227 Chapter 227: Four or two to pull a thousand catties 2
Xuan Yi had a feeling. At this time, it seemed that he should politely reply, "Okay." However, if he said this good thing, it would be ridiculous.
Xuan Yi didn't speak, and Xian Zijian didn't speak either. The two of them were silent, listening to the faint gurgling sound of boiling water, the surging sound of the river in the distance, and the mountain breeze blowing from the mountains, accompanied by the faint sound of gardenia.
The fragrance of flowers lingered around them, and the environment was so beautiful and quiet, but their hearts seemed not to be at peace.
Xian Zijian waited quietly for Xuan Yi to speak. She kept fanning the fire with the fan in her hand. She occasionally stopped to make a pot of tea and picked up the cup to taste the tea. Her movements were always slow and smooth, and it was impossible to tell what her mood was.
Good or bad, he didn't even raise his eyes to look at Xuan Yi, as if there was no such person in front of him.
Xuan Yi is really not used to it. He has never encountered such a situation. He has no way to control the situation. He even has no way to ask Xian Ziqian to take the initiative to mention the divorce letter, and even if he takes the initiative to mention it,
, and could not hear Xian Ziqian's views and attitude on this matter. Her attitude towards the divorce letter was as if the matter had nothing to do with her, and Xuan Yi felt that she was like an ignorant child and a bit of a scoundrel.
"My father said that he wants to meet you in private." Xuan Yi sighed in his heart and said slowly.
Xian Ziqian nodded, her voice gentle and calm, "Okay, is it in Xiaoyaoju or somewhere else? In Prince Xuan's Mansion, we may not be able to do it in private."
Xuan Yi hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said half thoughtfully: "Originally, I wanted to arrange it in Prince Xuan's Mansion. You are my wife, and it is polite to meet my parents. However, Sister Ruoshui is here, and I don't want you to be with her.
Meet, and for now, I don’t want you two to meet. To be precise, I secretly don’t want her to know your existence.”
Xian Ziqian stared at Xuan Yi, the expression on her face seemed to fluctuate slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. Although Xuan Yi saw the ups and downs in her expression, he did not take advantage of her next answer, "
Do you mean that you want Miss Ruoshui to not know the existence of Purple Daphne for the rest of her life, or do you just want her to know the existence of Purple Daphne for the time being?"
Xuan Yi frowned slightly and asked unclearly: "How to say it?"
"If it's just temporary, given the status of Mr. Xuan, Zi Yuan will choose to swallow his anger if he doesn't want to be divorced. If it's long term, Zi Yuan will take the divorce letter you wrote and leave obediently." Xian Zi Yuan said, slowly
He poured himself another cup of tea and said casually, "This good tea is really not brewed. It has already lost its flavor after just a few brews. It is too good to be savored again and again."
Xuan Yi looked at Xian Ziqian who no longer looked at him, and was secretly annoyed in her heart. This "hateful" little girl was trying to beat around the bush to confirm whether his divorce letter was true or false. It seemed that she had already guessed that the divorce letter was stolen by the Queen Mother.
I know it is related to him and has a certain purpose! "I am not sure about this yet. After all, you are the wife given to me by the Queen Mother herself. You have not made any unforgivable mistakes, and I cannot divorce you easily. However,
, you also know that the fault is not necessarily yours."
Xian Zijian nodded and said in a very gentle tone: "Then let's wait for your father-in-law to arrange it. Zijian is waiting for your father-in-law at Xiaoyaoju."
Xuan Yi found that Xian Ziqian called him differently. Occasionally he would use the word "Xianggong", and sometimes he would respectfully call him Mr. Xuan. Sometimes he would use "you" and sometimes "you". The change in tone made him feel
It felt like Xian Ziqian consciously or unconsciously controlled the tone of the conversation between the two of them. When the topic became sensitive, she would return to gentleness without leaving a trace.
"Zi Jian asked the kitchen to cook rice porridge. I wonder if my husband would like to drink some." Xian Zi Jian seemed not to want to talk about this topic anymore and smiled slightly, "Zi Jian drank some good tea here, and she actually felt a little hungry.
It's a pity that it's a little far away from the kitchen, otherwise, you can smell the aroma of white rice porridge."
Listening to what Xian Zijian said, Xuan Yi also felt a little hungry. Since Xian Zijian no longer asked about the divorce letter, in fact, Xian Zijian didn't mention it at all. Xuan Yi thought with some frustration that it was entirely because he deliberately brought up the topic.
They cited the divorce letter, but Xian Zijian did not cooperate at all. Before the next step of the plan began, and before his father met Xian Zijian, he did not want the matter to cause too much trouble. With Xian Zijian's character, she might really be "good."
If he takes the divorce letter and leaves Xiaoyaoju, half of his plans will be lost.
It seems that he needs to warn the Xian family in advance and not allow them to accept Xian Zijian who has been "exorcised" from the house. He also needs to make Xian Zijian understand that if she is excommunicated from Prince Xuan's Mansion, she will never be able to turn around in this life!
However, now, he still chose to give up this topic temporarily. "Yes, I don't think so even if you don't say it. But when you say it, I really feel a little hungry. Besides white rice porridge, what else is there?"
Something nice to eat?”
Xian Zijian shook her head and said slowly: "I didn't plan on bringing you back. Zijian doesn't always have a big appetite, so I just asked the kitchen to boil some rice porridge and make two side dishes. I asked them to prepare some fresh ones at noon.
The scallion pancakes taste good, but I'm afraid I won't feel comfortable eating them at night, so I asked them to distribute some noodles and prepare some new ones, which I guess have already been made."
Xuan Yi thought for a while and said, "How about I ask Guard Jin to go to Zuixian Tower to choose some?"
Xian Ziqian shook her head and said calmly: "I don't like eating outside food very much. If you think the food is too light, Ziling will ask the kitchen to cook something delicious. If my husband wants to come back for dinner, can you tell me in advance, even if you prepare it?
It would be better if you didn't come back than if you came back suddenly and Ziqian didn't know how to deal with it. Anyway, there are many servants in the house, so the food won't be wasted if you don't come back."
Xuan Yi only felt that Xian Ziqian was talking about this in a calm tone, just like an ordinary couple sitting at the table chatting about home affairs. There were no ups and downs, no big issues, but it was very warm and comfortable. He couldn't help but calm down some of the thoughts in his heart and laughed.
He joked: "Xian Zijian, can you really tolerate everything I have?"
Xian Ziqian glanced at Xuan Yi, smiled slightly, and said half-truthfully: "If you have intentions, do I care if you can change? No! Then why should I care? If you did it unintentionally, wouldn't I be asking for it if I care?"
If it’s boring, naturally I won’t care.”
Xuan Yi was startled when he heard his own voice saying: "Zi Yu, you don't seem to love me."
Xian Zijian smiled lightly and said half-sarcastically: "How many people in the world really stay together because of love? When you ask this, can you also ask Zijian, do you love Zijian?"
How will Xuan Yi face this situation? There is no part in his plan that Zi Yuan doesn't love him. When he finds that he can't be sure whether Zi Yuan loves him or not, how will he take the next step in his plan?
