Chapter 052 Chapter 52 (Additional update)

Before Mr. Qu sent his servant to stop Xie Qingya's carriage, Changfeng had actually seen Mr. Qu's carriage earlier.

He immediately reported the matter to Xie Qingya who was in the carriage.

Xie Qingya still doesn't know what happened to the Qu family.

Hearing Changfeng say this suddenly, he was silent for a moment in the carriage and just said, "Don't pay any attention to it."

He thought this time would be the same as before.

Even if the master and disciple met on the road, they would pretend not to know each other.

He didn't expect that this time, his teacher would actually send someone to stop his carriage.

Changfeng obviously didn't expect this either.

Looking at the old servant's posture and the look of him rushing towards them, Changfeng didn't understand what he meant. He was also afraid that Old Qu was here to reprimand the prince again. He felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and asked him from outside, "Prince, what should we do?"

Xie Qingya did not speak immediately.

After a while, Xie Qingya heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer. He suddenly sighed and said, "Let's see what he has to say."

The old man is old.

I've been pissed off by him before, so I'd better not torment him anymore.

At most he would just get scolded a few times, which wouldn't hurt or itch at all.

What's the big deal?

The sound of horse hooves stopped, and Changfeng's respectful voice came from outside.

"Mr. Qu."

But I didn't hear the old man's voice.

Xie Qingya pinched his brows, feeling somewhat helpless, but when he lifted the car curtain, the expression on his face changed back to his usual carefree look.

He leaned against the carriage, lifted half of the curtain with the hand holding the folding fan, and was full of romantic spirit.

The uniform he wore was the same as Qu Boyuan's, both were bright red round-collared official robes, except that Qu Boyuan's robe was embroidered with cranes, while Xie Qingya's was embroidered with a peacock on his chest.

Just this official uniform.

When worn by Qu Boyuan, he looked like an immortal, the leader of all officials. When people saw him, they could not help but want to bow down to him with respect.

Can be worn on Xie Qingya's body——

The young man's handsome appearance was made even more eye-catching by the official uniform.

With such a good-looking face, I'm afraid that if I walk on the street, girls will throw fruits and flowers at me.

But when Qu Boyuan saw his lazy behavior, his face almost immediately darkened.

Subconsciously, I wanted to open my mouth and scold him.

But when the words came to his lips, thinking about why he had offended others today, Qu Boyuan suppressed his temper and talked about business with others: "This matter is because I didn't discipline them strictly. Don't worry, when I return, I will severely punish those evildoers and will definitely not let this matter pass so easily!"

He hated people like this the most in his life.

However, he never expected that several of his own granddaughters would collude with outsiders to do such a shameful thing right under his nose!

How could Qu Boyuan let it go so easily?

Xie Qingya, however, was confused.

He thought the old man was here to scold him, and he was ready to be scolded.

Unexpectedly, what he said when he opened his mouth was something he himself couldn't understand.

"What?"

Xie Qingya asked Qu Boyuan.

Seeing his reaction, Qu Boyuan also frowned.

He first frowned and looked at Xie Qingya for a while. No wonder he was so calm. He thought that this bastard was really blinded by alcohol and sex and didn't even care about his little sister at home.

It turns out I don’t know yet.

Qu Boyuan would not cover up anything for the evil deeds that happened in his family.

With a stern face, he told everyone what had happened in the mansion today.

Finished.

Seeing the young man opposite, his originally nonchalant expression suddenly became gloomy, and then even his eyes became cold and sharp.

Over the years, Qu Boyuan had seen him being careless in everything he did, so when he suddenly saw him like this, he actually felt a little relieved.

It seems that this idiot is not really hopeless.

At least we still care about family ties.

His expression was noticeably more relaxed, and his voice became softer than before.

"I didn't take good care of this matter. I'm sorry. When I get home and teach those evil beasts a lesson, I'll lead people to the palace to give your younger sister a gift and apologize."

Xie Qingya said nothing.

His face looked extremely ugly at this moment.

He didn't know this.

However, Changfeng outside suddenly murmured, "It turns out that Fuqiu went to Linfeng Pavilion yesterday because of this matter..."

Mr. Qu was far away and did not hear these words.

Xie Qingya heard it all.

This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. Seeing Changfeng looking back at him with self-blame and anxiety in his eyes, Xie Qingya glanced at him, but did not lose his temper on the spot. He just said in a deep voice, "Go back to the palace first."

Changfeng naturally dared not disobey.

He quickly agreed.

