Chapter 138 World 6 (10)

When he and Bao Shan were deeply in love, Xie Guan had once boldly mentioned that when they married, he would find the best embroiderer in the city to make her a unique wedding dress. Xie Guan remembered the ill-fitting embroidered shoes he wore when they first met. When Bao Shan became his wife, Xie Guan would surely cherish her and protect her, freeing her from the cautious and cautious life she had lived in the Qin Mansion.

Because of Xie Guan's abruptness, Bao Shan felt embarrassed and annoyed. She turned to the side and refused to speak no matter how Xie Guan coaxed her.

However, the scene of choosing wedding clothes remained the same, but the beauty accompanying him was not the one he loved.

Xie Guan's expression was gloomy, and he didn't respond even when Miss Yin called him several times. It wasn't until Miss Yin's expression became increasingly embarrassed that Xie Guan regained consciousness and asked, "What's the matter?"

Miss Yin pinched her palms until they turned red, and she forced a smile on her face. She said softly, "Do you like the style of this dress?"

Xie Guan nodded nonchalantly and said, "Okay."

Xie Guan walked aside, leaving Miss Yin to make her request to the embroidery shop owner.

Miss Yin turned slightly and looked at the absent-minded Xie Guan not far away, a trace of cruelty flashing through her heart. Xie Guan was walking with her, but he looked dazed, perhaps thinking about other women.

When the engagement was first made, Xie Guan was reluctant and even claimed to his parents that he already had a lover.

If it weren't for the tough attitude of Xie's parents, this marriage really couldn't be saved.

The news that Xie Guan wanted to cancel the engagement reached the Yin Mansion, and Miss Yin was able to get a glimpse of the inside story.

But Miss Yin did not take the woman in Xie Guan's heart seriously.

Although Xie Guan was fond of the woman, he did not go to her house to propose marriage. This showed that the woman must be of humble status, so Xie Guan did not dare to propose rashly and could only take his time.

Miss Yin was advised by her parents that if Xie Guan was still obsessed with that woman, she should be magnanimous and take her as a concubine.

In this way, Xie Guan will feel guilty towards Miss Yin and will definitely make more compensation.

But Miss Yin did not give in. She liked Xie Guan because he was gentle, polite and generous.

Miss Yin would not stop Xie Guan from taking a concubine, but she would never let Xie Guan take his sweetheart as a concubine.

Her status was humble, but it was enough to make a polite man like Xie Guan disobey his parents for her. Wouldn't it be a disaster to take such a woman into the mansion?

Now, seeing Xie Guan's appearance, Miss Yin resented the woman even more.

Miss Yin has inquired about the name of the person Xie Guan likes, but she doesn't know whether the woman is too inconspicuous or Xie Guan protects her too closely, so far, Miss Yin still hasn't learned the woman's real name.

There was a noise outside the embroidery workshop, and the shopkeeper came to greet her with a warm look on his face.

Miss Yin looked outside the door and understood that she recognized the customer who came in.

It was in recent days that Han Wenxin changed her previous flamboyant attitude and gave up pursuing Master Lu, whom she had been pursuing for a long time.

Han Wenxin didn't know Miss Yin, but when she saw Xie Guan, she knew that they were walking together. Her thoughts turned slightly, and she guessed that Miss Yin was the wife in her previous life who was "favored by the concubine and killed the wife". She eventually poisoned the precious fan and was neglected and tortured by Xie Guan, ending up with a miserable ending.

Miss Yin had no interest in staying any longer, so she asked the maid to put away the selected fabrics, and then softly called Xie Guan, preparing to leave the embroidery workshop.

Xie Guan stopped in front of a piece of iris-colored cloth with a serious look in his eyes. He asked someone to pack the cloth and send it to the door of Xie's house.

Hearing this, Miss Yin's heart sank slightly, but a gentle smile hung on her face: "This fabric has a light color, but it is not people who choose it, but it chooses people."

