345, Arguing (2nd update)
“Yin Zhe has disappeared, and people from the manor came asking if he has returned,” Yin Suwen panicked, out of her wits.
She had never dreamed that the enemy would suddenly appear.
To kidnap Yin Zhe.
“…”
But Xie Zhinuan harbored suspicions.
Not many people knew that Yin Zhe went to the manor, and Yin Suwen rarely visited it as well.
“Don’t panic!” Xie Zhinuan soothed softly.
She certainly had some other thoughts.
Like Xiaoyue at the tavern…
Xiaoyue was ultimately a ticking time bomb, one that needed to be defused sooner rather than later.
“Miss, I, I…” Yin Suwen grew more and more frantic as she spoke.
He was her only relative now.
Considering the situation, Xie Zhinuan approached Yin Suwen, “Don’t panic, it’s probably not your enemy who’s come searching but someone inside this tavern, trying to turn you!”
“…”
Yin Suwen’s eyes suddenly widened.
If that was the case, then…
“I’ll have Ran take you to the manor immediately. Remember, if the other party asks you to do something, just agree to it. Save your brother first, then we’ll talk!” Xie Zhinuan said softly, wiping away Yin Suwen’s tears and straightening her clothes.
“Miss, I…” Yin Suwen called out softly.
If Xie Zhinuan hadn’t said anything, perhaps she would have done anything to save Yin Zhe.
She would have thrown life-saving grace and righteousness out the window.
“…” Xie Zhinuan smiled, then turned and left.
Once this matter was handled, maybe she should move elsewhere, taking Xie Yi, the mute uncle, and the three pets with her, letting go of everything here.
Yin Suwen, accompanied by others, went to the manor. Not long after they arrived, someone found her and demanded that she act as a spy at Kechanglai, reporting all of Xie Zhinuan’s activities.
Yin Suwen agreed.
She returned to the county town with an injured Yin Zhe, both of them remaining silent.
After a while, Yin Zhe finally asked, “What did you promise them?”
…
Yin Suwen remained silent.
Suddenly, Yin Zhe raised his voice, “Did you promise to spy on Sister Xie for them?”
She hurriedly reached out to cover Yin Zhe’s mouth.
“Don’t say it, don’t say it!” Yin Suwen cried out.
How could she speak so carelessly about such things?
Did she think she wasn’t shameful enough, or she wasn’t callous enough?
“You’re telling me not to say it, not to say it…”
Yin Zhe’s eyes reddened, and he turned his head away, remaining silent.
Yin Suwen also felt terrible.
Neither sibling spoke; they didn’t even know what to say, both feeling resentment.
When they returned to Kechanglai, Yin Zhe hopped off the Mule Cart first, looking for Xie Zhinuan.
Yin Suwen held on to him tightly, “What are you going to do?”
“I, I…”
Yin Suwen slapped him across the face, “How dare you!”
Yin Suwen’s face turned blue with anger.
The fear in her heart turned into rage, and grievance at this moment.
Yin Zhe covered his face.
Ignoring the onlookers who were there for the spectacle, “You’ve changed, you’ve changed, you’ve become just like that person, you’re no longer the sister I remember!”
Crying, he ran off.
Yin Suwen stood frozen, her tears instantly wetting her face.
Did she want to become this kind of person?
After all the painstaking scheming, casting aside dignity and integrity, to become someone even her own brother couldn’t understand and despised-who was she doing this for?
“Ah Di!” Yin Suwen called out softly.
But when she came to her senses, Yin Zhe’s figure had disappeared.
Shocked and scared, she didn’t care about anything else and hurriedly ran after him.
“Ah Di…” Yin Suwen called out.
She didn’t even dare to shout Yin Zhe’s name, fearing it would be discovered and bring disaster upon them.
