Chapter 140 Jealousy
Everyone was like watching a play. The things were taken away, the play was over, and everyone left. After a while, everything returned to the way it was at the beginning.
Pei Ruxin was pushed by the maid beside her. She came to her senses and realized that something might happen at home. So she took the maid and ran home without looking back.
Ye Lanzhou clapped her hands and turned to go upstairs, but was stopped by Xie Chengyan who was standing under the eaves. He looked at her without any emotion in his eyes and asked calmly, "Did you do this?"
"I don't have that ability." Ye Lanzhou said. The golden silkworm Gu poked its head out from her sleeve. She looked down and said, "It did it."
The golden silkworm Gu is the king of Gu that she raised, so it is easy for her to control a dying insect.
Xie Chengyan recognized the insect that had sucked blood from his eyes before. He now believed Ye Lanzhou's words without a doubt. Firstly, it was because he was unfamiliar with witchcraft, and secondly, it was because Ye Lanzhou had indeed helped him a lot.
It was like this before, and it is like this now.
If she hadn't controlled the golden silkworm Gu, Chu Xiu might not have been able to take Pei Song away so smoothly today. Correspondingly, Xie Zhaohe's plan might not have succeeded, and he would have to find other ways to cancel his marriage with the Pei family.
But Ye Lanzhou had absolutely no idea of Xie Zhaohe's plan. She might have been feeling uneasy, so she came forward to make Pei San's words come to nothing. Thinking of this, Xie Chengyan's lips curled up into a smile and asked, "The higher-ups have arranged a marriage between me and Pei San. Are you jealous?"
Ye Lanzhou was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Only after Xie Chengyan said this did she realize that Chu Xiu did seem to call the girl Miss Pei San just now, but she did not take action because of the relationship between Xie Chengyan and Pei San, but because she recognized Chu Xiu.
Regardless of whether Chu Xiu recognized her or not, she felt that she should help Chu Xiu because of their past friendship.
She didn't elaborate, just glanced in the direction where Chu Xiu and his group had left, and said, "I'm not jealous to that extent, it's just something that happened by chance."
She didn't say it, but Xie Chengyan understood what she meant by that look. It turned out that she offered help not because she disliked Pei San, but because she wanted to help Chu Xiu.
Xie Chengyan frowned, and a sudden surge of anger arose in his heart. Ye Lanzhou wanted to leave and dodged Xie Chengyan sideways, but after taking a few steps, he was stopped by him with a step.
He lowered his eyes, his voice even colder than in Shangjing these days: "Didn't you say that you only met Chu Xiu once? Is that enough for you to rush out to help without asking any questions? You were so quick to go downstairs just now, but why didn't you have the same courage when helping me? How many times have we met each other?"
He spoke this sentence quickly, but Ye Lanzhou quickly understood the meaning. Xie Chengyan didn't think that she was disloyal to him, he was clearly jealous.
After figuring this out, Ye Lanzhou took a step forward, deliberately leaning his head forward, and said with a tilt of his head, "I think the prince is jealous, right?"
She seldom showed such a playful look in front of him. In fact, this was what she should have at her age. However, she seemed to be overwhelmed by hatred and survival, wandering between life and death all day long, so naturally she rarely showed the innocence of a girl.
She was born with a fair complexion, and her face was as white and clean as a lotus root in summer. At this moment, her eyes were slightly narrowed because of a smile, which was a little different from usual.
Even though Xie Chengyan was angry, he was stunned by her appearance for a moment.
