Lin Wei Xi went home in the dark. She just pushed open the courtyard door, and a voice suddenly sounded in the dark courtyard: "Where have you been?"
Lin Wei Xi was taken aback. She stroked her heart, calmed her mind, and saw the person who had spoken. She rolled her eyes secretly, not wanting to say anything, walked towards her room.
Li Da saw that Lin Wei Xi regarded him as air, his felt really unhappy in his heart. He stepped forward and blocked Lin Wei Xi, his voice couldn't help but increased: "I want to ask you something!"
Lin Wei Xi frowned and tried to get around, but after she took a few steps Li Da followed and kept blocking her. After doing this three or four times, the distance between Li Da and Lin Wei Xi was getting closer and closer. He gradually thought it was interesting, but Lin Wei Xi was annoyed.
Lin Wei Xi lowered her face and said coldly: "Get out of the way."
It was rare for Li Da to be so close to Lin Wei Xi. He also felt resentful when he saw Lin Wei Xi's face sinking. But looking at Lin Wei Xi's face, which man would be angry at such face, his tone couldn't help but soften: "I'm worried about you! You are an unmarried girl, to go outside alone in such a dark night, what does it look like? I have been waiting for you for a long time, and you only coming back now. Do you think this is right? Even if you want to go out to relax, you should talk to me or my mother, and I will accompany you to go out."
Lin Wei Xi gave a short laugh, full of icy meaning: "No need, I'm going back." She walked forward but was blocked by Li Da's two quick steps again. Lin Wei Xi tried two more times, all of which he firmly blocked. Lin Wei Xi frowned, gently raised one side of her eyebrow to look at Li Da: "What do you want?"
A beauty was a beauty, even with such a cold frown the face was still good looking, it's amazing. Li Da smiled and said, "Cousin, what do I want, don't you understand? We are cousins of the same age. Since the ancient time it is the best way to marry a spouse. I know that uncle is gone and you must feel sad, but don't worry, I will take care of you in place of uncle in the future."
Lin Wei Xi smiled lightly, when she smiled her eyes were slightly bent, which was more dazzling than the stars in the sky. Li Da looked a little silly. But in the next moment, the beauty stopped smiling, and her mouth spitted out a sharp ice thorn: "By taking care of me, you mean taking care of the silver from the field left by my father, right?"
Li Da's face shrank as he was embarrassed: "Cousin, what are you talking about?"
"Why, big man, dare to do it but not dare to admit it? Didn't you and your mother have a lot ghost idea in your stomach? Do you really think yourself as a good person, thinking that you are doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, taking in a lonely little cousin? Hurry up and take back your hypocrisy. Without you and your mother, I can definitely live better."
After Lin Wei Xi finished she stared at Li Da coldly, and walked around him without looking back. This time Li Da did not come to stop her. He stood by himself for a while, and when Lin Wei Xi was about to enter the door, he suddenly said to her: "Cousin, my mother has that kind of temperament, and I can't help it. I know all these years she has been indifference to you and let you be wronged. Don't worry. I'll go and tell her so that you will never be wronged again. I really want to marry you. Long before my uncle's reward come, I told my mother I'm going to marry you as my wife."
"So?" Lin Wei Xi did not look back, still looking cold, "She said that she disagreed, so you didn't say anything. Moreover, if it wasn't for my dad conferred as Marquis Zhongyang, you won't say that you won't wronged me in the future. It's ridiculous, do you still feel like an infatuated person and can't extricate yourself? Oh, in fact, you just refuse to admit it, you are a coward who has no opinion of your own and dare not defy your mother."
After finished speaking, Lin Wei Xi didn't bother to look at Li Da's expression and pushed open the door and walked in. But as she reached the doorstep, she heard Li Da say: "Cousin, you are so mean. If it weren't for your good-looking face, with your temper, no man would want to marry you."
Lin Wei Xi's anger rushed directly to the top of her head. Li Da and Aunt Lin were the kind of people who believe 'if a bride were not meant to marry into family, fate would not bring her to the door', didn't matter if their ability was nothing to speak of, they always look down on women. Did they think women should gently and gracefully flatter them? Did Li Da and Aunt Lin thought they were imperial family?
