She did not respond to him, but her eyes widened in the darkness, as if she wanted to penetrate the endless darkness and see the truth hidden in it.

A string in my mind is taut, as if it will break at any time, and it seems as if something important deep in my memory is struggling desperately to break out.

The way he touched her head was so familiar that it made her feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy and trust.

Brother...brother?

Her mind was awakened at this moment, and vague memories began to emerge. Her brother was two years younger than her, but he always took care of her like a little sister.

However, when she tried to recall more things about her brother, a chaotic stream of thoughts suddenly emerged in her mind, like a tangled mess that was difficult to sort out.

These thoughts tried to condense into clear pictures, but every time she tried to grasp them, they dissipated like smoke, leaving only blankness and confusion.

He continued, "I'll go first. When you've made up your mind, send your maid to find me."

She felt a tightness in her chest and was uncomfortable.

Just as Pinga Fuyu opened the door and prepared to go out, a strange yet familiar syllable came out of her mouth - "Lan..."

Upon hearing this word, Pinga Fuyu's body suddenly stiffened.

What? His breathing became rapid and his heart beat fast.

Song Nihuan held her chest tightly. She didn't know why she said this word, but she could feel an indescribable sense of suffocation. She couldn't remember what this word meant, but she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Time seemed to freeze, and Pingjia Fuyu stood there quietly. After a long while, he slowly spoke in a low and gentle voice: "Lan what?"

Song Nihuan leaned weakly against the wall, with a dejected look on her face.

She shook her head and said softly, "Nothing... Shao Cheng, take care."

The corners of Pingjia Fuyu's mouth rose slightly, with a hint of bitterness and helplessness.

It’s Lan Zhi.

Song Lan stopped.

"Do you really like Xie Hanlin?" He turned to look at her and asked softly in the darkness.

Song Nihuan clearly saw the concern for her in his eyes, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Who is he?

He nodded in her silence, "If you don't like him, you won't be like this."

The right given to men in this world is to have three wives and four concubines. Even if the mistress forbids them to take concubines, men can still keep mistresses and seek pleasure in brothels.

It can't be stopped at all.

If you stop them, you will be laughed at.

His sister couldn't help being jealous, so she hid here. Was she going to end her life like this?

No, he would never allow it.

The idea in his mind became more and more firm.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"Young Master, take care," she said.

He waved at her and smiled, a smile that seemed real in the dark night, "Go back! Cover yourself with the quilt!"

Song Nihuan looked at his receding back and her eyes inexplicably became red.

The sun's shadow slowly moved across the window of the Supervisory Council, emitting a faint light behind Xie Yunji, outlining a layer of gilded light for his tall and handsome figure.

Pinga Fuyu put down the teacup and said with a half-smile, "Master Xie is indeed a handsome man who can easily attract bad luck in love."

The gentlemen were all officials in the court, and they had to say some polite words when they met. Pinga Fuyu had always been good at speaking, but I didn't expect that this time he would be so rude and blunt.

Xie Yunji slowly straightened his clothes and said, "What brings you here, Junior Prime Minister Pingjia?"

Pinga Fuyu said casually: "Master Xie is really a patient person. His wife has gone to the mountains to practice Taoism, but Master Xie is still as calm as a mountain."

He suddenly stopped talking and said with a playful smile, "Alas, I went to the mountains to play yesterday and got stuck in the rain. I found a Taoist temple and was about to stay overnight when I saw a familiar figure. I wiped my eyes and saw that it was your wife."

"Your Madam is truly virtuous. She went up the mountain to pray for a child. I find it strange. How could she have conceived a child without being with Master Xie?"

Xie Yunji's gaze shot towards him coldly, like ice and snow.

Xie Ming had said before that after Song Nihuan had completed the agenda of taking a concubine, she would voluntarily go up to the mountain to practice meditation.

He knew that she didn't want to see him for the time being. He could understand her grievance and anger. Thinking that this was a turbulent time, it would be okay for her to go up the mountain to avoid the limelight. So he calmed down and didn't go to look for her.

As soon as she went up the mountain, he followed her!

Is it so inseparable?

Xie Yunji frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Pinjia Shaocheng has overstepped the boundaries. How can you casually comment on other people's wives?"

A wife is completely different from a concubine, a maid, and a concubine.

Except for the wife, all others can be given away as gifts or used for sexual intercourse.

Xie Yunji received the most orthodox ideological education. Even if he did despicable things, he still could not tolerate others talking about his wife's affairs.

"Other people's wives?" Pingjia Fuyu asked thoughtfully, "After Lord Xie marries Princess Leyi, will there be a place for your wife in the mansion?"

"I got along well with your wife right from the start, and I have no improper thoughts about her. I just despise what Lord Xie did!"

Xie Yunji was annoyed by Pinga Fuyu's androgynous appearance. He didn't believe that Song Nihuan would abandon him for such a person, but he couldn't go to her to ask for clarification now.

He disdained to get entangled with him again, turned around and said to Xie Ming indifferently: "Send him out!"

Xie Ming wanted to ask this flamboyant gentleman to leave, but Pinga Fuyu walked slowly and steadily, as if the Supervisory Office was his backyard. "Master Xie, are you angry now? Then should I be angry when Master Xie and my fiancée were having an unclear relationship?"

"Fiancée?" Xie Yunji asked in surprise.

"Princess Le Yi." He said with a smile.
