The charming girl

Chapter 44 Awake
Even the most stupid person can hear the conflict between Su Yuyi and Xie Shiyan at this time.

Ms. Lin glanced at her husband awkwardly, laughed dryly, and sat back angrily.

What should have been a joyful meal turned out to be boring.

After the meal, Su Yuyi refused her mother's request to stay and returned home with Xie Shiyan.

Just like in the past, after getting off the sedan, the two of them walked towards the main courtyard one after the other.

Su Yuyi was absent-minded, so he didn't notice the road under his feet. After walking a few steps, he suddenly tripped over a stone under his feet.

Su Yuyi was startled, and just as she was about to fall, Xie Shiyan, who was behind her, stretched out his hand in time and held her waist firmly.

Falling into his broad embrace, Su Yuyi felt a dull feeling in her heart. She grabbed Xie Shiyan's sleeves, barely stood up, and tried to push him away.

Unexpectedly, Xie Shiyan took advantage of the situation and held her hand.

His palms were covered with a thin layer of calluses, and the warmth wrapped around her palms. Su Yuyi frowned and was about to break away. Unexpectedly, she noticed that Xie Shiyan was looking at her, with a rare tenderness in his eyes. .

"Ayi."

His thin lips moved and he spoke his name softly.

The two of them just looked at each other. At this moment, the look in Su Yuyi's eyes changed from puzzlement to a bit dazed.

Logically speaking, she should have hated him and always thought of the things he and Shen Xiulan had done to deceive and hurt her.

But at this moment, for some reason, what she thought of was not those, but the scene of Xie Shiyan being injured in the hands of bandits, and the words "Xie Shiyan loves Su Yuyi" on the purse he asked Fu Qiu to embroider again. , comes to mind repeatedly.

Su Yuyi's chest heaved, and her heartbeat suddenly started to speed up.

At this moment, Xie Shiyan didn't seem so annoying anymore.

At this moment, a woman suddenly came in a hurry not far away. She was running in a hurry.

Seeing the two of them, he hurriedly saluted and said immediately: "General, you are finally back!"

Xie Shiyan recognized that this was the new person placed in the courtyard of Shen Xiulan's mother and son.

He frowned and said, "Is Brother Li getting worse again?"

The mother-in-law shook her head and grinned: "No, Brother Li suddenly woke up just now. Mrs. Shen asked me to come and tell you, so I hurriedly came to deliver the message."

Su Yu frowned in confusion.

She remembered that when she saw Brother Li two days ago, his complexion was sallow, as if his life was dying.

Did you wake up in just a blink of an eye?

It's a bit too fast.

Xie Shiyan didn't expect that much, and his expression suddenly brightened, "Really? When did you wake up?"

The mother-in-law said hurriedly: "Just now, if you go over now, you might be able to listen to Brother Li say a few words."

After Xie Shiyan finished, he subconsciously let go of Su Yuyi's hand and wanted to follow his mother-in-law.

Su Yuyi looked at her palm, which was suddenly hanging in the wind. It was empty, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

She looked at Xie Shiyan's turned back, her chest felt heavy, and she stood motionless.Xie Shiyan took a few steps forward, then suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to Su Yuyi, "Ayi, do you want to go over there and take a look together?"

It's okay not to mention this, but Su Yuyi gets very angry when he mentions it. But on the surface, Xie Shuli is just Xie Shiyan's nephew, and she is the mistress of the family. As an uncle, there is nothing wrong with visiting her nephew. What about it?
Su Yuyi tried her best to keep her face calm and said calmly: "I won't go. I want to go back and rest first."

Xie Shiyan thought of the way her face turned pale from vomiting when eating in the evening, and nodded, saying, "That's fine. If you feel very uncomfortable, send someone over to call me."

Su Yuyi hummed coldly.

In the room, the candlelight on the table swayed gently, bringing a lonely light and shadow to the room.

Su Yuyi sat lonely at the table, holding a scroll of scriptures in her hands, using the faint light to identify the words on it.

But no matter how she looked at it, the words on it were like ants, gnawing at every inch of her skin so densely that she had no intention of looking into them.

Seeing Su Yuyi frowning tightly, Shichun would change her posture from time to time. She thought it was because the candlelight was too dim, so she suggested: "Miss, why don't I light two more candles? It's too much trouble for you to read like this." ”

Su Yuyi suddenly dropped the book in her hand and stopped her.

"and many more."

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Shichun saw the solemnity and depression in Su Yuyi's face.

In fact, she had never seen Su Yuyi happy in recent days. Even when she returned to the general's mansion, she rarely smiled.

Shichun has been with Su Yuyi for so many years, and he can probably guess that the young lady's behavior is probably related to her uncle.

But if the young lady didn't take the initiative to mention it, how could she, a servant, take care of her master's affairs?
Su Yuyi frowned and seemed to have been thinking for a long time before slowly asking: "What do you think about the relationship between Xie Shiyan and Shen Xiulan?"

Shichun was stunned for a moment, looked around, and found that there was no one around, so he plucked up the courage and asked in a low voice: "Miss, you mean, my uncle and that sister-in-law?"

Su Yuyi glanced at Shichun and nodded anxiously.

Shichun thought about it secretly for a while and said hesitantly: "Miss, since you asked, the servant dared to speak. From the slave's point of view, the sister-in-law always seems to like to pester my uncle. From time to time, she will let him Going to her hospital, logically speaking, the identities of the two of them are unusual, which is a bit against the rules, but the young master has such a strange disease, which makes it impossible to say anything."

What Shi Chun said was very reasonable.

Su Yuyi took a breath, glanced at Shi Chun, and said, "You continue."

Shichun didn't dare to say anything more, he just lowered his eyes and said cautiously: "Miss is unhappy, and the servants can actually see it. It's just my uncle's attitude towards young lady. We servants have always seen it, so why not I hope the young lady will not get divorced from my uncle because of this matter."

Su Yuyi didn't want to hear this, knowing that Shichun wouldn't say anything else, so she pressed the case with her fingertips, preparing to let her go down.

Just at this moment, there was a sound of vigorous footsteps outside the door.

Then, Xie Shiyan appeared in front of him. He looked in high spirits and said happily: "Ayi, brother Li is really much better."

While talking, he sat down next to Su Yuyi, raised the kettle on the table, and poured several sips into his mouth.

Water stains flowed down his chin, rolled over his Adam's apple, and soaked his clothes.

Su Yuyi turned her face away and said calmly: "Really?"

Xie Shiyan nodded and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, my sister-in-law said that she wants to visit a temple in the capital tomorrow and wants you to accompany her there."