The prince behind him had already dropped the curtain, but he couldn't help but say something to Mr. Qu.

He knew that the prince had always respected his mentor deep down.

But now something happened suddenly and it concerns a girl.

The prince was anxious.

"Mr. Qu..."

He looked at Qu Boyuan and spoke.

This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team. Qu Boyuan is not a pedantic old man who sticks to the old ways.

Originally it was their Qu family who did something wrong, so he naturally would not blame Xie Qingya for his attitude.

If he was upset with Xie Qingya, it was only because he had fallen into depravity.

"Go ahead." He said.

After hearing this, Changfeng hurriedly bowed to everyone and immediately drove his carriage back to the palace.

When they were far away, Changfeng heard the prince's voice coming from behind him: "What happened yesterday?"

At this point, Changfeng naturally dared not hide the truth.

He told everyone everything that Lingji had said to him yesterday.

He felt ashamed.

He never thought that such a thing would happen the first time he hid the truth from the prince. If something really happened to the girl, he would be doomed.

"I didn't handle this properly. I will take the punishment myself when I return!"

Xie Qingya said nothing.

But he knew in his heart that Chang Ning must have kept this secret from them. As for Xu Duanyi... she had always been careful, so she must have noticed something and that's why she called Fuqiu over.

Just thinking about this, Xie Qingya felt more and more that he was not qualified to be a brother.

That’s how it used to be.

It's still like this today!

He clenched his fists and suddenly slammed the carriage hard.

After hearing this, Changfeng drove even faster.

The master and servant spoke in silence along the way.

When they arrived at the palace, the gatekeepers and servants were extremely surprised. Why did the masters all come back so early today?

The princess just came back with the girl.

At this time, the prince, who always came home late, also came back.

Strange is strange.

Seeing the prince getting off the carriage, the servant immediately stepped forward and greeted him: "Prince."

Xie Qingya ignored him.

After getting off the carriage, he walked straight inside with a sullen face.

"Brother Chang, what happened to the prince?" The gate servant was puzzled and asked Changfeng who had not yet caught up.

Changfeng, however, also had an unhappy expression on his face. Instead of answering, he asked, "Have the princess and the girl returned?"

The servant nodded and replied, "She's back. It's really strange today. The girl actually came back with the princess. Isn't it time to go home from school yet? Hey, Brother Chang..."

Changfeng has gone far.

He quickly ran behind Xie Qingya, and then asked someone at random, and found out that the girl had already returned to Huajian Xiaozhu.

The master and servant walked towards the cottage among the flowers together.

At this time, Xu Duanyi and Xie Changning in Huajian Cottage did not know that Xie Qingya had returned.

Since returning to the mansion.

Xie Changning seemed restless and asked Fuqiu to prepare the soles of the shoes while he himself began to prepare the needle and thread. He also took out the four treasures of the study and placed them on the bed, apparently preparing to draw a pattern first.

At this moment, the aunt and sister-in-law were sitting on the bed facing each other, separated by a small table, with their heads lowered, drawing patterns.

Xu Duanyi is good at painting.

Sometimes just a few simple strokes can make the things in the painting seem alive.

The chief editor is still Xie Changning.

The patterns she thought of were the background colors she painted.

Xu Duanyi just gave some extra help.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are so awesome!" Xie Changning stared at her with starry eyes and praised Xu Duanyi generously.

Xu Duanyi was about to laugh when he suddenly heard hurried and heavy footsteps coming from outside the window. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xie Qingya walking in.

Xie Changning did not notice what was happening in the yard.

She noticed Xu Duanyi's gaze first.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Xie Changning asked as he followed Xu Duanyi's gaze and looked outside, but he only saw a figure that flashed by and Changfeng who was standing in the corridor, looking anxious.

"Chang, brother, what's going on?"

Before she could finish her words, Xie Changning heard a series of anxious footsteps coming from the house and getting closer and closer to her.

She finally realized something was wrong.

Following the sound, she saw her second brother, dressed in official uniform, striding towards her.

"Second brother, you..."

I haven't reacted yet as to why my second brother came over at this time. I also don't understand why he looks so unhappy right now.

Xie Changning was held by the arm by Xie Qingya, who examined him carefully from head to toe.

"Second brother?"

Xie Changning was grabbed by the arm, and still looked confused.

She looked at Xie Qingya with a dull expression.

Still don't understand what happened.

Xu Duanyi understood that Xie Qingya already knew everything.

Looking at the anxiety and worry that could not be hidden under his dark face, Xu Duanyi looked at him and sighed silently. She did not choose to speak at this time, but sat quietly aside and watched the brother and sister talk.

