The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Chapter 270

It's fine, nothing happened, just don't bang on my door."

Qiao Xi was afraid that if she didn't say anything, Han Yun'an would really bang on the door, so she shouted at Han Yun'an outside the door.

Han Yun'an, who was outside the door, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Qiao Xi's voice, and replied with a smile:

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't bang the door anymore. Sister-in-law, Xu Yi has prepared lunch, come out and eat soon."

After Han Yun'an finished speaking, there was no more movement outside the door.

Qiao Xi opened the door and walked out of the room, then came to the hall. She saw that the food had been placed on the table, and they were just waiting for people to come to the table.

She sat down calmly, picked up her chopsticks, and invited Han Yunan and Xu Yi to eat.

While eating, he told Xu Yi and Han Yun'an that he would go back to Xuliu Village tomorrow.

Han Yun'an nodded: "I will go back with you tomorrow."

"No need!" Qiao Xi refused, "I'm just going back to see how the herbs are growing. It's nothing serious, so I might be back before noon.

Han Yun'an is here, you two can study at home with peace of mind."

Han Yun'an heard Qiao Xi's arrangement, glanced at Xu Yi, and said incoherently while eating:

"Well, anything is fine. Wherever Xu Yi goes, I will follow."

Hearing that Han Yun'an was also coming, Xu Yi couldn't help but frown. After a pause, he looked at Qiao Xi and said, "Be careful when you go back. If there's any heavy work you need to do, don't rush into it. Come back first. I'll go back with you tomorrow."

Qiao Xi smiled and nodded in agreement at Xu Yi's thoughtful consideration.

In order to get back by noon, Qiao Xi went out early the next morning without eating breakfast.

Not long after she left, Han Yun'an suddenly realized that she had forgotten a few books at home when she moved in. So after breakfast, she said goodbye to Xu Yi and went home to get the books.

For a moment, Xu Yi was the only one left at home.

After Xu Yi had breakfast and cleared the dishes, he went back to his room to study as usual.

"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."

Just after reading the book for a quarter of an hour, Xu Yi heard a knock on the door.

A quarter of an hour? Even if Han Yun'an was as fast as he could, it would take at least a quarter and a half hours to go back and forth.

And judging from the knock on the door, the sound was neither light nor heavy, neither fast nor slow, it couldn't possibly be him.

Besides, he dared to move in on his own initiative now, and would still remember to knock on the door?

As for Qiao Xi, that was even more impossible.

While Xu Yi was guessing who was coming, he put down the book and walked out of the room.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling her silky hair.

Xie Weiyu stood in front of the Xu family's wooden door, soothing her black hair that was constantly flying in front of her, and then gently stroked the sky-blue brocade in her arms with her slender fingertips.

This was something she had specially asked someone to bring from Pingjiang Prefecture. The dark patterns on the material shimmered in the sunlight, just like the light that passed by Xu Yi's clothes when he saved her that day.

Yesterday's method didn't work, and she got very angry when she got home.

Her mother wanted her to give up and said she would find her a better family.

But she refused to admit defeat, mainly because she had fallen in love with Xu Yi. Ever since she met Xu Yi, no matter how good other people were, they were not in her eyes.

Although her mother looked disappointed in her, she still loved her after all.

Just last night, her mother gave her some advice, saying that she might as well get closer to the people around Xu Yi.

Isn’t the person next to Xu Yi that woman?

Xu Yi can't handle it, but women are no problem. After all, every woman loves beauty and is vain.

Thinking of this, Xie Weiyu's eyes were full of confidence.

However, after knocking on the door for so long, why didn't anyone come to open the door for her?

Xie Weiyu knocked on the door again while feeling puzzled.

"Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock! Knock..."

Xie Weiyu's hand that was knocking on the door suddenly stopped because she heard the sound of the door hinge turning.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Weiyu saw Xu Yi's cold eyes through the crack in the door.

She smiled and hurriedly pushed the brocade in her arms forward: "Master Xu, this is..."

But before she could finish her words, she heard Xu Yi's voice as cold as his eyes:

"Thank you, Miss, please go back!"

He was about to close the door as soon as he finished speaking.

Seeing that he was about to close the door again, Xie Weiyu was unwilling to give in. Without caring about anything else, she pushed her right hand into the crack of the door.

Xie Weiyu let out a cry of pain, and her vision went black instantly. She leaned against the door frame and slid down to the ground, hugging her hands. Tears fell down like beads that had broken off the string.

The four treasures of the study that she was holding in her arms also fell to the ground, and the pine soot ink hit the bluestone slab and broke into two pieces.

Looking at Xie Weiyu like this, Xu Yi didn't want to pay any attention to her. After all, his hands were on her body. If she hadn't stretched out her hands, he wouldn't have pinched her.

Xie Weiyu cried miserably, thinking that this would attract Xu Yi's concern, but she held back the tears in her eyes, secretly glanced at Xu Yi, and found that he actually moved back slightly.

She was in this state, and he still wanted to lock her out?

Xie Weiyu was shocked, but she quickly regained her senses. She was in pain, and it couldn't be in vain.

So she no longer cared about her face and her soft sobs turned into low sobs.

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the neighbors nearby to hear.

Soon, Xie Weiyu heard the effect she wanted.

"What a sin!" The short, plump Madam Sun from the opposite door was the first to cry out, "How could the young master be so cruel? He just left such a delicate girl crying and doing nothing?"

Once there was one, there were two. In a blink of an eye, the neighbors formed a circle, and a few gossipy women began to point fingers at Xu Yi: "How dare a scholar bully a weak woman..."

Even someone as indifferent as Xu Yi was a little surprised by the sudden gathering of so many people.

After all, he rarely sees people in the alley on weekdays.

In fact, what he and Qiao Xi didn't know was that ever since they moved in, the people in the alley had been very curious about them and often gathered together in their free time to discuss his and Qiao Xi's relationship.

After all, the two of them rarely go out and basically don't interact with their neighbors.

Now that there's a chance to get to know him and Qiao Xi, how could these neighbors let it go?

As soon as they heard the noise Xie Weiyu made, they all came out of their homes to see what was going on.

The old women around were still gossiping.

Xu Yi frowned, staring at Xie Weiyu's swollen wrist, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

Just as he was about to explain the current situation, he saw Xie Weiyu raise her tearful eyes:

"Aunties and ladies, don't blame the benefactor, it was my carelessness..."

Before he finished speaking, a tear happened to fall on the cracked ink stick, which glowed dimly in the sunlight, as if it was as sad as its owner.

Xu Yi had nothing to fear from the gossip of people around him. After all, a man of integrity has nothing to fear.

But he really didn't like so many people watching, as if they were looking at him like a monkey. The key point was that he was afraid that these people's gossip would bring some unknown trouble to Qiao Xi.

"Come in first." Xu Yi gritted his teeth and opened the half-closed door.
