Chapter 422
Chapter 422: Chapter 422, Live Well
Qiao ruoyi had already rested. Xie Yun rushed to Qiao Ruoyi’s courtyard with a face full of anger. He looked at her peaceful sleeping face and had nowhere to vent his anger.
Qiao ruoyi seemed to be mumbling in her sleep. She softly called out, “Luo Wei.”
Xie Yun clearly heard her mumbling in her sleep. He bent down and held Qiao Ruoyi’s chin..
Qiao ruoyi woke up from the pain. When she woke up, she felt a burning pain at the corner of her lips. She reached out to touch the corner of her lips, which were covered in blood under the dim candlelight.
“Xie Yun, are you crazy?”Qiao ruoyi saw that his lips were stained with her own blood and wiped her annoyance. “Are you a dog?”
Xie Yun wiped his lips with the back of his hand. “Qiao ruoyi, in your eyes, I’m so desperate that I could even seduce a woman with Hu Caiqin’s looks?”
Qiao ruoyi frowned. “Do you think I sent Hu Caiqin?”? “I’m not that stupid to go against my sister. After the Qiao family’s daughters got married, none of their husbands were concubines. Even those concubines in Sister Ruoyin’s room were chased away. Why would I deliberately find a woman for you?”?
“What does Hu Caiqin’s decision have to do with me?”? “The Hu family is difficult to deal with. If I don’t silently admit that Hu Caiqin did such a shameful thing at home, it’s hard to guarantee that they will continue to pester me?
“The Hu family is in the wrong now. I think they won’t bother me in the future.”
After hearing Qiao Ruoyi’s explanation, Xie Yun heaved a sigh of relief. “So that’s the case. Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier? The Hu family can just send me away as they please.”
Qiao ruoyi sneered, “What’s the use of telling you about this? To let you continue to mock me for being a servant’s student, while my aunt’s family are all unscrupulous slaves?”
Xie Yun said, “If I really thought that way, I wouldn’t have married you. In these five years, I have never forgotten that day in the Northern Mountain Imperial Manor.
Back then, I said that I would take you in as a concubine because of the rules of the aristocratic families. However, I have long regretted it. Now that I have married you, I will not laugh at you anymore.
Since you and I are husband and wife, and our lives are tied together, can’t You Trust me a little more?
“I was the one who plotted against you regarding the matter of the child, and I was also wrong about what happened back then. Can’t you forget about Luo Wei and the unhappiness of the past few years? Just treat it as if I had married you back then, can’t You?”
Qiao ruoyi sneered, “No. Back then, when I was being laughed at by everyone, when I lost all my face, it was Luo Wei who helped me get through the difficult times. What right do you have to make me forget about him? It’s impossible for me to forget about him for the rest of my life.
“Since you’ve married me, whether you want to live a good life or not is up to you. It’s good that you can accept Luo Wei. If you can’t accept him, then it’s fine to make a fuss and live a good life.”
Xie Yun sighed, “Forget it.”
Xie Yun walked to Qiao Ruoyi’s side, lowered his head, and gently stroked her lower abdomen. The doctor had already taken her pulse. There was no doubt that she was his son. He was about to have both his children, so why did he have to quarrel with Qiao ruoyi endlessly?
Everything depended on the passage of time.
On the sixth day of April, the Xie family’s eldest son was born. Qiao ruoyi named the child Xie Wei, which made Xie Yun’s face darken for three days.
Lu Chen brought Qiao Jinniang to the Xie family in disguise. Qiao Jinniang went inside to see Qiao Ruoyi and his newborn child.
Lu Chen looked at Xie Yun’s expression from outside and said, “I’m so happy that Lin ‘er can see that you don’t look very happy.”
Xie Yun said, “There are a lot of Wang characters. In terms of seniority, she should be named Xie Jue. She’s really good, but she chose Wei.”
Lu Chen said, “Luo Wei saved her life. Besides, why not name it Wei? When the time comes, wouldn’t she call you father? Or would you take advantage of Luo Wei?”
