After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

In this case, what Xie Yunji faced outside was far more difficult than she had imagined.

If it wasn't difficult, I wouldn't be trapped in prison and no one would care about me...

Song Nihuan hugged him distressedly, feeling both scared and glad that he could tell her this, and whispered, "I was willful and thought too little... I'm sorry for making you suffer these days. Is the work of the Supervisory Office so difficult? What should I do? Can I find a way to postpone it?"

Xie Yunji was relieved and pleased about her concern for him, but he did not show it on his face and still looked gloomy.

He said sadly, "Your Majesty, how could you not know that this job is difficult? The Xie family has been a family of integrity for generations, and scholars all look up to the Xie family. The Xie family often represents integrity and the character of scholars. Your Majesty has given me this offensive job, just like roasting me on the fire to see who can suppress whom, the character of scholars or the noble families."

"The struggle between the poor, the rich, the royal family, the civil officials, and the military officers has never stopped. Ni Huan, should I not tell you this? I just want you to be happy, don't think about these things..." He hesitated, his eyes filled with heartache for her, "and don't stand up for me like you did last time."

Song Nihuan lowered her head and sniffed. She felt sorry for him and said softly, "Let's go back to Xie's house. I'll go with you now."

Xie Yunji lowered his eyelashes, with a gloomy light of success in his eyes. He raised the corners of his lips and nodded, "Okay."

The autumn weather in Yunjing is sunny, windless and cloudless.

Mrs. Wei's yard was very lively, with various fabrics for clothes piled together, preparing to cut new fabrics for winter.

The maid came over and said, "Madam, the young master and the young mistress are back."

Madam Wei was startled, but then she said naturally, "Then ask them to come over and choose the colors they like. Oh, by the way, they just came back and need to rest for a while. Go and tell them that they don't need to rush to the upper room to greet me."

The maid nodded and turned to reply.

The cloth in Mrs. Wei's hand was a dark blue brocade, which was a particularly beautiful color for winter wear.

She looked at the material in her hand and the person she thought of was not Mr. Xie, but Xie Yunji.

She suddenly remembered that three years ago, when she was still in mourning, she was measuring Xie Yunji's body. He was so close to her. At that time, there was only Xie Yunji in her heart and eyes. As his stepmother, she saw that he was cold and heartless and was not moved by any woman.

He never imagined that one day he would be so infatuated with a woman.

Yuquan Mountain is located in the suburbs of Beijing and is not easy to climb, but he almost lived on the mountain just to sleep on the same bed with the woman.

She didn't want to go down the mountain, so he went up to accompany her.

Mrs. Wei was puzzled. What was so good about that woman that she was worthy of his love? He didn't even care about her inability to have children. Such a man was only found in storybooks.

Which of the noble ladies in the capital was not jealous and itchy?

She was even more helpless. As his stepmother, she had to watch him and that woman in harmony.

But after these few years, she has taken her heart back from Xie Yunji, and since she is usually with Song Nihuan in the house, Mrs. Wei is no longer jealous.

But I just feel regretful. Why can she still be loved by her husband after marriage, while I am just a decoration in charge of household chores?

Madam Wei lowered her eyes and sighed, folded the cloth in her hands, picked out another piece of snow-blue cloth, and said to the maid waiting beside her: "Send these two pieces of cloth to Liufeng Courtyard, and tell the young master and the young lady that the master is traveling outside and has not returned yet, so there is no need to come to the upper room to greet him."

Out of sight out of mind.

Mrs. Wei's wet nurse knew what her young lady was thinking. She also knew that her young lady had never been able to marry Xie Hanlin when she was still a child, and there would be no chance of that happening in the future. Over the years, her young lady's ambition had faded, but she could not help feeling sad when she saw other couples enjoying such loving affection.

The old woman whispered, "Madam, didn't Doctor Wen tell you when he came to take your pulse that the young lady has irregular menstruation and is very cold, especially having trouble having children. She has been taking medicine for so long, but it's been ineffective. It's only been a few years, and when a woman gets old and ugly, without a capable family and no children, what do you think will happen to her in the second half of her life?"

"Madam, in the past three years, many ladies have been favored by the master. No matter how much the master fertilizes her, there is nothing he can do if her land is not good. Don't be sad and depressed. You have such a good life now. The master is not here, and you have the final say in the mansion. Which of the master's concubines can surpass you in honor and favor? I don't know how many people envy you!"

Madam Wei knew that the old woman was trying to comfort her. She thought that her life was too comfortable and that was why she always felt that something was missing.

What's missing...

When I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, I found that the cold bed beside me was missing a gentle and affectionate man. When I saw others enjoying the music and singing, I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself.

Forget it, it's just a fuss for no reason.

Madam Wei said to the maid, "Madam, be careful. You can't stop talking. The young lady is the apple of the young master's eye. If the young master knows what you said just now, you will be in trouble. Don't blame me for not remembering our friendship."

"Miss, Miss!" The old woman was anxious and called Madam Wei as she did at the Duke's Mansion, "I just saw that there were no outsiders, so I wanted to reassure you."

Madam Wei said thoughtfully, "If a man like him really wants to punish you... I can't protect you even if I do everything I can. Don't look at him as gentle and elegant on weekdays. Oh, no more, no more."

The old woman nodded repeatedly, "I'll save you the trouble. I'll make sure I keep my mouth shut from now on!"

At night, by the Qing Lake.

The moonlight shone on half of Xie Yunji's face. His face was ashen, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his heart was as cold as frost.

The secret guard stood in the dark with his head bowed, anticipating his master's wrath, and bowed his head in agreement.

Xie Yunji was filled with hatred. Were Song Nihuan and Pingjia Fuyu innocent? If they were innocent, why would she be so sad and cry for him? If they were innocent, why did she send someone to send a letter to the Jiang family as soon as she returned home!

Well, he thought she really felt sorry for him and that was why she agreed to go down the mountain with him.

It turned out that she had come down the mountain to inquire about the news of Pingjia Fuyu! She even knew to bypass him and write directly to the Jiang family!

Seeing that he had been standing there for a long time without saying anything, the secret guard whispered, "Sir, Shuanghua has been knocked unconscious. Our drug is colorless and tasteless but has a short effect. I'm afraid that the girl will wake up soon. What do you think we should do with this letter? Should I put it back to its original place, or should I deal with the letter and the girl together?"

Xie Yunji lowered his eyes and looked at the letter in his hand. Her handwriting was the handwriting he had personally taught her to write!

She missed the other man so much that she couldn't help crying in front of him. He felt so anxious when she cried for others that he wanted to tell her that it was he who had harmed the Pinga Fuyu!

He really wanted to tear that person into pieces! He also hated Song Nihuan for always making him suspicious. He had given her his heart, so why did she still lie to him like this!

Does she really love him? Without Xie Tan, there are other men, right?

The beast in Xie Yunji's heart burned him to ashes. He suppressed his hatred and said, "Put the letter back and don't let Shuanghua find it."

"Shuanghua is not one of ours. Sir, do you want to get rid of her as soon as possible?" asked the secret guard.

Xie Yunji said: "Keep it for now."

The secret guard said again: "I have to say a few words. I can see that you and the young lady are in love. The young lady must have been bewitched by the villain."

Xie Yunji was indifferent to the secret guard's words, with a sinister look flashing across his eyes. "Use connections at the Mount Li Palace and find a way to get her in smoothly."

He wanted to see what she could do for another man!
