Chapter 309, he, chose power
Xie Jinyan's resolute reaction made Gao Minyue stunned for an instant.
She thought that even if her senior brother didn't love her, he would care about the former friendship in the end, and he would save her life no matter what.
But at this point, he refused.
She is not a smart person, but she has followed Zhou Huai for so long and seen so many intrigues, so she naturally understands the reason why her senior brother refuses to let her go to his mansion.
She looked at him in a daze, and took a step back in a panic.
The hope in his eyes gradually dimmed with his decisive gaze.
"That's it, if my senior brother refuses to protect my life, forget it."
"Anyway, if you have already fallen into this field, it is no different from death, and it is the same wherever you die."
Gao Minyue's eyes were red, she smiled bitterly, and sat back on the damp grass in despair.
Xie Jinyan's reaction also surprised Yu Qingwu.
She originally thought that Xie Jinyan didn't say anything at first, because she was afraid that she would misunderstand, and he cared a little about Gao Minyue, so when she proposed this resolution, he should have breathed a sigh of relief, and it should be information.
But at this moment, he didn't think about it, and refused without hesitation.
She understands why.
It's just that he never thought that he would be so decisive.
Is Gao Minyue not important enough in his heart, or is it ...... Power is more important in his heart than anything else.
For some reason, at this moment, Yu Qingwu suddenly felt a little frightened and a little scared.
She was afraid that one day, when Xie Jinyan needed to choose between her and power, his choice would be power......
He will not hesitate to choose to assert his power, as he does today.
"Your Highness, there is a concubine here, even if the Gao family lives in it, it will be fine."
After a short trance, Yu Qingwu opened his mouth again.
She raised her eyes, met the man's dark and deep peach blossom eyes, and said softly, "Outsiders have always known that I am at odds with the Gao family, even to the point of wanting each other's lives, even if you and I are husband and wife, but my words, in the eyes of outsiders, must be credible."
"At least, it's absolutely effective in proving whether there is *** between you and Gao."
Yu Qingwu's tone was gentle, however, the title unconsciously changed back to the original, unfamiliar and polite title.
Xie Jinyan has always been sensitive, so he naturally noticed it.
He pursed his lips and didn't answer.
only quietly, he held Yu Qingwu's hand.
He slowly glanced at Gao Minyue in the cell, with a hint of hesitation in his eyebrows, and he groaned for a moment, and said in a somewhat dull tone.
"Okay, since you think it's okay, then do as you say."
"Compared to the other places, for Ah Yue now, our mansion in Qingzhou is indeed the safest."
His expression was indifferent, but he deliberately accentuated the word "we", and the hand holding her wrist also slightly increased his strength.
Yu Qingwu did not refuse, but did not respond.
It was Gao Minyue, who was extremely keenly aware of the changes in the two for the first time, and for the first time, she really felt that perhaps, she was really not that important.
At least, it doesn't matter here in Senior Brother.
She thought that if it was Zhou Huai, she would definitely not care about her safety for the sake of her reputation.
She smiled bitterly in her heart, stumbled up, and thanked Yu Qingwu seriously and sincerely for the first time.
"Thank you, senior sister."
Her eyes were scarlet, and after she finished speaking, she no longer looked at Xie Jinyan more, nor did she ask Xie Jinyan for help.
Perhaps, now it is better to ask for help from this senior brother who loved her the most in the past, but it is better to ask Yu Qingwu, whom she hates the most.
After speaking, she trembled and held on to the fence again, for fear that Yu Qingwu would regret it, and asked her, "Senior sister, when can we leave?"
"Your Highness, how about we send the Gao clan to the mansion first, and then to the Song clan?"
Yu Qingwu withdrew the hand held by Xie Jinyan and asked him softly.
Her action made Xie Jinyan's chest tremble, and his eyes sank.
But in the end, Xie Jinyan didn't say anything more.
He only glanced at her deeply, nodded and said, "If Madame thinks it's okay, everything will be done as Madame says."
Xie Jinyan said one lady after another, as if he was deliberately emphasizing their relationship, and seemed to be reminding her of something.
Yu Qingwu was in a complicated mood when she heard this, but Gao Minyue was uncomfortable when she heard it.
It's really ridiculous, the once arrogant senior brother is now so humble in order to please a woman.
The most ridiculous thing is that the reason why he made this woman angry was because he gave up saving himself.
In the past, she would have questioned him.
But at this moment, she suddenly didn't want to ask any more, and she understood that if she continued to ask, she would just bring humiliation on herself.
The atmosphere was silent again.
All the way from the county government back to Xie Jinyan's mansion in Qingzhou, several people stopped talking, including Song Guan, who was also inexplicably embarrassed because of the embarrassment of the three of them.
The carriage walked smoothly on the official road, and I don't know how long it took, but when the sun was setting, it finally stopped in front of the scarlet gate.
"Senior sister, wait, I want to say a few words to you."
Gao Minyue stumbled out of the carriage.
Raising his eyes and looking at the elegant mansion in front of him, he looked at it for a moment, and called out to Yu Qingwu, who was about to leave.
Yu Qingwu finished instructing the servants and guards in the courtyard, and just stepped into the carriage, when she saw Gao Minyue calling herself, she turned around in surprise.
After a pause, he gave Xie Jinyan another look, stepped on the footstool again, calmly walked in front of Gao Minyue, and asked her lightly, "But what else?"
"Senior sister, I want to ask you for something."
Gao Minyue's eyes were red, she lowered her voice, and said, "Senior sister, if you have news of Zhou Huai, take the trouble to tell me, if you can live, it is naturally the best, if you die, I have to die with him."
"After all, there is no other person in this world who cares more about me than my father."
"Now that I think about it, I feel so stupid, I fought desperately, I desperately grabbed it, and I desperately tried to protect it."
"Even at the cost of people's lives! I think I'm the most important person in the other person's life."
"In the end, I realized that in fact, in the eyes of the other party, I was nothing......
"I was sorry for you."
Gao Minyue hung her head, and in the end, she gradually fell silent.
Looking at her look, Yu Qingwu's mood suddenly became extremely complicated.
She didn't sympathize with Gao Minyue's current situation, but she ...... But I was afraid that one day I would become the second Gao Minyue.
"Go in, I'll tell you when there's news."
whispered back to her, and Yu Qingwu turned around and returned to the carriage.
In the carriage, Xie Jinyan and Song Guan sat opposite each other expressionlessly, and there was a vacant seat on either side of the two.
It was impossible for Yu Qingwu to sit beside Song Guan, so he sat next to Xie Jinyan.
As soon as he sat down, Xie Jinyan took her hand and asked softly, "Ah Wu, what did Ah Yuedu say to you?"
