It was Miss Xie Jiarou in the Jin State Mansion.

Suddenly met in the depths of the maple forest, Rao is head was on top of the fence as usual, but Jiang Ying still recognized her at a glance.

The temperament of this young lady is too unforgettable.

And the same as her, who recognized people at a glance, was Song Yuanju.

"Cousin." After he was slightly stunned, he said, "My cousin came out alone?" ”

There wasn't a single maid around, which was a bit unusual for a scholar woman.

"Of course not." Xie Jiarou said lightly, and she didn't look at him, but instead fell on Jiang Ying.

Song Yuanju was accustomed to this, touched his nose and didn't speak again.

Shi Qing glanced at him, his eyes were a little intriguing.

"Miss Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Xie Jiarou spoke up, and actually took the initiative to greet Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying couldn't help but be a little surprised.

I haven't seen it in a long time.

What still leaves an impression is only two meetings - one is in the meditation room of Shengyun Temple, she heard the conversation between her and Jin Mi in the bamboo forest outside the window, her eyes suddenly recovered after being blind for many days, and she was surprised to see the appearance of this cousin, which fortunately surprised her at that time.

And the next time, it was when Xie Jiarou and Xie went out together.

Although she had only met twice, this cousin treated herself coldly, and never said a word. And Jiang Ying didn't take it to heart, just that the women of the scholar clan who had not left the pavilion were about to look like this.

Now that Xie Jiarou took the initiative to talk to her, she had to be deeply surprised.

Cough. Could it be because she is about to marry Brother Jin?

After all, in a sense, everyone is going to be a family in the future.

When Jiang Ying thought of this, she smiled kindly and responded, "Miss Xie." ”

Xie Jiarou looked at her through the fence, and after a while, she suddenly said, "I don't know if it's convenient for Miss Jiang to move with me alone?" ”

She said this sentence without warning, and for a moment not only Jiang Ying, but even Song Yuanju, Hua Changjing and others were stunned.

among them. Except for Song Yuanju. No one really knows this cousin, only vaguely heard about Xie Jiarou's various good names, and said that she is a rare person with both talent and appearance among the women of the current corporal clan.

But what can she and Jiang Ying have to say?

Jiang Ying was also puzzled in her heart. But seeing that Xie Jiarou was still standing there waiting for her reply. Yes, there is no reason to refuse. He nodded and said, "It's naturally convenient." ”

Watching the two of them slowly walk towards another fork in the road ahead, their figures quickly disappearing into the golden maple branches and leaves, Hua Changjing raised his eyebrows. said: "This cousin's temperament is not bad—"

"But what can she do with Ah Ying?" Liang Wenqing said suspiciously: "Shouldn't you have to deal with the relationship in advance?" ”

Shi Qing smiled dumbly: "As far as I know, this cousin girl is not like someone who will greet her. ”

Otherwise, relying on such a talent, he would not have even decided on a decent family affair so far.

Song Yuanju frowned slightly.

"I wonder what my cousin has to say to me?" The two gradually walked away, Jiang Ying looked at Xie Jiarou in front of her on the left, and asked her before she spoke.

After coming this short way, she wondered if Xie Jiarou was going to tell her something related to Brother Jin.

After all, as far as she knew, the only thing that could be related to her and Xie Jiarou was the Jin family's intention to give Xie Jiarou to Brother Jin before-although this matter was becoming more and more obscure, and it was impossible to mention it.

Xie Jiarou, who was walking in front, slowly stopped.

Seeing this, Jiang Ying also listened.

Xie Jiarou turned to face her, and there was only a distance of three or four steps between the two.

"I want to apologize to Miss Jiang in person."

Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment.

Apologize to her?

What does this mean?

Seeing her confused, Xie Jiarou was not surprised.

She knew very well that if something like that happened at that time, the Xie clan would definitely not let it go.

In another way, if she didn't take the initiative to mention it, it would be impossible for Jiang Ying to know about this matter.

But she still chose to speak out.

"On the day of Miss Jiang's ceremony, a woman surnamed Guo went to make a scene and almost ruined the ceremony, does Miss Jiang still remember?"

Jiang Ying's eyes changed slightly when she heard this.

Even though her memory has been declining recently, she remembers it very clearly.

“…… This matter has something to do with Miss Xie? She looked at Xie Jiarou and asked.

