Chapter 69: Distant Cousin
After Su Xian entered the room, he saw Liu Huixiang standing up with a smile, and took two steps towards him, then stopped as if she realized something was wrong.
Behind me, I heard the sound of a door closing and bolting.
"Madam Liu, sorry to bother you." Su Xian bowed as a courtesy.
"Mr. Su." Liu Huixiang bowed in a standard manner.
Behind the two men, Zhang Cuihua closed the door and was about to clean up the dishes, but when she saw the two men treating each other with respect, she raised her foot and retracted it.
To be honest, Su Xian's arrival made Liu Huixiang's heart beat like a deer.
Since that night, she has been missing Su Xian all the time, and has turned herself from a widow into a resentful woman.
why?
Because there was a very intimate contact between the two that night.
Pressing and hugging the waist, and even...
After all, Liu Huixiang comes from a family of scholars. What happened that night was equivalent to destroying her innocence. This matter is extremely important, so what should she do?
The only option was to marry Su Xian, and that just happened to be what she wanted.
So from Liu Huixiang's unilateral point of view, she is already Su Xian's woman.
Su Xian's unexpected arrival made her so happy that her heart was beating like a deer. She had long forgotten the existence of Zhang Cuihua and the mess of cups and plates on the small wooden table.
She greeted him warmly, "Mr. Su, please take a seat."
"Thank you!"
Su Xian followed Liu Huixiang's guidance and walked to the small wooden table against the wall.
However, just as they were about to sit down, they both saw the mess of cups and plates on the table.
Su Xian was embarrassed, not knowing whether to sit or not.
Liu Huixiang was even more ashamed, her pretty face flushed, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Miss, Mr. Su, you guys chat first, I'll clean up the dishes first!" Zhang Cuihua came forward, quickly cleaned up the dishes, wiped the small wooden table clean, and finally brought two cups of hot tea.
After serving the tea, Zhang Cuihua pretended to go back to the kitchen to wash the dishes, but in fact she did not wash them. Instead, she hid at the kitchen door and eavesdropped on their conversation.
At the small wooden table, Su Xian and Liu Huixiang drank tea in silence.
What I fear most at times like this is silence. Once people are silent, they tend to think too much.
For example, thinking about what happened that night...
To be more specific, Su Xian remembered the fragrance and softness of the delicate body that he was hugging tightly. The touch was, wow, so exquisite;
And what Liu Huixiang thought of was the feeling of being hugged tightly, and...
She originally didn't want to think about that, but there seemed to be a devil [hormone] in her body driving her, and sometimes she couldn't control herself at all.
We can't remain silent like this any longer!
Su Xian was the first to break the silence and said, "I came to visit you because I have something to ask for."
"Sir, please feel free to speak." Liu Huixiang gradually came back to her senses.
"Clothes! I want to borrow some clothes from Mrs. Liu!" Su Xian said.
Liu Huixiang raised her eyes and stared at the Confucian robe Su Xian was wearing, then lowered her head, her ears gradually getting hot, thinking to herself, "I did stay up late to make a few new robes for you, sir... but I didn't expect that you would be so in tune with me and take the initiative to come and get them."
When she thought of this, Liu Huixiang felt extremely relaxed.
But then he was in trouble again. How should he give those new robes to Mr. Su?
She had to think of a suitable way to send the new robe away while also saving her girl's paper-thin face.
"Mrs. Liu? Mrs. Liu?"
"Oh." Liu Huixiang came back to her senses and asked carefully, "What kind of clothes do you want to borrow, sir?"
Su Xian was a little confused. Of course, he was borrowing women's clothes!
There shouldn't be any men's clothes in her house!
But Su Xian still replied: "Skirt! It doesn't matter whether it's new or old, or whether it looks good or not. Madam Liu's old dress is fine."
What?
Liu Huixiang seemed to be shocked and asked blankly: "Skirt? Women's clothes?"
Before Su Xian could answer, Liu Huixiang asked cautiously, "Is there a woman coming to Master Su's house?"
"Yes! That's why I asked Madam Liu to borrow some old clothes." Su Xian didn't hear anything unusual in her voice.
“…”
Liu Huixiang couldn't tell what she was feeling now. Was she heartbroken? But the two of them didn't break up, so it couldn't be considered a heartbreak. At most, it was just unrequited love.
But, Su Xian took advantage of her so much that night...
Liu Huixiang grew up in an atmosphere of scholarly family. In her opinion, what happened that night completely destroyed her innocence.
She could only marry Su Xian and be his woman.
Otherwise, how can we live?
After all, she was an ancient woman, and the concept of chastity was ingrained in her bones.
"Madam Liu? Madam Liu?" Su Xian wondered, why was she so distracted tonight?
"She... what kind of woman is she?" Liu Huixiang's voice was a little hoarse and her mood was very complicated.
"Oh, she is my distant cousin. Her family suffered a disaster and she was the only one left, so she came to me for help." Su Xian told a story he had made up in advance.
"Distant cousin..." Liu Huixiang's heart suddenly surged with joy. Since it was the distant cousin who was in trouble and came to seek refuge, it made sense.
"Yes, this poor child came all the way from a long distance to beg for food. He is dirty and has become a little beggar..."
Su Hyun shook his head and continued making up stories.
However, Liu Huixiang didn't listen at all. She frowned and pondered for a while, then asked, "Sir, have you ever met that distant cousin before?"
Su Xian was slightly stunned, always feeling that she and he were not on the same channel, but he also explained: "I have never seen her before. She came to me with a family token, otherwise I would not dare to recognize her."
So that’s how it is… Liu Huixiang was completely relieved.
In the feudal era, cousins could get married , so Liu Huixiang thought for a long time before asking this question.
Meanwhile, behind the kitchen door.
Zhang Cuihua, who had been sweating like Liu Huixiang for several times, finally stopped eavesdropping and turned around to wash the dishes...
Liu Huixiang, who was completely relieved, smiled. Her pretty face was prettier than flowers, and there was an indescribable charm in her smile.
Then he suggested: "Since it's my cousin who has come here for refuge, why not invite her to come here to bathe and change clothes? Wouldn't it be more convenient!"
"That's too disturbing."
"Don't bother me. My cousin is a woman after all, so it's more convenient for her to come here."
"Okay."
Su Xian nodded, stood up and was about to go home to find Yang Zhilan. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said, "My cousin has become quite withdrawn and taciturn because of the disaster she suffered. Madam Liu, please don't take it to heart later."
"It's no problem."
“…”
Su Xian opened the door, walked a few steps back to his home, and went straight to the kitchen.
Before Su Xian went out, he asked Yang Zhilan to boil water for her bath.
She is the number one killer and has experience in surviving in the wild, so boiling water for a bath should be no problem... Su Xian thought, but when she walked into the kitchen and took a look, she was completely dumbfounded.
There were water stains everywhere on the kitchen floor.
A small part of the piled up firewood was also wet.
Correspondingly, the water in the water tank is emptied directly...
Yang Zhilan, known as the number one killer in the inner security, was sitting in front of the stove, slowly adding firewood. The jumping flames reflected on her face, without any expression.
