Chapter 54: No Longer True
He Zhi's room was next door to Wei Lai, and she did return to her room after she left in a hurry. It's just that the door was pushed open and closed again, and it seemed that it was only a blink of an eye, except for the faint hearing Xi Qiu call "Miss" with a slight start, and all the next sounds were blocked by that door, making it impossible to explore anymore.
The door was half open, and Wei Lai stood in the room for a long time, until the inn's junior second passed by the door for the second time, and tentatively knocked on the door and asked, "Guest officer, do you have any orders?" She finally came to her senses.
Sending the kind-hearted shopkeeper away, Wei Lai closed the door with his hand, but the next moment he turned around and sat on the ground with his back against the door - it turned out that after confessing to YiqiΔ, it was not as easy as she imagined, and she was sad, bitter, panicked, and the superposition of all kinds of negative feelings made her at a loss.
Wei Lai, who was left alone in the room, was not having a good time, but He Zhi, who hurriedly ran back to the room, was in even worse condition. The tears that were forcibly held back in Wei Lai's room couldn't help but burst the embankment almost the moment he stepped into the door.
Xi Qiu, who came back one step earlier, was making the bed, but when he heard the movement, he looked back, and unexpectedly saw the scene of his own young lady crying silently. She was startled and just shouted "Miss", and saw He Zhi slamming the door tightly with her backhand. It was as if something terrible was about to come after her, and she was going to keep it out.
The little girl threw down the quilt in three or two steps and ran over, although she didn't understand what was going on, but she naturally knew that it was Wei Lai who took people away before. Seeing that his young lady was crying as soon as she came back, Xi Qiu's first reaction was to go to Wei Lai to settle the account: "Miss, is General Wei bullying you?" You wait, I'll go find her! β
Xi Qiu's age is not very old, and his temperament is still a little reckless, so he didn't think about it at all, how could he find a high-powered general to settle accounts? Not to mention that the force value of the two is no longer at the same level at all, so it is impossible to retaliate in private. But her loyalty is grateful, especially for He Zhi, who is fragile at the moment.
"Don't go." He Zhi grabbed Xi Qiu, but she only said these two words and didn't explain. Wei Lai's identity is a secret, even if she is upset at the moment, and even has a faint resentment towards Wei Lai, but there is always a trace of clarity in her heart that reminds her that she can't say that Wei Lai's secret can only be a secret, otherwise, there will be no return!
"But Miss ......" Xi Qiu has been by He Zhi's side for many years, but it is the first time she has seen her crying, how can she not be anxious? It's just that she was grabbed by He Zhi's arm, so she naturally couldn't force herself to break free, and finally had to circle around He Zhi anxiously.
"Okay, don't say anything, I'm fine...... Rest, rest, and that's it. He Zhi seemed to want to squeeze out a smile to reassure Xi Qiu, but her mood at the moment made her completely unable to make the most commonly used expression on weekdays. So just trying to hook her lips, she gave up in frustration.
Xi Qiu is not a smart person, but as a subordinate, he will naturally be able to observe words and feelings. Seeing that He Zhi's feelings seemed to have calmed down a little, she naturally wouldn't worry about the scenery any further, so after thinking about it, she said, "Then miss, I'll go and bring you a basin of water to wipe your face." β
This time He Zhi didn't stop it, maybe she didn't have the heart to pay attention to Xi Qiu anymore. And when Xi Qiu passed by Wei Lai's house after going out, he still reached out and pushed the door after a little hesitation, but naturally he couldn't push it open, so he could only give up in frustration - these two rooms were too close, if she knocked on the door, the young lady in the room would definitely hear it, and it would be difficult to explain at that time.
The little girl was rare and considerate to leave He Zhi with a quiet and lonely environment, in fact, He Zhi is not the kind of weak woman who can only cry when she encounters trouble. I've asked and asked, I've cried and cried, I've experienced the initial helplessness and rare venting, and after the silence around me returns, the troubled mind has finally calmed down.
It's just that He Zhi, who has calmed down again, suddenly found that when Xi Qiu was going to go to Wei Lai to settle accounts just now, her first reaction was not anything else, but she was worried that the other party's relationship was unstable at the moment, and she had divulged the secret of her life experience, and finally attracted the disaster of killing......
In fact, things have long been beyond everyone's expectations. Whether it is He Zhi, who successfully plotted her fiancΓ©, or Wei Lai, who has made up his mind to withdraw from the marriage sooner or later from the beginning of the marriage, he is no longer in his original intention at this moment. Because the most uncertain thing in this world is the human heart.
******************************************************************
Sleepless nights.
Early the next morning, Wei Lai, who was in a state of mind, did not wait for He Zhi. She and the coachman waited in the lobby of the inn until the end of the hour, only to see Xi Qiu staggering out of the guest room, and then turned around and told Xiao Er to prepare breakfast and send it to the room.
Obviously, not only did Miss He not plan to set off, but she was not even ready to show her face.
Unexpectedly, it is reasonable that Wei Lai has nothing to say, but there is a feeling of panic in his heart for no reason. After thinking about it, she finally stepped forward to stop the little girl who ignored her and was about to go back to the room after giving the order: "Xi Qiu, wait." β
Facing Wei Lai, Xi Qiu didn't have a good face. These days, it was not easy for her to change her opinion of Wei Lai, and she really regarded the other party as her future aunt in her heart, who knew that when she turned her head, the other party bullied her own young lady, causing the young lady to cry secretly, and she was not allowed to ask for justice! Now that Wei Lai took the initiative to come up, she naturally looked unwelcome: "Is there anything wrong with General Wei?" β
Yesterday, when He Zhi left, the situation was out of control, Wei Lai saw it, and he didn't know if the other party had told Xi Qiu about it because of a moment of excitement, and such uncertainty made Wei Lai hesitate for a while. So after a slight hesitation, she asked, "Jinrui, ...... Are you okay? β
Xi Qiu was so angry when she saw Wei Lai's hesitant appearance, she had never seen such an incomprehensible person!
The so-called "bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused". After getting along these days, Xi Qiu could of course see that Wei Lai cared about He Zhi, and He Zhi didn't secretly agree. But the parties seem to be a little confused, plus the two of them didn't know what was unpleasant yesterday, and they all held back their words in their hearts, General Xiao Wei is still a big man, what kind of trouble is he going to make so hesitantly? !
At this moment, Xi Qiu may be able to understand their current situation better than the two parties, but people's hearts are biased, she will not feel that He Zhi has anything wrong, but it is not the case with Wei Lai. Xing's eyes were round, and Xi Qiu's face was not angry: "My young lady is not good!" She was unwell today and could not leave. If General Wei can't wait, he can go home on his own. β
When Wei Lai heard this, his heart suddenly sank, and his face even turned slightly white. After a moment of silence, she pursed her lips, and finally asked, "Did Jinrui tell you to tell me this?" βγ
