Chapter 81 Snow on the Eaves (4) But Yanyan, you are not fair...
-Autumn is so deep, the sweet scent of osmanthus is the most
In the faint fragrance of osmanthus, the man reached out and covered Xie Yun's eyes. Xie Yun could not see him, but she knew who he was more clearly and deeply.
He kissed her madly with jealousy and anger in his heart, and he didn't give Xie Yun any room to resist.
When Xie Yun wanted to bite him, he put his thumb between her teeth to hold it there, so that no matter how hard she tried to bite, she could only bite his thumb.
Yan Huinan groaned in pain, but still held Xie Yun tightly, not letting go. How could he let go?
He thought he could cooperate with Xie Yun and pretend that they didn't know each other, but when he saw Wen Yao's hands around Xie Yun's waist and saw him lower his head to kiss Xie Yun, Yan Huinan felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe. The acid burned his heart and his internal organs.
He thought that he could endure without limit because he had nothing, but he suddenly realized that he had subconsciously decided that Xie Yun was his since childhood.
Anyone who bullied Xie Yun was bullying him. He couldn't tolerate it.
And now Wen Yao wanted to take Xie Yun away from him, which was simply like tearing his heart and organs out of his body.
Xie Yun, I’m in so much pain…
He was screaming madly in his heart, but his body was honestly begging for her favor.
Xie Yun was pinned to the wall, unable to move. Yan Huinan's fingers were so strong she couldn't bite them down. She could only let his tongue roam freely in her mouth, entwining his lips and tongue with hers. The saliva she secreted was also plundered by Yan Huinan.
She could only raise her hand and push him hard, but he was as steady as a rock and didn't move at all.
Although Yan Huinan's kiss was filled with jealousy and anger, he treated Xie Yun with piety and tenderness. He sucked Xie Yun's lips gently, and when his tongue entangled with hers, he guided her to follow his rhythm, just like six years ago.
At this moment, the fragrance of osmanthus enveloped the two of them, naturally bringing them into a fairyland of ecstasy, making them ecstatic. Although it was just a simple kiss, Xie Yun's body softened as if she had been soaked in hot spring water.
On the other side of the wall, there were the sounds of servants walking and chatting in the mansion. These sounds stimulated Xie Yun, and her heart almost jumped out. She didn't dare to shout loudly.
But at this moment, Yan Huinan put down his hand that was blocking her sight, slid along her ear, to her neck, and gradually moved back and down. Every inch of skin touched by his hot and rough fingertips made Xie Yun tremble.
His kiss also moved to her earlobe. He held her earlobe and sucked it a little bit, stimulating the edge of her earlobe with the tip of his tongue.
After six years, Xie Yun's body had become insensitive and could not withstand his teasing.
If someone discovered her and Yan Huinan entangled here, he would definitely be fearless and shamelessly admit it. This would actually play into his hands.
Yan Huinan's wanton kiss continued to move down. After he rubbed the skin of Xie Yun's neck with his teeth, just as he buried his head in sucking, Xie Yun seemed to have been struck by lightning, and immediately raised her hand to block his kiss.
At this time, the voices behind the wall gradually faded away.
Xie Yun finally got a chance to breathe. She gasped violently, "Get out of here."
Yan Huinan didn't say anything. Instead, he hugged her and buried his head deeply in her shoulder. His voice was hoarse and difficult, "He just kissed you? Really?"
Xie Yun was stunned. It turned out that there really was someone there.
It's really him.
Xie Yun felt no emotion when she thought of Wen Yao's face approaching her. But just now, she couldn't help but let Yan Huinan lead her...
Damn it!
She confirmed, "Yes. And this is only what you see. There are more in places you don't see."
Upon hearing this, Yan Huinan's heart sank to the bottom, and he seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant.
He was clearly the master of waiting, of endurance. He could wait years for revenge, just waiting for the day when his wish would come true. Trekking through the icy snow, awaiting the enemy's arrival, Yan Huinan lay in ambush beneath the thick snow. The icy snow couldn't freeze his blood. Even as birds in the forest landed on his shoulders and pecked at the dead branches clinging to his body, he remained motionless.
He's so good at enduring...
But now he had lost all his patience.
His mind seemed to be in disarray, and it was as if countless termites were gnawing at his body.
