The sky was getting dark, and snowflakes fell all over the sky on the eaves on both sides of the street, and also on the slow-moving carriages.
The cold wind was blowing outside the carriage, but the interior of the carriage was filled with hot air.
Qiao Yin didn't know when she was put on his lap by him. One of his hands went around her back and pinched her waist. The other hand held the side of her face, as if she was kneaded into his bones and blood.
Xie Yu'an pressed her lips, wantonly and harshly, causing her whole body to tremble slightly, and she was helpless to resist, and all that escaped her lips were sobs.
He's not usually like this.
Fortunately, Xie Yu'an was still conscious and let go of her before losing control.
His father-in-law was at home and left traces, and Ayin had to annoy him again.
Qiao Yin leaned against him, panted slightly, and couldn't help but said: "There's something wrong with you today. What's wrong?"
Xie Yu'an took her into his arms and kept her close to him, but said lightly: "It's nothing."
Qiao Yin got out of his arms and looked up at him with some disbelief: "Tell the truth."
Xie Yu'an met her gaze and said slowly: "I was thinking, according to the life-extending method taught by Master Wu, you also fed me blood, did I also take half of your life away?"
Qiao Yin's body stiffened. She never expected that Xie Yu'an would do this to her.
Did he guess something again?
This guy is so smart.
If he really felt that he had taken away half of her life, he didn't know how much he would blame himself and feel guilty.
Qiao Yin thought for a while and said vaguely: "Is it possible...that it's the other way around?"
Xie Yuan looked at her and smiled: "Is it the other way around? That night at the night market?"
The tone was as calm as a casual chat, but it was like a thunder, deafening.
Qiao Yin opened her eyes wide and looked at him motionless, forgetting to even breathe.
She stood there stiffly, all of which already explained the answer.
Xie Yuan lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, "Breathe."
Qiao Yin came to his senses and took a deep breath, feeling completely shocked.
How could Xie Yuan be so smart?
Just give him a few hints and he'll figure it all out?
Qiao Yin was still in huge shock when Xie Yuan's voice sounded again.
"Ayin, will you disappear?"
"Like when you suddenly show up, will you go to the next place?"
Xie Yuan asked carefully, which made Qiao Yin feel heartbroken. She grabbed his hand tightly and clasped her fingers with his.
"I won't leave, I won't go anywhere. It was you who renewed my life. The two of us have been together for good and bad times, and we are dependent on each other for life and death."
Qiao Yin was thinking about how to explain the existence of the so-called 'system' so as not to scare him, when Xie Yuan suddenly took her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it.
"That's enough. I only want this answer, nothing else is important."
Xie Yuan had some vague judgments in his mind, but he didn't go into details.
That was an existence beyond his knowledge, and it was not something he, a mortal, should explore. Why should he bother himself and look for trouble?
Besides, he didn't want her to feel insecure.
She was brave enough to be willing to confess her life experience and tell him her real name.
She must not be able to figure out the remaining secrets herself.
Then let it remain a secret.
He is very content, he just wants to be himself and protect what he wants to protect.
Qiao Yin's heart was sour and swollen, and she felt like crying.
She knew he already understood, but he accepted her without hesitation and protected her secret with actions.
He will always be the warmest and most trustworthy Xie Yuan.
"Xie Yu'an..." Qiao Yin looked at him with tears in his eyes: "I didn't share half of your lifespan. If you can live to ninety-eight, I can live to ninety-eight. If you can't bear to live a short life, I will follow you." Lifeless. Do you understand? Now the lives of your sister, Xiao Qiao, your wife, your wife, and I are all in your hands. You have to live as long as you can, to live to be a hundred years old, the longer the better."
Xie Yu'an kissed the tears at the corner of her eyes and said with a smile, "I know, good baby."
Qiao Yin suddenly burst into laughter and forced back all her tears, "It's so disgusting."
Xie Yu'an smiled softly, held her hand in his palm.
"Let's go see the plum blossoms tomorrow."
Jiang Huairu's accident today also reminded him of one thing, he should do what he wants to do early, no one knows what will happen next moment.
"When the palace was giving rewards before, we were rewarded with a small village near Wan Zhang Cliff. We can go to the village to have a rest and then look for the pair of plum blossoms."
