γChapter error, click here to reportγ
Xia Wenxuan was sneered at by the incense of cigarettes, and her face changed greatly, white for a while and red for a while. She felt so embarrassed that she felt as if she had been slapped in the face, and her face was hot.
How could Chu Tiankuo not hear it, these were the words of Yan Xiang's mockery. He immediately spoke out to stop: "Smoke, what are you talking about?" β
Yan Xiang thought that he understood, and the senior brother was not really asking what she was talking about, but reminding her to pay attention to what she was talking about. Of course, she also knew that it was difficult for her to say these words, and Xia Wenxuan would feel uncomfortable listening to them. However, what she said was nothing compared to Xia Wenxuan's unreasonable request.
The smoke sneered: "Senior brother, I know very well what I'm talking about. She is willing to testify for you and help you clear your name, and I am grateful to her. But she shouldn't threaten you with that. It would be shameless to put forward such conditions. You must not promise her. β
Knowing that the senior brother couldn't listen to it, he still couldn't hold back the cigarette and wanted to say it. She said that she didn't move, senior brother, Xia Wenxuan pretended not to squeak again, she was really angry.
These words sounded extremely harsh to Xia Wenxuan, her eyes were moist, and her crystal eyes were filled with deep pain.
Chu Tiankuo couldn't bear to look at Yu Xin, and was about to open his mouth to help Xia Wenxuan speak.
Xia Wenxuan saw his intentions, but took the first step to speak: "Young Master Chu, I want to say a few words to Yanxiang alone. β
Chu Tiankuo nodded and walked away silently. But he didn't go far, and after some distance from the two of them, he stood still. His eyes looked at the two from afar, listening to their conversation with their ears pricked up, and keeping an eye on their every move.
It's okay to let the two of them talk alone, he knows that if he doesn't let Xia Wenxuan explain it clearly to Yanxiang, Yanxiang will keep making trouble. He trusts Smoke Incense and knows that she won't do anything out of the ordinary. Yanxiang hates Xiangye, it has nothing to do with Xia Wenxuan, she will eventually understand Xia Wenxuan.
But now she was emotional, afraid that she would lose her sense of proportion if she was angry.
As soon as Chu Tiankuo walked away, Xia Wenxuan let go slightly, not as embarrassed as she was just now. She opened her mouth to defend herself: "Yanxiang, I will not threaten Gongzi Chu with this, even if Gongzi Chu does not agree, I will also testify in court." β
It was pretty much the same, and Smoke's anger subsided a little, but she was still angry. She didn't give up: "Since you don't threaten with this, why don't you tell the truth directly in court, why pretend to be dizzy?" β
She's not going to be fooled.
Xia Wenxuan seemed to be choked by the throat and couldn't answer. Her eyes soured, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
made Xia Wenxuan cry, and the cigarette softened. She didn't stop, just hesitated, and then asked, "Why don't you answer Master Duan's question and only ask to see my senior brother alone?" You say you won't force him with this, who believes? β
Didn't you take her for a fool?
Xia Wenxuan's face couldn't be more red. She pinned her hopes for saving her father on Chu Tiankuo. She didn't expect Chu Tiankuo to agree. Yan Xiang was right, she shouldn't have asked for this.
However, as a child, how can she watch her father face the crisis of beheading because of her accusations?
That's right, her father has done a lot of wrong things, and he is a wicked person who many people spurn. Standing on Yanxiang's position, Yanxiang should hate him.
But, that's her father, her own father, she can't do that. She couldn't have been so ruthless.
Xia Wenxuan's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "Yanxiang, I know that my father has harmed Gongzi Chu and you." I am here to make amends to you for my father. β
Yanxiang glared at Xia Wenxuan angrily, and her eyes were surprisingly wide: "Isn't it a loss?" You're talking lightly. If it weren't for my senior brother's great fortune, he would have been killed by your father a long time ago. I thought you could distinguish between good and evil and stand on the side of justice, but I didn't expect that your so-called testimony was just to exchange conditions with my senior brother. β
As she spoke, she approached Xia Wenxuan, her eyes burning and pressing: "You protect your father so that he can harm more people's lives!" β
The smoke is getting closer and closer, forcing Xia Wenxuan to have no way out.
Xia Wenxuan's legs weakened and she sat on the ground. The last sentence of Yanxiang was like a heavy punch on Xia Wenxuan's heart, her cold sweat flowed down her forehead, and tears made her makeup even worse.
Even so, Xia Wenxuan still did not let go and refused to say a compromise word to the cigarette. Chu Tiankuo had already promised her personally that he would let her father go and would intercede for her father. She just didn't want Chu Tiankuo to retract this sentence.
