captive skylark

Chapter 61

"If I say no, I don't have it. It's just that I said something wrong for a while. Auntie, don't think too much, just rest. I have to go back to my room to read, so I won't accompany Auntie."

He dropped these words and fled hastily, but when he opened the door, he saw Yunxi outside.

She raised her hand and was about to knock on the door.

The two sides looked at each other, Xie Jue avoided his eyes first, "Why is my sister here?"

Yun Xi showed him the snack box he was carrying, "Just now I went out with Sister Shuang to buy pancakes to eat, and seeing that they were just made, I bought some more, thinking of sending them to my aunt to try."

She looked at him with a smile, "Brother, do you want to eat some too? It's still hot!"

"Eat it, I don't like to eat these sweet and greasy things." Xie Jue moved away and let Yunxi enter the room.

She walked past him lightly, and even the skirt that was lifted up when she crossed the threshold had a vague fragrance.

Xie Jue followed her and looked back.

Yunxi was eating cakes and talking with Aunt Fang by the couch, with a sweet smile and an exceptionally gentle and appropriate manner.

It was already Youshi when he came out of the west courtyard, and Xie Jue had already left.

Yun Xi lifted her skirt, came down from the steps, walked to the gate of the courtyard, turned her head again, looked inside for a while, thoughtful.

*
Aunt Fang will not let this matter go, it is related to Xie Sui's future, she is going to make a big fuss, and she must catch the culprit before she can give up.

Taking advantage of Xie Dingfang's visit to the west courtyard at night, she cried and told him the whole story.

"There is such a thing?" Xie Dingfang said angrily after hearing this: "Don't worry, I will definitely find that person and find out the truth, so that I won't let Sui'er suffer this grievance in vain."

He asked her again, "Did he see the appearance of that villain?"

"Never." Aunt Fang covered up Xie Jue's subsequent denials, "He fell into the water at that time, and was stunned for a while, and didn't remember it until later. At first, I thought I made a mistake, so I also Don’t dare to speak out.”

Aunt Fang clings to the handkerchief, tears streaming down her face.

Xie Dingfang comforted her in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I will never let this matter go away."

On the second day, everyone in Xie's house copied and inspected.

The manager in charge asked Xie Dingfang, "Can I search the Tangluo Garden where this cousin lives?"

"No need." Xie Dingfang said: "She is young, don't scare her."

Another one, it would be too ugly to strictly calculate that it is not my family.

The steward took the order and went down.

During the inspection, both Xie Shuang and Yun Xi hid in Mrs. Xie's room, listening to the smog outside and making a fuss.

Yun Xi's face was silent, "How could such a thing happen?"

Mrs. Xie hugged her and Xie Shuang into her arms, "Don't be afraid, grandma is here!"

He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Such a thing happened in our house, we must find out the thief, and we must not tolerate it!"

Xie Jue also followed the sound and rushed over.

Seeing him, Yun Xi and Xie Shuang both shed tears and called him together.

"Second brother."

"Brother Cheng Yu."

They are all inexperienced girls in the boudoir. When encountering such a thing, it is human nature to be afraid and frightened.

"It's all my fault." Xie Sui was extremely apologetic, "It made such a big fuss that it frightened my sisters."

"What are you talking about, brother?" Xie Shuang wiped away tears with a handkerchief, "We are all brothers and sisters, my brother was framed by thieves, do you want us to ignore it?"

"It's just that I don't know who is so bad, who did such a heart-wrenching thing and hurt the second brother."

Yun Xi followed suit and said, "Yes, brother Cheng Yu. We're fine, don't worry. Right now, the most important thing is to find the person who caused brother Cheng Yu to fall into the water."