Miss Yin naturally did not like this color, and it was difficult to find someone in the Xie Mansion who was worthy of this piece of cloth.

A thought came to Miss Yin's mind, and she was suddenly filled with endless shame.

Her future husband was actually thinking of other beauties when choosing his wedding clothes, and he even carefully selected the fabrics that were suitable for the beauties.

Xie Guan didn't understand Miss Yin's dissatisfaction. He carefully stroked the smooth and delicate cloth, nodded slightly and said, "This cloth is really picky."

But it matches the precious fan very well.

Miss Yin was extremely angry, but she did not dare to bring up the matter, for fear that Xie Guan would become so angry and embarrassed that he would go all out to welcome his lover into the house.

Miss Yin shifted her gaze from the iris-colored fabric and turned to leave the embroidery workshop.

Han Wenxin, knowing the whole story from her past life, naturally guessed that the cloth Xie Guan had chosen was for the precious fan. Han Wenxin lowered her eyes, a thousand thoughts racing through her mind: A second life was a blessing from heaven, allowing her to change her own fate. But what about others? Was she simply going to watch them follow the same path as her past life, heading towards an unhappy ending?

In a flash, Han Wenxin made a decision and called out to stop Xie Guan.

Xie Guan frowned slightly, and kept a suitable distance from Han Wenxin, his eyes calm: "Miss Han."

Han Wenxin looked Xie Guan up and down. In Han Wenxin's opinion, Xie Guan and Miss Yin were a good match, as both of them had gentle personalities.

If it weren't for the treasured fan, Xie Guan and Miss Yin would probably have been a couple who supported each other through thick and thin.

Thinking of Baoshan, Han Wenxin's expression darkened slightly. Baoshan was too delicate and needed constant care and love, but Xie Guan was not such a person. Moreover...just as Han Wenxin had inquired, Xie Guan was not in the city that night when Baoshan met her lover.

It seems that the precious fan is not as innocent and fragile as it looks.

Out of kindness, Han Wenxin said meaningfully, "It's better to cherish the person in front of you. There are many people in the world who are two-faced. Thank you, my dear, don't be deceived by appearances."

Xie Guan frowned, puzzled, "What do you mean, Miss Han?"

The two of them were just casual acquaintances, having only met briefly a few times at a banquet and never even spoken to each other.

Today, Han Wenxin suddenly blocked his way and said these seemingly plausible words, which made people doubtful.

Han Wenxin said softly, "Although the Qin family's daughter is beautiful, she is like a piece of cloth sold from an embroidery workshop. She has become someone else's clothing. It is futile to think about her any longer."

Xie Guan's body stiffened. When people mentioned the daughters of the Qin family, they would only think of the famous legitimate daughter Qin Fu.

But Xie Guan was different. He was obsessed with the treasured fan, so he naturally thought of her when he heard the Qin family girl.

Han Wenxin was hinting at something, implying that the precious fan was a piece of cloth bought by someone else, meaning that the precious fan had been contaminated by someone else and had lost its innocence...

Xie Guan's expression was solemn, and he did not accept Han Wenxin's kindness. He changed his usual gentle demeanor and said in a cold voice: "A woman's reputation is so important. Miss Han may not value her reputation, but she must not slander others.

It only takes a moment for these words to be spoken lightly, but they are enough to ruin a woman's fate.

It's best not to mention this to anyone else, otherwise the reputation Miss Han has built up over the past few days will be destroyed in an instant."

Xie Guan was surprised by the implication in Han Wenxin's words.

But that was a matter between him and the treasured fan, and he would not show it to outsiders.

In his opinion, even if Han Wenxin really knew something, he would not say it so rashly in broad daylight.

Han Wenxin seemed to have not expected that Xie Guan would react like this after learning the truth.

Xie Guan said nothing more, and said in a deep voice, "Goodbye."

