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

From the northern border to Yunjing, if you take the official road all the way, it will only take five or six days if you travel fast.

The person sent by Xie Tan came back.

"This trip to Yunjing was really fruitful. The weather in Yunjing is about to change. It's time for Your Highness to go back." The subordinate said, "As for the Xie family, the general ordered me to visit the Xie family and plant spies around Madam Xie."

Xie Tan was startled, lowered his eyes, and hid the uneasy feeling in his heart.

First, he asked about the power change in Yunjing in detail, and then asked about Xiao Xuan's recent situation.

As expected, Xiao Xuan wrote to the emperor to request additional military supplies for the Northern Border Army. The emperor was very generous and the Sixth Prince volunteered to show his ability, so he took the matter and undertook it together with the Ministry of Revenue.

After finishing speaking, the subordinate raised his eyes and looked at Xie Tan, who was stunned.

Those who were able to enter Xie Tan’s tent were his brothers who had been through thick and thin with him. How could they not know what he was thinking?

The general has been alone all these years, and it turns out that he has someone in his heart.

It's not good to have someone you love, but you have to like a married woman.

"General, do you want to know how Madam Xie is doing?" The subordinate asked faintly, "I was guarding the door of Xie's house and waited for her to come out and take a look at her."

Xie Tan was silent for a moment, then asked, "How is she? Is she okay?"

"Looking at her expression, she must be living a good life. She and Xie Hanlin are well-known for their deep relationship, and the people of Yunjing all know it. Madam Xie has not had any children for many years, but Xie Hanlin has never abandoned her. She has no concubines and her mother-in-law is young and doesn't care about things. I don't know how many young women envy her life. Not long ago, Master Xie took three concubines into the mansion, but Xie Hanlin sent them all back..."

"Okay, stop talking." Xie Tan suddenly interrupted, feeling an unspeakable bitterness in his heart, "Withdraw the spies planted next to her, there's no need to watch her anymore."

"Why not? Will you be reconciled if we withdraw our people?" The subordinate said nonchalantly, "If you could have let go of this woman all these years, you wouldn't have remained unmarried until now. I'm telling you, General, why did you have to choose the first wife of Xie Hanlin and Xie Yunji? She's his legal wife, and with our current status, we can't bring him here..."

Xie Tan's eyes were as cold as ice and snow, and he said coldly, "When did I say I would bring her here? Don't let her find me... I'll get someone to watch her!"

"As long as she's doing well, that's all. Don't disturb her!"

"Then the secret sentry will not be withdrawn. If she breaks up with Xie Hanlin one day, you, General, will be the first to know." The subordinate showed a sly smile and said jokingly.

Xie Tan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. He lifted his robe, walked out of the tent, and went to the parade ground to watch the new recruits training without looking back.

The wind outside the Great Wall was biting. It was just autumn and the wind felt like a knife cutting on the face. Xie Tan wiped his face, his subordinates' words just now echoing in his mind.

She has never had a child because she suffered during those years living in a brothel.

It was all his fault that he was too slow. By the time he found her, it was already too late.

If he had arrived in time when she ransacked the house.

If only he had been able to find her in time.

If only...

Xie Tan's bony hands were gripping the hilt of the sword until it turned white. The horse under him seemed to sense his master's emotions and kicked its hooves restlessly, splashing up a cloud of dust.

[This is someone's legally married wife. With our current status, we can't bring him here.]

Status... Even if he was promoted to this position and had all the military power in the North in his hands, he still couldn't take her back.

Xie Tan suddenly understood that once missed, it is missed.

He always thought that as long as he could climb high enough and have enough, he would be able to protect her and be qualified to love her.

But now he realized that he was just wishful thinking. She and he were actually like two roads that intersected briefly and had already developed in different directions.

She was already the young lady of the Xie family, the wife that Xie Yunji had married after three matchmakers and six engagements.

He suddenly understood why Xie Yunji was so determined to marry Song Nihuan, because under the laws of Dazhao, a wife was different from a concubine or a maid who could be given away, sold, or traded.

A wife is a part of a man and can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

No matter how powerful you are, you cannot take away someone else's wife.

What's more, that person was his nominal sister-in-law.

But she is obviously...his!

After a long time, there was a "click" sound and the hilt of the sword in Xie Tan's hand made a breaking sound.

Yunjing.

Xie Yunji paced back and forth, her mind in a mess. She had already met up with Jiang Zhong and was about to reach Mount Li. What would happen after she saw Pinga Fu Yu?

What will you say?

If she really had feelings for Napinga Fuyu, what should he do...

He can't let her go anymore.

If it was a deliberate seduction at the beginning, it would be better to say that he did what he wanted under the pretext of revenge on Xie Tan.

She used to be such a cold and arrogant person, but now she is willing to be trapped in the inner house and rely on him. This is the best outcome.

This kind of relief only lasted for a moment. Now that Xie Tan was gone, Pinga Fu Yu came again.

Le Yi was still too lenient.

Xie Ming led the horse over and said, "Sir, aren't you going to Mount Li's palace today? There is still a secret decree from the emperor to be announced."

Xie Yunji turned around and said, "Let's go."
