I Wish to Ride the Wind - Chapter 35

The day that my brother was killed happened to be the day that Shi Wuniang faked his death.

And the suspected murderer of Shi Wuniang just happened to kill him again.

Xie Chengfeng didn’t believe that there could be so many coincidences in the world, so he immediately said, “I’ll go home and ask.” He took a few steps, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Jiajia standing there looking at him, so he stretched out his hand to her, “Do it in a daze. what, go.”

Shen Jiajia was also curious about what was going on, but he was still a little hesitant. He tilted his head and asked, “I…is it convenient?”

“What’s the inconvenience?” Xie Chengfeng thought to himself, they were about to become husband and wife.

The two arrived at the Princess Chang’s mansion, just in time for dinner. The eldest princess glanced at Shen Jiajia, smiled slightly, and ordered two sets of tableware.

So I had to eat first.

Shen Jiajia would never treat her mouth badly. Today, with the undisguised inquiring eyes of the eldest princess and his wife, she was somewhat cramped, so she only ate the plate of shrimp and asparagus in front of her.

Regardless of that, Xie Chengfeng used public chopsticks to pick up a lot of dishes, which were placed in her bowl full of them, all of which she liked to eat.

“Enough, enough.” Shen Jiajia said.

Xie Chengfeng smiled and whispered, “Do you think I don’t know your appetite?”

It made Shen Jiajia’s face hot for a while.

After dinner, a few people sat drinking tea and chatting. Xie Chengfeng then asked, “Father, mother, have you ever heard of Shi Wuniang?”

“Shi Wuniang?” The eldest princess paused when she served tea, carefully searched her memory, shook her head and said, “I’ve never heard of it.”

Xie Chengfeng looked at his father again.

Xie Jiong shook his head with a slightly unnatural look on his face, and asked, “What case are you working on?”

“To be honest, we suspect that Shi Wuniang was the culprit who killed my brother.”

“What?!” Xie Jiong’s face changed suddenly, and he was so shocked that the tea bowl in his hand rolled down, poured tea all over him, and finally hit the ground and shattered.

Xie Chengfeng explained the matter in a few words, and the eldest princess was shocked and angry, and slapped the table heavily, “Where is Shi Wuniang now!” As she said that, she glanced at her concubine, seeing him with a look of surprise, Seeing that there was a ghost, he picked up the tea bowl and hit him, “Xie Jiong! How dare you join forces with outsiders to kill my son!”

“How is that possible!” Xie Jiong hurriedly defended, “Your son is also my son, how could I harm my own flesh and blood?!”

“Then tell me, who is Shi Wuniang, and where is she now?”

“How do I know that…”

“Thank you, Marquis,” the girl’s voice suddenly interjected, preventing the eldest princess from continuing to attack. Shen Jiajia said unhurriedly: “That Shi Wuniang is back in the capital now and has already murdered Master Xie once. It is a fluke that Master Xie can save his life. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. “I’m afraid that next time, I won’t be so lucky.

Xie Jiong had sweat on his forehead. Hearing Shen Jiajia say this, he smiled sullenly, “It’s okay.”

Then he told some old things.

That year, when he went to Beijing to take an exam, he was unfortunately involved in a murder case and was accused of murdering. That Shi Wuniang was born to be romantic and handsome, and Xie Jiong was also a talent. Xie Jiong promised to marry Shi Wuniang after high school, but the gods didn’t agree, the late emperor fell in love with Xie Jiong and intended to betroth the princess to him…

The eldest princess sneered when she heard this: “It’s a good sentence ‘The sky doesn’t meet the wishes of the people’, and it seems that Ben Gong has blocked your good marriage! Ben Gong clearly remembers that you became a jinshi back then, and for a while, you offended the powerful minister Wang Prime Minister, Knowing that there is no hope for officialdom, I asked my father to marry Ben Gong. Ben Gong sees your good looks and agrees.”

Xie Jiong was stabbed in the sore spot and opened his mouth to refute. Shen Jiajia suddenly saw what she shouldn’t watch and listened to what she shouldn’t. Knowing that she couldn’t stay any longer, she got up and quietly exited the room. When she walked to the door, she turned her head to look at Xie Chengfeng, and seeing his face like the world was collapsing, she felt a little distressed for him inexplicably.