Yan Huinan's expression darkened. He wanted to kill Wen Yao. "Yan Yan, you are my wife. We are married. I will not allow..."
Before Yan Huinan could finish his words, Xie Yun slapped him mercilessly, "This is because you just offended me, Master Yan."
Yan Huinan was slapped hard on the face, and it hurt like fire.
But Yan Huinan didn't regret it at all.
He used the tip of his tongue to touch the inside of his mouth that had been slapped, a bitter smile on his face.
He was not surprised. It would be strange if she didn't slap him in his condition.
Then Xie Yun continued indifferently, "I don't understand what Master Yan is talking about. You said we're getting married, but have we ever been married before the heavens and the earth? Have we received the consent of our parents and the matchmaker? Have we gone through the three letters and six ceremonials? Have we ever sworn an oath to heaven? Who is Yanyan you're calling? I'm Yun Yun, not the Yanyan Master Yan is talking about. Perhaps Master Yan should think about where your wife has gone."
Every word and sentence is heart-wrenching.
Yan Huinan's pride melted like ice in front of Xie Yun. He knew Xie Yun was mocking him and blaming him.
He accepted it all. But he couldn't bear to watch Xie Yun really marry Wen Yao.
Xie Yun didn't dwell on this topic anymore, but instead asked Yan Huinan, "Was it you who caused the accident on the Wen family's cargo ship?"
Yan Huinan's eyes, as clear and glittering as a moonlit lake, were filled with only Xie Yun. He didn't argue, "I simply sent someone to check the list of people on the Wen family's voyage and investigate the cargo ship. It just so happened that they discovered a relative of the fugitive was on that ship, and we passed the news on. Even without me, the fugitive would have come looking for us when the cargo ship docked, having heard about it."
As soon as Yan Huinan finished speaking, Xie Yun raised her hand angrily and slapped him again, "You are so shameless! This crew member was hired by the Wen family. Why are you trying to implicate the entire Wen family because of this?!"
Yan Huinan admitted the previous slap. But he couldn't bear this one. She had slapped him for the Wen family, for Wen Yao.
Yan Huinan's voice grew colder. He grabbed Xie Yun's hand and pushed her against the wall again, saying sternly, "He's been on the run for years. He secretly sent his wife and daughter back to the Great Zhou using the Wen family's cargo ship! He'll just need to change his appearance and return on the Wen family's cargo ship. Do you really think the new husband you found for yourself is such a good man?"
He was now mad with jealousy, nearly losing his mind, but he quickly realized that his voice was a little too high and quickly restrained himself. "Even if the Wen family is truly innocent in this matter, it's only because they are bound by strict laws. If there were no laws, the Wen family would not dare to kill and rob, and even take lives for money. The Wen family has never been shy about such dirty things in the past. As long as it can protect the interests of the Wen family, human life and morality are nothing. Do you want to listen, Yanyan? I can go back five years, ten years, and I can find countless dirty deeds. Have you ever thought about how the Wen family has been able to defeat so many people and sit firmly on the throne of the imperial merchants for so many years? And Wen Yao, if nothing unexpected happens, he will be the helmsman of the Wen family in the future. Do you think he will be so clean?"
Xie Yun's frown deepened. She naturally knew that businessmen value profit. "What about you? You do such a thing. How can you be a good person?"
"I'm really not a good person. I'm a sinner. I've felt guilty all my life." Yan Huinan closed his eyes and slowly sighed out the foul air in his chest, feeling wronged and pitiful. "But Yanyan, this is not how you take sides. You're being unfair."
"I just delivered a message. Whether or not to transport people is not my decision."
"Is it impossible that you were the one who sent the person onto the boat?" Xie Yun asked back.
In many cases, just because he told the truth, the other party would not necessarily believe him. He did not blame Xie Yun for not believing him. Yan Huinan knew clearly that his trust in her had dropped to zero.
The prerequisite for starting over is not just love. Love is the easiest to wear away. Trust in the other person must also be rebuilt. This is like rebuilding a building after it collapses into ruins. It is very difficult.
This also takes time and patience.
So even if he explained to Xie Yun clearly the incident of setting fire to the mountain, with her current hatred for him, she might not forgive him even if she knew the truth.
So Yan Huinan had to wait a little longer.
