Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

The two brothers walked to the small table in the yard and sat down. Xie Chengyi looked at the red mark on Xie Chengyin's face and asked with concern: "Does it still hurt?"

Xie Chengyin shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

He has thick skin and can withstand just a slap.

Xie Chengyi looked at Xie Chengyin's calm face, took a deep breath, and said earnestly: "I know you are not an impulsive person. What happened today must have happened for a reason. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. However, as for the Xiao family, I still hope you can apologize to the second Miss Xiao."

Xie Chengyin lowered his head and did not respond to Xie Chengyi's words. Although he knew that what he said was indeed hurtful, when he thought that his brother would die because of her in the future, he could not help but hate her in his heart, let alone apologize to her.

Xie Chengyi also felt Xie Chengyin's inner reluctance. He didn't know when his brother had a feud with the Xiao family, but he knew his brother and thought that his brother would not say such hurtful words for no reason.

But his brother didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask any further questions.

He patted Xie Chengyin on the shoulder and consoled him, "Okay, if you don't want to go, forget it. After all, you and I are a family. My apology is no different from yours. I will come to your house to apologize tomorrow."

"No! Don't go. I said that. It has nothing to do with you."

Xie Chengyin met Xie Chengyi's gentle eyes, his eyes full of stubbornness.

He didn't want to go, and he didn't want his brother to go for him.

"But Miss Xiao Er is innocent. I asked for the marriage. What you said is too cruel to her. She is a girl and should not have to endure this. Besides, she does have a physical disability and her mind is more sensitive than ordinary people."

Xie Chengyin stared with his eyes wide open, and said excitedly: "The truth is a bit cruel, but you don't love her but marry her, isn't it more cruel to her? Brother, why do you want to marry Xiao Yizhu? There are so many good girls in Dongdu. Except for her, I will support you whoever you want to marry. Brother, can you change someone?"

At the end, his tone was almost pleading. He understood his brother's temper and knew that he would do what he decided to do. No matter what others said, it would be of no use unless he changed his mind.

But he still wanted to try his best.

Xie Chengyi smiled gently, "Do you know why I want to marry her?"

"Isn't it because you feel sorry for her?"

"To be honest, this is part of the reason, but I feel more gratitude and responsibility towards her."

Xie Chengyin did not interrupt. He just looked at Xie Chengyi quietly, waiting for him to continue.

"The year I inherited the title of Marquis of Yongding, I was ordered to go to Fuyang Mountain to quell the bandits. However, due to my carelessness, I fell into the enemy's trap and was trapped in Fuyang Mountain for three days."

"Fuyang Mountain is isolated and the news could not be spread out. I could only pretend to be a mountain dweller and escape from Fuyang Mountain to Huizhou Prefecture for help. But the bandits blocked all exits from Fuyang Mountain, so I could not get out. At this time, I met Miss Xiao Er who was returning to Fuyang to visit her relatives."

"She was only eight years old at the time, but she said she was willing to take me away from Fuyang Mountain to Huizhou Prefecture, so I got on her carriage. We left the Fuyang Mountain checkpoint smoothly, but not long after we left, the bandits noticed something was wrong and chased after us."

"She only brought a dozen guards with her, who were no match for the bandits. I had no choice but to flee with her. Fortunately, we were very close to Huizhou Prefecture. I breathed a sigh of relief after entering Huizhou Prefecture. Just when I was about to thank her for her help, she collapsed."

"It turned out that she injured her leg when she first encountered the bandits, but she never mentioned it to me until we arrived safely in Huizhou Prefecture. But the leg injury was delayed for too long, and after treatment, she still became disabled."

"I made the decision at that time that if she couldn't get married in the future because of her leg injury, I would marry her."

"So, you asked His Majesty for a marriage?"

Xie Chengyi nodded, "Yes."

"But she is only fifteen years old. How do you know that she won't meet a good match in the future? As the daughter of the prime minister, she is loved by her father and brother, and she has a sister who is a princess. There will definitely be countless people who will come to her to ask for her hand in marriage. You don't love her, and marrying her will be a waste of time for both of you."

Xie Chengyi shook his head helplessly. "I saw it with my own eyes that day. She was ridiculed by her sister and hated by her father because of her leg disease. Although I don't love her, I can protect her and give her equal treatment that a normal person should have."

Xie Chengyin was silent. At this moment, he could understand his brother's thoughts. His brother was using a marriage to repay the debt he owed to Xiao Yizhui for saving his life.

If he didn't know about his future brother's death, he might have supported their marriage. However, isn't it ironic that she saved her brother's life many years ago and took his life back many years later?

Xie Chengyin suddenly recalled his past life, the day when his brother married Xiao Yiju.

On the wedding day, the smiling woman covered her face with a red fan, and her brother looked full of vigor and vitality as if he had returned to his youth.

If it weren't for the fire, the two of them might have been happy.

Can……

Scarlet snakes of fire swept through his mind, searing his memories.

Xie Chengyin came to his senses and said, "No, absolutely not."

Xie Chengyin suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart and said to Xie Chengyi solemnly: "Brother, since it is just to repay this favor, then I will do it for you."

Xie Chengyi didn't understand what Xie Chengyin meant by this, his eyes were full of confusion, and then he heard Xie Chengyin's firm voice: "I will marry her."

If it wasn't for his brother marrying her, everything would have been different. As a person who had a second life, he could have thought of ways to avoid all these and maybe even get a glimpse of the truth behind the destruction of the mansion in the previous life.

Anyway, he is the groom, and the worst that can happen is that he and Xiao Yizhui die in the fire together.

He was willing to exchange his life for his brother's.

Xie Chengyi was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He looked at Xie Chengyin in disbelief, "A Yin, do you know what you are talking about?"

Xie Chengyin said calmly: "Brother, I know, I think it very clearly, I am serious, not joking."

At this point, Xie Chengyi became even more confused about Xie Chengyin's resolute opposition to his marrying Xiao Yiju.

I would rather marry her myself than let him marry her.

He naturally wouldn't think that his brother said this because he liked Miss Xiao Er.

He could see clearly the way his brother looked at Miss Thirteen of the Yan family, that was love.

So there must be some hidden story behind this.

Xie Chengyi was not a fool. He gradually discovered clues from Xie Chengyin's series of actions. He asked, "Will it be disadvantageous for me if I marry Miss Xiao Er?"

Xie Chengyin knew that his brother was smart and perceptive, but he didn't expect that he could guess the hidden truth so quickly.

He was reluctant to say it because he was worried that his brother would not change his decision if he knew it.

He suddenly smiled, looking relaxed: "How could that be? I did this for Qiu Fuqiu. You don't know how much she likes you. She has pursued you for so many years with so much hardship. If you marry someone else in the end, she will be so sad that she will want to commit suicide."
