Chapter 115 I'll Make Him Inseparable From Me
After hearing Aunt Su's words, Ling'er became more curious about Master Xie. Seeing that her young mistress was going, she eagerly said, "I want to go too! I want to go too!"
Shen Qingnian and Aunt Su both laughed.
Seeing her anxious look, Aunt Su smiled and said, "Alright, go, go!"
Shen Qingnian laughed and said, "Second Master is really popular with women! They all want to see him!"
Aunt Su smiled and sighed, how could she not love such a good husband?
It was so good that she would rather be trapped in this marquis's mansion for the rest of her life. As long as he was there, she would stay.
"Where are we going? Who is he?"
Upon hearing Xie Yanzhi's voice, the room immediately fell silent.
Xie Yanzhi stepped in, his eyes dark and unfathomable. He heard the last two sentences spoken in the room.
"Young Master!" Aunt Su stood up and bowed.
Ling'er and Qiuye also bowed.
Xie Yanzhi slumped into a chair with his golden sword, his sharp gaze immediately fixed on Shen Qingnian.
"Who did you just say you were going to see?!"
His tone carried an undeniable air of authority, so forceful that no one was allowed to remain silent.
He finished his shift early in the morning and came back to see Shen Qingnian.
He could hear bursts of laughter coming from inside the house even through the door; she seemed to be having a great time, so he didn't need to worry about her.
Seeing his fierce expression, Shen Qingnian knew that he was thinking about something incoherently again.
Now let's question her!
But if she wanted to see Master Xie, she needed Xie Yanzhi's permission.
Aunt Su wanted to speak, but Xie Yanzhi kept looking at Shen Qingnian, feeling that he should want to hear what Nian'er had to say.
It seems the eldest young master is truly not going to let go of Nian'er easily by focusing on just one sentence.
A hint of worry appeared in Aunt Su's eyes.
Shen Qingnian suppressed her dissatisfaction and said, "We were saying that we wanted to accompany Aunt to the estate to see Second Master."
"Oh?" Xie Yanzhi twirled the ring on his finger.
"Why did you suddenly decide to visit my second uncle?"
Shen Qingnian said frankly, "I've never met Second Master Xie since I came to the manor. My aunt wants to go, so I'd like to go with her." Her tone was completely frank, without a trace of suspicion.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yanzhi's agitation subsided.
If Aunt Su wasn't a concubine, Shen Qingnian would have to call his second uncle "Second Aunt's husband."
Thinking about this, it seemed that the relationship between Shen Qingnian and him had become much closer.
Xie Yanzhi's lips curled slightly: "You should go and see for yourself, and get to know people properly."
Seeing this, Shen Qingnian felt that his words were a bit strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about them.
Aunt Su knew that the eldest son was teasing Shen Qingnian.
The eldest son should still keep Nian'er by his side in the future, so Nian'er should naturally get to know his most respected second uncle.
Aunt Su even felt that the eldest son treated Nian'er in a way that the second master treated her.
Back then, she always called Xie Songyi "Second Master," but he encouraged her to call him "husband" and even took her to meet his respected teacher, saying it was so she could get to know him.
Aunt Su glanced at Shen Qingnian again and sighed helplessly. The relationship between the eldest son and Nian'er was destined to be full of hardships.
Seeing that Xie Yanzhi's face was no longer as somber as before, Shen Qingnian tentatively asked, "Did the young master allow me to go with my aunt to the estate to see the second master?"
Hearing the lightness in her tone, Xie Yanzhi didn't answer her. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Aunt Su with a deep gaze: "Aunt, remember to bring my maid back when you take her out."
“If the person goes missing, I’m going to go and demand it from Xie Zhao.”
Aunt Su nodded: "Don't worry, young master, I will bring the person back without missing a single detail."
Shen Qingnian felt uneasy seeing Xie Yanzhi secretly threatening her aunt.
Even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't.
We should wait and see what happens to Master Xie before making any plans.
Xie Yanzhi glanced at Shen Qingnian, put his hands behind his back, went out and said to the people at the door, "Let's go to the Wenxin Hall."
