went to three gambling houses in succession, Rao is Xie Ning was extremely careful when placing bets, and it did not prevent her from making a lot of money. The silver money he was carrying suddenly tripled, and Xie Ning returned to the inn very satisfied.

As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into a long, jade figure. As soon as Xie Ning raised his head slightly, his originally inadvertently swept gaze fixed on him, and he immediately called: "Brother Qingyang!" ”

Wei Qingyang wore a bamboo-colored cloth robe today, and only a wooden hairpin was used to run through the black bun on his head, this dress was very homely, Xie Ning had not seen it before, and it was no wonder that she failed to recognize the other party at the beginning.

However, compared to the other party's outfit, Shainin was more curious about why he appeared here.

The west of the city is not richer than the east of the city, if Wei Qingyang happened to come here to meet her, Xie Ning would definitely not believe it. But it seems unlikely that he came for himself—after all, she had only moved here in a hurry today, and had not yet had time to send someone to the Wei Mansion to deliver the message.

"How did you end up here?" Xie Ning couldn't hide something in his heart, and after thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask.

"I have something to tell you."

Wei Qingyang's words slowly fell, but Xie Ning only felt a little strange when he heard the voice, and subconsciously looked at the other party.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the sunset shone in through the half-open window, reflecting half of Wei Qingyang's face, and the whole person seemed to be bathed in light and shadow, shining with gold, blurry but extremely dazzling, so that Xie Ning couldn't help but avoid his gaze.

"Say it here," Xie Ning suddenly felt empty in her heart, but when she looked at Wei Qingyang, she didn't show it on her face, she just asked casually: "You still have to go in and talk." ”

Instinctively told her, Wei Qingyang came to the door at this time, and he must have something urgent to inform her. I just don't know whether the news he brought is good or bad.

The two had met once yesterday, and Xie Ning still remembered that the other party had mentioned that he wanted to help her inquire about Shudi. Thinking about the current situation, the other party already knows.

Xie Ning couldn't help but sigh secretly, although he couldn't see Wei Qingyang's face clearly against the light. But I didn't miss the other party's slightly hesitant voice - "It's okay." Shopkeeper, please arrange an upper room for us. ”

"Don't bother—"

When Xie Ning heard this, he couldn't help but subconsciously stop it, and just wanted to ask Wei Qingyang to go to her room to sit temporarily. After thinking about it, he thought that the other party's move might be to avoid the suspicion of men and women between them, so he immediately stopped talking abruptly.

"Hehe," the innkeeper couldn't help but look at the two of them with a smile when he heard this, and said in a voice: "Go upstairs to the second room from the left." Two guest officers please. ”

"Hmm." Wei Qingyang nodded slightly, then turned around and went up the stairs.

Xie Ning was still thinking about how to round out Fang Cai's words, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that this matter had been revealed by the other party, so he no longer cared about it, and walked upstairs with the other party.

The two of them entered the guest room with their front and back feet, and before Xie Ning could turn around and close the half-open door, Wei Qingyang said directly: "Our marriage contract, I'm afraid it's going to be canceled." ”

Xie Ning was caught off guard and waited until she turned her head again. looked at Wei Qingyang with a surprised expression and said: "I have exchanged Geng posts, I have combined the eight characters, and I have made a small decision, isn't Brother Qingyang joking?" ”

Wei Qingyang had a calm face, and lowered his eyes with a dodgy expression: "It's a lifelong event, so naturally I won't joke about it." ”

Xie Ning looked at him, and only felt a little ridiculous for a while, and then couldn't help sneering: "It turns out that you also know what is related to lifelong events?" Since you intend to withdraw from your family, why didn't you think about it carefully when you first decided to get married? ”

In this regard, she does not know as much as ordinary women. But I also know how important the marriage contract is to two families, especially women. also understands that once the man withdraws, the woman's reputation will plummet.

She is not a person who cherishes feathers, and fame is not so important to her. For Shainin. As long as you do the right thing, what if you are notorious?

But if it was because Wei Qingyang wanted to withdraw from his family, she was unwilling to accept it.

It doesn't make sense.

Xie Ning's expression was cold, but she didn't take her eyes off Wei Qingyang, and without the dazzling light, she looked more carefully. A pair of eyes looked fixedly at the elegant man in front of him, as if he had really known each other for the first time.

