Chapter 235 Confusion, Temptation

The two of them walked out of the courtyard. Wen Xichi walked to a path on the left. Qin Wanru hesitated for a moment and followed her without stopping. Yujie followed closely two steps behind her.

After walking a few steps, I turned a corner and saw a bamboo forest. The wind blew the bamboo leaves up and down, making people feel inexplicably desolate.

Wen Xichi kept walking, walking forward slowly with his hands behind his back, but his steps were not fast. It happened to be just enough for Qin Wanru to catch up. The two of them walked all the way. Wen Xichi stopped when they reached another turning point. He stepped down, turned his head, and looked at Qin Wanru with some confusion.

Qin Wanru smiled slightly, took two steps forward and saluted him sideways.

Wen Xichi raised his head and his handsome eyes still fell on Qin Wanru's face, still looking confused.

Qin Wanru felt a little embarrassed when he saw her, coughed lowly, and was about to speak to break the embarrassing situation in front of her.

Wen Xichi turned around again, and said in a low voice as he walked: "My cousin has grown up in our house since she was a child. She doesn't like to go out on weekdays. She has almost no young ladies with whom we have close relationships. All our brothers regard her as... Look, sister!”

Qin Wanru was stunned for a while, then smiled, and said as he walked: "My cousin is really an introvert!"

This means that Wen Xichi listened to what she said that day, which is good. Her warning is still effective. With Wen Xichi's intelligence, if he didn't expect that his brother would attack him, it would be absolutely impossible for him to be killed. of.

"So, Miss Qin, tell me why you know about my cousin, and how did you know that there is something going on between my second brother and my cousin?" Wen Xichi suddenly stopped and turned around, his sharp eyes falling on Qin Wanru's face. On his face, his eyes were deep and his eyes were menacing!

He had never doubted the matter between his second brother and his cousin before, but after Qin Wanru said this, he sent someone to investigate. After the investigation, the results surprised him. He had never thought that his second brother was actually with his cousin. With such a good relationship, the two of them even have a lot of ambiguities in private.

Although the second brother had always been very concerned about his cousin in the past, to Wen Xichi it seemed that it was just the love of the older brother for his younger sister. The two of them had grown up together. He himself had never had such thoughts, so he felt My two older brothers have never had such thoughts.

But in fact, the second brother and his cousin are quite ambiguous, but on the other hand, his cousin cares about him very much. This kind of care even makes him feel uncomfortable sometimes.

"I don't know, but I have had dreams for several days in a row. They were all about the third young master being killed by the second young master. I didn't take it seriously at first. I didn't know you at that time, but then I saw you. I think it should be you, but I don’t know if my dream is true, so I should take it as a warning. If it doesn’t happen, it’s best. If it does, it’s better to be careful!”

Qin Wanru had prepared these words a long time ago. He pondered for a moment, turned his watery eyes out, looked at a few tall bamboos and said slowly and calmly.

Rebirth is her biggest secret, and this secret is too horrifying. If anyone knew about it, she would probably be treated as a monster.

How could she warn people calmly and still make people listen? This required a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, with her understanding of Wen Xichi, she would not be able to listen.

Therefore, relying on this kind of ethereal dream to express some of the things you saw in your previous life in the form of a dream, although it is a strange mistake, at least in the ears of some people, it should be considered acceptable. Something that makes sense.

Of course, Qin Wanru felt that Wen Xichi was not included among these people, but so what, if she told him a few more times, she might believe him. Anyway, no matter how clever he was, he couldn't explain such strange things. If she wasn't Even if she was reborn, she would not believe that such a thing existed in this world.

"Second Miss Qin has never interacted with our family, and she never knew me before. Why do I have this dream again and again, and why can I still remember it so clearly? I think about it every day and dream about it at night. Even if it is a dream, it is not completely empty. It's ethereal!" Wen Xichi's eyes fell on Qin Wanru's face, and there was a strange peace in his eyes, as if he really believed it, but his words were still sharp.

This kind of Wen Xichi is actually not the person Qin Wanru is familiar with.

In the past, Wen Xichi had always been gentle to Qin Wanru. Even when he was dying from illness, he was still gentle and smiling. He had never been so aggressive towards Qin Wanru.

"I don't know why, or...have we met before?" Qin Wanru suppressed the panic in her heart, turned her head and looked at Wen Xichi with a puzzled look on her face, as if she was really confused.

"Miss Qin Er is joking. Miss Qin Er has never been to the capital, and I have never been out of the capital. As for my cousin's matter, it is impossible for anyone to know!"

Wen Xichi stared at Qin Wanru closely, not letting go of the tiny expression on her face.

Such a look made Qin Wanru quite uncomfortable. This was a huge change from the Wen Xichi in his memory. Could it be that his rebirth had changed Wen Xichi's temperament?