Yuan Qing followed closely behind. Today, General Li came to visit the master, but the master insisted on seeing Miss Qing before going.
People have been waiting for a while now.
Upon arriving at Wenxin Hall, General Li Renhe was chatting with the old lady.
Upon seeing Xie Yanzhi enter, Li Renhe stood up and said, "Your Highness, thank you!"
Xie Yanzhi cupped his hands in greeting: "General Li."
As they spoke, the two took their seats, and the maidservant refilled Xie Yanzhi's tea.
Xie Yanzhi asked, "I wonder what brings General Li to your residence today?"
Li Renhe laughed heartily: "I came here today specifically to thank the young master."
"Oh? I don't remember ever helping General Li."
Li Renhe smiled and said, "It's not about me, it's about my daughter Yan'er."
Xie Yanzhi then noticed the woman next to him.
The woman had skin as smooth as cream and a face as beautiful as a peach blossom, and she wore several jewels in her hair.
Her clothes were made of shimmering gauze, which shimmered and sparkled under the light, making it clear that she was a noble lady from an extraordinary family.
Xie Yanzhi showed no outward sign of distress, but inwardly he disliked the extravagant and luxurious attire.
From the moment Xie Yanzhi entered, Li Huiyan's eyes never left his figure.
Upon closer inspection today, Xie Yanzhi was even more handsome and extraordinary than she had seen him before, and his demeanor exuded the noble air she desired.
Those cool, clear eyes were looking at her, and Li Huiyan blushed involuntarily.
Seeing Xie Yanzhi looking at her, she brushed aside the begonia-shaped fan covering her face, stood up, and gave a curtsy.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Xie Yanzhi nodded: "Miss Li, I wonder when I ever helped you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Huiyan was somewhat disappointed; he had actually forgotten about her.
However, she quickly maintained her composed smile and said softly, "I was rescued by the young master when I fell into the water that day, and I am extremely grateful."
Xie Yanzhi suddenly realized that it was her.
"It was my bodyguard Yuan Qing who saved her that day. Miss Li, you can thank him if you wish," Xie Yanzhi said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Li Huiyan was stunned. It was indeed that guard who had rescued her from the water that day.
She didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Seeing the embarrassment on Li Huiyan's face, Li Renhe said, "If the young master hadn't spoken up, I doubt that guard would have saved my daughter. I suppose we should thank the young master."
Li Renhe also took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Qing: "Thank you, young man."
Li Huiyan also curtsied, expressing her gratitude to Yuan Qing for saving her life. Her every gesture revealed the demeanor of a well-bred young lady.
The old lady nodded happily; she was very satisfied with Li Huiyan.
This girl is not only well-educated and reasonable, but also comes from a good family. Her elder sister is the Consort Yun, who is currently enjoying great favor in the palace.
General Li just hinted that he wanted to improve relations between the two families.
She glanced at Xie Yanzhi again and felt that Li Huiyan was a good match for her Yan-ge'er.
The Li father and daughter talked for a while longer, and Xie Yanzhi, wanting to see the old lady off, escorted her to the gate of the mansion.
Only after the carriage started moving did Xie Yanzhi turn around and return to his residence.
Li Huiyan lifted the curtain and saw that figure, her heart filled with sweetness.
Li Renhe said from the side, "Young Master Xie seems to have no interest in you. Are you going to force this marriage?"
Li Renhe had no idea why Li Huiyan had taken a liking to Xie Yanzhi.
That young master Xie was indeed extraordinary, but the way he looked at Li Huiyan was not the kind of appreciation a man would show a woman.
Li Huiyan touched the jade hairpin in her hair and said, "It's just that he hasn't known how good I am yet."
She was the younger sister of the Imperial Concubine and a renowned talented woman in the capital; suitors flocked to her door.
Of all those people, she only had her eye on Xie Yanzhi, and she was determined to have him.
I just heard from Madam Xie that Xie Yanzhi has never had a concubine, or even a maidservant.
Such a manly man, who is also so self-disciplined, is hard to find even in the capital.
She would never let him go.
Li Huiyan said firmly, "Father, given time, I will make him unable to live without me."
