Chapter 75

Pei Yuqing didn't say anything, but just hugged her arms tightly.

The wedding schedule is tight and the wedding is about to take place. What's the point of him always coming to visit?

"Not coming?" Xie Wanning raised her eyebrows slightly: "Are you afraid that my brother will chase you out?"

That day, Xie Yanyu returned home after work. After learning that his sister's engagement was with his good friend, he left the city overnight and went to the farm.

With a gloomy face and a very unpleasant expression, Xie Wan Ning didn't dare to provoke him at all. She pushed Pei Yuqing out directly, and kept saying that this man seduced her.

She was just a young girl who was naive but was seduced by a man much older than her.

What else could Xie Yanyu say? He turned around and went next door to find the man who seduced his little sister.

The two men were more patient than the other. Xie Wan Ning didn't know what they talked about. She didn't dare to ask her brother, and Pei Yuqing refused to say more.

When asked urgently, he looked at her gently, said "gentleman's agreement", and refused to say anything more.

Even though he was teased by the little girl, he remained calm and said, "I'm not afraid of this."

That serious look makes people laugh.

Xie Wan Ning reached out and touched his face, saying, "Even if you don't have a face like this, your personality alone is still very attractive."

Pei Yuqing smiled when he heard it, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and asked: "How rare is it?"

He smiled gently, his eyes were soft and bright, and Xie Wan Ning's heart felt itchy, as if it was gently scratched by a delicate brush. She raised her head and moved her face closer to his as if she was touching his face.

She kissed his chin again.

This time Pei Yuqing didn't let her go so easily.

The moment she retreated, the man's large hand rested on the back of her neck and squeezed it gently. Xie Wan Ning felt a black screen before her eyes, and then a warm touch came on her lips.

She blinked subconsciously, then quickly reacted. She held his face with both hands and pushed him away, saying urgently, "No!"

The kiss fell in vain. Pei Yuqing opened her eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "You kissed me first."

The eyes that used to be bright and warm were now tinged with an unspeakable dark color.

Xie Wan Ning was angry: "I only kissed your face, not like this."

She pointed to her lips and complained, "If you kiss them, they will swell. Last time, they were swollen, and I forgot to tell you."

When he woke up that day, his lips were swollen. Who knows how much force he used? Fortunately, his parents didn't find out when he returned to Beijing, otherwise...

Now they are about to arrive in Beijing, and if they kiss him again and his lips get swollen, it may not be possible to hide it.

She was still in his arms, the two of them were very close, the little girl looked up with complaints in her eyes, but Pei Yuqing's gaze was fixed on her lips.

The lips that had just been kissed were bright red and juicy.

Pei Yuqing stared at it for a while and said in a hoarse voice, "You are right to remind me. Fortunately, it is not swollen yet."

...It's a little redder.

Xie Wan Ning felt relieved, pointed to her face and said, "If you want to kiss me, kiss here."

The carriage was somewhat quiet, and their breathing was clearly audible. Pei Yuqing pinched the back of her neck, lowered his head and kissed her nose softly. He let go of the girl in his arms and sighed softly.

"I'll come see you."

He finally followed his own heart.

After all, how could he bear not seeing this girl for ten days?

…………

After returning home, Xie Wan Ning started to get busy, and followed her mother to learn every day. She started learning housekeeping from her mother when she was ten years old. No matter how complicated the account books were, she could understand them and would never be deceived by the servants.

Xie Wan Ning was familiar with the dowry list when she was preparing to marry Lu Ziyan. However, after the broken engagement and remarriage, Xie Shu and Zheng felt sorry for their daughter's troubled marriage, so they increased the dowry by two more layers.

The servants who came with the dowry, as well as important gold and silver utensils, fields and shops, and calligraphy and painting ornaments, all had to be checked and familiarized one by one to avoid being left in the dark after getting married and not knowing what was in her dowry.

When people are busy, they have no time to care about the romance between men and women under the moonlight. These days, Xie Wan Ning didn't think of Pei Yuqing at all. She went to Jinxiu Hall as soon as she got up every day, and fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow after coming back.

Pei Yuqing came twice. Whenever he came, Zheng gave her daughter half a day off and let her take her fiancé to wander around the house.

As soon as he left the presence of his elders, Xie Wan Ning led his men straight back to his own Jianxia Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the door, she revealed her true nature. She turned around, held the man's hand, and teased with a smile: "Why do you come so often? It really feels like a long time since we last met."

Pei Yuqing was speechless.

Xie Wan Ning's smile became more intense, and she was about to say a few more words, when she suddenly caught sight of the maid standing stiffly outside the door.

It was obvious that she had tried her best to suppress her inner anxiety, but it still showed a little.

Seeing her master looking at her, Erxia's eyes turned red and tears rolled down, just like she had been given an injection of cardiotonic.

Xie Wanning frowned, let go of the man's hand, sat down, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Erxia walked into the room quickly with red eyes, not caring about her future son-in-law, and knelt on the ground with a thump of her knees, and began to cry: "Young lady, don't you want a maid?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Wan Ning knew what was going on. She lowered her eyes and looked at her personal maid who was crying and begging, and did not speak for a while.

Sensing her master's indifference, Erxia knelt down two steps, hugged her legs, and cried sincerely: "These days, I have been worried and uneasy every day. I really don't know what has angered you. You know that I have been serving you since I was a child. I always put you first. I am loyal to you. God can bear witness to it!"

Originally a personal maid who was extremely trusted by her master and an absolute confidant, Ke Erxia was inexplicably treated coldly.

During the time when Xie Wan Ning experienced the broken engagement and was talking about marriage again, Er Xia, the senior maid, received news faster than the second-class maids in the courtyard. Although Xie Wan Ning did not reduce her salary, he marginalized her.

He didn't need her to serve him personally, he didn't ask for her opinion when something happened, and he never told her about his troubles.

Erxia was in a constant state of panic. As the wedding date drew closer, she became more and more worried that her position as confidant would be abolished, and she tried several times to find her master to appeal.

But Xie Wan Ning didn't bring her with her when she went to the farm, and after she came back she was so busy every day that she had no time to care about the maid's mood.

Until this morning, the housekeeper of the main courtyard came with the list of dowry servants selected by the mistress for the girl to announce. Erxia listened from beginning to end, but did not hear her name.

No matter how respected a maid is, being abandoned by her master is like the end of the world.

Clearly, when discussing marriage with Marquis Wuyuan's family last time, Erxia's name was listed alongside Erqing, and she was one of the two major maids that would be included in the dowry. But now, her name could not be found.