"I want to go." On the first day of snow, Qiao Yin wanted to go.
"Okay, then Zhuangzi has been idle for a long time. I will take people to clean up tomorrow and then send a car to pick you up."
Xie Yu'an's arrangement was naturally extremely appropriate.
After the two agreed, they separated at the gate of the Hou's Mansion. Xie Yu'an returned to the General's Mansion tonight.
The lights in the Hou Mansion were brightly lit, and Bizhu, leading her mother-in-law, was still counting the last batch of betrothal gifts and putting them into storage.
Qiao Yin walked over with a smile and patted Bi Zhu's shoulder mysteriously.
Bizhu turned to look at her, "Miss, what's wrong? What are your orders?"
Qiao Yin pursed her lips and said nothing, shook her head, and patted her shoulder again.
"Your lady patted you and gave you good luck." Qiao Yin winked at Bi Zhu.
Bizhu understood that her young lady felt extremely happy again today and couldn't wait to be a 'lucky boy', but she shook her head and refused.
"Bizhu doesn't need it, the young master should."
Qiao Yin stopped smiling: "What's wrong with my brother?"
Thanks to Yu'an's blessing and Mr. Meng being the matchmaker, the marriage between Qiao Mo and Wan Ran has been basically settled, and they will be engaged in the spring when the two families are ready.
Bizhu said: "Today Mr. Xue invited the eldest young master to come over and talk. The two of them drank and talked happily."
"Isn't this good? Master Xue likes his eldest brother very much." Qiao Yin thought it was good.
Bizhu continued: "The eldest young master got drunk and took Mr. Xue to kowtow in the snow. He also said that he would protect 'Brother Xue' and travel around the world, which made Miss Xue very angry."
Qiao Yin couldn't help laughing and laughed, "Where is my brother?"
"I sobered up and locked myself in the study. I didn't come out for a few hours." Bizhu shook her head, expressing her confusion.
"study?"
Is it possible that her elder brother has another 'unparalleled masterpiece' coming out?
Then she had to go and see.
Qiao Yin quietly came to Qiao Mo's study. The door was ajar. Qiao Mo was biting his pen and thinking hard about something. The floor was covered with various paper balls.
Qiao Yin didn't go in. He hid at the door. He reached out and picked up a ball of paper, unfolded it and took a look.
Her eldest brother is really writing poetry and can use allusions.
I saw that what was recorded on the paper was the latest masterpiece of 'Poet Qiao':
【Chang'e regretted stealing the elixir the most, but I only regretted drinking too much. 】
【The father-in-law turned around and became his comrade, the seniority was reversed and the daughter-in-law ran away. 】
【I feel regretful and annoyed at the same time. I will bark like a dog next time. 】
Throughout the whole article, the author's regret and remorse are written between the lines, especially the last sentence, which shows the author's determination to repent. However, because there is an extra word in "Next time I drink again, I will bark like a dog", it was crossed out. .
Qiao Yin secretly laughed for a while, not daring to disturb Qiao Mo's "elegant mood", and went back quietly.
……
The second day.
Qiao Yin got up to have breakfast with Qiao Zhendong, but Qiao Mo was nowhere to be seen, "Brother is still in the study?"
Qiao Zhendong said: "No, General Zhou from the Fifth Army Camp is here. General Zhou is going to lead troops to Lintai County. I heard that your brother is engaged, so he came here to send congratulations to your brother before leaving."
Although Xirong withdrew its troops midway due to civil strife, this undoubtedly gave Zhou a chance to counterattack, so it was understandable that Zhou would send more troops.
After Qiao Yin finished breakfast and rested for a while, the concierge sent word that the carriage arranged by Xie Yu'an had arrived.
Bizhu said very wisely: "Miss, Bizhu can't go out with you today. There are still a lot of things to take care of at home."
Qiao Yin winked at her: "I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
After that, Qiao Yin walked towards the gate, and Qiao Mo also happened to send Zhou Li out.
Qiao Yin said, "I have met General Zhou."
In the past few days, news about Qiao Yin and Xie Yuan's marriage spread throughout the capital.
Zhou Li cupped his hands towards Qiao Yin: "It's not easy for you two. Before the Western Year, General Xie thought you were gone, so he shot all the bandits' heads with a random arrow, and he almost went crazy..."
