Chapter 194: What is more cruel than killing is destroying one's heart
Li Yuening stood up, straightened the clothes that she had just wrinkled, and said to Xie Lin without raising her head:
"Xie Zhan's sweetheart is the daughter of Shen Kuo, a fourth-rank official of the dynasty, named Shen Congyin.
She is a well-educated and well-mannered lady from a noble family.
She is much better than me, the daughter of a quack doctor."
After saying this, without caring about Xie Lin's reaction, Li Yuening turned around the screen, opened the door and walked out.
It's already dark outside.
Li Yuening came quietly and left quietly.
What is more cruel than killing someone is destroying their heart!
Luo Zhiyuan called a doctor that night, and she didn't calm down until dawn.
When Li Yuening returned to Shiyuan,
Xie Shi had already gotten ready and was sitting at the table waiting for Li Yuening to eat.
Seeing her come back, he stood up and walked over to her and asked, "Are you back from the old man?"
Li Yuening nodded and looked at Xie Shi, with deep pity in her eyes.
What would happen if my original self had married him in my previous life?
"How is he?" Xie Shi saw Li Yuening staring at him and touched his face.
He came forward and joked, "Why are you looking at me so obsessed?
It hasn’t been a few hours since we last met.”
Li Yuening pushed away the head that came up to her and said, "I'm hungry. Let's eat first."
Xie Yi was very reliable. He filled the table with fish, shrimp, meat and eggs, but it looked like they had been reheated several times.
Some of it is not fresh anymore.
"Just make do with it for now, I'll make it for you again later." Xie Shi picked out the bones from a piece of fat and tender fish and put it into Li Yuening's bowl.
Li Yuening sympathized with his hard work and said, "You've had a hard time traveling today, so you should rest early in the evening.
I have to meet the master's family tomorrow."
Xie Shi, "I heard from Feiyi that you had some unpleasantness with the doorman when you came back?"
Li Yuening took a bite of the fish, nodded and said vaguely: "Well, I need a maid to urge me to pay my respects. I think this is Yecheng."
Xie Shi pushed the peeled shrimp to Li Yuening, wiped his hands with the towel beside him and said, "It's a great honor to be assigned here.
It seems that she is not favored, so don’t worry about it.”
"We've already torn our relationship apart, so what if a favored one comes?
I'll fight him back." Li Yuening snorted.
"it is good."
Li Yuening, "How are you doing?"
Xie Shi swallowed the food in his mouth and shook his head. "They are faster than we thought.
In addition to the grain store that I have been paying special attention to,
Others who have been arranged by the host have taken over.
The old man's people were sold out.
Those who have not been sold have also taken refuge,
We can only replace them with a new group of people in the future."
Li Yuening, "Xie An is really a piece of mud that can't be plastered on the wall.
You don't know that it was Xie Yi who sent us the letter.
I don't think Xie An has a good opinion of us at all.
Neither Xie An nor Xie Fang were at the old man's place.
It is also miserable to not even have someone to make the decision.”
Xie Shi paused chewing and asked, "Is he seriously ill?"
"He won't die for the time being, but I won't worry too much about it." Li Yuening had medicine, but didn't want to use it on Xie Lin.
Xie Shi only said: "Life and death are determined by fate. Speaking of Xie Fang, he was placed by the master to be next to the old man.
I have learned a lot about the old man over the years.
The old man is like this now because he doesn’t know people well.”
Li Yuening finished eating and wiped her mouth and asked, "What about the others?"
“Yu Cheng is still here, he has been guarding the grain store.
The other two, Liu Quan and Lu Tian, did not have indentures and were sent home." Xie Shi finished the last mouthful of soup and put down the bowl.
"It seems that we didn't reach an agreement. I'll send someone to ask if he wants to go north with me.
Liu Quan's actuarial skills are pretty good.
I was counting on him to teach me a group of people." Li Yuening stood up and walked around the room.
Xie Shi called the maid to clean up the dishes and said, "I have tried to find out what he wants to say before.
In the early years of famine, all his family members starved to death.
