When he heard what I said, he suddenly became hoarse and stammered for a long time without knowing what to say, just staring at me.
I even chuckled: "I offended."
This time, his face suddenly turned red and white, very ugly. The girl standing beside him seemed not young anymore, but she was still dressed up unfamiliar. She gently pulled his sleeves and whispered: "Brother, don't talk to her cousin like this."
Cousin...
Although I had already realized before seeing them that the person who came must be from the Yan family, regardless of distance, I was still a little stunned when I actually heard the sound of "cousin" calling out.
I looked at the girl, and she was also looking at me. Seeing me looking at her, she hurriedly looked at me and said with a smile: "Cousin, I am Ruoyu, this is my brother Zicong."
Yan Zicong, Yan Ruoyu... These two names are quite interesting.
I looked at the beautiful face with interest, and with her brother's angry and impatient expression. Seeing that I didn't say anything, she smiled and said, "We met when we were young. But after my grandfather passed away, we had less contact. This time we heard that we were all very happy to see my cousin."
She said this very respectfully, but she was completely unsparing. She explained all the relationships to me in an instant.
I smiled and said, "I remember, is the fifth uncle okay?"
She immediately smiled and said, "Grandpa is fine. It's just that the old man has a lot of rules and will not arrive in two days."
"My uncle is old and can't get bumpy."
"Thank you, my cousin, for your considerateness."
We chatted together quickly, and we were both intimate and familiar. We couldn't tell that we had just met, but we hadn't seen each other for decades.
Just now, the atmosphere changed suddenly, and everyone around was at a loss, especially her brother Yan Zicong, who stood beside him with a ugly face. Seeing that I didn't even look at him more, he immediately "hummed" and left with a squirt.
Yan Ruoyu looked at her brother's back and turned to me and smiled, "Cousin, don't be surprised. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we've been a little bit apart, so my brother--"
Seeing her so attentive, I hurriedly smiled and said, "Where should the family walk around more to get intimate."
Originally, she looked like she wanted to watch a good show, but at this time, seeing us getting along well, Xue Qian, who was standing at the door, also frowned. Seeing that we were getting happier and happier as we chatted, she coughed and interrupted us: "What are you doing when you are still standing? The meal is ready, are you going to ask for it again?"
Yan Ruoyu hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, aunt."
As she said that, she went up to support Xue Qian, who looked very well-behaved and intimate. Xue Qian naturally didn't want to say anything else. She helped her walk out slowly. When she turned around the corridor in front, Yan Ruoyu turned around and smiled at me.
Su Su and Wuwei Monk didn't move immediately, just watched them all walk out.
At this time, Su Su said, "This lady Ruoyu is so kind, she doesn't look like her brother at all."
I smiled and said, "This is the lady of a family."
The fearless monk said uneasy: "She looks pretty good, not like her brother. Humph, the dog can't spit out ivory!"
When I heard this, I knew what they had said just now, so I smiled and said, "Uncle Wuwei, you promised me not to cause trouble when I come back."
He said one after another: "But that Yan Zicong—"
"I know," I interrupted him with a smile, and said softly: "These people are ignorant. Uncle Wuwei, you are an elder, why bother with him?"
"Anyway, Sajia just can't listen to others saying that the eldest lady is not good."
I smiled even deeper and said, "Okay, I know Uncle Wuwei is partial to me. Let's go and have a meal."
He glared at the places where those people were walking, and then said, "Sajia will not eat with them, and he has no appetite."
"Uncle Wuwei--"
"Sajia asked people to cook vegetarian food and not eat with them at the same table."
Then I remembered that although he was a wine and meat monk, he would sometimes hold fast. When he remembered the conflict between him and Yan Zicong just now, if he had to come to the table and was worried about something, I smiled and said, "Okay. Then Uncle Wuwei, just use it yourself."
"Um."
"Su Su, accompany me."
"Why."
We separated from Uncle Wuwei, and I quickly followed. When I walked to the dining room, I saw a large table of people. Of course, some of the relatives who came today, except for Yan Zicong and Yan Ruoyu whom I had just met, there were people from several other families. In my grandfather's generation, except for the youngest fifth uncle, who is still alive, the other uncles have passed away early, leaving behind a large population in the family. They can't tell if they don't interact on weekdays. Today, there are only a few people coming, and a table can't be squeezed out.
And when I looked over, my heart suddenly stumbled.
Yan Ruoyu helped Xue Qian sit down, looked around, and then asked, "Auntie, where is the head of the family?"
