Chapter 77: Which good guy keeps staring at someone else’s pretty girl?
Sang Zhixia is still furious when she thinks about how she was drugged and stuffed into the bridal sedan.
Xu Yu sensed something was wrong. It felt as if the bed board was covered with countless sharp spikes, which pricked him so much that his whole body became numb and uncomfortable.
He swallowed, moved closer to the wall, and whispered, "Zhizhi, I told my mother and grandfather that I wanted to marry you."
Because Xu Wenxiu got the wrong engagement partner out of impatience, it did cause quite a stir in the Xu family.
But Xu Yu was stubborn and refused to give in even if the old man beat him until he was bloody.
The elders of the Xu family couldn't persuade him, so they could only do as he wished. They quickly informed the Sang family and the candidate they agreed on was Sang Zhixia.
He was beaten half to death by the old man for the exchange of people, and was forced to be paralyzed in bed for several months to survive. He was only happy that his wish was fulfilled, and had no idea what the situation was like outside.
However, the Sang family did not disclose the Xu family's intention to replace the person, and even told different stories internally and externally. Therefore, it was not until before the wedding that Sang Zhixia...
"So you wanted to marry me because we met once in the temple?"
Sang Zhixia's expression in the darkness became extremely amused: "Just because of that handkerchief? That handkerchief is not mine. I was just a maidservant for my eldest sister when she went out, so..."
"I've already burned that thing, and now I can't even find the ashes!"
Xu Yu's alert reflex made Sang Zhixia sneer: "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Is it really because you met me that once?"
Xu Yu was silent for a long time, then said in a dazed voice, "I don't know either."
I just saw it at that time and remembered it afterwards.
When Xu Wenxiu was once again worried about his marriage and cried, he was urged so hard that he blurted out that he wanted to marry a girl from the Sang family.
If he had known that such a storm would arise later, he should have explained it in more detail at the time.
It would be best to give Xu Wenxiu a hand-drawn portrait and let her use it to find her lover.
Sang Zhixia stared at the shack above her head, her heart beating like a drum and she was unable to say much.
After a long silence, Xu Yu said softly, "If I had known that the Xu family would suffer such a disaster, I might have been calmer."
He wanted to pick the delicate flower in his heart and take it home, but he never thought that he would let his newlywed wife suffer with him.
After all, his wishful thinking was a curse rather than a blessing for Sang Zhixia.
Xu Yu couldn't help himself after thinking about it.
He propped up half his body with his arms, looked down at Sang Zhixia's closed eyes and said softly, "Zhizhi, have you ever thought about marrying me?"
"Will you marry me?"
Sang Zhixia was a little amused by his question: "Brother, is this something I want to do?"
"You didn't ask me when you made this decision, did you?"
"But……"
"It's already like this, what's the point of saying this earlier?"
Sang Zhixia turned over to avoid his burning gaze and said vaguely, "Xu Yu, it's all over."
She had no idea what the original owner felt at the time. Given her current situation, she really didn't have much objection to this forced marriage.
No matter how many miscellaneous troubles there are, at least Xu Yu is not bad!
She is good-looking and strong, abides by the rules and respects others, and is even considerate and thoughtful in an imperceptible way. For someone like her who takes over midway, this bad hand of cards is already very good.
If he could live a peaceful and stable life, wouldn't that be an alternative way to meet Aunt Xie's expectations at the time?
After Sang Zhixia finished speaking, she pretended to go to sleep. Xu Yu leaned on his arms, feeling very uncomfortable.
He looked down on his cheap father-in-law's seizure and promiscuity, but if he thought about it carefully, wasn't his one-sided love also so inhumane to Sang Zhixia?
wrong……
A person flashed through Xu Yu's mind. He tried to hold back but couldn't help it. He twisted Sang Zhixia's shoulders and turned her around. He said solemnly to his face, "Zhizhi."
Sang Zhixia was speechless: "What?"
"You don't want to marry me, do you already have someone in your heart?"
Three question marks suddenly appeared above Sang Zhixia's head.
What are you talking about, brother?!
The eldest brother was still rambling wildly: "The day we first met, I happened to see you climbing over the wall and trying to escape. Were you trying to see your cousin?"
cousin? ? ?
Sang Zhixia gritted her teeth, her head full of black lines: "What cousin am I?"
"That cousin who's temporarily staying at your house!"