Wait for the best time. Wait until Xie Yun is willing to believe him.
Yan Huinan was willing to rebuild slowly, but he was too afraid. He was too afraid that Xie Yun would abandon him completely before their trust was rebuilt.
So this was something he had no choice but to do. If necessary, he would still use thunderous means to stop Wen Yao.
Yan Huinan: "I could have. With my ability, I could have removed the Wen family's role as imperial merchant with just one word. But I didn't do it, Yanyan. You're so smart, how could you not understand? I didn't want to force you, I didn't want to embarrass you. But I'm also a human being, with flesh and blood, and I feel pain. I can't just watch you drift further and further away from me."
Xie Yun is now not at all confident about Wen Yao going alone. If Yan Huinan interferes, County Magistrate Cao will definitely not let Wen Yao go so easily.
She glared at Yan Huinan, lifted her skirt and started to leave, without even giving Yan Huinan a glance.
Yan Huinan held her back, lowered his head and looked at her deeply, his eyes filled with pleading: "Yanyan, we have a child. He is well-behaved and sensible, and he likes you very much. In the past six years, he has missed you as deeply as I have."
When Xie Yun heard this, the ice in her heart melted into a pool of water again.
How could she bear it? After just a short time together, she couldn't bear to part with the lovely Yan Lang. How could she accept that she would never see Yan Lang again?
She raised so many fatherless and motherless children, but she left her own children without a mother.
How cruel she must be...
But she also hated Yan Huinan for threatening her in this way.
So she stomped on Yan Huinan's foot viciously, "You are so wicked!"
After saying that, Xie Yun walked out without looking back. She was going to find Wen Yao now and try her best to minimize the risk.
-
Xie Yun had anticipated that the situation at the dock wouldn't be good, and she had also anticipated Yan Huinan's severity. However, she hadn't expected the situation to be as dire as it was now.
Even though it was already time to go to bed, someone spread the news that the Wen family was harboring a fugitive.
The area around the dock was already crowded with people.
When they were still some distance away from the pier, Xie Yun had to get off the carriage and walk there.
On the way here, she had already informed Xie Run and Fei Jing, who arrived a little later than Xie Yun. But when they arrived, Xie Yun was still stuck outside the crowd.
It was Xie Runliang who provided weapons and opened up a path for Xie Yun.
At the dock, County Captain Cao not only captured the fugitive, but also prepared to take Wen Yao back to the prison to await trial.
But the Wen family’s foundation is not so easy to shake.
Xie Yun hurried over, and when Wen Yao saw her coming, he immediately walked to her side.
But as soon as he lowered his head, he found that Xie Yun's lips were unusually red.
It's like... being kissed.
But he just raised his hand and took away the osmanthus flowers that fell in Xie Yun's hair.
Xie Yun looked at him puzzledly:?
Wen Yao smiled slightly and stretched out his hand, "There are osmanthus flowers falling on your hair."
Xie Yun saw the sweet-scented osmanthus and thought of what had just happened. She couldn't help biting her lip and said, "You still care about these things. What's going on now?"
"The boat was seized as soon as it docked, but the man who hid the fugitive escaped under cover of darkness, blending into the crowd and escaping. We're waiting now. If we can catch him tonight and spend some money, the matter will be resolved. As for the man who hid the fugitive, we just need to find someone who hid the fugitive and report him to the county lieutenant, and then we can investigate the whole story."
Xie Yun quickly shook her head, "I'm afraid this won't work."
She glanced at the fugitive coldly and whispered in Wen Yao's ear, "Before he returned, the fugitive had already smuggled his wife and children back with him, using the same Wen family merchant ship. Now we need to find them. Originally, the crime wouldn't have affected his children, but his wife and daughter were already criminals, and they fled with him. Now that they've smuggled back, they can't escape responsibility either. The Wen family needs their full cooperation. Only by finding the fugitive's family and the escaped sailor can we clear the Wen family from this matter."
Wen Yao and the county lieutenant hadn't thought about the fugitive's wife and children yet, and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Xie Yun heard it from Yan Huinan.
She changed the subject, "I guess, since he can use the Wen family's cargo ship to come back, his wife and children must be able to do so as well."
She didn't dare tell Wen Yao that she heard it from Yan Huinan.
