The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

Yu Xiuyun was shocked and angry, and his heart was broken by Xie Xuan's words. From now on, he would not see her if he could.

On the day when Xiangyang City was defeated, on the way to retreat to Jiangling, he was afraid that she would take advantage of the chaos to escape, so he ordered the shadow guards to keep a close watch on her.

Not half a day later, the shadow guard came to report with a sad look on his face: "Madam said the food was not delicious."

Yu Xiuyun's teeth were itching, so he closed his eyes and corrected, "It's Mrs. Shen."

He sighed and put down his chopsticks, "Let her come over."

"I want to go back." Xie Xuan looked at him steadily, "I will use 70% of my dowry to pay you for the military. You let me go."

"Impossible." Yu Xiuyun looked directly into her eyes, "Don't you think there are too many mysteries about you?"

"I'm just an ordinary person," she said with sincere eyes, "and I'm not very smart either."

Yu Xiuyun choked for a moment, wanted to sigh again, rubbed his forehead and said: "Don't think about this, you are still useful."

Xie Xuan was not surprised when she found that the request could not be fulfilled. She stared at the untouched food in his bowl and said, "Can I eat it?"

"……able."

He watched Xie Xuan take away all the meat without ceremony, and suddenly felt his head hurt even more.

When they arrived in Jiangling, Xie Xuan calmed down a lot.

According to historical records, this battle will be over soon, and she will be able to return to Chang'an soon.

As expected, not long after, the front line was retreating steadily. Xie Xuan took advantage of the panic in the house and sneaked into the study, planning to ask Yu Xiuyun to write a letter of reconciliation.

After all, I have paid my respects. What if someone makes a fuss about this matter in the future.

Unexpectedly, he was vomiting blood, and Xie Xuan was so frightened that she completely forgot about it.

After she returned in a daze, she found that others only thought of her as Shen Jiyuan's widow, so she felt relieved.

In this era, there was no so-called restriction of Neo-Confucianism. Being a widow did not delay marriage. You could also claim to be your deceased husband and never marry and go to a Taoist temple to practice.

A wealthy family like the Xie family has its own Taoist temple, and with her mother and sister around, she can stay comfortably in her own home.

Who knows that she will see Marquis Pingyang in Shuijing Tower, and then Xie will send her to Marquis Pingyang's Mansion without hesitation.

Before leaving home, Mrs. Xie truly felt that this was a good marriage. After staying in Jingzhou for a while, her daughter's cheeks became rounder.

In Xie Xuan's memory, the relationship between the original owner and her mother was very good. In order not to make her sad, she insisted on telling nonsense: "My daughter does have a good relationship with Marquis Pingyang, so mother doesn't need to worry."

When they arrived at the Hou Mansion, Yu Xiuyun saw her and wanted to see her off. Xie Xuan turned around and saw the dowry mother sent by her mother frowning. She quickly rushed towards him, digging her nails into the man's back, looking remorseful.

"Husband, it's my fault. If I had known that you were deeply in love with me and that I was the only one in this life, I would never have taken any concubines for you when I was in Xiangyang." Xie Xuan's face was full of sincerity, and she looked up at the livid man, " Husband, can you forgive me?"

Yu Xiuyun's throat was choked, and he didn't know where to start from a thousand words. He couldn't bear to do it in front of Mr. Xie, and the veins on his forehead popped out.

Xie Xuan asked everyone else to go out. When there were only two people in the room, she immediately let go and said with a dry laugh: "It's just a temporary measure."

She came up with the prepared words, "You also know my current situation. How about you admit this marriage first? If you meet a woman you like in the future, we can divorce."

"From your own point of view, marrying the Xie family is the best choice." Xie Xuan thought of the upcoming academic exams. The person in front of her would be the examiner, and a group of famous ministers would be promoted, "You It’s not too late to make a decision later, you will need Xie’s support very much.”

"The King of Wei also hopes that you will marry the Xie family." Xie Xuan did not dare to look at his face and said bravely, "Otherwise, based on the movements in my family, the King of Wei has already sent someone to stop it."

She couldn't guess the effect of her words, so she stared at the man in front of her anxiously, and relaxed when she saw him nodding.

