When Xie Queshan and Song Muchuan rushed to the neighborhood, the fight between Xie Sui'an and the woman had ended.
The woman opposite her face was scratched, her bun was torn, and her fine clothes were scratched. Looking at Xie Sui'an, she also had a bruised nose and a swollen face, but she wasn't much better.
Speaking of which, the daughter of Xin Jun's close guard and raised by a wealthy family actually got into a fight with a woman on the street. She was still stunned because she didn't use martial arts to bully people. She used her hands and knees to fight with people and slap them in the face. I didn't know whether to call her a gentleman or a villain.
The woman obviously didn't take any advantage. Although she was pulled away, she still pointed at Xie Sui'an's nose and cursed: "I wonder who will dare to marry a shrew like you in the future! It's like a mother-in-law but not a mother-in-law!"
"Does it have anything to do with you? I'm not marrying into your family! Keep your mouth shut! If I hear you talking nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Xie Sui'an was like a firecracker that was lit at this moment. She would explode if anyone touched her.
The female envoy who followed dragged Xie Sui'an away, and the two of them bumped into Xie Queshan. Song Muchuan was acting as a good gentleman in the background, using his best method to coax the women to settle down.
Xie Sui'an glanced at Xie Queshan, and his arrogance suddenly weakened, but he still ignored him and left in a pretentious manner.
"What's going on?" Xie Queshan asked the envoy in a low voice.
It turned out that after Xie Sui'an and Mrs. Gantang broke up on bad terms, they ran to the street to relax and heard some garrulous women talking about Xie Queshan.
The people only thought that he was still a traitor, and all the Qi soldiers were wiped out. But when they heard that he was still alive and well, they scolded him harshly.
"...I think that kind of person should be quartered and executed in Lingchi to relieve his anger!"
As a result, Xie Sui'an went crazy and couldn't stop him. He rushed forward and tried to argue with others.
"What kind of person is he? Have you seen him? What do you know! Just talking nonsense here, you have a bad reputation!"
"How come I don't know! Isn't he a notorious traitor? He has betrayed so many soldiers, and he still has the honor to live? Who are you? If you speak for him, aren't you his lover?!"
"Keep your mouth clean for me!"
Then they started to quarrel, and after a few disagreements they got into a fight in the street.
Everyone in Xie Queshan was dumbfounded.
Xie Xiaoliu ignored him and didn't give him a good look. He thought that she was like those people and hoped that he would die soon.
The only thing he didn't expect was that she would actually start a fight with someone on the street because of his trivial reputation, which was clumsy and funny.
Song Muchuan saw Xie Queshan stunned and pushed him.
"Why don't you go coax Xiao Liu."
Xie Queshan hurriedly followed Xie Xiaoliu. Although she had walked forward a long time ago, she walked slowly and awkwardly.
Xie Queshan didn't know what to say and followed her with shrinking steps. Leng Buding reached out his hand and pressed her head angrily and emotionally.
Xie Sui'an suddenly became furious again, turned his head angrily and glared at Xie Queshan.
"Don't think I forgive you! It's hard for me to coax you!"
The fierce tone was followed by a muffled cry.
"Whoever wants to coax you, don't be sentimental." Xie Queshan smiled.
……
The two brothers and sisters returned home, and the banquet in the dining room was already prepared.
Xie Jun and Mrs. Xie are both here. It's been a long time since everyone in the family has been together.
The banquet was served with eight delicacies, and it was steaming hot.
The figure is like standing in the fog, everyone is blurry, only the noise coming from all directions in the west.
"Oh, my aunt, how did you end up covered in mud and still act like a girl?"
"Auntie, Sixth Girl must have gone out to fight with someone. You can't beat her now, so just save yourself the effort."
"That's it - I'm going to sit here with braised pork elbow. I haven't had a good meal for months. The days of fasting and chanting Buddha's name are really not what people live."
"Xiao Liu, don't be rude to Buddha."
Xie Sui'an stuck out his tongue and slid over to sit next to Nan Yi.
"Xie San, sit down too."
"Chao En, come." Xie Jun waved to Xie Queshan.
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Xie Queshan, who was still standing cautiously.
Xie Queshan fell into a trance, what night is it? The fog was dispersing, and he saw Nan Yi's face through the crowd. She was sitting distantly.
She was the only guest in the room, but she looked at him with an intense look.
It is a gaze that loves someone without reservation, like a clear and warm spring water, moisturizing and wrapping him silently.
This look gave him great courage. He was a person worthy of being loved.
Stop running away, stop pretending, this is his home.
Only then did he realize that everyone was looking at him with warm eyes. He just felt strange for a moment, but the smile on his face soon became extremely natural, and those memories deep in his bones were awakened again, boiling. In every corner of his body.
There may have been a lot of grudges in the past that are still hard to get rid of when you think about them, but tonight, you can forget them all for the time being.
He walked slowly over and sat down.
The table became lively again, full of laughter and laughter.
Xie Jun has been abstaining from drinking for many years, but tonight he also broke his abstinence and drank several drinks in a row. He probably wanted to say something to Xie Queshan, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't hold back his face. After all, he was still a stubborn person who had never been subdued.
Xie Queshan took the initiative to pick up the wine glass: "Father, I will drink with you."
