Chapter 80: Nice words cost nothing
"I know that I should forgive others when I can, but I can't put myself in a difficult position again and again just to satisfy the Sun family."
"Master Sun, can you be the master of your mother?" Lu Mingchao whispered and turned the tables.
I don’t know how Sun Zhiye, a gentleman like him, will respond.
Sun Zhiye's hands were hidden deep in his wide sleeves, clenched into fists, the veins on the back of his hands were exposed, and his head was lowered, so no one could see his expression clearly.
In the eyes of bystanders, they would only think that this person is well-mannered.
Xie Yan's face couldn't help but darken.
The banished immortal Lu Yao's cold and expressionless face seemed to reveal a bit of chilliness.
The wife of the county magistrate was filled with emotion, her spirit clear and her bones cold, free from worldly desires.
To some extent, Xie Yan and Lu Yao both have the characteristics of winter snow.
One is to kill.
Sad wind blows at dusk, and the snow falls day after day. I turn my ears but hear nothing, and my eyes see nothing.
One is cold and arrogant.
When I opened the door in the morning, the mountains were covered with snow. The snow had cleared and the clouds were light, the sunlight was cold.
It's not easy at all.
Sun Zhiye raised his head and said calmly, "I respect my parents and elders, but I respect justice and truth even more."
"My mother loves her son very much, and her concern is chaotic, and her words are inappropriate, but the son does not blame his mother. All the mistakes are my negligence."
"I hope Madam Xie can give me and the Sun family a chance to atone for my sins."
Lu Mingchao smiled but said nothing.
Very good, and you know how to find excuses to show your concern.
This is no different from the mother of the naughty child's excuse that he is just a child and you should stop bothering with him.
What a gentleman.
In the crowd, Mrs. Sun tried hard to reduce her presence.
Zhiye said frankly that it was she who was not allowed to attend the plum blossom viewing banquet because she hurried over after Zhiye left.
She could even imagine Zhiye blaming her like a wolf cub after they returned home from the plum blossom viewing party.
It's shameful to be a mother like her.
County Magistrate Xu is sick, right?
It was a nice plum blossom viewing banquet with separate seats for men and women, but this drama had to happen.
"Master Sun, there is no need to be so humble."
"My feud with Young Master Sun has already been settled in court. Today, Young Master Sun's selfless and righteous words have cleared my precarious reputation. This is more than enough."
"The past is gone. There is no use in talking about it again."
She can also come up with nice words at no cost.
"Besides, I'm not the one who deserves compensation the most."
"From now on, we will only talk about new things."
Therefore, no matter who in the Sun family offends her again, she will still show no mercy.
After all, one thing is one thing.
"Madam Xie is a great woman, I admire you." Sun Zhiye bowed again.
County Magistrate Xu clapped his hands and said, "It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Once it is out in the open, it will be easier to talk about it."
"The view from the Lakeside Pavilion is truly amazing, and it feels like a fairyland surrounded by clouds and mist."
"It would be better to set up a screen to divide it into two parts, and set up a seat for men here as well, so that they can recite poems, play the zither, paint, and appreciate plum blossoms."
"Okay?"
He accepted another stack of banknotes from Sun Zhiye, determined to do things well.
Just as Sun Zhiye was trying to humble himself and clear up the past grudges, the brainless Mrs. Sun came up with something else to add fuel to the fire.
With Sun Zhiye here, Mrs. Sun should be able to keep a lid on her words.
On one side is Sun Zhiye, who has a lot of experience and is about to make a breakthrough; on the other side is Lu Mingchao, who is like a dragon in shallow water and a tiger in a plain. He wants to have the best of both worlds.
Not to mention, Lu Mingchao also has an elder brother who is famous for his talent.
This complex and multi-faceted relationship is worth his effort.
After sharing the same bed for many years, no one knows a husband better than his wife. The county magistrate’s wife smiled and agreed, “Of course.”
