Chapter 14: No Substitute
Xie Chen returned to his master bedroom, closed the door and sat down, opened the agreement, checked the contents on it, and finished reading it in less than half a stick of incense.
Then he clapped his hands, and saw a person wearing a black shirt and a mask coming in from the window, kneeling on one knee on the ground, and saluting Xie Chen: "General, are you looking for me?" ”
Xie Chen handed him the agreement: "I called you here, there is something that needs to be done." ”
The man lowered his head and signaled, "If the general has orders, you might as well say it directly." ”
Xie Chen carefully rolled up the agreement, looked at it, and tied it with a rope with no peace of mind, before he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Go out carefully, take it and bury it." ”
"From the general's actions just now, your subordinates can see that you seem to be very careful to protect this piece of paper, but why do you bury it? Where is this going to be buried? What is it again? ”
"First bury it under the peach tree when I first met her, remember to bury it a little deeper, don't be seen, or you won't have to come back." Xie Chen said to him.
The man seemed to see that Xie Chen was deliberately avoiding answering this question, so he consciously bypassed this hurdle: "Yes, my subordinates obey orders." ”
When the man was far away, Xie Chen walked to Siwan's dresser unhurriedly, looked at the jasmine hairpin she liked the most, and said to himself: "Driving you out is a delaying tactic and to protect your safety, Wan'er, you can't know too much now, otherwise it won't be good for your situation." But you should blame me now for kicking you out in such a hurry......"
"What?! That's how the family kicked you out? Bai Li asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's that simple." Siwan said calmly.
"Oh, my Wan'er, how can you be so calm when something so big happens?" Bai Li jumped up from his chair in a hurry.
"I'm leaving." Siwan's words are so, but if Xie Fu didn't act in this play, she wouldn't have resolutely left that place of right and wrong like she invited herself to the court.
"Then are you willing not to apologize after being wronged by them?" Bai Li said: "This doesn't look like you." Bai Li asked.
"What's this, it's just an ordinary intrigue, I've lived in the deep palace for so many years, what big scene haven't I seen?" When Siwan spoke, her eyes were already a little erratic.
Bai Li took a closer look and found that Siwan's eyes had turned red, but she still pretended to be calm as if nothing had happened.
Bai Li immediately felt distressed: "Oh, Wan'er, don't cry, why are your eyes red again?" I know you're wronged, you're uncomfortable, you're like this, I'm not comfortable, I want to cry too......"
Siwan wiped the tears from her face with her hand, "Actually, there's nothing to cry about, it's good to change the angle, you see, I can live a long, long time again, isn't it?" ”
"It's also ha, then you, when are you going to reconcile with him?"
Bai Li's words hit the key to Siwan's thinking at once. Siwan, who thought it was no big deal to hear the word "Heli", was hit in the heart by something.
"I'd better take a look at the situation, and if they make any excessive moves, I'll make peace with him." Siwan's eyes fluttered and answered Bai Li's question.
"In my opinion, you just haven't let go of Xie Chen's relationship with you at all."
Siwan's hand drinking tea stopped, thinking back to the love scene of the past two years, the happy time playing with him, it seems that she really can't let go.
"Isn't it? I guessed right. ”
"You're right, I really didn't let him go, and I couldn't." Siwan put down the teacup in her hand.