"Are you hurt?"

I don't know how much time passed.

Seeing that there were no external injuries, Xie Qingya asked Xie Changning in a hoarse voice.

Xie Changning shook his head subconsciously.

Finally I realized that my second brother probably already knew...

Not knowing how her second brother knew about this, Xie Changning couldn't help but feel a little worried. Especially when she saw her second brother's ugly expression at the moment, Xie Changning became even more nervous.

Xie Changning's subconscious reaction was to worry that his second brother would be angry.

She knelt on the bed, straightened up, looked up, and asked cautiously: "Second brother, are you angry?"

But these words made Xie Qingya lose control and his eyes turned red.

He looked at Xie Changning, speechless.

Suddenly, he reached out and hugged the person in his arms.

"... Changning, I'm sorry."

Xie Qingya's deep and hoarse voice contained an undisguised sense of self-blame.

Xu Duanyi was watching from the side and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

She knew that Xie Qingya certainly didn't want others to see her like this, so she didn't disturb the siblings.

She moved lightly, stood up and walked out.

Fuqiu and Changfeng were standing outside the door, both of them had red eyes.

When they saw Xu Duanyi coming out, they calmed down and wanted to call her, but Xu Duanyi made a gesture to them to be quiet.

They were not allowed to make a sound.

So as not to disturb the brother and sister inside.

"I'm going back first."

Xu Duanyi spoke softly to Fuqiu, nodded to Changfeng, and walked out first.

She heard Changning's voice coming from inside the house.

She was still carefully comforting Xie Qingya.

"Second brother, don't be sad, I, I'm fine."

Xu Duanyi felt a little sad for the two brothers and sisters, but after the sadness, she also felt happy.

I guess after today, they, the brother and sister, will be able to go back to the way they were before.

Even if we can't go back to the past immediately, at least it won't be like before.

This made Xu Duanyi happy.

The weather was good. Xu Duanyi raised his head, took a deep breath, and then left without hesitation.

Xie Changning, who was in the house, also noticed Xu Duanyi's departure.

Not knowing where his sister-in-law had gone, Xie Changning hurriedly patted Xie Qingya on the back and said anxiously, "Second brother, sister-in-law, sister-in-law is gone!"

Xie Qingya was previously immersed in a mood of self-blame and regret, and did not notice Xu Duanyi leaving.

Looking at it now and thinking about it for a while, he knew why Xu Duanyi left.

Seeing Chang Ning's anxious face, Xie Qingya whispered, "I'll go find her."

He should have thanked her in person.

Xie Changning heaved a sigh of relief when he heard him say this.

Like Aunt Deng, she was usually keen on bringing them together, hoping that they could live in harmony and grow old together like other loving couples.

Seeing his second brother at this time, Xie Changning finally managed to express his emotions, which naturally made him much bolder.

She mustered up her courage and said to Xie Qingya, "Second brother, my sister-in-law has helped me a lot. You, you have to be good to my sister-in-law. Don't, don't bully her."

Xie Qingya did not remain silent this time.

Instead, under Xie Changning's gaze, he nodded.

A moment later.

Xie Qingya called Fuqiu in.

As soon as Fuqiu came in, she knelt down before Xie Qingya.

However, Xie Qingya did not reprimand her at this time. He just said something to her and then walked out.

Xie Changning watched him leave and breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, she was particularly afraid of encountering such a situation, fearing that her two brothers would feel guilty and sad after knowing it, or act impulsively and offend others.

But now it seems.

Maybe my sister-in-law is right.

Some things really shouldn't be hidden from them.

Rather than letting her brothers know from others and feel even more guilty and sad, it would be better for her to tell them in person.

Most importantly, she is not afraid at all now!

Now she could tell her two brothers with a smile, asking them not to be angry, and she was no longer afraid of those people.

My sister-in-law is right.

Those who only know how to suppress and bully others are losers and the most useless people!

Thinking like this——

Xie Changning also gradually made up his mind.

I should have a good talk with my third brother tonight.

Otherwise my third brother would get even more angry when he finds out.

and.

She looked in the direction her second brother left, with a little idea in her mind.

…

the other side.

Not long after Xu Duanyi left, he suddenly heard a shout from behind him -

"Xu Duanyi!"

In this palace, there is naturally only one person who can call her like this.

But Xu Duanyi, at first, thought that he was hallucinating.

It was not until the footsteps behind her got closer that Xu Duanyi turned around in confusion and actually saw Xie Qingya striding towards her.

