Chapter 163 So That's It

Qinyun Tower is gone, and everyone has returned to Lingyu Villa.

Chen Shiyi was lying on the bed in the room, and Bailing was changing her dressing.

"Sister, what hit your back? Why is it so badly injured?"

"I don't know. I was just trying to escape at that time. I didn't care about so many things."

Chen Shiyi's voice was very hoarse. The smoke must have hurt her throat. The words she spoke now inexplicably carried a deep sadness.

Maybe, it is really sad.

Drop by drop of sweat, the foundation built with hard work is gone in an instant.

The medicine made by Lao Qin is very good, and it feels cool when applied on the body.

After bandaging the wound, Chen Shiyi's face turned pale, the corners of his mouth turned white, and he looked listless and low in energy.

Bai Ling was a little worried.

"Auntie, are you okay?"

Chen Shiyi sat next to the mirror, pulled his hair, saw that the ends of his hair were curled up by burnt, and closed his eyes slightly.

"Bai Ling, take a pair of scissors and help me cut these hairs."

Not long after, Yuan Xi walked into Chen Shiyi's room.

"Sister..."

Chen Shiyi turned his head and quickly perked up and smiled.

"Why are you here?"

Yuan Xi said with tears in his eyes.

"Sister, how did you get hurt like this?"

Chen Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay. Just think about it. I'm lucky to be alive."

Yuanxi couldn't help but shed tears.

"Yes, my sister's survival is the most important thing.

Chen Shiyi comforted her.

"It's best that you think so."

Yuanxi wanted to take the scissors from Bailing's hand and cut Chen Shiyi's hair himself, but was rejected by Bailing.

"You are pregnant, so you can't touch knives, scissors, etc. This is taboo, do you understand?"

Yuanxi's hands were suspended in the air. She looked at them, which were becoming whiter and more delicate. She was pregnant, but she couldn't even do such a simple thing as cutting her sister's hair?

She raised her eyes and looked at her elder sister in the mirror. She looked so tired, but still trying to smile and was very kind to her. Her elder sister was so good to her, why couldn't she do anything for her elder sister?

Some time ago, she shouldn't have been curious about what the person that her sister liked looked like.

If it weren't for her and the bad luck she brought, Qinyun Building would not have been burned down.

If she stayed by her elder sister's side forever, she would bring bad luck to her elder sister. Mr. Pei is such a handsome man, and he treats her elder sister well. What if they can't be together because of her?

"Yuanxi..."

Yuan Xi lowered his hands and smiled at Chen Shiyi.

"What's wrong, sister?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Yuanxi turned his head and looked out the window.

"The weeping crabapple was in full bloom. When I transplanted it here, I was afraid it wouldn't survive."

"How could it not survive? You thought about it every day, trimmed the branches, watered it, fertilized it, and caught insects. Only then could it grow. Now it has bloomed such a beautiful flower, which is also thanking you for your cultivation."

"If only it stayed open in front of your window."

"Of course it will."

Bai Ling asked from the side.

"Yuanxi, how long have you known my sister?"

"If we count our first meeting, it should be eight years."

"Eight years? Where did you first meet?"

Chen Shiyi said with a smile.

"It was fate. At that time, Yuanxi and I were locked in the same room. It was she who reminded me that I was sold to a wealthy family as a maid. Otherwise, with my appearance at that time, I might have been sold to some remote corner and lived a hard life."

Yuanxi remembered that incident. It turned out that her involvement in her sister's betrayal was also her fault. Therefore, all the suffering and loss now were caused by her.

"Yuanxi, what's wrong with you?"

Yuanxi shook his head.

"Sister, wait until Bailing has done your hair, and then I'll do a nice hairstyle for you. You know I'm very skillful."

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"Yes, it would be nice if Bai Ling's hands were as skillful as her mouth."

Bai Ling snorted.

"Just abandon me!"

Her hair was divided into two strands and tied into two buns with silk, which were tied high on the top of her head. On both sides, blue jade tassels were pinned. Behind her head, a blue headband fluttered on her back, which was elegant and beautiful.

Chen Shiyi was very satisfied.

Yuanxi's belly was big and it was inconvenient for her to move. She stood for a long time to tie Chen Shiyi's hair. Then she sat aside, holding her belly, looking at Chen Shiyi with a smile on her face.

"Sister, I'm hungry and want to eat the crispy pork soup noodles you made for me."

Chen Shiyi said.

"Okay, okay, wait..."

Bailing also went to the kitchen to get it done.

I thought to myself, Yuan Xi usually cares about my elder sister the most. Now she is injured and looks unhappy. How could she be so ignorant of her own limits?

Forget it, considering that she is pregnant and has hysteria, just leave her alone.

The next day, Yuanxi took Caixia back home.

Xin Fangyun did not accompany her this time, mainly because he was looking after the shop in Caixing Town, and his younger brother had gone to play somewhere, so he had to come along.

Xin Fangyun returned to the yard, and his mother rolled her eyes when she saw his reluctant look.

"She's just pregnant with a child, not a golden nugget. Look at your baby, what has become of her now? Your brother just has some personal matters to attend to, so what's wrong with him asking you to look after the shop?"

Xin Fangyun held back his anger.

"The shop belongs to my brother. It doesn't matter if he always goes out to play. I have my own things to do. It's hard for Yuan Xi to be pregnant with a child. Can't you stop picking on her?"

Xin's mother-in-law was very angry.

"Whose child is as precious as hers? Her temper is getting worse and worse, and she is always showing off. Who is she showing off to?"

Xin Fangyun looked dejected.

"Mom, I told you before that you and your brother live behind the shop, and there is a house there. But you insisted on interfering with our affairs. We two live very well here, but you insisted on making a mess of our family."

"Do I have to join in? Ah? Look at which family has a house that would force me to sleep in a house like that? There are so many empty rooms here, so what if I sleep alone?"

"Don't you want to sleep? You're the one who always finds fault with Yuanxi. She's a thinker by nature, and you always say some half-truths behind her back, disturbing her mind. She can't sleep well at night. Mom, our life is good enough, and Yuanxi has given you so many benefits. What else do you want?"

Xin's mother-in-law put her hands on her hips and said.

"Okay, you unfilial thing, I will go to the clan leader and tell him about it. I want to see what will happen to you who married a wife but forgot your mother in the future."

Xin Fangyun said painfully, holding his head.

"Mom, do you know why I am doing all this? I am atoning for you. If you hadn't lured Yuan Shu out, got him arrested and sold, and hadn't done something dirty, and had Sister Yuan Xi found out, why would I have to be so servile in front of Yuan Xi? You couldn't have forgotten who I was doing all this for, right?"

When Xin's mother-in-law heard this, she dared not say anything more.

"It's been so long, isn't it all right?"

"Are you okay? As long as Yuan Shu is not found, I, your son, will have to be Yuan Xi's grandson. It's all because of you that I did such a stupid thing."