Xie Yun did not feel happy about this. Instead, she felt that Lu Chen was gloating.
A hundred days after Xie Wei, Qiao Ruoyi returned to the imperial court. The Xie family often accepted ancient paintings and calligraphy from famous artists. Everyone knew that Assistant Minister Qiao loved these, and the head of the Xie family was never stingy with money.
All of a sudden, many people were envious.
Xie Yun practically agreed to Qiao Ruoyi’s every request. The two of them were in the imperial court together, and treating each other like guests was a model for husband and wife.
However, Xie Yun clearly understood that Qiao ruoyi and he could only treat each other like guests. When they returned to the Qiao family for dinner, it was obvious that they were a loving couple. When he and Qiao ruoyi were in the Qiao family, there was only awkwardness.
After leaving the Qiao family home, Xie Yun said to Qiao ruoyi, “I’ve been married for a long time and I haven’t seen Aunt Hu. It’s still early today. Why don’t we go pay respects to Aunt Hu’s grave?”
Qiao ruoyi looked at Xie Yun in surprise.
Xie Yun said, “In a few days, it will be aunt Hu’s birthday. At that time, we will be going to Luoyang. Today, we will pay respects to Aunt Hu.”
Qiao ruoyi nodded her head gently.
After entering the Qiao family’s ancestral tomb, Qiao ruoyi walked towards a distant place. The people buried here were all the aunties in the residence, but Aunt Hu’s tombstone was different from the others.
Xie Yun took the three incense sticks handed over by the tomb keeper and bowed three times towards Aunt Hu’s tombstone. “Aunt, rest in peace in heaven. I will take care of ruoyi in the future.”
Qiao ruoyi raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yun’s side profile. She was now certain that what Xie Yun said on the night of their wedding night was not nonsense, but the truth after drinking.
Otherwise, why would the high and mighty head of the Xie family bow three times to aunt?
After Xie Yun placed the three sticks of incense on the incense burner, she held Qiao Ruoyi’s hand and said, “If I let Ruo Yi down in the future, I am willing to die without a burial place.”
Qiao Ruoyi’s expression was calm. She looked at the grave not far away and at the small flowers that had bloomed on the soil added to Luo Wei’s grave last year.
Xie Yun followed Qiao Ruoyi’s gaze and looked over. “Luo Wei once wrote to me before he died.”
Qiao ruoyi looked at Xie Yun in confusion. “How come I didn’t know about this?”
“He came to look for me. He said that if I was willing to marry you and accept Nichang, he was willing to divorce her. He had always felt that he was not worthy of you.
Before he died, he told you to live well. After that, we exchanged glances. I knew that he wanted me to promise him to take care of both of you.”
“Ruoyi, you and I Live Well. Only then can we let the deceased rest in peace.”
Qiao ruoyi looked at the little flower that was blowing in the wind. It seemed like Luo Wei was smiling at her.
“I will live well in the future. I will live well in place of Luo Wei and aunt.”
..
Ten years later.
Today was Qiao Nihong’s wedding day. The Anyuan Marquis Mansion was bustling with noise and excitement. Qiao Nihong was the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis Mansion and the eldest princess’only granddaughter. Qiao Nihong was born with incomparable honor.
She was conferred the title of princess since she was young. She was the successor of the Duke’s Mansion of Qin. Qiao Nihong and Princess Weiyang were known as great Tang’s reincarnation experts.
Qiao Nihong saw Qiao Nihong’s annoyed expression and asked, “What’s wrong? who provoked you again? Today is your wedding day.”
Qiao nishang said, “It’s Lu Ang. What Time Is it now? Why isn’t he back in Chang ‘an? If he dares to miss my wedding day, I will definitely ignore him in the future!”
Qiao nishang said, “Brother Ang is also on official business. As the second Prince of Shu Province, it is his duty to go to the disaster area.”
“You only know how to put in a good word for him.”Qiao Nishang teased Qiao Nishang. “Who doesn’t know that the two of you are childhood sweethearts? Maybe you have passed.”
