Chapter 167: Persuade Xie Lingyun
Zhou Zhong came to the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce alone, but the first person he saw was not Xie Lingyun, but Xie Lingyun's father Xie Da, after the other party invited him to sit in the living room, he saw Xie Da sigh and said: "Nephew Zhou Xian, I already know about the marriage, but I don't know what your plans are?" ”
Zhou Zhong thought what I could do, unless I didn't plan to mess around in Daming, I had to marry Wang Jinxuan. But I thought so, but I couldn't say that, and I saw him sigh and smile bitterly: "Uncle Xie, God knows how His Majesty the Emperor would make such a holy decree, and let me get married immediately, without giving me time to prepare, and now the entire Songjiang Mansion is busy for my marriage, and the sixth day of the next month is the day of the wedding." ”
Xie Da was not surprised by Zhou Chong's words, after all, their Xie family's eyes and ears were all over Songjiang, and they knew very much about the marriage, and Zhou Chong could not disobey the holy decree, not to mention that the marriage contract between Zhou Chong and the Wang family had not been dissolved, and it was a matter of course to get married now.
However, although Xie Da can understand Zhou Chong, it is his daughter who is hurt the most in this matter, so he is still a little annoyed in his heart, only to see Xie Da glaring at Zhou Chong at this time, and then asked: "The marriage between you and the Wang family is a foregone conclusion, and no one can change this matter, but I want to know Lu Dao, how do you plan to deal with the relationship with Lingyun?" ”
Zhou Chongzhi said that Xie Da was a shrewd person, and it was best not to play any tricks in front of him, so he replied very honestly: "Uncle Qiqi, Uncle Xie, in fact, when she received the holy decree, Jinxuan told me that she was willing to let Lingyun enter as a wife. So if you want to......"
"Hmph. What use am I willing to be. The key is to see if Lingyun is willing? Before Zhou Chong's words were finished, he was interrupted by Xie Da with a cold snort. Of course, he knew what the identity of the so-called flat wife was, but now Xie Da was also very helpless, after all, his daughter was already destined to be a Zhou Zhong person, and it was useless to be angry now.
"How is Lingyun now, did she have any unusual reactions after hearing the news of the marriage?" Zhou Zhong asked with great concern, emotionally speaking, he was naturally more deeply connected with Xie Lingyun, who had lived and died together.
I heard Zhou Zhong ask about his daughter. Xie Da also sighed and said: "After Lingyun received the news, she locked herself in the room and didn't see anyone, she didn't open the door when I knocked on the door, and now she hasn't eaten or drunk for more than a day, and it is estimated that only you can let her open the door." ”
Zhou Chong also stood up suddenly when he heard this, and said very eagerly: "Then what are you waiting for, take me to see Lingyun, she must not do anything stupid when she stays alone in the house!" ”
Seeing Zhou Chong's anxious appearance, Xie Da felt a little better in his heart, and his attitude towards Zhou Chong eased a lot. At that moment, he personally took Zhou Chong to the back house of the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce, and it was not the first time that Zhou Chong had come here. Therefore, he was also very familiar with it, and when he came to the small courtyard where Xie Lingyun lived, he immediately opened the gate and walked in quickly, but Xie Da asked all the maids in the courtyard to come out, and only let Zhou Zhong go in alone.
Zhou Zhong came to the door of Xie Lingyun's room, knocked on the door with his hand, and just wanted to speak, but heard Xie Lingyun's crying voice from inside: "Go away, I said I have no appetite, you all give me a mouth!" ”
It seems that Xie Lingyun regards herself as a maid who takes care of her, and when she reopened her mouth next week, she shouted: "Lingyun, it's me, can you open the door?" ”
Hearing Zhou Chong's voice, Xie Lingyun inside didn't speak for a while, which made Zhou Xin anxious, and then said: "Lingyun, can you open the door, although this matter came too suddenly, we are not without a solution!" ”
Maybe it was Zhou Chong's words that played a role, but at this time, I only heard Xie Lingyun's footsteps inside, and then the door was suddenly opened, and I saw Xie Lingyun, whose eyes were red and his face was haggard, stood in front of the door, and looked at Zhou Chong's eyes and said with a very complicated look: "What are you doing here, why don't you go back to Songjiang and marry your Miss Jinxuan?" ”
When Xie Lingyun said these words, tears flowed down again, and then I saw her turn around, crying and running back to her bed to cover herself with the quilt, whimpering and crying.
Zhou Zhong was also very helpless about this, I saw him walk to Xie Lingyun's bed, stretched out his hand to pull the quilt on the other party's body, but he didn't expect to be grabbed tightly by Xie Lingyun, and after the last Zhou Chong simply connected the quilt to pick Xie Lingyun up from the bed, only then did he see Xie Lingyun who was crying and his face was flushed.
"Lingyun, no one thought of this matter, no matter how much you cry, you can't solve the problem, now for the sake of today, is to find a way to solve this matter satisfactorily." Zhou Zhong stretched out his hand to pull the quilt aside, holding Xie Lingyun with both hands and persuading.
