Chapter 54 Two Choices
The days of summer are long, and the plantains are early.

In the secluded and profound courtyard of Xie's house, all that meets the eye is the shade of green trees.

In the pool next to the gazebo, the pavilions and pavilions are reflected.As the breeze blows, the crystal-like soft curtains on the side of the gazebo sway gently, and the fragrance of lotus and roses rippling with the wind, filling every corner of the courtyard.

Such a picturesque scenery should make people feel at ease, but Wang Zhiyi's heart is heavy.

At this moment, under Xie Zhan's bottomless gaze and Mrs. Xie's calm gaze, she felt a little bit on pins and needles.

She agreed, but Xie Zhan didn't spare her just because he got the answer.

He said in a cold voice, "Since that's the case, now, because of this painting, my fiancée has misunderstood me, thinking that I have a marriage contract, and is still entangled with other girls. Miss Wang Qi, is there a way to clear up the misunderstanding? "

When Xie Zhan finished speaking, not only Wang Zhiyi's complexion changed, but even Mrs. Xie could no longer remain calm.

Fiancee misunderstood?
The news that he is going to retire has spread all over the streets and alleys of Jiankang City. Now that everyone knows it, how can there be any fiancée?

An extremely ominous premonition came, Mrs. Xie suppressed the desire to do it again with a headache, suppressed her anger, and interjected with a smile on her face: "Liu Lang, now that you want to divorce the engagement, then the marriage is over. Don't take this trivial matter seriously. In the past It's over."

After she finished speaking, she looked expectantly at her precious son, hoping that he could follow the ladder she handed him and go down.

Of course, her son has never been her treasure, but just a debt she owed in her previous life.

He only heard Xie Zhan raise the ending sound "Oh?", and asked with a half-smile: "Where did the mother say this? Isn't the marriage contract of Xie Fu's family bestowed by the Holy One? When will it stop counting?"

Mrs. Xie's smile froze.

She just knew it!She just knew it!
Under the hypocritical surface of this son who is arrogant and self-sufficient, his bones are full, and the rebellious and uninhibited nature he restrained has come out again!
This is not over yet, Xie Zhan added another sentence: "Didn't the elder sister say everything, my fiancée, Shu Se Wu Shuang, is very suitable for me. Her words are good, and I am very satisfied with the stunning appearance of the help girl."

In front of Wang Zhiyi, he praised the beauty of others, saying that he was extremely satisfied, how would he welcome them in from now on?

This is tantamount to breaking the Xie family's desire to marry the Wang family.

The feeling of being out of control struck again. In front of the Wang family girl, Mrs. Xie was afraid that she would not be able to show her face. She was so angry that her throat was full of pain. a bit.

Seeing her like this, Wang Zhiyi turned pale and asked, "Mrs. Xie, are you alright?"

Before Mrs. Xie could answer, Xie Zhan called Mrs. Xie's personal nurse outside the pavilion, "Mother may be suffering from the heat, so hurry up and help her into the house so that she can rest."

**
Mrs. Xie was helped away, leaving only Xie Zhan and Wang Zhiyi in the gazebo.

Wang Zhiyi had been looking forward to this opportunity to be alone with Xie Liulang for so many years, but now, it appeared under such circumstances, and she hoped to pass this opportunity by.

She was apprehensive and only hoped that Xie Zhan would make a quick decision so that she could return home earlier.

But Xie Zhan stood up, turned his back to her, and didn't say a word, the folding fan was not too fast, knocking on the back one after another.

The sound he knocked was extremely soft, but in Wang Zhiyi's ears, the sound was like a bell.Every blow was like a wooden stake striking a bell, hitting the tip of her heart, dull and dull pain.

Wang Zhiyi, who was already a little nervous, gradually became flustered when Xie Zhan knocked her down.

Not far from the pavilion, Shi Qing stood tall and straight, holding a scroll in his hand.Seeing Young Master nodding to him, he immediately understood, strode into the gazebo, spread the scroll in his hand on the table, and then quickly backed away.

Xie Zhan turned to face Wang Zhiyi, the light and shadow shone from behind him, his expression fell in the shadow, and the already alienated face became more cruel at this moment.

In the past, Xie Zhan was the glorious Xie Zhan, but today, he is another Xie Zhan that she doesn't know at all.

