Chapter 15
"Not afraid."
Su Yining raised her head and met his eyes, neither humble nor overbearing.
Hearing what she said, Xie Yu was not surprised at all. Instead, he chuckled calmly: "Why?"
Since he returned to Jinling, it seems that every time they meet, he will ask her why? Why did you break off the engagement, why did you believe that he would not retaliate, why was your life not going well, and why were you so anxious to see someone else.
Su Yining never answered directly, and he might not believe some of the things she said. If you take a step back and say that even if he believes it, it won't change anything, then there is no need to reveal what happened back then and repeatedly pull at each other's wounds.
"Speak." Xie Yu's tone was a little anxious, but his expression did not change.
Su Yining tilted her head and stopped looking at him. Her voice was as calm as ever: "You won't deliberately embarrass me. If you really wanted to cause trouble, you wouldn't have come out to see me today. Because you understand I don’t have the temperament to ask for help.”
There was a gust of wind outside the window, blowing the window of the elegant room, and a slightly cool wind blew in from the window.
Xie Yu walked over and closed the window tightly: "It's been three years, everything will change."
No one will stay in the same place forever.
He turned around and stood by the window, his eyes as cold as the moon, and when he looked at Su Yining, his eyes were filled with unbreakable gloom.
Su Yining understood the thank you in the past, but she really couldn't figure out the thank you now. Indeed, after three years, everything will change. She can't always compare her previous praise with the person standing in front of her now.
The praises of the past are like the bright moon, the stranger is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.
Nowadays, Xie Yu has changed the direction of the court, and he is a popular person in front of the Holy Emperor.
But she really wanted the approval document for establishing a female household in his hand. Su Yining pursed her lips and whispered: "We have known each other for a while, can't you be accommodating?"
There was a trace of unknown meaning in Xie Yu's eyes, and he curled his lips: "Miss Su Er, do you think we have any kind of friendship in the past that is worthy of my accommodation?"
It was okay if he didn't ask. When he asked, Su Yining choked and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
At that moment, several thoughts ran through her mind, whether she should complain to him, cry, fight, and sympathize with him, or humiliate him and beg him, or talk to him about their past friendship.
But no matter which one it is, it seems difficult to make Xie Yu relent. After all, as he said, today is different from the past, and she can no longer figure out his temper.
After thinking about it for a while, she finally seemed to be discouraged: "That's it, I don't want to approve the application anymore. I'm sorry for the inconvenience today."
After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back.
This time Xie Yu didn't stop her, he just stood there and looked at her back, the signed approval document in his hand was crinkled.
He has obviously done everything for her, and he obviously can't bear to let her run around begging for help, but he is always unwilling to do so, wanting her to compromise, wanting her to beg him in a low voice.
In fact, he thought about doing something even worse, a hundred times worse than what he told her, to embarrass her and retaliate against her to torture her. But just imagining in his mind how her strong temper would react if he really did it, Xie Yu was so sad that he died.
No matter in the past or now, Su Yining is his moon in the sky and snow in front of the window, bright and bright. He couldn't bear the blasphemy.
Xie Yu stood at the window, watching the figure wearing a snow-colored turban disappear completely at the corner of the long street. The hand holding the approval document trembled slightly and murmured to himself: "It's like this again, even coaxing me once." Don’t you want to even do that?”
They have known each other for many years, and when they were most familiar with each other, they saw each other almost every day. She knew everything about him, and she clearly knew that he was an easy person to coax. But she broke off the engagement cleanly back then, and now they are reunited. Xie Yu has been looking for opportunities to see her several times, but she has never bowed her head for him, even if she is lying to him.
It seems that he really has no heart.
He withdrew his gaze and walked out of the private room with a bloodless face.
It took a lot of effort to get the approval document, but he casually threw it on the ground.
*
After Xie Yu failed to get the approval, Su Yining had to give up the idea of setting up a female household for the time being.
She thought about looking at the yard and shops first, buying a yard suitable for her to move out with her grandmother in the future, and then buying a few shops to start a small business.
When everything was ready, she would go to Xie Yu again. Maybe he would be willing to let go next time?
After her busy work, another ten days passed.
April 15th is the day set by the previous dynasty for the release of the results in the spring. On this day, except for Mrs. Su, who suddenly had a headache, and the second wife, who had a cold, everyone in the Su family went out together again and went to the place where the results were released with great fanfare.
Zheng was the most active. Firstly, she wanted to go early to see if Su Dian was on the list. Secondly, she wanted to take the opportunity to see if there were any suitable moves to help Su Yiru.
Originally, she was thinking of interceding with the old lady again and arranging for Yang Jia Erlang to meet Su Yiru once, but then something happened about Dongzhu, and the old lady got angry at her and even refused to let her in at the courtyard gate. Entered.
This matter can only be put aside for the time being, but Su Yiru's age cannot wait any longer. If there is no hope of getting married, it would be good to find a good scholar.
Su Yining's carriage was at the back, while the carriages of Zheng's mother and son were at the front. By the time Su Yining arrived, a crowd of people had already gathered under the banner.
She was helped out of the carriage by Wenxiu, and then they stood on the edge of the crowd with her, trying to look towards the list on tiptoe, just to take a look at the excitement.
As she was watching, a familiar voice sounded from beside her.
"Second sister is also here to see the list? Who are you looking at?" Yang Shen stood on the left side of Su Yining and saluted her.
The second man of the Yang family also participated in this spring wedding. He was named on the list as a first-class flower hunter. Just now, Su Yining saw his name on the top. At this moment, the man appeared in front of her. She suddenly felt that it was a coincidence and looked at him. With a bright smile, he returned the greeting and said congratulations: "Congratulations, second brother, for being on the list."
Su Yining was forcibly brought here today by Zheng's mother and son. Therefore, she did not dress up deliberately. She only wore a light pink skirt and a plain plum blossom hairpin on her head.
She is good-looking and has extremely white skin. Even if she is not wearing any makeup, she is still bright and charming when she stands there, not to mention that she is smiling brightly at Yang Shen at this moment.
Yang Shen's heart felt like a calm lake suddenly rippled when someone dropped a pebble. He was overjoyed and said, "Second sister, are you here to see if I have won the lottery?"
Su Yining was distracted. She seemed to have seen a familiar figure in the crowd just now, but she couldn't find it soon. When she came to her senses, she didn't hear Yang Shen's words clearly and could only smile at him again.
That flash of brilliance stung Xie Yu, who was sitting in the carriage and looking over at the curtains.
With a dark face, he closed the curtain again.
"Second brother, what are you doing?" Xie Anning, the third girl from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, frowned, "You're blocking me from looking at the list. I want to see if Brother Yang is on the list."
Xie Yu's face was gloomy and his tone was unkind: "No, that idiot can be on the list, but my name is written backwards."
Xie Anning glanced at him and said dejectedly: "Ah, I missed again, then my cousin is going to hit him again. This is the third time, why is he so stupid!"
"I heard that the Yang family's cousin's family has been transferred back to Beijing, and they also participated in the Spring Festival this time. If they are successful there, I'm afraid my cousin's plan will be interrupted."
Xie Yu didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but lift the car curtains and looked towards the two figures, one pink and one green.
Even the clothes are well-dressed.
On purpose?
He even came here specifically to look at the list for him.
