Chapter 76
Both of them were proud and arrogant, never walking through any entrance besides the front door. After swaggering in, they realized that even with the great disturbance they caused, there were not many people who came out to see what was going on.
Yun Xie smiled as he said, It seems that the Du family is a mess.
Jiang Xunyireplied, DuLi was the one who asked us to come over, and yet he didnt show up himself. He clearly wanted me to assert myself as the legitimate Du son, but Im afraid everyone thinks Du Heng is foolish and hopeless. This place is far away as a border town, so even if word of my recent actions travelled over, they must take it as merejianghurumors, and it would not be regarded as an important thing at all.
Yun Xie sent him a deep look and said, Why do I feel that you always try to think highly of Du Li?
Look at yourself. Dont be so apprehensive all the time. I want to think about you highly, but I cant do it.
Because you are already the best in my heart, and you cannot be better.
This sentence twitched in his throat, but he could not pretend to be nonchalant if he spoke those words, so he pressed his lips together and smiled.
Yun Xie and Jiang Xunyi have become accustomed to each others teasing, so the last sentence shouldnt have been out of the ordinary, but instead, Yun Xie was exclaiming, Why are you blushing? Is it hot?
Jiang Xunyi replied, Its nothing
Before he could finish, he suddenly closed his mouth. Yun Xie followed his gaze and saw Du Li striding towards them, flanked by a few people.
Second brother! He walked straight to Jiang Xunyi and stretched out his hands to hug him. Youre back!
Yun Xies fist clenched tightly behind his sleeve, but at the sight of the large group of people behind Du Li, he could only turn around angrily.
Jiang Xunyi was stunned for a moment, then he slowly hugged Du Li back before straightening up and taking a step back. He spoke lightly, Big brother.
Its good that you have returned. I have already prepared your room, why dont you go rest
Big brother.
JiangXunyi interrupted his welcome. The reason I have returned this time is because I haveheard of the matter involving Brother Rui and fifth younger brother. I dont need to rest or anything. You should let me meet them first.
The fifth younger brother he mentioned referred to the one Yu Hong mentioned before in the Du family who had died on his wedding night. The bridegrooms official name was Du Xian.
Du Li greeted Yun Xie and led the two of them inside. As they walked, he said, ARui has not yet woken up at this time, but your fifth brother has not been buried. You can go and see him.
He glanced at Yun Xie, then turned to Jiang Xunyi. Brother has something else I want to discuss with you the lady who married your fifth brother was originally the young lady of the Zhu family, well-matched in social and economic status, so I chose a good day for the happy event. I originally thought that even if there were some evil monsters, they would not dare to act here, but I didnt expect that the fate could not be avoided. Lets not mention our familys affairs for the time being, but the girl was also detained.
Jiang Xunyis lips quirked. So? Big brother wants me to marry her?
Backup marriage[1]?
Yun Xie blurted out: Pei! Thats just a wishful thinking!
Du Li smiled.Wishful thinking? Does Sect Master Yun think that my younger brother is not worthy of Miss Zhu? Then if you want to marry, you can do it.
Yun Xie was stunned for a moment before he suddenly understood what he meant Du Li did not intend to let either of them marry Miss Zhu, but wanted to hold another wedding to investigate the truth of the deaths!
Jiang Xunyi turned his head and said to Yun Xie politely, Sect Master Yun, do you want to marry her?
Yun Xie shivered, stepped back vigilantly, and said with a smile, No, I wont marry, wont marry
He thought for a while, still a little hesitant, and then added, But if I dont marry, you are the who one who has to marry Ah, even if you want to, the bride may not be willing!
While talking, Du Li had left the group he brought outside and had led Yun Xie and Jiang Xunyi into the mourning hall. A womans voice followed Yun Xies words. Who said Im not willing. Is there any woman in the world who would refuse to marry someone like Second Young Master Du!
Yun Xie choked for a long time without speaking. He raised his eyes and immediately called out, Zhu Rou, why is it you again? Why are you everywhere?
It turned out that this hapless bride was the gentle girl who helped them at the Flame Gate.
She stood in front of the coffin, wearing a white mourning robe. After hearing Yun Xies words, she immediately placed her hands on her hips, eyebrows raised. Do you think I like to be a widow here? This one is already unlucky enough, and seeing you makes me even more disappointed. Yun Xie, cant you control your words?
In thedays when Jiang Xunyi went up the mountain and fell into Xuan Lis hands, Rou Rou had already been acquainted with Yun Xie at the foot of the mountain. When the two both realized that the other was hiding their true colors, not a shy girl nor a kind gentleman, Yun Xie didnt care about keeping up appearance anymore Rou Rou was seriously distressed by her own blindness in the past, so her attitude towards Yun Xie has quickly changed from admiration to disapproval, so as soon as they met, they would fight.
Jiang Xunyi hadnt seen this side of Rou Rou, and he was taken aback for a long time before he spoke.
