Ch 245: Doubt From Xia Yuhang

There was a person sitting there, in a green-robed robe, which, though not gorgeous, had a few more points of gentle refinement.

Originally, this place was where Xia Yuhang would meet her, but later it was slowly changed to Ning Ziyan’s courtyard, so except for the first year, one could see the figure of Xia Yuhang here. In the following two years, only Ning Ziying would occasionally come to read books and relax.

Once upon a time, that person was waiting here so gently and refined, like jade. Seeing herself, they looked up and smiled, just like in the past.

“Why don’t you come and sit down?” That was a sentence with unclear meaning. If these words were said to Ning Xueyan , they were quite unfamiliar and abrupt, but if they were said to Ning Ziying in her previous life, it was a kind of familiar and unrestrained gentleness.

Before her eyes, it was as if the scene of the previous life was reflected. In the previous life, it was the same scene, the same person, with gentle laughter, handsome and handsome facial features, and deep affection flowing in the eyes, and with this gentleness, there was more softness.

It let people involuntarily give rise to a feeling of trust.

But what was the result? In the end, she was watched as she was drowned in the lotus pond.

She gave him everything, obeyed him in every way, and thought that he also wholeheartedly wanted to be with her for a lifetime, but she didn’t expect that he was not only with Chen Hexiang outside, but also flirted with Ning Ziyan in the mansion, conceiving before marriage, and finally watched herself die at the hands of Madam Ling and her daughter.

In the previous life, the reason she completely believed him was only because she really thought he had feelings for her, but what about now…

Looking back, she just felt ridiculous, really ridiculous. Who did he think she was? Was she still that silly, Ning Ziying who only had him in her heart? She even dared to say such things to her face.

The blood all over her body rushed into her mind, all the gentleness in her memory turned into the ferocity of having designs on her, and hypocrisy. Thinking of her helpless death in the lotus pond, and thinking of her bloodthirstiness, her heart ached as if a big hole had been torn, and then the big hole all turned into viciousness.

“Greetings, Older Sister’s Husband. I don’t know who Older Sister’s Husband is waiting for here!” Ning Xueyan walked over as if nothing had happened, and calmly stood in front of Xia Yuhang , raised her ink jade eyes, where there was only a cold and clear light.

“I’m not waiting for anyone, I’m just reminiscing about an old friend.” Xia Yuhang looked at Ning Xueyan with scrutiny, and after a long time, he let out a long breath, as if he was laughing at himself, then picked up the teapot on the stone table, poured a cup into another empty cup in front of him, and said gently, “Fifth Sister, please!”

“The old friend Older Sister’s Husband mentioned, could it be Older Sister? But since Older Sister’s Husband misses Older Sister, why don’t you come and sit with Older Sister?” Ning Xueyan seemed to have thought of something, a slight smile appeared on her face, and she sat down in front of the stone bench generously, quite curiously.

Her long eyelashes flickered, and no one saw the mockery in her eyes.

An old friend? What an interesting address. They used to be the closest fiancé and fiancée, but now they could only be addressed as old friends, or she should thank Xia Yuhang , at least he didn’t think she was a bitch, at least he would still remember and mourn her, this old friend!

“The old friend is not referring to your Older Sister, Fifth Sister, do you still remember Ning Ziying from Cloud Shadow Courtyard?” Xia Yuhang’s eyes lifted, and suddenly locked tightly on Ning Xueyan , his face showed a few points of excitement. If it wasn’t for those who were familiar with Xia Yuhang , they would not be able to tell how much change there was in Xia Yuhang’s expression at this moment.

Such an expression, such an expression, and even a trace of gentleness in his eyes, falling into the eyes of the previous Ning Ziying , might have been a performance of affection for her, but now falling into the eyes of Ning Xueyan after rebirth, it was full of ridicule. It was really like it, performing as if it was real.

Xia Yuhang was always so hypocritical and selfish, and when it didn’t involve his benefits, he always looked affectionate.

“Sister Ziying from Cloud Shadow Courtyard, I’ve heard of her, but I haven’t seen her. I heard that Sister Ziying died unjustly, and it seemed that she was killed by someone. Could it be that Older Sister’s Husband knows the truth?” Ning Xueyan smiled faintly, her words didn’t hesitate at all, as if she was really curious, she raised her deep, beautiful eyes, a wisp of aloof coldness in her eyes, and expressed her surprise at just the right time.

Not a point more, not a point less!

While speaking, her fingers hooked on the cup handle, gently stroking it back and forth.

This was being talked about in the mansion, but not many people were talking about it, and now almost no one was talking about it, after all, she was just an orphan girl who was living there, the masters in the mansion didn’t say anything, and there was no aggrieved party, who would care about such a small matter, it had long been suppressed by Madam Ling within the smallest scope.

Xia Yuhang’s gaze slid down from Ning Xueyan’s face, from which she couldn’t see any emotions, and landed on her fingers. His eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly reached out, almost uncontrollably wanting to grab Ning Xueyan’s hand, and he said softly, hesitantly, “Ying’er!”

Such an action, when done, made people feel that even their hearts were soft. Besides Ning Ziying , who else would have such a habitual action.

“Older Sister’s Husband, I am Ning Xueyan .” Ning Xueyan frowned, looked up, her eyes cold and ruthless, and stared at Xia Yuhang like this, with a deep and profound breath, she stared straight into Xia Yuhang’s eyes. At that moment, Xia Yuhang almost felt something called hatred, grimly transmitted from the young girl’s ink jade eyes.

