Pan Shuo had always been unreliable, but he was more or less reliable with Xie Xian.
The last time he went to Wang Xing’s house to be a guest, he was chased out. It was true that Wang Xing had a high opinion of himself and had a family background. The main reason was that he didn’t even hand in a visiting card and directly came to the door.
Wang Xing was a member of the Wang family in Langya. How could he have seen someone like Pan Shuo?
He didn’t think that she was straightforward. She clearly didn’t care about etiquette and didn’t take others seriously.
Pan Shuo’s father had died early, and no one had taught him these things. He had purely accumulated experience from his mistakes and struggled to get them. A fall into the pit, a gain in one’s wits. This time, he finally learned to send a visiting card to someone’s house first, but… There was no time written.
Xie Xian didn’t pretend to be polite with Pan Shuo. When Pan Shuo arrived, Xie Xian was disheveled as he flipped through the geographical records on the couch.
Seeing that he had arrived, she stood up and called for tea.
Pan Shuo didn’t mind. Xie Xian was treating him like an outsider. He had a big heart.
He sat down and drank a cup of tea, then another cup of tea after a while, until Xie Xian shook his head repeatedly. “If you have something to say, just say it. Why is Brother Pan so inflexible?”
Pan Shuo sighed.” I’m in a difficult position too. Anyway, I’m just saying it and you’re just listening. You can decide whether it’s okay or not.”
Xie Xian couldn’t help but laugh. Which lobbyist had invited this person to actually switch sides so easily?
“Princess Angie.” Pan Shuo looked even more annoyed than Xie Xian, his facial features twitching. “This woman is arrogant and despotic, but she is very obedient to the Empress Dowager. Her mouth is like it is covered with honey, and she is very pleasing to the Empress Dowager. She knew that we were good, so she asked me to propose marriage to you. Of course, I wouldn’t do it. She’s a widow. Her husband died a year ago, and she’s in a hurry to get married. Let alone a princess, even the king of heaven wouldn’t want her.”
So, why did he come to the Xie residence to be a lobbyist?
Xie Xian sipped his tea leisurely as he listened to Pan Shuo’s detailed explanation. This person had an advantage that no one else had. He did not need anyone to help him at all. He could take the lead and complete the entire matter.
“Who knew that this fellow was smart? It didn’t work on me, so she went to the Empress Dowager and blocked me several times. I really had no choice but to agree. Let me tell you, do you want to take her over?”
“I don’t want to.”
Pan Shuo asked straightforwardly and Xie Xian answered casually.
“That’s good.” Pan Shuo didn’t mind at all. They were not on the same side, and if Xie Xian agreed, his eyes would pop out of his head.
Aunt Empress Dowager was good to him, and he had no choice but to make this trip. However, Xie Xian was his friend, and he couldn’t just watch him fall into a pit.
“I think this woman is crazy. She’s been dishonest since she married into the Xu family. I heard that she doesn’t seem to be clean with her brother-in-law. She didn’t even think about it. How could someone like you, with a good family background and good looks, like her…She’s three years older than you, right? An old cow eating young grass!”
He had heard that she had a good family background and good looks last night, but they were two completely different impressions.
Xie Xian absent-mindedly thought of the wanton smiling face under the light of the Qingxi Bridge, as if declaring sovereignty, domineering and cute. He pulled on his sleeves and refused to let him go. He insisted on pulling out one, two, three. He would never forget this scene for the rest of his life.
“To be honest, you’re already twenty. It’s time for you to get married. If you were already married, there wouldn’t be so much trouble. However, this was uncertain. Maybe that woman would go crazy and ask you to divorce your wife and remarry. That woman was a pervert who would bite you and not let go.”
Pan Shuo rambled on for a long time before he suddenly lowered his voice and whispered into Xie Xian’s ear.
“Actually, are you…My brother-in-law knows a folk doctor. He has medicine… Yes, yes…” He winked at Xie Xian, meaning that he would understand even if he didn’t say it. “Do you want to try?”
How could Xie Xian not understand what he meant? He shot a cold glance at Pan Shuo.
Fortunately, he wasn’t stupid and could still read people’s expressions.
“Aren’t I also worried about what Xuanhui is worried about and thinking about what Xuanhui is thinking?”Pan Shuo smiled awkwardly.
He knew that it was definitely very hurtful for a man to be questioned in that aspect, but he was doing this for Xie Xian’s own good. With his status as a noble family, everyone he interacted with at least looked like a gentleman on the surface. Xie Xian was afraid that he would not be able to come into contact with people in this aspect.
They were good friends and confidants. He knew that he had a background.
“It’s quite useful. Think about it. 1 think it’s not bad. It’s reliable.”Pan Shuo said softly, afraid that Xie Xian would feel embarrassed and drag himself into it.
Xie Xian expressed that he accepted Pan Shuo’s good intentions.
Although it was indeed not very comfortable to lead.
“Brother Pan, do you know how many times I’ve taken leave this month?”Xie Xian suddenly asked.
Pan Shuo was stunned. He had already been stripped of his official position and was still rotting at home. How would he know?
“Oh, it’s only the beginning of the month. At most, it’s just once.”
Xie Xian shook his head.” I had a Qi disease at the end of last month. This disease is afraid of heat and heat, so it is very annoying when 1 get sick. Therefore, he had been recuperating in the residence until the day before yesterday.”
“Tell me, with a body like mine, who do you think I can marry and protect her for the rest of her life?”
” My ancestor passed away at the age of thirty-five, and my father was not even thirty- five -years – old – -”
Pan Shuo was dumbfounded.” Xuanhui, you can’t always think like that. Maybe you can live to a hundred years old!”
“I’m twenty this year, and 1 don’t know how many years 1 have left to live. Why should 1 delay others because of a whim?”As Xie Xian spoke, a faint smile appeared on his face. A hint of admiration flashed across his eyes.
“.. This, I can’t argue with you, but your grandfather and your father have both married and never lived by themselves. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be you and your father.”Pan Shuo recovered from Xie Xian’s shock.”
“Besides, in life, we should enjoy ourselves while we can. Wouldn’t it be more tiring to think about things like this? What’s so interesting about life?”
Pan Shuo held it in for a long time, and his face turned red.
“Why don’t you really consider Princess Angie? With her temperament, it doesn’t matter if you’re one more or one less, even if one day… Well, she would probably be able to live well.”
The cup of tea in Xie Xian’s hand had almost been spilled on his face. How could this fellow be more stunned?
Was that what he meant?
“Don’t mention this matter.”
He then added,”As for Princess Anji, please return to the Empress Dowager, Brother Pan. Xie Xian is unwilling.””
He didn’t even give an explanation.
What sickly or not, even if he was as strong as a bull, he would not be willing to marry her!
Pan Shuo could tell that Xie Xian was unhappy, but after spending time with him, his skin had become thicker and thicker. After a while, he acted as if nothing had happened. He ate half a plate of snacks and drank four or five cups of tea.
“Why don’t you not stay in the manor? It’s not easy to take a break, but you’re holding back your anger. Let’s go out for a walk. Why don’t we look for Yang Jingyun? He asked my eldest aunt to go to the Xiao manor to propose marriage. It seems that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family is not happy..”
