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

Xie Yunji had never felt so frustrated.

Only today did he realize that what he could do was very limited. He was powerless to fight back against the imperial power, the clan, and the ethics of the world.

He had been a child of destiny since he was born, and there were very few things he could wish for. But when he met Song Nihuan, he experienced the pain of being tied up for the first time.

"My lord Xie, I'm sorry." The eunuch said in a low voice after reading the imperial edict, and then winked at the executioner.

He left his post without permission and disobeyed the emperor's will and returned to Yunjing from Danzhou. The emperor was lenient and took into consideration his difficulties, so he did not punish him severely but only gave him some physical pain as a punishment.

Mottled light and shadow fell on Xie Yunji's pale and haggard face. He said calmly: "Your Majesty, accept the order."

Even the emperor knew that his wife had left the house without permission and did not return all night. Men are very friendly to each other in such matters, and the emperor is no exception.

The corners of Xie Yunji's lips curled up in a bitter arc, and he coughed violently due to the cold wind. He felt pitifully broken.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch looked at Xie Yunji who was coughing alarmingly. Young Lord Xie was handsome and polite, but such a man was cuckolded. Although he was a eunuch, he felt distressed when he saw it.

He couldn't help but feel compassion and signaled to the executioner to be gentler.

Whether the whip is light or heavy is entirely up to them, but as long as they whip the person twenty times, it will be fine.

Xie Yunji calmed his breathing, wiped his lips, and when he opened his lips, there was actually a trace of blood.

The healed wound on my chest began to hurt.

"What's going on? How about we report this to the Emperor and ask him to hold the execution on another day?" the eunuch said anxiously.

Xie Yunji took a breath for a moment, suppressed the bloody smell in his throat, gritted his teeth and said, "No need to bother you, eunuch. Let's get started."

Whip after whip landed on Xie Yunji. He knew the executioner had slowed down his force, but why did it hurt so much? His heart ached and all his limbs ached.

Xie Yunji closed his eyes, feeling deeply tired.

The emperor knew that the execution was over and heard that Xie Qing vomited blood on the spot. This blood was vomited before the execution, which made him feel worried.

The emperor heaved a long sigh and put down the petition for imperial decree in his hand, which was written with sincerity and without any pretense. He felt that Xie Qing was also a man of sentimentality and his deep affection could easily be betrayed.

The noble ladies in the capital were all heartbroken. Such a handsome man, and so affectionate to his wife. His wife was so ungrateful that she would leave such a good man like that?

The Xie clan members all stayed indoors to avoid being questioned. What was there to ask? When a woman got into such trouble, she would naturally be divorced.

The imperial decree he requested for her would never come.

This incident became known to everyone, and the Xie clan could no longer tolerate her.

Song Nihuan waited for several days but did not receive the divorce letter. Instead, she received Xie Ming.

Xie Ming's attitude towards her was still respectful, and it seemed no different from before, but she knew that something had completely changed.

The lock on the yard was broken and the guards outside withdrew.

On a dark and windy night, she asked, "Where are you going?"

Xie Ming did not answer, but just said: "Young Madam, just follow me."

She walked out of the hanging flower gate, walked out of the Xie Mansion, and got into a dark blue sedan chair.

Turning left and right, we entered a courtyard. In the summer, the courtyard should be full of flowers, but it was bare. It was obvious that they were in a hurry and had not had time to arrange them.

She looked up and saw nothing written on the plaque on the door.

"Young Madam, please." Xie Ming said without saying much. In these years by Xie Yunji's side, he has become like a half-master, and he doesn't need his master to remind him what to say and what not to say.

Song Nihuan had a sad look on her face, and she guessed most of what was going on.

When she entered the courtyard, there were four maids standing in a row. When they saw her coming in, they bowed their heads and saluted politely: "Madam."

She nodded.

The four maids were a stranger to her and did not know her, so they called her Madam instead of Young Madam.

At night, she had already gone to bed, but was awakened by the noise outside. She had arrived at a new place and slept uneasily, waking up at the slightest noise.

When he put on his clothes and went out, he saw Xie Ming and another servant supporting Xie Yunji coming back in the yard.

"Young Madam." Xie Ming said, and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to explain for the master. After thinking for a long time, he said, "The young master has a fever and is talking nonsense. He must come to you."

"Help him in," she said.

Xie Ming helped Xie Yunji to the bed and put him down, then stepped back behind the screen. "Young Madam, the emperor punished the young master for deserting his post. The young master received twenty lashes a few days ago, and he also argued with the elders in the clan. He ran back from Danzhou without sleep and became ill. He is still not fully recovered. He refused to take medicine tonight and has a severe fever."

Seeing that Song Nihuan still didn't speak, Xie Ming stepped out.

She frowned and stared at him quietly.

As if he sensed something, he opened his eyes, smiled at her, and then closed them again.

His skin was originally fair, and now he had a severe fever, with his cheeks flushed with a sickly color.

Song Nihuan asked Shuanghua to boil the medicine and then fed it to him. He was obedient and drank it all without any resistance.

After drinking the medicine, he looked at her and smiled, then fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up the next day, Xie Yunji felt much more relaxed and no longer felt as painful as before.

He opened his eyes and saw that everything he saw was something he had bought himself.

He coughed a few times and sat up.

Shuanghua came in when she heard the noise and handed over warm water.

Xie Yunji asked: "Where is the young lady?"

Shuanghua said, "The young lady is sleeping in the outer room. Are you feeling better, young master?"

Xie Yunji nodded and was about to say something when Song Nihuan came in.

She looked at him, her fever subsided, and she looked much better.

She was a little dazed for a moment. It was the same when she first arrived at Xie's house four years ago. He was punished and she took care of him without taking off her clothes.

Now four years have passed, time flies so fast.

"Are you going to keep me outside as your mistress?" She broke the silence while sitting on the drum stool.
