685: Duplicity (Part 1) [Two-in-one](1/2)

"Husband, madam..."

Wei Shou looked at it reluctantly and refused to move.

Xinji just looked at Wei Shou quietly, with a cold expression.

"Then please wait outside the hospital. Madam, if you need anything, call out and come immediately..." Wei Shou turned back three times at a time to see Xin Ji reluctant to leave, and Chu Yao to drink in vain. No matter how much he lingered, this would happen.

The road still has an end.

The woman serving Xinji closed the door ruthlessly.

Wei Shou put his hands on his hips and paced back and forth in front of the door. The more he thought about him, the more uneasy he became. Finally, taking advantage of his height, he mounted the horse, raised his head and stretched his neck slightly, and could barely see the movement in the courtyard over the courtyard wall.

Chu Yao acted openly and reminisced with Xin Ji without closing the doors and windows, but he set up a voice to prevent eavesdropping. Wei Shou could only see what the two said.

I can't see but can't hear, and I feel very itchy.

them……

What exactly is said?

It's nothing, just reminiscing about old times.

Seeing that Chu Yao's head was gray and his face was as young as ever, Xin Ji's long and white fingers trembled slightly, and after a long time she asked softly: "I haven't seen you for many years, how have you been doing, brother Yu, these years?"

Chu Yao said: "Very good."

But Xin Ji shook her head: "You always report good things but not bad things. When I saw you, I felt that you had suffered a lot. If you can't see Yuanyuan's rough character, how could I not see it? But since you don't

If you're willing to tell me, I won't ask any more questions."

She had seen him at his most energetic.

Based on her understanding of Chu Yao, combined with the news that Wei Shou had learned in the early years, if not for many changes, he would not have been tempered to become what he is today. But Chu Yao refused to mention it, and she could not expose his scars. Xin Ji asked the maid

Serve refreshments to Chu Yao.

Asked: "Brother Yu, has he started a family?"

Chu Yao almost spilled the tea.

He said unnaturally: "Not yet..."

Xinji was surprised: "Brother Yu is still unmarried at this age, is it because he doesn't have the right one, or is it because of someone else?"

Chu Yao coughed twice to stabilize his mood.

"The great cause has not been accomplished, and there is no care for the family."

Xinji was slightly annoyed and said: "I heard the excuse you mentioned from my unsatisfied son a while ago. It's exactly the same, every word is correct. Yu Geerhu is not sincere in teasing people..."

Chu Yao's expression was almost tense: "Sister..."

The voice was vaguely pleading.

They haven't seen each other for many years, and they urged her to get married when they first met, which was somewhat unfriendly. He was already his age, so he was left to fend for himself.

When Xin Ji heard the address, the smile on her face grew stronger.

"Brother Yu, are you still shy about this?"

Yes, in terms of relationship, Xin Ji is Chu Yao’s sister.

To be precise, it should be my cousin.

Xinji's mother and Chu Yao's mother were cousins, and they later married men from the same village. However, the two sisters were not very lucky. Xinji's father was a gambler, and Chu Yao's father was lazy. The two sisters supported each other.

for a while.

Give birth to children and take care of the housework.

Serve the few acres of Susukaku farmland as if they were ancestors.

Chu Yao was not the eldest son in the family, but Xinji was the eldest daughter, seven years older than him. When Chu Yao was still an infant, Xinji put him in a basket on his back and followed his mother and aunt to help with farm work until Chu Yao was two years old.

, walking steadily.

These things were told to him by Chu Yao's mother.

There is no such cousin in his memory.

When Xinji was nine years old, her appearance was already good. Her father lost all his family property and was cheated and owed a lot of debt, so he had to use his wife and daughter as mortgage. Her mother refused and committed suicide by hanging herself from the beam, but Xinji could not escape.

She fled to Chu Yao's house but was captured.

The gambling shop sold her to a dental shop at a high price.

At this time, a high-ranking official spread rumors that he wanted to raise a group of geishas. Seeing that Xin Ji's "good looks" were good, Ya Xing stuffed her into that batch. Fortunately among misfortunes, Xin Ji was selected. That high-ranking official was very kind.

