Chapter 91 Ready to find another good son-in-law at any time? !
The voice was not loud, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice. The moment they saw Xie Qiao, they all stood up involuntarily.
Xie Qiao was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe with only a simple golden crown on his head.
He walked in slowly, with no emotion in his eyes.
But as soon as he appeared, the few people who were originally lively seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.
Everyone was like a pigeon with its wings caught, shrinking its neck.
Everyone saluted seriously.
Jiang Yao: "Cousin."
Song Jin: "Brother."
Que'er: "Master."
Pei Chao: “…”
Pei Chao was a little confused. The man in front of him was clearly Song Jin's husband. He saw him clearly in front of Song Jin's steamed bun stall in Chunliu Lane.
But now she calls him brother?
Besides, the way he is dressed now is completely different from when he was in Chunliu Lane.
When Pei Chao saw Xie Qiao, he immediately felt that his demeanor was not that of an ordinary citizen.
Today in Kyoto, wearing this brocade robe, I dare not look directly at it.
Pei Chao didn't dare to say much for a moment and just saluted towards Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao passed by Pei Chao and glanced at him indifferently.
That luthier?
The person who casually calls others brother without any manners.
Xie Qiao retracted his gaze, and sat upright on the chair, his face cold and expressionless: "Everyone, get up."
Everyone stood up, and no one dared to say a word.
Jiang Yao lowered her head to her chest, wishing she could pretend to have a stomachache and run away.
The same goes for Song Jin.
Although she had explained everything to Xie Qiao last night and their accounts had been settled, but...
She looked at Xie Qiao. Why did she feel nervous as if she was caught?
No one spoke, and Xie Qiao was the first to speak to Pei Chao: "I am Xie Qiao, the eldest son of the Xie family."
Although Pei Chao had just arrived in Kyoto, he remembered all the nobles in Kyoto clearly.
Hearing Xie Qiao reveal his identity, Pei Chao quickly said, "Greetings, Master Xie."
"Stand up." Xie Qiao said calmly. He then looked at Jiang Yao: "Ayao, why are you here?"
Jiang Yao's heart was pounding.
She had really been afraid of this cousin since she was a child and always avoided him.
Being suddenly called out, Jiang Yao didn't dare to hide anymore: "In reply to my cousin, I am hosting a banquet here today to apologize to Miss Song. I was reckless yesterday and made Miss Song unhappy."
"That's how it should be." Xie Qiao raised his hand, and Fu Cang stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Xie Qiao and placed it in his hand.
Xie Qiao moved with great dignity and took a sip of tea: "Who is this?"
Jiang Yao explained: "It's the zither player of the teahouse. Master Pei seems to know Miss Song, so he came up to greet her. Miss Song, is that right?"
Jiang Yao quickly threw this hot potato to Song Jin.
Song Jin was caught off guard: "That's it."
"In that case, I won't bother you anymore." Xie Qiao said as he stood up and prepared to leave, as if he just happened to pass by.
He didn't even look at Song Jin since he entered the door.
Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was feeling thankful that Xie Qiao had left, she heard Xie Qiao stop at the door and whispered with his back turned, "Ah Jin, I have something to talk to you about."
Song Jin felt a chill on his back.
She felt that Xie Qiao must have no good intentions in looking for her.
She subconsciously said, "Brother, I have something else to do here."
"She's fine! She's fine!" Jiang Yao didn't dare to make Xie Qiao angry. She pushed Song Jin over and said, "Cousin, I've already apologized. Cousin must have something important to do!"
Song Jin was pushed forward to behind Xie Qiao, and before she could pull back, her wrist was grabbed by a cold hand.
Song Jin: Oh my god!
"In that case, Ah Jin, please come back with me first." Xie Qiao turned his head and said to Que'er, "Que'er, you..."
Que'er blinked: "Master, I still have some things to buy, so I won't go back with Sister Xiaojin for now."
Xie Qiao: "Fu Cang, send someone to take care of Que'er."
Fu Cang: "Yes."
