Chapter 55 Xie Qiao can’t be that crazy?
The moment they turned around, Que'er and Song Jin looked at each other.
She couldn't believe her eyes and just stood there in a daze. She only came to her senses when she heard Song Jin calling her.
The moment she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red!
She rushed over: "Sister Xiaojin!"
Song Jin caught Que'er in one fell swoop and heard her crying, "Sister Xiaojin, the master said you were dead! Why are you here?"
Originally, Song Jin was still enjoying the joy of finding Que'er.
But Que'er's words made her feel cold. She blinked, very confused: "I... am dead?"
Where on earth did this rumor come from!
Isn't she standing here peacefully?
Que'er didn't care about anything else and just hugged Song Jin and cried bitterly.
People on the street kept looking at them, so Song Jin could only bring Que'er into the shop and close the door first.
After Que'er had cried enough, she turned her head and looked at the shop: "Sister Xiaojin, is this your shop?"
Song Jin nodded. She poured a cup of tea for Que'er and brought her some snacks. Then she asked, "Que'er, why are you in Kyoto? And why did you say I was dead?"
Que'er finally reacted and said quickly, "Sister Xiaojin, don't be angry. Not only do I think so, the head of the family thinks so too."
"The patriarch you're talking about is..." Song Jin guessed, "Is it Xie Qiao?"
"Yes, it's your husband, Sister Xiaojin." Que'er admitted quickly. She looked up and down at Song Jin several times, and seemed a little unbelievable: "Sister Xiaojin, I didn't expect you to be in Kyoto!"
Song Jin never expected this.
She just ran away, but Xie Qiao was so angry that he threatened to kill himself?
Isn't he a gentleman? Why are you so petty and calculative?
Song Jin frowned, looking a little unhappy.
Que'er glanced at Song Jin, not knowing what she had said to upset Sister Xiao Jin. She asked cautiously, "Sister Xiao Jin, why are you unhappy?"
Song Jin's face turned serious. "Nothing. I just felt that I just left without saying goodbye, but he actually said that I was dead. He doesn't seem like a gentleman."
"That's not true, Sister Xiaojin. The master of the family also thought that Sister Xiaojin was dead! The master of the family is still faithful to you and has not remarried!" Que'er explained hurriedly, even a little flustered.
"Keep chastity? What kind of chastity is he keeping for me?" Song Jin tilted her head in confusion, feeling that there seemed to be something she didn't know. She asked, "You were in Kyoto, did Xie Qiao bring you here?"
Que'er nodded: "Yes."
Song Jin felt more and more that something was wrong, and her expression became somewhat serious.
She held Que'er's hand and said seriously, "Tell me everything that happened after I died."
Seeing Song Jin so serious, Que'er did not dare to be vague: "I remember that night, I was being beaten and scolded by my mother at home, and Fu Cang suddenly appeared at this time. I don't know what he talked to my mother about. When he came out, he said that it was Sister Xiaojin who asked him to take me away, and my mother did not stop him."
"When I heard that it was Sister Xiaojin who wanted to take me away, I followed Fu Cang out, but I didn't expect to see the head of the family."
"After I got in the car, he told me that Sister Xiaojin fell off a cliff and died a few days ago. He followed Sister Xiaojin's instructions and wanted to rescue me from home and let me return to Beijing with the head of the family."
"I was sad at the time, but I really didn't want to go back to that family, so I followed the head of the family back to the Xie family branch in Chongzhou. I didn't expect that on that night, which was supposed to be the seventh day after your death, the head of the family married you despite everyone's opposition, holding your tablet."
"After the wedding, the master of the house returned to Kyoto, and I followed him back, and have been working as a maid in the Xie family ever since."
When Song Jin heard these words, she was stunned and couldn't think at all.
What did the bird say?
Xie Qiao got married holding the tablet?
He is still keeping his chastity for her?
Is Xie Qiao crazy?
So did he really think she died that night? Why does he think so?
Song Jin's mind was full of doubts. There were many things she couldn't understand, but there were some things she understood instantly.
So, Xie Qiao never looked for her because he thought she was dead?
What does this have to do with anything?
After Que'er finished speaking, she observed Song Jin carefully.
She hadn't seen Song Jin for a year. When she saw her again this time, Sister Jin was even more beautiful than when she was in Chongzhou.
Moreover, she didn't look like someone who had escaped death.
So why is that?
Que'er was curious, so she asked in a low voice: "Sister Xiaojin, what happened to you at that time?"
"I didn't die. I ran away secretly without Xie Qiao on my back. He was seriously injured at the time, so I asked Fu Cang to take him away first. Then I got off the carriage and ran away secretly, all the way to Kyoto."
Que'er opened her eyes wide: "Ah? Sister Xiaojin, why are you running away?"
Song Jin didn't know how to explain it.
After thinking for a while, she said, "My marriage with Xie Qiao was originally an accident. Later, I found out about his identity and his high-ranking family. Even if I followed him back, I could only be a concubine. I didn't want to do that. And..."
Song Jin affirmed: "He doesn't like me."
Que'er opened his mouth, not knowing what he wanted to say.
I don’t know what to say.
She had a vague feeling that there must be a misunderstanding between Sister Xiaojin and the head of the family, but she couldn't tell where the misunderstanding was.