Xue Qian frowned and said, "He is not in good health and has been resting in the room these days. You can go see him later."
"yes."
I listened to them and walked slowly over, sat down next to her the empty space that was specially reserved for me, and looked up at the person on the table.
Then, I glanced out the door.
The girls walked in and started to serve the meal. Although it was just breakfast, the food was very exquisite because there were so many faraway guests. But these exquisite dishes did not relax my tense nerves at all.
I've already frowned and still looking out.
"Okay, stop watching."
Xue Qian's voice rang coldly beside her.
I hurriedly turned around, and saw that she didn't look at me, and said coldly: "He has left."
"Leave?"
My breathing suddenly became tense: "He, are you back?"
She snorted coldly and looked at me from the corner of her eyes: "You are angry with me, do you still have the face to ask?"
When the others on the table heard us talking, they subconsciously looked over.
Xue Qian's face was cold, and she didn't have much enthusiasm to pick up the bowls and chopsticks in front of her and said lightly: "Get on the chopsticks."

It is naturally impossible for breakfast to eat like an ordinary banquet, laughing and laughing. With my dull attitude and Xue Qian's cold expression, everyone quietly ate the things in their own bowls, and only the dishes in front of them. In the end, Yan Zicong seemed to be unable to cook anymore. He made an excuse to eat enough, put down the porridge bowl that he had not eaten for a few sips and left.
From a distance, I saw him taking his servants out, probably going to the street.
The others were also very eye-catching. After we had finished our meal, they all left one after another. Yan Ruoyu was the last one among the guests to put chopsticks on them. When she got up, she smiled at me. Her gentle and gentle look, even though I was in a heavy mood, she couldn't help but smile back.
When she left too, only Xue Qian and I were left on the table.
I couldn't help but turn to look at her: "Old lady——"
She didn't look at me, and just waved her hand and got up to leave. I hurriedly stood up and chased her: "Old lady!"
"What did you tell me to do?" she said coldly: "Have you lost all the Yan family's face yet?"
“…”
"Yan Qingying, you are really your mother's good daughter! When you were in Jinling, you dared to get married without the orders of parents or matchmakers. Now, you have to divorce your husband without saying a word. You, a woman, actually want to divorce your husband!? Who do you think you are? Only men can divorce women in the world, and there are women who divorce your husband?!"
She became more and more angry as she spoke. She turned around and stared at me: "Yan Qingying, what else can you not do?!"
“…”
"Miss Yan, this is how you are the eldest daughter of Yan?!"
“…”
"You have really lost the Yan family's face!"
I stood there, looking at her angry look, listening to her scolding, and after a while, I spoke in the gap between her scolding, and said calmly: "Has he left Nishikawa?"
Xue Qian was already cursing hard, but suddenly she heard me speak, but asked something that had nothing to do with her scolding. She suddenly stuttered in her throat and immediately frowned: "Do you still have the face to ask?"
"I just ask if he has left Nishikawa."
"Hmph, if you still care about where he is going, what happened to you last night?"
“…”
"Yan Qingying, you are really exactly the same as your mother!"
When I heard her say my mother, my breathing was suffocated again. I felt as if someone had hit me hard on the back of my head. I was a little confused, but I still stared at her and asked as if I hadn't given up until I achieved my goal: "I want to know if he has left Xichuan!"
“…”
This time, Xue Qian didn't say anything again.
But I clearly saw that the corners of her eyes with a few wrinkles twitched slightly, and a little light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
She was not stupid either. From my inquiring eyes, she realized that I was looking at her reaction and immediately said angrily: "You want to know so much, you can check it yourself, why should you ask me?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out quickly.
I stood there, my fingers still pinching the edge of the table, but because I tried too hard, my index finger was almost twisted on the table.
Su Su stood beside me, looking at me frowning, and then watched Xue Qian leave quickly, and her back as if she was escaping, she whispered: "Miss, what's wrong?"
I looked back at her: "Do you know?"
She shook her head quickly: "I was just concerned about asking about Aunt Hong's news, and I noticed that they were coming. I really didn't expect to pay attention to Mr. Pei."
“…”
"Miss, what's wrong?"
“…”
"He, he's gone, is there anything wrong with it?"
“…”
There was a slight error in my hand, and I almost twisted my finger bones. I hurriedly let go of my hand, pinching my fingers, and my brows became tighter and tighter.
Pei Yuanxiu... is gone.