Lin Wei Xi felt suffocated. The failed marriage in her previous life was a thorn in her heart. In this life, the most taboo thing for her was if people said that she cannot get married or her husband would not like her. Whoever touched this reverse scale would die.
Lin Wei Xi turned around and even smiled at Li Da. Her looks was outrageously beautiful resembling a fairy, but the words that followed were like a knife: "What if no man wants to marry me? My father was conferred Marquis Zhongyang by the court, there's thousands hectares of fertile land to my own name. Even if there is no man, just by relying on the shelter left by my father I can live a thousand times better than you in this life."
Li Da was always held in the cup of Aunt Lin's hands since he was a child, to hear this kind of words he was so angry that his chest moved up and down. He pointed his finger at Lin Wei Xi: "You..."
Lin Wei Xi raised her eyebrows slightly: "What are you doing, put your hand down, who allowed you to point your finger at me?"
When Lin Wei Xi was still Gao Xi in her previous life, because of her temper, she was told off many times by Duke Yangguo Shizi Madam. Shizi Madam often said that she was the Grand Princess's daughter, had always been pampered since young, but she did not develop Lin Wei Xi's temperament that was so unreasonable and could scold people till they cry. Grand Princess Shou Kang laughed when she heard this, people always looked at their own children fondly. Grand Princess said that Sister Xi was the granddaughter of a duke and the granddaughter of Grand Princess, so what if her temper a little bit big? People made mistake, they should be scolded by her.
In the past, Lin Wei Xi married to Yan Wang Mansion and became Shizi Consort. A daughter-in-law of an imperial household always had to be a little gentler. She did not dare to be presumptuous in Yan Wang Mansion, so she reprimanded the servants and took care of the family business with much restraint. Even so, the old people in the mansion still bear grudges, and spread it to Gu Cheng Yao's ears, he naturally became disgusted.
After Lin Wei Xi was reborn, she became negative for a long time. She also wondered if it was really because of her bad temper that she broke a good hand, fell into depression, and in the end died. Perhaps, Gao Ran's personality was really the type that men likes.
Lin Wei Xi was negative for a month and then get over it, anyway she didn't plan to marry again in her life. A rebirth was a godsend, she didn't need to wronged herself for others' opinions. She had such an unpleasant character, she realized the only thing she could do was to stop marrying, not to harm another family. As for the rest of her life, let her live as she pleases.
However, Lin Wei Xi overlooked something. In the past, people she admonished were so embarrassed they did not dare to raise their heads. Most of it because of her identity. Now she was without the protection of Duke Yingguo Mansion, Grand Princess Princess Shoukang, and even Yan Wang Mansion. Could not keep the one that were scolded from getting back on their mouths, and it's easy for angry people to make some extreme actions.
Li Da was like that. Lin Wei Xi's every words was like a sharp knife inserted into his heart, but he couldn't return even one word. Li Da was anxious and rushed towards Lin Wei Xi. Wanted to let Lin Wei Xi experienced for herself whether she want a man or not.
Lin Wei Xi was startled when she saw Li Da's momentum, she reflexively looked at the main room and found that the lights in the main room had been turned off, showing a deliberate silence. Lin Wei Xi understood that this family had long planned to make 'the overlord use the bow' (r^pe).
Lin Wei Xi was a little frightened, her body was not very healthy, walked two steps too quickly and she would cough. How could she be able to match the strength of a young man like Li Da. She knew that she couldn't stay in the house, otherwise even if she cry no one would help. She didn't know what she picked up on her hand, without looking immediately threw it at Li Da's face. Li Da was attacked by the oncoming bread crumbs and couldn't help but stop and rub his eyes. Lin Wei Xi took the opportunity to desperately run and rushed towards the courtyard door. Li Da couldn't see things clearly with his eyes, it gave Lin Wei Xi opportunity to run past him. When his eyes finally felt better, Li Da grinned and chased after Lin Wei Xi.
Lin Wei Xi just opened the door latch and found that Li Da had already caught up. She panicked and slammed the door on Li Da's face, and stumbled outside.
