Mr. Gui didn't really want to torment Tao Jingyi, he just had a bad taste and wanted to tease her.
He sat down on the edge of the pool, with one leg bent, and looked sideways at her with a playful look in his eyes.
Tao Jingyi couldn't figure out what the **** he was doing, so he pursed his lips and said, "Why did you lock me up?"
"I didn't intend to lock you up. You were hit by the flame palm. After seven days, when your injury heals, I will send you away."
"real?"
"real."
Tao Jingyi's heart was pounding. She also knew that if she was hit by Lie Yan Palm, she would need to soak in the medicine spring for seven days to get rid of the fire poison. Even if you want to leave the Doll Villa, you can only wait seven days later.
"Then why did you lock me?" She raised her wrist and shook the chain, which jingled again.
"You are not good, if you are not locked, you will definitely walk around." Walking around in the doll villa, but it is terrible, he will not appear by her side in such a timely manner every time.
"Then I won't wander around, I'll sleep in your room every day, okay?" Incarnate as a ghost boy, you can't carry a qin sword, his qin sword must be hidden in his room.
Mr. Gui was startled, but before he could answer, a maid came in with a tray in her hand and knelt down in front of him.
There are medicines and meals in the tray, with medicine on the left and meals on the right. Mr. Gui stretched out his hand, picked up the medicine bowl, and waved to Tao Jingyi: "Come here."
Tao Jingyi struggled, looked at the food on the right, and discussed: "Can I eat first?"
There is braised pork, which is burnt brightly and is very delicious at first glance. There is also mushroom soup, with fresh and tender tofu in the soup, she is almost dying of hunger.
"No, drink the medicine before you can eat." Young Master Gui said.
Tao Jingyi didn't like to drink medicine, but for the sake of his own health, he still succumbed to Mr. Gui's lust. After drinking and eating, it's time to soak in the medicinal spring. The maid presented a clean dress, and Mr. Gui unlocked the lock for her, and left the house.
Tao Jingyi dried himself off and changed into a clean dress. The maid took out a box of ointment and applied it to the palm prints on her back. After doing all this, she said to Tao Jingyi, "Girl, let me tie your hair up for you."
After finishing her hair, the maid led her into a room. The furnishing of the room is very simple, the celadon stove on the table is burning with fragrance, the white mist rises into the sky, and there is a faint fragrance of plum.
Tao Jingyi sat down by the bed and touched the soft quilt.
The maid took the gold chain and buckled it around her wrist, and said in a low voice: "Girl, I'm offended."
Tao Jingyi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where are my things?"
She hid a dagger, a wooden hairpin, and five hundred taels of silver notes on her body. When she woke up, these things were gone.
"Your servant doesn't know, you can ask the young master."
"Where's the devil?"
"He is having dinner with the owner in the front hall, and he should be returning to his room later, you can ask him in person."
"Wait, go back to your room? Back to me?" Tao Jingyi's eyes widened.
"Yes, this is the son's bedroom."
After the maid finished saying this, she left, leaving Tao Jingyi alone with a look of being struck by lightning.
She just casually proposed to rest in his room, but he didn't expect him to let her live in. She let go of the quilt in her hand and stood up.
Great opportunity! Before Mr. Gui came back, he searched to see where Qin Jian was hidden.
The length of the chain was long enough for her to walk to the window and do it as soon as she said it. She first turned over on the bed, and then squatted down to turn under the bed.
The bottom of the bed was empty except for two pairs of black boots.
That's the wardrobe! Tao Jingyi walked towards the closet, just as he opened the closet door, a voice came from the door: "What are you looking for?"
Tao Jingyi was taken aback, and with an idea, he replied, "The key!"
Gui Gongzi didn't know if he believed it, he stepped in and said calmly: "The key is with me."
"Where's my dagger, hairpin, and bank notes?" Tao Jingyi stretched out his hand towards him.
Gui Gongzi couldn't help but patted her palm lightly: "As your living fee in my house, it has been deducted."
Tao Jingyi gritted his teeth: "Even if my son is a golden nest, it's not worth five hundred taels."