Wei Qingyang didn't say anything, but Xie Ning didn't see his silence as guilt or avoidance, and after his eyes flashed, he couldn't help but lower his voice and said lightly: "You want to withdraw from me, but because you learned the news yesterday?" ”

“…… Yes," Wei Qingyang raised his head, but he still didn't meet Xie Ning's gaze, and said with a hesitant expression: "Ling Zun's matter has now caused a storm in the city. The war in Shu was unfavorable, and now he intends to set an example and severely punish him. ”

Rao is Xie Ning had already realized it, and her heart couldn't help but sink when she heard the words, but in front of Wei Qingyang, she didn't want to show the slightest weakness, her body was still straight, and she said lightly: "I know." ”

When Wei Qingyang heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Xie Ning, hesitating to speak, and secretly paying attention to Xie Ning's movements while distracted.

"I came here to break the marriage contract with you on the orders of the elders in the family," he couldn't help but look at Shainin again when he said this.

Xie Ning was also looking at him at this time, the two looked at each other, she didn't have the slightest dodge in her eyes, there was no change in her expression, and she didn't make a sound, but Wei Qingyang seemed to be frightened by the indifference in her eyes, and after pausing for a long time, she continued: "When you and I were married before, I gave you a phoenix-blooded mandarin duck pendant as a token. Now that we want to break the marriage contract, the fault lies with me, and it is said that this relative's token should belong to you. But this phoenix blood jade pendant is the ancestral heirloom of our Wei State Mansion, and it must not fall into the hands of outsiders. That's why I took the liberty of bothering you, just to ask you to return it. ”

As soon as Wei Qingyang's voice fell, before Xie Ning could speak, he listened to him continue: "No matter what, this matter of withdrawing from the family, after all, I can't stand you." But this thing has another meaning to my Wei State Mansion, and Qingyang has to bring it back. As for after you return it...... I will offer you something of equal value. ”

"Heh," Xie Ning looked at Wei Qingyang, only to feel that the person in front of him was terrifyingly unfamiliar, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "It turns out that in the eyes of Wei Gongzi, am I such a profit-heavy person?" Don't worry, I'm not as greedy as you, and money, fame and fortune are not so important in my eyes. Do you want to quit your family, okay, let's quit your family. Don't you still want the ancestral phoenix-blooded mandarin duck of your Guogong Mansion, wait. I'm going to find it out for you! ”

After speaking, she brushed her sleeves through the open door, leaving only Wei Qingyang with a crisp back.

The room Wei Qingyang asked for was not far from the one she was staying in, but it was only a few steps away. Shainin had already pushed the door in.

Hearing the movement of opening the door, the two maids in the house couldn't help but stand up, and Gu Sui was even more delighted: "Miss, you're back!" How much money have you made today? ”

Xie Ning didn't say anything in response, his eyes moved. She landed at the place where she was packing her bags by the two maids, and without pausing too much, she strode forward, and after a slight bend, she took out a brocade box from the precious thing wrapped in muslin.

"Miss," Gu Sui couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he saw this, and he didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he looked panicked at Xie Ning: "You...... You shouldn't have lost money gambling outside, and you want to use this jade pendant as a countervail, right? Miss. If the young lady wants money, she should first take it from the slave. This phoenix blood pendant is a token of kinship sent to you by Gongzi Wei personally, and Miss Don't want to come here. ”

What kind of mess is this?

Xie Ning took the brocade box containing the phoenix blood mandarin duck pendant, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he didn't have the heart to explain it to Gu Sui, so he strode out of the room.

He left Gu Sui stunned in the room, "This ...... What the hell is going on? ”

"Don't worry," Mingshuang looked at Xie Ning's departing back, subconsciously comforted Gu Sui, and ran out with him. "I'll go take a look."

Gu Sui immediately chased after the outside of the house, "I'll go too." ”

***

At this time, when the two of them found Xie Ning's flashing figure, she had already returned to the guest room where Wei Qingyang was.

"What you want." Xie Ning didn't stop, walked straight to Wei Qingyang, and shook the brocade box in his hand expressionlessly, "I brought it." ”

"That's good," Wei Qingyang glanced at her, and his gaze immediately fixed on the brocade box. Today. He still remembered clearly that this was a token of the previous marriage between the two, which he personally brought to the Jingyang Marquis Mansion and handed it over to Xie Ning through Gao Daonian's hands.

It was for this reason that he only glanced at the style of the brocade box and was convinced that it was what he had done on his trip.