Xu Yu, desperate for help, blurted out, "I've been asking around since I came out of the temple. That distant cousin named Xie Nianshen has lived with the Sang family for nearly three years. He was quite close to you during that time. I also heard that he planned to propose marriage to the Sang family after his Spring Imperial Examination. Could it be you?"
If there hadn't been such an annoying person stuck in the middle who seemed like a hidden danger, he wouldn't have been so anxious as to make a mistake in choosing the right person!
Sang Zhixia originally wanted to refute it forcefully, but when the words came to her lips, many vague fragments suddenly flashed through her mind.
Thank you Nianshen...
There seems to be such a person?!
But……
With a dark face, she pried Xu Yu's hands apart, feeling inexplicably insecure: "That's not true. Shut up and go to sleep!"
Xu Yu stared at her gravely. After a while, seeing her fluttering eyes, his handsome face fell: "Zhizhi, you lied to me."
Sang Zhixia had no way to defend herself: "I didn't do it, I didn't do it!"
"Then why don't you dare look at me?"
"Of course that's because..."
Sang Zhixia blinked rapidly, forcing herself to speak with a guilty conscience: "Of course it's because I'm sleepy. That's right, that's why!"
Xu Yu seemed to be depressed and annoyed. He sat up straight with his face as dark as a demon that lurked at night.
Sang Zhixia's head swelled up, and she felt like fuming. "What are you doing so late at night? What you're talking about are all old stories, and the person I was talking about wasn't like that at all!"
Xie Nianshen might be somewhat coveting the position of son-in-law of the Sang family, but the Sang family has five daughters, big and small, including her!
Xie Nianshen treats every unmarried girl with tenderness and care, and it is obvious that he is casting a wide net to catch fish. Is he blind to be interested in such a girl?
Sang Zhixia was still trying to explain, but Xu Yu's voice rang out faintly, "He's not a good person."
"What the hell?"
"I say, Xie Nianshen is definitely not a good person."
Xu Yu squeezed closer to Sang Zhixia under her ghostly gaze and analyzed seriously, "A person who is temporarily staying in someone else's mansion is still separated by the barriers of gender, which are difficult to break. If he has any sense of etiquette and knows when to advance and retreat, he should take the initiative to keep his distance from the girls in the mansion, so as not to damage the reputation of the girls and accidentally cause disaster."
"But he didn't do that."
On the contrary, Xie Nianshen was very enthusiastic towards each of them, sending food today and care tomorrow, and he used the name of cousins to constantly show off.
After a moment's hesitation, Xu Yu concluded, "This boy has ill intentions and ulterior motives."
"Zhizhi, he is not a good person."
Don't be fooled by his pretend appearance!
Sang Zhixia didn't expect him to analyze this so seriously. After a moment of shock, she nodded in agreement: "I know, so I didn't hit on him, did I?"
Xu Yu seemed somewhat satisfied, and spared no effort to analyze: "And think about it, when you encountered crisis and trouble, he just stood by and watched. This is very different from his previous gentle and considerate attitude. How can such a person be sincere?"
"He is hypocritical and insincere. He appears to be a gentleman but is actually full of filth!"
Simply put, Xie Nianshen, who was considered a gentleman in the original owner's memory, was a hypocrite.
Authenticated by Xu Yu.
Sang Zhixia lost her sleepiness after being pestered by him, and asked jokingly, "What about you?"
"Are you a good person?"
Xu Yu didn't expect the conversation to turn to him. He paused, his expression innocent, and said sincerely, "As for me, I'm certainly not a good person..."
"Whose good guy keeps staring at someone else's pretty girl?"
He curled up his fingertips and tangled up Sang Zhixia's long hair that was scattered on the pillow, feeling the softness of his fingertips and chuckling softly. What was revealed between the lines was unspeakable strength and unbridled malice.
"When my grandfather whipped me until I couldn't get up, I had only one thought in my mind: if I had been even half a step late and that Xie guy had succeeded in his deception, I would have snatched my bride away in the street."
"Even if you hate me and hate me, even if I get cursed, I will take you home."
Under Sang Zhixia's stunned gaze, he relaxed his strength and leaned against her through the quilt, saying with considerable pride, "If Xie is a hypocrite, then I might be the most arrogant bastard you've ever seen."
"Zhizhi, I'm really not a good person."
If we have to say what makes him better than Xie, it is probably that he dares to face the badness of his own nature.
In other words, Your Majesty, I am a bastard with a clear conscience, and my main theme is that I am a complete idiot, but I will never pretend!
