Chapter 146 Being used
Aying was copying Buddhist scriptures and was not disturbed by anyone else.
Su Jian couldn't help but feel a little curious, "Girl, it's quite peaceful today."
Ah Ying laughed, "Isn't there something tall holding it up?"
From the hidden meaning, she knew that it must be Xie Chengyi who was supporting her from behind.
Su Jian smiled and said, "Come to think of it, the prince really cares about me, and he even dares to confront the princess directly."
Ah Ying did not agree.
What is the relationship between the two of them? It is the inseparable first love plot. Besides, they may have loved each other because of the marriage ten years ago. As for A Ying, she has only been with the prince for half a year. Although the two of them have had physical contact, it was not done in a sober state. She cannot use this to raise her status in Xie Chengyi's heart.
Now, Aying wants to think more about herself.
"How many more times?" Ah Ying's wrists were sore from writing. Looking at the pile of Buddhist scriptures, he thought that it should be about enough.
Su Jian quickly replied with a sense of relief: "Three times! Three more times to go and it will be done!"
It was getting dark outside.
But since Xie Chengyi called her from the future, she didn't need to worry, "It's okay, just finish writing it, so you don't have to come again tomorrow."
Su Jian didn't want to step into this place again, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
The jasper incense burner with plum blossom pattern quietly emits curling smoke, and the room is filled with the faint scent of ink. Rice paper is spread on the pear wood desk, and the brush is gently grinding ink on the inkstone, making a rustling sound. In the study, time seems to have frozen, and only the sound of the pen tip touching the paper and the rustling sound of leaves shaking in the wind outside the window can be heard.
Perhaps because he had been copying Buddhist scriptures for a long time, Aying's expression became somewhat serene, and even his eyes seemed much calmer.
Outside the house, Feichen looked at Aying writing at the desk through the candlelight and smiled with relief in his heart. If she could always be so happy, it would be a good destination for her.
Feichen lowered his eyes, smiled and sighed. Xie Chengyi has not come out of the secret room until now. Has his mentality changed?
Looking back at Aying in the room, if Aying was destined to be hurt, it would be better for her to separate from Xie Chengyi and avoid being sad in the future.
Just as Feichen was lost in endless confusion of thoughts, Aying had already finished writing.
Just as I was about to go out, I suddenly saw a figure.
So, he walked quickly out of the door and saw Feichen leaving.
Ah Ying called out quickly, "Sir, please stay!"
Feichen paused, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
"Young Master?" Ah Ying tried to call again.
Feichen then turned around, his figure half in the dark and half in the light, "Girl."
Hearing the slightly hoarse voice, Ah Ying thought that it might be older than her, but she still had to thank him, "Thank you for yesterday, sir."
"It's just a piece of cake." However, Aying looked at the man and it seemed that he didn't take it as a big deal.
"May I ask your name, sir? Ah Ying would also like to express her gratitude." Ah Ying said politely.
When Feichen looked up at Ah Ying again, he was much calmer, "I am Feichen, no need to thank me."
"Fei Chen..." Aying murmured to himself.
But Feichen didn't take it seriously at all. He turned around and jumped away.
"Hey——" Ah Ying called again, but he was gone.
Su Jian scratched his head and said, "This Feichen is so strange."
Ah Ying looked at the direction where Feichen left and sighed, "I feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy with him."
Seeing that Xie Chengyi didn't show up after waiting for a while, Ah Ying said with a little disappointment: "Let's go, Su Jian, let's go back."
"Aren't you waiting for the prince anymore?" Su Jian asked.
Wait? Where to wait?
"No need to wait. He will go back naturally when he sees us going back." Aying said calmly.
Just as he stepped out of the study and before he reached the door, he bumped into the distraught Xie Chengyi.
"Ouch——" Ah Ying bumped into Xie Chengyi's chest and couldn't help but gasp.
After rubbing it gently, Ah Ying looked up and saw Xie Chengyi was about to scold her, but then she saw Xie Chengyi's lifeless eyes.
"What's wrong?" Aying asked softly.
Xie Chengyi seemed to have just recovered from his shock and forced a smile, "It's okay, let's go back." However, this smile was more embarrassing than bitterness.
Ah Ying looked at Xie Chengyi, who was walking in front of her without paying any attention to his pace, and guessed that something must have happened to this man.
But he didn't want to say it.
Then it can only be related to Xiao Jiyao.
Suddenly, Xie Chengyi paused.
Aying looked at his back in confusion.
Xie Chengyi seemed to raise his eyes upwards, turned around, held Ah Ying's hand tightly, and walked out of the corridor...
Ah Ying followed Xie Chengyi's gaze and glanced upwards, only to see a figure flash by.
Although not sure, Aying boldly guessed that it should be Xiao Jiyao.
So was this hand holding meant to deliberately provoke Xiao Jiyao?
When they reached the gate of the princess's mansion, Ah Ying struggled to shake Xie Chengyi's hand, "I'm a little tired."
Xie Chengyi didn't say anything.
Sitting in the carriage in silence, Aying could clearly sense that Xie Chengyi was not in good condition.
She was also a little disappointed. This kind of relationship was obviously not what she wanted...
Princess House.
The moment Xiao Jiyao saw Xie Chengyi taking Huo Aying away, she was heartbroken.
She sat on the warm couch, drinking pot after pot of plum wine, as if she could forget all her worries.
Fang Gu tried to persuade her several times, but was scolded out every time by Xiao Jiyao.
Feichen had just returned from an inspection outside. Seeing Fanggu's worried look, he couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, why haven't you slept yet?"
Fang Gu looked inside and said, "The princess is still in there, she has been drinking a lot. If she keeps drinking like this, I'm afraid it will hurt her health."
Feichen's eyes darkened, but he was helpless.
"Fei Chen, why don't you go and persuade the princess? She will listen to you." Fang Gu grabbed Fei Chen, his eyes full of pleading.
But Feichen would never persuade her. He didn't want to get involved in this matter.
However, the next moment, he heard someone calling from inside the house: "Where's the wine? Wine! I want wine!"
Fanggu looked at Feichen with worried eyes.
Feichen couldn't just leave it alone so he sighed and said, "I'll go take a look."
Go upstairs slowly.
A wine bottle flew out of the door, hit the steps and broke into pieces.
"Where's the wine?" Xiao Jiyao asked impatiently.
Feichen looked at the wine bottle, calmed down, and continued walking inside.
Xiao Jiyao fell to the ground, surrounded by empty wine bottles.
At this moment, Xiao Jiyao no longer had any of the pride of a princess. She could only mutter, "Wine, wine..."
Feichen approached Xiao Jiyao coldly, "You are drunk."
Xiao Jiyao opened her blurry eyes when she heard the voice. Seeing that it was Feichen, she smiled wantonly, "How could I be drunk?"
Just when Xiao Jiyao couldn't help but fall to the side, Feichen was afraid that she would bump into him, so he quickly supported her, "Princess, you are drunk. I will let Fanggu take you back."
As he was about to stand up, he was grabbed by Xiao Jiyao.
Xiao Jiyao choked up and said, "I broke myself into pieces for him to see, but he still doesn't want me. Do I deserve to be abandoned by everyone..."
Feichen's heart sank. If Xiao Jiyao did anything against the will of heaven and earth, she would have to bear the consequences. But Feichen knew that she was not that kind of person.
"You are really drunk, I will take you home." Feichen said softly.
Xiao Jiyao hugged Feichen tightly and said, "Feichen, you can't leave me again. You won't leave me, right?"
Feichen's eyes moved. Could he stay here forever? If she knew the situation in the future, would she still say this?
