Chapter 755 [Under the Brocade 51]
Before this, the clever Youyou had also quietly tested Sanshou, but after a series of clever observations and tests, she was sure that this seemingly ordinary man actually had no martial arts skills at all.
At the same time, Xie Xiao, Uncle Gai, and Lin Ling galloped all the way and finally arrived at Danqing Pavilion. On the other side, Lu Yi, Youyou, and Jin Xia got together. After careful consideration and detailed discussion, they all agreed that Er Pang's strange disappearance was very likely to be inextricably linked to the precious elixir tributed by Danqing Pavilion. After all, various incredible events have occurred one after another in Danqing Pavilion during this period of time. It is really hard for people not to have many associations in such a situation.
Immediately afterwards, Youyou and Lu Yi decided to go together to check the mysterious notebook of Danqing Pavilion, trying to find some key clues to solve the mystery.
However, at this moment, Xie Xiao followed Jin Xia closely like a tail that could not be shaken off, and kept muttering in his mouth, hoping that Jin Xia would change her mind and agree to stay with him forever.
Facing Xie Xiao's persistent entanglement, Jin Xia felt extremely annoyed and distressed. She stopped, turned around and said to Xie Xiao with a serious face: "How I choose my love life is my personal freedom, and it has nothing to do with you! The person who is really closely related to you should be Shangguan Xi! Back then, you walked away without any scruples, leaving Shangguan Xi alone to bear those overwhelming rumors. Until now, you have never given Shangguan Xi a clear explanation."
After saying this, Jin Xia turned around and left without looking back. Looking at Jin Xia's back as she walked away, Xie Xiao suddenly realized that he really owed Shangguan Xi too much...
Shangguan Xi took the letter from Xie Xiao with great anticipation. Her beautiful face was filled with a happy smile, and she couldn't wait to know the contents of the letter. However, when she carefully opened the envelope, what she saw was a letter of withdrawal of engagement that broke her heart.
Shangguan Xi stared at the paper in her hand with eyes wide open, looking at it in disbelief, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment. She had never thought that this terrible day would come so quickly and fall upon her without any warning. An indescribable sadness surged in her heart, tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.
At this time, Yang Yue came to look for Shangguan Xi happily. He had no idea what happened. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the letter of divorce in Shangguan Xi's hand. Shangguan Xi turned around in panic and tried to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes with her sleeve.
Night fell quietly, and the moonlight sprinkled on Shangguan Xi's lonely figure. She came to the lake alone and tried hard to salvage the precious daughter's red wine that Yang Yue had sunk to the bottom of the lake. Looking at the jar of wine, Shangguan Xi's heart was full of pain. Now that she could not marry her beloved Xie Xiao as she wished, this jar of daughter's red wine, which symbolized a good marriage, had lost its meaning of existence for her.
Yang Yue followed Shangguan Xi silently to the lake. Seeing how persistent she was in this relationship, he couldn't help but feel sad. He really didn't understand why Shangguan Xi was so obsessed with Xie Xiao and was unwilling to give other men a chance.
Shangguan Xi had no time to care about other people's thoughts at this moment. She just kept raising her glass and drinking wine in big gulps. Every sip brought endless bitterness. In the eyes of outsiders, Shangguan Xi was in charge of the affairs of Wu'an Gang alone, which seemed to be full of ambition. But who could really understand that everything she did was just to hope to spend her life with Xie Xiao.
Yang Yue stepped forward and snatched the wine glass from Shangguan Xi's hand, saying, "Stop torturing yourself like this!" However, Shangguan Xi pushed his hand away and continued to drink by herself. Seeing this, Yang Yue gritted his teeth and decided to sacrifice his life to accompany Shangguan Xi, and drank the whole jar of daughter red wine together.
