Chapter 57: Whoever is counting will be counting
Ye Huaijin just said lightly with a mouth, he asked Xie Wanyan if she still insisted if the third brother agreed, Xie Wanyan didn't answer positively, he himself would never ask his third brother with an old face, and he knew very well in his heart that it should not be easy to get Ye Huaiyu to nod his head in agreement.
Although his third brother usually acts like he doesn't fight or grab, he is actually not a master who suffers easily.
Although Ye Huaiyu didn't plan to ask for someone, he might let him easily agree, Ye Huaijin privately thought that this should be an unlikely thing.
But to his surprise, Ye Huaiyu really agreed, and took the initiative to come to him to make concessions.
It's a bit of an adult beauty.
That's what Ye Huaiyu told him-
"Huai Yu has no distractions, he just wants to live a good life with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and he doesn't want to give birth to other branches, which will only increase his troubles, if the second brother really likes Miss Xie, Huai Yu has no opinion here."
Sincerity is so sincere that people can't hear the slightest reluctance, or any other purpose.
Coming back from Ye Huaijin, he walked very slowly all the way, and his eyes were not as sincere as before, nor did he have the pleasant face that he should have in Su Ri, but replaced with a few wisps of worry and struggle.
It seems that he doesn't know whether he is right or wrong to take this step, and he doesn't know if his yin trick will be enough for him to drink a pot.
And Ye Huaijin sat quietly in the room alone for a while, his expression was usually rare in front of people, he drank the last sip of herbal tea in the teacup, got up and walked out.
Yuan came out of the wing room with the cat cage, she was still that lukewarm, Ye Huaijin was so disturbed that she had to open her eyes and strode out.
Yuan was stunned for a moment, and thought in his heart, what was wrong with them?
Ye Huaijin didn't use his own carriage to go out, but walked quickly across the street, and then turned into an alley.
The alley is full of twists and turns, if others come in, they may get lost for a while before they can get out, but Ye Huaijin is familiar with the road, as if he has walked thousands of times, and he knocks on a courtyard door with a strong purpose.
However, no one came to open it for a long time.
Ye Huaijin frowned slightly, and knocked unwillingly, but there was still a dead silence inside.
"Who are you looking for?" Seeing this, the person behind him couldn't help but ask cautiously.
Ye Huaijin looked back and saw that it was a teenage boy, so he asked him, "Little brother, do you know where this family has gone?" ”
"Who are you? What do you want them to do? The little boy was very vigilant, and although he spoke with a hint of inner tension, he did not flinch.
Ye Huaijin smiled, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it over, "I am a friend of this family, I haven't been in Beijing for a long time, I just came back from other places yesterday, so I came over to take a look." Seeing that the little boy hesitated to accept it, he asked again, "Does the little brother know where the family has gone?" ”
The little boy was much calmer when he spoke again this time, and put away the money carefully, and his face looked a little better, and said to him, "He is dead." ”
Ye Huaijin was stunned, as if in disbelief, "Dead?" ”
"It's been a long time since I died, and someone from the government came to transport his body away." The little boy felt that since he had taken the money, he had to do a good job, "But the government has been here for some days, and you shouldn't be able to ask for someone to go to the government, go to the mass grave in the west to have a look!" ”
Ye Huaijin went back surprisingly fast.
The man is dead, dead!
He was not mistaken!
Ye Huaiyu, he is really not so kind!
On the way back to his yard, he ran into Xie Wanyan again, the woman was still soft and weak, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes when he saw him, but he lowered his head and saluted respectfully, "The slave family has seen the second son." ”
"You don't have to be so polite with me," Ye Huaijin held her up weakly, smelling the fragrance on the woman's body, and couldn't help but feel a little drunk, "Miss Xie......"
Xie Wanyan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly glanced around, pulled his hand out of Ye Huaijin's hand, and said with a slightly blushing face: "Second son, please respect yourself!" ”
Ye Huaijin shook his fingers, silently reminisced about the taste of Fang Cai in his heart, and said extremely vaguely: "The third brother came to me today and said that he has no opinion, what about Miss Xie?" Still refuse? ”
Xie Wanyan's voice was almost inaudible, "Second son, this is in the house!" ”
Ye Huaijin also said softly when she heard this: "Miss Xie means that if we are not in the mansion at the moment, we will be willing?" ”
Xie Wanyan opened his mouth slightly in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to say this, and after reacting to what he meant, he hurriedly stepped back, "The second son is self-respecting, and the second son is ......."
Xie Wanyan seemed to be speechless, and he didn't know how to say the words full of words, so he could only blindly let him respect himself, and finally Xu Wei felt that it was not the same thing if he continued like this, so he bit his lower lip lightly, "sigh", and Zhang Huang ran away in a daze.
Ye Huaijin kept watching behind her, the smile on her face seemed to be engraved, but there was no joy in her eyes, but it was like ice and snow in the cold winter moon, which would break open if she didn't pay attention to it.