She first apologized, and then mentioned the matter, Rao is Jiang Ying couldn't guess the specific connection, but she could also detect her intentions.

Sure enough, I saw Xie Jiarou nodding her head, not hiding her appearance at all, "The reason why she did that day was because I secretly fanned the wind and hinted at her idea." ”

Although she had only noticed it, now that she had admitted and explained it so calmly, Jiang Ying couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately frowned and asked, "I have no grudge against Miss Xie, why did Miss Xie take such great pains to ruin my reputation?" ”

Xie Jiarou didn't expect Jiang Ying to be so calm after hearing her words.

After all, destroying people and etiquette is really too vicious to do it.

It is precisely because of this that after she did this matter, she would always have a bad conscience, and after finally accepting her mistakes, she decided to confess and apologize to Jiang Ying in person.

"To tell you the truth, at that time, I was very jealous of Miss Jiang." Xie Jiarou didn't think to say these words to Jiang Ying, so there was a momentary pause, but she continued: "As a woman, Miss Jiang should know what kind of state of mind jealousy is. At that time, I was short-sighted and narrow-minded, and because I was bullied, I had thoughts that I shouldn't have. ”

At that time, he made that kind of move, first, because he was jealous of Jiang Ying, and secondly, because he was taking revenge on Jin Mi.

Jiang Ying didn't understand for a while.

Eat one's heart out?

Forgive her for being sluggish, she really didn't notice it. The noble lady of the noble clan in front of her was jealous of her, and even so serious that she almost distorted her personality, and even made a move to ruin her and her courtesy-

None of this she knew it was.

But now that she knows it, because she took the initiative to tell it honestly, she didn't have much anger for a while.

She was only glad that the Guo family's actions at that time did not have much impact on her and the courtesy—otherwise, she would probably be uncontrollable at this time, and stepped forward to fight this girl from the scholar clan who was different from the outside.

Thinking of this situation, Jiang Ying couldn't help but laugh.

Xie Jiarou frowned slightly. "Doesn't Miss Jiang blame me?"

"What's the use of complaining about you." Jiang Ying looked at her. Although his expression was calm, he couldn't be called friendly at all, and he only said: "It's just that I didn't know these inside stories before, and now Miss Xie has told me the truth." Even though time has passed. But I can't do anything that hasn't happened - if Miss Xie is pressed in her heart because of this matter, her conscience will always be uneasy. Therefore, I want to confess to me to alleviate the guilt in my heart, and please forgive me for not being able to say generous words that I have not blamed in the past. ”

She may not hold a grudge, but she can't forgive unconditionally.

Xie Jiarou couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.

She didn't expect it. Jiang Ying actually saw through her mind in an instant.

Indeed, she did have the purpose of alleviating the guilt in her heart, so she decided to find an opportunity to be honest with Jiang Ying.

At first, she didn't think there was anything, but after Jiang Ying's words, she realized that this kind of behavior was indeed selfish-because she seemed to have the idea of freeing herself from it all along, not ...... I really feel that I can't stand Jiang Ying.

If you really realize that you are wrong, it is at this very moment.

Xie Jiarou's eyes flickered, looking at Jiang Ying, who had a tepid attitude in front of her, and said in an unpredictable tone: "Miss Jiang is really smart. ”

Intelligent?

Jiang Ying suddenly heard these two words, and almost didn't hold back.

This is the first time anyone has used this word to describe themselves.

"This matter is indeed my fault, and I don't expect Miss Jiang to forgive me." Xie Jiarou said to Jiang Ying: "Miss Jiang complains about me, I have nothing to say-"

This was the first time in her life that she had lowered her profile to say such things, but strangely, she didn't feel embarrassed.

"Miss Xie is serious." Jiang Ying took one last look at her and said, "It's really a good means for the girl to secretly make people come, if there is no today's words, I am as dull as I am afraid that I will never think of the girl in my life-so I don't want to accept this apology from Miss Xie, I just hope that Miss Xie will not secretly apply this method to me in the future because of a momentary emotion." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xie Jiarou to answer, she turned around and turned back on the path when she was coming.

Xie Jiarou looked at her back, and was speechless for a while.

stood still in place for a long time, until Jiang Ying's figure disappeared from sight, and then she came back to her senses slightly.

After a moment, he smiled uncertainly.

As far as Jiang Ying's somewhat childish but unrealistic, words before leaving made her understand a question that had been haunting her all along.

