    The night was getting darker, and Huan Niang couldn't hold it any longer.  Xie Lian asked her to go to bed early and sat beside her to accompany her.

    First, Xie Qingru returned to Ning, and then Huan Niang gave birth.  Sima Yu brought Ah Li to join in the fun again, and the guards had to spend more time, so Xie Lian didn't have much leisure this whole day.  At this moment, I was already tired.  But the joy of becoming a new father has not faded yet, and I can't sleep for a while.

    But Huan Niang felt sorry for him and urged him to go back to sleep.

    Xie Lian just whispered: "Don't worry, I'll wait until you fall asleep before returning."

    Huan Niang's face was a little shy, and she smiled and said, "When you say this, it makes me so happy that I can't sleep." She still said, "Go back and rest early. There is a night watchman in my house."

    Xie Lian nodded but still did not move.

    Huan Niang thought of something again, took out a small lacquer box from under the pillow and handed it to Xie Lian, "Put it away and look at it when you get back."

    Xie Lian took it and put it aside casually, saying, "Write it down. You can go to sleep. It's been a tiring day."

    Huan Niang closed her eyes, with a smile still on her lips.  However, at this moment, I had put aside all my worries and was extremely tired. Within a short time, I had fallen asleep.

    Xie Lian stayed with her for a while longer, and when her breathing calmed down, he took out his hand, stuffed her hand back into the quilt, stood up and turned off the light.

    Returning to the study, he opened the box given by Huan Niang.

    What was inside was indeed the purse and tassels given to him by Ah Li.

    After all, Huan Niang returned the things to him intact and asked him to look at them when he came back. In fact, she meant that she would no longer interfere.

    Whether to leave it or to keep it is up to Xie Lian's will.

    Xie Lian looked at it carefully under the lamp, stroking every line with his fingers.  There was no movement for a long time.

    In fact, at that time, when Huan Niang sent the purse and ribbon to him, Xie Lian knew that Ah Li did not make them for him.

    I have carried this thing with me for seven or eight years, and I have touched it countless times.  He remembered every line and the feeling of every piece of floral fabric brushing against his fingers as clearly as new.  What's more, the color and texture of new silver thread are different from those worn for a long time.

    For a moment, he didn¡¯t understand why Huan Niang had to use fake ones when she clearly wanted to force him to burn them.  Xie Lian also asked a craftsman to repair it. He knew it was fake and how much effort it took to make such a purse.

    But at this moment, when a person fell silent, he suddenly understood something in his heart.

    Maybe Huan Niang is not forcing him, she is really ready to leave.  But how could this woman's mind be so entangled and soft?  She just thought that if she really wanted to leave, she would quietly replace the mark Ahri left on him.  On the contrary, Xie Lianzhen burned the purse, but she would return the real purse to him, allowing him to keep such a place in her heart.

    She actually had no intention of erasing his past.

    It¡¯s just a little thought that is as entangled as a thread.

    Xie Lian never let go of Ah Li, and he never thought about letting go.  The human heart is the most difficult to control. It can be guided but cannot be reversed.  Xie Lian never forces others, nor does he force himself.

    He didn¡¯t say he missed me, nor did he say he forgot.  It's just that in a certain corner, Ahli is still the Ahli of the Wang family, who has never been married and will not grow old.  She stood under the osmanthus tree outside Yuanxiang Pavilion in the late autumn of that year. The drizzle was like silk and the osmanthus was scattered in her hair and shoulders.

    He has always known that Huan Niang is his first wife.  She married him when she was young, bore him children, and grew old with him.  He respects her and loves her, and he will never let her down or abandon each other throughout his life.  He was sincere to her.

    He always thought that the two sides had nothing to do with each other, but maybe he was wrong.  Even Huan Niang could sense that there was someone else in his heart.

    Sometimes, the only one a person can deceive is himself.

    Xie Lian took down a locked box from the bookcase and opened it. There were letters inside.  He didn't even look.  Put the paint box in, lock it again, and return it to its original position.

    After all, these things were not destroyed.

    He blew out the lamp and went to bed.

    Half asleep and half awake, I heard a watch drum beating outside.  It seemed that not long had passed, and it seemed that a long time had passed, when suddenly someone knocked on his door in panic.