"It's not me talking about you, he's just a scumbag who hinders the development of your fate and affects your emotions, except for that little bit of pitiful pity, he can't give you anything, what can't you let go of him?" Bai Li couldn't stand it anymore, and dissuaded him again and again, "Wan'er, I know that the three words 'break, give up, and leave' are difficult to do, ordinary people can't do it, even your father can't do it, but people always have a new beginning after they keep losing, so when it's time to let go, you have to say goodbye to the past, isn't it?" ”
Siwan listened to Bai Li say such a long paragraph, and her heart was touched, and after a while, she took Bai Li's hand: "I know what you mean, you are for my good, you are afraid that I will not be able to get out of this relationship, so I will lose myself and collapse." But you don't know him, you don't know his previous friendship with me, which is one of the few friendships I have seen in the palace. ”
Bai Li was so angry that he almost didn't breathe: "Do you know? Memory punishes everyone who misses the old. Are you really just nostalgic for the friendship you had as a teenager? ”
"I don't know, I don't know if it's the right choice for me to leave him. Just like I used to, when I decided to leave him, I would unconsciously think of all the experiences I had with him when I was a teenager, and really, these memories are the reason for me to believe in him again. I believe that as long as his love for me remains the same, he will still be the same person! On the other hand, it's my own reasons, I'm timid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that once I leave him, I can't go back with him, I'm afraid that all my efforts will be taken by that unknown woman, I'm afraid that I'm really just a female partner in the book, obviously growing up with him, but I want to watch him and others like glue, I'm unwilling, so I want to try to fight, at the same time, I'm also giving him a chance, I don't believe that he will fall in love with another woman so easily. ”
Bai Li listened to what she said, and hit the point: "So, are you testing his loyalty?" ”
"If you want to understand it that way, it's not impossible."
Bai Li let out a long sigh and looked at the sunset that was already on the verge of dusk: "Good! If you insist on this, I won't stop you, just do it. But, as your best friend, I have to remind you that if you want to test whether a ceramic cup will break, I advise you to rest this heart, because you already have the answer in your heart, don't you? After speaking, he walked back in the direction of Baifu.
Siwan kept repeating Bai Li's words: "Ceramic, fragile......"
The next second, she shook her head vigorously, and kept saying over and over again: "No, it's impossible, Ah Chen is not such a person!" I believe in him! He must not be! ”
But then she remembered what had happened on the edge of the stream, and it made her even more confused, and she didn't know what was wrong with her, why did it turn out like this? She always felt as if Xie Chen was deliberately hiding something, but she didn't, because she didn't catch the evidence.
Perhaps from this moment on, Siwan gradually gradually developed an inexplicable sense of vigilance against her closest husband in the past.
- Xie Fu
Xie Chen watched the sunset slowly set, wandering impatiently in the room: "Hey, it's been so long, why hasn't he come back?" ”
"Knock, knock" a knock sounded at the door as he spoke.
Xie Chen thought that his subordinates had returned, so he immediately stepped forward to open the door, but what he didn't expect was that the person outside the door was not his subordinates, nor General Xie, but Ming Wan.
After seeing her face clearly, his face instantly darkened, and he said angrily, "What are you doing here?" Who gave you permission to come here? ”
Ming Wan pulled the sideburns in her ears: "Some old generals asked me to come, and he said that I should familiarize myself with the road of Xie Mansion first, so as not to be used to living in the future." ”
When Chen heard this, he was a little angry: "Who do you think you are?" Do you really think of this place as your home? ”
Ming Wan gradually began to reveal her purpose: "Young Master Xie, don't say it so fiercely, we still have to get along well in the future, don't we?" ”
This made him so angry that he almost didn't spit out the old phlegm on her face: "Don't be close here, I tell you, you'd better keep to yourself and don't think about anything else, otherwise I don't guarantee that one day when you're in a bad mood, I'll throw you out as garbage." ”
Mingwan said: "Then don't you have to ask this old general what he thinks?" ”
"He likes to think and think, he thinks about him, I'll do mine, otherwise, how about I let you feel it in advance now?" As he spoke, he snapped his knuckles, making a crunching sound of a kabaka.
Mingwan obviously felt that something was wrong, and you changed the topic: "Young Master Xie, it's rare to see you say so cruelly, is it in a bad mood?" Because of what? ”
Xie Chen didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, just sat on the chair and pressed his fingers to his temples: "Curiosity kills cats." ”
"Have you heard, then, that cats have nine lives?"
What Xie Chen hated the most was that the people he didn't like were still disobedient to him when they were together, so he looked at her with half-open squinted eyes: "Do you want to experience it, how many lives do you have enough to build now?" ”
Mingwan may have sensed his anger and stopped asking, and both of them were silent at this time.
