Chapter 397
"I had been to Xia Mansion a few times at that time, but I had never seen General Xia stationed in the barracks at that time." Shen Yue said in a deep voice.

General Xia hasn't seen him before, so what about Mrs. Yu?Shen Yue's words clearly acquiesced to Ye Xinyi's question just now.

"The mother-child relationship between Mrs. Yu and the scholar is very indifferent." Shen Yue finally said.

Although Ye Xinyi had already guessed, he still couldn't believe it.Isn't Xia Yanfeng Yu's only biological son?

"I don't know exactly what's going on. In short, Mrs. Yu cares more about any other member of the Xia family than the scholar. She hasn't cared much about the scholar since he was a child."

Ye Xinyi nodded, although he couldn't understand it, but there was nothing strange about it.There are all kinds of people in this world, and who stipulates that a mother must love her only son?

Thinking about it, if they really value Xia Yanfeng, he's been away for so many years, and with the strength of the Xia family, it's actually not difficult to find him, right?
But the fact is that he has been alone in the capital for so many years, with only Shen Yue, Niu Zi, Pi Hou, and Leng Changru around him.

Ye Xinyi was silent for a long while before sighing, "If the person in Qianqing Palace knew about the relationship between Third Brother and his parents, would he suspect that he made a wrong bet?"

Shen Yue didn't answer her, but frowned at her and said, "Aren't you tired?"

This sentence made the hairs on Ye Xinyi's neck stand up instantly, he kicked him away vigilantly, and at the same time shrank back to the wall, followed by a swift tug of his hand, and pulled the quilt over, Wrap yourself firmly in it.A set of movements, smooth and flowing, done in one go.

Then, only her head was exposed outside the quilt, and she stared at him with eyes full of guard and said, "Tired! I'm so tired! I'm going to sleep now." As she spoke, she closed her eyes forcefully She closed her eyes, as if she wanted to prove it to him.

Looking at her appearance, Shen Yue felt a tickle in his throat, and then he laughed softly.

Only then did Ye Xinyi realize that he had been tricked by him, and he opened his eyes to stare at him, with a hint of fire in his eyes.

It's like a cat with its fur fried.

The more Shen Yue watched, the more he fell in love with him. He raised his hand and was hugged into his arms. He lowered his head and gave her a resounding "Bo" on her forehead. Facing her round almond eyes, he said with a straight face, " Didn’t you say you’re going to sleep when you’re tired? Then sleep! If you don’t sleep.”

"I'm asleep." After Ye Xinyi said that, he closed his eyes fiercely again.

Shen Yue looked at her, the corners of his lips curled up, his eyes softened into puddles of water.

The days in the Xia Mansion were as ordinary as water, without the turbulent undercurrent that Ye Xinyi thought there would be.In this way, the three families live in one place, and they are all following the lead of Mrs. Yu.It can be seen that Xia Changhe's power, as well as Yu's methods.

However, Mrs. Yu treated An Xiang kindly, although the matter of the marriage has not been stated directly, but if Mrs. Yu did not do it deliberately, this attitude would have been very clear.At least, Mrs. Yu is in favor of this marriage.Xia Changhe is really busy with outside affairs these days. Presumably, there is no news about Shen Yue up to now. Many people have already guessed that he is more or less fortunate, right?I don't know if Xia Changhe and the Yu family have reached a consensus.

Another point is that there are still several unmarried sons in the Xia family, and I don't know which one the Yu family wants to ration An Xiang.

An Xiang's heart sank, she just read books and learned etiquette, and she didn't seem to care about things that were directly related to her.

Ye Xinyi was almost familiar with the Xia Mansion, but he couldn't see any way to do it for a while.They came to Xia Mansion only to see what attitude Xia Mansion holds towards Shen Yue's disappearance, and to find out Xia Changhe's thoughts. If they can, they naturally hope that the Xia family is friends rather than enemies.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Ghost Festival.In Sichuan, the Ghost Festival is called "July and a half", and the customs vary from place to place.In some places, the "old man" in the family will be taken home on the tenth day of the seventh month.From that day to July [-]th or July [-]th, before the "old man" is sent away, three meals a day will be placed on the table for sacrifice.

Although the Xia family's ancestral home is in the north, it has been several generations since they moved to central Shu, and many of their habits have long been assimilated, so the rules of the Hungry Ghost Festival also follow those of Shu.

Because the "old man" has already been taken home, so when night falls these few days, people are not allowed to wander around the mansion, for fear of bumping into something and it will be bad.Especially for outsiders like An Xiang and the others who are running around in the mansion, if they are bumped into by the "ancestors" of the Xia mansion, they are afraid that something will happen.

The atmosphere of the Hungry Ghost Festival is always a bit dark, so when night falls these days, it is quiet outside, only the faint sound of the wind can be heard, and no one is heard.

She felt a little flustered today, so she sneaked out from the Wanlv Pavilion, as expected, there was no one outside.

It is said that ghosts run wild on the fourteenth day of the seventh month, but a person like Ye Xinyi, who got up from the grave and died once, is not afraid of these things at all.Besides, strictly speaking, she is not an outsider.

I don't know if there are her parents, or even the original "Ye Xinyi" among the "old people" who have been brought back. If she can bump into them, she might be able to say hello.

Ye Xinyi thought cheerfully in his heart, while walking happily.

The night breeze was faint, blowing away the last sweltering heat left in the day, as if the whole person felt much more relaxed.

There were lights on under the eaves and on the porch, not to mention, on the dark blue sky overhead, a round moon that was almost perfect was still hanging. When people saw it, they thought it was a will-o'-the-wisp, which scared people half to death.

I heard that the days in Sichuan are cloudy, with heavy clouds overhead, even in summer.Therefore, it is rare to see the moon at night in Shu, even when the moon is full in the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is often no moon to enjoy.

Thinking about it, she was quite lucky, the first time she came back to Sichuan, she was able to see such a rare moonlight.

Ye Xinyi raised his head and smiled at the full moon above his head, looked away, and continued to walk.

Along the corridor, through the rockery, and through the path, although her steps were slow, she did not stop, and she obviously had her destination long ago.

But he walked more and more sideways, until he came to a locked courtyard door, which was made of iron and was already stained with rust. The courtyard walls at both ends seemed to stretch into the depths of the night, with no end in sight.

The hanging lanterns have long since disappeared, and the night here is quiet, only the cold moonlight remains.

As far as the eyes could see, the courtyard was dark.

By the moonlight, one can vaguely see the dense branches stretching out of the wall, and it really is a lotus.

Ye Xinyi took a deep breath, and was about to raise his breath to leap up the wall, but suddenly his ears moved, a gleam of light flashed in his almond eyes, the snow in his sleeve flashed out, and there was a buzzing sound, and the sword in his sleeve was unsheathed , enveloping her figure, like a gust of wind, but with the momentum of a thunderbolt, rushing towards a certain place in the night.