Yanxiang doesn't know why he has to hold on to this. Daddy Hou's death did not ring a wake-up call for her, and she still did not learn to be obedient. She was so angry that she forced Xia Wenxuan, and she didn't expect that this would make Xia Wenxuan think about it.
Seeing this, Chu Tiankuo hurriedly rushed over.
What if Xia Wenxuan is forced to be anxious and she commits suicide? Chu Tiankuo actually took this issue into consideration. Now, the breakthrough in the case is Xia Wenxuan, as long as she testifies in court, everything can be revealed.
In order to let Xia Wenxuan testify in court without worries, he had to agree to Xia Wenxuan's request. He promised Xia Wenxuan just to appease her emotions. Of course, if Xiang Ye can reform his life and be a good man with his tail between his legs from now on, he is also willing to give Xiang Ye a chance.
However, the nature of the country is easy to change, and he does not believe that Xiangye will change his past. On the contrary, Xiang Ye will be cocooned and self-bound, and then Xiang Ye will be to blame. He protected Xiangye once, but he won't protect Xiangye a second time.
Besides, he only promised to protect the prime minister's life, but he didn't promise to protect the prime minister's high-ranking officials, so he didn't want to continue to sit firmly in the position of the prime minister. Perhaps, it is the best choice to cut off the official position of the prime minister and demote him to the common people. This is more painful than directly asking for Xiangye's life.
People are dead for a hundred years, and they will continue to suffer when they are alive. Especially those who once called for wind and rain and leaned towards the government and the opposition, all of a sudden lost all glory and wealth, and became living with nothing. This kind of life is worse than death for Xiang Ye. He had to spend his whole life in repentance, and that was the real punishment.
Seeing the senior brother coming over and protecting Xia Wenxuan, the smoke was a little cold: "Heh, the flower messenger is here." β
Chu Tiankuo was not angry and arrogant, he looked like he couldn't be taken seriously, trying to reconcile from it: "Cigarette incense, enough!" Don't embarrass Wen Xuan anymore. β
These words aroused Yanxiang's dissatisfaction even more, and she sarcastically said: "Yo, Wen Xuan Wen Xuan is so affectionate!" β
"I have my own opinions, so I don't need you to talk too much." Chu Tiankuo couldn't bear it anymore and finally said this.
The anger that had been pent up for a long time finally broke out, and all of it sprayed at him: "I hate you!" You scolded me for her mouthful! I hate you to death! I don't care about you anymore! β
With the words still in her ears, she stomped her feet a few times in anger and ran away in a huff.
Chu Tiankuo shook his head, looked at the back of the smoke that quickly disappeared, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Xia Wenxuan still sat on the ground, looking embarrassed.
"Are you alright, Wen Xuan?" Chu Tiankuo bent down and stretched out his hand to pull her up.
Xia Wenxuan's complexion softened a lot. She was very grateful to Chu Tiankuo for his tolerance and care for her, and for this greeting, she felt that it was worth the great grievances she had suffered.
She didn't accept Chu Tiankuo's support, and said politely: "Young Master Chu, I'm fine, you hurry up and chase the cigarettes, she may have misunderstood you." It's not good for me to cause you to have conflicts."
Chu Tiankuo smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Yanxiang is just angry for a while, and it will be fine when she is angry." You don't have to take what she said to you. What I promised you, naturally my words count. β
Xia Wenxuan had already stood up by herself, and before she could pat the ashes on her body, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. His heart was full of grateful words: "Young Master Chu, your great kindness, I will never forget." In the next life, I will be a cow and a horse, and I will definitely repay you well. β
As she spoke, she sincerely wanted to kneel down Chu Tiankuo. As soon as her knees were bent, she was stopped by Chu Tiankuo before she knelt down.
"Wen Xuan, what are you doing! Hurry up! Chu Tiankuo did not accept her bowing, and hurriedly helped her up.
Xia Wenxuan swore and promised: "Young Master Chu, don't worry." I will definitely testify in court and seek justice for you. β
Chu Tiankuo's eyes were warm, and he said lightly: "Okay, it's windy outside." I'll take you back to your room. He really didn't have anything to say to Xia Wenxuan, and he didn't have the heart to talk to her.
He was relieved that it was finally time to end the negotiation.
Xia Wenxuan smiled gently and said in a sincere tone: "No, I'll just go back by myself." Go and smoke the cigarettes. I sincerely wish you and the incense to grow old. β
She knew that Chu Tiankuo was in a hurry to find cigarettes.
She didn't have a good time pestering him. From the moment Chu Tiankuo agreed to her and agreed to her request, he had no entanglement with her. He no longer owes her, no longer feels guilty about her.
Now, it had become that she owed him a great favor.
"Thank you, Wen Xuan."
