Essie glanced at the cup fearfully and refused: "Thank you, no need."

Lu Ange looked at her with puzzled eyes. Ai Qian coughed dryly and said, "Well... the doctor said I can't drink cold water."

Lu Ange nodded in understanding. It was normal not to drink cold water when you were sick. He happened to be hungry at the moment, and originally planned to come to the kitchen to grab two steamed buns to eat. Who knew that Bai Mansion didn't have the habit of leaving rice, and there was nothing in the kitchen except raw meat and lettuce.

Ai Xi looked at him and felt that she might not need to wake up Xiaoxing. She said, "Why don't you help me boil water."

Lu Ange was silent. He was boiling water in the kitchen. What if soldiers were attracted?

At this time, several soldiers walked outside and shouted toward the kitchen: "Who's in there?"

Ai Xixin said that it was not easy for him to eat secretly in the kitchen in the middle of the night, so she might as well help him. She smiled at Lu Ange, walked out of the kitchen and said, "Xiao Xing and I are boiling water in the kitchen."

When the soldiers saw that it was a young lady, they didn't dare to say anything and left in a hurry. Essie walked in and said, "They're gone. You can boil the water."

So Lu Ange, who went to the Bai Mansion to steal food, boiled water for Aiqi inexplicably.

The firewood from Baifu is all good quality firewood, which is forbidden to burn and easy to light. A pot of boiling water was boiled in a short while. Lu Ange watched Ai Qian use the boiling water to boil the tea cup and thought to herself, are all the servants in the White House so particular?

Ai Xi turned around and said, "What are you looking at me doing? Aren't you eating? Eat."

Lu Ange said with an indifferent expression: "Do you think there is anything edible here?"

At this point, Lu Ange suddenly realized that even if there was nothing cooked to eat, he could make it. Sneaking into the White House kitchen and cooking in a brazen manner seems quite exciting. He brought bacon and some vegetables over and said to Elsie: "You cook, I'll light the fire."

Essie looked at him in disbelief, "You want me to cook?"

Lu Ange: "I've already boiled water for you, what's wrong with you cooking for me?"

Essie: "You don't know I am..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Ange said, "I'm starving to death."

Essie: "..."

Ai Qian finally realized something was wrong. Would the servants of the White House not recognize her? She asked Guaiguai, "Isn't this person someone who came in to steal things from outside?"

"You can also say that." Guaiguai said: "But he also has an even more incredible identity."

"What identity?"

"The male protagonist."

"..."

"Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I asked why a servant is so handsome. It turns out to be the male protagonist...

Lu Ange was stared at by Ai Xi's complicated eyes for a long time, and finally asked: "You don't...can't cook, right?"

"I can!" How could she refuse the male protagonist's request? Essie rolled up her sleeves and said, "What do you want to eat? I can do anything!"

Bai Xunmei can't cook, but Ai Xi can.

Ai Qian did what she said, rolled up her sleeves and made two dishes and one soup for Lu Ange, including both meat and vegetables. Lu Ange had been living on the move for a long time, and often couldn't eat even one meal a day. Now he was eating steaming hot dishes and one soup, and he was so happy that he almost cried.

Ai Qian looked at Lu Ange who was immersed in eating, and asked cautiously: "Is it delicious?"

Lu Ange raised his head and commented reservedly: "It's not too unpalatable."

Essie: "..."

If he hadn't been the male protagonist, Essie would have chopped off his head with a spatula right now. Ai Qian endured it for a moment and told herself that this was the male protagonist she had written, and that he had written it with his own hands, and that he would kill you without mercy when he becomes awesome. Thinking of this, Essie could finally say calmly: "I'm so sorry, how about I do it again?"

Lu Ange felt that the girl in front of him was so pitiful. She had lost all her temper after being persecuted by the Bai family. The Bai family was so hateful.

Lu Ange took a deep look at Ai Xi and promised: "Don't worry, I will rescue you sooner or later."