After Xie Qiao finished speaking, he quickly left with Song Jin.
Song Jinxiu's skirt fluttered like a butterfly, but even so she couldn't keep up with Xie Qiao's steps.
She complained in a low voice: "Brother, please let me go. I will go by myself."
But Xie Qiao seemed not to have heard her. He just held her wrist and led her to the carriage in front of the door.
Then he bent down, picked up Song Jin horizontally, and threw him straight into the carriage.
Song Jin's mind went blank, and he instantly recalled the antics in the carriage.
She subconsciously wanted to run away.
But Xie Qiao grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into the carriage.
His voice was low: "Where else do you want to run to, Jin?"
Song Jin: “!”
The carriage was moving on the busy street, and the noisy sounds on the street drowned out the noise inside the carriage.
However, the Lin Mansion, far away from the street, was very quiet.
In Mrs. Lin's bedroom, there was a hint of soothing incense burning, and only a small lamp was on, barely illuminating Mrs. Lin lying on the bed.
Mrs. Lin did not sleep well. She could not find a way out of the nightmare until she was soaked in cold sweat and was awakened by the calls.
Mr. Lin sat beside the bed and half-hugged Madam Lin: "Madam? Madam!"
Mrs. Lin woke up from her dream.
She opened her eyes and was in a trance for a while before she said in a hoarse voice, "Husband, why are you here?"
Mr. Lin held Madam Lin in his arms and said, "It's already been tied up. You've slept for a long time. Do you want to get up and eat something? I'll ask someone to light the lamp."
"No need for now." The old lady pulled him back and whispered, "Husband, I want to talk to you."
Master Lin sat back gently, and lifted Madam Lin up a little more, letting her find a comfortable position in his arms: "Well, you talk."
The dim candlelight illuminated their not-so-old faces.
Madam Lin slowed down and said calmly, "My husband, you only know that I was married before and had children, but I have never told anyone how my poor child left me."
Mr. Lin said nothing, but gently stroked Mrs. Lin's back.
Madam Lin continued, "Back then, I was the daughter of the Lu family's concubine, not even a concubine. My mother was the daughter of a good family. Because our family was poor, she was bought by my father, Lu Yang. Because the mistress of the family was fierce, he did not dare to take my mother as a concubine. He only secretly raised her in a small courtyard outside. In the end, he even forgot that there was such a person as my mother, and did not give her any money."
"My mother was strong-willed and well-educated. She had always despised her status as a concubine, so she did not go to the Lu Mansion to find someone. Instead, she did some rough work like sewing to raise me."
"After I grew up, I had long forgotten who my father was. I only wanted to get married before my mother became seriously ill so that she wouldn't worry. So I set up a stall outside to support me and my mother while looking for a husband for myself. I didn't expect to find the King of Qi."
"He was not favored at the time. He was dressed in coarse cloth and was with the other candidates who came to Kyoto for the imperial examination. I couldn't tell him apart at all. After I knew his identity, I gave up on him and went to find another husband, Shi Yan."
"He was a candidate for the imperial examination that year, but he had a high fever and fell into a coma on the day of the imperial examination and missed the opportunity. He also had no money to return home, and I happened to be in love with him, so he married me and stayed in Kyoto to prepare for the exam. He and I saw my mother pass away together. Within two months, I became pregnant."
"But I didn't expect that when I was eight months pregnant, Shi Yan was hit and killed by a carriage that came out of nowhere when I went out. And my father who had not appeared for many years came to find me and brought me back to the Lu family."
"I originally thought he had a change of heart, but I didn't expect that he found out that the King of Qi liked me, so he wanted to offer me to him. I didn't want to, but because I was pregnant, I endured until the birth. I didn't expect that after I had given birth to the child with all my strength, Lu Yang actually killed my child in front of me!"
Madam Lin said, her words were cold and cruel: "I struggled to get up from the bed, and saw a dagger stuck straight into Xiao Shu's body."
"She was so tiny, she didn't even cry a few times, her little body hadn't even warmed up yet, and she was killed by a cold dagger!"
