Chapter 34: Dreams Shattered

Xin Zhaoxun saw his little daughter's solemn expression and knew that what she said was true, so he raised his hand slightly, interrupted his daughter's words, and said, "Xiao'er, first send someone to invite your brother back, and when he comes back, you will explain it to us from beginning to end." ”

When the family gathered in the main hall, Xin Zhaoxun said, "Xiao'er, tell me everything you know." ”

So Xin Daihuai told the whole thing from discovering her sister's affair with Yuan Ye to finding out her sister's travel information today.

Xin Zhaoxun's face was pale, and when Xin Lanshi heard that his daughter had eloped with another man, his face turned pale instantly, and he almost fainted. Xin Ruilin and his wife are also delirious. No one spoke in the main hall for a long time, and I don't know how long it took, Xin Zhaoxun suddenly stood up, Xin Lanshi saw Fujun's resolute expression, and was so shocked that he grabbed his sleeve and asked tremblingly, "Fujun, are you...... What are you doing? ”

Xin Zhaoxun asked rhetorically, "What am I going to do?" What else can I do?! I, Xin Zhaoxun, have a bright and upright life, worthy of the ancestors of the heavens, and worthy of my wife and children. just gave birth to such a bad daughter! If she is alone, it would be fine if she has no marriage contract, but she has a marriage contract, not only with a marriage contract, but also with the Qiu family. I ask you who the Qiu family is?! Aside from the Overseer's family, the Qiu family is the benefactor of our Xin family! If it hadn't been for the Overseers bringing us back to Pudong, our family would have starved to death in Pudong! If it weren't for the fact that the Overseers had valued me and promoted our family in the past few years, do you think we would have been able to gain a foothold in a place where we didn't know in just a few years? She turned her back on the lord because she was unfaithful; To turn one's back on one's parents is to be unfilial; It is unkind to turn one's back on one's relatives; It is unrighteousness to break the marriage covenant. Such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous person, what am I going to leave her to do in this world?! I'm going to plead guilty to the Overseer, and ask him to send troops to capture the wilderness and the unscrupulous woman. Then remove her from the clan genealogy completely! Our Xin family doesn't have such an ungrateful thing, and I, Xin Zhaoxun, don't have such a shameless daughter! ”

Xin Lanshi was so frightened that he knelt at Xin Zhaoxun's feet, crying and begging: "Husband, I beg you, I beg you, don't go to the Overseer, don't let the Qiu family know." If the Qiu family knew, there would really be no way out. Let's go to Yi'an first to find Xun Xun and bring her back, okay? ”

Xin Ruilin also knelt down with his mother and begged, "Father, please calm your anger." She is still young, and there will always be times when she is bewitched by someone who does not distinguish between right and wrong, so you can give her a chance to change her ways. ”

Only Xin Daiyu did not kneel and beg Xin Zhaoxun in the hall, she looked directly at her father and said, "Father, Huai'er thought that the Qiu family should know about this matter, but I just beg you not to give up on your sister." If you don't speak to the Overseers, she is not a man, and she has no gold under her knees. She can go and plead with the Overseer on your behalf, asking him to forgive her sister's sins. Brother Zeyuan also loves his sister very much, and he should also forgive her and accept her again. ”

Xin Zhaoxun looked at this little daughter carefully for the first time after hearing Xin Daiyi's answer, and found for the first time that she was really as young as her name, she understood the overall situation, and everything she said was reasonable.

"Xiao'er, you've been busy for your sister's business for so many days, let's go back to the room and rest first. Though you have no gold under your knees, you cannot take it for anyone else. Leave this matter to your father, and you won't have to worry about it. ”

"Father, I'll let you go with you to the Overseer."

Xin Zhaoxun thought that he had already lost one of his daughters, and he must not let another daughter have any problems, so he categorically rejected Xin Daihuai's request and asked her to accompany Xin Lan's family back to the room to rest.

Just as the group walked out of the main hall, they suddenly noticed that there were two people in the corner of the main hall, and Xin Daiyi saw who those two people were, and the color behind them was as pale as theirs.

Xin Zhaoxun saw Qiu Zeyuan in the corner holding the flower stand tightly, his eyes were scattered, his face was as white as paper, and he couldn't say a word for a while. Tong Fengyi beside him was not much better than him, but when he saw them come out, he was the first to come back to his senses, supported Qiu Zeyuan beside him, and said, "Zeyuan, I'll accompany you back to the house first." ”

Qiu Zeyuan was touched like a frightened bird, he turned his head to look at Tong Fengyi, and said with a smile: "Feng Yi, how can I still dream of you in my dreams?" This dream is so bad, I have to wake up quickly, and you still have to accompany me to see the Xinruo Lake built for Xun Xun, right? ”

Tong Fengyi saw that Qiu Zeyuan actually began to talk about dreams, and he was so sad that he didn't know what to say, so he just blindly supported him and wanted to pull him back to the Overseer's Mansion, but Qiu Zeyuan seemed to have taken root here, and he couldn't move no matter how he moved.

Tong Fengyi couldn't help but roar angrily: "Ruilin! Help me bring him home! ”

The Xin family woke up like a dream, Xin Ruilin hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to take Qiu Zeyuan away with Tong Fengyi, Xin Daiyu also came forward and cried and begged Qiu Zeyuan, but Qiu Zeyuan looked at these people's mouths one by one, and couldn't listen to their words at all, Tong Fengyi and Xin Ruilin couldn't pull him. Finally, the flower stand could not withstand the pull of several men, and broke with a click, and the vases on the shelf fell to the ground one by one and shattered. Several people suddenly lost their center of gravity and fell to the ground one after another.

Tong Fengyi and Xin Ruilin both stood up and rubbed their bodies in pain, but Qiu Zeyuan was prostrate on the ground, carefully picking up the fluttering iris petals, Xin Daiyi saw Qiu Zeyuan's heart like a knife, slowly squatted in front of him, stretched out his arms to hold him in his arms, choked and shouted: "Brother Zeyuan......"

Qiu Zeyuan smelled the faint fragrance of plum blossoms on Xin Daiyi's body, and with the last glimmer of hope, he asked stupidly: "Xiao'er, where is your sister?" Is she waiting for me in the room? It is said that men and women can't meet before marriage, are you afraid that I can't help but go to her, so I made up such a story to deceive me, right? You go and tell your sister and let her say a word to me, and I will leave when I hear her voice, and promise not to see her, okay? Okay, I beg you, you let her say a word to me, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you......"

A person suddenly knelt in front of Qiu Zeyuan with a "plop", and then he raised his head and looked at Xin Zhaoxun, who was flushed and had tears in his eyes.

"Zeyuan, uncle is sorry for you. If you want to kill or chop, I have no complaints, you don't want to be like this, I beg you. I'm going to ask your father for the sins now, and you can do whatever you want with us, and don't torture yourself. ”

Qiu Zeyuan's eyes gradually turned blood-red with Xin Zhaoxun's words, Xin Zhaoxun saw that he was still silent, afraid that he would drag down his body again, so he stood up and said, "Feng Yi, Dai Wei, you take care of Zeyuan." Ruilin, go to the Overseer with his father. ”

Xin Zhaoxun's footsteps were suddenly stopped by a pair of hands, he lowered his head, and found that it was Qiu Zeyuan.

"Uncle Sim, you can't go, you can't go to your father. If this matter is known to his father, he will be completely ruined. She would be captured and tortured to death. I don't want it, don't ...... I must not let her suffer those sins. Uncle Sim, shall we go and get him back first? I don't believe that Hyun Hyun has no feelings for me at all, I get her back, and as long as she is willing to turn back, we treat it as if nothing happened. No one but the people in this courtyard will know what happened today......"

Xin Zhaoxun leaned down and stroked Qiu Zeyuan's forehead, which burst out of the green tendons under his mourning, and said bitterly: "Child...... It's hard for you to think about that rebel girl at this time. Uncle promises you, uncle promises you everything, you go to the guest room to rest for a while, and uncle will lead people to chase them to ensure that you will live up to your wishes. ”

After Xin Zhaoxun and Xin Ruilin left, Tong Fengyi and Xin Daiyi helped Qiu Zeyuan to the guest room, and after Qiu Zeyuan fell asleep, Tong Fengyi whispered to Xin Daiyi: "Xiao'er, come out for a while, I have something to tell you." ”

Xin Daiyi glanced at the sleeping Qiu Zeyuan, and walked out of the guest room with Tong Fengyi lightly. It's just that they didn't see it, and the moment they closed the door, Qiu Zeyuan opened his eyes......

"You already knew that your sister had an affair with the wilderness, why didn't you tell us until they eloped?" Tong Fengyi asked in a cold voice.

Xin Daihuai faced Tong Fengyi's question, her eyes were full of tears, and she choked up: "I...... After all, this matter is about my sister's reputation, and I wanted to persuade my sister to turn back, but ...... However...... "Xin Daiyi" has been "for a long time, and I can't tell you about the struggles and pains in my heart for so many days."

She doesn't want her sister to never recover, and she doesn't want her sister to marry a man she doesn't love. She didn't want Brother Zeyuan to suffer for the rest of her life, and she didn't want Brother Zeyuan to be unpopular. She couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong in this matter, and she couldn't figure out where she should go. The most terrifying thing is that since the voice in her heart was awakened by the wilderness, she felt unprecedentedly hesitant and helpless.

All the pain turned into endless tears in front of her Feng Yi brother at this moment. Tong Fengyi originally had a lot to ask Xin Daiyi, but seeing her crying in front of him, he felt that all the questions no longer had any meaning. He could only hold her in his arms, coaxing her over and over again like she coaxed a baby when she was a child, "Okay, I won't ask, I won't ask anything." As long as your sister can come back and Zeyuan can be safe and sound, I won't pursue anything. ”

Xin Daiyi gradually calmed down, and couldn't help but be surprised to see that most of Tong Fengyi's clothes were wet with her tears. Tong Fengyi saw her face and teased her: "When you were young, nothing flowed on my clothes, and now I know that I don't mean it's a little late?" ”

Xin Daiyi's face turned even redder when she heard Tong Fengyi say this, and she was busy trying to change the topic, she suddenly thought that they were coming strangely, so she asked, "How did you get in?" Why didn't anyone report it, so you appeared in the main hall silently? ”
