swear not to be concubine

Chapter 55

Jian Yan was restless sitting on the wooden Kang facing the window in Xu Miaojin's study, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt.

Because she seemed to think that Xu Zhongxuan liked her.

When Yunxiang came over to send a message to ask her to go to Songhe Hall to confront Xueliu, Xu Zhongxuan immediately held her back and refused to let her go, and then said that he would settle the matter, and told her not to be afraid, just stay at ease. Here it is.It would be fine if he just said these words, and she can still think that Xu Zhongxuan is grateful for her making a cover for her, and just come forward to help her resist this matter.But then he looked at her with such lingering eyes, and said to her in such a soft voice, don't leave, wait until I come back to have lunch with you...

Jian Yan stretched out her hand to support her forehead weakly, thinking in her heart, the content of that sentence, as well as Xu Zhongxuan's tone and eyes when he said that sentence, shouldn't it be the intimacy only between lovers or husband and wife?

She thought she must be crazy, otherwise why did she feel that Xu Zhongxuan was so nervous about her, and wanted to protect her so tightly, afraid that she would be hurt a little bit?
But thoughts, once scattered, are like wild horses that have run wild, and they cannot be pulled back no matter what.So Jian Yan immediately thought of the time when she was admiring the flowers in Taoyuan. She offended Li Nianlan. The meeting with Li Nianlan caused her to humiliate her.At that time, he seemed to have said something to her, he will take care of it and let her not worry?But at that time, although she was grateful to him in her heart, she only thought that he had a good relationship with Xu Miaojin, so he couldn't bear to see her being humiliated by Li Nianlan.It's just that when I think about it now, why do I feel that he is also trying to protect her, and doesn't want her to be hurt a little bit?And the last time when she was alone with Xu Zhongxuan in Xu Miaoning's Xikuan courtyard, she always thought it was nothing, but now thinking about it, why did she feel that there were so many tricks?And I was still stupid enough to offer to help Xu Zhongxuan make a fan cover, and I sent it here today, Xu Zhongxuan would not think that she actually likes him...

Jian Yan didn't hold her forehead anymore, she covered her face with her hands instead.

How the hell is she so stupid?Or is she just feeling too good about herself?

Yes, yes, Jian Yanfu comforted herself again, how could Xu Zhongxuan like her?He is a young talent of 24K pure gold, and there are many girls around him lining up to marry him. All of them have outstanding family background and appearance. Would he like her bean sprouts?Damn, she won't be 14 years old in two or three months, okay? The little steamed bun on her chest has just developed, it hasn't bulged yet, and it doesn't feel soft at all, okay? He likes her a ball.

So it must be her illusion.

However, she still thinks that Xu Zhongxuan likes her, what should I do?
Jian Yan covered her face with her hands, and buried her head deeply.

Xu Miaoning, who was sitting opposite and playing Jiulianhuan, raised her head inadvertently, only to be startled by her appearance, quickly put down the Jiulianhuan in her hand, and asked: "Sister Yan, what's wrong with you? But Is there any discomfort?"

The nine chains made of jade are only half untied, and the rest are all intertwined in disorder.

Jian Yan felt that her current mood was even more chaotic than that of Jiu Lianhuan.She felt that she had to go back quickly and smooth out her thoughts slowly, otherwise she would explode sooner or later.

So she said to Xu Miaojin: "I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back first."

Xu Miaojin heard the words, and hurriedly said: "But the eldest brother just said that you should wait for him to come back to eat together. And you see, Qi Sang and Qi Hui have already bought the food."

Fuck him and wait for him to come back for dinner!Just now Xu Zhongxuan said so, but she didn't agree.And now that she is in such a disturbed mood, how can she sit and eat with him as if nothing happened?She can't even eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

So Jian Yan insisted on leaving, and in the end, regardless of Xu Miaojin's strong persuasion, she took Bai Wei and lifted the curtain and went out by herself.

It's just that he had just walked down the bluestone steps and saw a figure turning around the courtyard gate.

He is straight in blue-colored hang silk, with indigo borders on the neckline and cuffs, and an indigo forging belt around his waist. On the end is a beautiful figure, like a jade tree facing the wind.

As if struck by lightning, Jian Yan froze in place, staring at him slowly approaching.

As soon as Xu Zhongxuan walked into the gate of Ningcuixuan, he saw Jian Yan.