Que'er knew that he was stupid, so he didn't say anything.
Anyway, no matter what, Sister Xiaojin is back, and that’s the best!
Que'er thought about it, and then she looked around.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that this shop was exactly the same as the one she and Sister Xiaojin had described when they were chatting in front of the steamed bun stall!
Que'er was a little excited: "Sister Xiaojin, is this dim sum shop yours?"
Song Jin first calmed down his emotions: "Yes, yes, that's what we talked about at the beginning! A few months ago, I sent someone to Chongzhou to pick you up to work with me, but I didn't expect that the person who went there said that you were no longer in Chunliu Lane. I asked around but couldn't find any news about you. I didn't expect that you were also in Kyoto!"
Song Jin paused.
She never expected that Xie Qiao would actually remember her words and help her accomplish what she wanted to do after she was gone.
Actually, she should be grateful to Xie Qiao.
Song Jin held Que'er's hand: "Que'er, how are you doing in the Xie family now?"
As Song Jin spoke, she looked at the bird carefully again.
Que'er looked obviously rounder than before, no longer thin and dry, and more like a young girl like them.
From this perspective, you can tell that she was not treated unfairly in the Xie family.
"I'm doing very well, Little Jinjie!" Que'er smiled for the first time. "After the master brought me back to Kyoto, I followed him into the Xie family. I only have to disturb one house every day, and no one cares about the rest. I eat well, sleep well, and get paid every month. I just miss you a little bit."
I don't want to mention the remaining lonely birds.
She is already very content with her current life, with food to eat, sleep to sleep and not being beaten.
Just by looking at Song Jin, you can tell that Que'er is living a good life now.
But she still asked: "We agreed to open a small shop together in Kyoto. Are you still willing to come and work with me now?"
Que'er's eyes lit up, and she answered without thinking, "I do!"
Of course she is willing!
Although the Xie family is good, she still prefers to be with Sister Xiaojin, not to mention that opening a small shop was a wish they had made together before, so of course she is willing!
But.
Que'er was a little tangled: "Although I didn't sign any indenture with the Xie family, it was the head of the family who brought me out. It doesn't seem right to leave like this now."
Song Jin was silent.
In fact, she also thinks so.
Moreover, there seemed to be some misunderstandings between her and Xie Qiao. If Xie Qiao was really remaining faithful to her, she felt that it was really unnecessary.
One is that she is not dead, and the other is...
It seems unnecessary to do that for a concubine who is not legitimate.
This year, Song Jin also heard and saw some things in Kyoto.
She knew that the aristocratic families were most afraid of being criticized. If they were caught with some small flaw and someone with ulterior motives used it to file a complaint, they might suffer.
As the head of the Xie family, Xie Qiao always respects the law and observes etiquette. He is old-fashioned but never makes mistakes.
If it was because of this matter, it seemed like she had delayed Xie Qiao.
This doesn't seem right.
She should have talked to him clearly, telling him that she had left and not died, and that they both had a new life now, that she was doing well, and that Xie Qiao should be doing well too.
They should both wish each other well and discuss what they didn't say that night.
Song Jin nodded...
She suddenly recalled the night when Xie Qiao grabbed her from the ox cart. He whispered in her ear that he wanted to review page 13 with her. He even used his hands to help her on the cart.
Que'er looked at Song Jin and said nothing. Her face even turned slightly red. Que'er tugged at Song Jin's sleeve and said, "Sister Xiao Jin, are you okay?"
Song Jin's face turned red as her memories were suddenly interrupted.
She coughed twice uncomfortably.
Song Jin thought, it's been a year, he should have calmed down by now, right?
This is in Kyoto, Xie Qiao wouldn't be that crazy, right?
Song Jin nodded, thinking that he couldn't.
It should be time to meet and have a good talk.
Song Jin said to Que'er, "Que'er, go back and tell him something. I want to see Xie Qiao. I'll meet him tomorrow at Fanlou. Don't worry. I'll take care of your business."
Que'er was in a dilemma. When she heard Song Jin say this, tears welled up in her eyes and she hugged Song Jin tightly, "Wow, little sister Jin, you are so kind! I will go back and tell the head of the family now!"
Song Jin watched Que'er's back as she ran away. When he thought about meeting Xie Qiao, he felt a little nervous.
She had so many questions she wanted to ask Xie Qiao.
In fact, she found it a little hard to imagine the scene of Xie Qiao getting married holding her tablet, but she felt inexplicably familiar with it.
But would Xie Qiao really do such a crazy thing?
Why did he do that?
Song Jin was puzzled and the more he thought about it, the more headache he got.
Until the agreed time the next day, Song Jin still felt uncomfortable.
She sat in the private room of Fanlou and waited, rubbing and pressing her temples, hoping to calm down the string.
But when there was a knock on the door, her heart was broken.
Song Jin got up and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, she saw Xie Qiao, who was wearing a plain brocade robe and still looked stunning.
Song Jin felt a shock in his heart.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for such a long time, Xie Qiao could still easily make her heart flutter with just this face.
Song Jin pursed his lips and remained extremely calm.
She pretended to be experienced and said politely, "Thank you, Master. You are here. Please come in and sit down."
