But I Came at a Bad Time

I am happy with my husband's brother / The day I got married was the first time I saw Xie Yu. He was marrying for my younger brother. He was dressed in plain clothes and had black hair, riding on a maroon horse. I just took one look at him and felt panicked. / Goodbye Xie Yu, this is the day when the bride returns to peace. My husband has been ill in bed for a long time, so the Xie family let me go home alone. Halfway through the road, we encountered bandits. Horses neighed and sharp weapons clashed outside the carriage. The servants fled in defeat, while I sat in the carriage and clutched half a pair of scissors tightly. The car curtain was opened, and the dazzling skylight came in. I closed my eyes in despair and stabbed myself with the scissors unwillingly. "It's me." Xie Yu's voice was calm and restrained, "I'm sorry." I opened my eyes in surprise and saw a hand as slender as a bamboo jade reaching into the sedan curtain and holding me firmly on the horse's back. He rode his horse through the bandits and turned into the mountain road. I tightened the flying robe behind him. The early spring wind was biting, and I smelled the fragrance of sandalwood on his clothes, which was calm and peaceful. / A year later, her husband died of illness. My mother-in-law called me a dead star and wanted me to be buried with her son. I was pushed to the ground, and my mother-in-law tried to force me to drink poisonous soup. When I was struggling, I thought of the thank you on the horse on the day I got married. It would be great if he was wearing wedding clothes. I smiled and stopped struggling. When the poisonous soup entered my mouth, there was a loud "bang" and the door of the mourning hall fell to the ground. Xie Yu came with his sword, kicked his mother-in-law away, and slowly squatted down in front of me. He wiped the poisonous liquid from the corner of my mouth with his thumb. He tried his best to suppress his overwhelming emotions and said to me steadily, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Reading Guide 1. The text is written in the third person 2.