Her hand stopped, and after looking closely, she realized that it was just a pair of ink jade eyes.

His hand was outstretched, but it didn’t touch Ning Xueyan’s hand, and finally fell down powerlessly. A gust of wind blew from somewhere, rolling up the clothes of the two people, rustling.

“Fifth Sister, I’m sorry, I saw the wrong person, I thought it was Ying’er.”

“Older Sister’s Husband is very familiar with Sister Ziying?” Knowing just now that Xia Yuhang really wanted to reach out and grab her, Ning Xueyan wrinkled her eyebrows in disgust, leaned back, and asked as if she didn’t care, in the previous life’s death, there were too many questions, a thousand threads and ten thousand ends, she couldn’t find a knot to untie for a while, Xia Yuhang as a crucial link among them, it couldn’t be said that she really would have unexpected gains.

“Ying’er is very well.” Xia Yuhang suddenly lowered his head, his expression was very decadent, Ning Xueyan had never found such decadence and unconcealable gloom on Xia Yuhang , who had always been very self-controlled, but everything had changed, it had all changed long ago, at the time of the passing of life!

“Older Sister’s Husband is really strange, why do you think Sister Ziying is very well! Although I also think so, but my position is different from that of Older Sister’s Husband. Older Sister’s Husband has already married Older Sister, but now he is still thinking about another woman who is said to be unclear and not right.”

Ning Xueyan’s face sank, and she sneered, specifically emphasizing the words “unclear and not right”, and her voice was also clear and bright, she didn’t know what Xia Yuhang meant by waiting for herself here, wanting to reminisce about her past life with herself? What a ridiculous behavior, if it wasn’t for herself who clearly saw Xia Yuhang was also present at the time.

Or even she would be moved by his affection, thinking that he was that affectionate and helpless person.

She felt that as long as she had a trace of softness, there would be endless trouble in the future.

“She is not unclear and not right.” The veins on Xia Yuhang’s forehead bulged, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice with a tone of forbearance.

“Oh, could it be that Older Sister’s Husband also thinks that the rumors are true, and that someone deliberately harmed Sister Ziying? Then, according to Older Sister’s Husband’s meaning, who harmed Sister Ziying, was it Older Sister?”

Ning Xueyan curved her lips, and her smile turned into mockery, caustic and uncompromising.

“You…” Xia Yuhang , who had always been eloquent, was forced to be speechless for a moment, only feeling that he had a thousand words to say, but when the words came to his lips, he found that he couldn’t say them no matter what, his hands had already clenched into fists tightly in his sleeves, and after a while, he regained his composure in Ning Xueyan’s mocking gaze.

“I’m sorry, Fifth Sister, I was a little out of composure, I was just reminiscing about an old friend.” Xia Yuhang’s face showed a faint sadness.

This sadness was not the natural outburst before the fury just now, but more of a pretense. What did Xia Yuhang plan to get from her again, specially leading herself here, and also letting Nurse Qin cooperate to act in such a play, of course, it was not just for her to watch.

She put down the teacup in her hand, stood up, and with a perfect bearing, she retreated, and gave Xia Yuhang a blessing: “Older Sister’s Husband, Grandmother is still waiting for me there, so I won’t accompany Older Sister’s Husband to talk. When I see Older Sister later, I’ll have Older Sister come over.”

No matter what Xia Yuhang’s goal was, she should respond to all changes with no changes. Having broken away from Ning Ziying’s devotion, she could now see very clearly that Xia Yuhang , whose face was calm and revealed sadness, had long been wearing a mask on his face.

“No need, I’ll go with you now.” Xia Yuhang seemed to have sorted out his thoughts, stood up and smiled and let the boy servant standing aside put away the tea set. He put his hands behind his back and smiled at Ning Xueyan , everything just now seemed to be an illusion, he was still the elegant Young Master Xia.

And of course, she was no longer the young girl who was devoted and wrongfully died in the lotus pond.

Seeing each other again after rebirth, some people might still be at the starting point, while others had already missed the space-time, and left the starting point far away.

Laughter never stopped in Old Madam’s Xiangfu Garden. Ning Qingshan leaned gently behind Old Madam, and told Old Madam jokes, on the other side, Ning Ziyan accompanied with a smiling face. Sitting on both sides were the gentle and refined Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince, who had a face full of joy, the room was filled with people chatting and laughing, it was also lively.

The door curtain was lifted, and Ning Xueyan and Xia Yuhang walked in, Ning Xueyan in front, Xia Yuhang behind.

If it was the status of a Older Sister’s Husband and an Older Sister’s Younger Sister, Xia Yuhang should be in front, and Ning Xueyan behind, but if it was as host and guest, then Ning Xueyan could also be in front. No one noticed this interesting similarity, which actually involved another essence, but the two parties involved themselves didn’t know.

“How did Fifth Miss come here with Yuhang?” Fourth Prince Ao Mingwan had waited for a while, specially came here today, of course, also for the beauty, at this time, seeing the beauty was late, but she came in with Xia Yuhang , he asked in surprise.

“I happened to meet Fifth Miss outside, so we came together.” Xia Yuhang had a gentle smile on his face. After greeting the Old Madam, he answered with a smile. He had said earlier that he was feeling depressed and went outside to take a walk, and then came out of Xiangfu Garden.
