A few thoughts flashed through Nie Xingyi's mind, and he always felt that this matter was not very simple, but he couldn't guess the strangeness. But one thing he was sure of now - Qingcheng didn't want to see Nie Xingji.

After all, he was her husband-killing enemy, and she hated him as she deserved. Nie Xingyi looked at Qingcheng's cold appearance, felt more and more embarrassed about the atmosphere, thought about it, and smiled at Nie Xingji: "Second brother, do you know that these Emei thorns were once owned by Qingmei?" In front of outsiders, he can only call each other like this.

"Yes." Nie Xingji's words were concise and to the point, and his expression was as usual.

Nie Xingyi glanced at Qingcheng and smiled again: "In this case, why don't you give me a face and resell these Emei thorns to me!" also let me be a favor and return it to Qingmei. ”

"No need." Qingcheng suddenly interjected coldly: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

At the same time, Nie Xingji also replied: "Big brother doesn't know, I just want to give it to Qingmei." In the past, the younger brother offended her, and knew that her pair of Emei thorn pearls were falling, so he wanted to return the things to the original owner, hoping to atone for his previous sins. ”

When he said the last sentence, his eyes seemed to have fallen on Qingcheng, and his handsome eyes were full of hope, and the meaning was self-evident.

Nie Xingyi naturally understood, and all his questions were solved. It turned out that Nie Xingji had seen Qingcheng's Emei thorn, so he wanted to redeem it and make amends to Qingcheng. As for how he offended Qingcheng and what kind of crime he paid for, the whole world knows.

However, Qingcheng still didn't say anything, just looked at Nie Xingyi, and was already a little displeased: "Don't delay your brother's conversation, I'll leave first." She said that she had already bowed, and she really planned to leave.

Nie Xingyi didn't expect that she wouldn't even do the scene, so she knew that she really hated Nie Xingji. Just as he was about to make a round, Qingcheng had already walked to the door, lifted the bead curtain, and walked out of the pawnshop without looking back.

Nie Xingyi was very surprised when he saw this, and he hurriedly glanced at the guards, and one of them followed Qingcheng away.

Nie Xingji looked at the bead curtain at the door, his expression unchanged, but his eyes revealed a bit of vague deep meaning. He lowered his eyes and looked at the Emei thorn in the brocade box, and his tone was indistinguishable: "When did the eldest brother befriend her?" ”

"It's not good to talk about friendship, it's just to share my worries on behalf of my father, and do my duty as a brother." Nie Xingyi replied very frankly.

Nie Xingji still couldn't see his expression: "In this case, this pair of Emei thorns, please return it to her on your behalf." ”

Nie Xingyi pondered for a moment, expecting that he would definitely hit a wall, so he replied: "It's better for you to send it yourself, it seems sincere." After a pause, he sighed again: "I don't blame you for this, if it were me, I would do the same." How can personal feelings be placed above family and country, she actually understands it in her heart. ”

Hearing this, Nie Xingji smiled almost invisibly: "Big brother really understands her. ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Nie Xingyi smiled casually, and quickly moved on to a new topic: "By the way, when are you leaving for Fangzhou?" ”

"Tomorrow."

"So fast?" Although Nie Xingyi said this, his heart was relieved, patted Nie Xingji's shoulder, and instructed: "Slow down on the road, beware of injuries." ”

"Thank you big brother for your concern." Nie Xingji saluted.

Nie Xingyi didn't say anything more, bowed his head slightly to say goodbye, and hurriedly left the pawnshop, obviously chasing Qingcheng. The guards also swarmed to follow.

The storefront, which was still cramped and cramped, suddenly became empty, leaving only Nie Xingji alone. He watched Nie Xingyi leave all the time, and then slowly narrowed a pair of handsome eyes, his thin lips pursed, and his expression sank.

Seeing him look like this, the shopkeeper somehow felt a wave of anger rushing to his face, and he couldn't help but shudder, and his heart cringed.

As if sensing the shopkeeper's fear, Nie Xingji slowly turned to look at him, his eyebrows were heavy, and he cherished words like gold: "Hush money." ”

The moment these three words came out, a heavy object flew towards the door of the shopkeeper's head. The shopkeeper only felt the golden light in front of him, and thought it was some powerful hidden weapon, so he immediately squatted down with his head in his hands and hid under the counter.

I only heard a muffled "bang", and the heavy object had smashed on the counter. The shopkeeper trembled for a moment, and vaguely heard the sound of a beaded curtain colliding outside, and then he got up tremblingly and showed half of his head from the counter.

I saw that a hole was smashed out of the flat counter in front of me, and a gold ingot was heavily embedded in it, exuding dazzling gold.

Look outside the counter, where is there still half a figure? The pair of emei thorns are also gone. Only the beaded curtain at the door swayed back and forth, like the remnants of the handsome son......
