Fang Rou touched her forehead, thinking to herself that she was too excited.
Xie Jingshi still stared at her, waiting for her answer.
She lowered her eyes and said nothing, unwilling to dwell on this issue.
"you you……"
She pondered for a long time, and finally found a topic to change and asked: "You are not young anymore. Most men at your age have children several years old. Why didn't your family arrange a marriage for you? Your sister Xie Jing'an I've heard a lot that she doesn't want to marry because she loves uncle Song Guo, what about you?"
Xie Jingshi is two years younger than Song Lianzhou and is now twenty-one.
Ordinary men would already get married at seventeen or eighteen, but it is really surprising that he has delayed getting married until now. He has good looks and a noble status. It stands to reason that there are many people who want to marry his family. And looking at his innocent look, it doesn't look like he is unwilling to marry because of love.
"I don't know. My father and mother only said that they already have someone they like, but the time has not come yet."
Have you found someone you like, but the time hasn’t come yet?
Fang Rou couldn't understand why the time hadn't come yet when she already had someone she liked.
If he can wait, is the woman willing to wait?
"Besides, I've never met a woman I like before, so I'm not in a hurry. Oh, I didn't before, but now I have."
He looked at Fang Rou expectantly, expecting her to nod with him.
Fang Rou turned sideways and sighed, still refusing, "You also said that your parents already have a family they like, so just wait for your father to arrange a marriage for you. If they know I don’t know what you’re thinking now, I’m afraid I might cause trouble, and I’m afraid I won’t let me go.”
"No, my parents won't."
Won't?
Fang Rou wanted to laugh when she heard this. It seemed that Xie Jingshi really didn't know what his father was doing behind the scenes.
Xie Muyun would not even let go of his biological daughter. If Xie Jingshi disobeyed his parents' orders for her and tarnished the lintel of the Hou Mansion for her, would he let her go?
"Of course, my parents may reprimand a few words, but they will never..."
"Aying said she wants lotus seed porridge. I have to go to the big kitchen to get it. She's hungry. She shouldn't go back too late."
"Fang Rou, I..."
"Thank you for your respect, sir."
Fang Rou stepped back a lot, keeping a distance from him, and then quickly walked away without looking back.
Xie Jingshi stood alone under the moonlight with a bitter look on his face.
*
In the study room of the Hou Mansion, there was the sound of things breaking and falling to the ground.
If anyone opens the door and takes a look, they can see Xie Muyun kneeling in pain.
He held the table with one hand, and with a trembling hand, he reached into his clothes, tremblingly took out a bottle of medicine, and was about to bite it open with his teeth. Unexpectedly, because his hands were shaking so much, the medicine bottle fell to the ground, and his head grumbled. Roll towards the study door.
His eyes were dizzy, his head was sweating, and he didn't even have the strength to stand, so he could only move forward one step at a time on his knees.
Halfway through, the study door was pushed open from the outside.
Although he had no strength, he still frowned and became angry. Without his order, who would dare to enter without his permission?
After raising his eyes and taking a closer look, he couldn't find the attack.
The person who came was his wife, Zhuang Yulan.
The bottle of medicine rolled right to Zhuang Yulan's feet. She entered the room, closed the door, and leaned over to pick up the medicine in one go.
When he arrived in front of Xie Muyun, he calmly handed over the medicine.
Xie Muyun seems to be used to the way he kneels on the ground like a dog.
Xie Muyun didn't say much. After taking the medicine, he sat down slightly and opened the cork of the bottle with still trembling hands. He poured two yellow pills into his mouth and swallowed them dry.
"This medicine is useless, so what's the difference between taking it and not taking it?"
Zhuang Yulan's tone was calm, and there was no trace of emotion in her eyes.
Xie Muyun sat steadily, not answering and just asked: "What do you want from me?"
"Why are I looking for you?" Zhuang Yulan laughed, looked down at him and said, "I never look for you for my own business. Even if I have something to do, I won't look for you. I only look for you for the sake of my children. I see these days Jingshi is very weird, I asked someone to inquire about it, he must have a sweetheart."
"The one named Fang Rou?" Xie Muyun asked.
Hearing this, Zhuang Yulan smiled again, "So you already know it. In this case, I will tell you clearly. If he really wants it, then I will agree to it."
Xie Muyun raised his head and looked at her in surprise.
After a long time, he continued: "That woman signed a slave contract and was a servant. Not to mention, she was once imprisoned for theft, and she became pregnant before marriage and had bad morals..."
"No matter how bad you are, how can anyone in your family be so bad?" Zhuang Yulan sneered and burst into tears, her eyes filled with tears, "People who even drink the blood of their own daughters and granddaughters, what are they compared to you? "
Listening, Xie Muyun also laughed out loud.
He was so weak that he smiled weakly while holding the medicine bottle in his hand.
"You care about her now? When you lied to her that you knew about her mother, why didn't you think of loving her?"
This she refers to Shen Zhixi.
"I don't love her, I just want Jing'an to get her wish. I have already wronged Jing Shi in my life, and I can't wrong Jing'an anymore. I want her to be happy, I want her to be safe and happy, and I want her to be safe throughout her life. "
Zhuang Yulan couldn't hold on, and finally shed tears.
She slowly leaned forward, looked at Xie Muyun with eyes full of resentment, gritted her teeth and said, "My life will be ruined if I marry your Ningcheng Marquis Mansion!"
Xie Muyun slowly softened his aura and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her.
After another long while, he whispered again: "These years, I have really suffered for you."
"Bitter, it's my Jingshi!" Zhuang Yulan snatched the medicine bottle from Xie Muyun's hand, stood up, threw it away, and smashed it against the wall, "Xie Muyun, you will be in the West Tenth School next year, right? After so many years of hard work, you are relieved, but I am still young. He has just turned 20, how do you want him to live in the next few decades? We were having dinner with him that day, and he suddenly felt dizzy. There is a disease."
She said, suddenly breathing heavily.
He spread his hands and looked at the eaves high above his head, looking a little crazy.
"Soon, soon he will start to have dizziness, tinnitus, angina, and even vomiting blood. It will start to happen every few months, then slowly every half a month, and the pain lasts for several days at a time, and then every few days. It hurts once when I urinate. Normally, I don’t see anything abnormal at all, but every time I have an attack, I will be in unbearable pain. If I don’t want to bear the pain, if I don’t want to live beyond the West Ten, then I can only use the blood of my own ancestry and the same clan, or even my blood descendants. Blood is used to refine medicine and cure diseases...Xie Muyun!"
She turned around suddenly and pointed at Xie Muyun.
"Xie Muyun, tell me, how should I explain to Jing Shi?"
"My Jingshi fell into your Xie family, which is a great misfortune in his life. You have harmed me so much that I dare not marry and have children. If you harm his wife again like you harmed me, you will also harm his children." My son, passed down from generation to generation, the pain will never end!"
She sniffed, she was so sad that she couldn't hold back the runny nose.
"Xie Muyun, I came to you today just to tell you that no matter what Jing Shi wants to do or what he wants, you are not allowed to stop him. Fang Rou has had children before, and she is not very old now. If she is well educated, she might be able to It’s a thoughtful thing, so they don’t have to have another child between them.”
"All the pain has been enough for him. I don't want to see his son go through the same pain again. Do you understand what I mean?"
