Chapter 053 Chapter 53

Xu Duanyi originally thought that under circumstances like today, she would not have dinner with Changning and Ping'an.

After all, Xie Qingya already knows about it, and Changning will definitely not be able to hide it from Ping An.

She had no intention of disturbing their conversation.

Unexpectedly, when it was almost time for dinner, Changning actually came with his two brothers.

At that time.

Bixi was asking her if she wanted food.

Xu Duanyi wasn't actually hungry yet, but it was almost time for dinner. Just as he was about to nod, he heard Xiuyu walking in quickly and reporting this.

At that time, Xu Duanyi was sitting on the bed by the window. After listening to Xiuyu's report, she subconsciously looked out the window.

At this time, the sky was not yet completely dark.

Xu Duanyi saw the three siblings walking in from outside the yard.

Xie Changning, who was protected in the middle by Xie Qingya and Xie Ping'an, was the first to wave to her with a smile after seeing her.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"

Unlike her two brothers, both of whom had gloomy expressions.

Xie Changning's little face was as bright and beautiful as a blooming flower.

Before Xu Duanyi could stand up to greet them, Xie Changning had already run towards her with her skirt lifted.

"Slow down."

"Xie Changning, slow down."

Xie Qingya and Xie Ping'an looked at her, frowned and spoke at the same time. After the words came out, the two of them looked at each other again.

But after just one glance, Xie Pingan turned his face away and withdrew his gaze.

Xie Qingya didn't look at him all the time.

After Xie Ping'an turned his head, he also retracted his gaze. He didn't know where to put his eyes, and finally could only look at the familiar courtyard in front of him.

When I arrived that night, it was already dark and I could only see a few lanterns hanging under the corridor, swaying. It was nowhere near as clear as it is now.

It looks no different from before.

But it's not that nothing has changed.

There were obviously many more potted plants in the yard that had not been there before, and it looked much more lively than when he first lived there.

But now, he actually doesn't have the mind to look at other things.

At this moment, all his attention was attracted by the person in front of him.

I didn't expect that I would actually follow him.

Although it was Changning who asked, he could have refused it completely.

But just now——

This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team. He hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

But now that he was getting closer and closer to her, Xie Qingya's inner uneasiness was magnified infinitely, especially when he thought about how he had just cried in front of Xu Duanyi.

Xie Qingya felt even more embarrassed.

Even though his back was facing away at the time.

But Xu Duanyi was so smart, she must have seen that he had just cried.

Xie Qingya felt very embarrassed.

In his entire life, he had only cried like that in front of his mother.

Even his father and his elder brother have never seen it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Duanyi saw it.

This awkward and embarrassing feeling made Xie Qingya even more unsure of how to face Xu Duanyi, so he just looked around, pretending to be very busy.

Xu Duanyi had already come out to greet them and was talking to Changning inside the house.

"Why are you here at this time?" It was too sudden. Xu Duanyi didn't understand that they came to have dinner with her.

I was just shocked.

I thought something happened.

Xie Changning is not unfamiliar at all now.

She liked Xu Duanyi more and more, and she was naturally happy because she had solved a big problem. This book was compiled exclusively for you by the LK team. When the little girl was happy, she couldn't hide it at all.

She took Xu Duanyi's arm and said in an undisguised way, "Let's go find sister-in-law and have dinner together. Can we?"

The little girl looked at Xu Duanyi with sparkling eyes.

It softens people's hearts.

Even the most hard-hearted person couldn't say no, especially since Xu Duanyi already liked her.

"Of course."

Xu Duanyi agreed with a smile, then thought of something and looked forward again.

The brothers Xie Ping'an and Xie Qingya were walking towards them, one in front and one behind.

Peace will come.

Xu Duanyi was not surprised.

These brother and sister have always been in perfect harmony.

What's more, after something like that happened, I'm afraid Ping An will be unable to separate from Chang Ning for a while.

Thanks to Qingya for coming with them. Xu Duanyi had never expected that.

I think it was Changning who spoke first.

After all, the little girl has suffered for so long.

I'm afraid that even if Changning wants the stars in the sky, Xie Qingya will have to find a way to pick them for him.

Xu Duanyi didn't know what to say.

