"this……"

The two women turned around blankly and looked at each other.

They all saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

The tense atmosphere between the two girls that was originally tense due to the quietness and mystery of the courtyard suddenly disappeared.

Fang raised his sleeves and stepped forward. Fang Shengnan stopped hiding and quickly followed.

The two girls first quickly checked around the quiet courtyard and found that there was no one there... It was just like an ordinary house in this neighborhood.

Under the setting sun, they arrived at the entrance of the quiet courtyard.

The courtyard door is unlocked.

Cover it up.

I don’t know if I forgot it or if I kept it for someone.

Fang Shengnan still frowned, holding the hilt of his sword and remaining vigilant.

Fang raised his sleeves and pushed open the courtyard door silently.

They walked into the courtyard with light steps.

"Long Ling—Long Ling—"

In addition to the increasingly rich aroma of the food, an unheard of strange jade sound sounded from time to time, echoing melodiously in the courtyard, making people feel at ease.

There was no one in the outer courtyard, and the lobby was also empty, but a lamp was lit, and the strange jade sound came vaguely from the direction of the kitchen.

And by the commotion, there is someone in the kitchen.

Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan took a deep breath, became more cautious, kept walking, walked through the lobby and walked into the backyard with their waists bent.

The scene in the back kitchen suddenly came into view.

I saw the more virgin woman, wearing a navy blue floral apron, slim and quiet, standing by the stove, head lowered, busy in her hands, washing vegetables and cooking with concentration.

On the stove next to her, several plates of steaming hot meals were already prepared and placed quietly.

This virgin lady, who was so beautiful that the two girls felt a little ashamed of themselves, was very skillful in cooking even though her eyes were covered by a sky-blue ribbon.

The sleeves of both arms were rolled up, revealing a dazzling white bowl. She raised her hand from time to time and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand.

"Long Ling——"

The more virgin woman's hair is raised up like a married woman's bun, and an ice-white jade hairpin is inserted into the high temples.

As she diligently washed vegetables and cooked, the ice-white jade hairpin pendant swayed, making a special jade sound. It was the source of the special sound that Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan heard just now after they entered the door...

Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan looked stunned.

There was only the busy figure of this virgin lady cooking virtuously in the yard, and there was no one else.

The scene before them was indeed beyond their imagination.

Even if they saw the smoke in advance, the two girls had imagined many possible explanations for it before entering the door, such as there were other outsiders in the yard, or the more virgin lady was having a Hongmen banquet... But they never expected it to be this simple.

Unpretentious results.

There was only the faint sound of washing vegetables in the backyard.

Zhao Qingxiu turned sideways to Fang Shengnan and Fang Qixiu. From the moment the two women walked into the backyard, she never looked back and seemed to turn a deaf ear.

Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan looked at each other.

Suddenly, they saw the virgin lady in the kitchen, her hands stopped washing vegetables, she raised her head, her little face was staring at the kitchen wall in front of her.

Silence fell suddenly inside and outside the backyard. Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan also held their breaths and concentrated, taking in the majesty inherent in the noble status of this young master, not daring to make the slightest sound.

But the sky was too dark, so they couldn't see clearly Zhao Qingxiu's expression. Was he in a daze or something? He was motionless.

After a while, the girl blindfolded with azure ribbon lowered her head again, wiped her hands on her apron, groped her way to the stove, and picked up a plate of pastries that seemed to have been prepared long ago.

Zhao Qingxiu held the pastry in both hands, walked out of the kitchen, came to the stone table in the courtyard, and placed the pastry on the table in front of the Fang sisters.

"Ahhh."

She opened her mouth calmly, made two sounds, spread her little hands forward, and motioned for the two girls to sit down, eat something and rest.

"I...we..."

Being served by Lady Yue, who was a virgin, Fang Shengnan's face immediately flushed with excitement, and he was hesitant and tongue-tied.

The calm-tempered Fang Jixiu was a little better, just a little bit. She licked her dry lips, took a step forward, bent her legs and clasped her fists, bowed her head and gave a big salute:

"Hug, I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Yue Virgin, came to the door to bother you. I didn't know what you were doing..."