Ai Xi: "..." Thank God if you don't kill me.

After struggling for a long time, Ai Xi finally returned to her room in fear. She knew that Lu Ange had come to inquire before entering the Bai Mansion, but she never expected to run into him as soon as she went out. Essie shivered in bed and had a high fever early the next morning.

Bai Yuan hurried over to see his baby daughter and was furious at the doctor, "Didn't I say that her health has been much better recently? Why is she having a fever again?"

The doctor was so frightened by Warlord Bai that he trembled and said, "Miss Bai caught a cold last night."

Bai Yuan glared at Xiaoxing, "How do you take care of Miss?"

Xiaoxing knelt down and began to wipe her tears.

"It's no use." Bai Yuan walked around the room twice and said, "You don't have to wait on Miss."

Xiaoxing's little face turned pale with fright. Ai Qian opened her eyes in illness and said: "No, no, no, no..."

"Good girl." Bai Yuan immediately came over with a kind face and said, "What do you want, good girl?"

Essie: "Xiao Xing..."

Bai Yuan: "Don't worry, I will get Xiaoxing away right away."

"No...cough cough cough..." Ai Xi struggled to say: "I want Xiaoxing."

"Okay, okay, I want Xiaoxing." Bai Yuan said sadly: "You are always sick, and your father will be scared to death by you."

As soon as Lu Ange entered the Bai Mansion, he was startled by the sorrow on everyone's faces. Bai Yuan's adjutant said worriedly: "The lady is sick again, and the commander's hair is turning gray again."

Lu Ange asked: "Ms. Bai...does she often get sick?"

"It's always bad to take medicine for more than ten years to treat a weak disease brought out in the mother's womb." The adjutant sighed, and suddenly remembered something and said: "When you join the White House as a clerk, don't do it in front of the lady if you have nothing to do." Hang around, Miss has a bad temper."

Lu Ange said to herself that she was not in good health and had a bad temper, but she was so angry that she thought she would take revenge.

Essie had been ill for half a month. Half a month later, she finally came out of the room, her whole body trembling and weak. Xiaoxing supported Ai Xi and said, "Where do you want to go, young lady?"

As soon as she heard this, Elsie began to burst into tears. There are so many villains in this novel, why do I choose to be Bai Xunmei? She gets sick all the time. Where else to play? I don’t know how long I will be sick after this.

Essie said pitifully: "Where can I play?"

This question also stopped Xiaoxing. Xiaoxing thought for a long time and said: "The lotus flowers in the mansion are blooming. Do you want to see them, miss?"

When Essie arrived at the lake, she realized that the so-called lotus blossoms meant that one or two lotus flowers had already bloomed, and the rest were all skinny flower bones.

Fortunately, there was no wind today, so Essie looked comfortable by the lake. She stood for a while and felt a little tired, so she said, "Go and ask someone to bring a deck chair. I want to lie down and look at the lotus flowers."

"Hey." Xiaoxing went immediately, thinking that just a recliner would definitely not be enough. The lady's cloak and tea and snacks must be indispensable. She knows the lady very well.

Lu Ange worked as a clerk in the Bai Mansion for half a month, but never found any opportunity to get close to Bai Yuan. After sending the telegram that day, he wanted to go out for a walk after lunch. The only place worth strolling around in the entire Bai Mansion is this lake. At this time, the lake is full of elegant flower bones, which looks very elegant. Lu Ange walked around the lake, and then he saw Ai Xi standing by the lake playing hachi.

He recognized at a glance that this was the girl who cooked for him that night, and now he always felt a sense of disobedience when looking at her. Ai Qian opened her mouth wide and looked around while playing Hache, and then she saw Lu Ange in military uniform.

"..."

Lu Ange wondered if he should go up and say hello. Ai Qian thought that if he saw him, he would not recognize the wrong person if he wanted to kill her in the future.

