Chapter 12 Living Together
At this time, Wang Yan had changed into a set of sky-blue brocade robes with fine silver patterns. He had a jade belt around his waist and his long hair was not crowned. Facing everyone's gaze, he walked towards the girl on the bed, took her hand and lifted her sleeves very rudely.
Xie Fengyue blushed with embarrassment: "Young gentleman is rude!" She tried hard to retract her arm.
Wang Yan pointed to the bruises on her arms, looked at Xie Fengrou and asked, "What's the explanation for this?"
"I was forced to do this out of desperation. In such a life-and-death situation, I made an unintentional mistake." Xie Fengrou explained anxiously.
After Wang Yan put down Xie Fengyue's arm, he bowed and saluted: "I'm sorry." Then he turned to Xie Fengrou and said, "It doesn't matter who of you pushed who into the water, but it doesn't matter that you killed your sister when you were in the pool. If you don’t leave a way for people to survive, they will be punished by family law.”
Wang Yan clasped his hands and saluted in the distance: "My husband's words and deeds can be fulfilled, and he can be trusted to the best of his ability. To praise his beauty and guide others is the most virtuous thing. To show his kinship by making a name for himself is to be filial to him. Brothers are happy, and their clan is happy, and they are full of fraternity. To bring wealth. There is nothing more than giving in. These five are the foundation of success.”
"This is the family motto of my Langya Wang family. Presumably Brother Jinhuan's family motto also includes the line "brothers, friends and brothers are respectful", right? He asked Xie Jin seriously, and to show his closeness, he called his cousin.
Xie Jin lowered his head to think, and when he raised his eyes again, his previous conciliatory thoughts were no longer there: "Go to the ancestral hall to receive twenty precepts."
In the Xie family's family law, the son used a stick and the girl used a ruler. Both were specially made. The execution ruler was more than two inches long, and it was smeared with special oil. The palm of the hand would be swollen for several days after being smeared with two rulers. The skin and flesh of the feet have been torn apart.
If you want to ask how Xie Fengyue knew, it was of course thanks to Xie Fengyu. When she first entered the Xie Mansion, she found an excuse to complain, and Mrs. Several months later, she still has scars on her palms.
Xie Fengrou on the side must also know the power of the Xie family's ruler. The weakness she pretended before was suddenly frightened away. She shouted loudly: "Why doesn't she get beaten?"
Xie Fengyue almost laughed out loud. Pretending to be weak is not something that can be accomplished overnight. How come you can't control your anger and lose your strength so easily?
Xie Fengyue decided to set an example for her. Seeing her sudden change of expression and fear, she turned to look at Xie Jin with her lips trembling: "Twenty Jie Chi...Brother, I'm fine now. Sister Rou didn't do it on purpose. Twenty Jie Chi..." Too many!”
This sentence seemed to wake up Xie Fengrou, and she slumped down on the ground: "Brother, do you know what my hands will look like when twenty ring feet are used?"
Xie Fengyue seemed to have not heard her words, and gently tugged on Xie Jin's clothes: "I don't want my brother to be criticized harshly for me." She looked sincerely, and looked at Xie Jin with eyes full of heartache.
Xie Jin sighed: "You are so kind-hearted that you were bullied into losing your temper. If Yizhi and I hadn't returned home temporarily today, you might have been killed in the lotus pond."
Xie Fengyue's eyes were timid, but her expression was resolute: "Sister Rou is still young, so brother, please give me a small punishment but a big warning."
Xie Fengrou didn't understand why she had settled the matter with just a few words of pleading. It was because she was willful and wanted to kill her. On the contrary, she cared about her sisterly feelings and showed her dignity.
Xie Jin took another long breath before speaking to Xie Fengrou: "Today it is your sister who is interceding for you and thinking of your youth. You can go to the ancestral hall to receive the Ten Commandments Ruler."
Xie Fengrou wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Xie Jin's glance.
With tears in her eyes, she said aggrievedly: "Rou'er knows."
"Sister Rou, she also has a high fever. Let's wait until she recovers." Xie Fengyue fully implemented the role of confidant sister.
Xie Jin said helplessly and with a distressed tone: "You are the only one who can be so kind." He turned to Xie Fengrou and said sternly: "If you had learned half the lesson of Yue'er, you wouldn't have done such an evil thing."
Xie Fengrouqi's heart, liver, spleen and stomach ached, and she couldn't bear the humiliation and fainted. There was another commotion, and Xie Fengyue watched coldly as if she was outside the world.
Feeling a blazing gaze coming towards him, Xie Fengyue followed her gaze and met Wang Yan's eyes.
She curled her lips into a smile, and her cold eyes and red face carried a strange sense of beauty, which shocked Wang Yan so much that he didn't recover for a long time.
When Xie Fengyu returned home, after listening to Xie Fengrou's girls' reports of anger, one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born. But everything has been settled. She can't refute Dalangjun's order in front of the Xie family's servants, but she also wants to fight for Xie Fengrou.
She hurriedly wanted to vent her anger on Xie Fengyue in Hebo Pavilion, but she was stopped by the nanny beside her: "Girl, calm down, she is still in Wang's courtyard now, do you still remember what Wang's husband is here for? ”
Xie Fengyu calmed down instantly after being mentioned by the nanny, patted his chest and said: "Fortunately, my mother pointed out the nanny to me."
Mammy smiled and said nothing, but looked meaningfully at the girl who came to report - Xie Fengrou's personal girl. She felt that Xie Fengrou was using her daughter as a sword.
Xie Fengyue in the Aibo Pavilion didn't know that she was about to be cut by a knife again. She obediently listened to the doctor's instructions.
"Girl, the injury has not healed and now you have been soaked in ice water for so long. You really don't want to see any wind, otherwise you will have a high fever." The doctor said seriously, twirling his gray beard.
After hearing this, Huarui said with some embarrassment: "But this is Gongzi Yan's yard."
Zhezhi pouted: "There are seven or eight rooms in Gongzi Yan's courtyard. We can't disturb him even if we just stay in a corner."
Xie Fengyue coughed lightly and apologized to Wang Yan: "Don't blame me, sir. I am a girl who is used to talking nonsense. I will go back to Jinyuan immediately."
Lang Jun, who was sitting in front of the window with a book in one hand, didn't even raise his head: "It's okay, it's better to be cautious about the girl's health. Let's go back to Jinyuan when the girl's health is better."
In today's world, the defense of men and women is almost non-existent for children of aristocratic families. Some aristocratic families look down upon their girls getting married for a second time, let alone living together in such a large courtyard.
Although Xie Fengyue is not in this favored group, she can live in this courtyard upright and enjoy the convenience of the moon when walking near the water tower. Why not do it?
Xie Fengyue smiled gratefully: "Thank you so much, Mr. Lang."
Hearing this, Wang Yan put down the book in his hand and looked up at her with playful eyes: "It's easier for me to study the paintings if I'm closer, and I can also embroider the thank-you gift."
Xie Fengyue didn't know why this husband was so angry. He had agreed to let her stay here just now, but the next second his words were thorny.
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure out the reason. In the end, it came down to Wang Yan being a hypocrite.
Wang Yan thought simply. People like her who were related to the Tang family paper case must be kept under their noses to feel at ease.