Seeing that she had a restless expression on her face and hurried steps, she opened her eyes wide when she saw him, and stood there with a shocked expression on her face, as if she had done something wrong and was caught on the spot.

And Jian Yan does have a feeling that the parent told the child not to watch TV before leaving the house, and the child promised well, and then finally waited until the parent left, the child turned on the TV, and then the parent suddenly pushed the door back and was caught.

Hmm, a little short of breath.

So Jian Yan smiled dryly, and said to Xu Zhongxuan who had already stood two steps away in front of her: "Are you back?"

Xu Zhongxuan's stature is quite tall, so this directly caused her not to be able to look up to him when talking to him, so she had to look up.

Even more guilty and short of breath.Jian Yan burst into tears silently.

But Xu Zhongxuan looked down at her, saw the smile on her face, squinted slightly, and then asked slowly: "Do you want to go back?"

Jian Yan, who was caught in the act, lowered her head guiltyly, and replied nah: "No, no."

"Then what are you going to do with your maid?"

Although Xu Zhongxuan's tone was gentle, the content of this sentence was still a question.Jian Yan was originally guilty and short-spirited, but now that he was questioning him like this again, her brain twitched for a moment, and she blurted out: "I, I'll come out to see if you're back."

... Then she wanted to slap herself to death.This sentence is too ambiguous, and it is easy to make people think.So she hurriedly added, trying to cover it up: "I'm just anxious to know if the matter with Xueliu's maid has been resolved? She, she won't still say that I punished her, right?"

The trees are full of sunshine pouring down, the sound of the wind is gentle, the sound of birds is broken, and the heart is in full bloom in an instant.

Xu Zhongxuan automatically ignored the latter sentence that Jian Yan added superfluously, and laughed as if he only heard the previous sentence, and then he was in a good mood.

His eyebrows and eyes are naturally good, like a person in a painting.This will be full of smiles between the brows and eyes, and it is even more eye-catching.

Jian Yan only felt that her heart skipped a beat, then she turned her head away quickly, looking at the green bamboos and rocks in the yard erratically.

Monster.It's just trouble, can you stop smiling at her like this?In fact, she is also a color control.In her previous life, when she saw the handsome man in the play, her eyes were shining, and she howled like a wolf, wishing she could rush over and lick the screen.

Xu Zhongxuan had already walked past her at this time, only took two steps, seeing that Jian Yan was still standing there with her lips tightly pursed, looking too fuzzy, not knowing what was going on in her mind, so he laughed Said: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Go into the house and eat."

Jian Yan: "...Oh."

Jian Yan was completely out of shape after eating the meal, and even lowered her head all the time, only looking at the food on the table, her eyes wandering, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at someone at all.

After the meal, Xu Zhongxuan invited her to continue the unfinished chess game, but she refused.

In the past, even if she refused, she would have refused very tactfully, but now she refused directly and neatly.

Forgive her for not being in the mood to think of any convoluted excuses at all right now.She just, really wanted to go back immediately, sort out all these things, and adjust her emotions.

And then she couldn't sit still for a while, and she did say goodbye.Xu Zhongxuan didn't keep her anymore, but just like last time, he took three boxes of snacks and handed them to her, saying that she would take them back to eat in her free time.Jian Yan originally wanted to decline, but Xu Zhongxuan had already asked Qingzhu to stuff the snacks into Bai Wei's hands, so Jian Yan had no choice but to accept it, and then took Bai Wei and fled out of Ning Cui Xuan's house. courtyard gate.

Standing on the bluestone platform, Xu Zhongxuan watched her figure disappear at the gate of the courtyard, and then opened the green soft silk curtain and entered the inner room.

Xu Miaojin was sitting in a chair drinking tea.Hearing the movement, she raised her head and looked over. Seeing the smile on Xu Zhongxuan's eyes, she put down the teacup in her hand and asked, "Brother, are you in a good mood?"

She noticed it just now.Ever since Xu Zhongxuan came back from Songhe Hall, he had always had a faint smile on his face.

Xu Zhongxuan nodded to her in a rather good mood, and openly admitted the fact that he was really in a good mood.

The Jian Yan just now was finally no longer the same polite and alienated in front of him.At least when she didn't want to play chess with him, she directly refused him, not as usual, she obviously didn't want to do something, but due to various reasons, she either compromised or refused in the end.

