Chapter 70 The hurt will be like this from now on.
There was a brief silence in front of the door.
Jiang Keyu stood in the night, his expression gloomy and unclear.
Song Baoyuan turned her back to the bright room and faced the dark night, her expression unclear.
"Impossible." Jiang Keyu's voice was slightly hoarse. "I won't leave."
He turned around, pretending to be calm, and asked, "Isn't this my home anymore?"
"No!" Song Baoyuan had lost her mind and was confused.
The moment she denied it, Jiang Keyu felt something sharp piercing his heart, causing him to bleed profusely and lose his breath.
During the stalemate, he suddenly grabbed Song Baoyuan's wrist and pulled her quickly into the dark night.
"What are you doing?"
Song Baoyuan tried to break free but to no avail and was forced to follow him.
The evening breeze blew up the hems of their clothes and ruffled their long hair.
"Where are you taking me?"
As soon as Song Baoyuan finished speaking, they stopped in front of the open door, and saw the incense table and memorial tablets.
"Say what you just said again." Jiang Keyu pointed inside. "Say it again in front of your parents!"
The cold wind hit his face, and he suddenly felt abandoned. "You said this isn't my home, that you hate me, that you never want to see me again. Just say it!"
"Don't bring up your parents!"
Song Baoyuan pushed him away, "It was obviously you who went too far first!"
"I just want you to stay away from people who might bring you harm!"
Song Baoyuan stepped back unconsciously and shook her head.
Things in the world are so absurd.
"Don't you know yet?"
She choked up and said, "Aren't you the one who has caused me the most harm in this world?"
In an instant, Jiang Keyu felt as if he was hit on the head with a stick.
"Isn't it all because of you that I've suffered the greatest hurt and the most grievances in my life?"
The lantern above her head illuminated Song Baoyuan's expression at the moment. The resentment in her eyes was clearly visible. "The one I should stay away from the most is you!"
At this moment, Jiang Keyu's blood froze, making him confused and speechless.
Song Baoyuan turned and ran, as if avoiding him like the plague.
As her figure disappeared from his sight, the world became very quiet to Jiang Keyu.
It was so quiet that he could hear his own slow breathing.
He didn't know how long he stood there. He couldn't move and couldn't feel the temperature.
There is only confusion in my heart.
Until he glanced sideways and saw the tablets of his parents.
My nose felt sore and tears immediately wet my eyes, but I stubbornly refused to let them fall.
It's destined to be a sleepless night.
Song Baoyuan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, with unspeakable emotions filling her heart.
She would spend the whole night sorting out her tangled thoughts.
In the next yard, Xie Yuchao stood at the door with his arms folded, hiding his figure behind his own door.
Xiao Si squatted beside him, sleepy and yawning.
"That guy hasn't left yet? Are you being lazy and not watching?"
Xiao Si was so anxious that she stood up and almost raised her finger to swear, "I have been watching them since they came back. Not even a fly has escaped, let alone people!"
He spread his hands, "He must be staying overnight."
The next moment, he received a glare from his young master.
Xiao Si's eyelids twitched. "What does this have to do with you, Master?"
He was suspicious in his heart, "Master, you are not, are you having feelings for that widow?"
"It would be great if she really was a widow." Xie Yuchao muttered.
"What?" Xiao Si looked confused.
Xie Yuchao frowned and paced back and forth, "Although, but. As a father, it's reasonable for him to stay overnight occasionally."
He said, walking back, mumbling, "It's not like we're sleeping in the same bed."
Xiao Si: “?”
Could it be that he put the wrong ingredients in the dinner he made today, causing the young master to become ill?
"Master, are you okay?" He chased after him. "Master, what happened to you?"
*
The next morning, Song Baoyuan led Tan Qiuying and hurried to the Princess's Mansion.
I hope the matter can be resolved as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected events.
As soon as they met, Liu An asked, "You didn't sleep well last night. Your eyes are swollen like walnuts."
Song Baoyuan subconsciously covered her eyes, "Is it obvious?"
She spoke a little hoarsely, and Liu An felt something was wrong, but he didn't ask any questions. He just pulled her hand down teasingly and said, "You're still very beautiful!"
On the other side, Jiang Keyu sent her son to school and took her daughter with her to the Dali Temple to work.
After finishing his official business, Jiang Keyu rubbed his brows and sat in the inner hall, looking at his daughter who was sitting on the ground playing with a porcelain doll, his eyes gradually losing focus.
Until Liu'an came back, leaning against the door, panting, he said, "My dear, everything you asked has been done. But Xu Ying refused to sign the divorce agreement. She wrote a divorce letter."
Jiang Keyu came back to her senses and said, "Whatever."
He couldn't hide his fatigue in his eyes. After a while, he asked casually, "Who is coming to pick someone up from the Tan family?"
"The eldest young master of the Tan family."
Jiang Keyu tapped her fingertips on the table. "The one who came to our house to propose marriage?"
He remembered that when Ayuan was still unmarried, the Tan family came to propose marriage, but his father politely rejected it.
"Yes." Liu'an nodded.
Jiang Keyu frowned, "I heard that this person is still unmarried?"
"Yes, the second young master in their family is almost having a large family, but the eldest young master is still alone." Liu'an said exaggeratedly.
He thought about it and made a bold guess, "Could it be that he is keeping his virginity for our young lady?"
