Chapter 170
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bow to your parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"Send her to the bridal chamber!"
After the ceremony, Yueli was sent to the courtyard where the two lived.
At this moment, their yard was decorated with joy, red everywhere. Yueli sat on the bed, waiting for Xie Lixing to lift the red veil.
The red candlelight flickered, and Xie Lixing used a wedding scale to lift the red veil.
Yueli raised her eyes.
When their eyes met, Yueli felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she looked at Xie Lixing nervously.
Xie Lixing leaned over and took out a bag of lotus cake from his arms while she was nervous.
"I'm going to go out to entertain the guests. You wait for me in the room, okay?"
Yueli's nervousness was dispelled by the lotus cake. She took it without thinking, "How did you know I was hungry?"
"Last time we got married, you ate all the food in the room without my knowledge."
“…” I remember it quite clearly.
[This sounds like they're remarrying.]
[Hahahahaha, I have to say, this wedding finally feels a bit like a newlywed wedding. What was that like last time?!]
[Indeed, even someone as beautiful as Yuri could make such a dead-eyed expression, which shows how much she didn't want to get married at the time...]
It has been so long that Yueli can no longer remember what expression she had at that time.
However, she knew that her expression would not be very good.
At that time, she was not looking forward to this marriage, and even felt that she would not survive more than three months in Xie Lixing's house.
While daydreaming, Yueli put the lotus cake into her mouth.
She is so hungry.
Seeing that Yueli's attention was all on the lotus cake, Xie Lixing told the maid outside the door to take good care of Yueli and went outside to entertain the guests.
When Xie Lixing came back, he was helped into the house.
After several aunts arranged for someone to send Xie Lixing into the new house, they took their people away.
[Ohhhh, the much-anticipated wedding night! ]
The red candlelight, the red surroundings, and Yueli's rosy face all fascinated Xie Lixing.
He staggered to Yue Li and said, "Li'er, I love you..." It is said that alcohol makes cowards brave, and Xie Lixing was one of them at this moment.
The feelings that have never been expressed are expressed at this moment.
The sudden confession caught Yushiri off guard.
She thought he was going to get to the point...
"I know." Yueli helped him sit on the bed and wiped the sweat off his face with her handkerchief.
"From the moment you saved me, I thought that I must marry a beautiful and rich girl like you...hiccup..." Xie Lixing kept chattering to Yueli about his love for her.
"I know you've been in love with me for seven years."
In fact, Yueli felt a little strange.
She was five years old when she met Xie Lixing. If it was seven years ago, she should have met him for the second time when she was ten years old.
But she has no memory of it.
"No, twelve years." The drunk Xie Lixing stretched out an index finger and shook it.
"Didn't we meet for the second time seven years ago?"
While he was drunk, Yuri wanted to ask him about their second encounter.
The good things you did at the age of five, you won’t do again when you are ten, right?
Otherwise, why did the comments say that he had a crush on her for seven years?
"Well... that year, I was working under the Emperor, a fledgling shadow guard. I was ambushed and nearly died in a deserted temple. It was you... who saved me."
Yueli had no impression of this incident at all.
This shouldn’t be the case—
Just as Yueli was racking her brains, a memory came to her mind.
In the dilapidated temple, Yueli and Qinyin huddled in a corner. Qinyin wiped her tears in fear, "Miss, what should we do? Is the master really going to abandon you here and leave you alone?"
Ten-year-old Yueli looks much more mature and calmer than when she was five.
Her face was wet with rain, and she spoke in a cold voice, "He will come to pick me up tomorrow morning. Let's rest here tonight."
"Miss, the master won't allow you to go out. Do you really want to study with Mr. Mo?"
"certainly!"
Ten-year-old Yueli looked at the heavy rain outside the door and answered with a firm answer.
"The more my parents act like this, the more I want to compete with them. I want to show them that a daughter can also bring them glory!"
She wants to be the best bureaucrat and the best writer, to let those hypocrites know how ignorant their insistence is!
Qinyin looked up at Yushiri who was standing in front of the door, admiration flashing in her eyes.
Just as she was about to speak, there was a sudden noise beside her.
Both of them were startled. Yueli quickly found some hay, gathered them together, and found a tinder to light it.
The firelight illuminated the dark, dilapidated temple, allowing Yushili and Qinyin to see the seriously injured person in the corner.
"Girl..." Qin Yin was so frightened that she lost her voice. She thought she was dead. She subconsciously stood in front of Yue Li and said, "Don't... don't be afraid. I will protect you."
Qin Yin was shaking all over when she said this.
She was very scared, but she did not forget Yueli behind her. Her mission was to protect Yueli.
"Qin Yin, it's okay, I'll go check it out."
As Yueli said this, she picked up a wooden stick and approached the man in black in the corner.
Qinyin grabbed Yushiri's hand and tried to stop her.
Yueli shook her head at her, moved closer to the man in black, and poked him with a wooden stick, "Hey, are you still alive?"
Qin Yin followed behind Yu Li, "Girl, let's go over there."
This guy looks like he's out of breath...
We can't let this man's bad luck get to these girls.
"Ugh..." Just when Yushili was about to be pulled away by Qinyin, the man in black suddenly let out a painful groan.
Hearing the sound, Yuli frowned and moved closer.
"Girl, be careful..."
"It's okay. Take this stick. If he attacks me, just knock him out."
Yushili turned around, handed the stick in her hand to Qinyin, and lowered her head to check the injuries of the man in black.
Perhaps the man in black had no strength, or perhaps the man in black heard what Yueli said, so he did not take action when Yueli checked his injuries.
"You're still breathing, Qinyin. Give me the lotus cake in your arms, and the water bag as well."
Seeing that Yueli was indeed not in danger of life, Qinyin took out the things as Yueli instructed.
While the man was eating, Yueli was patiently checking his wounds.
Well, after confirming that the wound was not something she could heal, she applied some of the golden wound medicine she had with her.
Whether he can survive depends on his luck.
"My name is Yueli, and I'm the daughter of the Chen family. If you're lucky enough to wake up, remember to come find me and repay my kindness."
After saying that, Yueli bandaged his wound.
As her memory faded, Yueli blinked twice and focused her eyes on Xie Lixing's face in front of her. The corners of her lips twitched slightly.
Why did you show your kindness to Xie Lixing twice...
