The night was dark, and Xie Tan's words made Song Nihuan's heart soften. She sighed softly and then nodded.

Looking at her gentle appearance, Xie Tan felt distressed and hugged her and pressed her against his shoulders.

I don’t know how much injustice she has suffered in the Xie family over the years.

He liked her leaning on him like this. Thinking of what she had just said, he was stunned for a moment, and then it was as if he had suddenly realized something. He let go of her and held her shoulders, and said in disbelief: "You just said that you are willing to be with me...?"

"Try it." She whispered.

When she first met Xie Tan, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a rare blessing to meet an old friend in such a difficult situation, not to mention that the old friend's status was now invaluable.

But later she found out that he was so stubborn and obstinate in wanting to keep her, totally ignoring the fact that she was married and had a broken body.

Xie Tan's kindness to her is real, and she cannot escape the debt she owes to Xie Tan.

In that case, why not give it a try.

"Brother Tan, you know, Xie Yunji and I have been married for four years since we were young. It is impossible for me to forget him immediately." She whispered, her fingers curled up in her sleeves and pinched her palms, "I tried, but I couldn't forget him. What's more, he is gone now..."

She didn't say the rest. Although Xie Yunji was no longer with us, he meant more to her than when he was alive.

She had no choice but to comfort herself that death was the end of all debts and to reserve a place for him in her heart. She hoped that God would have mercy on her, and that was ok, right?

"But I will try my best to forget him and be with you well." Song Nihuan said.

Xie Tan's heart tightened and he stood there frozen.

"Be gentle, you're hurting me." She frowned and glanced at his hand on her shoulder.

Because he was too excited, he forgot to control his strength and accidentally hurt her.

Xie Tan held her tightly in his arms, kissed the top of her head carefully, and said a little aggrievedly: "I have finally waited for this day... Ni Huan, if you can pity me this time, my whole life will be worth it."

The days in the mud were too bitter, but suddenly a beam of light shone in. After the light disappeared, he fell into the cold darkness again.

Now he has finally found her.

Palpitations, heartache, bitterness and sweetness.

He begged, "Ni Huan, you...you hug me."

Song Nihuan naturally had some contrasts after having experienced two men. Xie Yunji was much more real in front of her than with others, but he still looked like a modest gentleman as bright as the moon. He was upright and full of control as a husband and a king, and he had never lowered himself to beg her like Xie Tan did.

Song Nihuan was surprised and couldn't help laughing: "Are you acting like a spoiled child?"

"What's the point of being a spoiled brat?" Xie Tan's hand slowly moved from her lower back to her neck, stroking her cheek, "I still want to eat you. I miss you every day. It's too hard."

He wanted to dig out his heart and give it to her to let her see how much he loved her.

Are those bitter and unspeakable times finally coming to an end?

Song Nihuan did not respond to him. The atmosphere was obviously charming, but she broke away from his arms and whispered, "I'm tired, let's sleep."

Xie Tan was not disappointed, he nodded restrainedly, and greedily held her in his arms again, the smile on his lips spread, he said: "I won't move you, I will hold you to sleep."

She stopped talking and closed her eyes.

Xie Yunji...

Xie Yunji.

*

Xie Mansion.

It has been several months since Xie Yunji's funeral, but the Xie family is still filled with gloom and sadness.

The only son of the eldest branch of the Xie family, the only bloodline of the late Princess Qinghe, died so young. No one could accept it.

This pain cannot be healed in a short time.

At least that's the case for Mrs. Wei.

These days she has seen through it all: when it comes to offspring, men only care about whether or not they have them.

Even though he lost such an outstanding son as Xie Yunji, Xie Zhihuan was only sad for a short time, and then he threw himself madly into the movement of having children.

There were at least eight maids sent to the study, if not ten.

If you lose your son, just get another one.

How disgusting.

"Miss, it would be useless for you to give birth to a child when the eldest son was around. Now that the eldest son is gone, you must hurry up and give birth to a new one! If someone else gets there first..." the old woman persuaded Wei in her ear.

Seeing that Wei Lianhua was unmoved, the old woman continued, "The master is already so much older than you, young lady. When the master passes away, who will you rely on? You should give birth to a child yourself! The eldest son is gone, and the one that comes out of your belly will be the only child of the Xie family, which is invaluable!"

"Let me tell you, next time the master comes to your place, you should not drink this medicine, okay?"

Wei Lianhua glared at the old woman, her eyes flashing with anger and disgust, she gritted her teeth fiercely and said in a firm tone: "I will not give birth to a child for that old thing!

She had felt Xie Zhihuan's coldness before, but she didn't expect that he was so cold even to his own son.

How could a person like Xie Yunji, who passed away at such a young age, be sad for such a short time?

It turns out that everything she had secretly discovered over the years was true!

Xie Zhihuan was also unkind to his first wife, Princess Qinghe. It is said that he married again less than a year after Princess Qinghe's death, and his maids and concubines changed like a revolving lantern.

So who is he really sincere to?

Wei Lianhua finally understood why Xie Zhihuan had such a calm and composed demeanor. It was because of his determination to win the woman, the most typical expression of complacency of a traditional scholar-official.

For such people, women are just playthings to them, there is no true love for them at all.

Therefore, she would never bear a child for him.

After all the humiliation and contempt he had shown her over the years, it was time for her to fight back.

The afternoon sun shone through the diamond-shaped window onto Wei Lianhua's young face. The smile at the corner of her lips was a little creepy, and she had already made up her mind.

She called her trusted maid and explained everything to her.

A few days later, one morning, a maidservant serving Mrs. Wei suddenly had severe abdominal pain and bleeding. After being examined by the palace doctor, it was discovered that she had miscarried.

Madam Wei was extremely shocked. She opened her big innocent eyes in front of Master Xie and said, "I didn't know she was pregnant. She's not made of paper. How could I hurt her by serving her tea and water?"

However, this is only the first step of Wei Lianhua's plan.

In the following days, no matter how hard Mr. Xie worked, no good news came. Several lords of Xie's side branches even proposed to adopt their own children. Xie Zhihuan was so angry that he smashed several tea bowls.

Although Xie Zhihuan was heartbroken, he did not doubt Wei Lianhua. Instead, he thought that these maids were weak or destined to be childless, so he rewarded Wei Lianhua with many precious supplements, hoping that she could get pregnant with her own child as soon as possible.
