The charming girl

Chapter 13
"No problem."

Xie Shiyan waved his hands with a look of disapproval.

Zangdong couldn't persuade him, so he quietly retreated.

Xie Shiyan gently placed his cloak on Su Yuyi's shoulders and stared at her in concentration.

During the day, she was always arrogant and beautiful. In those arrogant moments, she was more like a swallowtail butterfly in the scorching sun than the flowers and plants she loved. It was so radiant that people couldn't take their eyes away.

But when she is asleep, she has an unknown, beautiful and lovely side.

Two thick eyelashes press the eyelashes, and the skin is like fine white porcelain. Occasionally, when she sleeps in a daze, her lips will be slightly pursed, and she will murmur in her sleep.

Xie Shiyan couldn't get enough of this pretty face.

He couldn't help but lean down and place a shallow kiss on her forehead.

Half an hour later, Su Yuyi woke up feeling uneasy.

In her sleep, she saw the one-eyed man stabbing her with a dagger, and dreamed of Shi Chun Fu Qiu being pressed under the table, with his face covered in blood and screaming in tears.

In between, she seemed to dream of someone kissing her forehead.

Su Yuyi was a little confused.

"Are you awake? Why are you sweating so much?"

Xie Shiyan didn't have a handkerchief, so he held up his sleeves and wiped her face.

Thinking of the tender flesh of her body, which was usually the weakest, and fearing that it would hurt her, he deliberately softened the pressure.

Su Yuyi was not in the mood to care about this at the moment. She wanted to stand up and go to the inner room to take a look, but her back was sore and her legs were numb, so she suddenly fell back to her seat.

Seeing this, Xie Shiyan sighed softly, squatted down and kneaded her calf.

"Are you worried about Shichun and the others?"

"Don't worry, Shi Chun is fine. It's just that Fu Qiu's injury is more serious. But the old doctor said that as long as he recovers well, he will be fine in about half a month."

Hearing what he said, Su Yuyi nodded in a daze, finally feeling relieved.

"If you are worried, I will have them sent back to the house early tomorrow morning so that they can be recuperated. Maybe they will recover in less than half a month."

Xie Shiyan was used to seeing major and minor injuries on the battlefield, so Su Yuyi still trusted his words.

Su Yuyi thought about the thieves who came ahead of time. It was not known whether other incidents would happen on the next journey.

Since the risk is unknown, it would be better to let Fuqiu go back, so as not to suffer the same fate as himself.

It was almost dawn, and Fuqiu woke up.

Su Yuyi went in to give her instructions and said some comforting words to her.

After discussion between the master and the servants, they finally decided to let Zangdong, the youngest, accompany Fuqiu back home. As for Shichun and Zhaixia, they still went to Xie's house with her.

Before the sun came up, Su Yuyi couldn't stand it any longer. She reluctantly muttered a few more words about Fuqiu and Zangdong, then took Shichun and Zhaixia with her and returned to the carriage to rest.

This trip started early, so Xie Shiyan didn't wake her up specifically.

So the carriage still swayed forward, like a boat floating in the river.

After what happened that night, Xie Shiyan was very cautious during the rest of the journey.

At night, people must be arranged to take turns guarding the door of Su Yuyi's room.

Fortunately, the rest of the journey was smooth. Two or three days later, we arrived at Xie Shiyan's hometown, Qingshi Town.

The Xie family lives in the far west of Qingshi Town.

Xie Shiyan had reached the fifth rank and was the only general who walked out of the town. Therefore, when he was approaching the town, the local county magistrate and the township chief had already led people to greet him.

After greeting each other, Xie Shiyan put on his horse and walked in front, looking majestic.

It's just that he is timid about being close to home, or thinking about his brother's death, there is always a sense of compassion in his eyebrows that is rarely seen in daily life.

Even so, there were still some people who loved to watch the excitement, standing on both sides of the street with their children, looking at Xie Shiyan on his horse. Those children were very excited. "Mom, I want to be a general when I grow up! It's so majestic!"

These words hit Su Yuyi's ears.

There are many talents in the capital, and her two brothers are also among them. Normally, she never thought that Xie Shiyan had such a respected side.

With a thought in mind, Su Yuyi opened a corner of the sedan curtain and saw half of the man's white robe hanging down on the side of the horse's belly.

As if feeling the gaze behind him, Xie Shiyan turned his head and looked at her from afar.

Su Yuyi quickly lowered her eyes and immediately lowered the curtain again.

After walking less than two miles, we finally arrived at Xie's house.

The Xie family's house is not ostentatious, and as soon as you enter the blue-tiled courtyard house, there happens to be a family living there.

There is still some room in front of and behind the house so that we can grow fruits and vegetables on weekdays.

However, at this time, white flags and elegiac couplets were hung on the beams and doors, showing sadness everywhere.

My father-in-law thanked Chang Hai and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, for waiting at the door early.

The last time I saw them, the two old men were still in high spirits, although their hair was a little grayer.

Now that the eldest son died prematurely, the two elders were deeply affected and had to arrange the funeral. However, in just a few days, their faces looked much older.

Behind them...

Su Yuyi got off the sedan and saw Shen Xiulan behind the two elders at a glance, and her heart froze.

The thin woman was dressed plainly, with a linen white dress that made her figure even more slender. She was frail and had only a simple silver hairpin in her hair.

Although Shen Xiulan came from a small place, she was quite pretty.

But when compared with the beautiful Su Yuyi, it was a bit unsatisfactory.

At Shen Xiulan's side, there was also a half-year-old child following closely.

The naughty boy didn't know the intention of his father's death, so he was restless and wanted to free his hand from Shen Xiulan's hand so that he could play naughty with other companions.

This is the gift of gratitude.

In fact, he was quite round and cute, but when Su Yuyi thought that this was the result of Xie Shiyan and Shen Xiulan's affair, her heart turned upside down.

Mother-in-law Li walked over carefully at this time and was about to support Su Yuyi, but she suddenly covered her handkerchief and vomited it out.

Li was already in awe of this general's daughter, but when she saw Su Yuyi's unhappy expression, she was even more frightened, and asked cautiously: "What's going on? Are you tired?"

Su Yuyi looked pale and shook her head. She was about to say that she was fine, but when she looked up, she happened to see Shen Xiulan and her son approaching Xie Shiyan.

The three of them stood together, and Shen Xiulan secretly glanced at Xie Shiyan.

The meaning of that look was unclear, whether it was panic or admiration, but it always made people feel uncomfortable.

Su Yuyi's anger surged up, and he immediately spat out more.

Shichun and others were also frightened and quickly helped her soothe her back.

Xie Shiyan, who was chatting with the guests at the side, rushed over and directly hugged Su Yuyi in.

Su Yuyi pursed her lips in discomfort. She wanted to push him away, but her hands were soft and she couldn't use her strength.

Walking forward quickly, Li followed closely behind and took Xie Shiyan to the best wing.

The daughter-in-law is a rich woman and cannot be neglected. The two elders arranged it a few days in advance in order to make her live better.

Su Yuyi didn't have the strength to break free, so she let Xie Shiyan lay her down on the bed. She drank water and rinsed her mouth obediently, and then she felt better.

Seeing this, Xie Shiyan was about to feel relieved, so he planned to let her rest first while he went to pay homage to his eldest brother Xie Shiyu's soul.

Su Yuyi unexpectedly grabbed his hand and said coldly: "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
