Chapter Seventy-Four: Different Paths

Xie Ke was stopped outside the courtyard by Chu Qiyan at this time, Xie Qiyan's face turned red, and his expression was full of confusion.

"Sister Bao, it's my fault, I shouldn't have told you this. Don't be angry...... I swear that I will only be good to you in this life and will always be good to you. Sister Bao'er ......"

Xie Ke's expression was a little stunned, and his eyes looked at Chu Qiyan fixedly, which made Chu Qiyan frightened.

There seems to be endless sadness and pain hidden inside.

It seems that the thirteen-year-old girl in front of her has experienced unimaginable tribulations, but Chu Qiyan knows that in addition to losing her mother and having to stay in the Chu family, Xie Ke has not experienced the storms on the side, in the Chu family, her grandmother and uncle, her father, and two uncles, treat Xie Ke very kindly, and sometimes even he, a son and nephew, can't help but be a little jealous.

In terms of food and clothing, Xie Ke compares to Brother Jin.

This is also one of the reasons why Brother Jin doesn't like Xie Ke......

Originally, Brother Jin was the only one in the family, but Sister Bao suddenly came, and she won the favor of the clan, and Brother Jin was not angry.

But even so, Sister Bao still has no one to bully in the Chu family. There is an old lady to protect each other, and there is an uncle to protect him.

Chu Qiyan really didn't understand why Xie Ke's gaze was like this at this time...... Despair.

Yes, despair.

She looked at him with no joy in her eyes, but a look of despair on her face. Chu Qiyan felt that his heart seemed to be cold in an instant, obviously he came with joy, he had been looking forward to it for seven years, seven years, and finally his dream would come true, but Sister Bao had such a look.

"Sister Bao'er......" Chu Qiyan couldn't help but call out.

Xie Ke's body trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at Chu Qiyan, his voice was as thin as a gossamer. "Cousin Kai."

"It's me, what's wrong with you? Where does it hurt? I don't need to ask my grandmother to invite Langzhong. Seeing that the expression on Xie Ke's face finally returned to normal, Chu Qiyan's whole body was like prostration, and he felt that the most difficult craftsmanship was nothing more than that.

Xie Ke shook his head.

She couldn't move to the courtyard of Old Madam Chu.

Just now, because of Chu Qiyan's words, those miserable memories of the previous life uncontrollably rushed into her mind, and she still remembered that the former Quan Sheng had also said to her that she would never be defeated. said that he would pity her for the rest of his life. Just leave her alone.

But the result?

Xie Ke wanted to laugh, but his heart was crying. How ridiculous, reliving a lifetime, it's still such a picture. It's what happens when people change.

Is Chu Qiyan really better than Quan Sheng?

Didn't he care about her face? Her identity as the daughter of the Xie family?

Who cares about her, and who cares if she is willing? Who cares if she rejoices in her heart? A joke, but it's just a joke.

Old Mrs. Chu treats her like this, and all she thinks about is how to treat her well. But it doesn't matter if the so-called 'good' is what she wants......

Xie Ke turned around and walked towards her yard, she was really angry just now, and she was always afraid that she would hesitate and the old lady Chu would settle the matter. In fact, if you calm down and think about it, that is, Mrs. Chu really has this intention, and she has to ask her father what Xie Nian means. And she had already written a letter back home earlier.

Presumably, my father would have understood her thoughts after thinking about it.

What's more, his mother was born in the Chu family, but in the end she ended up like that, which is not like a stalk in his father Xie Nian's heart.

The father may not want his only daughter to stay in the Chu clan for a long time. Thinking about it like this, Xie Ke's heart slowly calmed down, but it was Chu Qiyan who looked like he had done something wrong at this time. Shrunken and followed behind Xie Ke. seemed to want to say something to comfort Xie Ke, but he didn't open his mouth after all.

The words just like the promise were difficult for an old and serious teenager like Chu Qiyan who had been taught since he was a child.

But what he didn't want to get in exchange was Xie Ke's look of surprise and despair.

Chu Qiyan's heart was cold inch by inch.

In my heart, I suddenly heard my mother say that my grandmother had asked him about him and Sister Bao'er, and privately invited someone to join the eight characters.

When the eight characters match, they will send someone to Xie Shi to talk about the item.

In Chu Qiyan's heart, his grandmother is omnipotent, and he knows that his grandmother had hoped that Brother Jin would marry Sister Bao before. Therefore, he remembered Xie Ke in his heart, and forced himself to cherish Xie Ke as a sister.

He didn't want such a good thing to end up falling on him, how could he not like it?

But......

Sister Bao should be reluctant in her heart.

If willingly. Sister Bao will not look like this.

Could it be that Sister Bao has someone else in her heart? Who will it be? Brother Jin'er......

"Sister Bao, I'll go first. You just thought it was my crazy words. If you don't want to...... If you don't want to...... Rest assured, I will not force you to do anything. I'll help you find your brother. After Chu Qiyan finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back. It is the call for Xie Ke. I also pretended not to listen.

Xie Ke was not only worried in his heart at this time, but also depressed.

What does this have to do with Brother Jin?

Since he understood Mrs. Chu's thoughts, Xie Ke has rarely gone to Mrs. Chu's yard in addition to asking for peace, and he can also drag on Chu Er~Grandma's invitation.

