After all, liking someone should not be a reason for her to do whatever she wants. No matter how much Gu Qingyun pays, Xie Ning really can't understand her behavior.

"I thought you understood, thought you would be willing to tell me." Gu Qingyun smiled slightly bitterly, her voice gradually lowered, and it almost became a mutter, but Xie Ning heard it clearly.

It's a pity that Xie Ning won't be stupid anymore to comfort her, "This is a private matter of His Royal Highness King An, don't say whether he is willing to tell you or not, even if he really doesn't mind, this matter shouldn't come out of my mouth." Miss Gu, you asked the wrong person. ”

Gu Qingyun glanced at Xie Ning, blinked her eyelashes almost invisibly, but didn't ask too many questions, but changed her voice and said, "By the way, I haven't had time to congratulate you on your marriage with Gongzi Wei." ”

Xie Ning nodded slightly, only to feel that the other party was looking for something to say, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient in his heart. She hates to be with others the most, not because she can't restrain her disgusted emotions, but because she doesn't want to hide herself, so that even the truest thoughts in her heart can only be hidden.

But in all fairness, not many people give her that feeling. Xiang's mother and daughter have a tense relationship with her, although the two parties look at each other and hate each other, they can live under the same roof, except for the usual and necessary travel, but there is not much intersection.

And what made her bored and unwilling to deal with it was not only Xia Rouyu, but now she added Gu Qingyun.

Xie Ning believed that the other party didn't fail to see her suddenly becoming detached, but she really didn't understand Gu Qingyun's intention to talk to her again and again.

Yes, the two did get along with each other. can be after learning what Gu Qingyun did to Qin Feng and Wei Qingcheng. Shainin really found it difficult to look at her as if nothing happened.

It's not that she listens and believes, but the facts are there, and she can't help but believe it. What's more, she has also done her part in the matter of Yandi's suppression of bandits, and Xie Ning has long been unable to suppress her resentment in her heart for the rumors that have become more and more prevalent in Beijing before. And then after learning the truth that Gu Qingyun was also involved, how could she easily forgive the other party?

Therefore, as soon as Gu Qingyun's voice fell, Xie Ning said conveniently: "Thank you." Then I'll go back to my room first. ”

Regarding Xie Ning's behavior, Gu Qingyun was not surprised. After a slight bow. Then he said: "It's okay, Sister Xie has just arrived today, and she must have been a little tired." We'll talk about the rest another day. ”

That's it. She didn't think there was anything else to say between the two.

Xie Ning heard this. At that moment, he couldn't help but snort coldly. But the steps did not stop, and went straight back to the room without mentioning it.

***

On the day they first came to Fuwei Temple, their dinner was served in the dining hall. It's just that it's different from the novice in the temple. Xie Ning and the others were arranged in a private room separated by a screen.

It was very unfortunate that Gu Qingyun actually dined with them. However, the only fortunate thing was that the other party was sitting with the Gao family sisters, and he was far away from Xie Ning, the cousin of the Jingyang Hou Mansion.

In addition to Gu Qingyun, there was another person at the table that Xie Ning did not expect, that is, the eldest son of the Xiang family and Uncle Hou, her nominal cousin Gao Jibai.

The table at which the people were seated was square. The private room is small, and there is no seat at the top, so Liu sits in the first place on the right hand, and the next number is Gu Qingyun, Gao Yiyao, and Gao Yiyan, and on the opposite side, there are Xiang, He, Gao Jibai, and Xia Rouyu.

There was no other place at the table, and Xie Ning had no choice but to sit next to Gao Yiyan. But she didn't complain much about this time.

After all, she is just a relative of the Marquis of Jingyang who is not related by blood, and on such occasions, I am afraid that there is only one thing that can be done to accompany the last seat.

If she didn't sit in the seat under her, only Xia Rouyu's seat opposite could be exchanged.

And her cousin, who has never met a few times, seems to dislike her very much, and every time she sees her, she has an attitude of avoiding her. Xie Ning really didn't want to go up and find himself bored, and in comparison, he would rather be at peace when he came. After all, sitting next to Gao Yiyan, the other party would not talk to her.

Xie Ning had a good idea, but who knew that she had only eaten half of the meal, and she would come to the door in trouble.

"Why hasn't Sister Xie finished her meal yet? A few of us plan to go to the courtyard with you to admire the moon later. "Naturally, it was Gu Qingyun who spoke.

