327: Chapter 313: I Am You!
At the entrance of the Xin Mansion, Xin Jinxing accompanied his father, Xin Shuxiang, to send Zhang San away.
“Zhang San, my sister is weak and the wind is strong outside, so she won’t co out.”
Zhang San quickly cupped his hands in salute and replied, “It’s no trouble.
Let Jinlian have a good rest.
Principal Officer Xin, you can also practice the Body Refinent Technique from the book I left.
It’s greatly beneficial for both defense and strength.”
Xin Shuxiang nodded indifferently and waved at Zhang San.
“Zhang San takes his leave.”
After saying this, Zhang San turned around.
Silently, he let out a belch that went unnoticed, then departed from the Xin Mansion.
In the afternoon breeze, Xin Shuxiang continued to watch Zhang San’s departing figure.
From the side, Xin Jinxing glanced at her grandfather and said coldly, “Stop looking.
You hardly ever use that bow anyway, so what’s the harm in lending it?
Grandfather, you’re a grown man, please don’t be so petty, will you?”
Xin Shuxiang had already felt pained that his treasured bow had been lent out so casually, and hearing his daughter speak like that only added to his heartache.
“My precious Dragon Tongue Bow!
Normally, I only dare touch it during the New Year, and I can hardly bring myself to use it.
You just lent it to that youngster.
How can I not be heartbroken!”
As the Principal Officer Xin spoke, he was completely overtaken by tears.
Xin Jinxing looked disdainfully at her grandfather and pouted.
“Grandfather, I hope you’ll cry like this when I get married one day.
If not, I won’t agree!”
Having said that, Xin Jinxing turned to go back.
Upon hearing this, Xin Shuxiang suddenly realized sothing astounding and exclaid in shock, “What do you an?
Did Zhang San propose?”
Hearing this, Xin Jinxing, although aware that her grandfather had misunderstood, still felt a tinge of happiness and even blushed slightly.
However, just as she was about to turn around and clarify that such a thing had not occurred, she caught her father’s face breaking into a very content smile.
“Grandfather!
What do you an by that?
You really don’t want around the house, do you?
Are you that eager to marry off?”
After saying this, Xin Jinxing huffed heavily and turned to leave.
Xin Shuxiang stood at the front door.
He glanced once more at the Zhang San’s retreating figure, who had borrowed his treasured bow and probably would never return it, then turned his head to watch his daughter’s upset departure.
In that mont, Xin Shuxiang felt the need to cry a little longer.
Thus, Xin Shuxiang returned to his room and entered a small room at the back.
Although slightly dim, the room was very clean, clearly looked after regularly.
In the center of the room, there was the ancestral tablet of Mada Xin Shuxiang.
Xin Shuxiang walked in, sat on the floor, and stared blankly at his wife’s ancestral tablet.
“My dear wife!
It seems our daughter really has t soone she likes this ti.”
“I had a good feeling about Zhang San from the start, a close disciple of the Pharaoh, now a prominent figure in the Town Martial Office.
His prospects will surely be no less than mine.”
“But as a man, being successful is one aspect; more importantly, he must treat his wife well.
From what I see of Zhang San towards our daughter…
um…
I haven’t actually seen it yet.
I’ll finish up what I’m doing and then go take a secret look!”
“Rest easy, my wife.
Our daughter takes after you with her good judgnt.
No mistake there.
Hahahaha…”
…
At that mont, inside Jinlian Xin’s room.
Although it was still afternoon, the door was closed, and the windows were also shut.
Jinlian Xin lay in her bedding.
She gently licked her lips, still fantasizing about the handso man she had imagined.
“That Zhang San is really sothing,” she whispered.
Just as Jinlian Xin finished speaking softly, a woman who looked exactly like her appeared in the room, even the color of her hair was identical.
However, this woman’s pupils were void of irises, or rather, her entire pupils were pitch black like ink.
“You think he’s not bad, but your sister seems to like him quite a bit too.”
The Jinlian Xin in bed lifted her head to look at the woman in her room, wrapped in countless threads yet managing to cover her body.
“Sister won’t compete with for things.”
Hearing this, the thread-entwined “Jinlian Xin” just snickered coldly.
“Although you’ve been frail since childhood and your sister has accommodated you, giving you the best of everything, surely you don’t think that when it cos to n, she would do the sa?”
As she spoke, the woman looked disdainfully at the Jinlian Xin on the bed and said, “After all, he’s the man she brought ho.
Besides, with your frail body, competing for a man hardly seems like a battle you could win.”
The enraged Jinlian Xin on the bed sat up, and her blanket slid off, revealing an indescribable scene.
“Shut up.
Don’t speak that way about my sister.”
The thread-entwined “Jinlian Xin” quickly nodded and chuckled, saying, “Yes, yes, I’ll stop.
But just because I don’t say it doesn’t an so things don’t exist.”
As she spoke, the thread-entwined “Jinlian Xin” floated up from the floor and ca beside the bed, looking at Jinlian Xin.
“You always think I’m misleading you, but don’t forget…”
“I am you!”
