Yan Xiyao doesn't remember how long she has been locked in her room, and she doesn't remember how many people have knocked on the door of the room, at first she would go to open the door, and in the end, she didn't even want to open the door.

What could you do when you open the door, and almost everyone who came to her door said the same thing about her, telling her that it was the emperor's will and that she should appoint it.

Appointment, why did she appoint, and why did she appoint, she Yan Xiyao has never been appointed in her seventeen years of life, although she doesn't know why it became like this, but she just doesn't want to fix her fate like this.

She thought about running away, but every time she thought of her grandmother and father, she couldn't be ruthless, as those people said, this is a marriage given by the emperor, if she escapes, the entire Yanfu will suffer with her, she is willful, but she will not gamble with other people's lives.

Yan Xiyao didn't know what to do, so she could only lock herself in her room and isolate herself from the world, so as to comfort herself that everything was fake.

When Yan Xiruo arrived at Yan Mansion, he happened to meet his grandmother who came out of Yan Xiyao's yard, and her grandmother was followed by her eldest aunt.

The moment Mrs. Yan saw Yan Xiruo, she suddenly felt a sense of relief, she walked towards her and took her hand: "Xiruo, you and Xiyao have been the best since childhood, you go and help grandma persuade her to be okay, she won't be able to stand it if she doesn't eat or drink like this." ”

The concern in Mrs. Yan's tone Yan Xiruo understood, Yan Xiruo hugged her grandmother slightly, but it was only a few days, her grandmother seemed to be ten years old, Yan Xiruo understood that the old lady couldn't help herself, and knew her hardships, that was her beloved granddaughter, who didn't want her granddaughter to have a good family.

"Okay, I'll go see her." Yan Xiruo didn't know how to comfort the old man in front of him who was obviously sad, but he still had to pretend to be calm, this family had always been supported by her, Yan Xiruo couldn't imagine what would happen to Yan Mansion if one day, this old man fell.

"Xi Ruo, give this to Xi Yao, she hasn't eaten in a few days, even if she is in a bad mood, she can't starve herself." The eldest aunt gave the tray in her hand to Zhiyun, who was behind Yan Xiruo, and said.

Yan Xiruo looked at her, and her face was sad at the moment, as if it was her own daughter who didn't eat in the house. Looking at the things in the tray, Yan Xiruo nodded slightly: "There is Aunt Lao." ”

"Where is it, Xi Yao is the baby daughter of the fourth child, her mother has been absent since she was a child, her father is not around all the year round, I have long regarded her as my own daughter, how can there be any hard work or not." The distressed look on the eldest lady's face, if an outsider saw it, she would really believe it.

It's a pity that she acted in the wrong person, and Yan Xiruo was standing opposite her, Yan Xiruo, who knew her well.

Yan Xiruo just smiled, didn't speak again, and raised his feet and walked towards Yan Xiyao's courtyard.

She was afraid that if she stayed there, she couldn't help but loudly question the eldest aunt who said that she regarded Xi Yao as her biological daughter, and asked her why she treated her so-called biological daughter like this. Couldn't the whole Yanfu give her satisfy her, could the so-called rights, the so-called glory and wealth really be more important than family affection?

Yan Xiyao did not live in her own courtyard, but in Yan Xiruo's courtyard in Yanfu.

When Yan Xiruo stepped into Qingfeng Yuan, the only feeling was to leave it cold.

When she left the Yan Mansion and moved into the Mowang Mansion, she gave this courtyard to Yan Xiyao, and asked the maids who originally served her to move to Qingfeng Yuan to take care of her nearby, Yan Xiyao is a person who likes to be lively, so this courtyard has never been deserted.

But now, the courtyard that should have been lively is deserted as if no one had ever lived there.

Yan Xiruo's face slowly condensed, she didn't stop long, and walked straight to Yan Xiyao's room.

took the tray that Zhiyun was holding in his hand, and motioned for Zhiyun to leave. At this moment, Yan Xiyao must not want to see too many people.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and she stood in the doorway, patiently waiting for a response from inside.

"I said, I don't want to eat anything, I don't want to say anything, you go, I just want to be alone for a while." After waiting in the room for a long time, Yan Xiyao's voice came.

Yan Xiruo's hand trembled almost inaudibly, the original Yan Xiyao even had her own brazenness in her tone, but now, she heard despair and sadness from that tone, Yan Xiruo could even imagine that Yan Xiyao's face at this moment must have lost a lot of weight.

"Yaoyao, it's me." If Yan Xi didn't dare to say too much, she was afraid that the distress in her voice would be too obvious.

There was silence in the room for a few moments, and then I slowly remembered the sound of footsteps.

The moment the door was opened, Yan Xiyao subconsciously blocked her eyes with her hand, she hadn't seen the outside world for too long, and she hadn't seen the sun for too long, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while.

After her eyes adjusted to the sun, she raised her eyes to look at Yan Xiruo in front of her, and suddenly felt that her grievances had found an outlet.

