C113 (2/2)
Wen Jiu suppressed the panic in his heart, and after a long while, he opened his mouth: ”No, I …”
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Heng suddenly pulled her up from the chair. ”Not what? It's not that I don't want you to leave, but the and the crown prince's forces are spread across the entire Dijing City, and the surging tides are unimaginably strong. You are so reckless, if something were to happen, how can I explain myself to Xiaowu? ”
Grandmother's every letter was telling him and the Third Young Master to take good care of Wen Jiu. If there was a chance, how could the old granny endure it?
The youth had a serious expression on his face, making Wen Jiu unable to refute his words.
She only wanted to throw herself into the gold and silver pile, but Xie Heng was involved in their battle. Even if he wanted to be a pure official, he couldn't avoid the schemes of those people.
Xie Heng let go of her and leaned his body against the Plum Blossom Tree. Faint moonlight spilled onto the courtyard as specks of light passed through the leaves and leaves, enveloping the youth and the girl within.
”That what …” ”Today's matter can be considered as Brother's fault, what about it?”
Xie Heng's breath was filled with the smell of alcohol, and he had to be full of energy to coax Young Madame, ”I know, once you entered the Yongle Workshop, I would come here to find you, making you lose face in front of outsiders. At most, I'll … ”
Wen Jiu slowly came to his senses, and seriously suspected that his brother had drunk too much, and did not know what he had said.
She wanted to call Shimei to help her go back to her room to rest, but when she turned her head, she was pulled by the young man to the tree trunk.
”Let me finish!”
Xie Heng pressed his hand against the side of her neck. After drinking the wine, the corners of his eyes slightly raised as he saved the peach blossoms, trying his best to put on a proper appearance. ”At your age, your curiosity towards many things is understandable. Brother is someone who has been through many things, I understand. ”
What do you understand?!
Wen Jiu leaned back as far as he could, the smell of alcohol on the youth's face slowly spread across her face, making her feel dizzy and disoriented for no reason.
”If you want to go next time, just change into men's clothes. I'll pretend that I don't know anything.”
Xie Heng said in a low voice.
The messy seven or eight times in Wen Jiu's heart had all disappeared, and at this moment, all that was left was shock.
She opened her eyes wide and stared at the young man in front of her.
Xie Heng tapped the corner of her eye and said with a low laugh, ”There's no need to look at me like that. It's not only been a day or two since I've helped brother look good.”
Wen Jiu was choked up by his words, so naturally, Xie Heng was good-looking. There were many men with outstanding Great Yan and appearances, but there was only one person like him, who had a murderous aura that could attract the attention of girls from all over the world,
After a long while, she finally said, ”Is what Elder Brother said true?”
Xie Heng stood straight and retreated a few steps, then laughed: ”Of course I mean it.”
At this time, the young man added, ”But our house is poor, you should know that going to a place like Yongle Workshop to sell money twice is equivalent to going to the northwest wind.”
That huge General's Mansion only had eight maids from attendant left, and two of them had to be allocated to look at the shops while drinking. The gatekeeper and the kitchen were all tight used, and in the entire Dijing City, they did not have a manor of a third rank official as tight as this.
Wen Jiu, ”...”
[The mansion is so poor, what else can I say?]
She stood under the Plum Blossom Tree, watching the radiance in the youth's eyes swirl.
Wen Jiu's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, but he still asked in the end, ”The young lady I brought back to the manor today, was seeking death for the sake of her innocence. Elder Brother feels that … Should she? ”
