Chapter 208 Wake up, young master!
Dicui Pavilion is a small pavilion built in the huge courtyard of the Xie family for the convenience of rest and sightseeing.
There are windows on all four sides, with two floors in total, and a spiral staircase connecting the upper and lower floors.
Xie Jingran quickly went up to the second floor.
Behind the green gauze curtain, Fang Zhizheng was hugging Xie Jingqi and biting him hard.
Xie Jingqi's clothes were disheveled, revealing half of his shoulders, and Fang Zhixiu's dirty hand reached into his collar.
When Xie Jingran kicked the door, the two of them shuddered in fear.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Jingran came up. Xie Jingqi was hurriedly tidying up his clothes and hair. Fang Zhixiu also quickly moved his mouth, pulled out his hand, and sat up straight with a serious face.
When they saw that it was Xie Jingran who came up, they felt nervous but also relieved.
As long as it’s not someone else.
"You! You!" Xie Jingran only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and his whole body seemed to be petrified, with his mind going blank.
The voice he heard just now sounded very much like his half-brother Xie Jingqi and that Fang Zhixiu.
But I think it’s unlikely.
How could these two people know each other?
Maybe it was just a coincidence, just two servants with similar voices.
Unexpectedly, reality shattered Xie Jingran's lucky mentality. The two people hiding upstairs to have a secret meeting were Xie Jingqi and Fang Zhixiu!
Xie Jingran only felt that his vision was getting darker.
How did they get together?
They actually hooked up with each other!
Xie Jingran suddenly remembered that he had heard some friends say in private in the past that when discussing marriage, one must be wary of various half-brothers in the family, and even the biological fathers of the half-brothers.
There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. In order to get a good marriage, many illegitimate sons and daughters will try every means to calculate the marriage of their legitimate sisters and brothers.
A good marriage can easily arouse envy, and once people are jealous, they can do anything terrible.
In the past, Xie Jingran didn’t take these things seriously, and even felt that the Xie family had strict education and such despicable things shouldn’t happen.
Unexpectedly, I was slapped in the face on the spot. What my half-brother Jingqi was doing was exactly this.
"Ah, brother!" When Xie Jingqi saw that it was Xie Jing, his expression changed several times, and finally he put on a pitiful expression, hid in Fang Zhixiu's arms, and said with a bit of cowardice and weakness:
"Brother, don't be angry. Sister Fang and I are sincere. I..."
"Shut up!" Xie Jingran angrily scolded: "You are the one who is wronged?
Your brother in your family is currently engaged and hasn't found a partner yet, but you quietly throw yourself into his arms and get close to him!
After all, you are a son of a noble family, but where is your family education, your sense of propriety, righteousness, and integrity?
How could you do such a shameless thing! "
Although Xie Jingran does not want to marry Fang Zhixiu, the two are in the stage of discussing marriage.
At this time, Xie Jingqi took the initiative to get together with Fang Zhixiu, and Fang Zhixiu, while openly pursuing Xie Jingran and proposing marriage, was actually meeting with Xie Jingqi in private.
The behavior of the two was a great insult to Xie Jingran, without a trace of respect.
Fang Zhixiu disagreed.
"What's the big deal!
The imperial court has stipulated that women can have three husbands and four concubines, so what's wrong with me and your brother being together?
You will always have to compete with many younger brothers for favor." Fang Zhixiu held Xie Jingqi with one hand and played with his hair with the other, saying nonchalantly:
"It would be better if both of you brothers could marry me. We are already a family, and after you marry me, you can help each other. How great!
As a man, you should be more generous. "
"Marry you? Forget it!" Xie Jingran looked at the red lip balm marks on Fang Zhixiu's lips and felt nauseous.
Fang Zhixiu was a famous playboy and a playboy among the noble ladies in the capital. She was so romantic that she had dated countless men.
Even though Xie Jingqi was trying to tempt him to climb up the social ladder, he still had the responsibility to accept the offer.
What's more, he was discussing marriage with me openly, but secretly he was having an affair with my half-brother.
Trampling on your own dignity like this!
There was no way he was going to marry this person!
“Hahahaha!” Fang Zhixiu laughed loudly: “This is not up to you!”
"You probably don't know yet? Your aunt has already made the decision to exchange the engagement letter between you and me.
If your family had not been busy with a flower-viewing party these days, my family would have come here to issue the marriage certificate and send the betrothal gifts.
Our marriage is a done deal.
Just wait patiently for your turn to be my doctor!"
That was why Fang Zhixiu was fearless, not afraid of his affair with Xie Jingqi being exposed, or being caught by Xie Jingran.
So what if we run into each other?
