One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Xiao Huan Xi's eyes widened as she stood on the spot. The teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

When the other wives had left, Xiao Feng walked out from outside the door and said, "You can give up now. No matter what I do, you will never have anything to do with Chu Junyi."

Xiao Feng closed his eyes. His anger should have been overflowing, but now he could release even the slightest bit of it. He had already given up all hope on this little sister of his.

"Xiao Huan Xi, you are so stupid! Father, find someone to marry her away. "

Xiao Jingran looked as if he had aged ten years. His serious face was filled with a vicissitudes of life, "Huan Xi, this time …"

Xiao Huan Xi fell to her knees and shook her head crazily.

"Father, don't listen to Big Brother's words. I don't want to marry anyone else, why would I want to marry someone else? "Shen Ninghua has already agreed to let me stay with brother Jun Yi. My wish is about to come true. Why should I marry someone else?"

Xiao Jingran clenched his teeth and said: "Your mother will be late. I'm worried that you two siblings will never get married again, so from the looks of it, that's what's happened to you! Congee Hua, do you know what it means for a girl who has not left the pavilion to not return for one night? "

"What?" Xiao Huan Xi shook her head.

"You haven't come back for the entire night. If you were in an ordinary family of 100 people, you would have already been forced to death because of your lack of reputation and integrity!"

Xiao Huan Xi retorted in a high-pitched voice, "Nothing happened that night. I was just trapped in a yard outside the city. Nothing happened!"

"Who can prove it?"

"I …" Xiao Huan Xi froze on the spot, and after a while, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Father, nothing happened to me. It was only Shen Ninghua who ordered me to be locked outside. She only opened the door for me when it was daybreak!"

Xiao Jingran touched her hair with a heartache:

"What's the use of knowing Shen Ninghua? Does she even know how to speak up for you?" "If it wasn't for what happened today, I might have been able to help you plan things out. But you want to hang yourself for the sake of marrying Chu Junyi. You're putting yourself in danger!"

"Father, the situation is already like this, there is no way to salvage the situation. Help me, help me!" You are the most trusted subject of the emperor, and the Xiao family is the protector of the imperial court.

Xiao Jingran sighed, turned around, and walked out: "Take good care of your young miss, don't let anything happen to her." This child was actually unable to differentiate the Xiao family's current situation …

Children are all parents' debts! Even if Xiao Huan Xi was useless right now and had caused such a mess, he still had to think of a way to reverse the situation. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to marry his daughter away.

As Xiao JingRan left to think of a way out, Xiao Hengxi was already in despair.

"Even if my father was angry in the past, he wouldn't have left like this …." Her father really didn't care about her … The fear of being abandoned nearly made her heart stop. She kept squeezing her palm to regain some composure.

The female attendant stepped forward. "Miss, please get up quickly. The ground is cold."

Xiao Huan Xi's face was sinister as she picked up a cup of tea from the ground and threw it at the servant girl's head, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault! If it wasn't for you making me sit down and rest for a while, I wouldn't be this ugly today. "Beat him up!"

The maid's forehead was broken, and blood was all over her face. Xiao Huan Xi was obviously going to beat her to death. As she thought, she stood up, took the teacup and threw it at her forehead, then ran in the direction of where the other wives had left.

"Help, help!" "Murder!"

A few of the madams were just about to board their carriages to leave when they saw a blood-covered maid pouncing out of the Xiao family's residence. "Save me Madam! Eldest Miss wanted to beat me to death so that I could vent my anger on her. I was forced to escape. I beg Madam to save my life!"

Madam Shao, the Minister's wife, frowned and said, "She actually beat him up to such a state. Although this is just a servant, we can't kill her so easily. In the end, she's a human life."

"Who knows what else will happen. It must be Miss Xiao hanging herself to vent her anger on this little girl."

"We can't send him back, or else he'll be beaten to death."

The maid seemed to be frightened. "If I don't go back, I'll die." As he spoke, he crazily ran out of the manor.

Xiao Feng came over with her people but was stopped by a few wives. "Young Master Xiao, that maid did not commit any grave mistakes. Why must she be killed?"

"Seniors, that maid signed the death contract, so her life and death will naturally be decided by the Xiao family. My younger sister just lost control due to anger, that's why she was hurt. She was originally going to take care of her injuries, but she ran away." "She seems to be out of her mind. It would not be good if she accidentally injured someone outside. Someone come, quickly chase them back."

Since it was a death contract, it wouldn't be good for them to interfere.

The other wives all got into their carriages and left. Their impression of Xiao Huan Xi became worse.

"Young miss, our people have already moved out. Greens have already escaped from the Xiao family, but her forehead is injured."

