C39 (1/2)
Si Xiang stopped in her tracks and turned to face Madam Xie, her head lowered without a word.
Lady Xie pushed Huaiyu away and staggered a few steps forward to grab onto Si Xiang's hand. With tears in her eyes, she said, ”Younger sister …” ”Good little sister, you are so young and beautiful …”
”You …” ”You have pity on me. Look at my ghastly appearance. You have pity on me.”
As she spoke, Mrs Xie plopped down on her knees in front of Si Xiang, holding onto the hem of her skirt as she cried, ”Don't fight with me for Ah Ni, okay?”
After kneeling down and shattering the scales on Ye Zizai's heart, the weight finally began to lean towards the side of the Xie family.
He pulled Madam Xie into his embrace, his heart aching. He pointed at Si Xiang and said, ”I won't take you as my side room. If you want to enter our house, you can only be my concubine!”
Si Xiang's eyes were wide open as she took a step back in fear of his stern voice. A pair of peach blossom eyes filled with tears, Si Xiang ruthlessly bit her lower lip. ”I didn't …”
”I have never thought of snatching anything from anyone. I had no intention of destroying your previous friendship.” With tears in his eyes, Si Xiang continued to circle around and around, but he didn't fall down. Instead, he stubbornly bit down on his lips.
It was as if he had been greatly wronged, ”The Old Granny said that our Si Family owes the Ye Family a favor, but the Ye Family owes the Si Family a debt of gratitude. I was under the care of two old people, and today I should have repaid the debt of gratitude. Even if the two elders told me to die, I wouldn't complain. ”
”But …” But, ”cried Si Xiang, her tears falling down,” I, a girl who did not leave the pavilion, was humiliated in this way. In the future, there might not be people who want it anymore. There is no path of survival left and right, so it's better if I die. ”
After saying that, Si Xiang turned her head and closed her eyes. He rammed into a beam pillar of the courtyard, only pulling at the corner of his shirt. Fortunately, the servant next to him was quick to react, but he was still rammed head first by Si Xiang.
The sound reverberated through the courtyard. A bloody wound appeared on the pillar, and Si Xiang fainted.
With a violent tremble in Ye Zheng's arms, Lady Xie suddenly became anxious and he put her in Huaiyu's arms. He ran over to check on his injuries and shouted for a doctor.
Lady Xie fell into Huaiyu's arms. Huaiyu was a girl after all, and her strength was not great. Mrs Xie almost couldn't hold on any longer and almost fell down. She couldn't help but tremble as she glared at the unconscious Si Xiang.
This woman …
After saying so much, all the crimes pointed at him.
What a great 'unintentionally' hurt her feelings. What a great 'repayment' for the sake of the two elders. What a great 'humiliation'!
This was killing the heart!
Mrs. Xie looked at Ye Zizai anxiously. Right now, his mind was filled with Si Xiang's injuries, and only a few servants looked at her strangely. That gaze seemed to be saying that the Xie Clan was such a vicious person that wanted to force a lady to death.
Lady Xie grabbed her handkerchief and shouted in shock. She ran over and shouted, ”Sister, what are you doing?”
”Aren't you trying to do me in?”
As she spoke, the Xie Clan was unable to stop themselves. He clutched his chest and fainted.
The farce in the antechamber finally came to an end when the two women fainted.
The summer wind was blowing.
It had rained before, so it wasn't that hot these days.
Ye Jinxiu was supporting herself on the board with one hand and fiddling around with the chess pieces with her fingers. Her thoughts were no longer on the board as she had made a mess of a game of chess.
”What happened behind the incense?” Ye Jinsu said, deep in thought.
”In the end, he was placed next to Ye Shisui at the Xiao Bamboo Pavilion in the yard to recuperate. This matter will be over just like that.” Ning Yunyun casually picked up a piece of bread, then took a large piece and lightly said.
Ye Jinsu looked at each and every one of them, and didn't have much of a reaction. His brain was still on the subject of Si Xiang, so he shouldn't have any reaction. This matter was disgraceful in any way. Ye Zhexi was someone who cared about his reputation, so the more he dealt with this matter, the better.
And Xie did not dare to force Ye Zizheng, she had to pretend to be magnanimous and patient. The more it was like this, the more Ye Zizai would lean towards her.
This was even more the case for Si Xiang. She wanted to pretend, pretend to be wronged, pretend to be kind and kind. That way, Ye Zhenzheng would feel sorry for her.
What a good show.
Ye Jinsu smiled and casually gave a son.
Ning Yunyin received another large group of chess pieces. She smiled and said, ”If you continue to play absent-mindedly like this, I'll kill you to the point that you won't even have a single piece left.”
