Before he knew it, Xiao Lan-ling had walked back to Qingxin Yaju next to Qingxiao, and the sound of water came from it. Xiao Sizhe's cheerful singing came from inside.
Although the song was just one word, it was very beautiful.
“La la la la la, la la la la la…”
Lan Xi was puzzled and followed the sound of the song into Qingxin Yaju. The door was locked from the inside. He thought about climbing in through the window.
At this time, the sound of gurgling water came from Qingxin Yaju, like a soft piece of music, which made people feel relaxed.
Then, a burst of cheerful singing came out from inside. The sound was clear and pleasant, just like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley. Xiao Lan was curious, who was singing? The voice was so beautiful.
Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment under the window, and finally decided to climb in through the window to find out what was going on.
At this time, in Qingxin Yaju, Xiao Sizhe was just taking a hot bath. He soaked in the bathtub comfortably, feeling the warmth and relaxation brought by the hot water. Xiao Sizhe was in a good mood and couldn't help humming a cheerful song. He had no idea that an accident was about to happen.
After taking a bath, Xiao Sizhe jumped out of the bathtub naked. His skin was white and smooth, and the water droplets on his body sparkled. At this moment, Xiao Lan also jumped in from the window. They both landed on the ground at the same time, making a dull sound.
Both of them were startled by the sudden sound and looked in the direction of the sound. When they saw each other, they screamed at the same time: "Ah!!"
Xiao Sizhe's face was instantly filled with fear and shyness. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth was wide open, as if a walnut could fit in. His cheeks instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. He hurriedly put on his robe and covered himself with it, trembling as he put it on.
"You, you, you, didn't I tell you to leave? Why did you sneak in?"
Xiao Lan was stunned, her eyes staring straight at Xiao Sizhe, her mouth wide open as she stared at him, frozen there. Her face showed an expression of surprise and confusion, as if she had seen something incredible.
After Xiao Sizhe put on his clothes, he was furious. His eyes flashed with anger, and his face was red, like a burning flame. He put on his clothes in the blink of an eye, jumped over, pinned Xiao Lan'er to the ground and beat her: "You dare to sneak in, I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!"
Xiao Lan knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't fight back when she was beaten. She just said, "Go ahead and beat me. I saw it all anyway!"
"What? You saw everything?" Xiao Sizhe shouted angrily. His voice was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to be able to penetrate a person's eardrum. "No, no, I'm going to dig out your eyes!"
Xiao Sizhai was so angry that he was circling the room, his eyes searching for the knife. His expression was very ferocious, like an angry lion.
Xiao Lan was not afraid. She sat on the ground and said calmly, "It's no use looking for a knife! I have a mouth and I can talk!"
Xiao Sizhe shouted angrily as he searched, "Then I will dig out your eyes and make your throat hoarse! Let's see what you can say."
"I still have hands and feet! Can't I write?" Xiao Lan stood up and brushed the dust off her body.
Xiao Sizhe came over from the house carrying a big knife, with a fierce look on his face. "Then I'll chop off your hands and feet right now!" He looked so anxious that his face turned red, as if he wanted to eat Xiao Lan'er alive.
Xiao Lan was not afraid either. She said sadly, "It doesn't matter if we die sooner or later. Why don't we make a deal?"
Xiao Sizhe stopped what he was doing and looked at Xiao Lan'er with a puzzled look in his eyes. "What deal?" he asked.
Xiao Si put down the sword with a clang and supported it with her hand, her eyes full of vigilance and confusion. "What about the deal?" Her voice was low and powerful, like a muffled thunder in the silent space.
Xiao Lan cleared her throat, her eyes revealing a trace of sadness and determination. She slowly said, "I promise you, I will never tell anyone what I saw today, but you have to agree to one condition?" Xiao Lan's voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress her inner emotions.
Xiao Sizhe frowned slightly and asked, "What are the conditions?" Her eyes were fixed on Xiao Lan'er, as if she wanted to see a clue from her face.
Xiao Lan'er said sadly: "From now on, I will be buried with Brother Yan. I will accompany him into the imperial mausoleum! If you don't agree, I will tell the emperor that you are a girl like me!" Xiao Lan'er's eyes were full of determination, and she seemed to have made up her mind.
Xiao Sizhe was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Xiao Lan'er and hesitated. She knew that if Xiao Lan'er told the emperor her secret, the consequences would be disastrous. But she didn't want Xiao Lan'er to get close to Brother Yan, and she was torn.
"No! Brother Yan is mine! No one is allowed to get close!" Xiao Sizhe's voice was full of anger and arrogance. She tightly grasped the big knife in her hand, as if she was ready to fight to the death with Xiao Lan at any time.
Xiao Lan fell to her knees with a plop, her eyes filled with sorrow and pleading. "Just let me be buried with you! I will atone for my sins! The rest is up to you to avenge Brother Yan!" Xiao Lan's voice was filled with despair, she seemed to have lost all hope.
Xiao Sizhe was very angry. She shouted, "Why should I clean up your mess after you did what you did? You are really funny!"
Xiao Sizhe's eyes were filled with anger and dissatisfaction. She felt that Xiao Lan's request was too much.
Xiao Lan's knees were on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Do you think I can avenge myself with my weak strength? The only way for me to atone for my sins is to be buried with you!" Xiao Lan's voice was full of helplessness and sorrow, she felt that she had reached a dead end.
Xiao Sizhe was a little shaken after hearing this. She knew that what Xiao Lanwei said made sense. With Xiao Lanwei's power, she really couldn't take revenge. But she might still have a glimmer of hope. She sighed, saving people to the end and sending Buddha to the west! She was also used by others. She had no intention but was tainted with the sin that should not belong to her.
"Okay! But now you still have to be a slave here to atone for your sins, and clean up Brother Yan's only Qitian Xiaohan Mansion! You will accompany him when he enters the imperial mausoleum!" Xiao Sizhe's voice was full of helplessness and determination. She knew that this was the best solution at the moment.
"Okay! Thank you!" Lan Si was very happy to hear that. She grabbed Xiao Si's hand, her eyes full of gratitude.
