I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Chapter 161 Ji Yan

Qin Lianxi's face turned pale, and it was obvious that he was very reluctant, but Xiao Ran seemed unwilling to give in and just looked at Qin Lianxi stubbornly.

Finally, Qin Lianxi compromised and said, "Okay."

He dragged a chair and sat down, pointed to the seat opposite, and said to Xu Shu: "Please sit down."

Xu Shu was a little reluctant, but seeing that Qin Lianxi seemed to be at the end of his strength, he hesitated for a few seconds and finally chose to sit down.

Let’s hear what Qin Lianxi has to say first.

Seeing Xu Shu sitting down, Xiao Ran moved a low stool and sat next to Qin Lianxi. He seemed much shorter than Qin Lianxi and looked inexplicably funny.

Qin Lianxi didn't even look at Xiao Ran, and said directly: "Mr. Xu has been here all the time, so he must have some guesses of his own. I used to be Ji Yan's concubine. Ji is the emperor's surname, and Ji Yan is the name of Emperor Jing Yan."

"But the Ji Yan I'm talking about is not Emperor Jing Yan."

Xu Shu raised an eyebrow.

Qin Lianxi continued, "My Ji Yan died two years ago. He was poisoned. The person who poisoned him has not been found yet, but looking at the vested interests, it is not difficult to guess that it is..."

"It's Emperor Jing Yan." Xiao Ran said softly.

Qin Lianxi looked at Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran smiled at him ingratiatingly.

Qin Lianxi put on an expression that seemed to be both crying and laughing, and continued to look at Xu Shu: "The current Emperor Jing Yan is just a fake that the old witch pulled out from some corner. He is weak, incompetent, and vulgar."

Xu Shu coughed lightly, interrupting Qin Lianxi's emotional recollection: "Excuse me, who is this old witch?"

Xiao Ran whispered, "It's the current queen mother."

"The Queen Mother is not Ji Yan's biological mother. This woman is ambitious but petty."

Qin Lianxi snorted coldly, "I have long warned Ji Yan to be careful of this man, but he..."

Qin Lianxi glanced at Xu Shu meaningfully: "He is really like you. He is conceited and smart, so he is stubborn and self-righteous. Once he makes up his mind, he won't listen to anyone else's opinion."

"In the end, he ended up like this, and we, the living, have to shed tears for him and help him take back the lost territory and the broken mountains and rivers."

Xu Shu was a little silent after listening.

There is nothing wrong with reminiscing about your late husband, but it would be strange to mention him again after reminiscing about him.

Besides...Xiao Ran, the second wife, is still here, right?

What's more, he is not stubborn at all. He has always been very sensible, but these people just don't understand.

However, Xu Shu did not argue with Qin Lianxi, but only warned him: "I have nothing to do with the dead Ji Yan. I advise you to distinguish reality."

Xiao Ran frowned and looked at him, then mouthed, "Brother Xu, be gentle."

Xu Shubai glanced at him, not listening, and said in a colder tone: "Since you like Ji Yan so much, why did you marry Xiao Ran?"

"You think Ji Yan failed you by not listening to your advice and ending up with a tragic death. Then you take advantage of Xiao Ran's love for you and ask him to join forces with Qiao Jianhong to start a rebellion. If it fails, it will be a minor matter to be ruined, but it will be a major matter to exterminate all nine clans."

"Your actions have failed him, haven't you?"

Qin Lianxi and Xiao Ran fell silent together.

Xu Shu looked at Xiao Ran with a bit of disappointment: "You seem to be a smart person on weekdays, why are you so confused when it comes to things like this?"

"Besides acting out the affectionate scenes with Qin Lianxi in front of others and not letting her go to bed with him, do you have any other skills?"

Xiao Ran called out "Brother Xu" embarrassedly.

Seeing that he didn't refute, Xu Shu knew that this was probably true.

Thinking back to the first time he came to the Xiao residence and heard Xiao Ran and Qin Lianxi whispering and seeing how affectionate they were, he really thought at that time that these two were a shameless couple.

It turned out that he was said on purpose for an outsider to hear.

He is not even a part of the play, he is the bull's eye of the play.

Xu Shu was not going to show any mercy to Xiao Ran: "With your cowardly behavior, I guess you can't even touch my hand except when you are acting in front of outsiders."

"I guess you, Mr. Xiao, will only feel sad and secretly wipe away your tears when the night is quiet."

Xiao Ran's ears turned red and he glanced at Qin Lianxi cautiously.

Qin Lianxi said nothing, just looked at Xu Shu quietly. After a long while, he said, "Xu Shu, you are not like him at all."