It is definitely a good sign to be able to refuse directly without worrying about whether he will be unhappy because of this matter.

He will slowly, gradually, let Jian Yan reveal her originally hidden temperament in front of him.No matter how arrogant and coquettish she is, he is happy to see her.

Driven by curiosity, Xu Miaojin finally couldn't help asking: "Brother, why are you in such a good mood?"

Xu Zhongxuan smiled but didn't answer, just sat on the chair beside him, reached out his hand to hold the teacup and bowed his head to drink tea.

Xu Miaojin knew that what Xu Zhongxuan didn't want to say, no matter how others asked, he would never be able to pry half a word out of his mouth.So she didn't bother with this question any more, instead she asked: "Cousin Xuan is really going back?"

Before eating just now, Xu Zhongxuan had already told Jian Yan and Xu Miaojin what happened in Songhe Hall.However, he concealed the fact that he used the two Dali Temple punishments to intimidate Xueliu, worrying that Jian Yan and Xu Miaojin would be afraid if they heard about it.So the two of them already knew that Wu Jingxuan was leaving Xu's house.

Hearing Xu Miaojin's question, Xu Zhongxuan nodded: "Yes. Later I will ask Qi Sang to tell the old lady to let Wu Jingxuan leave early tomorrow morning."

He is taking a rest today, and will rush back to Beijing early tomorrow morning.And before returning to Beijing, he must know that Wu Jingxuan has left the Xu family.

This time, she dared to tarnish Jian Yan's reputation so much, and she didn't know what else she would do next time.He won't be here from tomorrow on, so it's better to send Wu Jingxuan away as soon as possible.

Xu Miaojin smiled and said, "Brother, are you so nervous about Yanjie? But according to my cold eyes these days, Yanjie is actually not such an easy person to bully."

Xu Miaojin is as careful as a hair, and she is not easy to be bullied.Otherwise, when Xu Zhongxuan was not in the Xu family for so many years, she stayed here alone, and there were not many people in the whole Xu family who really treated her well, wouldn't she be bullied to death?But until now, she is still staying in Ning Cui Xuan well.If you want to go to the family banquet, you can go, and if you don't want to, you don't go. No one dares to wink at her casually, so she can see that Jian Yan is not easy.

In fact, Xu Zhongxuan naturally knew this too.

After hearing what Rue Xiang said, he immediately knew that Wu Jingxuan's fabricated words had been tampered with.

No matter how stupid Wu Jingxuan was, she wouldn't be so stupid as to add a few words like her favorite fan into it to tarnish her own reputation.

Obviously, at first she wanted to use these words to discredit Jian Yan's reputation, but when the maids in her yard were spreading these words around, someone found out that she cleverly added the fan Go in one section, confuse the audience, and then let the maids go around to spread such words.So in the end, some people insisted that there was a fan in these words, and some people insisted that there was no fan in these words. Wu Jingxuan was hit unexpectedly, and Wu was forced to investigate the source of these words. Otherwise, Wu Jingxuan's reputation will only be damaged more seriously than Jian Yan.

And the person who added the fan section to those words may be a person who has a grudge against Wu Jingxuan on a daily basis. He took this opportunity to punish her, and there is another possibility, that is, that The person is Jian Yan at all.

If the words with the fan were added, Wu Jingxuan would definitely lose her footing in the end.So the outcome of this matter is either Wu Jingxuan came out to clarify that those words were just rumors, or Wu and the others found out that Wu Jingxuan was the instigator of these words, and then it will naturally prove that these words are just rumors , so that Jian Yan will be unharmed and her reputation will not be damaged in the slightest.Otherwise, if it was just what she said earlier, after two days, Jian Yan would have to be forced to either seek death, or to submit to Xu Zhongze as a concubine.

Xu Zhongxuan put down the teacup in his hand, and ordered Qing Zhu: "Call Qi Sang in."

Qing Zhu agreed, turned around and left.After a while, Qi Sang who had been waiting outside the courtyard came in with his hands down, and asked, "What are your orders, Master?"

"Go and check on the two maids, Xiaoyu and Lianhua. Also, go and check on the third young master to see what he has done recently."

Qi Sang agreed to go.Xu Zhongxuan was pondering in his heart, these days when he was not in Xu's house, how many times did Xu Zhongze pester Jian Yan?
