The phrase "to be punished together" stunned牡丹and步瑤when they heard it, especially牡丹. Romance穿越novel updates first release, only at 151 看書網Although步瑤didn't know this,牡丹had always known that the榆木公子was the number one young master of Drunken Flower Tower, but in terms of talent, he was the best she had ever seen. However, the榆木公子never liked to show off; therefore, his willingness to attend today's gathering already surprised牡丹. But the phrase "to be punished together with a third-rank maidservant" was something she couldn't accept.

步瑤glared fiercely at齊琳, making that vermilion piece of wood even more glaringly obvious; she suddenly stood up and recalled hearing about牡丹befriending a third-rank maidservant and giving her a hairpin. But today, for some reason unknown to her, the resentment in her heart had increased so much.

"Since this Miss Ah Xue is someone from my sister牡丹, then there's nothing more I can say. Mr. Elm Wood,牡丹sister,步瑤feels tired and will take my leave." As步瑤turned to leave, when she walked past齊琳, she noticed the hand under齊琳’s wide sleeves.步瑤lifted her lips slightly, approached齊琳, stepped hard on that hand, looked at齊琳with satisfaction, but was surprised to see齊琳's unchanged expression as if it wasn't her hand being stepped upon.

Such an action seemed not noticed by anyone.

After Bu Yao left, Qi Lin gently moved the foot that had been stepped on. At the moment it happened, the piercing pain had almost made her cry out, but she endured it. Compared to when she was bullied by her so-called brother in the past, this was much better. She silently covered her hand to avoid others noticing and hoped for a peaceful life in the small courtyard henceforth.

The rest of her life sounds so long.

Qi Lin looked at the fallen maple leaves; peony had left without her knowing, leaving only elmwood sitting there while she knelt alone. It felt as if time had stopped, with nothing but the rustling sound of the falling leaves.

It's so quiet. If it could stay this way quietly...

After today, Qi Lin sensed that such tranquility wouldn't last long.

"How much longer are you going to kneel"

Huh Qi Lin was stunned and realized that she had momentarily forgotten she was kneeling on the ground. She adjusted her dress and stood up. The hand that had been stepped on earlier was already bruised, looking quite painful. Qi Lin used her long sleeves to cover her fingers and suddenly wondered how Yu Mu knew she was kneeling since he couldn’t see.

"May I ask Miss Ah Xue to pour me some tea" As he spoke, Yu Mu placed the teacup aside and added, "I would be grateful for your help."

Qi Lin walked over, picked up the kettle, but found it empty. Of course, a pot of tea had been consumed by just Yu Mu alone. Qi Lin looked at Yu Mu and was about to explain the situation so that she could go get more hot water, allowing other maids to come in. But before she could make her excuse, Yu Mu spoke first.

"Is Miss Ah Xue's hand alright"

Hand Qi Lin moved her hand slightly and wondered why he noticed it when even Peony hadn’t.

It seems to have noticed Qi Lin's confusion, Yu Mu continued, "People who are blind can have extremely sharp other senses; they can tell just by hearing."

So that was it. But his hearing is too good, isn't it After thinking about it for a moment, she said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Yu Mu. My—my maid's hand is fine."

Yu Mu nodded and took out a white jade-colored silk box from his bosom, handing it to Qi Lin. He said, "This is medicine I made myself for treating injuries; I think you might find it useful."

Looking at the white jade silk box, its value was undoubtedly high, but Qi Lin's gaze was drawn to that hand. She slowly took the box, only to accidentally brush against his hand. Contrary to what she had imagined, his hand felt icy cold and piercing, as if it had just emerged from a block of ice.ng here Don't you know today's guest is important"Frost This should be the girl's name.