"Head injury?" Shen Ninghua paused for a moment. Greedy was one of the people she had planted into the Xiao family. She only wanted to add one more spy in case she needed it. She didn't expect it to be of great use now. Without her guidance, Xiao Huan Xi wouldn't have been so desperate.

"Yes, there was news that came back. She had been hit by Xiao Huan Xi's teacup, and in order to increase the effect, she cut her own forehead with a piece of porcelain. When the Xiao family's guards were chasing her, she jumped into the river to escape.

Shen Ninghua's heart skipped a beat, "Okay, I'll make the medicine for you. You get someone to give it to Green-Sore, and you can guarantee that she won't leave any scars." "Also, arrange for people to send her to Jiangnan. If she is still willing to stay by my side, arrange for her to stay in the Hua Jun Medicine Store. If she wants to be free, pay her silver and let her make the necessary arrangements."

"Yes, miss. You were very considerate of her. " Hong Ling smiled.

Shen Ninghua smiled and said, "Alright, let's hurry up and make the arrangements. We don't want the Xiao family to discover us."

Watching Hong Ling leave, Shen Ninghua's lips curved up into a smile. "Xiao Huan Xi is completely done for this time."

In less than a day, news of Xiao Huan Xi's death had spread throughout the capital. Originally, some people had thought that with the Xiao family's hundred year old family, coupled with the strict management of the Xiao family, they wouldn't raise such a daughter. However, when the matter of Xiao Huan Xi forcing her maid to death came out, no one said anything more.

That day, the guard of the Xiao family chased after a maid whose head was covered in blood. Finally, the maid even jumped into the river. They had all seen this with their own eyes.

When Xiao JingRan heard the various rumors, he was so angry that he directly fell sick.

Once Xiao Feng invited the doctor to settle Xiao Huan Xi down, the rumors would reach an irrevocable level.

Chu Junyi went out to catch up on the situation of the Hua Jun Medicinal Store and returned to the Xiao family. The entire courtyard was filled with the aura of a storm.

Xiao Feng Jue was waiting outside his courtyard. "You're back?"

Chu Junyi stood at attention, but her expression remained unchanged. "Are you waiting for me?"

"Abandoning the Xiao family for a woman, you are really bold."

"I don't understand what Big Brother is saying."

"The matters of today, one thing after another, the time points are extremely good. I haven't even reacted to them, and there's no way to reverse the situation. If I were to marry this kind of woman back home, I'm afraid the backyard will never be at peace again. "

Chu Junyi didn't answer, but she didn't waver.

Anger burned in Xiao Feng's eyes as he said in a voice that was filled with patience, "I don't understand what benefits you would get by destroying the Xiao family! Is it worth it for Shen Ninghua? "

"Big brother, you don't have anything you really want to protect. Once you find it, you'll understand what I'm feeling right now. It has nothing to do with whether it's worth it or not. It's just because I want to do it."

"Ho … I truly can't understand your so-called protection. Since you've stepped out of this stage today, don't even think of turning back for the rest of your life."

"I have a clear conscience and no regrets. There is no need to turn back."

"You have a clear conscience. You did not care about the Xiao family and the kindness in raising you, you did not care about your father's kindness in teaching you, and you did not care about the relationship between Huan Xi and your siblings. I …" You can disregard your brotherly relationship. Is this your clear conscience? You only have a clear conscience towards Shen Ninghua, right!? "

Chu Junyi's face was cold as she stared at a clump of plants on the ground, her eyes blazing with fire. "I remember the kindness of nurturing her, the love of teaching her, the brotherly love between brothers. I remember clearly that if the Xiao family needs it, I can repay you, but Shen Ninghua is the only one for me, and if I miss her, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"

Chu Junyi paused for a moment, then slowly enunciated each word, "So I can let down anyone but her!"

"Good, what a deep friendship. Then let's see just how long your relationship can last!" Xiao Feng's sharp eyes were like an unsheathed ice sword, carrying the unstoppable power after being refined by the ice and fire.

Chu Junyi didn't back down in the slightest. She exuded a majestic aura that stopped everyone in their tracks. "Then watch and see, big brother."

Within the room, Candle, who was affected by the two's auras, continuously jumped back and forth. After a long while, she finally managed to calm down.

Xiao Huan Xi had a nightmarish feeling. She woke up in the morning and clutched her chest, gasping for breath. She had no idea that today was the start of her nightmares.

She stood up and wanted to drink some tea, but suddenly there was a loud noise coming from outside the door, which made people restless. Before she could react, someone kicked open the door, and four women suddenly rushed forward to grab Xiao Huan Xi. They pushed her down onto the bed, tore off her clothes, and began to inspect her.

"Who are you people? Let go of me! Let go of me!" "Help!"