"This... I really don't know. When I saw you, I knew that you were the one I met in a dream. Or this can also be called a fate from the past life!"

Qin Wanru bit the corner of Yin Hong's lips, held the handkerchief in her hand and lowered her head.

Such a burning gaze made her feel uneasy. She was afraid that if she looked up at Wen Xichi again, he would notice something.

"Second Miss Qin is the daughter of General Ning Yuan. I heard that General Ning Yuan was a general who guarded one side when he was in Jiangzhou. He became famous in one fell swoop when the rebels were in rebellion. Now that he has arrived in the capital, no one expected that he would become the leader of the capital. New rich man, I guess General Ningyuan is a very talented person!"

Wen Xichi suddenly smiled, and his eyes softened because of this smile. He thought of a possibility. If it was such a possibility, it seemed to explain why the second young lady of the Qin family knew what was going on in his family. , Even the affairs of his cousin and second brother are so clear.

This General Ning Yuan is really not an ordinary person, but his hands are also too long. He dared to reach out to the houses of other powerful officials just after arriving in the capital, and he was not afraid that others would chop off his hands.

As soon as she heard Wen Xichi's words, Qin Wanru knew that he had misunderstood, thinking that her father had found out all this, and then used herself to please him.

He raised his head helplessly and said sincerely: "If Young Master Wen San thinks so, I can't do anything about it. I just want to tell you to be careful about the people around you. As for the rest, you are really overthinking it!"

"Am I thinking too much?" Wen Xichi's eyes fell on Qin Wanru's face again.

"Of course Young Master Wen is overthinking it." Qin Wanru fluttered her long eyelashes and affirmed again.

She didn't expect that her warning would be so successful. What Wen Xichi said just now actually showed that he took it seriously and didn't even ask if it was true. This also meant that he had found something, which made Qin It was as if he breathed a sigh of relief, but felt excited again.

Wen Xichi was suspecting the matter on himself, or perhaps on his father. Why didn't he know that Wen Xichi was such a caring person before?

"Is Second Miss Qin not engaged yet?" Wen Xichi suddenly looked Qin Wanru up and down and said with unclear meaning.

Qin Wanru was stunned for a moment, but then said with some embarrassment: "What does this matter have to do with you?"

This kind of thing is not something that men and women can talk about privately.

"Does your father intend to marry you into our family?" Wen Xichi said suddenly.

The words were too straightforward, and the meaning behind them shocked Qin Wanru so much that she looked at Wen Xichi with widened bright eyes, and for a moment she couldn't even speak.

"Didn't your father mention it?" Wen Xichi looked very calm. His handsome eyes fell on Qin Wanru's face, and he calmly analyzed the expression on her face. He found that her expression was really shocked, and she frowned secretly. He frowned, could it be that this was not what he thought?

"Mr. Wen San, do you suspect that I have an ulterior motive for approaching you, to get married to your family? Or maybe I want to get married to you?" In his previous life, Qin Wanru never hid his true feelings from Wen Xichi. He had so many thoughts, and when his good intentions were suspected like this, he became inexplicably angry for a moment and blurted out his words.

"Isn't it?" Wen Xichi asked.

"If Third Young Master Wen thinks so, just think that what I said before was all in my sleep, and you don't have to listen. As for the other things, Third Young Master Wen really thinks too much, or I thought it when I first saw you. You seem to be an acquaintance, but that is just because of the scene in the dream, and there is no other meaning at all. Mr. Wen San is a noble man, so he should have heard that you should not speak inappropriate words!"

After Qin Wanru finished speaking, she turned around and walked back to the road.

She was really a little angry. She had guessed Wen Xichi's various reactions, disbelief, disbelief, suspicion, surprise... But these were all for his second brother and cousin, not She thought that he believed her, but it was herself who doubted her, and she also suspected that she was being deceitful just to marry him.

Could it be that the trusting Wen Xichi she met in her previous life was fake!

Seeing Qin Wanru leave angrily, Wen Xichi stood still with his hands clasped behind his back, his brows furrowed tightly. For a moment, he actually wanted to call her, which felt weird.

This weird feeling has always existed since I found out what happened in my house.

He never thought that his second brother was really malicious towards him. He never thought that his always gentle cousin could be such a woman in private. He never thought that his cousin would say this to his second brother. He had never thought about many things before. I have never maliciously tried to confuse my family.

But these are all true, and what makes people feel even more weird is that these things actually come from a boudoir girl who has never had anything to do with his family. This cannot but make him think deeply.

Is this someone plotting against his own mansion?

Standing on the path, watching Qin Wanru's figure disappear from his eyes, Wen Xichi withdrew his gaze and began to ponder.

A young novice monk came over in a hurry. When he came close, he bowed deeply to Wen Xichi: "Master Wen, our abbot invites you!"