As soon as she spoke, Xie Ning stopped the chopsticks in her hand, and while bowing her head to swallow the food that was just being brought to her mouth, she glanced at the movements of the people around her without a trace.

She is a martial arts practitioner, never slacking off in her muscles, and her body has always been healthy, but she certainly eats more than others. But as soon as Gu Qingyun's words came out, she inevitably gave people the illusion that she was the only one at the table who was still eating, and everyone else was waiting for her.

But after all, not everyone has run out of food. Aside from Xie Ning, Gao Jibai and He who were sitting opposite were still holding bamboo chopsticks in their hands, and even her grandmother Liu was wrapping dim sum with a brocade handkerchief.

Gu Qingyun's words were intentionally aimed at her. Xie Ning turned the corner in an instant, secretly worried, and as soon as her voice fell, she naturally raised her head and said with a slight smile: "The food in this temple is very delicious, I'm just afraid that it will take a while to run out." If Miss Gu wants to find someone to admire the moon, let's go with my cousin first. ”

Although there were people eating at the table, Shainin did not refute it. Instead, on the grounds of the meal in Fuwei Temple, after a little praise, he naturally rejected Gu Qingyun's invitation.

Gu Qingyun looked at Xie Ning with a little embarrassment, and muttered without saying anything: "But ......"

Xie Ning didn't care what she wanted, in short, it was already displeasing to her to deal with Gu Qingyun at the moment, not to mention the Gao sisters and Xia Rouyu. didn't want to stage any sisterly drama with them at all, Xie Ning thought about it, and he had already thought of a way to deal with it, just waiting for her voice to fall, and she was about to speak.

"It's rare to have a good night, since you have the heart to admire the moon, go out and have a look." After everyone was silent for a long time, just when the atmosphere was about to stalemate, Liu suddenly raised his head and spoke, first glanced at Gu Qingyun, and then turned his gaze to Xie Ning.

Shainin is still a grandmother to ask her to go with her, and the elders have a life. Don't dare to disobey, and was about to stand up depressedly, when the other party's very soothing voice came from his ears - "As for Ning'er, stay here to accompany my old wife to eat." It's rare to have such delicious food, and we shouldn't live up to the good intentions of your masters. ”

I didn't expect my grandmother to say this in the second half of the sentence, Xie Ning's eyes lit up, and in an instant, he didn't hide the joy in his heart, and grinned: "Ning'er has this intention, so it's better to be respectful." ”

On the other hand, Gu Qingyun. But his face was pale. The smile on the corner of his mouth was also extremely reluctant, "Then let's go out first." If Sister Xie is free, she will go to the courtyard to find us. ”

Shainin kept smiling on his face. A simple "hmm". What I think. But it was completely contrary to what Gu Qingyun said, and after they left, they were under Liu's wave of hands. Moved a few seats forward.

At this time, the Xiang family and the He family had also left, and in addition to Xie Ning and Liu, only Gao Jibai, who was still eating, was left in the private room, and Xia Rouyu, who had obviously stopped chopsticks but was still sitting on the seat.

Xie Ning just swept into her figure unintentionally, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart-after all, Gu Qingyun had already invited everyone to go to admire the moon, and Xie Ning thought that Xia Rouyu would also leave, but he didn't want the other party to stay where he was silent, although he didn't say anything to refuse.

But...... Xia Rouyu didn't look like she was dissatisfied with Gu Qingyun and them. So why did she stay here?

Xie Ning became more and more confused, so he couldn't help but look up in Xia Rouyu's direction, but saw that the other party's neck was half-hanging, his head was slightly lowered, and there was no superfluous movement in his hands, just sitting quietly in his seat.

However, I don't know if it's because of the light in the room, Xie Ning only feels that from her point of view, the other party's skin color seems to have changed a little from the appearance in her impression in the past, like the first blooming peach petals, with a slight pink and white.

When she looked up like this, the Liu family, who was sitting on the side, was also keenly aware of something strange, and looked up at Xie Ning's line of sight, and then frowned without a trace, and said in a slightly deep tone: "Ji Bai, grandmother hasn't asked you yet." Good manner, why did you come back from the academy without even saying hello? ”

Although Xie Ning had a bad relationship with this cousin, she also knew that the other party was studying outside on weekdays, after all, she had been in the Hou Mansion for several months, but she had never seen the other party.

