Nan Yi was at a loss and looked at Zhang Yuehui in confusion, but Zhang Yuehui just smiled at her, his narrow eyes slightly frowning, making people feel sincere and cunning.
She turned to Mrs. Gantang for help, but Mrs. Gantang was even more unclear about the situation than she was.
Finally, his eyes fell evasively on Xie Queshan. He sat motionless, his jade-like knuckles stroking the cup in his hand. She half hoped that he would say something, but it seemed that he had no intention of speaking.
Mrs. Gantang still came out to smooth things over: "The remarriage of a widow is different from an ordinary marriage. It is something that needs to be done with caution... And in the end, we can't make the decision. It still depends on Nan Yi's own wishes. "
"Zhang is willing to hire the entire Gui Lai Tang."
Nan Yi couldn't close her mouth in surprise, and Zhang Yuehui in her eyes became blurry again.
This was her childhood sweetheart. They got along day and night. Although she didn't understand him well, she was one of the few people in the world who understood him. Most of the time, he is a free and interesting person, but he has some strange requirements for things. Everything he handles must be perfect, complete, and meticulous. However, these signs are reserved, and he never puts them into practice. Bigotry inflicted on others.
However, things cannot always go as planned. Occasionally, he will show some paranoia that will not give up until he achieves his goal, and he will quickly wake up and cover up this emotion. In the past, Nan Yi had a vague feeling that this might be the real him.
After their reunion, she got a glimpse of his biggest secret, and she actually felt that there was a trace of logic in the absurdity. It turns out that he put his shocking persistence on other things.
She took the initiative to take a step back and forgave him generously, not wanting to dwell on the hurt in the past. No one is free and easy, she just pretended not to see it. She thought that the dust between them would return to dust. But he appeared again and again, declaring his dedication to her.
She felt frightened and confused. She couldn't remember. What was there between them that he couldn't let go of?
Zhang Yuehui finally suppressed the smile on his face and looked into Nan Yi's eyes seriously: "As long as you nod your head, you will never do business with Qi Ren again in the return hall, and you will be at the mercy of Bingzhusi."
He completely threw away the bargaining chip that he had worked hard for many years and put all the initiative in Nan Yi's hands.
He is a paranoid person, and there has never been a middle ground in his life.
There was silence in the hall.
"Wait a minute, what did you say?"
Nan Yi's mind was buzzing, and he suddenly realized something - he said Bing Zhusi? He said Bingzhusi in front of Xie Queshan? that is not……?
"He knows who you are." Zhang Yuehui was very calm and raised his chin towards Xie Queshan.
Nan Yi was caught off guard by the series of attacks and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
Everyone pays attention to the fact that there is something behind their words, making it difficult for people to understand, but Zhang Yuehui is simply a careless bastard. He likes to throw the words in people's faces, tearing off the fig leaf, so that no one can be ashamed.
Bingzhusi was taboo among others, but in the hearts of this Westerner in the hall, it was just a little secret that he knew very well and hadn't been brought to the table.
Zhang Yuehui just knew it right, so it wouldn't hurt if he exposed it.
Xie Queshan couldn't deny it - was he going to pretend that he just knew it? It will only appear that there is no three hundred taels of silver here. Every word Zhang Yue replied was forcing him to speak, and his face was as gloomy as a black cloud destroying the city.
It took him a long time to squeeze out a strange sentence: "Boss Zhang is so sincere."
"I am also afraid that Mr. Xie will be in trouble. After all, you are the one who eats the emperor's salary and is loyal to the emperor. On the one hand, you have to deal with the Qi people, and on the other hand, the whole family is a warrior who resists Qi. What are your family members doing in private? Can you turn a blind eye for the time being? With one eye closed, there is no guarantee that one day he will be forced to betray someone... Wasn't it Master Queshan who took the initiative to reveal to Master Wanyan that Fu Diji brought the imperial edict? You relied on this in Qi People have a good reputation in front of them, but Bingzhusi was roasted on the fire because of it."
Bang - Mrs. Gantang's hand shook, and the porcelain cup in her hand hit the ground, as if the whole hall was booing.
Nan Yi also looked at Xie Queshan in disbelief - how could he do such a thing? Isn't this pushing Ling Fu Diji into the fire pit? At the previous New Year's banquet, he clearly helped Di Ji.
She could understand that he had his own priorities and sometimes had to pretend to be indifferent, but she always felt that he would not do anything that would really hurt others.
"Really?" She stared at him, trying to see a trace of denial on his face.
Don't admit it, don't admit it... She was praying in her heart.
"Yes." Xie Queshan said one word lightly.
The trap he laid for Zhang Yuehui, Zhang Yuehui calmly swallowed it and used his trap to defeat him. At this moment, he had to swallow it all.
The fists in his sleeves were clenched, but his face was extremely indifferent. Finally, he spoke slowly and said calmly: "Since Boss Zhang has said everything, it would be unwise for me to stop him. Nan Yi can make his own decision."
Xie Queshan stood up and stepped over the mess of cups and plates on the ground. When he came to Nan Yi's side, he looked up and saw the dazzling and bright red outside the door, and paused again.
