Chapter 115 Enough is enough
Xie Yunpeng's cheeks flushed and he covered his stomach embarrassedly.
"Yunpeng, what's wrong with you?" Gu Zhiyi asked softly. She walked to Xie Yunpeng and patted him on the back gently.
Xie Yunpeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Madam, I just ate a little too much, it's okay."
Gu Zhiyi frowned. Xie Yunpeng has liked eating it since he was a child, but he always ate in moderation. Today was the first time this happened.
"Yunpeng, do you know? How can your mother feel at ease with you like this?" Gu Zhiyi said softly, her eyes full of worry.
"Mom, I understand. I will pay attention to it." Xie Yunpeng nodded and said seriously.
Gu Zhiyi looked at Xie Yunpeng, her eyes full of relief.
"Yunpeng, do you know? Mother has always been very pleased to have a son like you." Gu Zhiyi said softly.
When Xie Yunpeng heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart, and he looked at Gu Zhiyi with gratitude in his eyes.
"Mom, I will work hard and make you proud of me." Xie Yunpeng said seriously.
Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, and that smile was like a peach blossom blooming in spring, warm and bright. She gently patted Xie Yunpeng's hand, and her eyes revealed endless love.
"Yunpeng, mother knows that you have been working hard, but life is a long journey. You must remember that you must not only have ambitions, but also know how to judge the situation and be good at coping with changes." Gu Zhiyi said slowly, with a hint of depth in her tone.
Xie Yunpeng nodded. He knew that his mother's words were meaningful. He pondered for a moment, then said seriously: "Mom, I understand. I will remember your teachings and not only study hard, but also learn to adapt."
Gu Zhiyi looked at her son's gradually mature eyes, and a sense of pride surged in her heart. She sighed softly and said, "Yunpeng, you know? The glory of Ningguo Mansion is not only your responsibility, but also your brothers'. You must learn to live in harmony with them and support them together."
Xie Yunpeng frowned slightly. He understood what his mother meant, but he felt helpless.
Several of his brothers were not friendly to him, and some were even hostile to him. But he also understood that this was what he had to face as the heir to the Ningguo Mansion.
"Mom, I will do my best." Xie Yunpeng said in a deep voice.
"Yunpeng, do you know? When I married into the Ningguo Mansion, I was also sincere. However, as time went by, I found that marriage is not as simple as I thought." Gu Zhiyi said slowly, with a slight tremor in her voice.
Xie Yunpeng looked at his mother and felt a surge of pity in his heart.
His mother had given so much for him. He gently held his mother's hand and said softly, "Mom, don't worry, I will let you live a happy life."
Gu Zhiyi looked at her son's eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She patted her son's hand gently, and then said: "Yunpeng, mother has something else to ask of you. Your sister, she..."
Xie Yunpeng immediately understood what his mother meant. His sister Xie Huixuan had rarely returned home since she married into the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion.
My sister's marriage was not happy, but she never told anyone.
"Mom, I will go visit my sister." Xie Yunpeng said firmly.
Gu Zhiyi nodded with relief.
In the evening, Xie Yunpeng returned to his room and found a letter on the table.
He opened the envelope and found a letter from his sister Xie Huixuan. In the letter, his sister confessed her pain to him, and it turned out that her marriage life was not as happy as the outside world thought.
Xie Yunpeng's eyes stayed on the letter for a moment, and a feeling of sadness surged in his heart. He held the letter tightly and slowly walked to the window. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling in the quiet Xie Mansion.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in. It was Xie Huixuan, she was wearing a light blue dress, with a complex expression on her face, showing both worry and determination.
"Yunpeng, have you seen the letter?" Huixuan's voice trembled a little.
Xie Yunpeng turned around, looked at his sister, and nodded: “I’ve seen it, sister, you, I will find a way to help you.”
Xie Huixuan's eyes were red. She walked to her brother and gently held his hand: "Thank you, Yunpeng. In fact, I have always wanted to tell you that I am not happy in this marriage."
Xie Yunpeng frowned, his face showing concern: "Then... is that person not nice to you?"
Xie Huixuan sighed, her face showing endless fatigue: "He is okay to me, but his family... they always bully me and insult me. I... I'm really fed up."
Xie Yunpeng's expression became more and more solemn. He clenched his fists, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"Sister, don't worry, I will help you get rid of all this." Xie Yunpeng said in a firm tone.
Xie Huixuan looked at her brother, her eyes sparkling with gratitude: "Yunpeng, are you really willing to do this for me?"
"Of course, we are family. If I don't help you, who will?" Xie Yunpeng said affectionately.
The next day, Xie Yunpeng came back from outside with a hint of joy on his face: "Sister, I found someone who may be able to help us."
Xie Huixuan's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Who is it?"
"He is a friend of mine named Lin Yuan. His father is a minister in the court. Perhaps he can provide us with some help." Xie Yunpeng said confidently.
Xie Huixuan smiled slightly, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Then... when are we going to see him?"
"We'll go early tomorrow morning." Xie Yunpeng said, turning around to pack his luggage.
The next morning, Xie Yunpeng and Xie Huixuan went to the Lin residence together. Along the way, both of them seemed a little nervous.
Arriving at the Lin residence, Xie Yunpeng and Xie Huixuan were led into an exquisite living room. Soon, Lin Yuan walked in, and he looked at Xie Huixuan with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Thank you, Miss. I've heard of you for a long time. Yunpeng, your sister is so beautiful, so stunning." Lin Yuan praised.
Xie Huixuan smiled slightly, with a look of gratitude on her face: "Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Xie Yunpeng looked at Lin Yuan and said bluntly: "Brother Lin, I came here this time to ask you for a favor."
Lin Yuan nodded: "Yunpeng, just tell me, as long as I can help, I will never refuse."
Xie Yunpeng told Lin Yuan everything about Xie Huixuan's experience. After hearing this, Lin Yuan's face became solemn.
"This matter is of great importance. I need to go back and discuss it with my father." Lin Yuan said, frowning.
Xie Yunpeng and Xie Huixuan looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. However, they had no better way but to wait.
When Lin Yuan returned to the Lin Mansion, it was already dark. The door of the Lin Mansion was open, and the servants were busy preparing for the family dinner in the evening. Lin Yuan went directly to the study and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Lin Guokun's low voice came from inside.
Lin Yuan pushed the door open and saw Lin Guokun sitting at the desk, reviewing official documents.
Lin Yuan bowed and said, "Father, I have something to discuss with you."
Lin Guokun looked up at Lin Yuan, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt: "What's the matter that makes you so anxious?"