Later, after joining the old man's caravan, he learned the arithmetic skills from the old shopkeeper.
He was a loner, and had not married until he was thirty. If one person was well fed, the whole family would not be hungry.
I asked Lao Wu to learn arithmetic from him before.
I wonder if Lao Wu has gone yet?"
"You want Lao Wu to worship him as his master?" Li Yuening understood Xie Shi's intention instantly.
Xie Shi chuckled, "Well, if a childless person has a disciple,
That is not where the disciple goes, he follows.
I can also provide for him in his old age and see him to the end of his life in the future."
"Will Mrs. Lu agree? She wants Xie Yi to study." If Mrs. Lu knew that Xie Shi had kidnapped her son to do business,
Don't bring the knife over here.
Xie Shi leaned on the couch, supporting his head with one hand, watching Li Yuening spinning in circles to digest her food.
He said confidently: "Based on the current situation, Second Aunt's wish may be in vain.
When a son grows up, he is no longer under the control of his mother. If the fifth son wants to do something, the second aunt cannot control him.
She can only subdue the second brother."
Li Yuening, "Then you decide.
Today I asked the old man and his wife about Li Kuida. "
"How did he say?"
"From the beginning to the end, it was you who should be engaged to me.
Because he knew my relationship with Divine Doctor Valley in advance,
He had selfish motives in bringing Xie Zhan and I together.
He also played an important role in the death of his original body in his previous life.
And you probably knew the whole story before you sent the letter.
Xie Shi, tell me, if she had married you in her previous life, would the ending be different? "Li Yuening suddenly wanted to know what Xie Shi was thinking.
Xie Shi reached out and pulled Li Yuening to sit beside the couch, "Yuening, she is she, you are you,
I can tell the difference very clearly.
I am a person with clear goals.
Just like when I first met you,
I made all these preparations because I wanted to marry you.
It is true that at that time, Xie Zhan had more advantages than me.
I still tried hard.
If I had wanted to marry her in my previous life, I would have fought for it given my personality.
No, that means I never liked her."
Hearing Xie Shi's answer, Li Yuening did not feel much. She touched her chest and said, "Xie Shi, I feel anxious..."
That feeling of being out of control came back again.
"Let's go to the space." Xie Shi said.
With the barrier of space, Li Yuening would feel better.
Xie Shi got up and closed the door, and the two went to Shiyueju, "Is it better?"
Li Yuening nodded, "The panic feeling just now is gone.
Xie Shi, go check on Xie Zhan tomorrow.
I always feel that something is wrong with me and it has something to do with him."
"Okay." A murderous look flashed in Xie Shi's eyes.
"Coming all the way from Jiangning,
Many people and things are different from the previous life.
I thought he was useless, and his ending would be different from his previous life.
It seems that we still cannot take it lightly. "Li Yuening thought for a moment,
What happened in the Xie Mansion at this time?
Mr. Xie passed away, and someone from the host family came.
Li Yuening and Xie Zhan got married, and Xie Zhan faked his death.
Feng went crazy.
Only the people from the main family can make it come true.
It was impossible for her to marry Xie Zhan.
The old man won't die anytime soon.
Xie Zhan faked his death?
Li Yuening immediately said: "Thank you, let's check the Shen family tomorrow.
See if the Shen family has left Jinling City."
Xie Zhan was abandoned by the Shen family. Will the Shen family still use him?
Will Xie Zhan still marry Shen Wenyin without any hesitation?
Under what circumstances would Xie Zhan agree?
Li Yuening discussed these speculations with Xie Shi.
Xie Shi said: "I promise you a high position in the imperial court, a high salary,
Xie Zhan studied in order to pass the imperial examination in the future.
He avoided so many detours and his hand was disabled.
As long as Shen Jialu showed a little bit of this intention,
Xie Zhan will hold on tightly and not let go. "
Li Yuening, "Are there no other scholars in Jinling City? Do you have to revolve around Xie Zhan?"
Another person who shared the same idea as her was Shen Congwen, who was currently questioning Shen Wenyin.