As Xia Wenxuan expected, after separating from Xia Wenxuan, Chu Tiankuo rushed impatiently to find the cigarette. He visibly felt relaxed, as if he had lifted a thousand pounds of burden. By the time the case was over, he didn't owe her anything. If he did not agree to her request, she had no intention of testifying for him, and he owed her a great favor. It's hard to repay the love debt, but this time he paid it off.
In the guest room, Smoke Xiang was sulking alone.
The door was open, and Chu Tiankuo walked in without knocking.
Hearing the familiar footsteps of the comers, the cigarettes don't need to look up to know who is coming. A hint of joy welled up in her heart, diluting a lot of anger.
Chu Tiankuo walked to Yanxiang's side, stood still, and didn't speak first.
The smoke came and went quickly, and she also knew that the senior brother was coaxing her to come. Count him still with a conscience.
It's just that his coaxing attitude is not sincere at all? People have been standing by for a long time, but they don't speak, what does it mean?
Yanxiang opened his mouth angrily, breaking the silence: "Why don't you knock when you come in?" There is no politeness at all. β
In the past, the senior brother often used to talk about her, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today, and it became her saying him.
She really suspected that if she didn't speak first, the two of them would be in a stalemate until dark.
No, it doesn't have to be until dark. Lord Duan only agreed that Chu Tiankuo would temporarily go out of the prison to see Xia Wenxuan. He deliberately violated the rules and came to her specifically. If she is not discouraged, he will not be at ease when he returns to the prison.
"It's not closed." Chu Tiankuo smiled and replied.
Actually, what he wants to say is that if you don't close the door, you're waiting for me. Seeing the cigarette pouting, still looking angry, he had to give up.
Adding fuel to the fire will set you on fire. At this time, it is better to be restrained.
Yanxiang was also convinced by this answer. Please, if the door is closed, you can still get in? However, the conversation has finally been opened.
She still looked like she was ignoring her: "Senior brother, did you go to the wrong room?" Sister Xia's room is not this one, this is my room. β
The subtext is that Lord Duan asked you to accompany Xia Wenxuan, but he didn't let you come to me.
Chu Tiankuo touched his nose and was not angry, he took it all.
After a while, he spoke again, his tone much softer: "I came to you on purpose, you listen to me......"
Smoke deliberately plugged the ears with two fingers.
"You don't have to tell me, I don't want to hear it." She interrupted him with duplicity and chagrin: "I said it, I don't care about your business anymore." β
Chu Tiankuo approached her with a smile and took off her fingers that were tucked into both ears.
He gently put his arm around her shoulders and asked the key: "Are you still angry that I promised Xia Wenxuan not to pursue her father's affairs?" β
Yanxiang rolled his eyes at him, angrily took away his hand on her shoulder, and said in a weird way: "That's your own business, you can do what you like, how dare I care." lest I be reviled again for my tongue and tongue. β
Chu Tiankuo didn't raise the bar with her, and said seriously: "Okay, okay, don't be angry." I promised her that she would have my own troubles. β
Only then did Yanxiang face it squarely, he didn't say anything, but his eyes looked at the senior brother, but there were doubts. That look seemed to ask, what kind of suffering?
Only then did Chu Tiankuo tell her what he thought in his heart.
When Yanxiang listened to the elder brother's explanation, his heart was even more shocked.
He first stood in Xia Wenxuan's position and explained Xia Wenxuan's difficulties to her. Let her put herself in her shoes, it is not easy for Xia Wenxuan. If he didn't agree, Xia Wenxuan would probably not be able to think about it and look for a short view. At that time, the original verdict of the case was upheld, and Xiangye was still at large. After thinking about it like this, it is better to agree to Xia Wenxuan.
Smoke scoffs at this. She knew that these were just high-sounding excuses for the elder brother. The real reason is that he is looking at Xia Wenxuan's face, he cares about Xia Wenxuan's feelings, or he sympathizes with Xia Wenxuan.
Of course, Yanxiang also understands that the harm caused by the eldest brother's refusal to marry Xia Wenxuan has always made him angry. He felt guilty about Xia Wenxuan and wanted to compensate her.
He took pity on Xia Wenxuan.
The most devastating thing about the cigarette is the point that the senior brother said at the end.
He was afraid that if he lost the case, Shui Mai would be punished.
He is afraid that the water veins will be punished! How could he not be afraid of Lord Fang being punished?
In the end, he is still for Sister Shuimai. All the emotions of the smoke burst out at this moment. He thinks about Xia Wenxuan and Shui Mai, but he doesn't think about her. Knowing that she was firmly against him doing this, he had to make his own decision.
"Are you distressed?"
Tears slowly slid down the cheeks of the smoke incense. One drop, two drops...... In a string, the corners of her lips were wet, salty and bitter.