In Danqing Pavilion, sunlight shone through the window onto the chessboard. Lu Yi and Lan Qingxuan were concentrating on playing chess. The two of them were going back and forth, neither giving in. The atmosphere seemed particularly peaceful and focused. However, in this silence, Xiao Xin's extremely terrified scream suddenly came, instantly breaking the peace.
Lu Yi and Lan Qingxuan's hearts tightened, and they quickly stood up and ran towards the direction where the sound came from. When the others heard the scream, they followed closely and rushed into Xiaoxin's room. The moment they stepped into the room, the scene in front of them shocked everyone - Xiaoxin was brutally murdered!
Xiao Xin was seen lying quietly in a pool of blood, his face twisted, his eyes wide open, as if he had seen an extremely horrific scene at the last moment of his life. Lan Qingxuan's emotions instantly went out of control when he saw this scene. His legs softened, and he fell to his knees with a plop. He grabbed the ground tightly with both hands and burst into tears in grief: "He is just a child! How could the murderer be so cruel? How could he do such a vicious thing!" His cry was heartbreaking and heartbreaking.
Youyou, Lu Yi and others were also heartbroken. They stared at Xiaoxin's body blankly, their eyes gradually moistened. Especially Yuan Jinxia, she quickly walked to Lan Qingxuan's side, squatted down and comforted him softly. But as she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears, sliding down her cheeks.
At the same time, in another corner, Shangguan Xi and Yang Yue were both drunk. Shangguan Xi's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were blurred. She asked Yang Yue in a slightly drunken tone whether he loved her. Yang Yue was also dizzy at the moment, but facing the question from his sweetheart, he nodded without hesitation and swore to Shangguan Xi that he would never leave her.
Perhaps because of the alcohol, Shangguan Xi's steps began to become unsteady, and she eventually fell to the ground accidentally. Yang Yue saw this and hurriedly reached out to support her, but he also fell down due to the unstable center of gravity. Just like that, the two of them fell heavily together, looking at each other. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything around them seemed to no longer matter. Yang Yue took a deep breath, mustered up all his courage, and slowly pulled Shangguan Xi's hand...
The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto Yang Yue's face. He slowly woke up, rubbed his still swollen head, and recalled what happened last night. After a while, he got out of bed, hurried to Shangguan Xi, and said seriously: "Xi'er, when I return to Beijing, I will ask my father to send a letter of marriage to marry you."
However, Shangguan Xi shook her head slightly after hearing this, and said softly, "No need, Yang Yue. What we said last night was just drunken nonsense, how can you take it seriously?"
However, Yang Yue remained extremely clear-headed in his heart. He clearly remembered that last night, when the night enveloped the earth and the stars twinkled in the sky, he had solemnly made an eternal vow in front of Shangguan Xi - never leaving her. This vow was like a bright star, deeply embedded in his heart, and became his unswerving belief.
Even though Shangguan Xi said that she didn't need Yang Yue to be responsible for her, Yang Yue knew that he couldn't do that. Because no matter whether Shangguan Xi loved him or not, he had made up his mind not to leave her. This persistence and determination was like a towering mountain, and no matter how the wind and rain attacked, it would never waver.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Although Yang Yue held Shangguan Xi's hand tightly, trying to convey his deep and sincere emotions, Shangguan Xi finally pulled her hand out of Yang Yue's warm palm. As the slender and soft hand slowly left, Yang Yue was left with only a resolute and heartbreaking back. Looking at the figure that gradually went away and disappeared, Yang Yue felt that his whole world was collapsing in an instant.
At the same time, in Danqing Pavilion, Lan Qingxuan built a small grave for Xiaoxin with a heavy and sad heart. At the beginning, he was full of joy to take Xiaoxin with him, and he only wanted to give this child the best love and care. He never expected that fate would be so cruel and ruthless, and let Xiaoxin meet the evil hands of the villain. Whenever Lan Qingxuan thought of this, his heart was torn and he was full of resentment. He secretly vowed to find the real murderer and seek justice for Xiaoxin to comfort his soul in heaven.
