C79 (1/2)

Wen Jiu could not help but feel his heart ache when he saw the wine spill out.

Only after a long while did she raise her eyes and look at Xie Xuan, ”What did Third Brother just say?”

Xie Xuan frowned, and downed the entire bowl of wine.

In the end, he choked on his wine in too much of a hurry. His handsome face was flushed red from coughing, and his wine bowl fell out of his hands.

Wen Jiu was shocked, she immediately grabbed the wine bowl and patted on the shoulder of the teenager, ”Third Brother, Third Brother, are you alright?”

Xie Xuan pushed her away and turned his head, holding onto the pillar, he forced himself to cough, his entire face was still flushed red.

Wen Jiu forced himself not to laugh, ”It's my bad, I shouldn't have brought Third Brother such a big bowl of wine! Next time I'm sure to change it... Third Brother, don't force yourself to hold on.

She didn't mean to laugh.

It was just that he had been used to Chief Xie's tactics in his previous life, and now that he saw the young man's appearance, he couldn't help but feel slightly different.

”You … ”Cough …”

Xie Xuan probably wanted to scold her, but when she opened her lips, she could not help but start coughing.

”Alright, alright!”

Wen Jiu covered his ears and turned his head away, ”If I'm like this I won't be able to hear you, don't worry and cough, I won't look at you either.”

She seemed to have already felt this youth's mind.

The future Chief Minister was a person who valued face. She would rather suffer her own body than lose her composure in front of others.

Wen Jiu turned to look elsewhere and faintly heard the youth's suppressed cough.

He couldn't help but think, ”Why do you need to live with your face so badly?”

Before she could console the Third Young Master, someone squeezed out from the crowd and directly walked towards Wen Jiu, and bowed: ”Greetings to the Young Madame. My Madam Hou has been waiting for some time to ask around, are you free to go to Marquis Yongchang Mansion? ”

Wen Jiu's face stiffened, and could not help but turn to look at Xie Xuan.

The young man had gradually calmed down, but his face was still blushing red. Seeing Wen Jiu looking at him, he could not help but frown, ”Why are you looking at me like that?”

”Oh.” Wen Jiu turned and said to the manager of the Marquis Yongchang Palace: ”I'm still busy right now, I'll definitely pay a visit to the Hou Mansion later, later.”

”Then we won't disturb the Young Madame, you must remember to come.”

The number of people in front of the tavern was outrageous. The people from the Marquis Yongchang Palace did not stay for long, and replied after a few words.

Wen Jiu's heart rose to his throat.

She didn't have the time to talk to Xie Heng about this matter, so trouble had come knocking on her door.

His gaze involuntarily landed on Xie Xuan's face, upon sensing it, the youth's expression froze, and turned around and walked towards the door.

Wen Jiu stepped through the doorstep ahead of him and just happened to be standing right in front of him, ”Third Brother, look, you've drank this wine too, no … Give me an idea first? ”

”Wen Jiu.”

Xie Xuan's voice was light, no emotions could be discerned.

She replied very obediently, ”I'm here, Third Brother.”

Xie Xuan said: ”Your face now, is truly …”

”Very, very ugly, I know.”

Wen Jiu immediately spoke out to help him reconnect the connection. In any case, Xie Xuan had scolded her quite a few times in his previous life, so it was much more unpleasant to listen to than it was now.

Right now, she could be considered neither painful nor itchy. After she finished speaking, she continued to ask him: ”Does Third Brother have any way to solve this problem?”

Xie Xuan went silent for a moment, ”It's not that there's none.”

Wen Jiu's eyes lit up, ”Please speak, Third Brother.”

Xie Xuan said: ”Go to Marquis Yongchang Palace and push this matter aside.”

”I've thought about this as well …” But to return to the Marquis Yongchang Palace to recuperate, I am afraid … ”

Wen Jiu was a little hesitant, the Marquis Yongchang Palace was a place with a lot of money and power, and the person who held the ceremony today was the most favoured young miss.

If she didn't get beaten to death, she would at least be crippled.

His life was in danger.

”Who told you to return the invitation?”
