Chapter 213 is not as profound as yours, but it is also there.
A cup of sobering soup was placed beside the carved table, and Ye Xiurong and his wife were sitting next to the soup. In Ye Xiurong's rough big hands was a fragile piece of paper with many words densely written on it. The first two words were "marriage certificate".
"Ugh--"
The lady sighed for the third time this morning since she discovered the marriage certificate. The anger on Ye Xiurong's face grew even hotter, and his head drooped even lower.
"...Do you know what the personality of 'Liu He' is like? Is he kind to others?"
Ye Xiurong's heart sank and he shook his head awkwardly.
The lady leaned forward a little: "Well... you must have seen what it looks like. What does it look like?"
Ye Xiurong: ...
"General...you should know your origin...right? Is he from Jingguo or the Southern Barbarians?"
Ye Xiurong took a deep breath and banged his head in frustration: "I... I don't even know if he's a boy or a girl."
The lady took a deep breath and would have almost fallen over if the maid behind her had not supported her.
"If you don't know anything, why did you write a marriage certificate? I heard there were two copies?"
Seeing his wife anxious, Ye Xiurong quickly put down the marriage certificate and tried to comfort her: "I was drunk yesterday, and you weren't around. I guess when we talked about this, I got impulsive and..."
"Impulsive?" The lady was completely furious. "Even if I wasn't by your side, you shouldn't have caused such a big mess! You wrote Xier's name on it without even knowing who it was. Now it's written in black and white and can't be changed. Let's see if you want to keep your reputation as a 'promise-maker' or protect Xier's happiness!"
Ye Xiurong knew that he was in the wrong. Every time his wife scolded him, he would scold himself twice. He did not dare to show off his strong body at all. He shrank as small as possible and completely put away his usual arrogance in front of the generals. He felt more wronged than anyone else when being scolded.
The lady sat down to take a break after being tired of scolding. Ye Xiurong hurriedly poured her a cup of tea and stood beside her more respectfully than the maid.
"Madam, don't worry. I will definitely ask my brother who this person is. If I don't see him and Xi'er is not satisfied, I will definitely not let Xi'er marry him."
The lady's expression softened slightly, and Ye Xiurong struck while the iron was hot: "Xi'er's happiness is the most important thing in her life. My reputation is nothing. After all, this matter was caused by my negligence and impulsiveness. No matter what the consequences are, I should bear the consequences, not Xi'er."
These words were quite pleasing to the ear, and the lady waved him aside, "We need to get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible. It's best to discuss it carefully while my brother is still home today. You two have a deep relationship, and if Xi'er really doesn't like it, I don't think he will force it."
Seeing the brightening expression on his wife's face, Ye Xiurong finally felt relieved. He didn't sit down and went to find the King of the Southern Barbarians.
"Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely ask for the truth before I come back."
The lady didn't even want to look at him. She just waved her hand to send him away, and then sighed again.
As soon as Ye Xiurong left, Ye Xi stepped in: "My child asks how mother is doing."
Well, he just let out a sigh, but when he saw his well-behaved, sensible and beautiful daughter, he immediately brought the sigh back to his mind, feeling suffocated in his chest and feeling uncomfortable.
"Good boy, get up quickly. Don't kneel down and pay respects in winter. The ground is so cold."
Ye Xi stood up and walked over before his wife came down to help him, and instead helped his wife sit down: "Did the commander-in-chief go to the training ground?"
The lady opened her mouth and after a long while she replied, "He went to see his father-in-law. What's the matter? Does he have something to say to your father?"
Could it be that Xi'er heard about the marriage certificate? I don't know who has the other marriage certificate. I hope Xi'er doesn't see it and get angry with her father.
Ye Xi nodded: "Yes, my child has..."
"mother--"
Liu He hurried over but luckily she finally caught up. She quickly walked up to the two of them and took small sips to adjust her breathing: "Ask mother how she is."
The lady smiled and patted the seat next to her. "You two are becoming more and more like sisters. You come together to greet each other. Come and sit down."
Liu He was thankful that he arrived in time. He glanced at Ye Xi and although he knew that what he was going to say next was a bit rude, he still said it out loud: "There is a rat in the house... It's very big. I heard Xi'er was here, so I thought of asking Xi'er for help."
This lame excuse is so lame it can't be any lameer, it's lame to the cube.
The lady looked between the two of them and waved to Ye Xi: "In that case, why don't you go with your sister-in-law to see what kind of rat it is? If there is anything, it's better to wait for your father to come back and then we can talk together."
Ye Xi had no choice but to suppress what was in his mind for the time being and followed Liu He out of Mingsong Hall.
The two gradually walked side by side, one in front and one behind. When they reached the rockery, Liu He stopped and looked back at Ye Xi:
"You...did you want to tell your mother about us just now?"
Ye Xi nodded seriously: "Yes, since we had it last night..."
"Xi'er." Liu He interrupted gently, "Just because of the kiss last night, do you want to give me a name? Or... do you have feelings for me too?"
Ye Xi's face turned slightly red. After thinking for a few seconds, she met Liu He's gaze without any avoidance.
"Yes, there is affection. Although not as deep as the one you have for me, it is there."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have so many people in the world, just wanting to kiss Liu He, just feeling happy when Liu He is close to her, and she wouldn't be so emotional just because of Liu He's affairs.
It's not that she doesn't understand love, she just hasn't met someone who can make her feel this way before. Now that she has met Liu He, those hazy things have become more real, and the fog that blocked her eyes has gradually cleared.
Liu He's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't even see Ye Xi's expression through her tears. She was deeply moved.
She was locked at the end of a remote alley, staring at the moonlight swaying in the sky every night, and one day, the moonlight was willing to look back at her desire.
For Liu He now, the feeling of surprise is no less than touching a gift from God.
Ye Xi endured for a long time, until a crystal tear slid down the cheek of the person opposite her. She finally couldn't help it and raised her hand to wipe it away with the more delicate back of her hand.
"Why are you still crying? Don't you want to hear what I'm saying? Is it because I haven't said enough, or am I exaggerating too much..."
Liu He shook his head vigorously, and after a while, he burst into laughter: "I just feel very happy and very touched."
Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, let's go and explain to Father and Mother that you...you will stay in Jingguo from now on?"
The last sentence was what Ye Xi really wanted to do. She knew that Liu He's identity was very sensitive and his future destination was an even more sensitive topic, but she still wanted to ask.
Seeking tiny possibilities is not only about getting the support of her family, but also about having Liu He always by her side.
Liu He's feelings of being touched were squeezed out by more complicated emotions. She looked at Ye Xi with embarrassment: "I...this is not something I can decide. I won't let you leave your country for me, but I can't decide whether I can stay by your side forever."
