The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Did Mingyue ask her to file the complaint, or did she do it herself?

Xie Lang's fingertips unconsciously rubbed the ring on his thumb. He looked at her deeply and nodded, "I understand."

Hearing him say this, Liuyun heaved a sigh of relief, maintained the posture of bowing, lowered his eyes, and continued to drive him away.

In short, if I say he can't be let in, then he can't be let in.

Xie Lang: "..."

Xie Lang came back this time not only to see if she was frightened, but also to show his attitude to Emperor Jingping, so he would not just take a look and go back. Because Lian Dongshu would definitely go to meet Emperor Jingping.

"If Madam wakes up, please send someone to the study to inform me."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

After saying this, Xie Lang turned around and walked towards the study.

After his back completely disappeared in the corridor, Liuyun raised her head and glanced at the dark and gloomy sky outside. It seemed that a snowstorm was about to come again. She quickly withdrew her gaze and stood with her hands in her pockets.

The young lady is kind-hearted and does not want to argue with Xu Yingying, but this is not a reason for anyone to offend her.

The young lady always says that she is courting disaster by cooperating with the marquis, so it is not impossible for her to take advantage of the tiger's power at the critical moment. Xu Yingying has gone against the young lady again and again, and such a person must be taught a lesson before he will restrain himself.

Even if the Marquis would teach her a lesson, Liuyun could not guarantee the extent of this "teaching".

That's why she wanted to tell the Marquis in person just now.

Liuyun recalled the day when the young lady and the marquis had a big quarrel in the room. Since then, the young lady's attitude towards the marquis seemed to have changed a little... I think if the young lady knew about it, she would not blame her.

After all, she didn't say anything, and what she said was all true.

Well, the lady won't blame her.

...

The dusk is vast.

Xue Mingyue woke up from a nap and felt refreshed all over. She could eat several sticky rice dumplings in one meal tonight.

However, just as she was about to give orders for what to eat, she heard a servant come in and say that the Marquis had been waiting outside for a long time and asked her if she wanted to let him in.

“……?” Why was Xie Lang at home out of the blue?

Xue Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows slightly, and quickly realized why he came back.

She suppressed the surprise on her face.

She nodded to the servant, signaling him to let Xie Lang in. After all, he was the master of this marquisate, and it was rare for him to fall to this level. Xue Mingyue sighed softly in her heart.

Although she thought this in her heart, there was no expression on her face.

She let the maids change her clothes and stopped them from putting jewelry in her hair. She walked into the hall without any makeup and saw her back, which was as straight as a green bamboo.

Why does it feel like he has lost some weight?

Is this her illusion?

Xue Mingyue's eyes moved slightly, and she took a half step forward, holding the hand warmer tightly, and asked softly, "Why is the Marquis back?"

"You slept for a really long time."

Xie Lang turned around and looked at her dimly: "I came back in the afternoon and waited at home for the whole afternoon before I finally waited for you to wake up. It can be seen that our Mingyue was really frightened today."

What happened to her sleeping for so long?

Are idle people not allowed to take a nap? Xue Mingyue also looked back with a gloomy look.

He nodded confidently, "Yes, I was just terrified. It was a sudden disaster in broad daylight. Someone stopped the car in front of the mansion, and I almost rolled out of the car."

She was the victim in this matter, so she would not hesitate to file a complaint.

It would be fine if she didn't mention it. As soon as it was mentioned, Xue Mingyue felt nauseous. What she couldn't stand the most now was someone talking to her about filial piety, especially asking her to be filial to Xue Xujun. What kind of filial piety?

Isn't it filial piety that she didn't take advantage of the situation and dig up the Xue family's ancestral grave?

Xu Yingying even rushed to her and told her about this matter, trying to label her as unjust and unfilial, accusing her of being heartless and cold-blooded. Tsk.

After saying this, Xue Mingyue noticed that he was holding a painting in his hand: "This is..."

Xie Lang followed her gaze to his hand, picked it up and shook it, then smiled and said, "Last time I saw you were very interested in the paintings in the study, so I brought it here to share with you."

Xue Mingyue paused for a moment, her expression becoming a little strange: "The one in the secret compartment?"

Xie Lang smiled and nodded.

"I originally wanted to keep it for myself and enjoy it slowly, but ever since you found it, I have been thinking about giving it to you, but I have never had the time. Today I finally have the time, so I brought it here."

"As the food hasn't arrived yet, let's enjoy it together at this table."

Having said that, he took her hand and walked over.

Xue Mingyue was a little dumbfounded, her mind was full of what he was doing, how could he let her appreciate her own portrait? Then should he ask her to comment on what was good about this painting later?

"Hmm? If you'd like to comment, that's fine too."

Xie Lang looked at her with a smile.

Only then did Xue Mingyue realize that she had accidentally spoken out her true feelings.

Seeing her expression of refusal, Xie Lang rubbed his chin slowly with his fingertips, raised his eyebrows, and said with interest: "How about this, if you tell me one good thing, I will have someone use one more punishment on Xu Yingying?"

His expression looked very serious, and Xue Mingyue's eyebrows suddenly jumped.

So Xu Yingying has been imprisoned?

But if punishment is used arbitrarily, wouldn't it arouse the fear of Emperor Jingping?

Xue Mingyue herself didn't realize that she had been considering issues from Xie Lang's perspective since some time ago, and she was mostly thinking about whether it would affect his plans and whether it would change His Majesty's impression of her.

Xue Mingyue did not answer immediately, but pursed her lips.

At this moment, a hand came over her head and patted it twice very lightly: "Don't worry, she is involved in the fight for the throne of the prince. Your Majesty will only try to pry more things out of her."

Xie Lang's voice was neither fast nor slow, and there was a hint of a cheerful smile in it.

After hearing about the prince's fight for the throne, Xue Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and her brows suddenly knitted together as if she remembered something. She looked up at him and said, "You mean... the third prince?"

She remembered that Xie Lang had mentioned before that the Third Prince wanted to recruit him in his past and present lives.

Could this sudden temptation be his work?

As expected of him, his name is Mingyue. His intelligence far exceeds that of most people in the world.

Xie Lang's eyes were filled with smiles, and he nodded: "Yes, it was him. He did this just to test me, to see if I love you as much as the rumors say."

Xue Mingyue fell into deep thought after hearing this.

After a moment, his eyes darkened and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his lips. He had a good idea to use his bad reputation to test Xie Lang's feelings.

He has no scruples whether success or failure comes.

Xie Lang had just brought down the second prince. If he took action against other princes in a short period of time, it would mean that he did not take Emperor Jingping seriously.

Therefore, as long as he has concerns, he will not take action.