She understood Chang Ning's thoughts, but Xie Qingya...

"Sister-in-law."

Xie Ping'an walked over and greeted Xu Duanyi first.

During this half month, Xie Ping'an was no longer as wary of Xu Duanyi as he was at the beginning.

Especially after what happened today.

Xie Pingan is now grateful to his sister-in-law from the bottom of his heart.

If my sister-in-law hadn't noticed it in advance, given Xie Changning's temper, who knows how long he would have kept the secret from them!

I don’t even know how badly I’ll be bullied!

Although it had been a while since Changning told him this.

But Xie Pingan was still very unhappy.

If Chang Ning hadn't stopped him just now, he would have wanted to run directly to the Qu family and the mansions of those people and make a big fuss!

So that they know that his sister is not so easy to bully!

In the end, under Changning's advice, he suppressed his temper and did not go directly.

Later, Changning asked him to come here for dinner.

He didn't hesitate and followed along.

He can tell good from bad.

Naturally, I was grateful to Xu Duanyi from the bottom of my heart.

At this time, he bowed respectfully to Xu Duanyi, bent over and called her sister-in-law, obviously accepting her from the bottom of his heart.

I'm afraid I recognize her more than I recognize Xie Qingya.

Xu Duanyi was originally still thinking about what happened with Xie Qingya, but when she saw the young man in front of her like this, she felt surprised and happy.

Xu Duanyi hurried forward and helped the man up himself: "We are all family, there is no need to be so particular."

After Xie Pingan is back.

Xu Duanyi then looked again at Xie Qingya who followed him in.

The couple met face to face.

Their eyes met, and Xie Qingya subconsciously wanted to turn away, but he thought that if he really did so, Xu Duanyi would probably have mixed feelings again.

He also didn't want to see her nervous and awkward.

Finally, he stopped despite the embarrassment. Under Xu Duanyi's hesitant gaze, he coughed lightly and said, "...Come over and have a free meal."

Xu Duanyi saw him say this.

The originally hesitant mood naturally became much more relaxed.

Since Xie Qingya was not unhappy, Xu Duanyi naturally wouldn't say anything.

She smiled and said yes, then turned to Bixi and said, "Tell the kitchen to send dinner to Linfeng Pavilion."

This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team, and Bixi is also happy to see her master happy.

At this time he smiled and went down to give the order.

soon.

Dinner was served.

This was the first time the four of them had dinner together after so many years.

Xie Changning was undoubtedly the happiest one.

At the table.

She is the busiest.

Sometimes he was talking, sometimes he was serving them food, he was very busy and having fun.

"Xie Changning, eat yours." Xie Pingan frowned and said to her, thinking that she was not eating well.

Xie Changning chuckled: "I ate it. I ate it."

Seeing that she was happy, Xu Duanyi also smiled.

She also gave someone a piece of her favorite meatballs, and said to them, "Eat slowly."

"good!"

Xie Changning nodded.

After saying this, she turned her eyes and looked at her sister-in-law beside her, and then looked at her second brother beside her sister-in-law.

Suddenly, she said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

Xu Duanyi tilted his head to look at her, hummed, and asked her, "What's wrong?"

Xie Changning looked at her and said, "Can we still come to your place to eat together in the future?"

"Me, you, the third brother, and the second brother, we will be together from now on."

"Ok, ok?"

Xu Duanyi was stunned.

She looked at Changning's bright eyes that were filled with expectation.

Of course she can, no problem.

Eating alone is bound to feel lonely, so it is certainly good to have them with you.

Besides, they usually eat together, and now it's just a matter of changing the place.

Thanks to Qingya...

Xu Duanyi couldn't help but look to the side.

Xie Qingya happened to look up at her.

When their eyes met, both of them were a little surprised, and subconsciously, they turned their faces away.

Xie Changning said from the side: "Second brother, is it good or not?"

This is asking what Xie Qingya meant.

It is indeed difficult for Xie Qingya to refuse her now.

Too much guilt.

Just as Xu Duanyi had just thought.

Even if Xie Changning really wanted the stars and the moon, I'm afraid he would have thought of ways to see if he could satisfy people.

Under Xie Changning's expectant gaze.

