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

There turned out to be a canal not far away. At this moment, water was flowing in it, and it was sparkling in the sunlight, so it looked sparkling from a distance.

Han Yun'an took out a clean handkerchief he carried with him from his sleeve, squatted by the canal, skimmed off the grass fragments on the water with his hands, wet the handkerchief, wrung out the water, and was about to get up when he suddenly heard voices next to him.

Following the sound, I saw several village women whispering.

There is only one Xu Liu Village nearby. Needless to say, these village women are all from Xu Liu Village.

But their words made Han Yun'an frown.

"Hey, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Tsk tsk! What else could it be? There's nothing else to listen to in our village lately."

"Oh!" A village woman suddenly realized, "You are talking about Xu Yi's family."

"Of course. I heard that Xu Yi has passed the prefectural exam and is preparing for the provincial exam.

Seeing that he has a promising future, would you let a widow like Xu Qiao continue to follow him? "

"I don't think so. You didn't see it, but these few times when I came back, besides Xu Yi and his widowed sister-in-law, there was another young man following them.

Seeing that young man chatting and laughing with Xu Qiaoshi, and showing no reservations between men and women, I wonder if he is Xu Qiaoshi's next husband?"

"Shh, keep your voices down. Don't you see that young man not far away? Be careful not to be heard by him again."

"What are you afraid of? We are so far away from him, and our voices are so low, he can't hear us."

Hearing this, Han Yun'an couldn't help but curl his lips, and was glad that he had good hearing. If he were an ordinary person, he really wouldn't be able to hear what those people were saying.

Afraid that the village women would notice that he had not left for a long time and might suspect that he had really heard it, Han Yun'an simply hung his wet handkerchief on a piece of grass, then scooped up water with his hands and washed his face carefully.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual on his side, several village women continued the previous topic.

"Let me tell you, I heard that this young man is also a scholar.

Besides, he's a good friend of Xu Yi. You say, Xu Qiao is so close to this guy, could it be that Xu Yi is acting as a middleman to get rid of Xu Qiao?

"That's hard to say. After all, human hearts are so unpredictable!"

"Well, guess what, if Xu Qiao really gets married to this young man, will Xu Qiao remarry, or will the young man marry into the Xu family?"

"Of course it was Xu Qiao who remarried. The Xu family still has Xu Yi, so how could they let that young man marry into the family?

Besides, the young man has a family. Generally, those who marry into a woman's family are from poor families who are forced to a certain extent.

Any family that can afford to raise a son would choose to marry into the family.

However, those wealthy families who have sons-in-law marry into the family are another matter.”

Hearing them talking about "marrying into the wife's family", Han Yun'an's hands couldn't help but tremble, thinking to himself that the talk was getting more and more outrageous.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't listen to what comes next.

So he pretended to wash his face, washed his handkerchief again, and then got up and left the canal.

When the women saw the movement from his side, they all shut up tacitly, until they saw Han Yun'an walking away, then they started chattering again.

……

Ever since the last time they were poisoned, Xu Yi never had the chance to be alone with Qiao Xi again.

Because wherever he went, Han Yun'an followed him.

Now that Han Yun'an is not here, he has finally got a chance. How could he miss such a good opportunity?

He was fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan when he suddenly noticed her hair was scattered. He reached out his hand to help her tuck the hair behind her ear, his fingertips lightly brushing her earlobe.

It was a rare cool feeling under the shade of the tree, and with gusts of cool water brushing beside her, Qiao Xi couldn't help but close her eyes in comfort.

She was feeling comfortable when someone suddenly touched her earlobe and she couldn't help but tremble.

Her ears are her sensitive area. She rarely touches them herself, let alone someone else, especially Xu Yi, who is somewhat close to her.

Qiao Xi's eyes suddenly widened and her relaxed back straightened.

Xu Yi was very satisfied to see her reaction.

Seeing that there was no one around, he boldly opened his arms and embraced the soft body in front of him.

His breath with the scent of pine and ink deliberately brushed past Qiao Xi's ears:

"Are your hands still sore? When do you plan to let Han Yun'an leave our house?"

"you……"

After the last intimate moment, Qiao Xi prepared herself mentally for a long time, and finally stopped herself from thinking about what happened that day so that she could face Xu Yi at home. Now, when he mentioned it, the scene of that day once again appeared clearly in her mind.

And being held in Xu Yi's arms, Qiao Xi's face turned red in an instant, even her neck was red.

I couldn't even speak fluently.

"You, you, Xu Yi!" Qiao Qian scolded, "We are outside now, can you please stay away from me first?"

After all, the world today is not friendly to women.

Xu Yi lowered his head and saw all her reactions clearly. Afraid that she would get really angry out of shame, he had no choice but to give in to her wishes and let go of his arm.

However, when he took his arm away, his fingertips seemed to accidentally touch the inside of her wrist, and along the inside, he stroked her fingertips and saw small bumps on the exposed skin on her arm. He laughed softly a few times, which was exactly what Qiao Xi wanted.

"You still have not answered my question."

You don't have to hug her, but she still has to answer the questions.

Xu Yi stared at the shy Qiao Xi and urged her in a low voice.

Seeing that he was not going to stop, Qiao Xi pretended to be angry and glared at him with a vicious look.

But she didn't know that her face was flushed red, and that "vicious" look not only had no deterrent effect, but it seemed like the young lady was flirting with her husband.

Seeing her like this, Xu Yi raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a charming smile:

"If you don't answer, Han Yun'an will be back. Do you want him to hear our conversation?"

When Qiao Xi heard this, she immediately looked up nervously into the distance.

Seeing that Han Yun'an was no longer in the distance, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was somewhat helpless, yet also filled with indescribable doting. His voice was as soft as a mosquito's:

"My hand doesn't hurt anymore. Han Yun'an is your good friend. I couldn't refuse him when he came that day. How can you say that now?"

If you want him to leave, I'm afraid you have to wait until after the provincial examination.

The provincial examination will be followed by the metropolitan examination, which will not be until February of next year. Even if he wants to continue living with them, his parents will not agree.

There is a new year in between, so how can anyone celebrate the new year at someone else's house?

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, as if remembering something, and looked at Xu Yi coquettishly and said, "Besides, he is your good friend, and you are the one who should say it. How can I ask him to leave?"

"And I think it's nice for you two to study together, but the room is a bit crowded. Do you feel cramped too?"

However, due to the weather, the ground was not cold, and Han Yunan was afraid of crowding Xu Yi, so they both slept on the floor. The two of them shouldn't be able to squeeze in much, right?

Not wanting to hear this, Xu Yi looked at Qiao Xi with complicated eyes, leaned forward, put his mouth close to Qiao Xi's ear, and whispered:
