Chapter 16

Auntie sets up a trap

There was such a big fuss here that Mrs. Xie was also alarmed and sent someone over to ask questions.

Yun Xi only said that he accidentally knocked over the tray, and that his clothes were wet and he had to go back to Tangluo Garden to change.

"Then go quickly, it's cool in spring, don't freeze in a moment."

Mrs. Xie had already walked over and wanted to arrange for a maid to accompany her, but she was stopped by Aunt Fang, "Yuan'er's usual clothes are too plain. Although it is the period of filial piety, today is a good day after all. I happen to have a new girl there.

I made a blue gauze skirt made of brocade and azure. It is the most elegant. It looks good today, so go to my place to change it."

Aunt Fang thought carefully, Yun Xi nodded and followed her back to the west courtyard with Lu Qi.

The green gauze skirt was placed on the desk in the wing room. Aunt Fang said: "It was just delivered from the shop the day before yesterday. I haven't even put it on yet. Yuan'er, try it on quickly."

"Thank you, auntie."

Yun Xi took Lu Qi around the screen to change clothes in the inner room. As soon as he took off his outer shirt and put it on the rack, Aunt Fang said: "Hey... look at my memory, this is also stained with wine."

She looked around and saw no maid.

There were many people in the house today, so she sent all the maids and servants to the front yard to help, so she called Lu Qi, "Follow me and get my apricot-white coat for your girl to change into."

Lu Qi responded and followed behind.

Yun Xi had already taken off half of his clothes, so he took off his wet dress without waiting for her, then raised his hand to get the blue gauze skirt hanging on the shelf and put it on.

It's late spring, and it only rained a few times the day before yesterday. It's the time when the weather is getting cold all over the place.

But the wing room in the west courtyard was warm and intoxicating. I don't know if the incense burner was burning, but the air seemed to be filled with an alluring and intoxicating sweet fragrance.

It was too late when Yun Xi realized something was wrong. Her whole body was limp and her steps were unsteady. She didn't care about the wine stains on her shirt for the moment. She gathered it casually on her body and forced herself to open the door.

Daylight floods in, but the door opens from the outside.

The next moment, she fell into an extremely familiar embrace.

I was transported back to that midwinter in a trance.

It was windy and snowy, and on the top of the cliff, the young master came riding his horse and whipping his whip.

Yun Xi's eyes filled with tears, and she tightly grasped Xie Heng's sleeves, "Help me..."

Tears flowed down her cheeks, and she looked even more fragile and pitiful than she did then.

"Brother Xingzhi, save me..."

In the verandah, Xie Zuo hurried over after receiving the news.

The west courtyard is not big, and there are only a few rooms on the left and right wings.

He first remembered Aunt Fang's words and went straight to the east room, even though the door was open.

I poked my head and looked inside, but it was empty.

Xie Jue became anxious for a moment and searched from room to room in the east room, only to find that they were all empty.

"Sister Yuan...Sister Yuan..."

He didn't dare to call anyone loudly, so he just pushed the door open over and over again to confirm that no one was there.

His sister Yuan had already left at some point.

Xie Jue's face turned pale, and he slumped down along the wall. He suddenly remembered what his aunt had just said to him.

"Don't you understand?" She gritted her teeth, looking like she hated the iron. "The old lady never thought about marrying her to you. Look at her again. On weekdays, brother Chengyu calls her brother Chengyu.

How nice. But where is the hairpin you gave her? Did she wear it today?"

"Listen to my aunt, she is in the west courtyard now. There are so many foreigners in the house today. As long as the matter between you two comes to public, no matter whether he is the son of the Xu family or the Zhao family, she will have no choice but to marry you."

Aunt Fang spoke sincerely and called him by his nickname, "Juier, don't you like her? This is your only chance."