Shainin's character, he can still be trusted.

Seeing this, Wei Qingyang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, with a light smile on his face, and was about to take this thing from Xie Ning's hand.

"Wait," Xie Ning suddenly shouted, glanced at Wei Qingyang with a smile, and said with disdain: "If I return this thing to you, can the marriage contract between the two of us be dissolved?" Is there anything else to do? ”

At this point, Wei Qingyang's tense nerves eased up for a moment, and nothing happened in his heart, he took a deep breath in shock, and then explained to Xie Ning in a gentle voice: "It's not necessary. Do you know, although the two of us have exchanged birthdays and made a marriage contract before, we have not deliberately publicized it, and not many people in Beijing know about it. What's more, although the name of you and me is written on the covenant, it is the name of Miss Jingyang Houfu Biao on it. Now that you have left the Hou Mansion, I think this marriage contract may not work. Since then, you and I, men and women, have not married, and we will not disturb each other. ”

Good one doesn't bother each other!

Wei Qingyang's remarks are very high-sounding, and if it really responds to the sentence of adversity, Xie Ning never thought that the "beloved" she had repeatedly considered would be such a sanctimonious person.

I still remember that when she didn't know about the two of them discussing marriage, it was Wei Qingyang who personally ran to her and pierced the window paper, which made her have to face up to this family matter.

At that time, he spoke every word beautifully, and his every move was attentive, Rao was an uninformed person like Xie Ning, and he would inevitably be moved by his affection. But it turned out that at this time, it was suddenly revealed that this qiē was just the other party acting.

If you really like someone, you really want to marry someone, you really want to spend your life with someone, how can you give up when the other person is in danger?

Yes, she thinks that from beginning to end, she does not have half of the love for Wei Qingyang. But she dared to pat her chest and swear that if something happened to the Duke of Wei at this time, she would not stand idly by, let alone betray her word and fall into the well.

But there is no point in saying that now. Xie Ning smiled indifferently, looked at Wei Qingyang with sharp eyes, and slowly handed out the brocade box.

Seeing this, Wei Qingyang immediately stretched out his hand to take it, but just as he was about to take the brocade box in his hand, there was a sudden change in the room!

"Smack!"

A crisp sound came into his ears, and the brocade box that was still held by Xie Ning a moment ago had fallen heavily to the ground, and the buckle on the box was scattered, just revealing half of the blood red jade pendant, as well as an obvious crack on it.

Gu Bu stepped forward to pick it up, Wei Qingyang couldn't help but look at Xie Ning in surprise, and said with a complicated mood: "Sister Ning......"

Xie Ning didn't care about his thoughts at this time, and he didn't look at the jade pendant that she deliberately threw on the ground, clapped his hands, the corners of his mouth curled, and he showed a somewhat evil smile, "Okay, now I will return this jade pendant to you, our marriage contract doesn't count anymore, you can leave now." ”

As the words fell, the smile on her face grew. Wei Qingyang's resignation, she no longer wants to hold the other party to investigate what is right or wrong, since the other party wants to withdraw from the family, then she doesn't need to chase after her.

As for her anger at being discarded, it disappeared as early as after she dropped this heirloom that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Wei State Mansion.

With such a big breath, Xie Ning can be said to be refreshed at this time.

To tell the truth, instead of complaining about the other party's timidity, she was more glad that Wei Qingyang had come to the door to withdraw from her relatives at this time. Otherwise, if she hadn't seen the other party's personality clearly at this time, and found out when she became a relative, wouldn't she regret it for the rest of her life?

"Good fall!"

There was a sudden cheer outside the room, Xie Ning turned his head, and followed the sound to find the ears of grain and Mingshuang lying by the door.

The two of them followed Xie Ning all the way, and the door of this house was not hidden, which was just convenient for the two of them to eavesdrop.

At the beginning, Gu Sui looked at Mingshuang's appearance, and knew that he should pay attention to his movements, and not let Xie Ning and Wei Qingyang find out their traces.

But when she heard Wei Qingyang's remarks about retiring from her family, she couldn't help but be angry. If it weren't for Mingshuang to stop her, I'm afraid she would be so excited that she rushed in directly.

But for the sake of the overall situation, she could only listen to the movement in the room while gritting her teeth.

It was really torture for her, but fortunately, the crisp sound saved her from the predicament of the time. (To be continued.) )
