Xiji didn't feel anything about the addition of two people in the mansion. After all, the palace was too big for those people to be in front of him, and he was busy making sauerkraut these days, so naturally he had no time to pay attention to other things.

He did notice that the Night King seemed a little unhappy in recent days, but he kept talking around for a while, but he still couldn't learn the reason for his displeasure from the Night King.

Seeing that the Night King didn't want to say anything, Xiji didn't force her to ask any more, so as not to make the Night King even more unhappy.

Since he couldn't find the reason from the Night King, Xiji didn't give up. After inquiring about the attendants around him, he knew that the Night King became like this after seeing two women, so he couldn't help thinking too much.Who are those two women, can make the night king's mood fluctuate.

After all, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for the Night King to be in such a hidden situation. If he is not happy, he will explode on the spot.After learning that the Night King let those two people stay, Xiji's curiosity reached its peak.

It's just that, compared to finding out who those two are, Xiji has more important things to do at the moment. The dishes bought that day must be soaked while they are fresh to ensure their taste.

"My lord, is it right for us to do this?" A kitchen maid asked Xiji with some washed and sliced ​​radishes in her hand.

Hearing this, Xiji walked over and saw that she had cut the radish to the right size and the weight was about the same, which was much better than what she expected, so she nodded and said lightly: "Yes, that's it, let's get it That would be fine.”

Hearing this, the servant woman breathed a sigh of relief. Although the son is kind, the two big maids behind him are not vegetarians.If they do something wrong, the young master will not do anything, but the two big maids will punish them secretly, because these low-level servants have no way to resist, and they dare not even file a complaint.

Xiji, who didn't know what the maid was thinking at all, looked at the busy people in the arena with satisfaction, expecting to be able to put all these things in the altar today, and soon to be able to eat hot and sour kimchi, and couldn't help it. Secrete saliva.I even started to think about it, it would be better to eat it first when the time comes.

Just as Xiji was thinking about how soon these soaked kimchi would be ready to be eaten, someone suddenly came to report.

"Young master, someone is looking for you outside."

Hearing what the servants said, Xiji was a little surprised. There are very few people in this mansion who would look for him, and if they were looking for him, he would not have passed it on like this, so he blurted out and asked, "Who is it?" Find me?"

The servant seemed to be stopped by Xiji's question, and after thinking for a while, he replied with some uncertainty: "It's two guests who have lived in the mansion recently."

Hearing this, Xiji was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't realize it, and then remembered what he asked a few days ago, and immediately understood who the two people who came here were.What Xiji didn't expect was that he didn't take the initiative to see who these two people were, and they came here uninvited.

After thinking about it, he still said to the person who sent the message: "In this case, tell them to wait outside for a while, and I will come out after I order something."

"Yes." The servant promised, then turned and left.

At this time, there were two women standing at the gate of the courtyard. Unlike the embarrassment of the previous few days, they looked much more dazzling than last time after they had settled down.At this time, seeing that the person who had gone to pass on the message did not come out for a long time, the young woman became a little timid, and said uneasy: "Auntie, is it not appropriate for us to come here so rashly?"

Hearing this, the woman turned her head and looked at her indifferently. Seeing the timidity on her face, she sighed silently, and explained in a low voice: "We are here as guests, and the people in the backyard The owner is obviously only the current Mr. Xi. If we don't come to say hello, we are not polite."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, then looked at the girl, and continued: "I know you have always been a well-behaved and obedient person, but this is different from the past. If you don't want to go back to that house, then think carefully about what I did with you yesterday. what you say."

Hearing what the woman said, the girl trembled all over, as if she recalled what her aunt told her solemnly when she saw her in the room where only the two of them were left yesterday.Thinking that if she couldn't stay for a long time, she would have to go back to the place where people eat people and don't spit out their bones sooner or later, the girl was frightened for a while, and she nodded immediately, with a bit of determination in her eyes.

When he looked up at the woman again, he said firmly, "Auntie, I know what to do."

The woman looked at the girl's pretty face, patted her on the shoulder, curled her lips slightly, and said in a low voice, "Good boy."

The conversation between the two lasted only a few minutes, and when they finished speaking, they saw a brother in green clothes, with his hair combed high, a magnificent face, a slender figure, and clear eyes coming out of the door in front of him.Such a casual attire further accentuated this brother's unparalleled appearance.

As soon as she saw him, Fu Jinlian understood why her nephew, who didn't like oil and salt, loved him so much.After all, if she were a man, such a stunner in the world would definitely fall in love with her.

Now that she has known the identity of the elder brother in front of her, Fu Jinlian gave a small gift to Xiji, and said in a gentle voice: "Please don't take offense if you bother me so much."