Xie Jun was surprised and clinked glasses with him with some fear.
Still not knowing what to say, he just raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.
Putting down the cup, he saw that the bowl was already filled with the vegetables everyone brought him.
Although it was slightly deliberate, more like a confession, everyone tried to convey it in a calm way.
"Sister-in-law, why are you crying?" Xie Sui'an suddenly exclaimed, and everyone noticed that Nan Yi had buried his face in the bowl at some point, as if concentrating on eating, but his shoulders were shaking violently.
When she saw Xie Queshan sitting happily among her family, surrounded by her family, she couldn't help but shed tears.
There is no pretentious drama that ignores past grudges, and there is no tears of forgiveness. When they sit together, they are family.
Nan Yi felt heartbroken for the hardships he had suffered in the past, and was also sincerely happy for the human fireworks he had now.
He was finally rewarded and it was the best thing in the world.
She knew it was embarrassing to cry at the dinner table, but she couldn't help it, thinking that no one would notice her, but Xie Xiaoliu suddenly shouted out.
She had to raise her head from the bowl, trying to forcefully argue that she wasn't crying, but her emotions were revealed as soon as she started crying.
The harder she endured, the harder she cried. She could only hold Xiaoliu's hand in tears and said: "I'm sad... You went out to have a fight and what should you do if you got scars on your face... Isn't that disfigurement... You are so young, you cannot be disfigured..."
She just burst into tears.
Xie Queshan choked on a mouthful of water, covered his mouth and coughed violently.
Xie Xiaoliu was stunned, moved and guilty at the same time, and explained stumblingly: "I...I'm fine. It's a minor injury. It'll be fine in a few days."
Nan Yi sobbed and nodded, wiped away her tears and said, "I lost my temper... I'll go back to my room to tidy up, I'm sorry."
As she said that, she was about to leave. Before leaving, she quickly cleaned the rice in the bowl, and then quickly fled the scene in front of everyone's surprised eyes.
He didn't even dare to look at Xie Queshan.
……
Escaped to the garden, Nan Yi poured cold water on his face by the water. Looking at her face reflected in the water, she felt extremely funny.
Why did you cry in front of so many people?
With all these elders here, no one will notice anything strange, right?
Although she is no longer Xie's wife, it would be embarrassing if people really knew about the affair between her and Xie Queshan.
But when she thought of Xie Queshan, she couldn't help but burst into tears and cried with joy.
He was able to see the light of day in the abyss, and she was happier than anyone else. Because he was an out-and-out bad guy who lured her into his life and dragged her into a muddy swamp. His shadow always shrouds her, and only when he becomes brighter can she usher in true perfection.
And what is good now will definitely be better in the future.
Nan Yi finally calmed down and wiped his face. Thinking that it would be impolite to leave the table early, he turned back to the front hall and walked back.
As soon as she turned the veranda, she was pulled over by a force. Someone hugged her in the dark, and the warmth was overwhelming.
Nan Yi stiffened and smelled a slight smell of alcohol. She was about to get drunk and melt into this embrace.
"I originally thought that I would never let you cry for me again. But seeing you cry tonight, I was actually a little happy." He whispered in her ear.
"Why are you so gloating about misfortune?" The voice was muffled in his arms, half joking, half coquettish.
He also laughed and didn't answer. He just held her tightly, as if he could live forever in this way.
It took so long that Nan Yi became a little nervous, so she tugged on his sleeve guiltily.
"Xie Queshan, there are people coming and going here, don't let anyone see you."
“You’ll see it when you see it.”
Nan Yi was startled: "Are you crazy?"
"You do not want it?"
Nan Yi was slightly stunned, feeling that there was something in his words. What do you want? This sentence seems to have many meanings.
Although he was escaping in his heart, Xie Queshan still told her: "Zhang Yue has left."
These words seemed to weigh so much that Nan Yi could hardly breathe. She didn't even dare to look up at him, with complicated thoughts in her mind. Zhang Yue left, what about the exchange of terms between them? Does he still want her to fulfill it? ... Or rather, he let go silently, everything was cancelled, and she regained her freedom. But he clearly didn't say anything, how could she take it so naturally? It's so despicable of her to cut her head.
But Xie Queshan did not give her any room for silence. He gently touched the corner of her jaw with his palm, his eyes lingering on her face longingly.
"Come to me and I won't let you go again."
Under the sparse moonlight, Nan Yi looked up in surprise, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
How could it be... was he keeping her?
He had never spoken with such certainty. In the past, every time they got close, every time they were intimate, it was the helplessness after restraint, the instinct of the body, and the secret love without tomorrow.
But the turbulence in his eyes at this moment clearly contained undisguised ardent desire, which was a promise for the future.
He wanted to fight for himself once.
Being alive is a great gift. Whether selfish or treacherous, he wants to be this villain, he wants to hold on to this warmth.
Once you get these things, even for a moment, you don't want to go back to the cold again.
She was on the verge of tears and held his hand tremblingly. She wanted to use all her touch to feel the reality of the moment. Even though there was a huge confusion in their hearts, how should they face the Xie family and Zhang Yuehui when they were together like this? The problems were still unresolved, but in this moment of looking at each other, it seemed to be solved.
"We won't be separated, right?" She just wanted to confirm something more nihilistic.
"No." He replied firmly.