"There's food money, medicine money, clothes money, maid's salary..." Mr. Gui counted each item for her with his fingers.
Tao Jingyi: "..."
"It's late at night, go to bed early." Mr. Gui said, looking at the moonlight outside the house.
Tao Jingyi immediately sat by the bed, pointed out his hand, and said bluntly, "I'll sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor."
"This seems to be my house."
"I paid the rent, a total of five hundred taels." Tao Jingyi lay down after finishing speaking. She was not worried that Mr. Gui would play hooligans, he was not such a vile and shameless person.
For the next seven days, Tao Jingyi soaked in the medicinal spring in the puppet villa. The palm print on the back disappeared little by little, and the fire poison in the body was almost cleared.
On this day, Young Master Gui tied her to the bed with a gold chain again, and Tao Jingyi couldn't help reminding, "Today is the seventh day."
"I remember, I will send you away tomorrow morning." Young Master Gui said.
"It's the same if you let me go now. It's not dark yet." Outside the window, the sun was setting, and the whole Doll Villa was shrouded in maroon light.
"It's seven days, it's seven days."
"Forget it." Tao Jingyi rolled his eyes and raised the chain in his hand, "When I leave, can I take this chain with me?"
She had bitten it with her teeth, and it was a real gold chain.
After Young Master Gui left, Tao Jingyi sat on the bed bored waiting for dinner. She lived in this room these days, and almost searched it from inside to outside, but there was no sign of Qin Jian.
She was puzzled, not to mention the Severing Love Sword, the violin is very conspicuous and so precious, where did Duan Feibai hide them when he turned into a son.
***
In the long corridor, a maid in yellow hurriedly walked towards Tao Jingyi's room holding a tray. This girl is the young master's heart, she can't be hungry at all, but today the kitchen boiled bone soup, it took half an hour longer, the girl is probably hungry by now.
A figure suddenly stood in front of the yellow-clothed maid, she raised her head suspiciously, and was stunned: "Miss Biyu."
"Give it to me." Biyu stretched out her hand towards her.
"This..." The maid in yellow was in a dilemma. She had always served Tao Jingyi, and the young master did not allow anyone else to get close to Tao Jingyi except her.
"My son asked me to take over. He said that you are clumsy and always make that girl Tao unhappy."
How can there be. The maid in yellow retorted in her heart, obviously that Miss Tao is very happy these days. But she didn't dare to say these words. This Biyu girl is the owner's personal maid, a big celebrity in the village, and no one dares to offend her.
"Give it to me if I ask you!" Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Biyu lost patience and couldn't help snatching the tray away.
"Miss Biyu..." The maid in yellow showed a look of perplexity.
Biyu gave her a cold look, and walked away holding the tray.
Of course it wasn't Mr. Gui who asked her to come here. Tao Jingyi pierced her with a hairpin that day, and she still remembers it clearly to this day. She thought she was dead, but she didn't expect that she would return to the Puppet Villa, and even fascinated Mr. Gui.
New and old grudges count together, and Biyu has long hated her so much. Holding the tray in her hands, she pushed open the door, and the dagger hidden in her sleeve was out of its sheath.
"Miss Tao, please eat." Biyu put the food on the table, and quietly clenched the dagger in her hand.
Tao Jingyi yawned, and walked towards the table. When his back was turned to Biyu, a stern look flashed across Biyu's face, he raised the dagger in his hand, and stabbed at the back of her neck.
Unexpectedly, Tao Jingyi seemed to have eyes on his back, not only dodged the knife, but also grabbed her wrist.
After not seeing him for half a year, Tao Jingyi's martial arts improved a lot. In just a few strokes, Biyu was made immobile at all.
Tao Jingyi quickly tapped her acupuncture points, took the dagger from her hand, and said with a soft smile, "I really think I'm so stupid."
"Suddenly changed people, a fool can see that there is something wrong." Tao Jingyi poked her cheek, "Yo, I'm still an acquaintance. Look at your ferocious face, as if you want to eat me."
