Chapter 17: Banquet Storm 2

In the snow, Ye Qiongwen was wearing a cloak, and the guards beside him were holding umbrellas and accompanying him.

Just now, the family came to report, saying that the Liang brothers and sisters had arrived, and Ye Qiongwen, who had not told Xin Xin the truth, knew that he was at a loss, so he immediately rushed from the study to the living room.

It's just that before the others arrived in the living room, the family called out the names of all the invited male guests.

Coincidentally, everyone came so early, and it was the front foot after the back foot, Ye Qiongwen stood in place, first went to Xin Xin to explain that it was not, and it was not to turn around to greet the guests at the door, and finally could only stand in place, waiting for these guests.

He told Liang Zhesi yesterday and asked him to come over early today, he had time to explain to Xin Xin, and if these people came later, he could also help him deal with it, but he didn't calculate it, this group of people was also in a hurry or late, and they all gathered at this hour, and they really didn't give him any extra time.

Ye Qiongwen was very helpless, and now she could only greet the guests first, and Xin Xin's side could only explain to her in detail later. I don't know, how long can Xin Xin be angry after a while? How do you coax her to stop being angry?

Alas, it's cool to hide for a while, and the crematorium afterwards, if I knew this, I should have confessed yesterday, and now I'm standing here stupidly, and there is no one.

"Ye Shizi!" Zhao Rui was the first to arrive, today he is still wearing a thin red dress, wrapped in a red cloak, his hair is just loosely tied in a knot at the back of his head, his eyes are bright, he walks, the weak willow supports the wind, at first glance, he thought he was a beautiful girl.

"King Zhao!" Ye Qiongwen solemnly returned the salute, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, this Zhao Rui, but judging from his appearance, he just looks a little demonic, looking for flowers and asking willows or something, I really can't imagine it.

"Ye Shizi!" What followed was the two princes of Wei, the two of them walked side by side, talking and laughing, and walked in front of Ye Qiongwen, without the discord as the world rumored.

"Prince Li, King Anding," Ye Qiongwen carefully looked at Li Chenliang, this person's appearance has no resemblance to Li Chenru, his posture is tall and strong, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his body is blessed with a heroic spirit, this appearance is more like Zhao Rui's appearance than Zhao Rui. Li Chenru's appearance is very similar to the portrait of the late Xiao Xiao that circulated on the rivers and lakes, handsome and heroic, feminine and masculine, these two stand together, it is a landscape.

"Arrow, why are you here too?" Li Chenliang and Zhao Rui are cousins, although the two of them don't see each other much, but they have always exchanged letters, and now that they meet here, they can't help but ask, "Is my uncle okay?" ”

"Who knows, I haven't been back for some days," Li Chenliang would appear here, Zhao Rui was very surprised, but there was nothing to worry about, and he replied with a smile, "However, it shouldn't be good, I should be so angry with me, I should not be able to eat for a while!" ”

"You're not too young, it's time to take care of yourself!" When Li Chenliang greeted him, Yan Nan also brought Qingchuan to the front.

"Big cousin, you're here too!" Yan Nan saw Li Chenliang's figure from afar, and regardless of the snow and slippery, he hurriedly ran over, pulling Li Chenliang's arm and coquettishly, "When did you come and where do you live?" Can I go play with you tonight? ”

"Yan Nan is here too?" Li Chenliang smiled and rubbed the young man's hair, today's Yannan is still reckless, only wearing a thin jacket, and his nose is red from the cold, because he has been in the house for a few days, the wheat-colored skin that was originally sunburned has returned to its original whiteness, and the whole person is carved in pink and jade, like a doll.

Qingchuan, who was following him, was more afraid of the cold than him. The whole person was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, only a beautiful head was exposed, and his appearance was also a clean and beautiful type, standing with Yan Nan, he looked like a twin brother.

"I've been here for a few days," Yan Nan greeted Ye Qiongwen and Li Chenru, and when he arrived at Zhao Rui, he snorted and turned his head, pretending not to see him!

"What, you're messing with him again?" Seeing his appearance, Li Chenliang knew that Zhao Rui deliberately made Yan Nan angry again, their cousin, although they didn't meet many times, but they were simple and kind-minded, in Qi State, they always liked to pester Zhao Rui when they were children, and in the letter written by Li Chenru, seven of the ten sentences were mentioning this cousin, and I don't know what happened in the past two years, and the cousins have been estranged a lot.

"Where do I dare to mess with him?" Zhao Rui cheekily denied it, "If I provoke him, my aunt doesn't know how to clean me up!" ”

"I don't want to talk to him, huh!" Yan Nan left the people behind him angrily, and walked forward by himself, and only remembered after walking a few meters that this was in Ye Qiongwen's mansion, and he didn't know where this guest should go.

"No matter what, Yan Nan likes you as a cousin the most, he thinks about you in his heart, everything is on your side, you, if you provoke him like this, he won't be close to you in the future, but no one will speak for you!" Li Chenliang shook his head, he was the eldest of the three, and now that the two little brothers were in a temper, he, the eldest brother, should persuade them.

"I know," Zhao Rui laughed, "I can't help it, I just can't help it, I want to flirt with him when I look at his pink and jade appearance." ”

"It's getting heavier and heavier outside, guys, why don't we go to the living room and talk again?" Ye Qiongwen stayed by the side, listening to them greet each other for so long, and the snow was falling so much, several people were all white.