While he was thinking wildly, Lu Ange walked over and said, "Come and see the lotus flowers too?"

Essie: "..." What should I do? He came closer, what if Xiaoxing came over later and revealed his identity?

Lu Ange took a step closer, and Ai Xi immediately took a step back. Only then did Lu Ange realize what was different about Ai Xi. The clothes Ai Xi was wearing were not something a servant could afford. Lu Ange subconsciously began to guess Ai Qian's identity. At this age, she was not a servant. The only people in the entire Bai Mansion who met this condition were Bai Yuan's daughter Bai Xunmei... and the twelfth aunt who was new to the manor.

Bai Xunmei was a young lady with poor health and a bad temper. How could she know how to cook? So Lu Ange guessed that the person in front of her was the legendary twelfth aunt who was forced into the house by Bai Yuan.

Elsie was still looking at Lu Ange nervously, but suddenly Lu Ange's eyes changed, and he looked at Elsie full of sympathy.

Essie: "..." Essie wondered what he was thinking about? Are you thinking about how to kill me in the future, so you look at yourself with sympathy now? Does he know his identity?

"Ahem." Lu Ange said seriously: "You don't have to be so nervous. I won't tell anyone what happened that night."

Essie looked at him blankly, what did this mean? Why do you act like you have something to hide? The one you should be worried about is yourself.

Essie thought for a while and then asked: "You are not a kitchen helper, why are you wearing a military uniform?"

Lu Ange didn't take it seriously at all and asked: "You are not a servant of the Bai Mansion. Why are you wearing such expensive clothes?"

Ai Xixin said when did I say that I was a servant? Lu Ange's tone was a bit strange. Ai Xi wanted to find out whether he knew his identity, so she said: "You... know my identity?"

Seeing Ai Xi's nervous look, Lu Ange was filled with hatred for Bai Yuan. Such a young girl was almost as old as his daughter, yet Bai Yuan, a beast, could actually do it. Lu Ange nodded sadly, "I understand."

Ai Xi's face turned pale and she thought it was over, he would definitely not let her go. She looked at Lu Ange in horror and said, "I...I am innocent, you can't..."

"Don't worry." Lu Ange suddenly put his hand on Ai Xi's shoulder, "I won't look down on you."

Essie: "Huh?"

"This is not your fault, it's all that beast Bai Yuan." Lu Ange's tone was full of hope, "You have to believe that this life will not last forever, and sooner or later you will be free."

Essie: "..." What on earth is he talking about? Why can't I understand a word?

Essie felt that he might have recognized the wrong person. Who did he think he was that made him speak like this? Essie said: "You...really know who I am?"

Just as Lu Ange was about to say something, Xiaoxing came over there with a group of people. Ai Qian became nervous, but she didn't know that Lu Ange was even more nervous than she was. He said, "Someone is coming. I'll leave first. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone what we talked about today."

After speaking, Lu Ange turned around and quickly disappeared on the other side of the lotus pond. Xiaoxing came over panting with a cloak and said: "Miss, everything has been moved here. You can lie down and look at the lotus flowers."

Because she suddenly met Lu Ange, Ai Qian had no intention of looking at lotus flowers. She waved her hands very tiredly and said: "I won't read anymore, I want to go back."

"Huh?" Xiaoxing stared at Ai Xi with wide eyes, and then came back to reality. She told herself in her heart, after serving the lady for so long, haven't you gotten used to the lady's moodiness and capriciousness?

Xiaoxing waved her hands to a group of people carrying chairs and tables behind her, "Take them all back, Miss. I don't want them anymore."

Aisie walked back, and Xiaoxing followed Aisie like a dog and said, "Miss, are you tired? Is there anything you want to eat?"

Elsie wanted to eat a bit too much, she said, "I want to eat everything."

"Then I'll ask the cook to make more delicious food." Xiaoxing said happily: "Now that the lady has an appetite to eat, she will naturally feel better."