He wished he could burn all that person's sincerity with a fire, but he sadly found that he couldn't even give her these.
He couldn't refute Zhang Yuehui's words. Being in the Xie family or by his side was by no means a safe place. In order to gain Qi Ren's trust and to help his secret comrades, he had to put the people around him in dangerous positions and then save them. But with Nan Yi, he had gambled once and narrowly escaped death. He had a weakness and no longer dared to gamble. He knew he had to send her away.
Zhang Yuehui is a capable and selfish person. Only such a person can stand firm and live well in troubled times.
He has already decided to let her go. It will be a matter of time before she marries someone else. What does he care about? His fists in his sleeves suddenly unclenched, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said beside her: "Boss Zhang is not necessarily a good man."
But he didn't want to hear her verdict, so after saying that, he walked out with expressionless expression.
Mrs. Gantang put her trembling hands into her sleeves, her face was drained of blood, and her tone sounded like frost: "Boss Zhang is right, the Xie family is not a good place."
She looked at Nan Yi with compassion in her eyes: "Nanyi, it doesn't matter if you are a famous family. In troubled times, you will be overturned. I can't protect you for a long time. I also hope that you can find a good place to settle down."
"Is the only good place to be under the protection of a man? I don't believe it, I won't marry." Nan Yi gritted his teeth and retorted stubbornly.
Xie Queshan, who had just stepped out of the threshold, paused and looked back.
"Zhang Yuehui, how you want to deal with your property and who you want to help are all your wishes. Return Hall has nothing to do with me in the first place. I will not covet things that do not belong to me."
The light in Zhang Yuehui's eyes dimmed a bit, but he still smiled at her: "It doesn't matter, you can think about it again, there is no need to make a decision in a hurry."
Looking at Zhang Yuehui's soft eyes at this moment, Nan Yi couldn't say any more words. She left as if running away.
Her answer was beyond Xie Queshan's expectation. A trace of joy emerged from the bottom of her heart, but it was overshadowed by even greater uneasiness. He couldn't move any longer and watched her come out. His eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look at her, but when she passed him, she actually raised her head and glared at him fiercely.
……
There was nothing airtight in the house. A wealthy businessman came to ask for a wife from Wangxuewu. This strange thing soon spread in Wangxuewu.
If this continues, Nan Yi will only become more and more conspicuous. She had to leave as soon as possible.
The next day, Xie Queshan went to deliver a few words to his second sister. Mrs. Gantang invited Song Muchuan over.
The prodigal Zhang Yue couldn't take her away with him, so the harmless Song Muchuan could, right? This kid is full of propriety, justice and shame. He doesn't dare to think of anything else, and he won't put pressure on Nan Yi. They worked very well together in Bingzhusi, so I guess they already had a tacit understanding.
When making these decisions, Xie Queshan was not relaxed at all and felt sour. He felt so useless. He couldn't control the direction of every detail. When a little bit of loss of control came, especially if it happened to Nan Yi, the pain would be magnified thousands of times and gnaw at his heart.
He has reached a certain breaking point. If he doesn't solve it, he will go crazy first.
But even if Song Muchuan came, Nan Yi still gave the same answer.
"I do not go."
Song Muchuan was a little strange. He thought it was just an accident that Nan Yi looked back at Xuewu.
"Why?"
Nan Yi was silent for a long time, seeming to be thinking.
Song Muchuan was not in a hurry to force her, and told her some things that had happened in the past two days.
Ling Fu Diji has been settled, so there is no need to worry.
Because Wanyan Jun neglected his duties regarding the edict, Black Crow Camp had the right to kill him first and report later, so he was placed under house arrest in the mansion, waiting for the royal court's decision. Usha now has sole power, and his style is iron-blooded suppression. The situation outside is getting more and more serious.
But coincidentally, just yesterday, Han Xianwang's secret letter arrived at Lidu Mansion, mentioning the edict. Fortunately, they took action earlier.
Hearing this, Nan Yi frowned and asked: "In other words, Qi Ren will know sooner or later that there is an imperial edict on Emperor Ji?"
"yes."
An idea arose in Nan Yi's mind, but she was still a little unsure. Maybe sometimes, it's not a bad thing to alert the enemy?
She looked up at Song Muchuan and said seriously: "Mr. Song, Xie Queshan is well-informed. If I stay in Wangxuewu, I can get some information from him, which will definitely be helpful to Bingzhusi's actions."
Song Muchuan was stunned.
"This is a fire pit!"
"I want to jump." Nan Yi replied firmly.
……
After Song Muchuan left, Nan Yi sat in the garden for a long time before the inexplicable boiling in her body calmed down. She knew that she had made an extremely risky and impulsive decision, and she didn't even know whether it was right or wrong.
There were millions of reasons for her to leave, but she was held back by an almost unreasonable reason.
When it got dark, she returned to her little pavilion. As soon as he opened the door, he was pulled in by an inexplicable force.
The man slammed the door with his backhand, grabbed her neck and pushed her against the carved door.
She let out a cry of pain and met Xie Queshan's angry eyes.
"Why don't you leave?!"