Since the ladies of the Xie family wanted to curry favor with the Shangshu Mansion, it was impossible for them to support Xie Jingran in such matters.
Maybe Xie Jingqi's initiative to throw himself into his arms was also a move made by the Xie family.
Fang Zhixiu looked at the two handsome young men of the Xie family. One was gentle and kind, suitable for a family, and the other was coquettish and charming, quite interesting.
She received them all!
Fang Zhixiu stood up with satisfaction, and pulled Xie Jingqi along as if nothing had happened, preparing to go downstairs to the flower viewing banquet.
Xie Jingqi felt happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw his brother was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Finally, relying on his own ability, he was able to marry into the Shangshu Mansion.
Although I can't become a doctor, as long as I can marry into the family, it's a victory.
Why can my brother, as the legitimate son, marry into a wealthy family even if he has lost his parents?
I am not bad in any way, but I can't marry into those wealthy families.
He would rather cry in a wealthy family than laugh in a poor family.
He just wants others to envy him and look up to him.
Being a concubine's son is always inferior to the legitimate son, he has had enough of it.
Thinking of this, Xie Jingqi straightened his back and prepared to follow Fang Zhixiu downstairs.
"Fang Zhixiu! You are shameless!" Xie Jingran suddenly rushed over and slapped Fang Zhixiu hard.
Fang Zhixiu was stunned.
Then, without stopping, he slapped Xie Jingqi hard again: "Bitch!"
Xie Jingqi was caught off guard, screamed, and fell to the ground covering half of his face.
After Xie Jingran finished beating him, he ran away.
Song Yan, who had been standing in the background, quickly chased after him.
He no longer admired the flowers or attended the banquet.
Xie Jingran ran out of Dicui Pavilion, ran out of the Xie family’s yard, and ran to the busy street.
His mind was in a mess and he couldn't help shaking all over because of shock, anger, grievance and sadness.
"Young Master!" Song Yan caught up with him and supported him, unable to help but shed two lines of sad tears.
Master Jingqi and that Miss Fang are so shameless that they trample on the Master's dignity like this.
If the Madam and the Master were still alive, how could such a thing happen!
"I can't marry her!" Xie Jingran staggered, but his tone was firm.
All the confusion in the past has faded away at this moment.
Xie Jingran was enlightened!
He finally understood that since his parents passed away, the Xie Mansion was no longer his home.
Every lady and master here treats him, the legitimate son, as a chess piece, using him to exchange for their future and the happiness of their own children.
No one cares whether he is happy or not.
It turned out that apart from his parents, no one really wanted him to live a good life.
"Songyan, I have been very obedient since I was a child. I followed my family teachings, adhered to male ethics, and never argued for anything.
But what did I get? What did they arrange for me? "
Xie Jingran couldn't stop his tears from flowing.
"Young Master, you are very good! It's them who are not good!" Song Yan took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears for the Young Master.
"What's the point of marrying into a wealthy family? It's nothing more than using someone else's life to seek benefits for yourself!"
Xie Jingran took a few deep breaths and stopped crying.
He seemed to see Lu Yao again and hear what Lu Yao said to him again. He thought it was shocking at the time, but now he felt it was very correct.
"Marriage is a lifelong event, so of course you have to pay more attention to it."
“You have to fight for your own happiness. You can’t just wait for others to arrange it for you. What if others don’t arrange it for you?”
"Whirlwind Dabidou!"
Xie Jingran smiled.
I laughed and started to cry again.
It turned out that Miss Lu had already demonstrated to him how to live.
In the past, I was too conservative, and my mind and hands were bound by those etiquettes.
When I met happiness, I didn’t dare to accept it, and when I was sold out by my elders, I didn’t dare to refute it.
"I don't want to live like that anymore!" A new belief gradually rose in Xie Jingran's heart.
Song Yan, who was standing by, suddenly felt that the young master had changed.
The appearance has not changed, but the spirit and temperament are suddenly different.
Xie Jingran wiped away his tears, looked ahead and suddenly smiled.
Some things really have their own guidance.
Just now he ran out of Xie's house and seemed to be stumbling aimlessly on the street, but in fact he came to the Princess's house unknowingly.
'It doesn't matter if we exchanged the Engagement Letter. Fang Zhixiu and the elders thought there was nothing I could do.
But, I still have my uncle, Queen Phoenix, and my cousin, Her Royal Highness the Princess! '
Queen Feng is in the palace, so it is not easy to see her, but my cousin, the Crown Princess, has her own residence outside.
Xie Jingran simply tidied up his appearance, straightened his back and walked forward firmly.
"I'm going to see Sister Tainu."