Ye Huaiyu returned to his courtyard and saw Cheng Jingxi standing under the porch, as if waiting for him.
When I walked over, I heard her say, "It may snow in a while." ”
"Huh?" Ye Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The princess will look at the celestial phenomena?" ”
Cheng Jingxi glanced at him, "It's winter now, and the sky is overcast like this, rain is unlikely, it can only be snow, this bit of common sense, what else do you need celestial phenomena?" ”
"What if you don't?"
Cheng Jingxi replied very calmly, "If it doesn't go down, it won't fall, and I don't like snow." ”
Ye Huaiyu also looked up at the sky, and said for a while: "It may be that the sky is about to change." ”
Cheng Jingxi's eyes froze, and she glanced at him quietly, but didn't say anything.
That day, the snow fell in the goose feathers, and when I got up in the morning, I almost didn't even open the door.
Ye Huaiyu was asked by a friend to enjoy the snow together, but Cheng Jingxi didn't like it, so she slept on the couch alone until almost noon, and then covered it thickly, led by Bi'er, and went to the other side of the fence.
The weather suddenly turned cold, and she kindly went to send Xie Wanyan some cold-proof clothes.
Originally, Bi'er only needed to go alone, but she was fine, so she also went to take a look.
Cheng Jingxi took one of the big quilts, Bi'er handed over the rest of the quilt and clothes to Pei'er, and then the two maids got the order to go to the courtyard to play in the snow together.
Xie Wanyan draped the big coat on his body and looked up at Cheng Jingxi quietly.
Cheng Jingxi was silent for a moment and said to her, "Are you satisfied with the current result?" ”
Xie Wanyan tugged at the corners of her lips lightly, "But it's all about taking one step at a time, what difference does it make if you are satisfied or not?" ”
"Now that you've come to this, have you ever wondered what you'd do if things don't turn out the way you want? Do you think the emperor will take care of you after you are put here? Cheng Jingxi stared at her, her tone was neither light nor serious, as if she was chatting with her.
Xie Wanyan said: "Since the slave family has arrived at the Shuai Mansion, they are ready to accept all the results, no matter whether it is good or bad in the end, the slave family will not regret it." ”
"You're stubborn." Cheng Jingxi said.
Xie Wanyan smiled lightly, "The princess too." ”
"I had the pleasure of meeting your mother."
Xie Wanyan, who had always been very calm, had an involuntary crack on his face for the first time, "Princess, what do you mean by this?" ”
"I don't mean anything else," Cheng Jingxi said slowly, "I just suddenly remembered." ”
Xie Wanyan suddenly took a deep breath, as if he was doing great forbearance, trying not to let his voice tremble, "If, if my mother is still alive, she will definitely not stop everything the slave family has done!" ”
"Have you figured it out? Ye Huaijin is not so ...... to you on the surface," Cheng Jingxi searched for the words lacking in her mind, "obsessed." ”
Xie Wanyan smiled slightly, "The slave family didn't want him to be obsessed with the slave family, and the slave family was also worried that if he was soft-hearted, he would fall short, but then, the slave family failed not only the slave family itself, but also Your Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
Cheng Jingxi was speechless.
She looked at her quietly for a long time, and finally she was helpless, turned away, and when she was about to go out, she stopped and turned around again, met her soft watery eyes, and said softly: "You are wrong, if your mother is still alive, she will not want you to come here to wade into such danger, she will only let you live happily until old age and death." ”
Xie Wanyan listened in a daze, but still didn't say a word.
But she's gone. She silently thought to herself, if she was still here, how would she put herself here!
Your Royal Highness, don't you think it's too late to say all this?
If you were so kind, why did you try so hard to help me in the first place, if you hadn't given me the opportunity, how could I have followed the trend and planned it?
There's never a turning back, and if you say so much that it doesn't matter, you might as well come back and help me.
Since you plan to sit idly by, don't stand in my way!
Cheng Jingxi stood under the corridor and looked at the endless snowfall, and let out a white breath, "You're right, it's really going to change the sky." ”
Five days later, Yuan knelt in Mrs. Ye's courtyard crying and asking Mrs. Ye for an explanation.
Ye Huaijin and Xie Wanyan stood side by side, the former frowned, as if he was afraid of dirty eyes, he didn't want to look at it and had to look at it, and the latter looked like a weakling, as if among the people present, she was the only one who was the most aggrieved.
"The woman who slept with her own brother, Ye Huaijin, you still have to be shameless!"
Mrs. Ye really wanted someone to take a rag and plug Yuan's mouth, shouting so loudly, for fear that the bad thing would not spread for thousands of miles or what?
"Ye Huaijin, what's so good about that little cheap hoof? Yes? Can't even compare to our six-year relationship as husband and wife? ”
Ye Huaijin didn't want to speak, but only clenched Xie Wanyan's hand tightly.