Xie Qingya was silent for a moment, but finally did not refuse. Instead, he looked at Xu Duanyi beside him.

He looked at Xu Duanyi and asked her softly, "Is it okay?"

Xu Duanyi blinked when asked.

It seemed that she had not expected that Xie Qingya would ask her what she meant.

She first looked at Xie Qingya seriously for a while.

To make sure whether he really asked her what she thought or wanted her to refuse.

Watched for a while.

She also didn't see any sign that Xie Qingya wanted her to refuse.

Xu Duanyi guessed that he was doing this for Changning, so she didn't hesitate any longer. After a brief moment of distraction, when she regained her senses, she looked at him and said, "Of course."

Xie Changning was very happy to see that she agreed.

“Yeah!”

Her joy was unreserved.

Thank you for being safe but very upset.

Now, he no longer minds having meals with his sister-in-law.

Come to Linfengge.

It's just a few more steps.

But Xie Qingya is also there...

He is still not used to eating at the same table with others.

But looking at Xie Changning's happy face, Xie Pingan didn't say anything to spoil his mood. He just said bluntly, "Eat!"

In his hand, he picked up another piece of pork ribs with preserved plums with his chopsticks.

Xie Changning said yes with a smile, and then looked at Xie Qingya, and urged him cleverly, "Second brother, sister-in-law likes to eat the dish in front of you."

Xie Qingya certainly knew what she meant.

He looked at Xu Duanyi beside him.

Xu Duanyi blinked when he looked at her.

Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Xie Qingya had already picked up a piece of Artemisia selengensis with chopsticks and put it in her bowl.

"Let's eat."

Xie Qingya's voice came to my ears.

When Xu Duanyi looked over, Xie Qingya had already sat down again to eat.

Xu Duanyi looked at him, then looked at the green vegetable in her bowl, and her eyebrows gradually curved.

She whispered "OK".

The first time, the four of us had dinner together.

But at the dinner table, apart from Xie Changning, only Xu Duanyi said a few words. The two brothers of the Xie family were just guests and listeners. They were very silent and did not take the initiative to speak.

Only occasionally when Xie Changning mentioned them would they say a few words.

But the atmosphere is pretty good.

This was also the first time that Xu Duanyi had dinner with so many people after marrying into the palace.

She couldn't show it on her face, but she was very happy in her heart.

It's like drinking a cup of honey tea.

Even for dinner, I eat more than usual.

After the meal, Xie Changning cleverly took Xie Ping'an with him, said goodbye to the two of them, and left.

Before the two could say anything, the brother and sister had already walked away.

Xu Duanyi and Xie Qingya, who were caught off guard, were silent for a moment.

I just sat on the chair, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the maids were waiting outside the house.

Without the siblings Changning and Ping'an, only Xie Qingya and Xu Duanyi were left in the house.

The two people who looked calm just now.

Sitting together now, it's inevitable that things will become a little awkward.

They all looked like they didn't know what to say.

In this new house, since they got married, they have only spent one day together in the same environment.

...No, not even one day yet.

The dragon and phoenix candles and the wedding characters that filled the house are now long gone.

But it is better to keep your body sideways and steady.

That atmosphere seemed to be able to blow over his face and envelop him as usual.

At that time, Xie Qingya just felt bored and wanted to escape, the farther away from Xu Duanyi the better.

Now my mood has become much more complicated.

I still want to escape, but the feeling seems different from that time.

Xie Qingya himself couldn't explain it clearly.

My heart was still beating fast, like the beat of a drum.

As luck would have it, there was no sound outside, it was quiet, which made their place even quieter.

Too quiet.

Xie Qingya felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

He stood up almost subconsciously.

"...Well, I'll leave first too." He said to Xu Duanyi.

Xu Duanyi was also a little at a loss at this moment.

She just didn't know what to say to Xie Qingya, and when she heard Xie Qingya speak first, she didn't feel disappointed, but relieved.

She also took the opportunity to stand up and continued, "Then I will see the prince out."

Xie Qingya wanted to say no.

But he glanced at Xu Duanyi beside him and for some reason he couldn't bring himself to say no.

In the end, the words that were about to come out of my mouth turned into a light "hmm".