But what strength Lin Wei Xi's small body could have, she was quickly chased by Li Da. He hold Lin Wei Xi with one hand, Lin Wei Xi was kicking and hitting, but she couldn't break free at all. The people in this village were all surnamed Li, and the villagers were fierce and hated outsiders. Even if they could hear the unusual sound of Lin Wei Xi here, they would not came out to help her. Lin Wei Xi hated her lack of strength. Seeing that she was about to be dragged back to Aunt Lin's house, Lin Wei Xi suddenly thought that she was once a lady from the Duke Mansion. Those big families attached to security the most, and they arranged people to guard the courtyard's wall day and night. The big families in peaceful era were like this, what about Yan Wang?
Lin Wei Xi couldn't help but took a gamble. She didn't care about the demeanor of a lady for many years, and shouted: "Your Highness, you promised to put me in a good place, will you let me be bullied? Your high..."
Before Lin Wei Xi finished shouting, she felt a strong wind grazed the back of her neck, and then the arm that hold her loosened. Li Da was knocked unconscious.
Lin Wei Xi was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew her hand and wiped the place that Li Da had touched. The person who shot was silent like an iron tower with a black hole behind him. If he hadn't just saved Lin Wei Xi, she would have been scared to death.
"Thank you..." Lin Wei Xi looked at the person in front of her and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She tried her best to show a gentle and harmless smile, totally different from the person from a moment ago. "What is this hero called?"
"Zhou Mao Cheng." The bear-like man looked at Lin Wei Xi very strangely. He endured and endured it, but he couldn't hold back, "You were calling our Wangye?"
"Yes." Lin Wei Xi smiled gently and tried her best to show her benefactor her quiet side, "Zhou Enren, can you send me to Yan Wang? You have seen this place... I probably can't live here anymore."
Zhou Mao Cheng's eyes on Lin Wei Xi simply couldn't be described with words. Lin Wei Xi was caught by such look, her smile was stiff. What did it mean? She just cursed people like a shrew and left a bad impression?
Zhou Mao Cheng was arranged by Yan Wang to guard Lin Yong's daughter. He felt very strange when he received this task. Why would Wangye paid attention to a little girl? Then he thought that Lin Yong and they were comrades-in-arms, iron-like brothers, and his daughter was also Zhou Mao Cheng's daughter, so it was reasonable to guard the little girl all night. Martial artist had sharp eyes and ears, and when Zhou Mao Cheng squatted outside listening to Lin Wei Xi's scolding, he felt that Lin Yong's description of his daughter was not stable, this father's beautification was too serious. But he had to say listening to this little girl cursing was pretty good.
Later when Li Da became restless, Zhou Mao Cheng cursed in his heart, and immediately came to rescue Lin Wei Xi. However, he did not expect that he heard such unexpected words from Lin Wei Xi's mouth a moment later.
Who did Lin Wei Xi call? Yan Wang?
Zhou Mao Cheng's expression was dark like a bear, but the drama in his heart played one after another. Lin Wei Xi felt this army man glanced at her over and over, her heart couldn't help beating like a drum, did she say something wrong?
In the village head's house, Gu Hui Yan was still checking the letters from the capital under the light, he couldn't leave the things in the army and capital to others for the moment. Besides, he might not be able to catch up with the big troops as planned tomorrow. These things must be arranged properly.
After an unknown period of time, the door was knocked three times. This was the rule in the army. Gu Hui Yan didn't lift his head and said, "Come in."
Zhou Mao Cheng entered the door, and said with a taut face: "Wangye, the daughter of Lin Yong's family wants to see you."
Gu Hui Yan paused before removing the image of Lin Wei Xi hooking the bait from Lin Yong's daughter, Gu Hui Yan thought of the little girl and couldn't help but pressed his eyebrows: "What's wrong with her?"
"She said that she will go with you tomorrow, and she won't return today. She wants to stay with you."
Zhou Mao Cheng's face was tense. But his eyes sneaking up on Gu Hui Yan's face. He watched as Wangye, who had always seems inhumane, pressed his eyebrows and sighed lightly: "I said I won't leave her... Nevermind, just let her be at ease, let her stay. Mingda, you packed my room and let Lin Wei Xi live in it. Arrange a few more people to patrol the house at night, and replace them more frequently."