Gao Jibai put down the chopsticks and raised his head unhurriedly, although he heard the harsh meaning of Liu's words, he still said unhurriedly: "My grandson wants to surprise my grandmother." ”

Liu naturally waved his hand at him, and although the expression on his face softened, he still couldn't help but say angrily: "Then you can't even go to the academy for this little thing, right?" ”

Gao Jibai got up with a smile, and then sat closer to Liu's meaning - the seat opposite Liu's also happened to be opposite Xie Ning.

Although they are called cousins, there is not much contact between the two. Now sitting so close to each other, it can't help but be a little embarrassed, and after a brief glance, they each turned their eyes away.

Although the current atmosphere is a little weird, it is really difficult to break. Xie Ning deliberately avoided Gu Qingyun's moon viewing and was unwilling to leave, but Gao Jibai was pulled by Liu to talk about the sky. Therefore, the two of them, who were not familiar with each other, had to sit together and say a few words to each other from time to time.

Who said that Liu's interest was particularly high today. Just so that my grandmother can be happy, Shainin also has to cooperate.

It's just that the three of them chatted warmly, and Xia Rouyu, who was sitting alone, couldn't help but look a little lonely. When Xie Ning noticed this, the other party had already gotten up from his position and walked to the empty seat next to Gao Jibai, with red eyes.

Xia Rouyu's mind was already sensitive, but now that she was snubbed by them here, she must be unhappy in her heart. Xie Ning glanced at her, and was wondering whether to say a word to comfort her, when Liu's voice came from her ear - "Miss Xia, but you are going back to the room?" I still have something to talk about with Ji Bai and Ning'er. It's late at night, so I'll ask Aunt Liang to find someone to take you back first. ”

As soon as Liu's words came out, Xia Rouyu's already pale face became more and more paper-like, and there were crystal tears falling from the corners of her eyes, and she choked up in a choked tone: "I...... Old lady, then, that Rouyu took her leave first. ”

As soon as the words fell, she glanced at the three of them with a sad expression, and without waiting for Liu's reply, she ran out on her own.

Because of several similar experiences, Xie Ning was no stranger to Xia Rouyu's crying and crying posture.

However, Gao Jibai was obviously the opposite of her, and suddenly there was another wind next to her, Xie Ning looked up, and saw that Gao Jibai, who was originally sitting on the seat, stood up in an instant, and said to Liu with an anxious expression: "Please also ask grandmother and grandson to go to see my cousin." ”

"Ji Bai," Liu's eyes already flashed, but seeing that she glanced at Gao Jibai sharply, she said with a sinking face: "She is not unserved by her side, so why do you need to come forward to care?" ”

"But ......," Gao Jibai glanced out the door without saying anything, his face still gloomy.

"Why, she's just going back to the room, you're so concerned, is it possible that I, as an elder, are I bullying her?"

Hearing the unhappiness in Liu's voice, Xie Ning couldn't help but look at her with concern. Superfluous words, but not a word.

After all, this is a matter between her and Gao Ji Baizu's grandson, even if it is also involved with Xia Rouyu, it is inconvenient for her to put it on the gimmick.

After Gao Jibai was drunk by Liu's head, his expression was stagnant, and after half a cup of tea, he hung his hands weakly and sat back.

Xie Ning saw this look in his eyes, and when he was still wondering in his heart, he saw that Liu suddenly turned his head, but he told her: "I still have something to say to your cousin." It's not early, Ning'er, you can go back and rest first. ”

When Xie Ning heard this, he subconsciously nodded first: "Okay." She didn't have time to think about it this time, but when she and Gu Sui walked all the way to the guest house, after thinking about it, she felt a little strange from it.

Maternal grandmother Liu has always been kind and kind, and she has never been harsh on their juniors. It stands to reason that she would not deliberately ignore Xia Rouyu, and even prevented Gao Jibai from pursuing after the other party left in a negative mood. But that's what she did today...... It really made Shainin have to think about it a little more.

Could it be that Xia Rouyu did something out of the ordinary to arouse her grandmother's disgust?

Xie Ning carefully recalled what the other party had done today, but still didn't find any reason. She doesn't like Xia Rouyu herself, mainly because she has come forward to talk to her many times, and she always cries and cries to annoy people.

But in Xie Ning's impression, except for today, Xia Rouyu didn't seem to shed tears in front of Liu. What's more, as an elder, my grandmother is not the kind of person who deliberately excludes the other party just because she doesn't like her. (To be continued.) )
