Xie Li wanted to throw away this nonsensical letter immediately!
But I don't know why.
Her eyes, however, were involuntarily drawn to the contents of the letter, compelling her to read on.
The letter invited her to meet at a teahouse in town two days later, where he would tell her the whole story of her past...
Xie Li stared intently at the paper in her hand, wishing she could poke a hole through it!
The handwriting on the paper evoked a strange sense of familiarity, causing her to feel a sudden, inexplicable unease.
However, the handwriting in this letter is elegant and the style is mature, making it seem like it was written by a woman.
This is not Yuan Xu's handwriting.
Besides, Yuan Xu has been too busy taking care of himself lately to have any energy to deal with her affairs.
Moreover, she has been exiled here ever since.
She rarely goes out and has had little contact with women, so why would anyone write her such a prank letter?
Xie Li really didn't want to believe the contents of the letter.
However, once a door of doubt is opened in such matters, it can never be completely closed again.
After all, she had heard more than once since she was a child that she didn't look like her father...
Xie Li abruptly closed the letter.
As if finally making up her mind, she slowly raised her lowered eyelids and instructed the man waiting outside the door:
"Zhang San, tomorrow you and Li Wu will come with me to the teahouse. Remember to always be aware of your surroundings."
"Yes, young lady."
Lin Yan was completely unaware of what was happening in the town.
She just felt that Xie Muqing was very strange tonight.
He no longer resembled the energetic young man he once was; instead, he looked like a flower battered by a storm, all wilted and lifeless.
It's completely withered...
But she was tired too, so she didn't pay much attention to him, wrapped herself in the blanket, turned over, and fell asleep.
Xie Muqing was left watching her retreating figure with a sorrowful expression.
I can't fall asleep for a long time...
The cold wind howled outside the window, especially eerie in the quiet night, as if telling of his sorrow.
The next day.
Lin Yan began working on building a new house.
To speed up the construction process, she hired more people this time, including three cooks, and still provided them with lunch.
Because it was a job done before the New Year, the wages were ten more coins per day than before.
Because the Xie family's old house wasn't big enough, Lin Yan started laying the foundation next to their house.
That way, if the Xie family encounters danger, she can go to help them immediately.
She plans to build a dormitory for the Xie family's original house, for the Xie family army—no, it should be said that it is the Lin family army.
To distinguish her army from Xie Muqing's Xie family army, Lin Yan renamed her army.
Of course, all of this was done with their consent.
I don't know why.
The people under Master Xie's command seem to be very mysterious; even Xie Muqing has never seen them.
Looking at the new house being built in full swing next door, Madam Xie frowned slightly.
She knew Lin Yan was a good girl.
But she couldn't bear to watch her only son die because of her bad luck!
She thought of the master's admonition to her that day.
Madam Xie closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and she gripped the packet of medicine powder tightly in her hand!
...
It was midday.
After much deliberation, Xie Li decided to keep the appointment.
After entrusting the child to Ye Jing's care, she went to the second floor of the teahouse according to the address on the letter.
In a private room on the second floor of a teahouse in town.
The maid had been standing by the window for almost half an hour, but still hadn't seen the figure that was supposed to appear.
She looked somewhat hesitant as she glanced at the woman sitting at the table and cautiously asked:
"Madam, it's already noon. Is Miss Xie not coming?"
Xu Yuan calmly and slowly put down her teacup. Even after waiting for so long, she wasn't in a hurry at all, and said confidently:
"Don't worry, she will definitely come."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The maid saw a familiar figure pass by the window, and she quickly closed the window, her voice filled with indescribable excitement.
"Madam! It seems someone has arrived!"
Xiao Hong had never met Xie Li.
But she had heard of her beauty; such looks would be considered beautiful even in the capital, let alone in this small town.
not to mention.
There weren't many young women entering the teahouse, so when Xiao Hong saw Xie Li for the first time, she immediately guessed her identity.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan's face lit up with a confident smile, and she softly gave the order:
"They've finally arrived. Xiao Hong, go wait outside."
"yes!"
Xie Li took a few deep breaths before finally stepping into the teahouse.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw a strange girl running up to her, her attitude very enthusiastic.
"You must be Miss Xie? My master has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."
Thank you.
After leaving Zhang San and Li Wu waiting outside, Xie Li gently pushed open the door and entered the private room.
Upon hearing the noise, the woman inside slowly turned around, a kind smile appearing on her beautiful face.
"Sister Li, it's been a long time."
I saw familiar faces.
Xie Li was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until Xu Yuan walked to her side that she came back to her senses, and her voice was extremely dry.
"Xu Yuan, what are you doing here?"
"Sister Li, I'm sorry. I know I'm ashamed to see you. I was worried that you wouldn't want to see me, so I wrote that letter to coax you to come and see me."
I thought about the past.
A look of guilt flashed across Xu Yuan's face, and her mood plummeted to rock bottom.
