Chapter Seventy-Eight: Sophistry

Li Xuan suddenly felt inexplicable. When he was about to ask more carefully, Xiyan had already hurriedly lowered his head and fiddled with the chopsticks in his hand.

Ning Ruo's face also changed almost invisibly. It's just that she has always been introverted, and others have never noticed it.

"Isn't that the day you set out?" Old Fujin said, "Don't you know...... Oh," she realized, "yes, you didn't know. We were afraid that you would be worried, so we didn't tell you. ”

Li Xuan was about to ask, but Ning Ruo had already opened his mouth-

"Speaking of this, it has also been pressed in my heart for a while, while you are in good health today, in front of Eniang, I must ask you to forgive Xiyan." She said to Li Xuan with a guilty face, and then turned to Xiyan, "Xiyan, speaking of which, it's all my sister's...... On that day, Li Xuan went on the expedition, and you originally asked someone to invite him to come over to see him, but because you were sick at the time, I was afraid that Li Xuan would be distracted by you, so I took it upon myself to press down on this matter. Seeing that Xiyan's face really changed greatly, Ning Ruo hurriedly said, "Originally, I should have explained to you earlier, but ...... Seeing that you are so sick, I am afraid that it is because of this matter, and I am also worried that if I sue you at that time, you will think that I have the intention to hide the traitor, and then I will have a relationship with me. hesitated, but became more and more afraid to speak. Later, when I saw that you and Li Xuan often exchanged letters, I thought that maybe you would talk to each other about it, and then according to your temperament, you would inevitably come to ask me, and I would explain to you later...... But you never asked—"

"Even if no one asks, you should take the initiative to say it," Li Xuan's expression was dark, and he said in a deep voice with a cold face, "I shouldn't have concealed it at that time, and I didn't explain it afterwards, and you were really wrong this time." ”

"Yes, it's all mine, it's not." Li Xuan has always spoken softly to her, how could he ever use such a bad tone? Ning Ruo's eyes turned red instantly, and he blamed himself, "It's the first time I've encountered such a thing, I didn't have an idea in my heart at that time, I just thought that I couldn't let you worry no matter what, but I didn't think about it so thoroughly." Afterwards, although I was always anxious, I felt ashamed of you and Xiyan, but I always had luck in my heart, and I felt that if I could hide it for a while, after a long time, you might not be so angry when you knew it again......"

"Hide? How long are you going to hide it? Li Xuan said angrily, "Then if E-Niang doesn't mention it today, do you still want to hide it for the rest of your life?" ”

"No," Ning Ruo said with a slight cry in his tone when he opened his mouth to explain again, "...... Even if E-Niang doesn't say it, I will definitely find an opportunity...... ...... told you," she was so aggrieved that she couldn't speak.

"What is this for? Have a good meal, you have to make a fuss like this. Old Fujin, who had been watching coldly just now, suddenly said, "Don't blame Ning Ruo." As the prince of Fujin, she also has the responsibility to take care of you so that you have no worries. She didn't mention Xiyan's illness at the time, and there was nothing wrong with it. Old Fujin paused, "As for the fact that she didn't explain it to you later, her worries are not superfluous. Besides, you were on the battlefield at the time, can you fly back knowing this? ”

"It's okay if she doesn't tell me, but at least she should explain it to Xiyan." Li Xuan asked Ning Ruo again, "You said that you were afraid that Xiyan would be separated from you because of this, didn't you think that we would also have a gap in our hearts because of this?" ”

"I ...... I was afraid, but then, when you exchanged letters frequently, I thought, naturally...... It's fine......"

"Ning Ruo, there is indeed something wrong with you." Lao Fujin couldn't help but say, "Xiyan has never been such a cautious child, if you had made it clear to her at that time, she would never have bothered with you for such a trivial matter...... It's also that you have too much heart. ”

"Yes, E-Niang has to teach me a lesson. It's all my fault. I had good intentions, but I was self-defeating. Ning Ruo lowered his head and said softly, secretly glancing at Li Xuan. Li Xuan's face was ugly, and his eyes were only on Xi Yan.

He's ...... now. Must be so angry with her.

"Don't feel bad." Old Fujin smiled disappreciatively. "This is also your sincere nature, you want to put it in someone else's house, what decision does Fujin make, how can you need to explain it to someone so much? You still take it seriously, and specially take it out and explain it seriously," Old Fujin looked at Xiyan and said, "Xiyan, can you also say something?" Are you also blaming you in your heart, and you would rather be your sister? ”

"I ...... I didn't ......" Xi Yan came back to her senses from the shock just now, and hurriedly lowered her head and replied respectfully, "Don't blame Sister Ning Ruo...... It's all my fault...... Be...... It's me who doesn't have a sense of proportion...... Make such a request...... Just...... It will embarrass my sister......"

Lao Fujin nodded and said approvingly, "You can think like this is a good boy." When I first heard this, I thought you were underthinking. You're going out, how can you still see what you want by your own temperament? Not to mention whether Li Xuan will worry about you, just say that if the illness is given to him, can you afford this responsibility? ”

"Yes...... Eniang...... Be...... It's Xiyan who is too ignorant......" Xiyan choked slightly.

"Eniang, how can this be blamed on Xiyan? It's obviously -- " Li Xuan saw Xiyan's appearance, and he felt even more unbearable in his heart, and he opened his mouth to justify.

"Alright, don't make a mess here." Old Fujin interrupted him with a frown. "Look, why are you all crying?" Lao Fujin is humane to Xiyan Ningruo. "Now it's all clear, it's just a trivial matter with more words and fewer sentences, it's not a big deal. Let's just turn the page on this matter, and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future. Lao Fujin said, "I'll talk about it today, how should you get along with each other in the future, and no one is allowed to make trouble about this matter, otherwise E-Niang will not be happy." Do you understand? ”

"Yes, my daughter-in-law understands."

"Yes, Xiyan knows."

Lao Fujin had a smile on his face, and said with satisfaction, "Okay, let's eat quickly, if you don't eat again, the rice will be cold." ”

Li Xuan frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw that Eniang had spoken, he didn't say anything more, but just looked at Xiyan meaningfully. Xi Yan's chopsticks were held in his hand, and he trembled violently under extreme forbearance.

It was rare to have a happy reunion dinner, which made everyone feel like a fish in their throats, and finally had to disperse hastily in silence.

Here Xiyan returned to the room in a distraught manner, sent all the subordinates, and wanted to be alone and quiet, and someone over there had already followed and came uninvited.

"Xiyan, open the door!" The rapid knocking on the door seemed to be endless......
