20. Chapter 20
That night, Xie Liangying rested after washing.
It's Qingqiu who is on duty tonight. However, after she and her clothes lay down outside and pretended to sleep, it was not long before she opened her eyes again. I heard no sound around me, so I got up, pushed open the door and walked out.
The courtyard door was locked, and the mother-in-law who guarded the door sat by the door and dozed off little by little. Qingqiu took something out of his pocket, shook it under her mother-in-law's nose, called a few times, and saw that her mother-in-law did not answer, so she had the courage to take out the matching key and open the courtyard door, and secretly pushed it open. The courtyard door was greased, and there was no sound when it was pushed open. Qingqiu took advantage of this convenience and quietly walked out of Xie Liangying's yard. She didn't have a candle in her hand, and carefully groped her way out in the dark.
After she left, a black shadow flashed from behind the bamboo bushes at the gate of Xie Liangying's courtyard. He watched Qingqiu leave, his eyes mocking. When Qingqiu went out, for convenience, the courtyard door was not re-locked. With a slight push from the shadow, the courtyard door opened. He glanced at the sleeping doorkeeper, his eyes sank slightly, and then he familiarly touched Xie Liangying's house.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard are blown by the night breeze, making a slight rustling sound. Xie Liangying looked at the bamboo shadow outside the window, her eyes closed, and she fell asleep in this voice. Finally, he couldn't resist the invasion of sleepiness, his eyelids closed, and he fell into a deep sleep.
The black shadow came down from the beam, pulled down the black veil that covered his face, and looked at Xie Liangying on the bed with a complicated expression.
Xie Liangying, who was asleep, turned over, stretched out half of her hand, her sleeves rolled up to it due to the movement, and her white arms were covered with a layer of light in the moonlight.
The man in black stepped out of the shadows, and the moonlight illuminated his faceβit was Xue Jian.
Xue Jian approached the bed and sat down, muttering, "It's true......" He struggled a few times, and finally reached out to Xie Liangying, gently tracing her eyebrows. I don't know what Xie Liangying dreamed of, and her brows kept furrowing.
Xue Jian gently held Xie Liangying's hand that was exposed, and said lightly: "Little thing without conscience, how can you be willing to ......" There was a bit of complaint and a bit of spoiling in his tone.
The warmth of the palm of his hand seemed to tell Xue Jian that this qiΔ was not his dream. He was really reborn after life and death in southern Xinjiang, not a fantasy that appeared due to drunkenness in front of his beloved wife's grave.
Thinking of the moment he opened his eyes again, Xue Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly. At that time, the barbarian king of Southern Xinjiang who was dressed in gorgeous clothes beside him was separated, but he was seriously injured and soaked in blood. After fighting his way through a bloody road, he dragged his seriously wounded body and continued to travel north.
This was the most tragic battle before he became a marquis, and the hell-like scene was something he could never forget for the rest of his life. On the way north to Beijing, he was ambushed and pursued many times, and Xue Jian, who was in the middle of the bloody road, roughly sorted out the matter. He wasn't a big believer in ghosts and gods, and what had happened to him now was incredible.
Is it really back in the past?
With doubts, Xue Jian sneaked into the Begonia Building where the chrysanthemum banquet was being held at that time like in his previous life. That was where he and Xie Liangyun first met. From southern Xinjiang to the capital, what supported him on the road of a thousand miles was the wish to see Xie Liangying again.
If she really comes back again, she will protect her, so that she will not be disturbed by the Xie family, and tell her that she has been hiding from her, so that she can see the true face of the Xie family.
However, he stumbled all the way and fled back to the capital, but the person who finally pushed the door open was not the person he was thinking about.
The panicked Xue Jian was at a loss. He found Xie Liangying's biological father and broke the father-daughter relationship between them to him regardless of the situation. That's a person who is kind to himself. Looking at his shocked eyes, Xue Jian began to examine the qiΔ he had encountered after waking up. Before closing his eyes, he tried to numb himself with alcohol in front of Xie Liangying's grave. After getting drunk, he can return to his life and Xie Liangying's life again and again. And along the way, the pain, blood, people and things encountered are so real, completely different from when you are drunk.
But if God really let him go back to the past, then why did it not Xie Liangying but someone else who appeared in Haitang Tower. Without the encounter with Haitang Tower, he and Xie Liangyun would be Yunyang Hou and Miss Xie Wu who had no intersection. Xue Jian held the attitude of giving it a try, and took advantage of the momentum of his holy family to hold the opening banquet. In the name of the banquet, he saw Xie Liangying, who was hidden in the Xie Mansion. Suppressing the excitement of seeing his beloved wife again, Xue Jian found that she was a little different.
The innocence and innocence are no longer there, and there are a few slight, almost invisible wrinkles between the eyebrows. That's a table of overthinking. For Xue Jian, who has lived by speculating on people's wishes since he was a child, it is really easy to see the changes in Xie Liangying. There is no one in the world who knows Xie Liangying better than him.
What surprised Xue Jian even more was Xie Liangying's eyes flashing from beginning to end. He secretly wondered if he could be born again, did that mean she could too?
But if Xie Liangying is reborn, why don't you go to Begonia Tower. Obviously, in her previous life, she loved to talk about this thing the most. Whenever I talked about it, I would take a long breath, pat my chest and say that I was lucky to go, and fortunately I pushed open the door of the side room because of curiosity.
