Quick Travel: Redeeming the yandere villain Little Poor

Chapter 721 Coveting Father’s Concubine 32

Before the carriage left Wushui Town, Ji Yan got off the carriage and went to the pawn shop with Shuang Shuang. Qian Wu asked doubtfully, "What did Miss Ji do at the pawn shop?"

Xie Yuan also stared at the slender figure. Unlike Qian Wu, the young man's dark pupils gradually gained a little light, his hands tightened on the reins, and the corners of his originally drooping mouth were slightly raised.

What Qian Wu saw when he turned around was this scene. He couldn't help but sigh, Mr. Xie was really moody, and his mood was unpredictable.

After Ji Yan came out of the pawn shop, the carriage continued driving and left Wushui Town.

On the way back to Beijing, Ji Yan looked at the concerned face of the chief minister and fulfilled the decision she made before setting off to Cangzhou. She looked down at the tips of her shoes and said softly: "Sir, I deceived you."

The chief assistant was stunned for a moment, then he said with a smile: "What can you lie to me about?"

Ji Yan looked up at him and couldn't bear to hide it from him anymore. She told him all the tricks the original owner had played in front of him in the past, including her own true thoughts, and she prepared the worst.

The carriage fell silent, and the chief assistant was also silent.

After a long time, Xie Lincai said: "So, do you want me to divorce you?"

"Yes." Ji Yan nodded and pursed her lips, feeling even more guilty.

Ordinary people might become angry when they learn the truth, but Xie Lin did not lose control of his emotions, and he did not even speak harshly to her. His tone was still gentle, treating her as patiently as a child.

The first assistant paused and said: "Yanyan, after you and Yuan'er went to Cangzhou, I didn't sleep well for a long time, and I was always low on energy the next day. Your Majesty also noticed it, so he asked the imperial doctor to diagnose my pulse. ."

Xie Lin's voice was neither fast nor slow, like a stream flowing through a stone stream. "The imperial doctor said that I have taken some kind of medicine for a long time, but it is not harmful to my body. One can make me fall asleep quickly, and the other can make me produce... Hallucination."

Ji Yan suddenly raised her head and opened her eyes slightly: "You already know..."

"Well, I know it was you who did it, and I had doubts about it before, but those dreams are too beautiful and real, and I don't want to think ill of you."

Xie Lin raised his hand and rubbed her head twice.

Ji Yan pursed her lips: "Aren't you angry? I've always kept you in the dark."

Xie Linque said: "I married you by force in the first place. I didn't ask about your wishes, so why should I be angry with you? You just refused to succumb to fate and wanted to protect yourself."

Ji Yan opened her lips, not knowing what to say. She stared at him blankly and could only say awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"You are not sorry for me." Xie Lin smiled gently on his lips and said patiently, "I am very happy that you are willing to take the initiative to tell me the truth today. In total, you have been with me for a year. Time, you have never changed your mind towards me, how can I not know your thoughts, how can I force you again."

"I can also abandon you, Yanyan, but from now on, how will you deal with yourself in Shangjing alone? I can't rest assured. If you don't want to be my wife and concubine, you can stay in the house under another identity. , so that I can continue to take care of you."

Ji Yan was stunned: "But I..."

The chief assistant interrupted her and said: "Are you afraid that I will force you to stay in the house and still have other agendas for you?"

Ji Yan shook her head. He knew that he was very kind to her, but she didn't want him to be taken advantage of again. What's more, if he knew about the matter between her and Xie Yuan, he might not be so good-tempered again.

Xie Lin shook his head when he saw her, and his heart softened, "I know, but this is the only thing I want to force you to do. You will stay in Xie's house as my adopted sister from now on, okay?"

Ji Yan was stunned and wanted to say something else, but the chief assistant no longer wanted to hear her say any more.

He was still a little unhappy, but he was too doting on her and was unwilling to hurt her.

Ji Yan also acquiesced. After the confession, Xie Lin did not take the initiative to get close to her as before. At most, he only touched her head like an elder.

Ji Yan really felt sorry for him, but recognizing her as his adopted sister seemed to be Xie Lin's last line. No matter what his purpose was, at least he didn't want to completely cut off ties with her now.

Ji Yan sighed, calmed down obediently, and returned to the capital. The chief minister invited the Qian brothers and sisters to stay one night in the Xie Mansion, and the next morning he sent someone to send the two brothers and sisters to join their uncle.

Qian Wu was so nervous that he didn't notice the change in the aura between the first assistant and Ji Yan. He brought Yaoyao over and said with cupped hands: "Then thank you Brother Zhongji for your hospitality."

"Brother Wu is the benefactor of our Xie family. There is no need to be formal. You can visit the Xie family often in the future."

Qian Wu agreed with a smile and took Yaoyao to follow the steward to the guest room.

Xie Linze took Ji Yan to the study room. He asked her to sit down in front of the desk, and he sat opposite. Xie Lin took up his pen and wrote a letter of divorce, not a letter of divorce. It's more decent for books.

Afraid that she would be worried, he wrote another deed, writing in it that from now on he would only recognize her as his adopted sister, and would never have any ulterior motives. He would also restrain himself and observe etiquette, and would never step beyond the bounds of danger.

He considered all aspects for her, wrote the letter of divorce and the deed, and said: "If I tell everyone now that you and I have reconciled, I am afraid that the slaves in the courtyard will not be able to be suppressed, and the aunt in the backyard will also be afraid of the divorce." If you come to make things difficult, I will not publicize this matter for the time being. In the Xie Mansion, others will still think you are your aunt, as long as you and I know that we are brother and sister."

"Okay?"

"Yeah." Ji Yan nodded.

Xie Lin added: "Don't be afraid, Yanyan. I will inform Yuan'er about this matter. There will be a third person to testify, so you can rest assured."

Ji Yan was slightly startled, staring at the first assistant for a long time with her Xing Er eyes. She had doubted before that the first assistant could see the unusual difference between her and Xie Yuan, but now she was a little unsure.

But thinking about it from another perspective, it seems that Xie Yuan still didn't take advantage of her aunt's transformation into an aunt.

If she thought this way, she would not be able to see through the first assistant.

After returning home, Xie Yuan was picked up by the prince's people and brought to the palace to see the saint.

During the disaster relief trip to Cangzhou, the prince won the hearts of the people. The governors of eight of the nine counties in Cangzhou wrote lengthy memorials praising the prince for his kindheartedness. The people were full of praise for the prince.

The popular limericks in Cangzhou also spread to Shangjing. They were catchy and loved by the emperor. Under the recommendation of the prince, the emperor read Xie Yuan's articles written in Cangzhou and liked them very much. When he learned that Xie Yuan had returned to Beijing, he I couldn't wait to meet him.

It was the first time for Xie Yuan to meet the emperor. When faced with the emperor's questions, the young man answered them all.

The emperor was overjoyed and ordered him to take the scientific examination the next year. The emperor hoped to meet him again in the palace examination.

There is no need for the emperor to ask for it. The prince's original intention is for Xie Yuan to come first in next year's imperial examination. If he fails to become the number one scholar, he will just be a dog like Jing He.

The prince doesn't raise any useless trash other than dogs.

When Xie Yuan came back from the palace, it was already dark. The sky and the earth were so vast. In this prosperous Shangjing, his aunt was the only person he wanted to see.
