She was now wearing a nightgown, made of thin fabric, and the pink bellyband cord inside the dress was faintly visible under the light. Seeing her back, Su Jinyuan became a little thoughtful.

Thinking that I would rather spend money to buy a smile on a girl with jade arms and a thousand pillows, but neglect the beautiful little wife at home, and have not slept with Xu Xiuyi except on the wedding night for more than half a year, I feel that I am losing money.

very.

Half out of desire and half out of guilt, he stepped forward and gently hugged Xu Xiuyi from behind.

He never expected that Xu Xiuyi's reaction would be so great. She almost pushed him away with all her strength, her face turned ashen.

"What are you doing?"

She questioned, as if the person in front of her was not her husband, but just a slut who had blasphemed against him.

Such a reaction really hurt Su Jinyuan.

"Xiu Yi, I just want to hug you."

It was not a sin for him to hug his wife, so why did Xu Xiuyi guard against him like a thief and a wolf.

He was very hurt, and Xu Xiuyi also felt that under normal circumstances, her reaction would be a bit excessive. After all, Su Jinyuan was her husband in name.

But she just felt inexplicably disgusted by his touch.

She could only try to steady her breath and explained: "I haven't been touched by others for a long time, and I feel that this kind of intimacy is very strange. Let's take it slow."

Su Jinyuan believed it and finally no longer felt sad. When he saw that the closet had been opened and there was a box containing their money, his mind moved to that box and he finally stopped making any intimate moves that made Xu Xiuyi uncomfortable.

"The key is probably still in the same place."

As Su Jinyuan spoke, he took out the key from the dark layer of the closet. After taking out the key, he hugged the box and said to Xu Xiuyi: "Don't tell anyone that I have been back. The more people who know, the more dangerous I will be. Xiuyi,

I've been sorry for you for everything in the past, and I will compensate you a million times in the future."

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Xu Xiuyi called out: "Wait a minute."

Su Jinyuan felt happy, thinking that Xu Xiuyi was reluctant to let him go.

But I heard Xu Xiu recall: "There is something you can't take away."

After speaking, he stepped forward and opened his hand to Su Jinyuan: "Key."

Su Jinyuan gave her the key, feeling very disappointed. After all, he had been too sorry for her before, and it was a bit difficult for her to accept him again for a while, but he believed that he would move Xu Xiuyi with his integrity.

He saw Xu Xiuyi open the box. The box was full of gold and silver jewelry. Some were Xu Xiuyi's dowry and some were Su Jinyuan's. After "he" died, all the clothes were taken out of the closet and buried with "him". But before

The jade ring, jade pendant and other valuable objects are still kept in this box, many of which are familiar to him.

There was just one thing, and he couldn't remember when he had seen it.

It is a delicate flower, shaped like a peony or a peony. The petals are made of pure gold and are as thin as paper. The petals have clear lines and uneven textures. Such carving and polishing skills can only be done by a master who is hard to find in the world.

.

What is even more rare is a little blood red in the middle of the golden flower.

Su Jinyuan was also a jewelry player, so he could tell at a glance that the blood-red jade was not a chicken-blood gemstone. It was extremely rare, and a piece the size of a fingernail was worth a fortune.

Seeing Xu Xiuyi take out the flower, she returned the key to him: "Okay."

"Where did this come from?" he asked.

Xu Xiuyi prevaricated: "It was given by someone else."

"Who?" Su Jinyuan wondered who could give such a generous gift. He was partly curious, but generally a little uneasy.

Xu Xiuyi glanced at him: "I'm from my mother's family."

Su Jinyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was not unusual for such a treasure as the Protector's Mansion to be able to produce a few pieces.

Hearing the fourth watch of the drum beating outside, he knew he was leaving. He was quite reluctant to leave Xu Xiuyi. He looked at her several times before saying, "Take good care of mother and wait for me to come home."

It was originally a very warm sentence, but Xu Xiuyi's expression turned cold. Su Jinyuan thought that Xu Xiuyi hated him for the mistakes he had made, so he didn't think much about it. He just wanted to treat Xu Xiuyi well one day, and stay together as husband and wife until they grow old.

.

Su Jinyuan has left, but Xu Xiuyi is no longer sleepy. Looking at the sky outside, the moon has already climbed for half a day, and it is expected that the maids in the mansion will get up to do their work.

She waited all night, but what was supposed to come didn't come, and what wasn't supposed to come did.

Su Jinyuan is back, how is she going to tell An Chengshao about this?

Or maybe she just said it. When Su Jinyuan found out that the murderer came home, she packed her bags and asked An Chengshao to take her away. It didn't matter where she went. After all, she would not live with Su Jinyuan.

An Chengshao broke the appointment because Qin Yan cut his wrist.

