Chapter 44 Later, she scattered the ashes
It was late at night, the moon was bright, and the thief came again under the cover of darkness and sneaked into the boudoir.
After Cui Si woke up in shock, she was pressed to the mute point and her eyes were covered with a cloud-like gauze headband.
The vision in front of me was hazy, the dim night light emitted a faint glow, and the outline of the man in black in front of me was clear, but I couldn't see it clearly.
"Madam Cui, I'm here to talk to you."
Cui Si took out the dagger hidden under her pillow, pulled it out and swung it. The dim light cast a cold light on the dagger.
The man in black leaned back hastily, but the sharp dagger still cut through his clothes on the chest.
Yan Xingchuan reached out and pressed his hand on her wrist, snatching the dagger from her hand.
"You really have a cruel heart!"
If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been bleeding.
When Cui Si's dagger was taken away, her face darkened and she reached under her pillow again.
Yan Xingchuan was startled and grabbed her hand to press her down on the bed. With his other hand, he lifted the pillow and saw two daggers underneath.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he reached out and pinched her chin, a little angry:
"Are you on guard against me?"
Cui Si bit her lip slightly, and her chin, which revealed half of her face, looked stubborn and cold.
It seemed that if she was given the chance, she would definitely stab him and send him to hell.
Yan Xingchuan breathed heavily for a long time, feeling extremely complicated.
After thinking for a long time, he put away the dagger and let her go.
"Madam Cui, don't be afraid. I'm just here to talk to you and then leave. I won't do anything to you."
Yan Xingchuan was sitting on the edge of the bed, still holding the green gauze curtain in his hand. He turned around and saw her getting up and hiding in the bed, but he did not stop her.
She sat there with her eyelids drooped, half of her face illuminated by the light and the other half hidden in the darkness, cold and calm.
Yan Xingchuan felt as if the pair of eyes hidden under the veil were staring at him coldly.
However, the next moment, she suddenly reached out and pulled off the gauze belt, staring at him with a pair of cold eyes.
Yan Xingchuan: “…”
He was confused and forgot that now that she was free, he couldn't cover her eyes.
And she is so smart, will she recognize him the next time she sees him?
Thinking of this, Yan Xingchuan's palms were sweaty.
I want her to recognize me, but I'm also worried that she will recognize me.
In a hurry, he reached out and tapped her again, making her unable to move.
Then, he took off his shoes, got on the bed and sat down beside her. The two of them leaned against the innermost part of the bed, looking ahead quietly.
The night wind blew in through the window that had never been closed. The gauze curtains and bead curtains swayed in the wind, and the green gauze curtain covering the bed in front of him also swayed slightly.
The lamp on the lampstand outside the bed burned quietly, emitting a soft light.
Yan Xingchuan suddenly remembered when they had just gotten married. After completing the ceremony, they sat in the festively decorated bridal chamber and just sat there.
She raised her eyebrows and chuckled, lazy and confident, like a noble fox, nestling in her own territory.
When you are happy, give him a smile; when you are unhappy, just ignore him.
At that time, he felt that this Cui girl was quite strong-willed and quite confident and calm, as if everything was under control. This made him want to see what she was capable of.
However, it was extremely pleasant to be with her.
But now she sat there like this, not saying a word, coldly and gloomily, as if she had nothing to say to him.
He didn't say anything either, not knowing how to face her or what to say to her.
There was such silence and dead stillness, as if only ashes remained in life, cold and cold.
Later, she scattered the ashes as well.
The bones were ground to dust, leaving nothing behind.
Even on the road to the underworld, she didn't want to see him again.
Yan Xingchuan's heart felt like it was being fried in a frying pan, stabbed again and again, until it was covered in blood and riddled with holes.
Unable to bear such silence and dead stillness, he licked his dry lips, reached out and held her hand.
"Madam Cui, I can untie your acupuncture points. Just keep quiet and talk to me. I'll stay for an hour... no, half an hour... then just an incense stick. I'll be gone after an incense stick."
He persuaded himself and shortened the time again and again.
Finally he looked at her, reached out his hand and touched her, freeing her from muteness.
Cui Si looked at him coldly, but was smart enough not to shout.
Yan Xingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his pale face looked a little better.
He thought for a moment and asked her, "Madam Cui, what do you think of the Cui family welcoming the King of Northern Yan into Pingzhou?"
"By the way, have you met the King of Beiyan?"
"I heard that Cui wants to marry her daughter to the King of Northern Yan. If you were in her place, would you marry the King of Northern Yan?"
"The moon is so beautiful today. Will it be sunny tomorrow?"
"What if it rains? I definitely need to bring an umbrella when I go out..."
......
She sat there in silence while he chattered on and on, his words incoherently. Needless to say, she could guess that he was very nervous.
After an incense stick of time had passed, Cui Si could no longer endure it and finally spoke: "It's time to go."
Yan Xingchuan: “…”
He sighed deeply, like a homeless dog left in the rainy night.
"Then tomorrow night, can I still come and chat with Madam Cui?"
Are you sure you're chatting?
Cui Si looked at him coldly and said to him, "If you have a lot of free time, you can get a dog."
"Raise a dog? Does Madam Cui like dogs?"
"I mean, you're so free you could talk to a dog."
Yan Xingchuan: “…”
He was speechless and sat there for a long time. Finally, he nodded silently, got up, put on his shoes and got off the bed.
When he turned around again, he reached out and touched her hair:
"Don't marry Jiang Cinian."
Whether she was annoyed with him or hated him, she could do whatever she wanted to him.
But there is only one thing, that is, you must never marry anyone else.
Cui Si's face darkened for a moment, and she glared at him, "Get out of here!"
Yan Xingchuan stroked her hair twice more, and finally threw her dagger on the bed, saying, "Swords have no eyes, so be careful when playing."
"I'm leaving."
After saying this, he untied her collar, turned around and walked away, jumped out of the window and disappeared.
At this time, Shen Mo was waiting at the outer wall. Seeing Yan Xingchuan jump down from the sycamore tree, he quickly pulled him away, fearing that he would be caught if he stayed any longer.
Thinking of the scene where Yan Xingchuan was caught sneaking into the boudoir of Cui's daughter at night, Shen Mo shuddered and shook twice.
At this time, the two of them had already left the second house, avoided the spacious and bright avenue, and sneaked into a courtyard.
"The Cui family is so ungrateful! They actually dared to welcome Yan Xingchuan into Pingzhou.
This is treason! Treason! It is a crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of your family!
