Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Let’s get a divorce.
Zhang Jingxian loosened her teeth that were biting Xie Yun.
Her mind was a mess, like a tangled mass of twine. But no matter how angry or resentful she became, even if she bit a venomous snake to death, the outcome couldn't be changed.
Yesterday, she and Xie Yun got married, becoming husband and wife in the presence of heaven, earth, and everyone.
Zhang Jingxian forced herself to calm down, but she took a deep breath, and the gloom in her heart only grew. She lowered her head and, without a second thought, turned her back to him, refusing any eye or physical contact.
She doesn't want to see him now.
However, this action was like triggering a taut bowstring. Just as she was about to leave, Xie Yun's tall body immediately stiffened.
The scene in reality was somewhat similar to the dream. His breathing was rough and rapid. He forcefully turned Zhang Jingxian's head over, nose to nose, and stared at her with his black eyes.
Zhang Jingxian refused to look him in the eye, with a cold face.
"Ah Xian, never turn your back on me, otherwise, there will be no one to shelter you from the rain." Xie Yun said to her softly, with a hint of smile in his voice but a sad tone that no one could understand.
Zhang Jingxian continued to ignore it. She didn't need anyone to shield her from the rain. She didn't need it before and she didn't need it now. When it rained, she would put on her own raincoat.
Xie Yun's fingers stroked her tightly closed lips, which were stained with a little blood, and the bright red color was dazzling.
He sniffed it, then showed her the other side of his neck, telling her she could bite it too. If she wanted, she could even tear a piece of flesh off it.
"Ah Xian tasted my blood," his Adam's apple rolled heavily, and he asked her affectionately in a cheerful tone, "Which tastes better to Ah Xian, the wedding wine or my blood?"
Zhang Jingxian's expression froze, and she recalled those fragmented and frightened scenes, and suddenly reached out to push him.
Xie Yun grabbed her hands that were pushing her away, leaned forward and kissed her knuckles, but just once seemed not enough. He raised his eyelids and observed the woman so close to him with a deep gaze.
Apart from her slightly red and swollen eyelids, she had pushed herself with considerable force.
After all, she was a peasant girl with outstanding archery skills who often hunted in the mountains. She was thin but never delicate.
Zhang Jingxian's hands couldn't help but pull back, and ended up being grabbed even harder and tighter.
During the struggle, Xie Yun's lips and teeth accidentally touched the thin calluses that grew on her due to labor. The color of her eyes suddenly changed, and the desire that had never been extinguished burned again.
He raised his head and called Zhang Jingxian's name very gently, "I still prefer the wedding wine."
The exquisite wine jug and wine glass were right within his reach. The two of them had only drunk a little last night, so most of the wine was still left.
He held her wrist with one hand and poured wine with the other with a clear purpose.
Zhang Jingxian saw the man's deep desire, her eyes widened in panic, and she said with difficulty that she was hungry, "Xie Yun, don't make me hate you more."
She no longer wanted to call him "Huang Jun" and instead coldly called him by his first name. Adding the word "hate" to it was meant to convey a strong feeling of dislike, but she didn't know that to his ears, it sounded like heavenly music.
Xie Yun half-closed his eyes in comfort and drank a glass of wine calmly. He had said long ago that what he could not tolerate more than hatred was her lack of love.
Of course, falling in love with someone else is the most unbearable thing.
"Ah Xian, it rained last night and my legs hurt. Please help me and we will go have dinner." He spoke in a hoarse voice and paused noticeably when he mentioned the rain.
"...How can I help?" Zhang Jingxian compromised, not because his legs hurt, but because she was really scared.
She was so scared of the feeling of being controlled, strangled, bewitched, and confused to the point of trembling over and over again.
"Can I still give you acupuncture as before?" She asked anxiously, not knowing that in this brief moment, she was once again controlled by Xie Yun.
"Yes," Xie Yun looked at her and nodded slowly, then changed the subject, "But there are no golden needles here, so Ah Xian, just help me rub it casually."
He said this lightly, and without hesitation, he opened his shirt, revealing a pair of slender and tight legs in front of her. The outline of his muscles was like a sword, cold and sharp.
After several months, some of the scars have faded, but the danger they caused can still be seen.
Zhang Jingxian lowered her eyes and placed her fingers on the acupuncture points above and pressed down. She didn't know whether the pain in his legs was real or not, but she knew which acupuncture points could make him feel real pain.
With a bit of anger, she used all her strength.