…

It was night, Xie Chengfeng was sitting in the room alone in a daze, the sound of his parents quarreling and accusing each other came and went in his ears, he always thought that his parents were the envy of everyone, but he didn’t expect the past. It was so unbearable. He knew it wasn’t his fault, but he still felt ashamed and sad. Especially, especially in front of her…

When I was upset, there was a knock on the door outside.

Xie Chengfeng said loudly: “Go out, don’t disturb me.”

The man was deaf, and continued to knock.

Xie Cheng was furious, walked over and slammed the door open, just as he was about to teach the other person a lesson, when he took a closer look, standing at the door was Shen Jiajia.

His anger was extinguished all of a sudden, his voice softened, and he asked, “Why are you?”

Shen Jiajia looked up at him, “Are you all right?”

she cares about me…

Xie Chengfeng’s heart warmed, and his nose was inexplicably sour, “It’s okay.”

Shen Jiajia took out a carrying box from behind, “I brought you some food.”

Xie Chengfeng’s eyes went over her head and looked into the courtyard. Because he was upset, he drove all the people in the courtyard away, and now no one can see it. He knows what it means for a girl who has not left the court to knock on a man’s door in the middle of the night. Shen Jiajia has a big heart in this regard, but he can’t let others ruin her reputation.

Shen Jiajia walked into the room with a cool feeling.

When Xie Chengfeng poured her tea, her eyes swept around the room, and finally landed on a boat on the shelf. The boat was over a foot long, golden, and very realistic.

Xie Chengfeng shoved the hot tea into her hands, “Drink some tea to warm up your body first, it’s so cold outside, you should call someone to add clothes to you. What else do you see outside my house.” Then he turned and walked to the shelf, He raised his hand and took down the boat and put it in front of her, “I knew you would like it, and I wanted to give it to you for a long time.”

Shen Jiajia was very embarrassed. She came to comfort him, not to take advantage of…

Shen Jiajia looked at the boat, Xie Chengfeng looked at her with his chin up. His girl, in the swaying lights, is as beautiful as a picture scroll, no, how can the picture scroll have her aura.

Shen Jiajia looked at the boat for a while, and then turned to Xie Chengfeng, who knew that Xie Chengfeng had been staring at her for a long time. At this moment, his eyes were facing each other. The aggressiveness of Shen Jiajia panicked and looked away.

Xie Chengfeng’s qi that he had accumulated for a long time dissipated most of it. He lowered his head and took a snack from the food box to eat.

Shen Jiajia watched him eat snacks slowly, and had to say that he was really pleasing to the eye. She suddenly felt a little melancholy: “Actually, I am quite envious of you.”

“Why do you envy me, do you have a heartless father?”

“No,” Shen Jiajia shook her head with a serious look, “I envy you to do whatever you want. This freedom is far better than most people in the world.”

Xie Chengfeng looked up at her.

“I was born in the middle of the market, and the neighbors are ordinary people. Most people are busy all their lives, and they are running around for food and clothing. It is good to be satisfied with enough food and clothing. There are some people in the countryside, so poor that they have only one family member. Trousers. The book says, how can the swallow bird know the ambition of the eagle, I sometimes think, if the swallow bird is born with countless food, and does not have to work hard for that one worm or grain every day, then how can I know that the swallow bird will not have it? Honghu’s ambition. So Chengfeng, I envy you, you don’t have to be a bird from birth.”

Xie Chengfeng had never thought of this, and no one had ever told him. He felt a little shocked and a little wronged, and he didn’t know who he was aggrieved for. He asked, “Then you…”

“Of course I envy you even more. I was born as a girl, and the girl’s world is too small. The older I get, the smaller I get until I get married and have children. People all over the world only care who I marry and what children I have. They don’t care at all about what I like, what I want to do, what kind of person I want to be… They don’t care at all.” Shen Jiajia said, frowning and bowing her head with a wry smile.

A palm pressed lightly on hers, warm and dry. Shen Jiajia raised her head and met Xie Chengfeng’s gentle gaze.

“I care,” his eyes were more serious than ever. “I know what you like, what you want to do, who you want to be. I know, and I care.”