He has a stern voice and a domineering aura.

What permeated his whole body was the domineering aura that ordinary nobles from aristocratic families could hardly match.

It was also at this moment that Wang Zhiyi understood why Xie Zhan, who was still a young man among his many brothers, was chosen as the next Patriarch at such a young age.

Wang Zhiyi clenched her hands tightly, like a criminal on the verge of punishment, waiting for the final verdict from the Young Minister of Dali Temple.

Xie Zhan saw that the sweat was dripping from her forehead, so she stopped attacking her heart, and finally said: "Miss Wang Qi, if this painting is according to what you said, my elder sister invited you to paint, not me, then it's all right." As for the product, my private seal should not appear without my knowledge, right?"

Although the words were questions, there was no doubt in his tone.

Wang Zhiyi glanced at the painting on the table in front of her, pursed her lips, met Xie Zhan's straight and cold gaze, and nodded without choice.

Xie Zhan continued: "Then please fetch the original work for me, so that I can explain it to my fiancée. Otherwise, I can only ask you to accompany me on the journey."

Xie Zhan gave her these two options.

But Wang Zhiyi was unwilling to choose.

She is the daughter-in-law of the Ding Ding family, with superior family background, dignified character, and outstanding talent. She has her own pride, so why should she accompany him to explain to Fu Xuan?

Naturally, she was unwilling to take the painting for him.

Taking the painting to him means changing the seal of Xie Zhan on the painting to that of Xie Xinyao.

She didn't even admit that it was she who went on to continue the painting on the premise that she knew it was his work.According to Xie Xinyao's plan with her, it is fine for her to kill her and refuse to admit it. Xie Xinyao can ask her to paint because she is unwell and lazy, and Xie Zhan will not blame Xie Xinyao.

But what they thought was a seamless plan was not worth mentioning in front of the young minister of Dali Temple who was used to the sophistry of suspects.It can be broken easily.

I just heard this indifferent gentleman say leisurely: "I have a marriage contract bestowed by the Holy Majesty, I thank my family, including my elder sister, and naturally they all hope that I will get married with the helper girl as soon as possible. reason."

"... But the elder sister took the painting that I was going to give to my fiancée without my knowledge, and then, she just invited you to write a sequel, write a poem, and even printed my private seal In the end, it was rumored that Jiankang City is well known in the whole city, and my fiancée misunderstood."

"...If the ins and outs of such a coincidence are spread out, I'm afraid it will arouse people's suspicion. I, my elder sister, was coerced or induced by someone to do such a stupid thing."

Hearing this, Wang Zhiyi already fully understood that Xie Zhan was threatening her——

This matter will eventually be settled on the tone of "she coerced or induced Xie Xinyao".

Instinctively, she wanted to explain that she didn't do it, but just as she opened her mouth, Xie Zhan interrupted her with a chuckle.

Xie Zhan didn't have the patience to deal any further, he threw the last straw that broke the camel's back: "After all, no one would believe that my elder sister would be so ignorant, and deliberately set up a bridge for a brother who is engaged to another girl."

Even he himself never imagined that the elder sister, who was always smart, would be so confused and count his brother.

After all, she is a girl who has never been out of the court, and she has limited experience in playing tricks. At this moment, the opponent is Xie Shaoqing, who has been solving cases for many years and has ruthless tricks. She has defeated her psychological defense in a few words.

After Xie Zhan finished speaking, it was no surprise that Wang Zhiyi's mind was buzzing.

Yes, Xie Xinyao has always been an excellent, wise and decent girl. If such a "coincidence" is deliberately promoted by Xie Zhan, in the end, it will not be Xie Xinyao who will lose her reputation, but herself. .

Seeing that her body was slightly sluggish and her complexion was embarrassing, Xie Zhan didn't say any more, leaving a sentence "Today I will see the original work" and strode out of the gazebo.

 Because there are high school readers, I will make a long-winded sentence. Here is a word "looking at the neck and back", which means that the neck and back of the other party can be seen, that is, the distance is very close, and you can catch up.Generally used in negative sentences, "It's hard to hold a candle to it", indicating a big gap.

  Hey, it's not that I'm good at being a teacher, it's mainly because I went through the college entrance examination back then... I hope you all get good grades!
