Delicate Beauty Becomes the Beloved of Four Brothers After Her Rebirth!

Chapter 40: Who's Your Wife?!

She waited for a while but did not see anyone. She got off the bed and was about to get someone to get a basin of hot water for her to wash her face.

However, after taking a few steps, she saw Xie Xingyun sitting on the red sandalwood chair outside.

Bai Xianyu was so shocked that she immediately took a few steps back. Just when she almost sprained her ankle, the man grabbed her hand.

She crashed into his arms and wrapped her fair arms around the man's strong waist.

Xie Xingyun hugged her and said mischievously, "You threw yourself at me after not seeing me for a day?"

Bai Xianyu pushed him away forcefully and said angrily, "What are you talking about? You were the one who barged into my room first."

Xie Xingyun crossed his arms and looked at her calmly. He said playfully, "You lied to me first."

Bai Xianyu pretended not to understand and turned her head away from his eyes. "Who lied to you? Young Marquis, doesn't slander one's innocence."

Suddenly, her ears felt warm, and a warm breath sprayed beside her ear. "Is that so?"

"… Wife, do you dare to look me in the eye and speak?"

Bai Xianyu's fair ears were so red that blood could drip from them. She bit her lips and said, "Who's your wife? I'm afraid the Young Marquis is drunk, right?"

Seeing that she refused to admit it, Xie Xingyun slowly took out a pouch from his waist. "Is this yours?"

Bai Xianyu exclaimed in surprise, "Why is this with you?!"

Xie Xingyun said calmly, "I picked it up on the road."

The corners of Bai Xianyu's mouth twitched silently.

Why was this fellow so shameless?

He was the one who snatched it away.

"I gave this to Lin Xingjian."

"Oh." Xie Xingyun's voice turned colder. "You address me as Young Marquis, but call him Lin Xingjian."

Bai Xianyu, "…"

'Is this the point?'

"Since this is yours, tell me this Marquis, how did you embroider it?" Xie Xingyun deliberately emphasized the word "this Marquis" and gritted his teeth.

"Bai Xianyu, when did you have such exquisite craftsmanship?"

Bai Xianyu blinked. She had expected him to ask her this, but she did not expect him to come so quickly. Fortunately, she had already arranged everything.

"A year ago, I often invited Madam Qin from the capital to my residence to teach me these needlework. Although I'm not good at it, it's more than enough to embroider something like this in your hands."

Xie Xingyun obviously did not expect her to say such a thing. He immediately frowned.

"You received guidance from Madam Qin a year ago?"

Bai Xianyu nodded. "If you don't believe me, Young Marquis, you can send someone to the silk cloth shop to ask. Or you can casually ask the servants in my residence, and you'll be clear whether it was the case."

Xie Xingyun felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him. The cold air around him could freeze people to death.

He took a deep look at Bai Xianyu before turning to leave.

Bai Xianyu heaved a sigh of relief, but when she thought of the look in Xie Xingyun's eyes when he left, her heart remained tense.

She had just told Madam Qin a lot of things and asked Madam Qin to take care of the cloth shop assistants. She just did not know if they had agreed on what to say.

'This won't do.'

She had to stall Xie Xingyun first!

Bai Xianyu stood up and chased after him.

At this moment, Xie Xingyun was sitting on the wall in her courtyard. One of his long and strong legs was hanging down, and the other was curled up. He seemed to be thinking about where to grab someone to ask.

So this was how he climbed over the wall.

When he heard the sound, he glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. His gaze was bottomless, and his high ponytail made him look extremely young. At the same time, he was like a sharp knife with a cold glint.

Xie Xingyun retracted his gaze and stood up with his back facing her. He looked into the distance as if he was going to disappear in the next second.

Bai Xianyu hurriedly called out to him, "Xie Xingyun!"

The man's back stiffened slightly.
