Those gentle eyes were piercingly cold. He was very tall, and his shadow under the candlelight completely enveloped Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei's body froze, she was in shock and confusion, and her throat was choked and she couldn't speak.

Is he...going to kill her? !

"W-what do you mean?"

"Madam, you used the wrong method." He said coldly, "Madam, are you very reluctant to marry my father? Do you think he is too old?"

"Yes, it's a pity to waste such a brilliant time like yours, Madam."

Madam Wei was incredulous and said, "You are talking nonsense!"

"The way my lady looks at me, you don't think no one noticed, do you?"

He had seen many women, some pretending to be weak and in need of help in front of him, some boldly expressing their love, and some unable to get the love they wanted, all with the same look in Mrs. Wei's eyes.

"If I say that the lady seduced me, do you think father will protect you or me?" There was a sinister look in his eyes as if he was confident.

One is a concubine's daughter who paves the way for the family, and the other is a future person in power who is expected to have high hopes.

Mrs. Wei broke out in a thin layer of sweat and looked frightened.

Xie Yunji's voice was cold and gentle, "Madam, do you want to die or live?"

This handsome man with a jade face was like a ruthless evil ghost crawling out from underground... Madam Wei saw the murderous intent in his eyes and whispered, "I was wrong..."

Hearing this, he stared at her for a moment, then let go of her hand. Two red marks instantly appeared on Mrs. Wei's cheeks.

Xie Yunji looked at her horrified expression and sneered unceremoniously: "That's great, Madam, please find a way to explain it to your father."

"From now on, be careful with your words and actions towards Jiang, and don't have any other thoughts, otherwise... you will end up like the last lady!"

Didn’t the previous wife die of a sudden heart attack…?

Mrs. Wei was speechless for a long time after Xie Yunji left. The places where he pinched her seemed to be chilled, making her very sober.

After warning Mrs. Wei, Xie Yunji turned around and went back to Tanyuan.

"It's late, sir..." Xie Ming whispered behind him.

The candlelight in the courtyard flickered faintly, and Xie Yunji's black boots stopped on the path.

After all, he had to behave like a gentleman. It was getting late, so he really shouldn't have gone to look for Xie Tan like this.

What good would it do to find it?

Xie Yunji could imagine Xie Tan's face.

Since childhood, Xie Tan has always had a cold look on his face, as if he didn't care about anything.

Xie Yunji still remembered when Xie Tan was brought back to Xie Mansion from Zhuangzi by his father. Xie Tan was obviously the child of a concubine's wife and not even a bastard's child, but he did not humble himself to please him like others.

His mother was Princess Qinghe, a queen who was praised by everyone who mentioned her but was also a pity. However, she died of depression because of this little woman!

Why does Xie Tan do that?

Thinking of Song Nihuan and Xie Tan in the same room during the day, he was so excited that he wanted to take her away from Xie Tan and hide her away from everyone! He put in so much effort, she had lost her memory of Xie Tan, how could the two of them still be together! ?

The handsome young man's eyes showed even more viciousness and cruelty. He winked at Xie Ming and said, "Find out why Xie Tan appeared at the Shangsi banquet."

The next day, in the flower hall of Xie Mansion.

After listening to Wei's tearful explanation of the matter, Mr. Xie fell into deep thought.

Naturally, Wei's words were all nice ones, mostly about how brave and righteous Xie Tan was, and how innocent and pure her cousin was, and she cursed Li Jiulang for everything he had done, which was simply too much to appreciate.

Of course, he had to defend himself, swearing to heaven that he came back because he had a headache and the pain was unbearable.

"Master, Li Jiulang was originally a servant of my Wei family. He also happened to be at the banquet. I wanted to pick a reliable person to send Madam Jiang back home, but who knew, who knew that this bastard actually had lustful thoughts!" As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she cried bitterly. "Fortunately, Erlang rushed there in time, otherwise I really can't explain it..."

"It is said that being a stepmother is hard. I was also kind-hearted. I thought that Madam Jiang was young and it would be boring to stay in the mansion all day... I know I was wrong. I will discipline Madam Jiang well in the future and will not ask her to leave before she is out of mourning."

Master Xie did not comment upon hearing this. He remained silent for a while, drank a sip of tea, and then said, "Call the three of them over."

Mr. Xie has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is not unaware of these things in the harem, but he just doesn't want to get involved. He has heard about what happened yesterday, and there are all kinds of rumors.

Miss Jiang is too beautiful to be the main wife. She is engaged to Xie, so if we take advantage of this opportunity to marry her to Xie Tan, wouldn't that be a good idea?
