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

The flood had not subsided by April, and even part of the revetments on both sides of the river were washed away. Xie Yunji and his colleagues sent by the Ministry of Works to Danzhou worked all night for several nights, and finally summarized the depth and flow rate of the water that could be detected at present, and sent it to Yunjing in a hurry.

Due to a series of flood disasters, the hydrological conditions are too poor, the sediment and soil conditions have undergone tremendous changes, the construction difficulty has increased, and the construction work in Danzhou has entered a suspension stage.

It rained heavily that day, and Xie Yunji rested in the inn. In Danzhou, most of the luggage was convenient to carry. He wore a dark narrow-sleeved casual suit, a green polyester belt around his waist, and a jade-colored sachet hung under the belt. He stood in front of the window looking at the foggy sky, his whole body straight and tall, compared to the romantic and elegant look when he was in Yunjing, he had a kind of neat and unrestrained aura.

The memorial written overnight was sent to Yunjing. Even if one rode at full speed and stayed up all night, it would take half a month to make the round trip.

He had to wait until the imperial edict arrived before he could make his next plan.

Xie Yunji looked up at the rain, sighed, and picked up the pen.

This time was different from the last time he came to Danzhou. He wrote many letters to her, but all these letters fell into the sea and there was no news. He didn't know whether he was stopped on the way for some reason or there was something wrong with her reply. In short, he didn't receive any reply from her.

He comforted himself, thinking that it was indeed not easy to communicate in a year of disaster like this.

He spread out the rice paper on the table, mixed the paint, and sketched a slender figure with his brush.

When I was halfway through the painting, Xie Ming came in.

Xie Yunji was concentrating on the beauty in his painting, and did not raise his eyes. He asked, "What's the matter?"

"Sir, your letter was delivered by a horse galloping from Yunjing." Xie Ming said, and then presented a snow-white letter with both hands, on which was a dark pattern of the Xie family emblem.

When he saw the fire mark, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

If it was Song Nihuan's reply, she would not stamp it with the Xie family's emblem.

Using the clan emblem to express it is a public matter, an urgent matter.

He took the letter, opened it, and after reading just a few words, his heart sank.

When he put down the letter, Xie Yunji said, "Go, prepare the horses."

Xie Ming said: "Sir, it's raining heavily outside and it won't stop for a while."

He repeated: "Saddle the horse."

"Where are you going in such heavy rain?"

"Go back to Yunjing." Xie Yunji said.

"The emperor's order has not yet arrived. If you return to Yunjing now, you may be deserting your post."

He didn't say anything more to Xie Ming and rushed into the rain.

After reading the contents of the letter, he did not waste a single minute of time and galloped all the way. If the horse could not bear it, he would not even waste time staying at the inn.

Mrs. Wei's letter was a tip-off. He knew every word in the letter, but he couldn't understand it.

What does it mean that the young lady did not return home all night, bringing disgrace to the family? According to ancient teachings, she should be divorced.

How could she not come back all night?

Xie Yunji grew up in a noble family and understood best how important the virtue of a lady of noble family was. She had to wear a veil when she went out on weekdays and be accompanied by maids and servants, not to mention not coming home all night.

Simply disappearing for a few hours without being able to explain where you have been is extremely serious and you will face severe questioning and punishment.

Where he went and whether he was innocent or not, it no longer matters from the moment he disappears.

The family's reputation would not allow the existence of a tainted eldest daughter-in-law.

He knew the seriousness of the matter.

They slept in the open air and endured heavy rain along the way. They almost fell off the cliff several times. There was another time when the soil on the top of the mountain was washed away just as their horses ran past.

Xie Ming looked at the young master in the rain. The young master was more anxious and impatient than ever before.

These two words should not have anything to do with the young master.

He had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen. The fact that the imperial edict had not arrived and that the young master, as the chief supervisor of the canal, had deserted his post was enough to cause him trouble.

After galloping for six consecutive days and covering thousands of miles, Xie Yunji only had a short rest time. Two of his horses collapsed from exhaustion. When he arrived in Yunjing, he had already started coughing violently.

Although the previous knife wound had healed, it left a root of illness. His body was far from being as healthy as before. He didn't sleep well, didn't eat well, and was caught in the rain on the road. Finally, he could not bear it any longer.

He just wanted to see her.

He didn't come back all night, there must be some misunderstanding.

During the years that Song Nihuan has been in the Xie Mansion, she has already acquired the qualities that a lady of a wealthy family should have. How could she not know the seriousness of not returning home at night?

Xie Yunji suppressed the overwhelming pain in his lungs. Song Nihuan's helpless look lingered in his mind, and his heart felt like it was being pinched.

On the way, he thought of several possibilities. Perhaps she had no children and her father was finally angry, so he set up a trap to trap her while he was away and forced him to divorce her.

It is also possible that she forgot the time when she was visiting Song Lanzhi in the Lishan Palace. This is easy to deal with, as long as the palace maids at the Lishan Palace can prove that she was alone in the palace.

In this world, whether from a wealthy or poor family, the first requirement for women is "chastity".

During this journey, he never doubted her innocence and was only thinking about how to prove her innocence.

When he finally arrived at Wuyi Lane, Xie Yunji almost ran into the Xie Mansion, completely disregarding his image and the gazes of the people around him.

When the gatekeeper saw him, he couldn't help rubbing his eyes and muttered to himself, "Is this really the eldest master?"

His face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept for days. His long flowing hair had become tangled, and his clothes were wrinkled.

Where is there any trace of the elegance and grace of Yaguan Yunjing?
