Chapter 26: The World Turns Upside Down (3)
Seeing Xue Chunyue's disillusioned appearance, Ye Qinyu felt more and more uncomfortable, and hurriedly comforted him, "No, I think you must have been born out of love, otherwise, my father would not have always had high hopes for you." ”
Xue Chunyue smiled wryly, "You know what? Since I was a child, my father left me with a serious and stereotypical impression, but what he showed to his brother was extremely loving and doting......"
Ye Qinyu didn't want him to be immersed in pain anymore, so he changed the subject, "Uh...... You say that I am a gift from my mother, what do you mean? ”
"My mother was born in a scholarly family, and she has no interest in business, and Aunt Ma's incident makes her even more dislike the copper-smelling businessman. However, the Xue family's eunuch resources have been inherited by the second uncle, and our branch is already destined to have no chance with the Qi family in governing the country...... But she still hoped that I could marry a girl from a scholar's family, so when my grandfather set a marriage contract for me to marry the Ye family of the Changxing Wang clan, she was both surprised and delighted, and liked it very much. ”
"So...... My mother has always liked me, even if I haven't passed the door yet? ”
"Of course. Later, the Xue family was infighting, if it weren't for her insistence, the marriage contract between you and me would have become a dead letter. What happened next...... You also know, in order to be happy, and in exchange for Ye Cizhun's support for the Xue family in Haizhou, I married you. Ye Cizhun is not the main reason, Chongxi is, so in the final analysis, it is my mother who keeps you for me. ”
"So...... Are you happy or unhappy? ”
Xue Chunyue stroked her face and raised the corners of her mouth, "What do you say?" ”
"How do I know ......"
Xue Chunyue's face was full of smiles that couldn't be hidden, he pulled her to his chest, rubbed her hair, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm naturally, very happy......"
Ye Qinyu buried his head in his arms and laughed happily......
After a while, he found that Xue Chunyue was silent, and Ye Qinyu drilled his head out to look at him, only to find that he had fallen asleep. Ye Qinyu smiled helplessly, helped him lie down again, folded the quilt, and kissed him on the face......
After the investigation of the Haizhou Tribute Tax Nest case was completed, the top boss of the Haizhou Assassin History, the Haidong Dao Jiedu Envoy, was demoted because of lax governance, and after the main officials of Haizhou were replaced, the new Haidong Dao Jiedu Envoy arrived, and he went to Yang with him, as well as the new Haizhou City Bo Si Record. As the main assistant to the envoy, although the rank is not high, he plays an important role in the state and county.
The Xue family has white things to do, and they close their doors during the funeral period, and they do not participate in all banquets and drinking activities, so no matter how lively the arrival of the new governor is, the Xue family ignores it, only Li Jingfeng, the son-in-law of the Xue family, has to be present to pay respects because of his idle position in Haizhou.
When Li Jingfeng returned to Xue's house, he brought two distinguished guests to visit together, Xue Chenggui was disheartened, he wanted to say a few perfunctory words, and he didn't want to receive it, but when he went out to the courtyard to take a look, he saw that the people who came were actually Ye Cizhun and Xue Peiqi! Everyone was amazed, somehow. Xue Chengming had already sent someone over to attend Mrs. Xue's funeral, and Xue Peiqi naturally didn't come to attend again, so why did these two go to the Xue family?
Su Yuming never imagined that she would be able to see Ye Cizhun in this life, her previous absurd behavior was completely based on the despair and grief of never seeing each other again in this life, and now that they meet again, the absurd behavior before has become an invisible shackle, which pressed Su Yuming so tightly that she was almost out of breath.
The arrival of the two brought a shocking news to the Xue family, the new envoy of Haidong Province was actually Ye Cizhun, and Xue Peiqi was the new secretary of the city. One is the nephew of the Xue family, and the other is the in-law of the Xue family, and they enter the same family, but they belong to different political camps, Xue Chenggui was shocked, and he was a little worried, no matter who wins or loses the two, the Xue family seems to be inevitably implicated.
Since the Xue family is in the mourning period, there is naturally no sheng song and feast. Ye Cizhun just came to the mansion to mourn, and by the way, he took this opportunity to see Su Yuming again. Su Yuming was so nervous that she couldn't breathe when she saw him, and as soon as she saw him, she remembered that afternoon at the official post, the double whipping of morality and ethics had brought her to the brink of collapse.
is also concerned, as well as Xue Chunyue. As the prince of Xincheng, a large number of important positions in Beijing are waiting for Xue Peiqi to choose, but he doesn't go anywhere, but chooses to return to Haizhou, and his intention is very obvious. Didn't you come to ask him to fulfill his promise? A year ago, in Changxing, he personally promised that when the time was ripe, he would give Ye Qinyu away......
To outsiders, the time is ripe. The Xue family has survived smoothly in the wave of imperial court reform, and the business operated by Dingtai and the imperial court has basically been separated. Ye Qinyu's use value should be gone.
At night, Xiheju.
Xue Chunyue and Ye Qinyu were lying together, but they were both pretending to sleep, the so-called different dreams in the same bed, nothing more than this.
It turns out that the misunderstandings and estrangements between the two have always been there, and the appearance of Xue Peiqi is the best proof of this.
