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

Xie Tan brought news about Song Nihuan's parents and relatives.

"Ni Huan, the East Factory has found the remains of your parents, as well as more than a hundred relatives. They have performed rituals and built an ancestral hall."

After hearing the news, Song Nihuan slowly raised her eyes which had been drooping, and looked at Xie Tan in disbelief.

Her voice was trembling, as if she couldn't believe what she heard, "How could it be... I've been there before, and there was nothing there at that time. Finding bones from all those years ago, this is simply impossible!"

Xie Tan looked at her excited expression, with a hint of tenderness and distress in his eyes. He kept silent about his intentions in this matter and comforted her: "If the East Factory doesn't even have this ability, it should be abolished as soon as possible."

Song Nihuan was still immersed in shock and emotion, her eyes were sore. She recalled her past experiences and pains, and her heart was gripped by longing for her family and guilt.

"Thank you...thank you, Brother Tan." She whispered, her voice choked with sobs.

Xie Tan stayed with her quietly. He knew that no amount of words could soothe her at this moment.

Suddenly realizing something, he asked, "When have you ever been to a place like that?"

That place is a mass grave, filled with corpses and bones that no one has collected!

She didn't bother to answer him, and hurried over to grab his arm, "Really, is it really my father and mother? There are so many bones in the mass grave..."

"So many people were involved in the Qi Prince Rebellion back then, and the late emperor was a very suspicious person. After dealing with it, he sent the East Factory and the Northern Pacification Office to count and check them one by one, and then marked and filed them uniformly. How could he not find the Song family?" Xie Tan said.

As he was talking, he noticed that her eyes were filled with tears. His heart felt like it was stabbed. Just as he was about to comfort her, she threw herself into his arms.

Xie Tan was stunned, his heart was pounding, and his whole body was stiff and he dared not move, allowing her to hold him.

Her tears welled up and wet the auspicious cloud pattern on his chest, "Brother Tan, thank you..."

Xie Tan tried to be as light-hearted as possible and said, "What you and I said thank you to each other is just an order given to us by our subordinates."

She didn't know that the people below also prioritized the emperor's orders, and there were many tricks involved.

But Xie Tan was worried, so he followed Chen Liang to the mass grave in person. With the records of the Eastern Depot in his hand, he checked the skeletons one by one, including asking the coroner to verify whether the bone age was similar to that of the master and mistress of the Song family. He made sure that there was no mistake before telling her.

"I just want to thank you, Brother Tan. If it weren't for you, my parents' bodies would still be thrown in some corner of a mass grave. When I die one day, I won't have the face to go down and reunite with them..." she sobbed.

The grief was overwhelming. All these years, Song Nihuan had always thought that Lan Zhi was gone. Would her father, mother, and Lan Zhi blame her for being incompetent and letting their remains be thrown in a mass grave, to be pecked by birds and bitten by beasts?

Every time she thought of this, she felt heartbroken and ashamed, but there was no one to share her worries with, so she could only stay awake all night. When she closed her eyes, she would see their bodies torn apart and exposed in the wilderness, and then her father would look at her coldly and ask her how she had the nerve to live...

And now, Xie Tan has put them together, buried them, and given them a place to stay, so that they can be worshipped again. This is something she never dared to imagine!

She felt that the bloody scar was no longer so painful.

Xie Tan held up Song Nihuan's tearful face and said, "Don't talk about death or not, don't say such unlucky words. You will live a long and smooth life. Nihuan, what you need to do now is to live well for your whole family, understand?"

Song Nihuan nodded blankly, as if she had not yet come over the incident. She just cried silently, her body trembling slightly.

Xie Tan felt so distressed that he mustered up the courage to hug her in his arms, patting her back and whispering words of comfort in her ears.

After a while, Song Nihuan calmed down, got out of Xie Tan's arms somewhat awkwardly, and changed the subject.

"I went to the palace today and saw her." Song Nihuan said.

"Who?" Xie Tan asked knowingly.

"That's the woman with the child. She's very cute."

Seeing her say that the child is cute and spending all day around the child in the orphanage, Xie Tan became very angry.

Does she like children? Why does she always look at other people’s children? She would only be interested if she had her own.

He could give it to her.

Thinking of this, Xie Tan's ears turned a little red.

Song Nihuan had no idea what was going on in his mind, and she even gave him some serious advice on the matter of establishing a queen, "Brother Tan, if you don't establish a queen, there will be no peace in the future."

"Besides, you already have a child with her. You can't be the kind of person who abandons his wife..."

Xie Tan was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Do you want me to establish you as queen?"

He looked calm and composed, but his burning gaze betrayed his expectation.

He hoped she would say no.

"Of course, all the people in the world want you to be the queen." Her eyes were sincere, and she asked curiously, "What's wrong, Brother Tan, why are you unhappy?"

Xie Tan never shows his emotions in front of others, but he behaves like a child in front of Song Nihuan, with his happiness and unhappiness written all over his face.

Xie Tan's eyes shot towards her with resentment, piercing through the clouds and mist, and said, "I'm just not happy."

Song Nihuan said "oh" and her eyes fell on his black boots with dragon pattern.

In front of Xie Yunji, even though Xie Yunji had an affair with the princess and a maid, she did not dare to complain or be jealous, just because she was the eldest wife of the clan in name only.

When you feel guilty, you want to do better.

As a lady of a wealthy family, she had to keep her composure, so she had to hold back her unspeakable depression and swallow her pain.

But now, Xie Tan, do you want her to be jealous?

She shook her head secretly and said nothing more, but she was secretly thinking that she should take Lan Zhi away from here as soon as possible.

That woman is nice.

She has lost her husband's family and has an unclear relationship with Xie Tan. No woman would not care about it.

It's not like she's worldly-wise.

You shouldn't stay here any longer.

Song Nihuan had a smile on her face. She looked at Xie Tan and was about to say something, but he said coldly with a dark face: "You misunderstood. Feng Mian has nothing to do with me, and the child is not mine."

"She is a saint from the northern border. She brought her child to the Central Plains to find his father. She is staying in the palace temporarily."

He glanced at her and said hatefully, "I have never been married! I have no wives or concubines, no women at all!"

She looked at him in surprise as he left angrily. No, no, why was he so angry...

The eunuch guarding the gate saw the door open. He knew that the emperor was always happy every time he came here, and this time was no exception. He hurriedly stepped forward and called out, "Your Majesty, why are you leaving so soon today? Why don't you stay with Madam Song for a while longer?"

The clinker emperor said coldly: "Get lost!"

Zhou Zhong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, happened to be standing nearby. He was puzzled to see Xie Tan with a dark face...

Isn't this the woman you've been thinking about for many years, but you're still hiding her from me?

He had wanted to come and take a glimpse of her beauty today by delivering a memorial, but now it seems that this is not the right time.

Zhou Zhong and Xie Tan fought together in the Northern Territory. He knew that Xie Tan had someone in his heart all these years.

The emperor got on the sedan chair but did not give the order to set off. The eunuch and Zhou Zhong looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ever since Xie Tan ascended the throne, Zhou Zhong has been extremely strict in observing the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, and has not overstepped the mark in the slightest.

The young eunuch bowed and kowtowed, and with a bitter face he pushed Zhou Zhong and said, "Sir Zhou, please go up and see His Majesty."

"Your Majesty was fine when he came here, but I don't know how he suddenly became like this... My Lord, please go and comfort His Majesty!"

Zhou Zhong thought for a moment, looked at the carriage and coughed, "Your Majesty, I have something to report, something urgent, I am coming up."
