After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

On the way back to the Marquis' Mansion, Gu Jin was obviously in a good mood. He hummed a little tune and fiddled with the jade necklace around his waist.

The slender jade fingers, as tender as green onions, entwine and flutter among the colorful necklaces, which is very beautiful.

She just put her hands on Huo Sichen's shoulders and rubbed his head.

Xie Ran inexplicably felt that Gu Jin's hands were very noisy at this moment, making him want to cut the necklace into pieces.

"What did you do just now?" Gu Jin felt that the air pressure in the carriage was a little low, so he asked casually.

Xie Ran smiled, "Are you concerned about me?"

Gu Jin hesitated for a moment, then raised the corner of his lips and said with a smile in his eyes: "I am concerned about you."

Who made the other person the fattest sheep in her sheepfold!

There was no wave in Xie Ran's eyes. Gu Jin was the best at acting cute. He looked very intimate with you but in fact he was not serious at all.

But Xie Ran still said truthfully: "I just found someone who can persuade Master to give up elbow."

"Oh! There is such a powerful person in the world, could it be the Kitchen God?" Gu Jin felt that getting the fat old man to give up meat was as difficult as getting a drug addict to quit drugs.

Xie Ran closed his eyes and took a nap, making it clear that he didn't want to pay any more attention to her.

Gu Jin curled his lips, lifted a corner of the car curtain and admired the quaint street scene.

Although there is no modern bustling and lively life here, Gu Jin feels that such a slow-paced life is not bad.

It's quite interesting to make a little money every day by taking advantage of the free stuff, and to make a pot of green tea when you're bored.

But now Gu Jin doesn't know that she is already in the vortex of power struggle. The gears of fate had already started turning the moment she married Xie Ran.

……

In the dense forest outside Beijing, a man with a face full of scars and a hideous look was holding a child of four or five years old in his arms and holding a young woman by his left hand, and was desperately running into the mountains.

An arrow came through the air and pierced the woman's body.

"Juan Niang!"

The man shouted heartbreakingly. He turned around to help Juanniang up. Juanniang spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted with all her strength, "Don't worry about me! Take the stone and run away!"

The little boy didn't know what was going on. When he saw his mother vomiting blood, he was scared and burst into tears.

"Today, none of you three can escape!"

Looking at the two men in black who were chasing after him, the man's eyes were red with lust, "The master clearly promised to let us go!"

The man in black sneered, "Who said the master didn't let you go? Didn't he let you run away from the capital?

You see, this is a good place for Feng Shui, it would be nice for you three to rest in peace.”

Looking at his wife's closed eyes and listening to the baby's crying, the man finally regretted it at this moment. He should not have embarked on this path of no return for that little temptation. In the end, he harmed himself and his family.

"My master wants to kill me and I have nothing to say, but my child is innocent. I only beg you to spare his life." The man knelt on his knees and begged bitterly.

The leading black-clad man sneered, "If you don't remove the root of the trouble, it will leave trouble. Do you still want to keep you alive to seek revenge on us in the future?"

"Why waste time talking to him? Let's deal with it quickly and go back to have a drink!"

The man's eyes were bloodshot. He threw the stone in his arms back, took out the dagger from his waist and rushed forward.

With the determination to die, he was as brave and fearless as a trapped beast. The two men in black were forced back several steps by him and even had bruises on their bodies.

The man in black was furious. He didn't expect that two of them could not defeat one person. In his rage, he attacked more and more fiercely. After several moves, the man was finally outnumbered and fell in a pool of blood.

"We wanted to give you a quick death, but you insisted on asking for trouble. So don't blame us for being ruthless!"

The man in black walked towards Shi Tou who was crying at the top of his lungs with a knife in hand. Even though the man's eyes were filled with grief and unwillingness, his body could no longer support his consciousness.

Just as the black-clothed man's steel knife was stabbing towards Shi Tou's chest, a figure suddenly fell from the sky, with a cold silver light flashing from his black clothes. One of the black-clothed men had his throat cut by a dagger before he could react.

"Xuan Yu, didn't I tell you to hold back? How come you killed one with just one move?" Mo Yin walked out from the depths of the dense forest with a smile.

The man in black was shocked when he saw Mo Yin's expression, "You are Xie Ran's man!"

He raised his body and tried to run, but Xuan Yu shot a flying knife and hit the black-clothed man in the knee.

The man in black fell heavily to the ground, just like Juanniang who had just become a fish on the chopping board.

Mo Yin immediately stepped forward and tried to cut off the black-clothed man's jaw, but he was a step too late. The black-clothed man had already bitten open the poison sac hidden in his mouth and died of poisoning.

"Damn it! He acted so quickly!" Mo Yin rushed out almost at the moment Xuan Yu made his move, but in the end he was still too slow.

"It's useless, they are all dead men..."

Mo Yin looked down at the dying man with cold eyes. His master's guess was correct. The person behind the scenes had indeed taken action.

"Dad, I want Mom!" Shitou knelt down and crawled to the man's side, crying out of breath.

The man was almost out of breath. He used up his last bit of strength to grab Shitou's hand and said, "They are good people. From now on, you just follow them and be obedient..."

"Hey, hey, hey, I don't think I ever said I would raise a son for you!" Mo Yin said unhappily when he saw him making the decision on his own.

The man knew this very well. Xie Ran had expected that he would end up like this, so he let him go.

If the master is a bad person, then Xie Ran is not a good person either.

But now he had no other choice, at least they had saved the stone...

The man sat up with great effort, holding up the stone's waist and holding him in his arms for the last time.

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the capital. "The person who wants to kill Xie Ran is over there, Zhao..."

"Zhao what? You should finish talking before you die!"

The man shut up, and glanced sideways at Juanniang, who had already died. A hint of tenderness gradually emerged in his dilated pupils.

It's all over now, that's good...

The man's hands dropped down, and he completely lost his breath.

Mo Yin was almost mad. This guy did it on purpose. He could have said the whole thing, but he had to leave that one sentence out!

In the man's eyes, Xie Ran was as despicable and shameless as his master, and he didn't want to see either of them succeed.

The cry of Shitou echoed throughout the dense forest. Xuan Yu frowned, then stood up and walked away.

"Wait for me, there's a little one here!"

Mo Yin's head ached from his crying, and she could only threaten him, "If you cry again, I won't bury your parents, and will let wild beasts eat their bodies."

Shitou immediately shut his mouth, but his tears continued to fall. His flushed little face made him look even more pitiful.

Mo Yin had no choice but to find a place nearby to bury the two people shallowly with branches and stones, thinking that he would find someone to bury them after returning.

Shitou curled up on a rock and fell asleep, his little body trembling from time to time like a dirty puppy.

Mo Yin sighed helplessly, and finally carried him back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Xie Ran looked at the stone in Mo Yin's arms and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Seeing Xie Ran's unexpected look, Mo Yin got nervous and accidentally pinched Shi Tou. Shi Tou woke up in shock, looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings and started crying. His voice was so loud that Xie Ran felt his heart tremble.

Gu Jin came to the study to deliver Lin Danqing's medicine to Xie Ran and happened to see this scene.

She looked at the stone in Mo Yin's arms, then at Xie Ran, and immediately turned around and closed the door. "You are not careful about such a big thing. Be careful not to be seen by others."

Mo Yin was a little surprised that the master trusted the young mistress so much that he even told her about this matter.

"I didn't expect your illegitimate child to be this big. Look at that little nose. He looks exactly like you."

Xie Ran: “…”

Mo Yin: “…”