He originally planned to go home first and send Wu Mo back anyway, but he was not worried about Wu Mo being so drunk.

But when he returned to the room, Wu Mo was not there, but Qin Yan, whose clothes were stained with blood, was lying on the bed.

Qin Yan cut his wrists. When he saw him, he was already in a daze and his face was pale. Two lines of clear tears hung in the corners of his eyes. When he saw him, they fell down.

He was angry, angry and distressed, so he quickly sent Qin Yan to a nearby medical clinic. He simply discovered it early, stopped the bleeding and bandaged it, but his life was saved at least.

Now at the fourth watch, Qin Yan is still lying on his lap holding his arm, eyes wide open, as if she is afraid that he will leave.

After all, Young Master An Cheng couldn't leave Qin Yan like this behind.

"You can go to sleep, I won't leave."

His tone was indifferent, and he really felt that Qin Yan's behavior was very annoying to him.

But she didn't dare to show it, for fear that Qin Yan would not be able to think about it anymore.

Qin Yan shook her head, her hands were wrapped with thick gauze. Even so, blood still seeped out. She was so afraid of pain that she would do such a thing to her. It was really because she loved An Chengshao too much.

.

She cried and made a fuss at Master An Cheng's place that day, and she learned to be free and easy, but in the end she was unwilling to give in. She always felt that Master An Cheng should be hers.

If she is a woman from an innocent family, she will lose if she loses. Although she cannot afford to lose, it is not so hard to think about.

But that person was a widow, and the more she thought about it, the less worthy she became, not only for An Chengshao, but also for herself.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that if she didn't do something, An Chengshao would not have her in his heart, and she would be completely outclassed by Xu Xiuyi.

So, she thought of cutting her wrists.

She thought that even if he really died, An Chengshao would never feel better for the rest of his life. He must be full of guilt for her. Based on her understanding of An Chengshao, with such guilt, there was no way he could live happily with Xu Xiuyi.

of.

She will be like a ghost and a shadow, lingering between them all their lives.

If she was lucky enough not to die, that would be even better. She would make An Cheng less jealous and let him know what she would do if he dared to fall in love with another woman.

Now, her method was initially effective. She took his hand and lay on his lap, sleeping next to him, but he didn't reject her.

She thought he had probably tasted how powerful she was, and he would not dare to hurt her heart casually in the future.

Thinking of this, she felt proud, feeling that the blood was not in vain.

"Master Cheng, I want to go back to the outside world. Let's go back together. The climate here is not good and I can't get used to it. My father also said that he has some business matters at home and wants to ask for your help."

She knew that her father was An Chengshao's benefactor. An Chengshao respected her father as much as his biological father. If her father needed it, An Chengshao would definitely rush to help without hesitation.

An Chengshao was silent for a while.

Qin Yan raised her head from his lap and looked at An Chengshao pitifully with tears in her eyes: "I miss home."

An Chengshao was silent again for a while, and then Shaoqing nodded: "Okay, I'll take you back after you recover a little bit from your injuries."

Qin Yan had a happy look on her face. As long as she went back, she would have a way to prevent An Chengshao from going to the capital again.

She didn't understand what Young Master An Cheng was doing in the capital. Outside the customs, Young Master An Cheng was already a powerful figure. Even people in the capital knew that there was Mr. An outside the customs.

To shock the emperor, several great kings from other countries took the initiative to befriend An Ye, and the emperors in the capital were all very afraid of An Ye.

Such a man of great influence, but he was doing nothing in the capital and didn't know what to do. He hung out with the fifth prince all day long. She knew that Cheng Shao was not Duanxiu, but others thought Cheng Shao was the fifth prince's new favorite. She heard that

It's so uncomfortable even when I'm wearing it.

She wanted to go back to the outside of Guan with An Chengshao. The sky was high, the clouds were light, the wind was light, and the water was blue. They were riding horses and horses galloping under the blue sky and white clouds as before, and the grass was blown by the wind and cattle and sheep were seen. Everything was so relaxed and happy, better than in the capital.

Here, I feel suffocated everywhere.

Naturally, her biggest purpose in taking An Chengshao away first was to reason with Xu Xiuyi.

When she heard that An Chengshao was willing to go back, she was very happy in her heart. After all, she was more important than Xu Xiuyi. Xu Xiuyi had only known Chengshao for a few months, and her relationship with Chengshao was beyond comparison.

Is it comparable to the monthly one?

"Well, you keep your word."

"kindness."

An Chengshao responded extremely coldly, with no emotion in his tone.

That's it, as long as he is willing to go back, Qin Yan will feel that he has her in his heart, and she will be happy.

For three days, Xu Xiuyi kept the door open for An Chengshao every night, but he never came again.