After Xue Jian's opening banquet, he asked people to check what Xie Liangying had encountered in recent years. The emperor did not trust the Xie family as much as he seemed, and as early as when the Xie family began to secretly join the queen, he planted eyeliner in the Xie Mansion. Using this eyeliner, Xue Jian knew that Xie Liangying's temperament had changed greatly. Combined with the deliberate blindness to himself at the table, Xue Jian overturned the possibility that Xie Liangying was possessed by others. Even if the possessed person knows himself, those small movements unique to Xie Liangying can't be done by others.
This is none other than Xie Liangying. He vows to protect her for the rest of his life, but in the end he makes her the heart happy to be poisoned.
Xue Jian gently picked Xie Liangying up from the bed and held her in his arms, his chin lightly resting on her hair. He couldn't help but rejoice in the joy of regaining. No matter how Xie Liangying becomes, whether he is violent or shrewd, he accepts it all.
As long as that person is Xie Liangying.
He will never be soft-hearted to the Xie family again this time, let alone let go of Liu Chengfang, who has been harming Xie Liangying, because of Chai Jin. Every debt he has to get back.
Then he locked Xie Liangying up, and he didn't see anyone else except himself. Only then will he no longer endure the pain of separation.
Xie Liangying suddenly felt a little restless, struggling in Xue Jian's arms, and dense sweat appeared on her forehead. Xue Jian was afraid of disturbing her, so she hurriedly put the person down and eagerly observed her state.
Xie Liangying's eyes opened suddenly, and she woke up from the nightmare. The moment she saw Xue Jian, Xie Liangying covered her mouth with her hands before she screamed.
Xue Jian smiled lightly, this was the same as his first night attack in his previous life.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Xie Liangying asked in a suppressed voice: "What is the intention of Yunyang Hou to visit people's boudoirs late at night?" As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to beat herself hard.
Xue Jian bent down, his smiling face looked extremely bewildering in the moonlight, "Now the whole capital is rumoring that I am interested in Miss Xie Wu, and I will tie the knot in a few days." Naturally, I came to see what my future daughter-in-law would look like. β
Xie Liangying's face burned red when he saw it, so he had to lower his head and said: "Second Miss Zhao has the grace to save her life with Hou Ye, Hou Ye rashly refused, and she is so tired that she doesn't dare to go out now." It's chilling to be so affectionate. β
There was a slight frost on Xue Jian's face, was this to push him out. It's a shame that I'm still thinking about how to continue the love of my past life with her, and I really have no conscience! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Xue Jian opened his bow with both hands, pinched Xie Liangying's face left and right, and pulled it out, "It's soft to pinch, how can you say it so hard and chilling." β
"Let it go!" Xie Liang's watery eyes looked at Xue Jian innocently, she waved away Xue Jian's hand and rubbed her cheek, which was pinched a little painfully.
Seeing her like this, Xue Jian was a little distressed, just now he had already saved his strength, but it seemed that he still hurt someone. He put his hand on Xie Liangying's hand and rubbed it with her, "I didn't mean to do it just now, but it still hurts?" β
The doting eyes and Xue Jian's movements made Xie Liangying's heart skip a beat, she remembered that she had scratched her hand when she was cooking in her previous life, and Xue Jian also coaxed her like this. The decision she had made before came to her mind again, she immediately pulled the quilt to wrap herself, left Xue Jian far away and hid in the corner, and said angrily: "It doesn't hurt." β
Xue Jian withdrew his empty hand and straightened up to look at Xie Liangying. After a long time, he said: "The Xie family may not be sincere to you, you don't only think about filial piety." If someone fails you, you repay you with virtue, how can you repay the grievances? β
Xie Liangying stopped tossing the quilt and raised her eyes to look at Xue Jian.
The two of them looked at each other like this, and it wasn't until the courtyard door was opened, and the light that came in shone on Xie Liangying's house, did they separate their heads as if they had just woken up from a big dream.
Xue Jian took out something from his waist, put it at the head of the bed, and finally glanced at Xie Liangying, and said, "Take care of the people around you." With that, he pulled Xie Liangying with lightning speed, dropped a kiss on the side of her face, and quickly jumped out of the window and disappeared without a trace.
Xie Liangying touched the place where Xue Jian had kissed, and only felt that the temperature in her palm was terrifying. Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed to pop out of her chest.
It turned out that even if they met again, Xue Jian still cared about himself. Xie Liangying's heart was sweet, and her heart that had been hanging in the air was returned to its place because of Xue Jian's kiss. Thinking of her previous plan, Xie Liangying bit her lip. She boldly thought that perhaps, she could also really change her fate and make herself no longer a burden to Xue Jian.
She didn't want to leave Xue Jian again, and she didn't want to force herself to make such a decision again.
Qingqiu came in with a candle from the outside at this time, and saw Xie Liangying sitting there, her face a little stiff. "Girl...... Haven't slept yet? β
Xie Liangying said lightly: "Where have you been?" I've called you for a long time but you haven't answered. β
Qingqiu said with a flickering expression: "The slave maid was a little upset and went to the thatched house." It's better now. β
Xie Liangying stared at her a few times, "If you don't feel well, go and rest, you call Qingxia and call her to be on duty tonight." β
Qingqiu smiled reluctantly: "The slave can still hold on, now that Sister Qingxia must be asleep, don't trouble her." She came over to re-lay the bedding for Xie Liangying, "I'm going outside, if the girl has something to call me, just call me." β
"Go ahead."
Waiting for Qingqiu to go out, Xie Liangying stretched out her hand from under the quilt and looked at the small-faced man in the palm of her hand. The Monkey King of the face man Zhang has always liked it very much.
Xie Liangying looked at the Monkey King and couldn't help laughing. She pressed the noodle to her chest, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
