Chapter 484 Sister-in-law, you're being unreasonable!
Xie Liangchen's handsome features froze instantly, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Ah Fu?"
“Yes!” Jiang Nuanzhi said with certainty, “It’s him. He takes care of you without ever taking off his clothes, and he doesn’t shy away from suspicion. He even gives you breathing exercises. Although he sometimes seems like an idiot, he’s absolutely amazing to you. If you want to marry him, cough, if you want to repay him, go and repay him.”
"If you don't want to, then don't. Why humiliate me like this?"
Xie Liangchen's face was ashen, and after he finished speaking, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Lying on the snow, a sense of panic and desolation suddenly overwhelmed me.
The thought made Jiang Nuanzhi's brow twitch. She gritted her teeth inwardly.
This ridiculous plot sounds like the male protagonist being bullied by villains after he falls on hard times, then suddenly gets a power boost and embarks on a journey of striving to prove himself and slapping them in the face.
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't want to be his lapdog, and now she didn't want to be some kind of villainous female supporting character, someone else's stepping stone.
After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth, took out a silver note from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, then stuffed the hundred taels back into his pocket, and took out fifty taels. He slapped it into Xie Liangchen's hand.
Xie Liangchen stared blankly at the silver in his hand, pursing his chapped lips, his gaze fixed on Jiang Nuanzhi's face.
The voice is dry.
"What does this mean?"
It was sunset, and the setting sun cast its rays across the boundless snowfield. Jiang Nuanzhi was wrapped in a snow-white fox fur coat, which made her skin appear even whiter than snow. The setting sun cast a warm glow on her face. At this moment, she lowered her head, and her dark hair fell softly down. Xie Liangchen was momentarily lost in thought.
He should have been furious, but for some reason, he only felt the silver note was burning hot. His movement of throwing it away suddenly stopped.
"Don't misunderstand, I absolutely didn't mean to insult you in the slightest. I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart."
Given the male lead's thought process, Jiang Nuanzhi said very seriously, "Consider this money as compensation for your medicine. Go back and buy some nourishing herbs. I'll write two prescriptions for you now. You need to take good care of your health right now, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on until you take the preliminary exam."
Jiang Nuanzhi probably understood best what the minor exam meant to Xie Liangchen, and couldn't help but sigh: "We were master and servant for a time, and in the end, I was only thinking of your best interests. Actually, we didn't have any major grudges, it's just that I suffered grievances in your presence, and I didn't want to suffer grievances anymore, but you felt wronged. In the end, we're on different paths."
From now on, I'll live my own life, and you'll live yours; let's part amicably. If you also go to Kyoto, let's just live ordinary lives.
You shouldn't waste your time on unnecessary things. Don't overthink it either. Focus on your studies and your future success; your destined partner will naturally be waiting for you.
Xie Liangchen's lips tightened into a straight line: "Ha, what kind of destined person? I only speak to you. I have never said these things to anyone else."
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at his slightly stubborn face and vaguely felt that this person was extremely proud and was probably going to get stuck on a rut now.
He frowned and pondered for a moment, then finally said, "You probably misunderstood what happened when I examined you before, and you feel a sense of closeness. Or perhaps you feel that I am very different from the people you've met before, and you've mistaken it for love, wanting me to marry you and treat me well. But none of this is necessarily true. Life is only a few decades long, how difficult would it be to spend a lifetime with someone you don't get along with? You only vaguely feel good now, but wait until you meet someone who truly moves your heart, and you won't say such things anymore."
In the novel, he and the female lead are deeply in love, and although most of the scenes are those kinds of moments, they are absolutely serious when it comes to serious matters. The Xie Liangchen of today is truly baffling.
A cool breeze swirled the snowflakes, and for a moment the surroundings were so quiet you could almost hear the wind.
Xie Liangchen stood before her with his eyes lowered, making it impossible to discern the emotions within them.
However, the tightly clenched fists indicated that the owner's emotions were not as calm as they appeared.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at the sky and sighed, "We are ultimately not destined to be together, whether in the past or now. But no matter what, I already know the affection you have shown me today, and I am grateful. From now on, we are separated by mountains and rivers, and we should take care of ourselves."
As she spoke, Jiang Nuanzhi turned her head away.
"Fatty," Xie Liangchen called out instinctively.
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't turn around, because only when she wanted to leave did she realize that a group of people behind her were staring at her with wide eyes.
Goodness, is this the male lead?
Xie Liangchen was facing this group of people; he should have noticed them long ago. How did he manage to remain expressionless? Didn't he feel embarrassed at all?
Jiang Nuanzhi recalled her words and even wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
Then, seeing a bunch of people inexplicably appear behind her, Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes widened instantly: "Lu Zhong, what are you doing here!"
Lu Zhong, who had been staring at Xie Liangchen with his large, round eyes, gripping his sword and frowning, was so startled by Jiang Nuanzhi's words that he nearly jumped up.
He immediately asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law? Are you really sister-in-law? You're not some kind of mountain spirit or monster who's peeled off a beautiful woman's skin and is wearing it, are you?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
"Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment."
"No, sister-in-law, it really is you! Linchun just said it, and I couldn't believe it." Lu Zhong said, then frowned. "If it's you, you have to give me an explanation. The general isn't here, so how did you get involved with this person...? Even though you're beautiful now, you can't act like this!"
The next second, Lu Zhong's head was slapped hard by Jiang Nuanzhi.
Lu Zhong was dumbfounded: "Sister-in-law, you're being unreasonable! How could you hit someone like that!"
Jiang Nuanzhi rolled her eyes: "I'm asking you, when did I not understand? So many people are watching, am I speaking unclearly, or am I enunciating unclearly? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll rip your tongue out!"
Lu Zhong, a man of great stature, shrank his neck, looking resentful. His sister-in-law was very gentle when she was not good-looking, but now that she is good-looking, how did she become so shrewish?
For some reason, upon seeing Jiang Nuanzhi's face, he couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance and immediately obediently agreed.
"It's my fault."
In a daze, Xie Liangchen, a thin man in front of me, propped himself up and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'll be going now. You don't need to. We have no connection. I'm just here to see a friend off."
The sun had completely set, and the weather suddenly turned chilly, a strong wind whipping his sleeves. He gave Jiang Nuanzhi a deep look before approaching her. He had intended to return the fifty taels of silver to her, but after glancing at her hand, he handed the silver to Dongzang, who was protecting her. His gaze lingered on Jiang Nuanzhi's face for a long time before he uttered two words: "Take care."
Then, he silently turned around, walked to the horse, and took the reins with his slender, lean body.