On weekdays, Xie Xuan and he didn't talk much, nor did they sleep together.

Within half a month, my mother found out about this and asked her worriedly what was going on.

She had no choice but to shamelessly go to the study to block Yu Xiuyun. She grabbed the man's official uniform and said, "You go to sleep in my room tonight."

After Xie Xuan finished speaking, she saw him looking frivolous. She took a deep breath and said, "Just lie down for a few nights, otherwise my mother will be suspicious."

Yu Xiuyun finally nodded reluctantly.

She was not used to having a man sleeping next to her, so she made a bed on the ground the next night, lay upright on it, and wrapped herself in the quilt like a silkworm chrysalis, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

"Why are you staring at me?" Xie Xuan asked in confusion.

"You get up first." Yu Xiuyun's eyebrows twitched, "I'll just sleep on the floor."

"When did you become so conscientious?" After she finished speaking, she saw the face of the person in front of her darkened slightly, and he coughed twice and said, "Since you said that, I can't refuse."

After she jumped onto the bed, she glanced at Yu Xiuyun. For some reason, she always felt that he was weak, so she couldn't help but order someone to add a brocade quilt to his bed.

After sleeping like this for a while, my mother suddenly sent someone over and said that my grandmother was celebrating her birthday and that she could go back and stay for a few days.

The words were full of longing, Xie Xuan didn't want to make Mrs. Xie sad, and suddenly felt a headache.

She and Yu Xiuyun always respected each other like ice, and their secret would definitely be revealed when they returned.

It is impossible for Marquis Pingyang to act with her.

The words passed down by the Xie family servant were known to Yu Xiuyun. When he saw her frowning that night, he guessed the reason. After being silent for a while, he said: "You do me a few favors, and I will perform a show with you."

Xie Xuan nodded hurriedly. If she had known that these affairs were related to King Wei, she would never have nodded.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Fortunately, Marquis Pingyang kept his promise and acted conscientiously as a good son-in-law after stepping into the Xie family's door.

Realizing that Yu Xiuyun couldn't just throw away his hand and leave in Xie's house, Xie Xuan thought of how he had manipulated her in the past few days, and felt jealous for a moment.

When Mrs. Xie invited the two of them to have a chat in the pavilion, she smiled at Marquis Pingyang and said, "My daughter has been in poor health since she was a child. You have to be more tolerant of her."

Xie Xuan turned her face and glanced at him, which made his hair stand on end.

Her voice was suddenly sweet, with a bit of the shyness of a newlywed girl, and she said stickyly: "My husband always treats me very well. I even wish I could feed him the cakes with my own hands."

Yu Xiuyun's face froze, and his whole body was prickly. He felt extremely uncomfortable. Xie Xuan spoke in such a tone, it would be better to scold him directly.

For three days in a row, Xie Xuan spoke to him like this in the palace. She held his arm no matter where she went. Only when no one was around did she let go of her hand. Looking at his livid face, she smiled and said: "Marquis Pingyang is not feeling well." ?”

Xie Xuan discovered early on that for some reason Yu Xiuyun particularly rejected physical contact and was extremely sensitive to the approach of others.

He must have been feeling very uncomfortable these past few days in Xie's Mansion.

After returning to Pingyang Hou Mansion, in the middle of the night, Xie Xuan found someone quietly climbing onto her bed.

After seeing who it was, she squinted her eyes and said, "What are you doing here?"

In the past few days in Xie's Mansion, my mother was very satisfied with Yu Xiuyun's performance and had long since dispelled her suspicions. They did not need to continue sleeping in the same room.

"This is Pingyang Marquis Mansion, I want to sleep here now."

After saying that, Yu Xiuyun closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep. No matter how Xie Xuan shook him, he didn't wake up.

For several nights, Xie Xuan had a big living person lying next to her. She was not used to it at all. The consequence of not getting enough rest was that she felt miserable even during the day.

She couldn't figure out what Marquis Pingyang was doing, until in the middle of the night, the man next to her suddenly chuckled and said, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Xie Xuan was agitated and cooperated with him to take revenge for the trouble she had given him in Xie's Mansion.

