Chapter 254: Noticing Something is Wrong
Shi Nian supported Xie Jing with both hands, then suddenly turned around and stared at Shi Jiyue, shouting angrily: "Shi Jiyue! What are you doing!?"
How could Shi Jiuyue have thought that Shi Nian would find her so quickly, and bring Chu Wennan with him.
"Second Uncle, I..."
"That's enough!" Shi Nian interrupted Shi Jiuyue loudly: "I know you have resentment towards the Xie family, but the deaths of your father, brother and younger brother have nothing to do with the Xie family!"
"Second uncle!" Shi Jiuyue also completely collapsed. She didn't understand why Shi Nian was still speaking for the Xie family at this time. Is it because Dayin has a new emperor, and the Xie family is still the new emperor's confidant?
"Does my father's death really have nothing to do with the Xie family?!" Shi Jiuyue asked loudly, "It's clearly inextricably linked to the Xie family. If the Xie family really didn't target our Shi family, why would they break off with us? Can you get Xie Jing to say that my father's death really had nothing to do with him? "
Shi Nian stared at Shi Jiuyue coldly and shouted angrily, "Come here, take her back and lock her up! Take her away now!"
"Second Uncle!" There was no fear in Shi Jiuyue's eyes. Instead, she wanted to die together with Xie Jing. As she spoke, she pounced towards Xie Jing.
Shi Nian immediately winked at the people beside him, and the guards quickly stopped Shi Jiuyue.
"Second Uncle, please let them let me go. I want to avenge my father!" Shi Jiuyue struggled fiercely: "Second Uncle, please let them let me go!"
Shi Nian glanced at the guard who was imprisoning Shi Jiuyue. The guard understood and chopped Shi Jiuyue hard on the back of the head.
Shi Jiuyue, who originally had a ferocious look on his face, fainted instantly.
Shi Nian saw this, looked at Shi Jiyue falling into the guard's arms, and said, "Take the girl back and keep her under guard."
"Yes, Second Master." The guard said and left with Shi Jiuyue in his arms.
Shi Nian finally felt relieved after seeing Shi Jiyue leave safely. He turned sideways to look at Xie Jing, whose expression had returned to normal, and bowed again, "Brother Xie, I'm so sorry. Jiyue has been a little mentally unstable recently because of the things happening with her father and brother."
As he spoke, Shi Nian stood up and observed Xie Jing's expression, then continued, "Brother Xie, actually, when you were talking to me, Jiyue was in my study. She was reading in my study, and she heard everything we talked about. When you left, Jiyue even asked about you, but I really didn't expect something like this to happen. Jiyue treated you like this today, so I hope Brother Xie will forgive me and not hold it against her."
Xie Jing stared at Shi Nian without blinking. Before he could speak, he heard Chu Wennan speak.
"I remember that Master Xie and Master Shi had such a good relationship, how could they care about Ji Yue? Moreover, Master Shi and Ji Yue were separated by life and death. Master Xie should be able to understand the feelings of a daughter who has lost her father."
Xie Jing glanced at Chu Wennan and said, "Master Chu is right. I will definitely not bother with Ji Yue."
"That's good, that's good." Shi Nian's face was much happier: "Xie brother, let's go back to Lin Garden first."
Shi Nian looked as if he was afraid that Xie Jing would get angry. Xie Jing looked at Shi Nian deeply and said, "I'd better go back first, Zhong Cheng."
Upon hearing this, Shi Nian looked at Chu Wennan.
But after a moment, their eyes strayed.
Shi Nian asked: "Brother Xie, didn't you come out with a bag?"
Xie Jing said, "I came out quietly. I think my daughter must have noticed I'm missing by now. I should go back so she doesn't worry."
Seeing this, Shi Nian didn't know how to ask Xie Jing to stay.
Xie Jing, however, walked sideways past Chu Wennan and headed towards the carriage.
Shi Nian moved to Chu Wennan's side, and both of them looked at Xie Jing. When they saw Xie Jing take out the bundle from the carriage, they looked at each other.
Xie Jing walked up to Shi Nian and bowed, "Thank you Zhong Cheng for your care. I'll take my leave now."
Xie Jing didn't wait for Shi Nian to react, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
Just as he walked a distance, Chu Wennan stopped him and said, "Master Xie, Peizhi has been thinking about you all these years. Now that we have met, I will take you to see her."
Xie Jing froze, his expression solemn.
What made him serious was not that Feng Peizhi had been talking about him in front of Chu Wennan all these years, but that whether it was Shi Nian, Shi Jiuyue, or Chu Wennan, they all intended to bring him to Feng Peizhi.
Shi Nian clearly said that he would arrange a meeting with Feng Peizhi in order not to disturb Chu Wennan.
Now I heard these words from Chu Wennan's mouth again.
Weird, really weird.
Although he has had a different obsession with Feng Peizhi over the years, he cannot be sure that Feng Peizhi has the same obsession with him.
Although Xie Jing has not experienced too many setbacks, he also understands one thing: time is moving forward, everyone is moving forward, and no one is waiting for someone in the same place.
Even though he had an obsession in his heart, even though he was thinking about Feng Peizhi all the time, he also knew that after seeing Feng Peizhi, he would not disturb her life until Feng Peizhi was doing well.
Sometimes the obsession in your heart collides with reality, and the feeling is completely different.
Just like at this moment, when he heard what Chu Wennan said, the thought that came to his mind was not joy, but doubt.
Wondering what these people were going to do to him?
"Thank you, sir. Please go and meet Peizhi before going back." Chu Wennan stepped forward and said.
Xie Jing came back to his senses and stared at Chu Wennan: "Master Chu, do you mind?"
"What do you mind?" Chu Wennan asked doubtfully, but he understood immediately: "Master Xie is talking about Peizhi thinking about you all these years."
As he spoke, Chu Wennan waved his hand: "We are all so old, and I know about you and Peizhi. Peizhi has been suffering with me in Yizhou for these years, nothing else."
These words were spoken vaguely, as if he didn't mind anything, and as if his relationship with Feng Peizhi was not what Xie Jing thought.
Xie Jing naturally understood what Chu Wennan meant and said, "So that's how it is."
"Peizhi and I have been good friends for these years." Chu Wennan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Xie Jing had a faint smile on his face, but did not respond to Chu Wennan's words.
"Thank you, sir. Please come in." Chu Wennan made a gesture of invitation.
Xie Jing glanced at Shi Nian and could only force a faint smile and said, "Master Chu, please come in, Zhong Cheng will come in."
Seeing that Xie Jing had no extra emotions on his face, Shi Nian finally smiled and walked forward: "Brother Xie, please."
After Xie Jing and Shi Nian got on the carriage, and Chu Wennan got on his horse and led the group out of the alley, Gu Xun and Huaian appeared from a corner.
"Gu Xun, do you think the master is really stupid and hasn't noticed anything wrong yet?" Huaian asked doubtfully.
Gu Xun remained silent.
Huaian continued to talk to himself: "That can't be right. The girl is so smart, and I shouldn't be so stupid."
