Chapter Seventy-Three: Follow Because She's Worthy
Xie Zhan's words, Xiao Changting is not the first time to hear it.
Without knowing who Xin Ye was, he had heard such words too many times.
said that Xie Zhan had a relationship with Xin Ye, but in fact, Xie Zhan had admired Xin Ye for a long time.
He suddenly remembered what Xin Muyuan had said to him before: "What he loves and follows is always Xin Ye, not Xin Muyuan." β
Now he seems to have that little bit of understanding.
"If Xin Ye is not Xin Muyuan, are you still willing to stand by her side so firmly?" Xiao Changting was very serious when he asked, and he made people feel that he was not joking.
Xie Zhan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is that the guard Mu Yi beside her?" β
A question mark slowly popped up in Xiao Changting's mind.
Does he think that Xin Ye is the person next to Xin Muyuan?
Before he could ask, Xie Zhan had already explained to him: "Xin Muyuan took me to her factory to see when the season changed before, and the equipment in it was high-end, and the workers performed their duties in an orderly manner. The design is novel, simple and trendy, and I heard Ling'er, the owner of the clothing store, say that these things are designed by Mu Yi. β
Xiao Changting: "......" If you tell him now that all of this is Xin Muyuan's handiwork, wouldn't it be bad?
It's okay to do this, and it saves him from finding excuses everywhere to lie, lie, and clichΓ©.
"Then if I had lied to you at the beginning, Xin Muyuan was not Xin Ye, would you still defend her and follow her like now? She is just an ordinary businessman, who cherishes her life, loves money, and is mercenary. β
Xie Zhan hesitated.
In fact, if Xin Muyuan was not Xin Ye, then the two of them didn't get along for long, and they could even be regarded as familiar strangers.
It's hard for him to follow someone he has known for a short time and doesn't know the details.
The corners of Xiao Changting's mouth were slightly hooked, thinking that he had completely understood Xin Muyuan's feelings.
No wonder, no matter how Xie Zhan took the initiative to attack, Xin Muyuan was always unmoved, guarding a pure land in his heart. It turns out that it is.
It's not that you don't want to accept it, but you don't dare to accept it.
Xin Ye and Xin Muyuan are one person, but they are not alone. If he had to choose one of the two people, Xie Zhan would probably choose Xin Ye without hesitation.
Therefore, she would rather choose a person who doesn't know her other identity at all, she hopes to contact someone who is willing to accept her with Xin Muyuan's face, and she hopes to find Xin Muyuan who loves him deeply, rather than the Xin Ye who is hidden in the shadows.
Suddenly, he felt a sadness in his heart. This sorrow does not come from him, but from Xin Muyuan.
He grieved for Xin Muyuan.
However, when he was about to divert the topic, he suddenly heard Xie Zhan say, "I think, maybe." β
"What might this mean?" Xiao Changting asked with a smile.
Xie Zhan looked up at the sky.
The light of the early morning is white, with three or two points of freshness, and the leaves that cover his eyes in the summer have all turned into dry leaves, and the branches are bare, only three or two crumbling dead leaves hang.
Xie Zhan retracted his gaze looking at the sky, turned his head to look at Xiao Changting, and said, "What you said is right, she loves money and cherishes her life, but she is generous, she picks where she should be picked, and she never withholds where she should be generous." She is mischievous, cute, quirky, with endless ideas in her little head, she is lively, cheerful, soft at heart, hard working but also enjoying life...... With her, I was happy and relaxed. If I could, I would like to be with her all the time. β
When Xie Zhan said these words, his cheeks flushed slightly.
He is a young man who comes to the light, and his eyes are involuntarily gentle and longing and expectation for the future. The light swirled in his eyes, with a temperature that was blazing to dissolve snowy glaciers.
Xiao Changting was attracted by the light in his eyes, and he couldn't look away.
For a long time, Xiao Changting's eyes seemed to be stung by the light in Xie Zhan's eyes, and he blinked and looked away. Xu thought that he hadn't blinked for too long, but Xiao Changting just blinked, and his eyes were slightly red.
He felt as if he was feeling a little sad in his heart. But it's hard for him to guess where this sadness comes from.
He wanted to roar and vent, but he wanted to laugh. Sad and happy at the same time, this strange feeling tormented him and he was about to go crazy.
The sun finally peeked out from the east, and the white sky was dyed red and blue, leaving five white.
Xiao Changting said: "Let's go, it's time to choose a concubine again." β
I feel a headache when I mention this matter, and the ministers are still noisily discussing the affairs of the nobles, and they have been arguing since yesterday when the resumption of the selection of concubines and the announcement of the nobles.
Xiao Changting would say a few words at first, but later he would completely quarrel with them.
Today is the second day of the resumption of the election of concubines, and it is also the first day of the official beginning, and those ministers will not talk about it in the early court, but directly protest through the election of concubines.
Xiao Changting's decision was also very simple, and said: "Your nobleman I have already decided, if you feel offended, you can withdraw from this concubine election." β
After a pause, he said: "In the future selection of concubines, Brother Zhan will also participate." β
This outrageous and unreasonable sentence blocked the mouths of many people. They were dissatisfied and wanted to resist, but they didn't dare to say anything.
The person they honored was the current emperor, the person they had to kowtow and bow down when they met. He said yes, is it really because Xie Zhan gave up his family's future? That's the stupidest decision.
Isn't it just for this day that my daughter has been raised for so many years? Show other men what's going on, and they won't die.
Xie Zhan had long expected that the ministers would compromise on the matter of becoming a noble person and participating in the selection of concubines, but he didn't expect that he would compromise so neatly.
When he stood where Xin Muyuan was standing, he was still shocked in the face of the silence below.
He suddenly remembered Xin Muyuan's pale face when he returned from the palace on the first day, and recalled the inexplicable words Xin Muyuan had said to him.
She said: "The water is very good, it turns out that when a person has no choice, the end is so terrifying. I watched with my own eyes as the father, who kept crying 'baby girl', pushed his daughter into the abyss with his own hands, cut off all her retreat and hope, and pinched her mouth open to stuff despair into it. β
She was in a trance when she said this, Xie Zhan only felt inexplicable at the time, but Xin Muyuan's state at that time made him unbearable to ask more.
Now, he seemed to understand what Xin Muyuan was talking about.
These fathers, for the honor of the family, what can't they do, what humiliation can't they bear?
As for Du Mingyue and Luo Qin, who have high statuses, they have no problem with this matter at all. Xie Zhan, a handsome man who is tall in the sky, is no different from an inch of radish to them.