Looking at Xie Guan's indifferent back as he left, Han Wenxin's cheeks flushed. She had indeed acted on impulse just now, and she had clearly promised Baoshan that she would keep her promise.

However, in order to let Xie Guan let go of his thoughts about the precious fan and live a good life with Miss Yin, he said it rashly.

Han Wenxin thought, if Xie Guan knew that Bao Shan had lost her innocence and was meeting someone else, any affection would be completely extinguished. Then, Xie Guan and Miss Yin wouldn't end up like they did in their previous life, growing tired of each other. This would be a good thing she had done since her rebirth. But—but despite her good intentions, Xie Guan had this attitude.

Han Wenxin felt embarrassed by being blamed by Xie Guan and did not stay in the embroidery workshop anymore.

Qin family.

Qin's parents sat in the hall, and below sat the eldest daughter Qin Fu and the housekeeper sent by the Duke's Mansion to deliver the invitation to the wedding.

When he saw Qin Fu, the housekeeper was full of praise for her. He praised Qin's father for his seriousness in his conduct and Qin's mother for her generosity in managing the household, which allowed them to raise a daughter like Qin Fu, who was beautiful, dignified and steady.

Qin's father accepted all the flattering words from the steward of the Duke's Mansion.

After sending the butler away, Father Qin stroked his long beard, his face filled with joy, and he repeatedly said "good." Given Lu Wenhe's outstanding performance, the Duke's Mansion would surely rise to a higher level in the future.

After Qin Fu gets married, she will not only become the future wife of the Duke and enjoy a glorious life, but she will also be able to support the men of the Qin family.

With such a good marriage, other families would try their best to avoid getting involved with the Duke's Mansion.

And their Qin family, just by staying in the mansion, has obtained such a good thing. How can they not be happy.

Mother Qin's back straightened up as she let out a breath of air, her brows relaxed. "It's still Fu'er who's making a difference. Look at that darling girl from the Han family. She's been following Master Lu for so many years, but she hasn't been able to make him fall in love with her."

And Fu'er only showed up at the banquet at the Duke's Mansion, and then..."

Upon hearing this, Qin's father became even more proud. He and Lord Han were not on good terms, and the Duke's Mansion's actions had further humiliated the Han family and enhanced the prestige of their Qin family.

Qin Fu's face was not very happy. She frowned slightly and said calmly, "Father and Mother, don't be too happy. It's just a visit. Whether it will work out or not is still uncertain."

Father Qin raised the invitation in his hand and said, "My son is too cautious, which is a good thing. However, I have never heard of Prince Lu taking the initiative to show his affection to other women. Now this... Prince Lu's intentions are clear."

Qin's father is a man, and he understands men's minds. If he doesn't have any ulterior motives, according to Lu Wenhe's personality.

Even if Duke Lu was interested, he would not send such an invitation unless Lu Wenhe agreed.

Qin Fu took the invitation and looked at the words "Inviting the two daughters of the Qin family to meet" written on it. A thought flashed in her eyes: Is Lu Wenhe's action for the marriage, or for something else...

Baoshan was given three of the newly-made garments in the mansion, one of which was an iris dress with a novel and charming pattern on the hem, which showed at once that much thought had gone into its design.

This dress, both in color and style, perfectly suits Baoshan's taste.

Baoshan put on her dress and stroked the wrinkles on it, thinking: The Qin family will definitely not blame her for Qin Fu's sake, but they won't be so considerate either.

Such a dress that suited her taste did not seem to be something that anyone in the Qin Mansion could have thought of. It seemed that it was secretly arranged by her and selected by Xie Guan, the queen's disciple.

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

Baoshan pushed open the door of the Qin Mansion and came to the banyan tree where she and Xie Guan often had secret meetings in the past.

Xie Guan was indeed here.

His face was solemn as he looked at Bao Shan's pretty face. He opened his thin lips and said, "Who is it? You are willing to let him have your body."
