Just as he was deep in thought, he was disturbed by a sharp and piercing noise outside!
He couldn't concentrate on watching and couldn't help but frown.
"What's making such a racket outside?"
Xie Zhi is young.
They can never stay still.
When the matchmaker came to his door, he ran over and squatted in the corner to watch the spectacle.
When he saw the matchmaker being kicked out, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.
He choked on the matchmaker and then went back.
Back in the courtyard, before he could even drink some water, he heard his brother's question.
He couldn't wait to tell me what he had seen.
“Cousin, I just went to see. It’s the matchmaker from town who came to arrange a marriage for Miss Lin Yan.”
"Propose marriage? Ha! What a fickle woman, she moves fast enough."
Xie Muqing's handsome face was gloomy and mocking.
Just a few days ago, she even asked him to repay her with his body, and now he has a new pursuit.
Oh!
Judging from what she said to him that day, she must have said the same things to many men!
Xie Rui is two years older.
He's almost a teenager now, knows a thing or two about relationships between men and women, and is good at reading people's expressions.
He quickly nudged Xie Zhi, who was drinking water, with his elbow.
She winked at him.
"Ahem, but that matchmaker was chased away by Miss Lin's parents! That matchmaker was disgusting. I heard them saying that she actually betrothed Miss Lin to Mr. Wu, a wealthy man in his forties in town, as his concubine! Miss Lin is beautiful and knows medicine; she's such a good person. How could that matchmaker have come up with such a thing? Forget about Miss Lin's parents, I want to beat her up too!"
"Master Wu?"
Xie Muqing couldn't help but frown.
He lowered his eyelids, concealing his peach blossom eyes filled with countless thoughts.
That woman looks like she has a very strong attraction to women!
She's probably not the kind of woman who would compromise herself by marrying an older man for money...
It seems he misunderstood her...
“Cousin, Miss Lin’s parents love her very much and will definitely follow her wishes to arrange a marriage for her. I feel like she’s not in a hurry to get married.”
Xie Rui always felt uneasy whenever he faced Xie Muqing.
After all, they had very little interaction back when they were in the Marquis's residence.
They only get together during holidays and Chinese New Year.
But in his heart, although his cousin was a bit of a playboy, he was kind-hearted.
Back in school, because of his background, he was often bullied by his classmates.
It was only after my cousin learned of this that he severely punished those people, and they dared not cause any more trouble for the two brothers.
So all along.
He felt very inferior in front of his cousin.
"What does it matter to me if she gets married? She'd better get married soon so she won't bother me anymore."
Although Xie Muqing is usually unreliable.
But as the legitimate son of a marquis, he still exudes authority when he puts on a stern face.
Xie Rui had no idea that his cousin had almost been raped.
Therefore, in his heart, Miss Lin was an excellent girl, and he couldn't help but feel resentful and speak up for her.
“Cousin, Miss Lin is a very good person, and she's not the kind of person who would easily change her mind.”
Xie Muqing closed his eyes and took a deep breath, slowly calming his agitated mood.
He couldn't reveal that he had almost been raped by a girl.
That would be too embarrassing!
They could only silently suffer this injustice!
Xie Muqing impatiently sent Xie Rui and his brother back into the house, not wanting to hear them speak for that woman anymore.
Before we knew it, the sun was slowly moving westward.
At that moment, a girl suddenly jumped down from the wall next door.
The wall was only half a person high.
Girls in the mountain village all know how to climb trees, so it was easy for Lin Xinghua to jump over the wall of this height.
"Young Master Xie..."
Lin Zhenglu went out today.
Lin Xinghua then secretly left the room and went straight to Lin Yan's house.
She originally wanted to knock on the Xie family's door directly, but she didn't dare, so she could only look at him through the wall.
Young Master Xie seems to have become even more handsome today!
Her complexion has improved a lot. Although her face is still pale, it is not as ashen as it looked a few days ago.
Upon hearing the unfamiliar female voice, Xie Muqing immediately frowned.
He glanced in the direction of the sound, his icy face expressionless.
"What's up?"
Lin Xinghua was incredibly audacious.
But being a sixteen-year-old girl, she didn't dare to get too close to a man alone.
She was momentarily stunned by that stunningly handsome face right in front of her.
He stood there dumbfounded by the wall.
He stared intently at the handsome man not far away, like a lovesick fool.
The girl remained silent for a long time, but her gaze remained fixed on herself.
The sticky, nauseatingly intense gaze made Xie Muqing feel extremely uncomfortable!
He wished he could gouge those eyes out!
For some reason, Lin Xinghua felt that the temperature around her had dropped considerably.
After rubbing her arms, she foolishly handed the five goose eggs in the basket forward.
"Young Master Xie, these are goose eggs laid by our family's goose. My mother says goose eggs are very nutritious. Please take them home and eat them."
She thought that after she delivered the goose eggs, Xie Muqing would be much kinder to her.
But no!
And instead of becoming more amiable, his expression became even more impatient.
His eyes were filled with cold light as he looked at her.
Meeting those cold and sinister eyes, Lin Xinghua unconsciously took a few steps back, her lips trembling involuntarily.
"Young Master Xie, what's wrong?"
"Tch! Take your things back. This isn't a dumping ground for trash."
Humiliated by the man she liked, Lin Xinghua's face instantly turned bright red.
