Ji Xiaotang just wanted to explain to Xie Huaijin, but Xie Huaijin quickly waved his hand with a blushing face. ()

"Xiaotang, it's okay, I know, I can wait." Xie Huaijin didn't need Ji Xiaotang to explain, nor did she want Ji Xiaotang to feel guilty.

The Xie family was not slow. If they thought that Mrs. Ji was a mistake at that time, they would have thought that Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er came out and said they would postpone the engagement, so they would have roughly understood.

This is really an embarrassing thing.

Xie Huaijin didn't need Ji Xiaotang to explain anything to her, he didn't want to make Ji Xiaotang embarrassed.

Moreover, although Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er delayed the engagement, both of them also made it clear that the marriage between Ji Xiaotang and Xie Huaijin will not change, but the engagement will be postponed, which will not even affect the marriage between the two in the future.

Anyway, both of them are still young, aren't they?

The Xie family nodded happily and agreed because they were very sure of this in their hearts.

Ji Xiaotang was relieved when she saw Xie Huaijin so considerate. She didn't want to lie to Xie Huaijin, and she would never be able to tell the truth.

"I'm too anxious," Xie Huaijin looked at Ji Xiaotang and said again, "When I pass the provincial examination in another year or two, I will come back from the provincial examination and get engaged at that time... It would be great if I passed the exam this time."

Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly, wondering why Xie Huaijin was talking about the provincial examination again.

"Brother Huaijin, what's wrong with you? What did he do about the provincial examination?" Could it be that Xie Huaijin was still hard to resolve the knot, but everyone clearly had already said that day.

Xie Huaijin was a little stammered.

"... Just now, just now... Lord Qi, young and already a fifth-rank official, young and promising, my parents praised him... Well, Xiaotang, you are going to the capital city and know Qi, Qi Younian..." Xie Huaijin secretly looked at Ji Xiaotang's face while talking, and his expression was quite nervous.

Ji Xiaotang vaguely understood something in his heart.

It was definitely not a coincidence that Qi Younian came to visit the Ji family at this time. Qi Younian deliberately took the opportunity to come here. County Magistrate Xie and Mrs. Xie were hard to say, but Xie Huaijin sensitively noticed Qi Younian's intention.

Qi Younian is indeed here to make trouble! She thought that day she said that, so Qi Younian would give up.

"He is him, we are us, what are we doing with him for nothing? Although I don't care about this, we may not be inferior to him in the future." Ji Xiaotang said lightly.

The nervous expression on Xie Huaijin's face disappeared suddenly, replaced by a smile on his face.

Ji Xiaotang didn't actually say anything, but the word "we" is already clear about the closeness and alienation, which is enough to make Xie Huaijin's doubts disappear and he is overjoyed.

After looking at Xie Huaijin's smirk, Ji Xiaotang sighed softly in his heart.

"I met him when I went to the capital city. He was still a hundred households at that time, and was under my grandfather's command..." Ji Xiaotang then briefly talked about the fact that he met Qi Younian, but he missed the danger of Mujiazhai. ()

Xie Huaijin naturally didn't care about these things at this moment.

"Brother Huaijin, have you forgotten to tell me something?" Ji Xiaotang looked at Xie Huaijin again and said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Xie Huaijin was stunned. Seeing Ji Xiaotang's smile, he felt itchy and terrified.

Ji Xiaotang's smile is not common, but it is not unfamiliar to Xie Huaijin. When Ji Xiaotang smiles so sweetly, people usually have to be in trouble.

The two grew up together since childhood, and they were all young, but sometimes there was a little dirty thing between the two kids.

Xie Huaijin has suffered such a loss as Ji Xiaotang's smile, and has also seen others suffer such a loss.

"Xiaotang, what's the matter? I'll hide it from you if I have anything!" Xie Huaijin hurriedly smiled carefully, and at the same time he quickly recalled it in his heart. He did not hide anything from Ji Xiaotang, nor did he do anything that would make Ji Xiaotang angry.

Because he returned to his hometown for the exam, he had been separated from Ji Xiaotang this year.

"I heard that Brother Huaijin got a good inkstone!" Ji Xiaotang said word by word.

Xie Huaijin's mind roared, and then his face turned red.

Ji Xiaotang knew that Ji Xiaoyun's words were not fabricated out of thin air. Although she believed in her heart that Xie Huaijin would not fall in love with Ji Xiaoyun, it would be impossible to say that she was not annoyed at all.

Ji Xiaotang raised his face and looked at Xie Huaijin.

Xie Huaijin felt weak in her legs.

He had never revealed the inkstone to anyone, and the inkstone was also hidden secretly and had never been seen before. How could Ji Xiaotang know?

Yes, it must be what Ji Xiaoyun said.

Thinking about Mrs. Ji’s “slip error”, Xie Huaijin suddenly realized it at this time.

"Ah..." Xie Huaijin wanted to bring the inkstone now and smash it hard on the head.

If I had known that things would have been like this, even if he had offended Ji Xiaoyun at that time, he would never have taken the inkstone. Ji Xiaoyun actually thought that he had taken the inkstone to her because he had affectionately, so today he would have invited Mrs. Ji to make such a fuss!

"I am a pig!" Xie Huaijin hugged Ji Xiaotang.

His good marriage with Ji Xiaotang was ruined by his thoughts!

"Xiaotang, you hit me!" Xie Huaijin cried, "It's all my fault!"

Ji Xiaotang was so amused and laughed at the moment when she saw Xie Huaijin's appearance. ()

"What's going on?" Ji Xiaotang asked Xie Huaijin.