She is elegant and loves to show off. When she sees that Xinji has talent, she will spend a lot of money to train her. Whenever there are distinguished guests in the house, Xinji must come out. Whenever the guests show surprise in their eyes and are impressed by her appearance and talent, and want to spend a lot of money to buy her, the high-ranking officials will be proud.

Di waved his hand and refused: [My Xin Ji, a priceless treasure.]

There are also guests who promise the position of concubine.

The senior official did not answer directly, but just asked: "Is there any beautiful jade here? Are you hiding it in a coffin? Are you looking for a good man to sell it?"

simply put--

These guests are not the businessmen that high officials are waiting for.

The senior official looked at Xin Ji with an enigmatic look.

【Wait for the time to move, wait for the dealer to sell.】

She was held up on a high platform and chased by people's eyes.

Xinji was almost blinded by the illusion of prosperity and ease, until she was eighteen years old, when a senior official found Xinji and gave her an important task, sending her to be a concubine to a certain lord and nobleman in the Northern Desert. This nobleman

She has some friendship with high-ranking officials, and even the distinguished guests who have been entertained by high-ranking officials have also taken a liking to Xin Ji.

She was terrified.

As smart as she is, she often attends private banquets with various dignitaries with high-ranking officials, so she naturally knows the virtues of the Northern Desert. The peace faction and the war faction in the Northern Desert are either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. Who is stronger and who is weaker depends on the current needs.

.

Sooner or later, the peace faction will be driven out of power.

By then, what will she do if she is trapped in the Northern Desert?

The senior officials never told her, and she didn't know. She only knew that she had everything, but she didn't have the right to refuse.

The only good thing is that the Northern Desert Honorary liked studying the most, and Xinji was treated favorably and favored. Those two years were quite comfortable. After the Northern Desert Honorary fell, Xinji was re-rewarded as his legacy.

Another man.

Xinji had nothing in common with him, and he hated the literati's behavior the most, and he only treated Xinji as an ordinary concubine. Those two or three years were peaceful, not comfortable, but not punished either. Until a ray of light suddenly broke in.



She seemed to hear her dead heart beating again.

Chu Yao said: "It's not that I'm shy..."

"I just didn't expect that at such a young age, I would be urged to get married."

"Brother Yu has reached the point where he laments his age. Shouldn't it be time for my sister, who is seven years older than you, to consider getting a coffin ready for me? When I was a child, I always looked old-fashioned..." Xin Ji smiled.

She let Chu Yao go, stopped mentioning his marriage, and talked about trivial matters. They only talked for a quarter of an hour. The maids came in to refill the lamp oil. Seeing that Chu Yao either smiled and responded or listened carefully, she said helplessly, "

Brother Yu is really calm, much better than you were back then..."

At that time, I privately advised her to help, but she went straight to the point.

Chu Yao shook his head and said: "It's not that I can't hold my breath this time, I'm just thinking about how to open this conversation with my sister..."

Xinji thought for a moment and understood.

"Who does Brother Yu work for now?"

Chu Yao said: "Shen Tang, Shen Youli."

Xin Ji had no impression of this name. Wei Shou had never mentioned a person with such power, but someone who could make Brother Yu fall in love must have advantages that ordinary people cannot replace. She said firmly: "This Lord Shen

Also joined the Dragon Slaying Bureau?"

Standing opposite her husband Wei Shou.

Chu Yao nodded: "Yes."

"Looking at the mountains from a distance, the scenery remains as new year after year, but the human sentiments from a short-term perspective are gradually different from the past...Brother Yu, things are different now."

You were just trying to help yourself. Now that you have been married to Yuanyuan for more than 20 years and have children with him, why don't I help my husband and instead help you?"

Xinji looked at Chu Yao.

He looked seriously and said: "Brother Yu, Chu Yao!"

The former "Brother Yu" was still warm and affectionate.

The last "Chu Yao" is only Leng Li.

She said: "I just think you are here to catch up with me, and I won't mention this matter to Yuanyuan. There is no need to mention what happened today!"
