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

Xie Yunji suppressed the anger in his heart and prepared to go back to the study to calm down first, so as to avoid being discovered when he returned to Liufeng Courtyard.

The secret guard disappeared quietly. Just as Xie Yunji turned around and was about to leave, he saw Molan holding a lantern and walking towards him hurriedly.

Molan looked at Xie Yunji's unhappy expression and couldn't help feeling puzzled. It was clear that the young master was talking and laughing with the young lady when he came out just now.

At this moment, Xie Yunji seemed to have returned to his former cold and distant self.

She suddenly realized that the young master was so cold and distant, and he would only smile from the bottom of his heart when he was with the young lady.

"Where is the young lady? Why are you here?" Xie Yunji asked with a frown.

Molan answered carefully, "My lord, the young lady is cooking sweet soup for you in the small kitchen. She specifically asked me to come and get you to taste it. This is the skill that the young lady learned at the Taoist temple. She made it for you herself."

Xie Yunji was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that she would still care about him. It turned out that she was still thinking about him... In an instant, the anger that had risen up dissipated for the most part.

"Okay, I'll go back with you now." he blurted out.

After she finished speaking, he realized something and thought helplessly that he was so angry with her just now, so why did he rush to her just because she gave him a little benefit?

Xie Yunji looked at his own reflection in the Qinghu Lake, with anger yet expectation in his heart, he really looked worthless.

So this is what love is like, it makes those who love deeply become humble involuntarily.

He shook his head sadly and followed Molan back to Liufengyuan.

The next day.

Song Nihuan had never been able to let go of Pinga Fuyu, and when she heard about him and Princess Le Yi, she felt inexplicably heartbroken.

The heartache has never subsided.

She wanted to see him.

After much thought, she realized that the Jiang family and she were in the same boat, so she had to ask Mr. Jiang Zhong for clarification. Even if it took some time, she had to figure this out.

Pinga Fuyu has a special identity. If he died, there would definitely be no news at all.

He must still be alive.

She didn't believe that he would rape the princess. He was not that kind of person.

Soon, Song Nihuan arrived at the inn that she had agreed to meet with Jiang Zhongxin. Seeing that she was a little wary, Jiang Zhong said, "Your status is very different now. Everyone knows that Xie Yunji is infatuated with you. Why do you think of your family now and want to give them some benefits?"

Song Nihuan did not bother to argue with him any further and asked, "Master Jiang, do you know about the matter between Pinga Fuyu and Princess Leyi?"

Jiang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then angrily said: "What kind of person is that hostage of the Poli Kingdom? Are you really involved with him? I advise you to know what's good for you and be a good wife of Mr. Xie. Although my family doesn't need your protection, we don't want to be implicated because of you! How can we get involved with that kind of person!"

"What do you mean? How did you get implicated?" Song Nihuan asked hurriedly.

"You don't know?" Jiang Zhong frowned. Princess Le Yi left her fiefdom and became a nun, the second prince was demoted to a commoner, and Pinga Fuyu was seriously injured and unconscious. These three things made people dare not make any associations or suspicions, for fear that they would be silenced if they guessed something. He pondered for a moment, "What do you want to know?"

"I don't care about the princess. I want to know where Pinga Fuyu is now and what happened to her!"

Jiang Zhong stood up, opened the door, looked around the empty corridor, and whispered, "Pinga Fuyu is now on his last breath in the Lishan Palace! Who is in the Lishan Palace? There is also the Second Prince who was demoted to a commoner! This matter concerns the reputation of the royal family, don't spread it around!"

She stood there in a daze, and the chaotic thoughts in her mind seemed to gradually become clear. How could the Second Prince, who was once so popular, be suddenly demoted to a commoner and imprisoned with Pinga Fuyu...

After a while, she raised her eyes to look at him, "Master Jiang, can you help me with something?"

Jiang Zhong shook his head, "No! How can I be that capable! Besides, Pinga Fuyu is only breathing his last breath, why would you go to see him? The guards in the East Factory have prepared poison and knives for him, why would you want to get involved with him?"

Song Nihuan just felt cold all over. She couldn't just stay in the Xie family and enjoy life. There were so many times when she encountered danger and it was Pinga Fuyu who rescued her. How could she hide when he was in trouble!

No matter whether he was really on the verge of death or was imprisoned and tortured, she would not feel at ease until she saw him.

Having made up her mind, she no longer hesitated and sneered, "Your Excellency refuses me without asking why? That's unfortunate. Your Excellency must agree to what I want to do, otherwise... I will make the events of the past public, and let the world see how Jiang Shi used a trick to get close to the Xie family. None of us will be able to survive!"

Jiang Zhong was shocked and said, "...You! You don't care about the relationship between you and Xie Hanlin? If he knew your identity, would he still love you so much?"

Song Nihuan also felt sorry for Xie Yunji, but Pinga Fuyu seemed to have hooked her heart with an invisible thread, making her heart hang in the air and unable to let go. She had to see him to feel relieved.

She said calmly, "Whether he is willing to take me or not is another matter. Anyway, I have no children these years, and I will be free when I leave. This matter cannot be blamed on me. Everything was arranged by you, Lord Jiang. Lord Jiang wanted to repay the favor. If your daughter is gone, you will find someone else to give to the Xie family. If you do such a thing and let others know, the only one who will be hurt is your reputation."

Jiang Zhong regretted his decision. He shouldn't have found such a vicious woman! She was free from worries, but what about the reputation of the Jiang family? If this matter was exposed, how could he still serve as an official in the court?

Because of being related to the eldest branch of the Xie family, the benefits he has gained over the years are tangible, especially the son-in-law Xie Yunji, who is expected to rise to a high position in the near future and enter the cabinet, which is extremely prestigious. For this reason, people in the court have to be polite to him when they see him.

He really couldn't bear to let go of such a big fat fish!

Jiang Zhong's face turned gloomy, his eyes flickered, and his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

He recalled the news he had heard a few days ago: a relative of his servant was a eunuch in the inner court, and was recently assigned to work at the Lishan Palace. This coincidence gave him an idea, perhaps he could follow this person's path.

Mount Li is a deserted place, and guarding the demoted people in the palace is a tough job, but it is still possible to do it as long as some benefits are given.

Jiang Zhong knew very well that the Xie family was very powerful. It was vital for him to cling to the Xie family and he must not lose the support of the Xie family.

He gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