Xie Huaijin naturally would not hide it for Ji Xiaoyun anymore, so he said everything about how he wanted to see Ji Xiaotang on the day of Ji Xiaotang's birthday, how Ji Xiaoyun came to see him, what he said, and finally stuffed the inkstone to him and then ran away.

"I don't think I should think too much, but I feel that it's a bit bad. I want to tell you, but I'm afraid you'll be angry. I want to hide it and not tell you. When this matter is over, it will be harmless to everyone... I didn't expect..."

Even now, Xie Huaijin cannot tell some of the words clearly.

Xie Huaijin is kind-hearted and is the worst at talking about right and wrong. Others may not know about his character, but Ji Xiaotang, who grew up with him, knows very well.

Xie Huaijin concealed it, but also for the sake of Ji Xiaoyun and the Ji family, and for her.

However, Ji Xiaotang still had to criticize Xie Huaijin.

"It's fine if you don't want to tell others. I know you have kind hearts, but why don't you tell me?" If Xie Huaijin had told her about the matter at that time, she would immediately go to Ji Xiaoyun to dispel Ji Xiaoyun's delusion.

In that case, there wouldn't be what happened today, and Ji Xiaoyun wouldn't have to think about it for so many days.

"You still want to hide it from me!" Ji Xiaotang said angrily.

"Xiaotang, I know I was wrong, but I really don't..., I, I, have no two hearts, I swear to heaven that if I have two hearts, I will not die well!"

Ji Xiaotang wanted to stop Xie Huaijin, but it was too late.

Xie Huaijin was too anxious to confess to Ji Xiaotang, and he blurted out his vow.

"What are you talking nonsense?" Ji Xiaotang's eyes turned red and he suddenly stood up, "What's wrong with it... Can that word be said casually? You, take back your words!"

Thinking of Xie Huaijin's bloody appearance, Ji Xiaotang's heart hurts a lot.

Xie Huaijin had never seen Ji Xiaotang look so sad and angry, and she was at a loss for a moment.

"I was wrong, Xiaotang, don't be angry, I will never dare again." Xie Huaijin apologized to Ji Xiaotang repeatedly.

Ji Xiaotang slowly sat back on the chair with Xie Huaijin's support. When her mood slowly recovered, she smiled again.

"Brother Huaijin, I want you to say that you will live well. No matter what happens, you will live well." Although Ji Xiaotang had a smile on his face, his expression was a little paranoid.

She wanted to thank Huaijin for swearing immediately.

Xie Huaijin felt something strange, but he didn't have time to think about it at that time. Naturally, Ji Xiaotang told him to do whatever he wanted.

"Okay, Xiaotang, don't worry, I swear. I swear, no matter what happens, I will live well." Xie Huaijin raised his hand and then looked at Ji Xiaotang with concern.

Ji Xiaotang let out a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, Brother Huaijin, I just lost my composure."

"It's all my fault." Xie Huaijin felt really guilty.

"Xiaotang, that inkstone..." Xie Huaijin waited for a while, and saw that Ji Xiaotang was not speaking, so he asked carefully. The inkstone seemed to be a hot potato to him. Now he has confessed to Ji Xiaotang that he naturally listened to Ji Xiaotang's disposal.

"You..." Ji Xiaotang thought for a while and told Xie Huaijin, "I will deal with it if you have someone to send it to you."

"Yes." Xie Huaijin nodded immediately.

Mrs. Ji Er arranged a banquet in front. I guess Ji Xiaotang and Xie Huaijin should have explained it clearly, so she beat someone and asked Xie Huaijin to go to the front to attend the banquet.

Ji Xiaotang asked a few questions from the girl who came to pass the message.

Qi Younian was still in front of him, and the Ji family set up a banquet, so naturally he wanted to keep Qi Younian. Qi Younian was not seen at all. If Ji family kept him, he would really stay. He happened to be with the Xie family in the future.

Whether it is scheming or anything else, Xie Huaijin will not be Qi Younian's opponent.

But in some things, scheming or something else is not enough to make people win.

Ji Xiaotang felt a little irritated, but after thinking about it, he simply didn't see him or her.

Xie Huaijin was a little reluctant to part with Ji Xiaotang, but after talking to Ji Xiaotang, he seemed to have taken a reassurance, so he happily went forward.

Both Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun said they were in poor health, so Mrs. Ji second set up another table in her room and only took Ji Xiaotang to accompany Mrs. Xie to have dinner.

Mrs. Xie didn't mention the postponement of engagement, as if nothing had happened. When she took the banquet and put tea in, a little girl came in and said that Xie Huaijin's servant had sent the things and asked Ji Xiaotang to take them in person.

Mrs. Ji Er just pretended not to know, but Mrs. Xie looked up and just smiled.

"I don't care about your children's affairs. I just want you to be my daughter-in-law when the time comes." Mrs. Xie said the previous words to Ji Xiaotang, and the next half sentence was for Mrs. Ji Er to listen to.

"It's just that the children are still young, so I'll postpone it for a few days. It depends on you, can I still regret it?" Mrs. Ji Er said.

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Xie smiled.

Neither Mrs. Xie nor Mrs. Ji Er asked Ji Xiaotang, but just drank tea and spoke.

Ji Xiaotang asked Jin'er to collect the things, and then sued him in front of Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Xie.

Xie Huaijin brought it to the beating of someone, and it turned out to be the square inkstone. Ji Xiaotang took the inkstone and went to Ji Xiaoyun.