He cares about where her heart belongs, what was and what is now, he cares. At this time, the sentence he wanted to hear the most was that she had never loved Xue Peiqi, and for thirteen years, she had no love for men and women with him, and she had no memories to miss. But Ye Qinyu had never given him such words, and when Xue Peiqi was not there before, he persuaded himself to ignore this point, not to think about it, not to care, when this point did not exist.
But now that Xue Peiqi is here, he can't ignore this problem anymore, because Xue Peiqi has already lived in Xue's house, he and she will meet every day, eat together, chat together, and get along anytime and anywhere, no matter how strong his psychology is, he can't turn a blind eye to the subtle feelings between them!
Ye Qinyu has insomnia because her heart is indeed messed up.
From childhood to adulthood, Xue Peiqi's admiration for her has always been undisguised, he loves her strongly, and he loves her openly, and without reservation. In the past thirteen years, no matter who it is, Xue Peiqi has never been shy about his love for her, and Xue Chunyue can't do this. At least, in her memory, what Xue Chunyue did for her was blank.
Her feelings for Xue Peiqi are very complicated, unlike with Liu Yi, just a simple brother and sister. The reason why she never thought of marrying him was because of Xue Chengming's attitude, which made her dare not have other ideas.
Even if she accepts the reality and draws a clear line with Xue Peiqi, what will Xue Chunyue think of his appearance? This line, even if she draws it clearly, will Xue Chunyue believe it?
The more she thought about it, the more chaotic she became, and her originally clear thoughts became more and more chaotic.
Suddenly, Xue Chunyue grabbed her hand.
Ye Qinyu was taken aback and turned to look over.
"You're my wife now, and people sleep next to me, are you thinking about other men?"
"No, no, no ......"
Xue Chunyue was just tempting, and sure enough!
Ye Qinyu's eyes were a little flustered, and he glanced at Xue Chunyue in a hurry. In the night, she couldn't see clearly, his expression, was pain?
"It's not what you think, Brother Peiqi is here, and the fact that we are husband and wife can't be changed." Thinking that he had just experienced the pain of losing his mother, Ye Qinyu's heart suddenly became uneasy.
"We are husband and wife, but there is no fact that we are husband and wife."
"That'...... So what do you want? What did he mean by that, chewing words with her? Ye Qinyu was a little flustered.
"Xue Peiqi is a smart person, he can quickly see if you and I are husband and wife."
"So what?"
"So you'd better be my woman before he sees it through!"
Xue Chunyue turned over and pressed Ye Qinyu under him!
She was frightened and hurriedly held his chest to prevent him from approaching.
"Don't ...... like that"
"If you don't want to, I won't force you. As soon as you say no words, I'll leave this room immediately. ”
Ye Qinyu didn't know what he was stimulated, and his temperament suddenly changed drastically. However, there are some things she hasn't thought about yet, and she can't be so confused.
"He is the son of the Hou Ye, and he came to Haizhou just to add some light to his resume, and he won't stay for a long time, and when he goes back, our life will be the same, you, what are you anxious about!"
"I don't care how long he stays, I just ask you for an answer."
Why did he suddenly not relent, Ye Qinyu couldn't figure it out, "You said you wouldn't force my ......"
"So the answer is a 'no'?" Xue Chunyue's eyes were sharp, and the darkness couldn't hide his anger.
Ye Qinyu didn't turn his head and stopped answering.
Xue Chunyue waited for a quarter of an hour, then turned over and got out of bed and left the room......
Ye Qinyu straightened up, he wanted to stay, but he was resolute, and it was not interesting to stay, so let him go.
Early the next morning, there was an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks on the breakfast table, Xue Chunyue glanced at it, and continued to eat with a cold expression, as if he had completed the task of breakfast.
He quickly left the table, and Xue Chenggui was accompanied by Aunt Ma, and only then did he step into the door of the side hall and pass by Xue Chunyue.
He came with Aunt Ma, needless to say that he stayed with her last night, and his mother's bones were not cold, so they couldn't wait to stay together. Xue Chunyue looked displeased, saluted as usual, and strode away without waiting for Xue Chenggui to speak.
When I walked to the main courtyard, I was surprised to find that Ye Qinyu and Xue Peiqi walked over together, talking and laughing!
Seeing Xue Chunyue, the smile on Ye Qinyu's face gradually disappeared, and he subconsciously distanced himself from Xue Peiyu.
"Chunyue, in the morning, Brother Peiqi sent someone to say that he had just arrived, and he was not familiar with the road in the house, and he was afraid that he would take the wrong road and collide with the elders, so he waited for me in the courtyard to walk together. Y-Are you full so quickly? Now going to the boat line? ”
Seeing that Ye Qinyu came out of Xihe Ju alone in the morning, he expected that the two seemed to be at odds, and now her tone of voice was obviously blunt, which directly confirmed his conjecture, Xue Peiyu lowered his head and smiled, and said to Xue Chunyue, "Second brother went to the boat so early?" I deliberately got up early today, and I thought about having breakfast together as a family, chatting and dredging feelings, after all, I haven't lived together for many years, and I'm a little rusty. ”
Xue Chunyue stared at Ye Qinyu from beginning to end, but she was avoiding his gaze!
"Just have Qinyu to dine with you, you don't have anything to talk about with me. Leave. ”