There was a faint presence among the servants, and Miss Cousin was hurriedly packing up the cage. Rumors that plan to return to the Xie clan in advance.

For this reason, Grandma Chu also came to visit Xie Ke and sent some jewelry and fabrics for Xie Ke to take back to Xie's family, so that he could add a new dress to Xie's grandmothers.

In contrast, Chu Er~ Grandma's face was a little ugly.

The reason is naturally his uncompetitive son. I have obviously told me about this matter, but the reason why I told my son is because my son has been too bitter in the past few years. obviously rejoiced in Sister Bao's heart, but she had to pretend to be casual in front of others.

It was easy for the old lady to mention it, and she was naturally full of answers, and her mouth was out of touch for a while under joy.

I didn't want my stupid son to be impatient, so he told Sister Bao to listen. Sister Bao is a girl's family, her face is thin, how can she continue to stay in the Chu family safely, this is not a rumor, she has been busy packing up the cage in the past few days.

And what puzzled Chu Er~ Grandma the most was Mrs. Chu's attitude. She didn't ask, she didn't stop her, and let Sister Bao toss alone in the courtyard.

The reason why the old lady mentioned Sister Bao and Brother Qi was to show that she was reluctant to let Sister Bao leave and wanted to keep Sister Bao in the Chu family for a long time. How can Sister Bao stay in the Chu family for a long time, naturally Sister Bao became the daughter-in-law of the Chu family...... The old lady mentioned a few days ago that she was going to send someone to Xie Shi to say that she was reluctant to leave Sister Bao and would keep Sister Bao for another two years.

Unexpectedly, there has been no movement in the past few days.

There is also a grandmother, who even sent something over with a happy face, and said that it was given to a few ladies of the Xie family, but in fact, she was chasing Sister Bao.

Having lived together for seven years, how can the eldest grandmother still be like this. It's just that his brother doesn't like Sister Bao, so it's just a big deal, so it's just a big deal. Why be so ruthless.

Xie Ke's courtyard looked busy at first glance.

Packed up, packed, the girls have joy on their faces, and there is sadness on their faces.

Naturally, she was happy because she was able to return to the Xie family with her own girl, and those who looked sad were later sent to Xie Ke's courtyard by Old Lady Chu and Fourth Master Chu.

Now that my sister is going back to Jian'an, where are they going?

In the room, Xie Ke sat on the kang in front of the window as usual, embroidering a robe...... The robe was made of navy blue, with moire and ink piping. The robe was embroidered for her father to thank her for the New Year, which was a meeting gift for her after seven years of absence.

Compared to the busyness outside, the house is quiet.

The incense burner burned with pure incense, and a faint fragrance seemed to be there slowly, Xie Ke lowered his head slightly, and the embroidery needle in his hand slowly pulled through the material of Hangzhou silk, and the embroidery thread gradually straightened......

The moire pattern was quickly formed under Xie Ke's skillful hands.

When Shui Qing lifted the curtain and came in, what she saw was such a scene that made people feel calm.

It's really beautiful, like a painting. And his sister is the fairy in the painting......

Shui Qing was so amused that she couldn't bear to interrupt such a beautiful scene. On the contrary, Xie Ke found Shui Qing and raised his eyes to ask. "Sister, the third and fourth masters are back, and they are accompanied by the uncle in the front hall at this time, and the fourth master sent a little maid to report, saying that he will come to visit his sister in person later."

This news is naturally excellent for Xie Ke.

If someone in the Chu family treats her sincerely. Even Old Madam Chu may not be able to rank first, Old Madam Chu's love for her is always mixed with her own emotions.

And her little uncle has always been honest with her.

Even if she knew that what she did was inappropriate, she never said it, and she wouldn't even interfere. Instead, they secretly reached out to help. Over the years, Xie Ke often thinks of his two uncles. She thought that if she stayed in the Chu clan, she would be able to see them from time to time, but she didn't want them to leave home for seven years, what did they do in the past seven years? Will it leave a hidden danger for future disasters?

She worries every day, but there is no news from them, she took the opportunity to inquire about Old Madam Chu, but Old Madam Chu shook her head and sighed, the two sons of the Chu family are wild horses that have escaped, as long as they are released, no one knows where they went and what they did.

Seeing that the day of her return home was approaching, Xie Kezhen was worried that she would not have a chance to see them before she left.

Even in this life, there is no way to save each other, at least to warn them.

In the past, she was afraid that they would doubt herself, after all, many things should not be said by a child of a few years old, but at this time, she is thirteen years old, and many things can be told bluntly. But what about doubting her, she will return to the Xie clan after all.

The Chu clan can't stay any longer.

After greeting Mrs. Chu for peace in the past few days, she retired under the pretext that there were many things in the hospital. Old Madam Chu did not open her mouth to ask, nor did she stop it. Thinking about it, her performance broke Old Madam Chu's heart after all.

Thinking of this, Xie Ke couldn't help but sigh.

No matter how hard you try, you can't seem to have it both ways. You can never have it both ways...... Seeing that her sister was distracted again, Shui Qing reluctantly lifted the curtain and went out to arrange the reception. (To be continued.) )