Xie Chen saw that she was speechless, so he said, "Are you going out by yourself, or will I let someone carry you out?" ”
"Can't I stay here a little longer?"
Xie Chen's speech speed increased as he spoke: "Every second you are here will make my air pollution a degree, I don't want to be disgusted to the point of dying young, so, please go out, you can stay outside as you please, it doesn't affect me." ”
"Are you afraid that if Siwan can't help but come back, she will be unhappy when she sees me with you?" Mingwan said casually.
This is nothing more than a provocation of disobedience to Xie Chen, and he reprimanded sharply: "You are not qualified to preface her in front of me!" ”
"Why am I not qualified? You all know what she got me on, don't you? ”
Xie Chen Yin Yang said: "Some cats and dogs directed and performed a clumsy acting acting, not only did they not reflect on themselves, but they also felt that their acting skills were the best in the world, and they really regarded themselves as dramas?" ”
Mingwan's face turned red with anger when he said: "What kind of gentleman is he if he doesn't say it clearly?!" ”
Mingwan thought that Xie Chen would quarrel with her, but Xie Chen just replied coldly: "What you did, you know best in your heart." ”
At this moment, Xie Chen's subordinates rushed back, and when Xie Chen saw him, his eyes lit up and said, "You came back in time, hurry, throw him into the room for me." ”
Mingwan saw a person who was a head taller than herself coming over, and immediately ran out by herself.
"Major General, who is she?"
Xie Chen went back to the desk, took out the folding fan that was exactly the same as Siwan's hand, and opened it.
Without a moment's hesitation, he replied, "It's nothing, just an inconsequential person." ”
"My subordinates feel that she looks a bit like her wife."
Xie Chen stared at the folding fan for a long time before he slowly spoke: "In this world, there is no one who can compare with my family Wan'er." But in the past, present, and future, she is my only one. ”
Then he said, "Some dogs, really, the ghosts are still lingering......
"Who is the Major General talking about? If the general is annoyed, I will definitely finish him for you! ”
Xie Chen closed the folding fan, turned his head and said to him, "Song Xu, your reckless nature has been committed again." ”
"Subordinates know their mistakes."
"This dog, I can't move it for the time being, first, it's to keep her, and it makes sense; Second, the forces behind her are somewhat strong, and with our current strength, if we make a rash move, we will definitely lose both. So, this dog can starve her, but never let her die. Do you understand? ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand, please rest assured."
Mingwan came to the old general's room.
The old general drank tea: "How is it, can you get acquainted?" ”
"Familiar, thank you old general." Ming Wan spoke.
"Oh, you, you, it's not hard to guess from the choked tone, are you going to find that cub?" General Xie asked: What did you all say?
"I wanted to go to him and enhance my relationship with him, but I didn't expect to end up with a hot face and a cold ass, I, I don't have the face to see people......"
"Hey, you girl, you don't know what urgency is? You just invisibly forced his wife away today, can he not be angry in his heart? And how long have you only met him? You don't know how long he's been meeting Siwan! It is impossible to gain his trust and favor with you in a short period of time. So, during this time, let's live in a side courtyard first, and when that kid forgets about it, you can come back to live. ”
Mingwan asked, "Then, I want to know how many years he has known Siwan?" ”
Old General Xie played with the beads in his hand: "I met in the palace in October of the fourth year of Xuanyong, and now it happens to be the twenty-twentieth month of Xuanyong, do you think about it." ”
Ming Wan said in surprise: "He and Si Wan have known each other for eighteen years. ”
General Xie echoed: "Yes, Xuanyong only got married in twenty-three months, and now it has only been two years of marriage, you still have a chance to kick her out of Xie Chen's heart, I wish you success." ”
This is a big challenge for Mingwan: "Can I really succeed?" ”
Seeing that she was shaken, Old General Xie fanned the flames next to him: "Don't you want a life of glory and wealth?" Don't you want to marry the youngest and handsome general in the whole capital? Don't you want to be the envy of others? Don't you want to? ”
Mingwan struggled in her heart for a long time: "I'll try my best." ”