Zhu Rou? His voice had a suspecting tone. Dont you like Yun Xie?
Yun Xie was standing behind Jiang Xunyi, and he curled his lips.
Zhu Rou replied angrily, I dont like him anymore. Although this man looks handsome, he is too good at acting and is incompatible with someone honest like me. Now I like you, Master Jiang. Lets get married tomorrow.
Jiang Xunyi:
He was suddenly a little scared and didnt want to get married.
Du Li cut in, It turns out that fifth sister-in-law know Sect Master Yun and the second brother.
I have met them several times by coincidence.
Jiang Xunyi walked to the coffin and lifted the white cloth covering it. Miss Zhu, you should move aside, I will look at the corpse.
Although Rou Rou had spoken acrimoniously just now, in fact, ever since Jiang Xunyi walked in, she had been too embarrassed to even look at him. At this moment, she saw him approach as he spoke, his beautiful face close enough to reach, a faint cold fragrance drifting out into the air. Her face flushed and, without a single word, spun around and walked away.
Jiang Xunyi didnt notice her reaction, his hands shooting forwards with force to cleanly tear Du Xians clothes in half, stripping him in a moment.
Du Li didnt even have time to stop him, instead feeling stunned before he smiled and simply stopped talking.
When Yun Xie saw Jiang Xunyi observing the naked man with all his attention, he walked up to him and said quietly, What do you think about his body?
Jiang Xunyi pressed the deceaseds stomach, still keeping his eyes on him, and said casually, Eight pack abs. He kept his figure well.
Yun Xie leaned closer and blew softly into his ear with a whisper. I have it too, havent you touched it?
Jiang Xunyi was thinking about something,ignoring him. Yun Xie continued, But I see you undressed him so fluidly, so how come when its your turn, you feel embarrassed and need to ask me Oh!
Jiang Xunyi retracted the fist that had struck Yun Xies stomach, sneering as he turned his head. En, you have it too, I feel it.
He took his hand away from the corpse and covered it with a white cloth. Du Li had already brought fresh water to Jiang Xunyi, who washed his hands as he said, Miss Zhu, when Du Xian died, did you not consummate the marriage?
When he asked this question, he was obviously a little embarrassed, half lowering his head and repeatedly performing the movements to wash his hands as if trying to pluck a flower out of the water.
Rou Rou raised her willow eyebrows, paused, and glanced at Jiang Xunyi. She didnt lose her temper, instead saying seriously, No. I was sitting in the new house from start to finish, and I couldnt see what was going on outside. I waited for half a day and yet no one came to take off my veil, and because I was really impatient, I pulled the veil off myself. Before I could see the situation clearly, it all went blank.
Du Lis expression screwed up, and he said, Fifth sister-in-law, you mean that you didnt see fifth brother entering the room at all? But we clearly watched him enter.
Rou Rou nodded in affirmation. This is definitely not wrong. I did not see him after visiting the wedding hall.
Things were strange, and Yun Xie withdrew his playful look. What did your surroundings look like when you woke up?
When I woke up, my surroundings were black and smelled of soil. My body felt very stiff, and everywhere hurt.
You were in a coffin when you woke up? Yun Xie asked
No. Rou Rous voice was cold. I was under the bed.
Yun Xie:
It was the first time he saw Yun Xie get played like this, and Jiang Xunyi pursed his lips for the sake of saving Yun Xies face. He tried his best to restrain the corners of his mouth from twitching, stopping himself from laughing and pretending to be serious. He changed the subject with, So you were in a coma under the bed all night. When you were found the next day, Du Xian was already dead?
Rou Rou nodded. Du Li understood what Jiang Xunyi wanted to know and added, We have checked the bed and clothes of fifth brother. It was extremely clean and tidy, without any stains.
Jiang Xunyi said, Thats weird. He has no injuries on his body, but his yin is extremely heavy. Look, in between the eyebrows, on his philtrum, and the lower abdomen, you can even see that his skin is faintly green. Young men should have a lot of yang energy and should not be like this. Yun Xie, can you call the soul?
Yun Xie nodded his head. He opened his palm, and a yellow talisman paper appeared. Vermilion handwriting manifested on the paper, saying, No such person is found when the others were unaware, he had already secretly tried to call the ghost.
He added, The soul is scattered, and I cant find it.
Itwas a very serious topic, but Yun Xie winked at Jiang Xunyi inexplicably.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Xunyi was slightly startled, and at that moment, his mind miraculously filled in what Yun Xies thought process was.He dared to swear by his sexuality, so what this unscrupulous person must have wanted to say was
AXun, look, its so nice to be with me. You never need to worry about your yang energy being low.
Jiang Xunyi:
He was deeply ashamed of understanding so quickly.
Yun Xie continued, AXun
Alright, you dont need to say anything. Jiang Xunyi quickly and rudely made a decision. Miss Zhu, it wrongs you to have to pretend to marry me, but since we cannot see anything right now, why not try?
