Chapter 63 Xie Family Rules

"I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in time." Xie Yinlan's eyes gradually became lonely as the rabbit lanterns floated into the lotus bushes: "The Mid-Autumn Festival happens every year, we can meet again next year."

Yaoxing clutched the other rabbit lantern in her hand: "Is this also what Grandma agrees to?"

"Yes." Xie Yinlan said softly again: "My great-grandmother supports your career and asks you to concentrate on filming and make time next year."

"But I can spend more than ten minutes with my family without delaying my flight. I can go to the airport at [-]:[-] and make it in time."

If she can't make it in time, she can change to the next flight, and at most go back and give Qi Chenxun a meal.

"I've asked He Lin to come over and take you to the airport." Xie Yinlan seemed to be driving her away. He picked up an exquisite lunch box placed next to the bluestone and handed it to her: "This is a snack prepared by grandma for you. Wait. If you’re hungry, eat in the car.”

Yao Xing felt inexplicably sour in her heart. She slowly reached out to take the lunch box and said softly, "Oh."

After all, he had already talked about this, so she didn't have to insist on staying.

But she couldn't understand why he didn't even give her ten minutes?Did he feel that this was disrespectful to his family, or was he angry?
"Then I," Yao Xing clenched the lunch box tightly: "I'm going to tell my grandma."

After saying that, she ran away quickly, and the rabbit lantern that had not been put into the lotus pond fell at Xie Yinlan's feet.

Xie Yinlan picked it up and walked towards Fuyue Pavilion alone.

...

Grandma is still dressing up in Luoyanting.

Yaoxing hurried in and said, "Grandma."

Her voice choked up.

"What's wrong, dear baby?" As soon as my grandma heard her forbearing cry, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "Who bullied you? Tell your grandma."

"No one bullies me." Yao Xing held back tears in her eyes: "I just feel like brother Yinlan wants to drive me away."

"Silly boy, what stupid words did you say? How could A-Lan be willing to drive you away?" Grandma took her hand and asked her to sit on the soft couch.

Yan Xing picked the lid of the lunch box with her fingers: "But he didn't even let me stay for the reunion dinner. He let me eat it alone in the car."

Yaoxing really felt aggrieved the more she thought about it.

"I know I may have done something wrong this time, and I shouldn't have only taken one day off. But since I'm back, I have to get together with my family before going back. But he didn't even give him ten minutes. I."

"Stupid child, it's not what you think. It's not that A Lan refuses to let you stay for the reunion dinner, but the Xie family's family rules, which have been iron laws for thousands of years, and no one can disobey them."

Yaoxing was slightly confused: "??"

"Alas." Grandma sighed earnestly: "You may still not know something."

"I don't know what?" Yaoxing was even more confused.

The grandma explained to her: "Alan told me not to tell you. But look at how wronged you are, the grandma really feels bad after seeing it."

After that, she called Mrs. Li to get a copy of Xie's family rules, and continued to tell Yaoxing: "My great-grandmother hasn't asked you to memorize the family rules yet. Turn to page nine and see what is written in No. 17 of the family rules. "

Xie's Family Rules is a thick book, and it feels heavy in the hand.

She followed the instructions and turned to page nine and found No. 17 ancestral injunction.

The content is about the commandment of "the descendants of the Xie family extend their longevity", and describes some lessons learned from the ancestors of the Xie family, using this as a warning for the descendants of the Xie family to remember.

Yaoxing recited one of the passages silently seriously: "Once you sit down at the longevity table, you are not allowed to leave the table without permission before the banquet is over. Anyone who leaves the table without permission will die."

After reading the last word, Yaoxing's eyes suddenly turned red.

The great-grandmother touched her head kindly: "Silly boy, do you know now why A-Lan doesn't let you stay? Although the Xie family's ancestral precepts are somewhat untrustworthy, A-Lan also hopes that you will be safe. Don't make any mistakes. After all, your brother-in-law... almost didn't come back."

As the great-grandmother finished speaking, the tears in Yao Xing's eyes fell onto the family rules book with a loud bang, soaking the yellowed lines of vicissitudes of writing.
