Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 21: Regardless of Others’ Life or Death
As soon as Xie Xun spoke, the private room fell into an eerie silence, the atmosphere strange.
They all looked towards Xie Xun.
Ah Juan’s mind blanked for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she chuckled awkwardly, "Princely Heir, you must be joking."
[Are you okay, are you okay?]
[Your peacock feathers would spread all the way to the sky.]
[...Looking at it this way, you actually match Song Qianfan quite well?]
"Haha." Xie Xun’s smile froze on his face once more.
Song Qianhang and Song Jingwen didn’t quite understand what it meant, especially Song Qianhang, looking bewildered, understanding each word but not the meaning when put together.
What’s so matching about Xie Xun and my brother?
Is there some secret between these two?
Song Qianhang’s curiosity was written all over his face. As bad as Xie Xun’s expression looked, that’s how much more he wanted to know, urging Ah Juan in his heart: Sister-in-law, please explain!
Song Jingwen was also a bit curious.
Ah Juan sighed deeply, [It’s a pity Xie Xun is not Lian Cheng, it’s a shame for Song Qianfan’s unrequited love, it’s quite heart-wrenching.]
[Alas, it’s a pity I have a heart that cannot bear to see lovers sad and in tears, yet I lack the ability to fulfill their love, it’s all in vain.]
Song Qianhang’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Xie Xun, swallowing hard.
So is it because my brother actually likes Xie Xun that he neglects sister-in-law and always finds ways to torment her?
But that can’t be right, didn’t my brother like Liu Miaoying? If not for the Emperor’s decree for marriage, he nearly proposed to her!
[I only wish that in Song Qianfan’s lifetime his dreams will come true, and he won’t need to use Sister Miaoying as a cover anymore, it’s really pitiful.]
Song Qianhang suddenly realized: !!!
Xie Xun: ???
Ah Juan spun tales without any regard for others, her face showing a tinge of regretful sorrow, making everyone believe her words without a doubt.
Song Jingwen couldn’t help but scrutinize Xie Xun, observing closely, Xie Xun’s skin was very fair, dressed more gorgeously than a maiden, mostly in red and purple outfits, indeed matching well against women.
Hmm...it’s not surprising that Song Qianfan would like him.
[Alas, as a wife, I can only silently wish them well in my heart.]
Song Qianhang looked at Ah Juan with sympathy, the Emperor indeed mixed up the coupling, causing sister-in-law such hardship.
And my brother too, leaving a perfectly good beauty aside, why pine for Xie Xun?
Thinking this, he turned an unkind eye towards Xie Xun, blaming Xie Xun for dressing so flamboyantly for no reason, charming his brother into a daze, what if Father and Mother knew about this?
"Brother Xie, even if my sister-in-law and brother don’t have great affection, you should be selective about who you show off your peacock feathers to!"
Song Jingwen chimed in, "Ah Xun, you’ve really gone too far today, it’s best not to speak such nonsense again in the future."
Song Qianhang: "My sister-in-law is not a casual person, and my brother...well, he’s not a casual person either. You shouldn’t speak wrongly anymore, it’s really inappropriate."
Song Jingwen: "It’s disgraceful."
The two of them, taking turns, completely tangled Xie Xun’s mind, making it seem like he was some trivial person.
He immediately raised his voice, "What kind of talk is that, young master here has always been upright, I only misspoke just now, I am no casual person!"
He would be thrilled if someone as casual as Song Qianfan would just roll away as far as possible.
The two exchanged implicit glances and shook their heads, truly a pity.
At this moment, silence spoke louder than words.
"..." Xie Xun now realized what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on his own foot, no matter how many mouths he had now, he couldn’t explain it clearly!
With a nameless fire building within, he gulped down a few cups of tea.
Song Jingwen looked towards Ah Juan with a heavy heart, "Sister-in-law, there is still a long way to go in the days ahead, life still needs to be lived well."
"If you face any hardship and find no one to discuss it with, feel free to consult with me."
Ah Juan was puzzled, what hardship?
[Why is Song Jingwen suddenly saying these strange words, did he notice the unspoken sorrow in my eyes?]
She lowered her gaze, eyes showing sorrow, "Thank you, cousin, for your concern. Ah Juan is most grateful."
Beside her, Song Qianhang quickly added, "Sister-in-law, there’s also me, if my brother bullies you in the future, don’t be afraid, tell me!"
As he spoke, he patted his chest, how could he let an outsider help his sister-in-law?
Ah Juan felt touched, "Having such considerate friends is a comfort in life."
Xie Xun sneered, "Brother Jingwen, I won’t even mention it, but Qianhang, you’re usually so afraid of your big brother, even if Ah Juan has some difficulty, what could you possibly do if she told you?"
Song Qianhang lifted his chin, "Brother Xie, you’re wrong. I usually respect my brother, but if my sister-in-law has any difficulties in the future, I will definitely help her solve them!"
Xie Xun raised an eyebrow: "Are you a man of your word?"
Song Qianhang: "As good as a promise carved in stone!"
Ah Juan’s eyes lit up with a sly glint, "Qianhang, is this true? If sister-in-law has any difficulty, will you truly help solve it?"
Song Qianhang suddenly felt a bad premonition, with three pairs of eyes on him, he nodded, grinning, "Of course, it’s true."
Ah Juan: "You’ll help with anything?"
Song Qianhang hesitated for a moment, "Except for murder and arson, those are a no-go."
Ah Juan smiled with an honest look, "Rest assured, your sister-in-law is a good person, not involved in those violent acts."
Song Qianhang breathed a sigh of relief, he was truly afraid Ah Juan would give him some difficult task, he had spoken the words, he couldn’t go back on them as a man.
[Obviously, murder and arson are impossible, I’m a law-abiding citizen... just copying some feminine precepts.]
Song Qianhang: Hmm, hmm, definitely no to murder and arson, good citizens...just copying feminine precepts and...?]
He blinked twice rapidly, pupils widening, "Copy feminine precepts!?"
Ah Juan had a look of "teachable child" on her face. "It’s up to you now, there shouldn’t be any issues, right?"
[So clever, I hadn’t even said it yet, and he guessed it already?]
Xie Xun stifled a laugh on the side.
Song Jingwen’s stern expression also softened a bit.
Song Qianhang’s mouth trembled, anything but copying feminine precepts, "Sister-in-law, that copying of feminine precepts might be a bit...difficult..."
Ah Juan looked innocent, "Why wouldn’t it be okay, were you just joking to tease sister-in-law before?"
Song Qianhang: "Of course not..."
Ah Juan, with a beaming smile, stood up with the teapot, pouring a cup for Song Qianhang, "Then please do it, I knew you were a good kid, completely different from your brother."
Song Qianhang: "..."
Like the feeling of eating bitter almonds in silence, having trouble expressing it.
Just as Xie Xun, another person hoisted by their own petard.
And Xie Xun remained indifferent, shook his fan, laughing more flamboyantly,