Yan Xiyao threw herself into Yan Xiruo's arms without caring for anything, crying like a child: "Xiruo, what should I do, what should I do." ”

Yan Xiruo put one hand around her and let her cry wantonly, now she may not need comfort, but to indulge herself to vent her dissatisfaction in her heart: "It's okay, Yaoyao, I'm here, I'm by your side." ”

Yan Xiruo didn't know how long she and Yan Xiyao had been standing at the door, and the only feeling she had had was that the hand that had been holding the tray went from pain to numbness, and then to no feeling at all.

Yan Xiyao finally cried enough, and when she left from Yan Xiruo's arms, she found that half of her shoulders were wet, and Xiruo's other hand had been in this raised posture, she took two steps back with some embarrassment, and motioned for Yan Xiruo to go in.

When Yan Xiruo put down the things in his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Eat some, I heard grandma say that you haven't eaten well for a few days, even if you are unwilling and unhappy, you can't starve yourself, your body is your own, and if you collapse, you are still the one who suffers." Yan Xiruo pulled Yan Xiyao, pressed her to the table, and pushed the tray in front of her.

This time Yan Xiyao didn't resist, maybe because she had just cried, maybe because Yan Xiruo's words also felt some truth, she really felt very hungry at the moment, she didn't say anything, picked up chopsticks and ate.

Yan Xiruo sat beside her, watching her eat slowly, no one spoke between them, just stayed quietly, and there was only the sound of Yan Xiyao occasionally touching the plate with vegetables in the empty room.

Yan Xiyao was really hungry, and after a while, she ate all the things in the tray. Wiping the corners of her mouth, Yan Xiyao looked at Yan Xiruo: "You know everything, right?" ”

"Well, Zhiyun told me." Yan Xiruo's tone sounded very calm, but Yan Xiyao, who knew her, knew that there must be a fire brewing in her heart at this moment.

Yan Xiruo lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Xiruo, am I a failure, everyone says that the eighth lady of Yanfu is self-confident, but I can't even dominate my own marriage, and I myself feel that I have failed in life." If you say, if I hadn't come back at that time, wouldn't everything have been different? ”

Yan Xiruo took Yan Xiyao's hand and felt all her sadness: "Yaoyao, you don't fail, none of us are losers, we may not be able to change those established facts, but you are still you, you can still be the flamboyant and confident Miss Yanfuba." Perhaps, you are right, if you hadn't come back at the beginning, maybe everything would have been different, but Yaoyao, you can't go back to the beginning. ”

"Xiruo, I'm unwilling, I'm really unwilling, I'm unwilling that my whole life is gone, but I can't do anything, I don't dare to run away, I'm afraid that my grandmother, uncle, and father will be implicated, but I'm really unwilling." Yan Xiyao's eyes fell again, she has thought a lot these days, but she always falls into a dead end and can't get out.

Yan Xiruo stood up, hugged her in his arms, stroked her hair, and comforted her carefully: "Yaoyao, no one can decide your life. I was also unwilling, I also struggled to marry Xuanyuan Mo, and I also had no choice, my identity made me have to choose so, but you see, I'm fine now. God is fair, if he deprives us of one thing, he will definitely repay us with another. Yaoyao has two sides to everything, it depends on whether we can find it. ”

Yan Xiruo stayed quietly in Yan Xiruo's arms, thinking carefully about her words, for a long time: "Xiruo, have you ever regretted it?" ”

"No, I have no regrets since I chose to marry. The former unwillingness, the former struggle, is gone after getting married. After marrying Xuanyuan Mo, I realized that it would not be the end of my life, but the beginning of another part of my life. ”

"The beginning of another life?" Raising her head from Yan Xiruo's arms, Yan Xiyao stared at Yan Xiruo, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.

Knowing that at this moment, Yan Xiyao was able to observe Yan Xiruo well, and she seemed to have really become different.

Yan Xiyao suddenly seemed to have figured it out, stood up, and smiled: "Yes, why should I be unwilling, why should I define my whole life like this, even if that man is spending, even if he doesn't love me, I am Yan Xiyao, why should I care about his feelings, he is distracted, I will let him not be distracted, he doesn't love me, I will let him die for me." I just believe I can't change that. ”

Yan Xiruo didn't speak, just looked at Yan Xiruo, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared.

Yan Xiyao's reaction was expected by Yan Xiruo, Yan Xiruo was indeed not worth it for Yan Xiyao, but she didn't think it was the worst.

Lou Jingxuan is Lou Shangshu's only son, and Lou Jingxuan's sister is one of the emperor's most trusted people, if acting can really change Lou Jingxuan, then what's wrong, at least, Lou Jingxuan can be used by them in the future.

Yan Xiruo knows that she is a little despicable and ruthless, but things have come to this point, she is unwilling, what is the use of her being unfair to Yan Xiyao, she can't change the emperor's mind, and she can't change the established facts, what she can do is to evaluate the value of that person.

Lou Jingxuan may be very careful, but apart from Huaxin, he didn't hear other rumors about him, which at least proves that this man's nature is not bad, and he can still be saved.
