cook some side dishes, you guys talk first."

Without waiting for the two to answer, he turned and left.

This action was like engraving the words "I have a problem" on his face, Xu Chuilu looked at Xiao Fangdao in doubt: "That's all for him, why don't you speak human words?"

"Why did you provoke him?" She cast a faint glance at the gradually darkening courtyard.

"I can't be in a hurry." Xu Chuilu said honestly, "There's going to be a big mess tonight. Don't be in a hurry. I'll take care of you."

"Don't be afraid."

"Of course you are not afraid. If I have your ability, I will not be afraid of people hitting me when I walk sideways on weekdays."

Xiao Fangdao bent his lips in a face-saving way, as if he approved of her joke.

Xu Chuilu couldn't laugh, and sighed: "Forget it, I'll just assume you have a countermeasure."

"You'd better not move your chopsticks when Shui Lian makes something."

Xu Chuilu was startled: "Why? Can he really poison you?"

Xiao Fangdao shook his head: "I'm afraid that you will vomit too badly then."

"Huh? Shui Lian's cooking skills... are terrible?"

Xiao Fangdao was noncommittal: "It's not just bad food that makes people sick."

……

Shui Lian sat in front of the stove and stared at the afterglow of the setting sun on the ground. When the last light receded, it was Xu time. After half an hour, the sky would be dark, and Mei Wu would arrive.

He thought that he could do what he said and did as he originally thought, but those sharp words that he had rehearsed countless times only made him feel awkward and funny, and couldn't cope with Xu Chuilu's sincere curiosity.

This is a farewell.

He is not good at this, he never needs a reason to leave somewhere, and he doesn't want to spend too much energy on this trivial matter, there are more important things that need him to do his best tonight.

"So be it."

Shui Lian cast her eyes down, stood up and sprinkled a layer of fine salt like snowflakes on the stewed bamboo shoots.

Lenghong Xiaozhu got its name because the mountain flowers are red and the autumn scenery is very strong. However, there is no bright red in the courtyard at this time of year. The ancient well is cold and the dead branches cut the moon.

When he brought the porridge in, it was the time when Leng Hongxiaozhu was feeling Leng Wuhong's deep meditation. The two sat at the table and waited for a long time. He politely said "Sorry for the lateness", and conveniently put the bowls and chopsticks away quickly. set it up.

However, he was the only one who moved the chopsticks.

Xu Chuilu felt that this was inappropriate, but Shui Lian ate it without embarrassment, which was completely different from his usual gentle and cautious way of eating.

"Uh, Shui Lian..."

When she heard the overly vicious chewing sound, her scalp tingled for a while, and she couldn't help but make a sound to stop it.

Shui Lian gave up chopsticks, but the contents of his mouth were still not completely swallowed: "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you have something to say earlier? It's not good for your stomach to eat so hard."

He seemed to have finally remembered this, paused, raised his head and said: "Yes, Miss Xu is a straightforward person, and I shouldn't hide many things from you."

Xu Chuilu nodded repeatedly.

He poured himself a cup of hot tea, and said slowly, "Actually, I have always disliked you."

Xu Chuilu was taken aback, and opened his mouth in disbelief.

"Varied……"

"If you want to say that your origin is unknown and your body is secret, you obviously keep silent more than me, how can you have the face to ask me to tell the truth?" His face was shrouded in hot air, showing a bit of treachery for no reason.

Xu Chuilu didn't know why, so he cast a "what are you doing" look at Xiao Fangdao.

But the other party didn't intend to help her out, and even pretended to be watching the show in a leisurely manner.

She could only give up the foreign aid and face Shui Lian's malice with a smile: "What else?"

Shui Lian is still smiling, but her voice has cooled down: "Since you appeared in the Unfeeling Sect, you have received a lot of care from the Sect Master and Fengfu, but you have never done anything useful, instead you want me to take care of you everywhere— —That’s all, incompetent people, I’m not incompatible.”

She didn't know what expression to make, and asked cautiously, not very fluently: "So, what did I do that you can't tolerate?"

"..." Shui Lian's expression also twisted for a moment, but he had to continue the conversation after all, "What I said to you, you told the suzerain all the things I said to you, and you were spying in the dining room just now, obviously you don't believe me , and now the suzerain is not allowed to eat and drink, it is clearly framed, to separate me and the suzerain, now, the suzerain has been bewitched by you, I... do not want to suffer this humiliation, please allow me to resign as the hall master and leave the Ruanqing sect."

"and many more--"

"Oh, you just targeted me everywhere because I was the most wary of you. Now that I've spoken, why put on a show." Shui Lian raised her sleeves and raised her head angrily.

Xu Chuilu also stood up: "I have joined the Heartless Sect, but I definitely do not mean to separate... between you and the Sect Master."

"It's useless to talk nonsense." He stared at her, "The Unfeeling Sect doesn't raise waste, even if the power is as high as Ruan Xunxiang, it will inevitably end up going down the mountain. Why do you stay here?"

She couldn't adapt to Shui Lian's extremely thin and vicious female supporting lines, she felt her eyelids twitch and felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that she was silent, he said sharply: "If the suzerain really cares about my fate, he will promise me to expel this person and stop listening to her lies."

"..."

Shui Lian laughed again: "It seems that the suzerain has made a decision, so I won't be here to humiliate myself."

He turned around without any hesitation.

Xu Chuilu stretched out her hand to tug, but she only grasped the smell of the dining room that had not dissipated from the corner of his clothes.

"Hey, at least take the cloak before you go—"

The wind blew her ears, and her exhortations were thrown behind him, and like the thrown jade crown, they remained forever under the desolate moonlight of Lenghong Xiaozhu.

A slim figure with long hair fluttering and beautiful clothes stumbled out from the courtyard door, the man covered his face with his sleeves, his steps were chaotic, but he ran fast, as if he had suffered a great grievance and wished he could escape the chastity of this dirty world Martyr.

Mei Wu, who was hiding among the trees, glanced at him from a distance, and knew that the person was Xu Chuilu who had been pushed away by the water ripples, so he held his breath and used his kung fu to catch up.

He didn't want to startle her, he just wanted to beat her unconscious and put her in a dark room when she ran out of Xiaozhu.However, after chasing for dozens of feet, he suddenly realized that even if she couldn't tell the direction at night, she shouldn't have burrowed into this dark place. Knowing that the shoulder bone was not owned by the woman, he couldn't be surprised, he quickly backed away, because a bright dagger had protruded from the sleeve behind the other party.

The light of the blade is lingling, like a ray of cold light cast by the moon on a clear pool, it just so lightly and beautifully added a shallow and slender bloodstain to his abdomen.

He finally saw the face clearly.

A smiling peach blossom noodle.

"Oh, Brother Mei, you misread the person."
