The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The case was eventually handed over to government officials.

Wangshan followed to see the corpse and confirmed that the man was the security guard who ran into the sea of ​​fire.

On the way back to Xie's house, Wang Shan's face was solemn: "Third Master, I feel something is wrong."

Xie Lin said: "Tell me about it."

Wang Shan said, "That man set the fire, and he was also the one who broke into the sea of ​​fire. I am sure of these two points. What I am not sure about is that the man did not break into the house to kill you, Third Master..."

Wang Shan carefully checked Xie Lin's face and saw that Xie Lin had no expression on his face and didn't seem to be hurt by his words. Then he continued: "Instead, it looked like he went in to save you."

Unfortunately, Chu Heyi broke in at that time, making them unsure whether the man wanted to kill Xie Lin or had other intentions.

"But if he didn't want to kill you, why would he hang himself? This is very contradictory." Wangshan followed the government officials to investigate the scene, and there were no signs of homicide.

"Does he have to hang himself to kill me? Since he had other intentions, he failed to achieve them because of Chu Heyi's intrusion. This means that his mission was not completed, so he had no choice but to commit suicide." Xie Lin said lightly.

He was also thinking about this problem just now.

He discovered the same thing as Wangshan: the man who broke into the fire did not seem to intend to kill him.

Chu Heyi was anxious at the time and mistakenly thought that the man wanted to take his life, so he fought with him.

But Xie Lin couldn't understand why that person risked his life and rushed into the sea of ​​fire, neither to save him nor to kill him?

Wang Shan asked, "What was his mission? If it was to save you, he definitely wouldn't have fought with Miss Chu, and he was the one who set the fire."

It was really strange, and Wangshan couldn’t figure it out.

Xie Lin didn't have an answer for the time being.

The carriage was suddenly forced to stop.

Wang Shan went out to find out what happened, and soon came back to report: "Third Master, it's Yuan Heng, the grandson of the Grand Tutor Yuan family."

As for the reason why Yuan Heng stopped their carriage, Wangshan was too lazy to explain as he felt it was embarrassing.

Xie Lin lifted the car curtain and looked out.

Yuan Heng rode on a tall horse, followed by eight guards, making a grand formation.

He looked down at Xie Lin, originally thinking that the other party was a sickly person and not to be feared. However, the moment he met Xie Lin's gaze, Yuan Heng had the illusion that he was the one being looked down upon.

Xie Lin was clearly just sitting in the carriage, not saying anything and not making any unnecessary movements, but the majesty around him was so intimidating.

However, Yuan Heng's grandfather was the imperial tutor of the dynasty, and his aunt was the empress of the dynasty. He was used to looking down on others, and after a brief moment of stunnedness, he came to his senses.

"So this is Third Master Xie. He is indeed handsome. But a man with only good looks will be laughed at. As far as I know, your father was the only one in the Xie family who was promoted to the fourth rank three generations ago. This is not good enough in Shengjing City. And unfortunately, your father, who was the most successful official in your family, died young."

Yuan Heng said this and started laughing.

"Now your Xie family only has one man, who is a fifth-rank official and is sent out to a distant place. How pitiful!"

Yuan Heng sneered, "With such a family background, Third Master Xie actually dared to snatch a woman from me? Who gave Third Master Xie the courage? Was it your pretty face? Or the huge fortune behind you?"

Speaking of appearance, Yuan Heng became jealous: "Master Xie, believe it or not, if you annoy me, I can destroy your face and even spend all your Xie family's wealth!"

When he said the latter part, he was already gritting his teeth.

Xie Lin seemed to be thinking of something else, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

When Yuan Heng was stared at by his cold gaze, a chill ran up his spine, but he calmed himself in time.

Don't be afraid. His aunt and grandfather are both very powerful. He can walk around Shengjing City as he pleases. Even the prime minister has to give him some respect when he sees him, let alone Xie Lin?

"Who is your woman?" Xie Lin asked.

Yuan Heng: “…”

It turned out that he regarded Xie Lin as an enemy, but Xie Lin was completely unaware of him and must be pretending to be stupid to deliberately anger him.

"Don't act stupid. I'm going to marry Miss Li in the future, but you're taking her shopping today! What's your intention?"

Xie Lin said indifferently: "If you have the ability, just go and marry Miss Li. There is no need to come to me and bark. This will only make you look incompetent."

"You...you dare to call me a dog?!"

Xie Lin lowered the car curtain and said indifferently and firmly: "Wangshan, let's go."

Wangshan immediately made a gesture to Yuanheng: "Master Yuan, please move aside."

"What will you do if I don't move aside?" Yuan Heng raised the whip and was about to hit Xie Lin's horse with a very cruel blow. If the horse was suddenly frightened, it would surely run away wildly, and Xie Lin, who was weak, would not be able to bear it at all.

Wangshan caught his whip.

Yuan Heng became even angrier and felt humiliated. The Xie family was so bold to treat him like this!

In Yuan Heng's opinion, when he hit Xie Lin's horse, Xie Lin not only could not dodge, but also had to lead the horse in front of him and let him hit him.

Therefore, Yuan Heng was furious. He took back the whip and whipped hard, this time changing his target - Wangshan.

Wangshan easily caught his whip again, pulled it hard, and pulled Yuanheng off the horse.

Xie Lin's carriage drove to Yuan Heng and stopped. Xie Lin's voice came from the carriage: "I am not talented, but I can still afford Young Master Yuan's medical expenses. Young Master Yuan, remember to send the medical bill to Xie's house later. Xie's house will pay for it."

Yuan Heng was dragged off his horse, and the eight guards behind him were terrified and surrounded him to check on him.

When Yuan Heng was in unbearable pain, he heard Xie Lin's words and bit his back teeth in anger. He swore secretly: From now on, Xie Lin and I have an irreconcilable feud!

Xie Lin in the carriage suddenly raised his hand and touched his face.

Among all the words Yuan Heng said just now, he heard one sentence that ruined his appearance.

He thought of the time when Concubine Xie came to his house at night and asked him not to appear in front of the current emperor and empress.

In other words, he didn't want the emperor and empress to see his face.

So the fire today was not meant to take his life, but to burn his face. No wonder the security guard set the fire but failed to complete his mission and had to die.

Concubine Xie didn't believe that he would really not appear in front of the Emperor and Empress, so she hired someone to set this fire. Was she trying to burn his face off?

Xie Lin closed his eyes. Lady Xie was his sister.

Whose way is being blocked by this face of his?

Xie Lin was enveloped by a chill all over his body, and his heart seemed to be leaking air, causing him to cough violently.

——Sister, is it really you?

After Xie Lin returned home, he rested for several days and finally stopped coughing. It was also much warmer outside. He asked Wangshan to send a visiting card to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and personally went to visit Chu Heyi.

Chu Heyi was an energetic girl who had suffered a lot since childhood, so she was very tough. After being nursed for these days, she was almost fully recovered.

When she learned that Xie Lin was coming to visit her, she felt better and went to the front hall to receive him personally.