Perhaps sensing her desire for revenge, Xie Yun looked at her quietly and commanded, "From now on, Ah Xian must help me on every rainy day and you are not allowed to go out again."
Zhang Jingxian gritted her teeth and looked at him, and happened to meet his eyes which were filled with a hint of red.
She was stunned for a moment, then slowly withdrew her fingers.
-
When the rich and delicious meal was brought in, Zhang Jingxian was still dressed the same way as before, except that a strand of her long hair was cut short.
She washed in silence, sat down in silence, and ate her delicious meal in silence.
It seems that in this way, he stubbornly expressed that he did not want to get married, and he did not get married at all.
Xie Yun sat in front of her leisurely, and pointed to a dish deliberately, saying that it was specially presented by the Cai family of Wuling County. "I remember Ah Xian really liked this fresh crucian carp and silver thread sashimi."
When he mentioned the Cai family, the woman who was having dinner was slightly startled. She remembered what she said when she met Cai Shu and Xiao Chan, and her eyes went dark.
How could she explain to them that she had no intention of playing tricks on them?
"Xie Yun, your wife should have been a woman of noble status and unparalleled talent. Now she has become a woman like me, with no family background and no talent. How do you explain this?"
She stared at him coldly, her eyes like clear streams.
"Explain? Explain to whom?" Xie Yun laughed lightly and asked curiously what was going on in her mind.
Compared to his preferences, family background and talent are insignificant and not worth mentioning.
"Thank Prime Minister Xie and your parents, aren't you afraid of being blamed by them?" Zhang Jingxian always remembered what Xie had said to her, that only the aristocratic family could be a match for each other.
"Ah Xian, my uncle and my parents only want me to marry for the sake of profit, not family background or talent. My brother-in-law, Wang Yan, is not very talented, but my uncle still let me marry him."
Is there no talent or learning because of the Wang family's family background? No, it is because the interests of the Wang and Xie families are aligned.
Xie Yun had seen this most real and disgusting truth since he was young, so when he first thought about why she saved him, the first thing he thought of was that she wanted to benefit from him.
However, after he handed over the ornaments on his body and lied to her that he had lost his memory, she still flirted with him. Only then did Xie Yun begin to think that she might be after him.
Although the results were very annoying later and even now, Xie Yun still adheres to the principle that "profit is the essence of interactions between people."
"I can't bring any benefits to the Xie family or to you, Envoy Xie." Zhang Jingxian said calmly and decisively. It would be better for the two of them to divorce now and have nothing to do with each other's marriage from then on.
Yes, so what if they get married? They don't have to be tied together for life, and they can still get divorced.
"It seems that Ah Xian has forgotten what I said last night." Xie Yun heard her bluntly mention the word divorce, his brows gloomy, and he smiled and said, "Even if I die, you and the place where you live will always bear my mark."
Zhang Jingxian remained silent. Yangshan and Xishan Village were her weaknesses.
"Ah Xian, don't underestimate yourself. In fact, you have brought the most moving benefits to the Xie family and me." Seeing that she was obedient and silent, Xie Yun's eyes mostly subsided, and he said softly that no other woman could compare to her.
"What is it?" Zhang Jingxian asked after hesitating for a while, puzzled.
She herself couldn't think of it.
Xie Yun said, "My life."
"Oh." Upon hearing this, she nodded calmly and continued to concentrate on eating. Xie Shijun's life is indeed precious and cannot be compared to anything else.
But so what? She too had a life hanging in the balance, a reminder day and night not to forget.
She thought for a moment and then said, "Now that we're married, shouldn't we go home to visit our relatives according to the rules? Xie Yun, I'm going back to Xishan Village the day after tomorrow."
Zhang Jingxian filled her stomach and regained her strength. At the same time, an idea popped up in her mind.
It's well-founded and impeccable.
Unfortunately, this applies to ordinary people, but Xie Shijun is a gloomy and ferocious poisonous snake.
"Ah Xian, don't make me angry." He scooped up a spoonful of soup and gently placed it on her lips.
Zhang Jingxian stood up and left, "I'm full, you can eat by yourself."
She couldn't wait to leave this place where he was, even if it was just to return to the guesthouse where she used to live to sort out her thoughts first.
After the autumn rain, thin sunlight poured into the house. Xie Yun did not stop her, but watched her quietly as she walked into the corridor.
It doesn't matter, they still have a long, long time to fight each other.
As long as they both survived.
Thinking of this, Xie Yun's brows furrowed, and he ordered his men to call over his most loyal subordinate, Xie.