"Why are you so talkative?"
Liu'an pouted, "Aren't you asking it yourself, my dear?"
Jiang Keyu was upset.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Liu'an rubbed his hands nervously and asked tentatively, "Didn't the young lady say before that he wanted to find a reliable man for the young lady? This young master Tan is quite handsome and has a wealthy family. If he is truly devoted to our young lady, wouldn't he be a good match?"
"Bang!"
Jiang Keyu suddenly slammed the table.
The force was not strong, but it still frightened Liu'an.
"What's suitable about that? He can't even protect his own sister, how can you expect him to be good to your young lady?"
Jiang Keyu felt a headache, "Besides, my father looked down on him in the beginning."
"no."
He suddenly stood up and walked out.
Lu'an looked confused, "Where are you going all of a sudden?"
…
At the Princess's Mansion, Song Baoyuan met the legendary Marquis Pingyuan.
He had a gentle appearance, was in his thirties, dressed simply and elegantly, and to the naked eye, there was nothing wrong with him. It was hard to imagine that he was someone who enjoyed abusing others.
Song Baoyuan reached out and patted Sister Qiuying's hand under the table to comfort her, as she didn't dare to look up.
"In terms of kinship, the princess should still call me uncle."
Liu An chuckled and stood up. "Then I'll toast to my uncle. I hope you'll give me some face and stop making things difficult for my friend."
"No problem."
Pingyuan Hou smiled gently and his eyes swept over Song Baoyuan and Tan Qiuying unnoticeably.
"Even if the princess doesn't give face, she must give face to her niece."
He drank the wine in the glass, stood up, and poured himself another glass of wine.
"This must be Madam Song, I've heard a lot about you."
Song Baoyuan was slightly surprised, "The Marquis knows me?"
"I was accidentally involved in a case before, and I dealt with Jiang Shaoqing. I heard from his men that their sister-in-law was as beautiful as a flower, better than a fairy. It's a pity that Jiang Shaoqing kept her secret, so I didn't have the chance to meet her."
Pingyuan Hou felt very regretful when he said this.
"But now it seems that it was just that fate hadn't arrived yet."
He smiled and raised his wine glass, "Madam Song, would you please do me the honor of having a drink?"
Song Baoyuan was somewhat reluctant, but she also knew that she had to consider the overall situation, especially since Liu An had winked at her.
She stood up calmly and said, "My Lord, you are too kind. I will drink first as a sign of respect."
Marquis Pingyuan is eloquent, and although he has some of the airs of a marquis, he is generally approachable.
He made no secret of his passion for Song Baoyuan and found many excuses to ask her to drink with him.
After three rounds of drinks, we finally sent the person away.
Liu An was drunk and confused, and although Song Baoyuan's ears were stained with red, she was still sober.
"I didn't expect you to have such a good alcohol tolerance." Liu An lay on Song Baoyuan's legs, speaking incoherently.
Song Baoyuan glanced sideways at Sister Qiuying who was completely drunk and sighed silently.
She raised her hand and brushed Liu An's hair, feeling mixed emotions.
The matter seemed to be resolved, but she couldn't be happy.
After staying at the Princess's Mansion for some time, it was almost dusk when Song Baoyuan helped Tan Qiuying leave.
In front of the princess's mansion, someone she didn't expect was waiting for her.
"Ayuan."
In front of the carriage stood a man with luxurious clothes and handsome appearance.
Seeing Brother Tan again, Song Baoyuan felt as if she was in another world.
"Brother Tan, why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick up Qiuying. I waited at your door for a long time but you didn't come back. Then I heard from your servants that you were here, so I came over."
Song Baoyuan nodded, and helped him help Tan Qiuying into the Tan family's carriage.
"I'm sorry to bother you."
"That's nothing." Song Baoyuan was still worried. "Marquis Pingyuan promised not to bother me anymore, but the Xu family..."
"It's also been resolved." Young Master Tan said hurriedly, "Don't worry."
Song Baoyuan asked in surprise: "How did you solve it?"
"It's just a matter of spending some money."
"oh."
What a boring answer, Song Baoyuan thought.
In front of her, Young Master Tan was a little embarrassed. "I see you've had some wine too. Let me take you home first."
Song Baoyuan thought about it seriously and said, "It's not on your way. You should take Sister Qiuying home as soon as possible. It's okay with me."
"How can that be possible? You're a girl, and you've been drinking..."
"You don't have to worry about that."
The sudden insertion made both of them stunned.
Another carriage stopped at the gate of the princess's mansion, and Jiang Keyu emerged from it, walking quickly towards them.
Young Master Tan lowered his head subconsciously. "I didn't know Young Master Jiang would come, so I was really overthinking it. In that case, I will take Qiuying back first."
Song Baoyuan bowed and watched them leave.
At the same time, Jiang Keyu walked to her side.
They stood side by side in silence for a long time.
Finally, Jiang Keyu lowered her eyes and lowered her voice, "Let's go home."
"If my brother wants to go home too, then I won't go back."
Jiang Keyu clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves, squeezing until her knuckles turned white, and forced herself to remain calm.
"Do you really have to do this?"
Song Baoyuan turned her head to look at him, no longer avoiding his gaze.
"Yes, it must be so. From now on, it must be like this."
This was the first time Jiang Keyu saw unusual determination in her eyes.
It made him feel extremely frustrated.