Eyes met.

Xu Duanyi stared in a daze at Xie Qingya who was walking towards her.

It was not until Xie Qingya got closer and closer to her, until he was only an inch away from her, that Xu Duanyi came to her senses.

"What's wrong?"

She asked Xie Qingya.

She thought something happened in Changning, or Xie Qingya wanted to ask her something.

But what she waited for was Xie Qingya's solemn thanks.

"Thank you for the Changning matter."

Actually, when Xu Duanyi learned about this yesterday, he was also worried that hiding it for Changning would make Xie Qingya unhappy.

Now it seems, not.

Seeing the serious expression on Xie Qingya's face, Xu Duanyi's expression became more and more relaxed.

She smiled and said softly, "This is what I should do."

After saying this, before Xie Qingya could speak, Xu Duanyi suddenly remembered what Xie Qingya had told her that day, asking her not to meddle in his affairs.

Fearing that Xie Qingya might misunderstand him, Xu Duanyi did not wait for anyone to speak before adding: "I didn't intend to intervene in your affairs, but Changning and Ping'an were also raised under my watch."

"To me, they are no different than my brothers and sisters."

"If they have something to do, I can't just ignore it."

When Xie Qingya saw her rushing to explain, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Although he was the one who brought it up.

But seeing that Xu Duanyi really looked like he wanted to draw a clear line between them, Xie Qingya felt depressed and uncomfortable, and also felt sorry for Xu Duanyi.

He was silent for a while.

Under Xu Duanyi's gaze, Xie Qingya lowered his eyelids and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I know."

"Thank you."

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid... I don't know when I would know this."

As Xie Qingya spoke, his expression became gloomy again.

The hands on both sides of the body were also clenched tightly, refusing to let go.

He thought that as long as they stayed away from Changning and Ping'an, they would be able to live a more comfortable life. However, he never expected that Changning had suffered so much behind the scenes!

He caused his father and brother to become like that, and caused his mother to be extremely sad, and eventually she passed away.

Now, he couldn't even protect his only two relatives.

Xie Qingya didn't know what he had done.

What kind of brother is he!

Is he worthy of being their brother? !

A huge sense of self-blame and regret filled Xie Qingya's heart. It was a sad and stubborn emotion that could not be concealed even if he tried.

Xu Duanyi could naturally see it.

She looked at the tall and upright young man in front of her, who was now lowering his head, looking lonely and pitiful.

This made her heart start to feel sour again.

She wanted to hug him.

She wanted to hold him in her arms and tell him that it was not his fault.

But Xu Duanyi's hands on her side were only lifted slightly, and then she forced them to put them down again.

"Xie Qingya."

She stood in front of him and called him softly.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, he slowly raised his curtains and looked towards her.

There is still confusion in his eyes.

Xu Duanyi looked at him and continued, "I asked Changning before, and she told me that she never blamed you."

Under Xie Qingya's stunned gaze.

Xu Duanyi told everyone everything Chang Ning had said to her before, without reservation: "She told me that you have a hard time, harder than them."

"Not only her, but Uncle Xie, Brother Xie, and Aunt Xie, they also never blamed you."

“Even peace.”

When she saw Xie Qingya, her eyes instantly turned red and she couldn't help wanting to cry.

But Xu Duanyi still smiled and said to Xie Qingya in a relaxed manner, "So you don't have to blame yourself so much."

"They actually never blamed you. They all like you very much and care about you."

Under Xu Duanyi's gentle and bright gaze, Xie Qingya's eyes turned red as if they were almost bleeding. He looked at Xu Duanyi, unable to utter a word.

Sudden.

He turned around and faced away from Xu Duanyi.

Xu Duanyi knew why he was like that, but she didn't say anything and didn't ask.

She just quietly looked at Xie Qingya's tense figure and his shoulders shaking slightly.

After a while, Xie Qingya stood up again, but still turned his back to her and said, "...I understand. Thank you very much."

He no longer knew how many times he had said thank you to Xu Duanyi.

There is no use in saying thanks.

But apart from saying this, he didn't know what else to say.

"I'll go see Changning again." He said hoarsely with his back to Xu Duanyi.

Xu Duanyi said yes in a gentle voice.

Xie Qingya hesitated for a while before walking forward without looking back. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. Xu Duanyi watched him leave from where she was, and when he was far away and out of sight, she turned around and walked towards Linfeng Pavilion.

…

But this night.

The three siblings of the Xie family came to Linfeng Pavilion for dinner together.
