away from the heart

Chapter 64
The night was dark, and there were a few candles flickering in the dim ancestral hall, and a huge long-burning incense was lit in the middle, burning very slowly, and it didn't go down much after a long time.

Chuyue knelt aside, looking at the densely packed tablets on the desk.A gust of night wind blew by, and she shivered. She couldn't help clasping her hands together, and said silently: "Everyone in the Xue family, heroes, heroes, I have never done anything to owe your Xue family, besides, I am leaving soon. , you don’t have to embarrass me.”

Suddenly there was a loud noise behind him, and Chuyue sat paralyzed on the ground in fright. Looking back, she saw the door was open and a figure barged in. "Xue Yao?!" Chuyue screamed out in shock, and was furious for a while, her eyes darkened and she passed out.

Xue Yao rushed over and hugged her in his arms.Nanny Zhou looked at Chuyue at the door, and stepped forward hesitantly: "General, the old lady has an order..."

Xue Yao went straight out: "I will explain to the old lady myself. Today, Mrs. Fan has something wrong, so you all wash your necks and wait."

He carried Chuyue back to his room and put it down gently.After tossing and tossing like this, she might be extremely tired, but she was still restless in a drowsy sleep, frowning tightly.Xue Yao held her hand, which was so cold that there was no temperature.He murmured distressedly: "Li Renhua... I saw it, thank you."

There were chaotic footsteps outside the door, and the old lady walked in with a stick surrounded by servants.Xue Yao quickly knelt down: "Nephew has seen aunt."

The old lady sat down, her anger still lingering: "Yao'er, what are you doing? Don't think that I don't know what's going on in the mansion because I'm on the mountain. Since this princess got married, our family lived in peace one day. Is it?!"

"Aunt!" Xue Yao hurriedly explained, "It was indeed a misunderstanding before, but now..."

"You don't need to explain to her!" The old lady glanced at Chuyue on the couch, her face full of disdain, "I can see her attitude towards the old man clearly today! This princess is arrogant and unseemly. Thinking of you because After marrying such a woman, I have to avoid suspicion and hand over military power, and I panic!"

"Auntie, my nephew has fulfilled his father and brother's last wish by defeating Xi Zhao, and has no regrets. The matter of handing over the military power is a quick retreat, a wise move to protect oneself, and has nothing to do with Chuyue." Xue Yao turned his head and looked at Chuyue, with a soft expression on his face. After reconciling, she showed a touch of tenderness, "Chuyue is a bit willful, but she is actually a kind-hearted person. Auntie will know after spending time with her."

The old lady saw it in her eyes, shook her head and sighed: "Auntie can't tell you these great truths. But there are more than tens of thousands of women in this world, why do you just like such a sick child?!"

"She...is fine." Xue Yao kowtowed and looked directly at the old lady, "My nephew has heard that she did contradict my aunt today, but it was all because her nephew made a mistake first, which made her feel angry Depressed. Now that she is unwell, let my nephew kneel down on her behalf for the plate of Changming incense in the ancestral hall, and make amends to my aunt."

After Xue Yao finished speaking, she pushed the door open and left. The old lady knocked on her crutch resentfully, and sighed.

The bright moon was setting in the west, and Chuyue was lying on the couch, already in a dream.

She was walking in a thick mist, and there were faint silhouettes of pavilions in the distance, and she didn't know where she was.Chuyue moved her steps in confusion, and called out, "Is anyone there?"

There was no answer.She walked for a while, and finally two figures, a man and a woman, came into view.The woman's back was facing her, and she couldn't see her face, only her head full of black hair was coiled high into a flying fairy bun, her figure was enchanting.

The two sat opposite each other at the two ends of the table, on which some food and wine were placed.The woman stretched out her hand, holding a porcelain cup in her slender fingers, and handed it to the man opposite.The man raised his head and drank it. After a while, he suddenly supported the table with one hand, half stood up, and said something in his mouth.

The woman stretched out her hand again, hooking his shoulder coquettishly.The man immediately threw the woman down like a hungry wolf, and the two became entangled.

Chuyue screamed and quickly raised her hand to cover her eyes.Hearing that there was no reaction from the two of them, she couldn't help being curious, and quietly opened her fingers.

Panting heavily, the man raised his head from the woman's neck, his face flushed and his eyes dazed.Chuyue saw it clearly this time, and turned pale with shock: "Xue Yao, you actually?!"

Shocked and angry, Chuyue opened her eyes, unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality for a while, she grabbed the pillow next to her and beat it wildly, screaming: "Ah——Xue Yao! You are shameless, you are lewd!"

Tao Yao hurriedly opened the door and came in: "Princess, what's wrong? Who is lewd?"

Chuyue came back to her senses, saw the morning light outside the window, and said with a mournful face, "Did I fall asleep again during the taboo hour?"

"The princess passed out last night." Tao Yao looked at her cautiously, "But the princess...was dreaming again? Who died this time?"