Seeing the woman's gentle and courteous appearance, Xiji felt a little fondness in her heart, and said involuntarily, "Since I'm a guest, I'll treat her well. It's just that this is not a good place to talk. Let me go to the small room next door." Let's garden."

Hearing what he said, the two naturally had no objection.So, with Xiji leading the way, the two behind followed, followed by a few servants, the group walked towards the garden.

After the three of them sat down in the pavilion, and the servants offered exquisite snacks and high-quality tea, Xiji looked at the woman and asked with some doubts: "I don't know..." Just as he started, Xiji stopped. When he got down, he didn't seem to know how to address him, but then he thought of something, and continued: "I don't know why Madam came to see me this time?"

Hearing Xiji's question, Fu Jinlian's eyes swept across the things in front of him, which seemed to be a lot of thought.Then he smiled slightly at Xiji, and said in a gentle voice: "I know it's a bit presumptuous for me to come this time. It's just that if I don't come, it will seem too impolite. After all, we may have to live here for a while."

After that, he took the hand of the girl who had been sitting obediently next to him, put it on his knee and patted it lightly, as if he had found some courage before he was ready to say the next thing.

Knowing this moment, Xiji seemed to have discovered the existence of the woman next to her. She looked at the girl's thin body, that face that made me feel pitiful, and the pitiful look she exuded around her.Thinking erratically, he doesn't seem to be scary, why is this girl so scared?

Soon, Xiji's complicated thoughts were pulled back by the woman's voice, and she went on to say: "I am originally from the Tianguang Kingdom, but my husband died and my son died, so I have to bring my niece who is just as miserable as me. , came to join the King of the Night. Fortunately, the King of the Night still remembered me, so I would not let me live on the streets. I heard that there is only the young master in this mansion, and I came here to greet you, hoping that the young master will not be bored."

Hearing this, Xiji understood the general idea, but he still had some doubts, so he asked directly, "I don't know what is the relationship between you and the Night King?" The people under the rule don't want to be more involved, so why would they keep outsiders in this mansion, unless the person has something to do with him.

Sure enough, when Sigi asked this question, a flash of struggle appeared on the woman's face, and then she looked at Xiji who was staring at her curiously, and said slowly: "I am the Night King My parents' elder sister was lucky enough to take him in for a few days when I was a child."

Hearing this answer, Xiji froze for a moment, then looked at them not knowing how to react.He's been with the Night King for so long that he doesn't seem to have met any of the Night King's other relatives.Now that I think about it, in this era where people are the center and the family is the axis, the Night King is in a high position, but he is still alone, which seems extraordinarily strange.

Xiji seemed to remember something again, and his whole body was shocked.He remembered that when he first came here, he had heard that the position of the Night King was not right, because it was not officially passed on to him by his father, but he killed his father and brother, and slaughtered all the people in the mansion. Blood relatives, taken from life to life.

If it was in the past, Xiji would have been terrified of the Night King when he heard these rumors.But now, after being with the Night King for so long, Xiji didn't know why, but there was a little bit of pity in his heart.After all, although the Night King is bloodthirsty, under normal circumstances, he is a person who doesn't care about anything.

Seeing that Xiji stopped talking after listening, Fu Jinlian and the girl couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and called softly, "Master?"

Hearing this whisper, Xiji finally came back to his senses, looked at the two with apologetic smiles, thought of what they said just now, and said with a smile: "Since you are the aunt of the adults, you should stay in the mansion well." Life. If you need anything, just ask the servants to find the butler."

The two thanked Xiji for his kindness, and the three continued to chat awkwardly for a while, seeing Xiji's absent-minded look, they said goodbye with great winks and left.

When they came to the intersection leaving the garden, Fu Jinlian glanced back and saw Xiji sitting there with a melancholy expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

When the two of them returned to their yard, Fu Jinlian looked at the girl and said, "From this point of view, this young man is much more innocent than I imagined."

……

On the other end, after the two of them had left, Xiji was still sitting there, not knowing what to think, and always felt that it was inappropriate to think about anything.

Finally, looking at the getting late sky, he finally sighed and prepared to go back.Forget it, anyway, it's useless for him to think too much, what to do if he thinks so much.

Xiji figured this out, and couldn't help but walk a lot lighter, until he returned to the house and saw the Night King sitting there.

The Night King was still dressed in his usual black clothes, sitting alone at the table, looking out of the window, his unmoving eyes were full of deep silence.

It seemed that he had noticed Xiji's arrival, and when he turned his head to look at him, there was a little bit of starlight in that gaze.