Why did Mr. Kong, who is famous, accept an orphan girl from a businessman as his godgranddaughter.

Such a little girl is really rare.

After a little understanding, I will take it seriously...... It's boring.

Xie Jiarou stood in place and meditated for a moment.

When he turned around and was about to continue walking, he was startled and subconsciously took a step back.

I don't know when, Song Yuanju was standing behind her!

"When did you come here?" Seeing this person who had been involved with him many times, Xie Jiarou was panicked for a moment—panicked about whether he had listened to the conversation she had just had with Jiang Ying.

She has the courage to be honest with Jiang Ying, but she doesn't seem to have the courage to let more people know her disgraceful side.

Especially him.

"Just here." Song Yuanju smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, cousin, although Song doesn't dare to call himself a gentleman, he will never listen to the private conversations between girls for no reason." ”

Xie Jiarou stabilized a little when she heard this.

He rolled up his sleeves and asked, "So what are you doing here?" ”

Song Yuanju took two steps forward, and with his movements, a faint smell of wine rushed into Xie Jiarou's nose.

"Stop!" Xie Jiarou suddenly said loudly.

Song Yuanju smiled to himself, looked at her and said, "Why does the cousin look like a poisonous scorpion to avoid Song?" ”

Under the fence, Xie Jiarou pursed her lips slightly, and said coldly: "Commander Song has something to say, please say it directly." ”

"It's not a big deal." Song Yuanju looked at her straight, with a three-point smile in his tone, and said, "Song just wants to get his things back from his cousin——"

"Nonsense." Catching up with that gaze, Xie Jiarou was flustered again for no reason, and even gave birth to a kind of illusion that his eyes fell on her eyes accurately through the power fence, and he wanted to see through her whole person, and he was a little speechless for a while: "How can your things be here with me!" ”

"My cousin is really a noble person, and she forgets things." Rao saw that she was uncomfortable, but Song Yuanju's gaze still refused to move, and he said with a 'reminder': "When the cousin girl fell into the water, she took something from Song in the lotus pond, don't you remember?" ”

He's talking about the purse?!

Xie Jiarou was shocked.

…… The purse was embroidered by her own hands, and it fell into his hands by mistake, and she didn't question him, but he actually asked her for it, how could there be such a brazen person in this world!

But these words, as a woman of the scholar clan, she could never say them.

"I don't know what Commander Song is referring to, and I haven't seen it!" Xie Jiarou staggered her face, didn't dare to look at him for another moment, and turned around to leave as soon as the words fell.

Song Yuanju looked at her almost hasty back, his brows furrowed, and the smile on his face disappeared, but a pair of fists clenched tighter and tighter.

He could feel that the delusions that haunted his heart did not seem to be just wishful thinking!

I don't know if it was because he ate some wine at noon, his mind was in a trance, and he actually strode after him, and grabbed Xie Jiarou's arm-

“…… What are you doing! Licentious! Xie Jiarou was shocked and struggled vigorously, but for fear of alarming the tourists, she didn't dare to be too loud, only staring at Song Yuanju coldly with a pair of watery eyes.

Song Yuanju was indifferent, but his strength was a little stronger.

"Do you want to leave the Jin family?" He asked, almost eagerly.

Xie Jiarou's struggling movements were stiff, and after being stunned for a moment, she secretly gritted her teeth and said, "Song Yuanju, you let go of me!" ”

"It turns out that my cousin not only knows my surname Song, but also knows that my name is Song Yuanju-" Song Yuanju's expression seemed to be relaxed, and a smile appeared in his eyes, looking at her and refusing to let go.

Xie Jiarou suddenly felt embarrassed and panicked by someone who had been insected.

"I say it one last time...... You let go of me! Her tone was even a little choked, and it was obvious that she was really frightened.

As a girl from the Shi clan, the most outrageous thing she has ever done is to take off her shoes and socks in her small yard in the summer and put her feet into the pool water, how could she have been imprisoned so closely by a man with such great strength?

Song Yuanju saw her reaction in his eyes, and he couldn't bear it, and as soon as his hand was released, her arm escaped from his control.

Xie Jiarou staggered forward.

"If you want to get out of here...... I can take you away! ”

The person behind him suddenly shouted, and there was no longer half of the usual unruliness in his tone, but an indescribable perseverance.

Xie Jiarou's expression froze, but she quickened the pace under her feet.

…… (To be continued.) )