    When Xie Lian put on her clothes and went down, the boy who was keeping watch outside had already stood up and opened the door. Perhaps his sweet dream had been disturbed, so he was very unhappy and asked, "What's the matter with disturbing people in the middle of the night?"

    "The Crown Princess is dead!" said someone outside.

    The boy then became nervous and hurriedly entered the house to look for Xie Lian.  When he turned around, he almost bumped into Xie Lian.

    Xie Lian only had in mindGo.

    After a long time, Xie Lian let go of Sima Yu and knelt down beside him in silence.

    "The swords are facing each other, and he has already taken the responsibility for the wrongdoing."  But Xie Lian didn't have much trouble in his heart.  It wasn't until this moment that he realized that making achievements and having a glorious family name were not as important in his heart as he thought.

    The guards stepped forward and took Xie Lian away.

    When he was about to go out, Sima Yu stood up unsteadily and pulled out the long sword from the crack in the stone.

    The "clang" sound of metal and stone rubbing against each other made everyone's hearts tremble.  The guards suddenly stopped.

    Sima Yu just staggered up to Xie Lian, raised his sword flat, and slashed down with a sharp and windy blow.

    The maids in the store all closed their eyes in panic, but the sound of blood gushing out was not heard for a long time.

    Xie Lian¡¯s hair crown and bun were cut off.

    The guards looked at each other, not knowing what they meant.  It was Wei Lang who came to his senses first and said: "With your hair on behalf of your head, His Highness has executed the execution himself! Let go."

    Sima Yu waved his hand again, his voice dry and hoarse, "Go back and wait for the consequences."

    Wei Lang pushed Xie Lian out of the door.  Sima Yu then dropped his sword and fell backwards.

    Xie Lian returned home and went to the Taifu's wife to reply. Hearing that Huan Niang had been waiting for news at midnight, he went to her room first.

    The sisters-in-law were afraid that Huan Niang would be worried, so they all stayed in her room and talked to her to make peace.  After hearing that Xie Lian was back, they all left.

    The sky has turned a bit white.  After all, Huan Niang had just given birth and had been worried about Xie Lian for half the night. She now looked tired, pale and haggard.  When he saw Xie Lian, he just called out in a low voice, "Xie Lang"

    Xie Lian responded with a deep voice, helped her lie down, and then said, "It doesn't matter, don't worry."

    Huan Daolian put his fingers on his face, gently touched his eyes, and said, "Cry."

    Xie Lian said: "What's there to cry about? It's you, I heard your aunt say you have to get out of bed. You just gave birth, are you going to die?"

    Huan Daolian still just said: "I was wrong, Xie Lang. You cry. Don't hold it in your heartdon't do this," tears were already rolling down her eyes, "don't do thiscry it out!"

    Xie Lian just held her in his arms and comforted her.  When she was tired of crying and fell into a deep sleep, Xie Lian didn't make a sound of sadness.

    Xie Lian returned to the study and sat quietly.  The morning birds chirped outside, and then the sun shone through the window, and the light and dust floated.

    After a long time, he took out the locked box.

    Because Huan Niang was in confinement, even though it was almost April, there were still fires in every room.

    Xie Lian opened the box and took out a folded letter inside.  He could memorize every letter.  That was the reply Ah Li wrote to him when he was in Yanzhou.

    Xie Lian threw the letters one by one into the fumigation cage.

    When the flames lick up, they are like butterflies that keep flying.  Burned to ashes instantly.  Ah Li's voice and appearance emerged little by little from the remaining fire.

    "Monks fast in the middle of the seventh month, nothing else. I just remember the plum-blossom buns in the temple" "Giving clothes in the ninth month, the sky is slightly cold. The thrush moults on the shelf, and I know" "I woke up in the morning with nothing to do, so I picked off two or three red plum branches  ¡­¡± ¡°Spring arrives in the south of the Yangtze River¡­¡±

    The sounds overlapped and rang in Xie Lian's ears.  At first the sounds were discernible, then they blended into one, and gradually became sparse and clear again.

    Xie Lian threw the last letter into the fire.

    ??Under the osmanthus tree outside Yuanxiang Pavilion, the drizzle is like silk, and the osmanthus is like rice.  The graceful girl finally drifted away and no longer looked back.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