"Thank you." Xu Shu said sarcastically.

Qin Lianxi suddenly laughed, but Xu Shu couldn't hear any happiness in his voice. He was like a robot, laughing without any emotion.

Xiao Ran was a little at a loss and subconsciously looked at Xu Shu, who glared back at him.

To be honest, he looked down on Xiao Ran.

Isn’t it just that the person you like has a dead white moonlight?

Love is love, not loving is not loving.

She clearly loves him to death, but pretends not to love him. She hangs around Qin Lianxi all day long and says she wants to help him complete his career. She thinks she is affectionate and miserable, but in fact she only moves herself.

And if he were Qin Lianxi, he would definitely think that Xiao Ran was a swindler.

There is no man in this world who would help you without any ulterior motive.

What's more, Qin Lianxi is a businessman, and he is the last person to believe this.

Do you still expect love to grow over time? Do you expect marriage first and love later? I'd rather kill you after everything turns out fine.

Xu Shu was a little unsure whether to continue doing business with the couple. He interrupted Qin Lianxi, who was still laughing like a madman, and said, "Tell me about Qiao Jianhong. Why did you hide it from me?"

Qin Lianxi paused in his laughter, his expression was stunned for two seconds, then his shoulders trembled slightly, he covered his face with his hands, and cried out.

Xiao Ran quickly stood up and wanted to hug him, but was a little afraid to touch him. He subconsciously looked at Xu Shu again.

Although Xu Shu wanted to roll his eyes, Xiao Ran's helpless look still aroused his empathy.

He does the same every time Mu Jinghua cries.

I want to hug him, but I'm afraid he's angry with me.

So he stood up and walked towards the door: "I'll ask Qiao Jianhong."

-

After Xu Shu left, Qin Lianxi cried even louder. Xiao Ran was silent for a while, took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her, and asked softly: "Axi, how about I call him back?"

Qin Lianxi took the handkerchief, nodded with sobs, and cried: "He really looks like Ji Yan, both in talent and character. I thought there would be no one like him in this world, but he..."

Xiao Ran's expression dimmed: "Yes, they look somewhat similar."

"Tell me, is it possible that it was him? He came back, right?" Qin Lianxi sniffed aggrievedly, "He must have come back because he didn't want to see the current situation, right?"

"Axi, we have discussed this issue many times." Xiao Ran sighed softly, "The dead cannot be resurrected."

"But..." Qin Lianxi looked at Xiao Ran with red eyes, "But..."

"But you love him." Xiao Ran spoke his mind for him. He felt as if a heavy weight was pressing down on him, and even breathing became difficult. "So whoever you look at has his shadow."

He looked at Qin Lianxi in front of him in a daze.

Qin Lianxi stared at the closed door in a daze.

Xiao Ran wondered, if it was him instead of Ji Yan who brought A Xi back home, would A Xi fall in love with him?

Then he chuckled. Probably not. A person like Ji Yan would not give people a peaceful rest even if he was dead, let alone alive. How could he compete with him?

He stood up and stopped looking at Qin Lianxi: "I'll help you call Brother Xu back."

"But, Ah Xi, I still have to remind you that Xu Shu is not Ji Yan. He likes Mu Jinghua, not you."

"If Xu Shu is really your reincarnation of Ji Yan as you said, how could he fall in love with anyone other than you?"

Xiao Ran was expecting Qin Lianxi's rebuttal, but it didn't come.

Xiao Ran let out a breath and pushed open the door.

The moment he took a step, he heard someone behind him ask, "What about you? Xiao Ran, will you fall in love with anyone other than me?"

Xiao Ran smiled bitterly: "No."

……

When Xu Shu found Qiao Jianhong, Chao Lin had already bandaged his wounds.

Xu Shu looked at the bandages on his body and asked curiously, "Who did you learn your medical skills from?"

Chao Lin didn't say anything, but Qiao Jianhong said, "It's not Qi Huairen anyway."

He said sarcastically: "Qi Huairen can be called a miracle doctor, but Xiao Ran has fallen to this level."

Chao Lin kicked him and said, "If you keep talking, you'll lose your voice."

Xu Shu, however, continued Qiao Jianhong's words, saying calmly, "It's not that Xiao Ran has fallen, but that the strong wind has blown up the pigs."

"Strong wind?" Qiao Jianhong smiled, "The wind in Changping County is indeed very strong."

Xu Shu found a place to sit down and poured himself a cup of tea: "You and Xiao Ran, you are old acquaintances, right?"
