Chapter 201: Broken Heart for Senior Brother(2/2)
It's like nothing happened.
"Xiannie, I and Qilang don't mean this."
"Niece Xian, please listen to uncle's explanation..."
"Okay, Uncle Su, Mother Weber, don't mention this matter anymore." Xie Lingjiang shook his head and turned a deaf ear.
Su Xian looked embarrassed, Wei Mei frowned slightly and wanted to speak, and Su Guoer was a little silent.
I don’t know if it’s because of his lack of experience or because of his personality that he’s too lazy to hide it. Anyone can see that Xie Lingjiang, who says he doesn’t care, still has a grudge in his heart.
After this noble daughter of the Xie family came to the Su Mansion in Longcheng, she always tried her best to protect the Su Mansion and never asked for anything. The Su Mansion family actually had a good impression of her.
However, no matter how good the friendship is, once interests are involved, it will be very troublesome. It is difficult to discuss the matter in a matter-of-fact manner and satisfy all parties.
But compared to Xie Lingjiang, who had admired and admired the relatively ideal noble character of "a scholar would die for his confidant" since childhood, Su Xian and his wife were relatively pragmatic and rational.
In the subsequent conversation, Su Xian and others found that Xie Lingjiang talked less and his attitude was much colder.
Su Dalang, who was younger and more impulsive, turned red and wanted to say something, but Wei Mei silently pulled him back.
Su Guo'er sighed slightly in her heart.
At this time, Xie Lingjiang stood up, walked to the desk, and said without looking back:
"Uncle, aunt, Da Lang, and the sisters of the Su family, let's stop talking about it today. I will write a letter to report to my father the things that uncle is worried about and the Wei family's news."
Wei Mei stepped forward, took Xie Lingjiang's hand, patted the back of her hand, and the elders and juniors smiled as if they were talking to each other:
"No rush, let's go have dinner together first. We happened to be together with Bao'er. Your uncle caught a big fish today. The fish pond is the most delicious in this season, which is good for my daughter's fair skin."
Xie Lingjiang shook his head and declined.
Wei Mei felt the strength of the girl in front of her silently twitching her hand, and the smile on her face became a little embarrassed.
Xie Ling Jianghu said:
"Mother Weber, Uncle Su, don't worry if this chat is not pleasant, I will throw away my sleeves and leave, or I will not fulfill my duties. Everything as promised before will remain as usual. If the Wei family has murderous intentions and the situation is not right, I will do my best to escort you away.
"In addition, the sixth-grade palace people sent by Empress Wei will arrive in Dragon City in a few days. Uncle Su doesn't have to worry all day long. He should keep his spirits up and adapt to changes."
After saying that, Xie Ling Jiang went to the desk without looking back, laying out paper and grinding ink, which was obviously a farewell gesture.
Su Xian and Wei Mei looked at each other, their expressions a little moved and moved.
But immediately, Su Xian turned around dejectedly and shook his head in frustration. As if he remembered his wife's question just now, he murmured silently:
"I am in such a state of desolation that I dare not even write a letter...I feel sorry for Taizong and Gaozong, but my descendants have no future..."
The woman in the long skirt silently stretched out a hand and held the back of the hand of the down-and-out middle-aged wealthy man, conveying some warmth.
Su Guo'er and Su Dalang also stayed close to Su Xian, offering some comfort.
The Su family is preparing to leave the study together.
At this moment, the panicked voices of the maids guarding Yilanxuan suddenly came from the yard:
"Alas, Master Ouyang, you can't go in, you can't go in!"
"Why? Isn't the junior sister inside? I saw that her study window was open, and she seemed to be writing. I happened to have something to ask her about, so don't come in and disturb me later."
Ouyang Rongzhuangruo's casual tone was heard, and his footsteps were heard immediately.
The maids hurriedly said: "But Miss Xie said that no one is allowed to enter the study without her instructions."
Someone seemed to pause in his steps and burst into laughter:
"Um, is that so? You are so wary of thieves in broad daylight. What are you doing? All right, please go in and report... Just tell me, senior brother, I have something urgent."
"Here, Mr. Ouyang, please wait a moment." The maid responded quickly.
Immediately, the footsteps of the announcing maid were heard in the courtyard.
In the study, Su Xian, Wei Mei, Su Guo'er, and Su Dalang were all startled. They turned their heads in the direction of the desk and looked at Xie Lingjiang, who was looking at him in surprise.
Xie Lingjiang immediately lowered his head and packed up the letters on his desk. After a little hesitation, he said:
"If the senior brother sees Uncle Su like this, it will probably be a little difficult to explain. The same goes for Da Lang. You are all gathered here at this time in the morning... Well, go ahead and wait in the inner room while I go deal with the senior brother.
…”
The Su family: "..."
