Chapter 716 Brother, Let's Make a Deal
Under the cherry blossom tree.
The spring breeze blew the cherry blossoms all over the sky. Xiao Zhenzhen came here first and waited. Sure enough, Zhou Yiqing came over after a while.
She looked at Zhou Yiqing, "You must not have had enough rest, right?"
Zhou Yiqing was about to deny it, but he had seen the bronze mirror before. He had dark bags under his eyes. The war was intense and no one had gotten enough rest.
Xie Yunchu, Xiao Chen and the others all wanted him to get a night's sleep before returning to Beijing to report on his work. "Yes."
"You will be going back tomorrow."
Her voice became a little lower, and she lowered her head to step on the petals that fell on the ground. No one knew what she was thinking, but she just felt uncomfortable.
"Ah."
Zhou Yiqing was reluctant to part with her, but he had no other choice.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Zhou Yiqing stretched out his hand, "Zhen'er."
Xiao Zhenzhen also looked around before putting her hand in his. The two held hands, but no one knew what they were saying.
They both had the same thought, which was that they didn't want to be separated.
In the corridor at the corner, two men in light-colored clothes looked at each other quietly for a long time.
Xie Yunchu looked at Xiao Chen with a slightly frivolous frown, and the two of them walked back and entered the guest room where Xie Yunchu lived.
The tea is gurgling.
The two of them each held a teacup and smelled the tea. Xie Yunchu then said, "Once Zhou Yiqing leaves tomorrow, Zhen'er will probably feel uncomfortable for a while."
"I'm sorry I don't quite understand." Xiao Chen put down the teacup, looked at Xie Yunchu and smiled faintly, "Can a man and a woman who don't know each other really be so inseparable? What kind of feeling is that?"
"Inseparable, just like the word, inseparable." Xie Yunchu smiled at Xiao Chen, "Have you ever heard of lovesickness? Have you ever heard of lovesickness?"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
Xie Yunchu took another sip of tea and laughed, "I think A-Yao, you feel like you can't control yourself, like something is pinching your heart, you feel depressed?"
"When I was young, I felt sad because I envied others for having parents around. Is that the feeling?"
“Maybe there are similarities, but compared with the love between parents, the deep longing is the most heartbreaking.”
Is it sadder than that feeling?
Xiao Chen laughed. He felt that it was a great thing that he didn't have the talent for love.
Seeing Xiao Chen's relieved look, Xie Yunchu thought of something irrelevant. "It is said that my father was not interested in women. Before he met my mother, he married four or five princesses. But my father said that those princesses were all spies, so they were all killed."
Xiao Chen listened quietly to see what he was going to say.
Xie Yunchu continued, "Everyone in the world said that my father was a living devil who never cared about women. With such a person, and the fact that my father had already been disfigured and had a broken leg, everyone thought that he would never get married in his lifetime, and would never have children."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I know all this. Zhen'er has said it eight hundred times." Master Ding, Yao'er has said it all.
"I know you know. What I want to say is that my father had no liking for women at that time, like you."
"I can't." Xiao Chen replied calmly.
Seeing Xiao Chen being so decisive, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for Aying in his heart. If this only "fate" was so stubborn.
It would be better for Aying to really marry Qing Changan. At least Qing Changan promised not to take a concubine in this life and to be good to Aying.
Xiao Chen ignored Xie Yunchu's direct gaze, but thought of Xie Ying, the beautiful girl. Her fate might really be somewhat related to his own, so he couldn't see clearly.
Thinking this, he told Xie Yunchu.
Xie Yunchu said: "Since you don't like Ah Ying, you shouldn't ask about her affairs. It has nothing to do with you."
"I just want to remind you that Qing Chang'an is destined to have a concubine's eldest son," he looked at Xie Yunchu, "and it seems to be different from what he promised to the Duke's Mansion."
"what?"
Xie Yunchu was startled and couldn't believe it. "How is it possible? I saw that Qing Changan was very attentive to Aying. Besides, even if Qing Changan had the guts, how could the Qing family be willing to let the eldest son be born first?"
Xiao Chen just started drinking the tea, "Who knows?"
"You, are you accurate in your calculations?" Xie Yunchu remained skeptical.
She held the teacup with her slender fingers and looked at it calmly, saying, "I don't know."
"Then you are talking nonsense."
"Then just treat it as my nonsense."
For the first time, Xie Yunchu felt that his brother was a little annoying, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes when he looked at him.
Xiao Chen sighed, "Don't look at me like that."
"These days, I thought that Big Brother also treated me as a family member, hehe..."
"You are naturally my family, brother-in-law."
"Brother, if you really treat me as a family member, why do you say half of the story and hide the other half? Also, Aying is my dearest sister. Brother, you have clearly figured out that Qing Changan may not be a good man, and this has something to do with you. How can you just sit there and watch the clouds rise?"
"Even if Ah Ying doesn't meet your eyes, she is still my biological sister. She has been very close to me and Ah Yao since she was young. For our sake, how can you just sit back and do nothing?"
Xie Yunchu became more and more angry as he spoke, and stood up, "Brother, you have been practicing Buddhism and Taoism for many years, but what you are practicing is not the Buddha nature, but the ruthless way."
Xiao Chen: “???”
"Yes, I'm sorry. I overstepped my authority. Big brother, blame me if you want to. My Ah Ying has such a hard life."
Xie Yunchu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and covered his chest. "If she really has this disaster, it is destined. It has nothing to do with big brother. It has nothing to do with big brother."
The look he gave Xiao Chen was somewhat ambiguous. Xiao Chen felt that he was saying that he was not practicing Buddhism at all, but was clearly practicing the path of ruthlessness, being merciless and unrighteous!
Xiao Chen also stood up and said, "We will leave for Beijing tomorrow, you should rest early."
Xie Yunchu nodded slightly.
It’s early in the morning, let him rest early, he is really a ruthless emperor brother!
Not only does he not care about Aying, he doesn't even care about Zhener's affairs?
Xiao Chen walked to the entrance and suddenly turned around, "Then Zhen'er——"
"Brother, please take care of Zhen'er's affairs." He frowned, looking as if his heart ached.
"it is good."
Xiao Chen turned away and when he turned around he saw Xie Yunchu walking towards him. He thought he was going to say something, but he just closed the door.
Xiao Chen: “…”
Does Yaoer know that Xie Yunchu treats his brother-in-law like this?
But, should he take care of Zhen'er's affairs?
Zhen'er is younger than Yao'er. If he doesn't care about her, seeing how reluctant she is, if it is really like what Xie Yunchu said, that lovesickness is very painful, then wouldn't Zhen'er be hurt by love?
It seems that he needs Xie Yunchu's help. He just raised his hand and the door suddenly opened. When he was shocked, Xie Yunchu said, "Brother, why don't we make a deal?"
"what?"
"Leave Zhen'er's matter to me, but A-Ying, perhaps only you can solve her problem."
"But what if——"
Xie Yunchu said confidently, "At least, you were the one who calculated Qing Changan's fortune, so you have to figure out what's going on!"
