Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 274 Former Fiance
He didn't move until the curtain beside him was blown to his arm by the wind, looked over and said, "The small alley behind Xiangguo Temple, is the place where you and Han Min clashed that day?"

The voice was deep and slow, but there was not much emotion to be heard.

Shen Xi nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Huai's throat rolled, and then he bit his upper lip and looked out the window with frowning.

Outside the window, there are autumn sun, fallen leaves and wind.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and said: "There is such a thing..." After speaking, he looked at her again, and said: "But it doesn't matter, no matter who you are—come here."

He stretched out his arms to hug her, and the surprise and astonishment in his eyes gradually disappeared.

With slightly red eyes, Shen Xi leaned over.

But the arm he stretched out halfway stopped suddenly, and she stopped halfway awkwardly, looking up at him.

"You are Zhang Yu's younger sister, Zhang Ying, so what is your relationship with the Xu family?"

His brows and eyes turned cold again, and his arms had changed to hang down on his knees.

"Su Yan said that Zhang Ying didn't leave the cabinet. Why were you buried in the Xu family? Why did the Wen family single out the Xu family graveyard to deal with you? You took the risk to protect your own tomb?"

Shen Xi couldn't help admiring his sensitivity, every question was the key.

She took a deep breath and said: "Although I have not left the court, Xu Jing, the son of Duke An, is my fiancé. I was engaged to him as a childhood sweetheart at the age of 16, and I died not long after.

"After I died, he asked my father to bury me in the Xu family cemetery.

"Wen Chan chose the Xu family cemetery to deal with me because Xu Jing was buried next to me. Not only did she want to destroy my grave, but she also threatened me with the graves of Xu Jing and the ancestors of the Xu family."

My childhood sweetheart's fiancé...

Xiao Huai's eyes suddenly turned cold, he squinted at the window, and said again: "Why did the Wen family kill you back then?"

Shen Xi was very angry, not knowing what to say.

Wen Chan killed her because of jealousy, but this jealousy also included Xu Jing.If it wasn't for Xu Jing, maybe she wouldn't be able to make up her mind to kill her.

But how was she going to tell him such a thing?

"Speak," he said.

She inhaled and said it: "She's jealous of me."

"Jealous about what?" he asked again.

Shen Xi knew that the more she concealed, the more he would investigate, and even, he might directly ask Wen Chan.

Once the man in front of him becomes suspicious, he is not the kind of person willing to be kept in the dark.

She looked up at him and said, "She's jealous that I have everything she doesn't have, including Xu Jing."

He was still looking out the window, but his whole body was already blown cold by the autumn wind.

Shen Xi felt a sense of suffocation.

Suddenly there was another whisper in front of him.

"So she killed you because she was jealous. And you want revenge because she won?"

The voice was a little ethereal, not as warm as before.

"Not entirely." Shen Xi pursed his lips, "My lord, you may not be able to imagine the pain of being betrayed.

"I've never been selfless to her, but in the end I died because of her jealousy. She denied everything the Zhang family and I did for her, and she felt that I didn't deserve—"

"How long has Xu Jing been with you?" he said.

Shen Xi was silent for a moment, then raised his head: "Our two families are family friends for several generations. I have known him since I can remember."

Xiao Huai looked straight ahead, and suddenly laughed: "The childhood sweethearts I've known since I can remember took you to my graveyard to be buried in my own graveyard even before I was married, and I was buried next to you after my own death. Such an affectionate man, How rare!
"So, you must like him very much."

"Not the kind of liking you think it is," she said.

"What kind is that?" Xiao Huai turned his face full of sarcasm, "You won't tell me that you don't have any feelings for him, will you?
"After 16 years of love, you even fell in love with me, who you have known for less than a year. You have no feelings for your ex-fiancé? Do you not like him?
"If you don't like him, how could you fall into Wen's trap even though you know it's dangerous!"

"Your Majesty, Xu Jing and I are childhood playmates, not a marriage contract because of mutual affection!"

Shen Xidao: "My brother is several years older than me, and my cousins ​​are all older than me, they all treat me like a child, only Xu Jing is willing to be my friend.

"So we often play together, but my feelings for him are really different from those for you."

"It means that you can give up the life I saved for you without hesitation to protect him who has been dead for many years!

"And you don't care about me who don't know how to deal with you when you make a mistake?!"

Xiao Huai looked at her, finally stood up, looked down at her and sneered.

"This is what you call different. You think you can still die for him, but I deserve to watch you die for another man! It's a man who died a long time ago!"

"Sir!"

Shen Xi also stood up.

"Don't call me!"

Xiao Huai was furious, bloodshot eyes even appeared around the open eye sockets: "You know that they want to kill you, and they are threatening you as a dead person, but you still run directly to him!
"I believe everything you say. If you say you are reincarnated, I will believe you are reincarnated. If you say you are Zhang Ying, I will believe you are Zhang Ying. Even He Lanzhun went to save you and stayed with you all night. Don't care!

"But I can't accept that you are still thinking about a man who once had a marriage contract with you!
"—How can you be so selfish?
"Have you ever thought about what I would do if you died?
"Your life was saved by me. If you hadn't met me, you would have died a long time ago! How can you allow yourself to die for that Xu?!
"I didn't keep you in order to let you prove your loyalty to your ex-fiancé!"

The room was filled with his roar.

Shen Xi's heart was strained to the extreme, she pursed her lips for a while, and said, "Are you calm down?
"I'm sure. If there is no chance of winning, I will wait until I have a chance of winning. In my position, it is very difficult for me to choose—"

"Sure?" He laughed, "There are more than a dozen killers on the other side, and you think nothing will happen to you?
"Do you know that I was thinking of you when Song Jiao came after me? But you were rushing to guard the grave of your dead fiancé!
"You said, are you being fair to me?!
"If you die, do I deserve to be alone in front of your tablet for the rest of my life, or do I deserve to live my life with hatred for you and jealousy for that man?

"You can do this for him, and I can still believe that you have no affection for him? Can you believe that you never liked him?!"

Shen Xi held his breath.

She said: "I am only out of morality. A person who has been with you for so many years is also a friend after all. I can't convince myself to turn a blind eye!

"What's more, I'm the only one left in Zhang family and Xu family.

"Wen Chan and the others are aiming at destroying the grave. Even if I am not Xu Jing's fiancée, or the Xu family's nephew, I can't let them do this!"