Zhao Qingxiu didn't seem to be surprised. She supported the two excited and admiring girls and interrupted their conversation.

"Yeah."

She came back to her senses, smiled slightly, pointed at her mouth with her index finger, and then waved her hand to indicate that she could not speak.

Immediately afterwards, he comforted the two girls and sat down to rest.

"It's okay, I understand. Your Excellency, you are a noble person and you should speak less... By the way!"

As soon as his butt touched the stool, Fang raised his sleeves and thought of something. He stood up quickly, took out a bronze dagger from his sleeves, and offered it with both hands:

"This thing is..."

The next moment, she didn't even see Zhao Qingxiu's movements clearly, the bronze dagger in her hand had disappeared.

Fang Juxiu lowered his head in shock, and felt the heavy weight in his sleeve again... Yun Mengling was stuffed back again.

At the same time, she felt a delicate hand from the virgin lady in front of her, pressing on the back of her hand.

Zhao Qingxiu slowly shook her head.

Fang held up his sleeves but hesitated to speak. He frowned and took a closer look. When he saw the lady in front of her shaking her head, she had a look on her face that was... a dazed look that she couldn't understand.

Unlike Fang Shengnan who was full of confusion, Fang Juxiu reacted immediately and asked subconsciously:

"Your Majesty Yue, is it inconvenient now..."

Before she could finish speaking, there was a burst of movement at the door, mixed with footsteps.

It seemed like someone strode through the door, put down their baggage, and walked to the backyard.

"Xiu Niang, I'm back... Hey, who's here at home?" A man's shout echoed through the lobby.

"who?"

Before the two women could stand up and be alert, a handsome young man walked into the backyard, walking with his hands behind his back.

Fang raised his sleeves. Before Fang Shengnan took a closer look at the text, he found that the original text in front of him was quietly bouncing around like a rabbit.

"Ahhh."

Zhao Qingxiu's voice was happy, and she ran back to the kitchen and brought out a basin of hot water that had been prepared, with a clean towel placed on the edge of the dish.

She came to the handsome young man wearing a blue Confucian shirt, and held up a hot water basin with a happy face for him to wash his hands and wipe.

"I come."

In the eyes of Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan, who were gradually shocked, the handsome young man stretched out two fingers, pinched the azure ribbon that had slipped slightly on the bridge of the virgin lady's straight nose, and lifted it up.

After the intimacy, he took the hot water basin from her hand, strode past them, walked into the kitchen, and placed it on the stove.

The more virginal lady was obedient, holding on to the sleeves of this handsome young man throughout the process, and followed him back to the kitchen.

The handsome young man bent down to wash his hands, and at the same time turned his head sideways, seeming to glance at them in the yard outside.

"Xiu Niang...these two...your friends?"

His curious voice came out intermittently.

"Yeah."

The more virgin lady nodded obediently, walked to the sink, and washed the dishes.

"Wait a minute." The handsome young man suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the few strands of hair that had fallen from the virgin woman's temples to her red little ears.

In the yard, Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan, who had witnessed this silky scene all the way, looked very excited for a moment.

Before the two women could finish digesting it, the handsome young man and the virgin lady had already carried the food together, walked out of the kitchen, and came to the table.

It was just because the sky was dark and a handsome young man suddenly arrived. A series of "bold behaviors" were so dizzying that the Fang sisters were a little unable to react.

But now he was clearly in front of me.

Ouyang Rong bent down to place the dishes and said hello casually:

"It's rare for Xiu Niang to have relatives and friends come to her house. She didn't entertain her well in her humble house. I hope you two girls won't be surprised. I'm Ouyang... Uh, by the way, have we met during the day?"

"ah?"

Zhao Qingxiu, who was serving rice to Tan Lang, turned her head curiously and seemed to "look" at them.

At the table, Fang Shengnan was stunned.

Fang Juxiu looked at Ouyang Rong's gentle and smiling face with a complex expression.
