Eight hundred and seventy-three, bold
When Zhou Yunxi came to the Northwest Hou Mansion again, it was already three days later.
Seeing that Xiling Jing was waiting for her with Xiling Jing, Zhou Yunxi suddenly felt flattered. From the previous conversation with Xiling Jing and the few things about Xiling Jing that Xi Lingjing occasionally revealed, Zhou Yunxi knew that Xiling Jing was by no means a good-tempered person who would give face to others.
But todayβ
"My third brother has returned to the Western Regions to repair the book." Xiling Ying and Zhou Yunxi are very familiar, and at this time, they almost guessed why Zhou Yunxi was like this, "Ask for marriage." β
Xiling's words made Zhou Yunxi's eyebrows raise slightly, and he said in surprise: "So the good thing of the third prince is coming?" β
"It should have been a good thing to come."
If the previous sentence of 'asking for marriage' made Zhou Yunxi feel very surprised, then the word 'should' in Xilingying's later words made Zhou Yunxi feel puzzled.
What does it mean to be 'should'?
"How?" Zhou Yunxi saw that Xiling Jing did not avoid Xi Lingjing and said this, so she knew that this matter was not something she couldn't hear, although Xiling Jing's face was not very good-looking, but since Xiling Ying wanted to say, Zhou Yunxi had no reason to miss such a 'gossip', "Why should something good be coming?" Is there something wrong? β
"Celie doesn't want to."
This time it was Xiling Jing who said it, which also made Zhou Yunxi more and more surprised. Zhou Yunxi thought about any possibility, but he never thought that Xili would refuse.
So after hearing Xilingjing's words, Zhou Yunxi fell silent and didn't know what to say. At this juncture, it seems that no matter what she says, it is not very appropriate.
"The letter has already been sent back anyway." Xiling Ying shrugged, looking a lot more relaxed compared to Xiling Jing's appearance, "As long as they can convince Xili before they return to the Western Regions, then this matter will not be a problem." β
"Why not?"
Zhou Yunxi was silent for a moment after listening to Xiling Jing's words, and saw that Xiling Jing did not mean to stop him, so he asked again. Although she knew that this was a private matter of other people's feelings, since the parties concerned did not stop her from gossiping, Zhou Yunxi naturally would not hide her curiosity.
"I'm tired." Xiling Ying blinked and replied seriously, "Xili told me that she has been following my third brother since she was eighteen years old, and she has been working hard for him and has paid a lot, but she has never received any feedback. β
"Not really." Saying that, Xi Lingying frowned, "Her original words are that the feedback she received was also what she begged for, and it was better to beg than to give back." β
"Now I almost lost my life twice, and it was all because of my third brother, and she also thought things through." Xiling Ying was a little helpless when she said, "Although she said that she still likes my third brother, she is not willing to live in his shadow day after day." β
Hearing this, Zhou Yunxi also understood why things had developed to such a point.
Just looking at the reaction of Xiling Jing, the third prince of the Western Regions, I am afraid that he is still in a state of not understanding and figuring it out. However, in Zhou Yunxi's opinion, this is not a big deal.
Xili has loved Xiling Jing for so many years, although she is tired, but as long as Xiling Jing is sincere and serious enough, Xili may not look back.
Moreover, the reason for Xili's refusal is not that there is no room for return. Zhou Yunxi thought clearly, but Xiling Jing, who was here, didn't necessarily understand it.
And looking at Xiling Ying's appearance, it is clear that she is ready to see enough of the excitement, and she is not ready to help her, the 'poor' third brother, give advice.
"I'll go see how Miss Cy is doing." Zhou Yunxi felt that he was just an eyesore here, so he also said softly, "Although I didn't have to worry about my life last time, I still feel a little worried. β
"I'll take you." 168
Xiling Ying immediately opened his mouth when he heard this, and he didn't mean to call Xiling Jing.
Not to mention that Xili may not be able to have a good face when she sees Xilingjing, at least Xilingjing is unwilling to be faceless in front of outsiders at this time.
It's enough for a humiliating thing to happen in front of your own family.
"Yunxi, I remember last time you said that she had a child in her womb?" Xiling Ying and Zhou Yunxi walked side by side, and only spoke softly after turning in the corridor, "After that, I asked people to check her pulse, and the doctor said that the child was very young, less than two months." β
"Xili has gone to the ghost gate these two times, will it be ......?"
Xilingying's words made Zhou Yunxi look at her.
The meaning of this is obvious, Xili is more concerned about the situation of the child in Xili's womb, and in comparison, Xili's importance is greatly reduced.
Zhou Yunxi felt that her mood was slightly complicated because of this, but after thinking about it, she felt that this matter had nothing to do with her. Xili and Xiling Ying are not familiar with each other, and it is normal for Xiling Ying to care more about her brother's flesh and blood.
It's just that it's better not to let Xili and Xiling Jing know.
"It was a bit dangerous before." Zhou Yunxi's voice was very soft, but it also had a soothing taste, "But there was no problem at that time, and there will be no problem now, you can rest assured." β
"That's good."
Xiling nodded, and the pace under her feet couldn't help but be a little faster.
When the two arrived at the room where Xili was, the smell of medicine became stronger and stronger, so that Xiling Ying couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
"The smell of this herb is so great." Xiling muttered that she was also willing to come to see her future sister-in-law, but the strong smell of medicine always discouraged her, and she rarely entered.
The last time Xiling Jing went in, it was to help Xiling Jing ask Xili what she thought about the marriage of the two of them. Nearly five days have passed since then.
"What's wrong?"
Xilingying's words didn't wait for Zhou Yunxi's answer, this was normal, but when she saw Zhou Yunxi's face with a sense of solemnity, Xiling Ying felt that something was wrong.
The last time Zhou Yunxi showed such a look, he still found that the baby gold and silver bracelet sent by Yang Zheng was dyed with inappropriate spices.
Nowadays -
"There's something wrong with the herbs." Zhou Yunxi spoke in a deep voice, his voice was very low, "Don't startle the snake, follow me in first." If anyone really does something wrong, they must also look for it secretly, so as not to alarm them, and in the end they find nothing. β
"I see."
Xiling Ying's face was a little ugly because of Zhou Yunxi's words, but she immediately smiled again.
It's just that Zhou Yunxi's words took root in her heart. These people used their hands and feet in Xili's medicinal herbs, so could the medicine she had taken before also be tampered with?
"Your medicinal materials have not passed through other people's hands, and they are all personally configured by me, even if someone has this mind, they have no chance." Zhou Yunxi guessed what Xiling Ying thought, so he opened his mouth to be relieved, "Don't think about it." β