Her preference for Lu Mingchao does not mean she has given up on Sun Zhiye.
We still have to take the old man's thoughts into consideration.
At a command, maids and servants lifted up a foldable screen to separate the quiet and elegant lakeside pavilion with water views on all sides.
Before Xie Yan took his seat, he winked at Lu Mingchao.
Lu Mingchao shook his head, indicating that she had not suffered any loss.
She won't lose when it comes to talking.
As for knife skills, even if she is not an expert, she can still show a few tricks. There is not much else, mainly pots, bowls, pans, knives, hammers, scissors and axes.
Xie Yan felt relieved, and his tense brows gradually relaxed.
Lu Yao, who witnessed this scene, smiled, and his voice as thin as a mosquito flew into Xie Yan's ears, "You believe in Chao Chao."
"Well, believe her." Xie Yan did not feel embarrassed by being teased. His stern face showed a gentleness like water.
Weird and harmonious.
Somehow, Lu Yao suddenly recalled the scene when he first met Xie Yan.
If I count carefully, it should be the winter two years ago.
It was also a snowy day, and the white snow covered the houses and streets of Changxi Village.
Everyone in Changxi Village thought that Xie Yan temporarily entrusted his children to Mrs. Qi, while he himself ventured into the mountains to hunt for dozens of days and nights.
However, in the middle of the night, when everything was quiet except for the howling of the north wind and the heavy snow, Xie Yan returned from outside the village.
With a raised hand, he twisted the neck of the person following him, and the bright red blood fell to the snow, which instantly turned cold and black.
Xie Yan dragged the dead body into the endless mountains with an indifferent expression.
If he hadn't liked to wear light-colored robes and was not far away, so that the wind obscured his breathing, Xie Yan would have killed him without hesitation after discovering him.
The bright red blood, the white snow all over the sky, and the cold Xie Yan are both weird and harmonious.
Strangely enough, he did not feel any fear or terror in his heart.
Looking at the twisted scar on his right hand, recalling the discomfort of writing with his left hand again, and Xiaoxin's silly and ignorant eyes, he felt excited and ready to do something.
From that moment on, he knew clearly that he wanted Lu Miao to die.
It was also from that moment that he knew clearly that Xie Yan, who settled in Changxi Village, was hiding a huge secret.
However, he did not expect that one day Xie Yan would become his real brother-in-law.
Xie Yan is a really strange person.
When killing people, he remained calm, decisive and resolute, ruthlessly killing without blinking an eye, as if human life was not worth mentioning in Xie Yan's eyes.
But it was such a villain who was able to lend a helping hand to the people of Changxi Village and save people including but not limited to Lu Miao.
While Lu Miao was obsessed with Xie Yan, he watched coldly as the murderous intent in Xie Yan's eyes grew deeper and deeper.
However, Lu Miao was born and raised in Changxi Village, and he made a big fuss about the matter with Xie Yan, which made Xie Yan, who was carrying a secret, unable to act rashly.
It seems that after Lu Miao's wedding, what awaits her is death without her noticing.
After all, given Lu Miao's personality, either Lu Miao would cause Xie Yan's death or Xie Yan would take the initiative and kill Lu Miao.
Unexpectedly, Lu Miao was not the daughter of the Lu family. She broke off the engagement and insisted on looking for her relatives, but she escaped.
To be honest, he felt regretful at that time.
Later, when Chao Chao returned home, he implicitly opposed Chao Chao's decision to continue the engagement on the grounds that they were no longer a good match.
However, Chao Chao was thinking about him and fell in love with Xie Yan's appearance.
However, when Xie Yan's murderous intent met Chao Chao, it was like dew meeting Jiao Yang, and it was completely dissipated. At first glance, he looked like a young general in fine clothes, riding a horse and full of high spirits.
So, after making things clear with Xie Yan, he just let it go.
Is he your classmate? 】
