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

Chapter 320 Another Love Rival

Thinking of the girl's kindness to her and her daughter in the past, Liu Chunyan took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage:

"Miss, please don't think I'm being nosy. I know remarriage is allowed in our Tianle Kingdom. But you and the young master are different from ordinary remarriages after all. You are both still in mourning, so you can't - you can't do that.

If you don't, if you don't take precautions, then - it will be bad for both your reputation and the young master's future.

Men have limited patience, so girls should be more patient.

That's all I have to say, go to bed early, girl."

After finally finishing what she wanted to say, Liu Chunyan closed the door in embarrassment without even looking at Qiao Xi's reaction.

Qiao Xi stood at the door, stunned for a moment by the closed door. She couldn't help but think to herself: She rarely does "bad things", but she was caught doing one. Well, it would be better to do less "bad things" in the future, or avoid doing "bad things" in front of others.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi shook her head helplessly and went back to her room as if nothing had happened.

After the intense conversation just now, Xu Yi became much more obedient and sat on the chair watching Qiao Xi mend his clothes.

Only when he was leaving Qiao Xi's room did he hold her little hand and leave reluctantly.

……

In the blink of an eye, the day to set off for Baidi City arrived.

Liu Chunyan took Cheng Eryue, who had turned into a little crybaby, and sent Qiao Xi and Xu Yi to the gate of Lingxiao City.

Also seeing them off were Meng Xiaqing and Han Qichen.

When Meng Xiaqing looked at Han Yun'an, her eyes were full of reluctance, but when her gaze swept over Qiao Xi and Xu Yi, there was a trace of inexplicable sadness in her eyes.

It was not until she watched the carriage of the three of them go away that she leaned into Han Qichen's arms and shed tears.

If a child can pass the provincial examination and then enter the metropolitan examination, it is a matter of honor for the family, a thing to be happy about, and something that can bring face to the entire family.

Because once one person in the family becomes an official, the whole family can benefit from it.

It is just as the saying goes: When one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper.

But Meng Xiaqing doesn't care about these things. She just wants her son to live happily and freely.

"Alright, alright!" Han Qichen patted his wife's back to comfort her, "An'er has grown up and has his own world to explore, but as long as home is here, he will always come back.

Wang Canglang is protecting you on the road, so you don't have to worry about his safety.

Besides, he was just going to Baidi City to take the exam and would come back after the exam.

Don't cry anymore. If you cry and hurt yourself, what if An'er comes back and thinks I'm the one who hurt you and blames me as your father? "

……

Josie, sitting in the carriage, looked out through the window.

As the carriage bumped along, Lingxiao City gradually moved away, becoming smaller and smaller, until only a silhouette remained.

Qiao Xi has been living here since she came into this world, and she is really reluctant to leave.

However, it shouldn't take long for her to come back.

Qiao Xi didn't know that once she left, she would never have the chance to come back.

Xu Yi saw Qiao Xi staring out the car window in a daze, and then saw that she looked a little depressed, so he knew what she was thinking.

He smiled slightly and whispered:

"I'm counting the days. Once we get to Baidi City and rest for a few days, it will be the day for the imperial examination.

The imperial examination will last for nine days and three sessions. If you miss home, we won't wait for the results in Baidi City. We'll come back as soon as the exam is over. It's the same if we wait for the results at home. It's just a matter of time."

"But isn't there a Palace Examination after the Joint Examination? How long does it take from the announcement of the Joint Examination results to the Palace Examination?"

"Also about a month."

"Then you can't come back. A month is just enough time for the results of the examination to be announced. How can you still make it in time for the palace examination?"

"How do you know I will definitely pass the palace examination?"

Xu Yi found Qiao Xi's confidence endearing, as he himself wasn't sure if he could make it to the palace exam. Yet, she was so certain, perhaps because he was the Xu Yi she knew.

"I just know it!"

In response to Xu Yi's question, Qiao Xi nodded without hesitation to confirm her thoughts.

Along the way, Xu Yi overcame all obstacles. Others might think that he had more luck than strength, but she knew that he clearly relied on his strength to win.

Who would have known that during this period, he only slept one or two hours a day, and spent almost the entire rest of his time reading.

She even took over the teaching of Xiao Eryue.

Well, since she believed in him so much, what could he say? He could only spoil her.

Xu Yi looked at Qiao Xi with a smile. Suddenly, he saw her yawning again and again with her hands covering her mouth. He couldn't help but said softly:

"You got up very early today. Are you sleepy? Do you want to sleep on me for a while?"

Qiao Xi nodded: "I'm a little sleepy. How long until we get to the scheduled post station?"

I didn’t sleep much last night. Just as I closed my eyes to rest, it was time to get up.

She was feeling sleepy at the time, so she could only force herself to get ready.

I've held on until now, but finally I can't hold on any longer.

"We'll have lunch on the bus, so it'll take about four hours to get to the post station. You can sleep well."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi relaxed instantly. Since there were only the two of them in the carriage and the driver was outside, she was no longer reserved and leaned on Xu Yi, almost falling asleep with her eyes closed.

Two hours later, the sun had risen to the sky.

People can eat in a car, but horses cannot.

The carriage first slowed down and then slowly stopped.

The coachman lifted the curtain and was about to speak, but when he saw Xu Yi making a gesture to silence him, he quickly shut up, then pointed at the horse and then at the kettle in his hand.

Xu Yi understood what he meant and waved to him, asking him to get water and feed the horses as soon as possible.

So the driver lowered the curtain and went off.

Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qiao Xi was not disturbed.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the curtain was lifted again.

When he saw the person coming in, Xu Yi couldn't help but stare at the person with wide eyes and said in a very low voice:

"Why are you riding in our carriage instead of in your own?"

"I'm a little bored and want to talk to my sister-in-law. Or you can talk to me."

Han Yun'an saw Qiao Xi sleeping, and consciously lowered his voice.

However, he did not leave because Qiao Xi fell asleep. Instead, he sat down opposite them without waiting for Xu Yi to move away.

"Isn't there someone else in your car? Go talk to him if you want to chat."

He had been to his house quite often in Lingxiao City before, and now he was getting on the carriage and wanted to join in the fun.

"What do we two grown men have to talk about?"

"You can only chat with women? If that's the case, you shouldn't bring Wang Canglang with you when you set off. You should bring a woman with you."

It would have been fine if he had a love rival along the way, but Han Yun'an was so stupid that he brought a love rival to himself. I don't know what he was thinking.