Ai Qian thought to herself that Bai Xunmei's body might not recover. She stopped and saw a group of people in front of her, surrounding a young woman. The woman was dressed very gorgeously, and her whole face was full of pride and self-satisfaction.

Essie asked strangely: "Who is that? Why have I never seen it before?"

Xiaoxing said: "Miss, you have forgotten, this is the twelfth aunt who has just entered the house."

"The twelfth concubine?" Ai Qian remembered that she heard Xiaoxing talk about this person when she was lying in bed recuperating. It was said that she was a good girl from a small family and was unwilling to be Bai Yuan's concubine. She made a fuss when she first entered the house. It's a matter of life or death, but it doesn't look like he's unwilling to do so now.

Essie wondered: "Didn't you say that she is unwilling to marry my father?"

"Yes, there was a lot of trouble in the first few days after entering the house." Xiaoxing said with disdain: "Later, the master took care of her for a few days and gave her a lot of clothes and jewelry that she had never used. Now she can I’m so proud.”

"..." It seems that there are really not many people in this world who can persist in themselves despite the temptation of money and power. Essie thought sadly, thinking that there are really few people like her who regard money as dirt.

Lu Ange walked around to the other side of the Lotus Lake and was about to go back and finish the work at hand. As long as he shows his ability, Bai Yuan will take a fancy to him and he can get close to Bai Yuan. On his way back, Lu Ange saw a group of people surrounding a young woman walking past in a swaggering manner. This must be Bai Xunmei.

People outside thought that Bai Xunmei was a sickly beauty like Lin Daiyu. Only when they met her did they realize that she was nothing more than that, not as good as that girl who cooked delicious food.

Lu Ange watched the group of people walk away from a distance. He stared at the lotus leaves in the lake as if he was afraid of getting his eyes dirty. He thought of that day when he came back from school and noticed something was wrong with the village from afar.

This country has been in turmoil for a long time. Lu Ange was glad that his home was in a remote village and not in the city. The ancestors of the Lu family also served as officials, so they purchased a lot of land in the village. After the empire fell, the Lu family lived in the village. His father teaches, and his mother is also a lady. The family lives a very leisurely life guarding the fields.

He met Luan Hong, whom he had met once when he was a child, near the school. He was about to go back to celebrate his father's birthday and ask Luan Hong's opera troupe to come to the village to sing for two days.

He sat on the boat and gradually approached the village, and then he saw the corpses by the river and the blood that had not yet flowed down the river.

He no longer remembers how he entered the village. He only remembers that when he was kneeling in front of the corpses of his parents in a daze, the old village chief who could not walk said that the warlord came to borrow food and that his parents could not afford so much food. So he was killed and his family property was robbed.

The leader said that they were Commander Bai's people.

How many Commander Bai are there here?

The adjutant saw Lu Ange standing by the lake in a daze from a distance. He came over and pushed Lu Ange and said, "What are you thinking about? You look so ugly?"

"Ah?" Lu Ange came back to his senses. He reluctantly softened his expression and said, "It's nothing."

The adjutant smiled and said: "A grown man is staring at flowers, does he miss a woman?"

"No." Lu Ange smiled and said, "I just miss home."

"What about your family?" the adjutant asked, "brother, do you want me to help you rent a house in the city and bring your family over to live there?"

"No need." Lu Ange said: "It's really no need. My family is all dead."

Looking at Lu Ange's dark eyes, the adjutant suddenly felt a little worried. Why is this kid acting so weird?

The adjutant left as he had something else to do, and Lu Ange walked quietly to where he lived. He felt that he was not brave enough. Even if he assassinated Bai Yuan, he still wanted to escape as much as possible. I don’t know why, but he probably knew that even if he killed Bai Yuan, there would still be countless Bai Yuans in the world.

Because of her encounter with Lu Ange at the lake, Ai Xi didn't dare to go out for a walk in the next few days. After that, she finally couldn't stand it anymore. Although she was a homebody, that was when she had access to the internet and a mobile phone. In this environment, Essie felt that she might become stupid if she continued to stay like this.

Xiaoxing took out the embroidery equipment and said, "Miss, why don't you embroider."

Essie looked at her fearfully, "You don't want to do it anymore?"

Xiaoxing said aggrievedly: "Then what do you want to do, miss?"

"Go for a walk." After thinking for a while, he added, "Go to a place with few people."

The only place with few people in Baifu is the backyard. Fortunately, the yard is not small, and the antique house in the backyard is quite interesting to look at. Although Xiaoxing doesn't know what's so interesting about these houses, she is willing to accompany her to look at them as long as the lady likes them, even if they are lumps of cake.

The two of them walked to the wall unknowingly. Through the fan-shaped flower window, Essie seemed to watch a figure passing by. She pointed there and said, "Did you see anyone walking past just now?"

"No." Xiaoxing said, "Behind the wall is the street. It's not surprising if someone walks by."

Essie felt strange in her heart. It was normal for people to pass by on the street, but when it wasn't raining or sunny, would there be people walking against other people's walls?

She thought about it and walked in that direction. After a while, she heard a joke. The sound was not very loud, but it was very penetrating.

Xiaoxing smiled and said: "Someone is singing an opera. Miss, do you want to listen to the opera?"

The song is about Su Sanli leaving Hongdong County, and even people like Ai Qian who have never heard of operas can tell that the song is very good. At this time, someone came over. Ai Xi took a closer look and found that it was Lu Ange. She was so frightened that she was sweating and quickly stepped back and hid behind the rockery.

Lu Ange stood at the base of the wall and listened quietly for a while, then reached out and patted twice before the singing and opera outside stopped. Ai Xi knows who the person outside is, it is Luan Hong, the heroine of this article.

At this time, the majority of opera singers were still men, and there were not many women who were as good at opera singers as Luan Hong. Although the figure that flashed by just now was not very clear, such a thin figure was not something a man would have.

Lu Ange left after a while, and Ai Qian knew that he went out to meet Luan Hong.

Xiaoxing stood aside and said excitedly as if he knew some terrible secret: "Miss, this is a tip-off. It's just like in the play, imitating birds to call signals. Let's go and tell the master."

Ai Xi turned her head and glared at Xiao Xing fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't tell this matter, or I will blow your head off!"

Xiaoxing looked at Ai Qian with grievance and fear. Ai Qian wanted to know if Luan Hong was looking for Lu Ange because the Revolutionary Party wanted to cooperate with Bai Yuan. She said to Xiaoxing: "Do you know where the Tibetan Flower Troupe is?"

Xiaoxing nodded aggrievedly: "I know."

"take me."

Unexpectedly, Essie overestimated herself. She sneaked out like this and was exhausted not long after leaving. Bai Xunmei's physical fitness was too poor. When Xiaoxing saw Ai Qian's weak appearance, she was worried and said, "Why don't you go back? If you want to watch a show, you can invite the theater troupe into the house."

Essie also felt that she couldn't do anything eavesdropping or inquiring about information like this. She waved her hand, "Hurry up and help me. I'm going back. I'm sweating so much that I feel like I'm going to be sick again."

As soon as the two turned around, they heard a surprised voice behind them: "Cousin?!"

Essie turned back: "???"

A young man wearing a snow-white shirt, an open black vest, and shiny hair trotted over. This young man's skin was originally dark, but he applied a thick layer of hair wax and combed his hair into a three-quarter length. It was already very modern in terms of aesthetics at this time. When Ai Xi looked at him, she just wanted to cover her eyes to prevent herself from being blinded.

He called himself cousin, and Elsie was trying to remember who this cousin was.

I heard this person say: "Cousin, I have given away all the women I kept outside. Can you agree to my marriage proposal now?"

Essie: "!!!"