She didn't say anything. The more she thought about it the next day, the angrier she became. She felt that she and Yu Xiuyun had lost their wits and were quarreling like little brats.

This won't work. She is an adult and should learn to regulate her emotions by herself.

For example, find some adult fun to regulate your emotions.

She had a widowed cousin who had always been fun-loving. During the banquet, he saw her face slumped and said softly, "Good sister, but things have not been going well in the house recently. I didn't expect Marquis Pingyang to look at her so handsomely. In fact, it’s so useless.”

Xie Xuan didn't say a word, and she had no intention of clearing up Yu Xiuyun's name.

"I heard that a new waiter has arrived at Zuiyun Tower. How about I take you to see the world?"

Xie Xuan twitched her lips. Although there were not many restrictions on women in this era, and Princess Hualan, who was close to her cousin, was an upright supporter of actresses, she did not kill her husband after all, so cuckolding Marquis Pingyang was no small matter.

"That's all."

"Look at your expression, I'm probably thinking wrong again." My cousin smiled and said, "I'm just going for a massage, nothing else."

"really?"

"Of course it's true, we just went to the teahouse next to Zuiyun Tower to have some tea."

Xie Xuan was dubious until her cousin told her that a pot of tea in the teahouse costs 10 gold. In order to comfort her, her cousin treated her as a treat this time.

"Okay." Xie Xuan agreed immediately.

When we arrived at the teahouse, we found it to be a serious place, with several upper rooms where we could lie down and rest.

Xie Xuan was terribly sleepy. Before Yu Xiuyun went to bed last night, he said seriously: "You were talking in your sleep last night."

She was so frightened that she didn't dare to close her eyes for a long time, lest she say something messy.

She just wanted to sleep now. After stepping into the upper room, she said: "No one can come in. I will rest for a while."

My cousin felt that Xie Wuniang was being too cautious and said to the person next to her: "I remember that there is a young man here who is blind, so I asked him to touch my sister's eyes."

Xie Xuan caught a glimpse of the blind boy, and the words of rejection were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

A pair of beautiful, lifeless eyes looked at her, still filled with tears.

After she lay down, she motioned to the boy to wait outside.

The young man in front of me was too beautiful, as fragile as porcelain, and his ears could not hear. He could only express his wish to stay with words that did not form sentences, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Xie Xuan finally relented and signaled that he could only press his head and forget about other parts.

The young man nodded obediently, with an unusually gentle technique. Xie Xuan half-closed her eyes and fell into a very comfortable sleep. She vaguely felt that it was over, and even though she woke up, she still couldn't bear to open her eyes.

Taking advantage of the other party's inability to hear, she lamented: "With your method, you can make a lot of money by opening a shop outside, and you have such a black-hearted boss at the stall. Alas, my boss is also black-hearted. We are both the same people in the world. When I make peace one day, I will come and redeem you, and you and your sister will have a good time and drink spicy food."

After she finished speaking, she noticed the strange silence in the room, and a familiar voice sounded in her ears.

"Are you comfortable?"

Xie Xuan suddenly opened her eyes in excitement. Yu Xiuyun's face was very close. She didn't want to admire Pingyang Hou's appearance. She laughed twice and said: "Comfortable."

She was so nervous that she swallowed a few mouthfuls of air unconsciously. She realized that she and Yu Xiuyun were not a serious couple. She straightened her back and said, "It's comfortable. You can try it too, but you have to pay for it yourself."

Yu Xiuyun's teeth started to itch even more, and an unknown fire arose in his heart. He sneered and said, "You came here with me on your back and you are so confident. I will write a letter of separation tomorrow."

"Really?" Xie Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Can we still have a holiday?"

One sentence was as cold as ice, but it made Xie Xuanru feel like she was under the warm sunshine of spring.

The next day, He Lishu didn't come.

On the third day, He Lishu didn't come either.

On the fourth day, she finally couldn't bear it any longer. She hung around Yu Xiuyun, who was pretending to be dead, in the middle of the night, and urged, "Where is mine and Li Shu?"

Seeing that he was motionless, as if he was fast asleep and couldn't hear anything, Xie Xuan said quietly: "If you don't wake up, I will kiss you."
