Chapter 209 You Make Me Feel Sick

Just when Su Jin was worried, Xie Huaiguang slowly looked away and smiled calmly, "That has nothing to do with Sixth Miss. Even the Emperor has praised you many times. No one dares to do anything to you."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at the figures performing on the stage in the distance and said, "This is a new play. Can you understand it, Sixth Miss?"

Su Jin shook her head. God, how could she understand opera? Just look at the singing style. If you are not a local, you really can't understand it.

Seeing her confused eyes, Xie Huaiguang smiled again.

The young man was handsome, holding the cup in a lazy posture, with the charm of a drunk imperial concubine, his lips moistened by the perfume of wine, he said word by word: "This "Man Chuang Hu" is about the famous Tang general Guo Ziyi. The old general has made many military achievements. Among the famous generals in history, there are not many who can retreat unscathed and have a good end. Since ancient times, famous generals are like beautiful women, who will not see their hair turn white. There are too many famous generals who died in an untimely way. Guo Ziyi is different. The old man's later years are all uphill, his seven sons and eight sons-in-law are all high-ranking officials, so it is called "Man Chuang Hu", this is a happy ending play."

As he spoke, Xie Huaiguang said dimly, "The person who ordered this play must have hoped that the Sixth Miss would also have a happy ending."

Su Jin's heart sank. What did this mean? Was her life now so unhappy?

She looked at Xie Huaiguang in surprise. The young man was dignified and silent, with half of his face hidden in the darkness where the lanterns could not find him. He had his eyes closed, as if he was drunk, or as if he was immersed in the actor's exquisite and lengthy singing.

Thanks Huiguang...

Su Jin thought about the life of the man in the book. It seemed that he should be older than he is now, but she couldn't remember clearly. When she read the later part, she almost skipped chapters and missed many details.

However, his cold and bloodthirsty character made Xie Huaiguang what he is ten years later. When he became emperor, he was even more ruthless. He employed cruel officials and rectified the government. The people of the Great Zhou finally got a few years of peace. It's a pity that the pens of writers would not let Xie Huaiguang go, and wrote him into a cruel emperor.

This bloodthirsty character should have appeared ten years later, right?

Su Jin thought slowly.

After eating the reunion dinner and watching the lively opera, Xie Huaiguang took out some fireworks and firecrackers like a magician. The sound of firecrackers was also heard on the streets outside. I don’t know whose fireworks shot straight into the sky. Although they were not as big and beautiful as the fireworks in the future, in the ancient times when there was nothing, such fireworks were already considered beautiful.

The sound of the girls clapping their hands in delight came from the room, and Mr. Zhuzhi shook his head and said, "The lantern tree is shining with thousands of lights, and the flower flames are blooming on seven branches. Beautiful, beautiful!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

When it was getting busy, someone knocked on the door. It was Gu Changqing who had rushed over.

As they walked along the way, the houses around them were bustling with activity. The big red lanterns at the doors illuminated the way. Every house was brightly lit, and Gu Changqing could see the road clearly without even needing a lantern.

But when he arrived at the alley leading to Su Jin's residence, Gu Changqing only felt darkness. Although there were lanterns hanging on the door, the yard was too big and the alley was too deep, giving people the feeling that they had walked all the way in the bright sunlight, but it was very dark here.

After listening to the noise again, he found that he could not hear anything at all. Gu Changqing could not help but sneer.

"Hmph, look at it, it's still deserted, not even as lively as our Marquis' Mansion."

The servant didn't dare to speak, so Gu Changqing continued, "Humph, Jin'er is all alone now, and she has to spend the New Year alone, which is really pitiful. Why don't I spend the New Year with her tonight?"

After saying that, he still felt that he was a pretty good and kind man. Compared to the divorced Su Jin, he was really much better.

So Gu Changqing started knocking on the door. He was looking forward to seeing Su Jin pushing the door open in a miserable state. It would be best if she burst into tears as soon as she saw him. That would make him even more satisfied, because that would meet his expectations of Su Jin.

Sure enough, the door opened and the person inside came out. He was not as miserable as Gu Changqing had thought. Instead, he was very happy with a smile on his face. However, the smile disappeared suddenly when he saw Gu Changqing.

"What's up?"

Su Jin spoke coldly.

Gu Changqing looked inside and saw no one, so he said, "You look pitiful, so I came to spend the New Year with you. By the way, you didn't have a good New Year's Eve dinner, so I brought some new food..."

He handed over the things in his hand, but Su Jin didn't take it. He just turned aside and said coldly, "Come in."

You actually let him in?

Gu Changqing was delighted and said repeatedly: "If you are not happy, come back with me. I don't mind your divorce. Just think of it as you are homesick and have a little quarrel. Then we can live happily as a family..."

Gu Changqing was chattering away, but Su Jin didn't listen at all. He just looked away with a cold face until he brought Gu Changqing in. Then, the hustle and bustle inside successfully stunned Gu Changqing.

Is it miserable to spend the holidays alone?

Stop joking.

It’s so lively here in Su Jin!

It would be fine if his two sons were here, but there was also Mr. Zhuzhi, and the new top scholar, Xie Huaiguang!

"W-Why are you here?"

Gu Changqing was shocked!

Looking around, there was a bustling stage and fireworks being set off indiscriminately. Although the food on the table was mostly eaten, it was obviously better than the food at the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. He had never even seen many of the dishes, but just by smelling them, he knew how delicious the food was!

No, the point is not the food, but Xie Huaiguang. Why is he here?

The young man slowly opened his eyes, his cold eyebrows were stained with winter frost, and he looked over fiercely with a wind, so cold that it seemed that he could freeze Gu Changqing into a sculpture.

"If Lord Gu doesn't want something, someone else will treasure it. But since you've already let it go, why bother coming back to look for it? Isn't that lowering your status?"

These words are pointed and the content is really intriguing.

Gu Changqing had always been stupid, but now he suddenly became smart. He looked at Su Jin fiercely: "Okay, it's only been a short time and you've already found a lover? Su Jin! You said, you want a divorce, is it just for this pretty boy?"

Gu Changqing suddenly felt that the hat on his head was a little green, and he instantly became angry and embarrassed.

A man can have anything, but he cannot be cuckolded!

Su Jin laughed. She did not directly answer Gu Changqing, but said lightly: "I asked you to come in just to let you see how happy I am now and how lively my place is."

"Without a disgusting husband like you, I can entertain friends at will. No matter if it's Mr. Zhuzhi, Ruolan, or Mr. Xie, any of them is more open-minded than you. Gu Changqing, you make me feel sick!"