Gu Hui Yan stopped after speaking and then added: "You go to Lijia village head and ask for few a new bedding, add to my credit and pay them together tomorrow." After finished speaking, Gu Hui Yan himself was a little bit unsure: "What else do I need to raise this kind of little girl? Do I have to buy dresses and eyebrow pomade too?"
This question could be difficult for men. They could speak well about the troops and war, but Lin Wei Xi was a delicate little girl...
Gu Hui Yan looked at the expression of people in the room and knew that he couldn't count on them. He tried to recall the layout of Yan Wang Mansion, and said: "Let the village head's wife arrange it. Now there are many things that won't be available for a while, we will talk about it when we go to the county town tomorrow."
After Gu Hui Yan gave his orders, he found that Zhou Mao Cheng had been stuck in place, did not move. Gu Hui Yan moved his eyebrows lightly, and his voice neither too fast nor too slow, seemed like just an ordinary question: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Mao Cheng woke up like from a dream, immediately stood up straight to give Gu Hui Yan a military salute, and stepped back orderly: "This subordinate obeys."
Lin Wei Xi waited outside the courtyard for a while, then she was led to a spacious room by the village head's wife. Although she felt that the eyes of the people around her were a little strange when she entered the house, she did not take it to heart. She silently lamented that the village head's family was really rich, even the room provided for her at the last minute was so spacious and warm.
Lin Wei Xi said to Zhou Mao Cheng on the road that there was no need to tell Yan Wang about what happened with Li Da. Lin Wei Xi didn't care about her reputation for this kind of thing. She just felt that Yan Wang was her childhood idol, and she should not tell Yan Wang about her unsightly personal affairs.
Lin Wei Xi was sitting on the soft bedding. Thinking back to today matters, she finally gave birth to a sense of realism. At this moment, she felt a little afraid of what had happened just now. Lin Wei Xi fell backward onto the bed, her nose filled with the unique smell of sunlight after the bedding was sun-dried. She stared at the top of the bed for a while, and suddenly burst out a big smile.
The nightmare-like life was finally over. Later, whether Aunt Lin's family was dead or alive, Lin Wei Xi didn't want to care anymore. Tomorrow she would get up early and kept watch on Yan Wang, anyway, she would rely on Yan Wang to take her away. After finding a quiet and simple town, Yan Wang would no longer had to be entangled with her. In the future, when Lin Wei Xi copied the scriptures for Lin Yong and her mother to pray for blessings, she would definitely also burn long life incense for Yan Wang. His son made her so miserable. Lin Wei Xi just asked Yan Wang this much, it's not excessive right?
Lin Wei Xi kept thinking about her thoughts for a while, and fell asleep like that. This was a rare peace of mind since her rebirth. Lin Wei Xi slept until dawn. When she opened her eyes and saw the dazzling sunshine outside, Lin Wei Xi felt dull for a moment and woke up abruptly.
Oops! Lin Wei Xi hurriedly tidy up her hair, put on her clothes, and ran. As soon as she opened the door, she was stunned when she saw the man in the yard.
Gu Hui Yan turned his head when he heard the voice. The sun shone on him, as if plated by a gold rim: "Awake?"
Lin Wei Xi looked at him blankly for a moment, and closed the door silently.
Gu Hui Yan turned his head and continued to comb Zhao Xue's mane, but there was a slight smile on his lips. Zhou Mao Cheng couldn't figure it out when he saw this: "What's the matter with the Lin family girl? Why did she go back?"
Gu Hui Yan chuckled and shook his head without saying a word.
After a while, Lin Wei Xi pushed the door open again. This time, her cheeks were fair and her hair was neat. Although she did not applied powder, her facial features were almost as dazzling as sunshine. Gu Hui Yan found a carriage for her unknowing from where. Lin Wei Xi raised her chin slightly and boarded the carriage elegantly. After Gu Hui Yan saw it, a thread of smiles appeared in his immovable eyes. Seeing that everyone was ready, he took the lead on Zhao Xue, his voice was clear and majestic: "Leave."
"Yes." The response was loud and full of masculinity, identical like came from one person, the voice rang in the sky and followed by uniform sound of mounting horses. Zhou Mao Cheng was still wondering until he sat down on his horse Shangdu, what was Wangye laughing at? Why didn't he see what was funny?