"Good!" The group followed behind the family who led the way, caught up with Yan Nan, who was waiting in front, and went to the living room together.

In the living room, after hearing Zhao Rui's name, Wang immediately went to the front hall, and pulled Zhezhe to the inner hall, wanting to hide her.

"Mother, what are you doing?" There was nothing to hide in the hall, so Wang stuffed Zhezhe behind a screen and surrounded her in the middle. Zhezhe was a little crying and laughing, isn't this the three hundred taels of silver here?

"This Zhao Rui, I can't see it," Wang thought to himself, and when he heard this name, he was terrified, how could his own baby daughter have a connection with the notorious Zhao Rui?

"This is the Shizi Mansion, and the guests were invited by the Shizi, where can I hide?" It's already in the living room, and it's too late to go back now!

Zhezhe smiled bitterly, she didn't guess what reason Ye Qiongwen did this, these people, except for her senior brother Li Chenru, she either didn't know them, or she just wanted to hide.

It's not easy to get these people who are involved with her together! The panic in my heart turned into a panic, but thinking that my senior brother was also there, the panic in my heart calmed down a lot.

Even if her past is unbearable, and it is difficult for her to see people, when her senior brother comes, she has to hold on to see her, even if he ignores her and snubs her, she has to go and see him. Even if it's just a glance from afar, it's enough.

After meeting this time, next time, I don't know if there will be a next time.

"Then I can't see her!" Wang shivered angrily, and Xin Xin, who was following aside, did not speak, but only accompanied him silently. The person was invited by Ye Qiongwen, she is his wife, the daughter of the Wang family, and the sister of Zhezhe, and now in this situation, she can only be embarrassed here, she can't explain it, and she can't comfort her.

How nice it would be if we didn't talk about the banquet?

But she mentioned it, but this group of people were invited, Zhezhe is here today, what should I do?

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided," Zhezhe pushed away the screen and looked at Wang very calmly, "These are all people related to me, I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime, since everyone is here, let's go for a while!" ”

"No, it can't!" These three words, Wang almost shouted out, Xin Xin was stunned, from childhood to adulthood, her mother was gentle and tactful, speaking softly, such a gaffe, it was the first time.

"Why?" In Zhezhe's heart, he had always wanted to ask, and finally blurted out, "Me and Zhao Rui, what really happened?" ”

Two years ago, after Gongbo Zhezhe was rescued, he chose to hang himself, and what he saw was Wang and Zou, as well as his father and uncle.

"What nonsense are you talking about," Xin Xin immediately refuted Zhezhe's words, "How important is a woman's innocence, even if you talk nonsense outside, why are you here-"

"I'm serious," Zhezhe interrupted Xinxin's words, grabbed Wang's arm, looked into her eyes, firm and persistent, "Two years ago, when I was assassinated, was it really with him-"

Wang didn't answer, only turned his head to the side, but Xin Xin was anxious, "No, if you were taken away by him two years ago, your father and mother would have been like Zhao Rui for you, how could you be pressed on this matter?" ”

Two years ago, Zhao Rui's reputation had not yet reached this point. If Zhezhe really has something to do with him, his father and mother shouldn't be opposed?

"That's true," Zhezhe didn't listen to Xin Xin's defense, she only had Wang in her eyes, and Wang's face couldn't see the expression, just looked at the ground on the side.

Zhezhe already has the answer in his heart, it turns out to be true, two years ago, the reason why Gongbo Zhezhe hanged himself was because of this so-called innocence!

When I was still in love, I encountered such an insult, I was so ashamed and indignant, I couldn't think about it for a while, and I chose to commit suicide, so everything made sense!

"Mother, you speak!" Xin Xin didn't want to believe this fact, so she could only shake Wang's arm desperately, wanting her to tell her in person that what Zhezhe said was false, and that the kidnapping two years ago had nothing happen to her except for some fright.

But Wang was silent.

Silence means that these things have indeed happened, Xin Xin lied to herself again, this fact, she also knew it in her heart, and she retreated to the side in a daze and sat on the chair.

How can it be? How could such a terrible thing happen two years ago? How old was Zhezhe at that time, but he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, how could he be, how could he be?

Originally, this elopement, this catastrophe, was planned by her and her cousin, this result, should not be borne by Zhezhe, she is so young, she doesn't understand anything, how can it be?

Xin Xin's tears fell down with a snap, "I'm sorry, Zhezhe, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" ”

If I could have some ideas at that time, see clearly the consequences of stealing the jade seal and eloping away, and tell my parents about myself and my cousin in time, and tell my uncle and aunt, all this may not happen.

My cousin won't die, and Zhezhe won't lose his innocence because of this.

"Now is not the time to say sorry," Zhezhe felt sad in his heart, but no matter how sad he was, he couldn't change the past, and now, there are guests outside, they are crying here, what are they like?

"I went out first," when I didn't know the truth, all kinds of emotions in my heart turned over and over, some were afraid, some worried, some were annoyed, some were hateful, and I didn't dare to face it.

But when I really knew all this, I was calm. Anyway, it's all at this point, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and the broken jar can be broken, what are you still struggling with?

The more scared you are, the more you are afraid, the more you will be led by these negative emotions, so it's better to be brave!

At this moment, Zhezhe seemed to suddenly understand, and felt that he was stronger than he had ever been.