Biyu was panting heavily with anger, and the veins on her forehead were twitching. Unfortunately, Tao Jingyi sealed her acupuncture points, so she couldn't make a sound.
Tao Jingyi twirled the dagger in his hand, and walked towards the bedside: "Miss Biyu, thank you for sending me the dagger, it really helped me a lot."
Biyu stared at her fiercely.
Tao Jingyi took the dagger and sawed the wood holding the chain. This dagger was very sharp, and after a while, there was a gap in the middle of the wood. Tao Jingyi took off the chain, walked to Biyu, rolled his eyes.
After about a stick of incense, Tao Jingyi, who was wearing jasper clothes, opened the door furtively and walked out.
The setting sun sank a little more, and the maroon light covered Tao Jingyi's cheeks. She stood behind the colonnade, wrapped the gold chain around her wrist and covered it with her sleeve.
Don't expect to get the other things back, at least this gold chain will be taken away, it's worth it!
As for Mr. Gui's nonsense about sending her away tomorrow, she didn't believe it. These days, she has seen his stalking ability.
It's just that the problem of stealing the piano and sword is more troublesome...
Could it be possible to really consider Xia Mingyuan's proposal to seduce Duan Feibai? No matter what, leave the doll villa first, go find Xia Mingyuan and talk about it later.
Tao Jingyi rubbed his cheeks, and quickly left along the corridor.
Not long after Tao Jingyi left, Mr. Gui stepped into the house with a serious face, followed by the maid in yellow who was serving Tao Jingyi. After Biyu snatched the food, she was very disturbed, so she reported the matter to Mr. Gui.
There was no one else in the room, and there was only one person lying on the bed, tightly covered by the quilt. Mr. Gui stepped forward and lifted the quilt, and under the quilt was Biyu who was full of panic.
"Go and receive the punishment yourself." Gui Gongzi gave her a cold look, threw off the quilt, turned his head and left.
The Puppet Villa is very big, even though it is not the first time to come back, Tao Jingyi still has not figured out its layout. She bowed her back and tried her best to take the road with few people. If she ran into Duan Hongying like last time, she would be doomed.
Twilight is everywhere, the sky is getting darker a little bit, and the lanterns are lit up one by one. Lanterns were swaying in the breeze, and groups of maids passed down the corridor carrying supper.
It should be time for Duan Hongying to eat.
The place where Duan Hongying lives is naturally the most strictly guarded place in the entire Doll Villa.
Tao Jingyi avoids them, hides his figure in the shadow, sticks to the base of the wall, and walks in the opposite direction.
Tao Jingyi's guess was right, the farther away from Duan Hongying's residence, the fewer guards there were, and along the way, he hardly saw anyone except the occasional maid passing by.
Passing through the path, a small door suddenly appeared in front of him, which was inlaid in the middle of the white wall. Tao Jingyi was overjoyed, thinking that this was the back door, but when she opened the door, she discovered that behind the small door was a deep courtyard.
The yard was quiet and there were no lights on, but judging from the neatly trimmed flowers and trees in the yard, it was obvious that someone lived in the yard.
"Hurry up, if it's later, that master will lose his temper again." There was a sound of footsteps, accompanied by the anxious voice of the maid from behind.
Tao Jingyi hurriedly dodged and hid behind the rocks in the courtyard.
"Hey, why is the door open?" the maid was surprised.
"Never mind, turn on the lights," said another.
The two stepped into the room quickly, and after a while, a dim yellow light came on, coming out from the half-open door.
"Master, it's time to eat." Not long after the lights came on, the maid's respectful voice came.
Tao Jingyi was secretly puzzled, he didn't know which master lived in this courtyard, and he had never heard that besides Duan Hongying and Young Master Gui, there was another noble master in the Puppet Villa.
"Why are these things again? Is this for people to eat! Go away! Get away from me!" There was a sound of crackling dishes and dishes smashing to the ground, and then the two maids hid their faces and exited in a panic.
Tao Jingyi frowned, only felt that the boy's voice in the room was slightly familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
