C101 (1/2)

Xie Jingxi had not seen Fang Ziqing for a long time, and every time she saw him, she would feel slightly awkward. Although the two of them had befriended each other, they still felt uncomfortable.

Fang Ziqing opened his mouth first, ”Looks like your life is not bad.”

Xie Jingxi smiled, ”Mn, luckily, you're still the same as always.”

Fang Ziqing laughed self-deprecatingly, ”You are indeed the same as always. Since Ye Qing married and gave you trouble, you will have to bear a lot of burden from now on.”

I didn't expect her to marry into my family, not that I'm giving her any trouble, but I have to remind you, her life is not up to me to be good or bad, it still depends on her. Of course, I'll do my best to help her when I can.

Fang Ziqing knew that she had good intentions, and there was gratitude in his words, ”I will stop mentioning the old matters, but as her brother, I am still very grateful to you for not taking into account the past. This is a day that she has chosen, and it must be her own doing, whether it is good or bad, I cannot blame anyone else.”

Xie Jingxi was surprised in her heart, she had always wanted to ask why Fang Ziqing would agree to Fang Wanqing's marriage, so it turned out that she respected her own choice. Since it was Fang Wanqing herself who had made the decision, then there was really nothing much to say.

After being busy until the afternoon, there were basically no major events, and when Aunt Fang brought him to the Second Court, there would not be any ruckus. However, Gu Heng still did not show himself, and Xie Jingxi believed that it was not because of Fang Wanqing, but rather, there was really something going on. Gu Heng should have known about it, but if she suddenly stayed in Gu Heng's room that night, could it be that Gu Heng was the real Gu Heng? Could it be that Gu Heng was secretly involved with the crown prince?

What about the fact that the Marquis knew about it, and what about the fact that the His Majesty was aware of it? And there was a title of Prince Yin of the Marquis Anfeng Palace added into the muddy water, the moment the His Majesty sensed any clues, he would probably be done for. Or maybe the Marquis was not even of the same mind as Gu Heng? The father and son duo had their own plans, what were they up to?

After dinner, Xie Jingxi was afraid that Lady Zeng would complain again, so she went over to the front yard to take a look. Lady Zeng was indeed unhappy, Gu Heng still hadn't come back yet, do you remember that he had to marry an aunt today?

”I really am going to be angered to death by him.” Lady Zeng rubbed her forehead, ”What is he trying to do, he can't possibly stay hidden forever, right?”

”Mother, don't think about that for now. Since I've agreed to let Miss Fang in, I won't stay cold. Maybe I really do have business with her, since I've already entered. It doesn't matter whether it's a day or two earlier or later.”

”Can't we just drag this on for a day? He really doesn't give us any face at all. How can we tell Miss Fang what to do?”

Xie Jingxi sighed, right now, no one could care so much about how an aunt should act. Lady Zeng was her son's husband's first wife, and she couldn't even figure it out clearly from the bottom of her heart, so she really didn't know what to say.

When he came out, he looked at the sky and couldn't help but sigh. It was already so late, Gu Heng still had not returned, so she invited Senior Servant Liu to the second room to take a look, and said that Second Young Mistress had already fallen asleep, and the lights in the Aunt Fang's room had also turned off. Only then did Xie Jingxi relax, and did she not cause any trouble.

Xie Jingxi walked alone in the courtyard. Because she was familiar with the road, there were no burning lights, and their courtyard was at the innermost part of the Marquis Mansion, as he would walk past the flower garden. At this time, there were practically no people there, and she could clearly hear the footsteps of almost no one.

Suddenly, a strong force suddenly came from her arm. Xie Jingxi first smelled a dense smell of alcohol, and then, while she was still immersed in why this person's smell was so familiar with it, she was subconsciously dragged to the back of the fake mountain rocks in the courtyard.

”Gu Heng, you …”

Xie Jingxi did not expect it to be him, I wonder if anyone saw it, thinking how could he be so reckless, ”There is someone in the courtyard, what words do you have to say?”

”Xi.” The stench of alcohol on Gu Heng's body was thick, and it was unknown if he was awake or not, but these two words clearly conveyed the profoundness of his words.

Xie Jingxi didn't know what to say, because she understood the depression and desire in her words. She was begging her, begging her to give him a chance to speak, she never knew that Gu Heng would one day yearn for one thing, but she still couldn't be merciful.

”Gu Heng, listen to me, this is not the place to talk. What happened?

However, his current state was obviously not one where he needed to say anything, instead, he wanted to vent. Xie Jingxi was afraid that if someone were to suddenly pass by outside, she would have to listen carefully.
