Chapter 271 Shouldn't I cheat her out of her money?
Why did you call me here? "
As soon as Xie Yunshan entered the front hall, he looked around and muttered, "The young master is playing chess with the old fox..."
I don’t know what’s wrong with Hu Yan’s brain. He has never beaten that old fox in chess!
Mad!
Steward Sun stepped forward and said, "Xie Xiao General, your sister is here, and the master wants you two to get together."
"what?"
Xie Yunshan looked at the person standing in the hall in front of him. Wasn't that his adopted half-sister?
He frowned slightly, "What are you doing here?"
Xie Chaoyan lowered her head and looked docile, but she was still hurt in her heart by the words of exclusion.
It was as if she was a homeless person who had shamelessly trespassed into someone else's territory and was ruthlessly expelled.
"Didn't I find a doctor for you and check your pulse?"
She looked up in surprise, a little dazed.
Xie Yunshan looked at her, his tone was not good, but it was consistent with his character, "Why are you stupid? What did the doctor say?"
Xie Chaoyan answered haltingly, "The doctor said it was due to excessive worry and a cold... I'm not used to the local climate. I've already written a prescription for you."
General Xie held out his hand, "Did you bring the prescription?"
Xie Chaoyan: "I brought it with me. I was planning to buy some medicine on the way back and boil it at home."
After saying that, she obediently handed the prescription to Xie Yunshan.
"Don't worry about the herbs. I'll buy them and send them to the post station for you when the time comes."
Xie Yunshan called for people to follow him and walked towards his own yard.
On the way, he said bluntly: "When the people in the north see that you are coming from Kyoto, they may not necessarily sell the herbs to you..."
"If you have any problem, you can send someone to find me..."
"The palace... just don't come here often."
Xie Chaoyan lagged behind his brother by half a step, his eyes fixed on his broad shoulders, wondering what he was thinking.
"Don't you dislike Chao Yan, brother?"
It was still like that in front of the city gate...
Xie Yunshan stopped and scratched his head. "We have only met twice. There is no reason to like or dislike each other."
At that time, it was just a choice between who was closer and who was closer.
"I know you didn't come to the North on purpose. You are unfamiliar with the place, and the only things I can help you with are some minor matters..."
Of course, he's not that smart either.
This point was made after Hu Yan mentioned it~
General Xie thought that he was not worthy of being called the elder brother to Xie Chaoyan, so he naturally had no right to persuade or instruct him. He simply said, "You need to think carefully about what you can and cannot do in the North."
For example, she shouldn't have come to the Zhenguo Palace today...
She shouldn’t be thinking about Jiang Jichen.
He will never be her lifeline.
Xie Yunshan's words were like cutting open her body, revealing the dirtiest and most embarrassing side inside, making Xie Chaoyan feel extremely embarrassed.
Or perhaps it was the resentment and powerlessness that had been accumulating since the moment he was stuffed into the carriage in Kyoto that surged into his heart at this moment.
Looking at Feng Qingjiyue's brother, her fingertips were trembling...
"Brother, are you reminding Chao Yan not to have any thoughts that you shouldn't have?"
She looked up, her scarlet eyes hiding more than a decade of grievances, "Or does my brother think that I should be left with nowhere to go and be laughed at by everyone when I return to Kyoto!"
"Brother is the second son of the Xie family. Even if he is not in Kyoto, he can still live a prosperous life in this barren northern land."
"You have a father and a mother to look after you, but I don't!"
"You have brothers and relatives, but I don't!"
She glared at Xie Yunshan fiercely, and said word by word, "Who are you to lecture me?"
As I turned around, the tears I had been holding back finally burst out.
Xie Chaoyan is a person who can show true feelings for himself; he can also be so stubborn that he will never shed a tear for himself...
She knew in her heart that Xie Yunshan was doing this for her own good.
How could the King of Side by Side, who commands a large army, be blinded by lust?
But the situation is like this now, what can she do as a pawn?
Even if it was a pit of fire, she would still jump in and gamble on that glimmer of hope...
Hu Yan, who was watching this scene from the corridor, sighed, "There is no choice, all for the sake of survival."
The little girl standing nearby glanced at the box of banknotes in her arms and tugged at the hem of her father's clothes.
She looked at her father eagerly, "Shouldn't An An cheat her out of her money..."
She seems miserable...
Jiang Jichen gently stroked his daughter's head and picked her up.
He looked at Xie Yunshan who was standing not far away, and taught his daughter, "This silver is not Xie Chaoyan's private property, but was given to her by the Queen Mother and the Xie family..."
"Let her be used to build relationships in the North and get closer to the King."
"So, An did nothing wrong."
Xie Chaoyan's life was very miserable. She had no control over her own life and was not allowed to marry freely. With one order from others, she had to leave home for thousands of miles to the far north.
But her current situation is no different from what Xie Yunshan experienced back then.
Even worse than Xie Yunshan back then...
When he woke up one day, he found that his parents, who were close and doting on him, no longer wanted him. The past ten years of his life had become a dream!
Back then, he was no less than the world collapsing!
In the snow, Jiang Jichen's voice was still clear, "An, do you know what will happen to the people of the three states in the north if taxes are increased and men are conscripted?"
Facing his daughter's beautiful eyes, he said seriously, "The people will suffer."
Compared with the people in the north who suffered countless casualties and even cannibalism at that time, was Xie Chaoyan, who was raised in a large mansion, more miserable?
She has servants, and she never touches women. Although the clothes she wears are not the best, they are made of materials that ordinary people would not even dare to think about...
She was not living a good life, but she couldn't hurt irrelevant people because of it.
The little girl nodded, "An An understands..."
"She is miserable and pitiful, but she can't yell at Xie Yunshan just because she is miserable."
"You can't become An An's stepmother just because she's miserable!"
Hu Yan gathered his cloak and said, "Oh, that rhymes quite well."
Jiang An stayed in her father's arms and said arrogantly: "I can't help it, I'm just smart~"
Xie Yunshan listened to the murmur of voices behind him and turned his head faintly, "You're teasing me in front of me?"
The little girl was not justified but still confident, "Ah~"
General Xie approached with his hands on his hips, looking so sad, which was rare.
Jiang Jichen glanced at him, then walked in front with his daughter in his arms, "Let's go, let's go eat."
I don't know who this is addressed to.
Xie Yunshan, who was following behind, didn't say a word until he reached the corner, then he suddenly stopped.
Hu Yan turned his head, looking puzzled, "Why are you..."
Xie Yunshan: "No, she said what the young master was doing!"
"My Lord, you have good intentions!"
"It's not me who asked her to come to the North!"
The old fox's mouth twitched, and he shook his head helplessly, "Let's go, my lord, don't worry about him."
Jiang Jichen agreed, "Yeah."
General Xie jumped up and down for a while before realizing that there was no one around...
He was stunned and asked, "Where are the people?"
Yun Yi yawned and blinked his tearful eyes, "Let's go."
"I guess it's time for dinner in the front hall..."
Xie Yunshan:!
"Why don't you invite me to dinner?"
Looking at the young master flying away, Yun Yi followed him while muttering, "It's not that he didn't call, it's that you didn't hear him at all."
