After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

Now that Xie Zhongji and Xie Shuze had their affair, she felt relieved.

The wedding date is approaching, and I am fully committed to it.

……

July 20th.

Early in the morning, Xie Linghe, Xie Lingfen, Xie Lingai, Xie Jijun, Master Liu, Mr. Wen and the groom arrived at Xie's residence in Hanlin Hutong.

Lord Hu and his family left the capital a month ago.

After the house was bought, it was cleaned. Now the whole house is covered with red paper. Liu Er and Shen Mu (Xiao Lu's father) have already moved into the house as dowry.

Xie Boyuan and Xie Jijun welcomed the guests in the front yard, while Xie Linghe and her two sisters welcomed them in the back yard.

Shake.

The sun sets in the west.

dusk.

Xie Boyuan took his younger brother and good friend, mounted their horses, and went to pick up the bride, playing music and singing along the way.

Xie Lingfen sighed: "It's so lively~"

Xie Lingai nodded: "There are so many people~"

Then, she turned her head and looked at Xie Linghe with sparkling eyes: "Sister, getting married in the capital is much more lively than in the village. I like this."

Xie Linghe: "Big sister likes it too."

A wedding that happens once in a lifetime should have a sense of ceremony.

This was even more so for women in ancient times. After all, they were taught from childhood to follow the three obediences and four virtues, to be good wives and good mothers, to obey their husbands after marriage, and to obey their sons after their husbands' death.

About half an hour.

The wedding team is back.

Xie Linghe and his two sisters hurried over to greet them, and the guests also came out to join in the fun.

At this time.

Men and women are together.

A familiar voice sounded from behind her: "Miss Linghe."

She turned around and saw Zhang Wei.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what do you want to see me about?"

Zhang Wei asked, "Once Boyuan's wedding is over, are you going back to Xinghua Village?"

"Yes." Xie Linghe nodded, puzzled: "What does your visit to me have to do with whether I return to Xinghua Village or not?"

Zhang Wei didn't answer but asked, looking at her intently: "Will you come to the capital again in the future?"

Xie Linghe was not stupid and guessed it immediately.

but.

She couldn't believe it.

Can you do it yourself?

I am just a girl from the countryside, and Zhang Wei is young, handsome and has a bright future. How could he not fall in love with me?

I must be overthinking it.

definitely is.

"Hahaha."

She smiled exaggeratedly, pretending not to notice anything: "Of course I will come again. Bo Yuan is in the capital. When my nephews and nieces are born in the future, I will definitely come to see them."

"And my other three younger brothers, if they are lucky enough to go to the capital to take part in the imperial examination, I will definitely accompany them."

Zhang Wei's face lit up: "That's good."

As he spoke, his face became serious: "Lingwa, are you free tomorrow? I want to treat you to a meal."

Xie Linghe was in hesitation.

To go or not to go?

If I go, I'm worried that he will just expose the truth; if I don't go, it would seem too stiff and distant, which would easily arouse his suspicion.

at this time.

Li Lingze's voice was so cold it could make dregs fall off: "She's not going."

Hear the words.

The two of them had different expressions.

Zhang Wei's face darkened and he thought to himself that it was bad luck: he had tried to avoid him on purpose, but he still failed to escape.

Xie Linghe was surprised: When did this person come?

Here.

Zhang Wei suppressed his good mood and didn't even look at Li Lingze. He continued to ask, "Miss Linghe, what's your opinion?"

Xie Linghe: "I..."

Li Lingze was furious: "I already told you she's not going. No, no, no, no, you can give up now."

Xie Linghe was confused: "Xie Anfu, are you crazy?"

Li Lingze glanced at her, pulled her away without saying a word.

"Hey, where are you taking me?"

Li Lingze didn't answer. He pulled her away from the crowd, finally opening a door and closing it again. Finally, Xie Linghe was able to break free. She rubbed her stinging wrist, looking unhappy: "What's wrong with you?"

"I still have guests to entertain!"

Li Lingze gnashed his teeth and said, "Zhang Wei has ulterior motives towards you. Don't pay any attention to him!"

Xie Linghe: “…”

"Mr. Zhang is a very nice person."

She didn't care about being angry and took the opportunity to ask the question in her heart: "Anfu, I've always wondered, how did he offend you and make you hate him so much?"

Hear the words.

Li Lingze blurted out: "Because he admires you."

After saying this, he looked regretful: Oops, why did I say that so impulsively!

Xie Linghe was stunned.

Because Zhang Wei has a crush on him, Li Lingze can't stand him. This, this, this...

Could it be that he...

Stop!

Please stop!

Xie Linghe cursed himself in his heart: Don’t think of yourself as a fairy, thinking that everyone likes you. Anfu only treats you as a sister.

Think about it this way.

She felt that she had figured it out: "Don't worry, even if I really get married in the future, you are still my brother." Besides, she might not get married.

The last half of the sentence was not spoken.

Hearing this, Li Lingze's pupils trembled and he blurted out: "No!"

Xie Linghe: "Ah?"

Li Lingze didn't want to see another "Zhang Wei" frightened and afraid to do anything because of his "younger brother" status. He made up his mind and looked her straight in the face as he said word by word: "I don't agree. You can't marry anyone else."

"I like you!"

"It's not the love of a younger brother, it's the love of a man."

Done.

His whole body was tense, as if a string might break at any moment.

Xie Linghe's mind went blank. What? What had she just heard? Anfu, no, Li Lingze said he liked her? Hehe, I must be hallucinating.

There was a whimpering sound in my ear: "Woo woo woo~"

Xie Linghe regained his composure. Li Lingze cried pitifully, like an unloved puppy. She asked in a daze, "Why are you crying?"

Li Lingze choked up: "Are you going to ignore me?"

Xie Linghe felt like a cauldron had fallen from the sky: "When did I ever say I'd ignore you?"

Li Lingze raised her head with tears in her eyes and said cautiously, "So you accept me?"

Looking at him, Xie Linghe's expression suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth in his heart: You little bastard, you are using the self-torture and beauty traps on me here!

Li Lingze felt uneasy.

After confessing his feelings on impulse, he panicked when he saw Reiwa remained silent for a long time. His tears were sincere and he was afraid that Reiwa would ignore him.

after that.

Seeing how flustered she was, he took advantage of the situation and used it to his advantage.

Now, is this self-defeating?

Here.

Xie Linghe had given him enough of the cold shoulder. Seeing his visibly flustered expression, he snorted coldly, "Let's talk about our business later! Today is Bo Yuan's good day. I've been out long enough."

Done.

He pushed past him and opened the door.

Behind.

Li Lingze's expression was tangled: What does Reiwa mean? Should I accept it or not?

He couldn't come up with an answer.

Finally, seeing that person was about to disappear in front of him, he didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly chased after him: "Linghe, wait for me."

She must not be allowed to lose the order.

Zhang Wei, the man with bad intentions, is still watching us covetously!

In front.

When Xie Linghe heard the voice behind him, he paused and deliberately quickened his pace, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't even notice.

soon.

Li Lingze caught up.

Neither of them talked about what happened in the cabin, as if nothing had happened.

but.

Not the same.

Zhang Wei looked at the completely different atmosphere between the two people and felt sad: he had lost.