I saw that Xie Lingyun struggled a few times, but he couldn't break free, and his eyes were red and he stared at Zhou Chong and said: "What else can I think of, now that the holy decree has been issued, it is a foregone conclusion that you and Jinxuan will get married, is it possible that you still have a way to make His Majesty the Emperor take back the holy order?" ”
Zhou Chong saw that Xie Lingyun was finally willing to talk to him, which made him happy, but he knew that it was not suitable to mention the matter of equal wife with Xie Lingyun now, after all, she was angry now, and it was impossible to think about things calmly, so Zhou Chong was also very smart to divert the topic, just comforting Xie Lingyun not to be too sad, no matter how things develop, his feelings for her will definitely not change.
Since receiving the news, Xie Lingyun has been in a state of sadness and despair, and at the same time, she is also worried that Zhou Chong will give up the relationship between the two and marry Wang Jinxuan. But now seeing that Zhou Zhong is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, and no matter how he loses his temper, he can patiently comfort himself, which makes Xie Lingyun also very moved, and his originally excited mood slowly calmed down.
"Lingyun, let's put other things aside first, I heard Uncle Xie say that you haven't eaten for more than a day, this is absolutely not good, it just so happens that I haven't eaten since I came back from Songjiang, why don't I ask someone to prepare some meals, and then let's eat something together, okay?" Zhou Zhong saw that Xie Lingyun had finally calmed down, so he persuaded her to eat something first.
Although Xie Lingyun still felt that he had no appetite at this time, when he heard that Zhou Zhong had not eaten until now, his heart was also painful, and he nodded obediently at the moment. And Zhou Zhong saw that she agreed, and immediately went to the door very happily to tell the maid to prepare, and then Xie Da, who was waiting outside, heard that his daughter was finally willing to eat, so he finally put his mind at ease, and then asked Zhou Chong a few words before going back and waiting for his good news.
Soon the meal was ready, a few light side dishes plus lotus seed porridge that nourished the stomach and replenished qi, Zhou Chong personally served Xie Lingyun porridge, and then accompanied her to eat it, but Xie Lingyun barely finished eating a bowl and said that he couldn't eat it, Zhou Chong was also very helpless about this, in fact, he didn't have much appetite himself.
After letting the food be cleaned up, Zhou Zhong chatted with Xie Lingyun for a while, and he also deliberately talked about the life of the two of them on the desert island, although that life was not long, and it was also very hard, but for the two of them, it was a sweet and unforgettable experience, and even Xie Lingyun, who was full of sadness, seemed to be in a much better mood when he talked about that life.
"Xianggong, you've already met your father before, what did you talk about?" Temporarily coming out of her grief, Xie Lingyun suddenly opened her mouth to ask such a question, and looking at her appearance, it seemed that she had regained her previous calm and sanity.
Zhou Chong was a little at a loss when he heard this, and he didn't know if he should tell the truth to Xie Lingyun, but he pondered for a while, and finally raised his head and said to Xie Lingyun: "Lingyun, just now I talked to Uncle Xie about how to deal with the marriage, but he said that his attitude is not important, the key is your attitude." ”
"Attitude, what attitude?" Xie Lingyun asked a little puzzled, in fact, with her intelligence, she had already guessed something, but she wanted to hear Zhou Zhong say it himself.
I saw Zhou Zhong sigh and tell the conversation between him and Wang Jinxuan in the carriage after he greeted Wang Lun that day and heard about the marriage. Xie Lingyun was also quite surprised to hear that Wang Jinxuan was willing to accept her as Zhou Chong's wife.
"Xianggong, what do you think in your heart?" I saw Xie Lingyun sigh at this time and asked, now that she has regained her previous calm, and she also understands that judging from the current situation, Wang Jinxuan's proposal is undoubtedly her most advantageous choice.
Seeing that Xie Lingyun didn't cry after hearing this, Zhou Chong was also relieved, and at the same time, he was much bolder, and immediately spoke: "I also think that Jinxuan's proposal is the best choice, but this makes Lingyun you feel wronged." ”
Xie Lingyun was gently snuggled on Zhou Chong's chest at this time, and only after a while did he say softly: "Thank you for your understanding, this may be the will of heaven, in fact, it was our Xie family who was sorry for Xianggong first, Lingyun even had murderous intentions towards Xianggong before, and then came together with Xianggong by mistake, but in this way, it made Sister Jinxuan the biggest victim. So I think all this is providence, maybe Lingyun is not qualified to be the wife of Xianggong! ”
Hearing what Xie Lingyun said about fate, this made Zhou Zhongzhong surprised, thinking that Xie Lingyun was unwilling to accept the identity of his wife, so he immediately hugged her tightly and said: "Lingyun, don't say anything stupid, you are destined to be my Zhou Chong's woman in this life, even if you don't have the status of a wife, but I Zhou Zhong swears here that I will definitely not live up to ...... in this life."
Zhou Chong's words were not finished, but he was blocked by a white and tender hand, and Xie Lingyun showed a free and easy smile at this time: "Xianggong, what do you want, I have already recognized you as my Xianggong in my life, no one wants to tear us apart, I don't care about the name or anything, but I have another request!"
