Chapter 59
He strained his ears to listen to what was going on next door, and tapped the table with a few items in his hand, looking like he was going to finish it off today.
Xie Fengyu's throat was filled with smoke. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the matter between Xie Fengyue and Gongzi Yan couldn't be caught by him. She simply stood up and said: "Young Master An, you can stay here as long as you want. I have to go back early." I’m having dinner with my father at home, so I won’t spend it here with you.”
Gongzi An stopped and looked at her like an actor, "What's wrong with Miss Yu? Isn't this just what you wanted?"
Xie Fengyu's face turned red and he defended: "What do I wish for? You really like to speculate on people. If you want to see my sister Yue, you can't do it until you return home. What's more, she's not here now. You won't be able to wait until Baozhuang Pavilion closes." Can’t wait for her.”
"Oh? Really?" he asked.
Xie Fengyu couldn't bear to lose face, so he flicked his sleeves and the jade pendant around his waist made a crackling sound: "I'm leaving. Just wait if you want."
Young Master An stood up slowly with a sneer on his face, "How can you let Miss Yu go back home alone? Doesn't this seem like you have no gentlemanly integrity?"
Xie Fengyu clenched her hands hidden under her sleeves, and secretly resented in her heart, "It's all Xie Fengyue's fault for causing such a mess, and she has to suffer such ridicule."
The night has fallen, the shouting has become less and less, and the vendors on the street have begun to close their stalls one after another.
Zhe Zhi leaned against the window energetically and stared intently at the two carriages that took away the Xie family emblem. When she saw the bells shaking and Xie Fengyu being helped into the carriage, she was excited and exclaimed: "Girl! Gone, gone, really gone this time.”
Xie Fengyue was lying at the desk with a languid look on her face. She didn’t even raise her head after hearing these words. “If we really leave, it’s still a girl who has to go get something.”
Zhezhi stood out from the window for a long time excitedly, "I'm really leaving this time!"
Upon seeing this, Gongzi Yan hurriedly stopped him, "Don't let Gongzi An see you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhi Zhi shrank back with an embarrassed look on his face, and he opened and closed his lips and forced out "He seems to have seen me."
Xie Fengyue then raised her head and looked at Zhe Zhi's guilty look and was speechless for a long time.
Gongzi Yan held the fan handle and asked again: "Are you sure?"
"The man in purple is still smiling at me." She said in a low voice and lowered her head.
Xie Fengyue let out a long sigh: "It's okay, it's okay, he might not be able to see clearly when it's dark."
Gongzi Yan looked grave and said to Xie Fengyue very seriously, "Let Zhe Zhi and Huan Xue enter the Wu Palace together."
Xie Fengyue frowned and refuted directly without thinking, "Impossible!"
Zhe Zhi bit her lip and said nothing. She did not expect that just a glance would have such consequences.
The room fell silent for a moment.
"If I go with Huanxue, won't it affect the girl?" Zhezhi said cowardly, breaking the deathly silence.
Xie Fengyue sat up straight and looked calm, "You are not allowed to think wildly, it is just a look from Young Master An. Who said that a girl who is close to you will definitely be a dowry."
"Then can you find any examples of girls in Qian'an not doing so?" Gongzi Yan asked.
"I" Xie Fengyue was speechless for a moment.
She turned to look at Zhe Zhi and said, "You are not allowed to do stupid things!"
Zhe Zhi lowered his head and looked at his toes, clenching his fists tightly and even his body was trembling slightly.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Xie Fengyue was woken up by a broken branch. "Girl, the Xie Mansion has sent someone to deliver a message, asking you to go back early."
Seeing that her eyes were red and she obviously hadn't slept all night, Xie Fengyue stood up and took the handkerchief she handed her and said softly, "You don't have to go back with me today, just stay here in the yard." Zhezhi replied softly, "Girl How can you do it without me by your side?”
Xie Fengyue stopped wiping her face and looked at her seriously, "I have been with you for more than ten years. I can't do it without you, so you must be in this yard these days, do you understand?"
She squeezed Zhe Zhi's hand and waited for her reply.
Zhe Zhi couldn't break free for a while, and broke out into a smile that was uglier than crying, "I know, girl, get up quickly, the messenger is still waiting outside."
Xie Fengyue didn't know whether she really listened or pretended to listen. The maid outside the door came again with an urging voice. She really didn't have time to reason with Zhe Zhi for the time being.
She freshened up a little and returned to Xie's Mansion while the sky was white.
Hua Rui had been waiting for her at the small door for a long time. As soon as she saw the carriage stopped, she ran over with her eyes full of heartache. "The girl has lost weight."
Xie Fengyue didn't know how to face this girl for a moment, and said with a stiff expression: "It's still too cold in the morning, let's go back to the yard first."
Huarui looked behind her, her voice choked with sobs, "Is Sister Zhezhi gone?"
She actually thought very simply. Zhe Zhi and the girl went out together, but they did not come back together. She had some real understanding of the world outside, so she mistakenly thought that Zhe Zhi died outside in an accident.
Xie Fengyue couldn't understand what she said, but she also disliked it 100%. She frowned and said, "What unlucky words did you say so early in the morning?"
After hearing this, she understood and then smiled, "Bah, bah, bah, my mouth is really annoying."
After Xie Fengyue waved towards Gongzi Yan's carriage, she followed Hua Rui into the house.
She walked towards Jinyuan on her own, but was stopped by Huarui, "The girl's current courtyard is in Rufengyuan. You have to go this way." She pointed to the other side of the fork in the road.
A smile appeared on Xie Fengyue's lips, "This is a good job at saving face."
The more she walked into Xie's mansion, the more she secretly praised it. Not only were the houses decorated with lights, but even the trees with young leaves were covered with bright red ribbons, looking beaming with joy.
After entering Rufeng Courtyard, Xie Fengyue took a cup of tea before crossing the peach forest and seeing the house. I had heard others say that Rufeng Courtyard was very big, but this time I actually felt it when I walked down.
From a distance, she saw dozens of maids and servants standing in the house. When she got closer, they suddenly shouted greetings and knelt down, which startled Xie Fengyue. She stroked her chest and asked Huarui in a low voice, "What is this?" Isn’t it too much of a show?”
Hua Rui stood in front of her and said to the crowd, "Moon Girl Xi Jing, if nothing happens, don't show up in the main house. Go down and work. I'm here."
With an expressionless face, Xie Fengyue walked through the crowd and went straight into the main room in the style of a daughter of aristocratic family. As soon as the door closed, Huarui replied, "The head of the family said that he must let people in Wu Palace know that Miss Yue is a girl that the Xie family values extremely." , so the house started to decorate it a few days ago, and this style is definitely indispensable.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Didn't I let you go and do your own business? Why did you come to disturb the girl's rest again?" Hua Rui asked in confusion.
"We are the nuns sent by Madam to marry Moon Girl, and we are here to see her as a bride."
Xie Fengyue raised her eyebrows, "Marrying grandma? This is quite interesting."
After the four of them got the answer, they entered the main room one by one and went to Xie Fengyue to reply.
While Xie Fengyue looked at a few people, they were also secretly looking at their future master.
The first lady wearing a gray satin coat spoke first, "I am brought here by Madam's family. Miss Yue can just call me Aunt Qin. My Madam sees that Miss Yue is getting married far away and there are no useful manpower around her, so she sent her." I'm here to manage the dowry treasury for Miss Yue." There seemed to be arrogance on her face, and she didn't even look at Xie Fengyue when she said this.