"Lu Yang, he is not a human being at all!" Madam Lin closed her eyes. "Later, I pretended to obey him, and when he sent me out of the house, I ran away on the road. After that, I founded a business, met you, and got evidence of Lu Yang's corruption. Only then did I finally avenge my Xiao Shu!"
"I fainted after seeing Xiao Shu being killed, but I never thought that Xiao Shu was not dead!"
Mrs. Lin became increasingly excited. She held onto Mr. Lin's hand tightly and said, "My husband, my Xiao Shu may not be dead yet! She seems to be Song Jin. I saw the scar on her chest today!"
"Do you think she was in pain? Such a small child was stabbed in the chest with a dagger. How did she survive?!"
As Mrs. Lin spoke, she became increasingly emotional.
Mr. Lin felt mixed emotions when he heard this. He only knew that his wife hated his father to the core, and he had no idea that she had actually experienced such a thing.
Song Brocade.
Shi Xiaoshu.
It turned out to be this child.
In fact, when he saw the child for the first time, he felt that the child was somewhat similar to his wife.
He slowly comforted Mrs. Lin: "Don't worry, Madam. If it is Xiao Shu, I will definitely bring her back and we will treat her well in the future!"
Mrs. Lin cried and nodded in Mr. Lin's arms.
In the dark night, the light gradually dimmed.
The carriage drove all the way to Xixi Dim Sum Shop.
Song Jin sat at the innermost part of the carriage, farthest away from Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao didn't touch her or even speak a word along the way, but Song Jin could feel the pressure emanating from him just by sitting next to him.
Song Jin didn't say anything either.
Xie Qiao didn't say anything either.
Song Jin felt that Xie Qiao must have no serious business in looking for him.
The two were very quiet.
It was not until the carriage stopped that Song Jin said, "Thank you for sending me off, brother. I will go back now."
Song Jin thanked him politely, then lifted her skirt and turned to get out of the car.
When she turned around, she saw Xie Qiao following her, right behind her.
Song Jin was startled.
How come Xie Qiao got out of the car without making any sound, like a ghost?
Song Jin opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but Xie Qiao grabbed her by the waist and walked straight towards her bedroom.
Fu Cang sensibly closed the door to the yard and stood outside like a tree stump. Only Song Jin and Xie Qiao were in the house.
Song Jin kicked his legs: "Brother! Put me down quickly! What will it look like if others see me like this! This is not right!"
Xie Qiao ignored her. He carried Song Jin into the house with ease and threw her on the bed.
He leaned forward and hung over Song Jin, his expression completely different from that in the teahouse just now.
More like a dangerous wolf.
He had a gloomy look on his face as he stared at the little rabbit that belonged to him alone, who wanted to escape at any moment and was not at all restless and well-behaved.
He gnashed his teeth in hatred.
God knows, he was busy in the palace all night, and after returning to the Xie family, he heard the news that Song Jin, the ungrateful little bastard, had left overnight.
She really wanted to draw a line between herself and him.
He did not rest, but quickly changed his clothes and went to find her, but he did not expect to catch her in the teahouse.
She looked relaxed, without any sadness at all.
He was wrong.
He should have ignored this disobedient girl and just locked her on the bed in Yuechuan Pavilion!
"Ajin, you asked me to let you go. Do you want me to watch you run off to somewhere?" Xie Qiao looked dangerous. He stared at the girl under him and said, "It's been less than ten hours since you left the Xie Mansion, and you've already found a new lover so quickly."
Song Jin closed his eyes and didn't look at Xie Qiao.
She was a little trembling.
Suddenly she realized that maybe what Xie Qiao said about locking her up was not a lie!
Xie Qiao grabbed her wrist and pressed her down on the bed.
He leaned over and placed his cold lips against Song Jin's ear.
Every word is so mysterious that it haunts me like a ghost.
"Song Jin, do you really not know my feelings, or are you just being perfunctory and wasting my feelings, ready to find another good husband at any time?!"
