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

Although Xue Mingyue was a little angry about his laughter, it was not to the extent of being angry with the food.

In the end, he ate up everything.

After filling her stomach, she felt that she had finally recovered. Even her mind was working very fast. Xue Mingyue squinted her eyes and looked at the man sitting opposite her. She said firmly, "You were just pretending to be pitiful to me just now."

So not a single word he said could be trusted.

Xue Mingyue sneered twice in her heart. Haha, she had seen through him.

Xie Lang cried out that he was wronged, and spread his hands, saying, "Even if I am pretending to be pitiful, what I said is from the heart. Before I met you again, I hadn't seen you for almost ten years."

"Then I must have been a wandering ghost for ten years."

Xue Mingyue said without thinking.

After all, she and he were reborn on the same day. Maybe the reason she had been wandering for so many years was just to wait for him to die too?

Xie Lang was choked by her words, and the two of them looked at each other.

Eyes wide open.

The two had never sat together like they did today, talking seriously and openly about rebirth, because rebirth meant death, and neither of them wanted to talk about the other's death.

In the end, Xie Lang was the first to be defeated. He raised his hands in surrender and smiled helplessly.

After a moment, he slowly lowered his eyelashes.

Xie Lang reached out and held her hand tightly, and said softly: "I had a bad feeling when I went out to pick flowers that day, but that was a rare request you made to me, and I wanted to make you happy."

Xue Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

He stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips. At this moment, the back of her hand was plump and white, and one could tell just by looking at it that she was living a comfortable life.

But by then she had been so exhausted by the epidemic that she had lost all her energy. The backs of her hands were so thin that veins were bulging, and her whole body was losing weight almost visibly. Day by day, she took medicine, but there was no improvement at all.

It was clear that the epidemic situation outside the city had been brought under control at that time.

Even a prescription for treatment was about to be prepared, but after she fell down, she never got up again.

Meeting Xie Lang's gloomy gaze, Xue Mingyue hesitated for a moment.

Still, he chose to be honest: "The epidemic was raging, and I was just a half-way doctor. When I was preparing the prescription, even though someone else was testing the medicine, I couldn't let it go, so I was also testing the medicine on myself during that time."

"Maybe it's because of my physical condition. Some of the medicines that showed improvement in other patients have counteracted my condition."

Xue Mingyue paused here and paid attention to Xie Lang's expression.

Seeing that he didn't show the slightest bit of surprise, I guessed that he must have learned about these things later, so I didn't hide it anymore and said, "The old doctor told me at the time that my situation was very tricky."

Xie Lang opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "Why didn't you tell me?"

He spoke quickly: "If you tell me, I will definitely find a doctor to treat you..."

Xue Mingyue looked at him in surprise and had to remind him, "You had just recovered not long ago, and before that, I had already heard your conversation with the Third Prince."

"As for the content of the conversation, do I need to tell you?"

Xie Lang's dark eyes suddenly dimmed.

Seeing his dejected look, Xue Mingyue cursed herself for having such a low bottom line in her heart, and comforted him: "Although I didn't ask you for help, I have been cooperating with the treatment, right?"

How can you want to die when you can live?

But there really was no other way. Even if she tried to hold on, what awaited her would only be an increasingly weak self...she wouldn't even be able to maintain her complete and beautiful appearance.

She didn't want Xie Lang to remember her as an ugly girl.

Xue Mingyue's mood gradually became depressed. Suddenly, she felt someone pinching her palm, and Xie Lang's deep voice rang out:

"…So, that day was when you gave up completely?"

He raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, his black pupils looked at her steadily, and all he tasted was bitterness on the tip of his tongue.

"You sent me away and didn't even want me to see you for the last time. Even then you didn't even think of leaving me a single word."

Xue Mingyue's eyes widened slightly and she moved her lips.

She wanted to explain something, but found that what he said was the truth. Before she died, all she wanted was to never see Xie Lang again in the next life.

Who knows we might meet again later.

Xue Mingyue sighed softly, took control and held his hand, patted it twice to comfort him, and said helplessly: "At that time, I thought you didn't like me anymore. Wouldn't it be a joke for you if I left you a last word?"

"Besides, I think I chose the right time."

She smiled with her eyes curved, her smile refreshing like a spring breeze, just like every time before: "The sunset and the evening glow that day were really beautiful. Do you want to watch it with me again in the future?"

The gloom in Xie Lang's eyes disappeared the moment he heard these words.

He hummed solemnly.

Finally, he added: "From now on, I will accompany you to watch the sunset in every place."

·

People feel sleepy when they are full.

After waiting for Xue Mingyue to fall asleep on the small couch, Xie Lang gently picked her up, walked through the small door back to the bedroom, carefully put her back on the bed, and covered her with bedding.

He just stood by the bed, looking at her quietly for a long time with his eyes downcast.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Lang stretched the joints of his fingers hanging by his side, reluctantly withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked out.

After opening the door, he instructed Liuyun Liuxing who was waiting at the door: "Madam has fallen asleep after dinner. You can go in, but don't wake her up. Also, remember to change the water on the table to hot water."

The two looked at each other and responded in unison.

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Xie Lang explained a few more things that needed attention before walking into the study.

Wu Ye and Xijiang, who returned to the Marquis' Mansion early, waited at the door of the study for a whole morning before they finally saw their own Marquis. Before they could open their mouth to report, they saw his extremely ugly face.

The two of them immediately shut up and followed in without saying a word.

They have become very familiar with the Marquis's expression over the past few days. Like now, it is definitely an expression that shows a desire to kill someone.

But he had just come out of his wife's room, so he shouldn't be angry no matter how you think about it.

"How is the situation with the Third Prince?"

Xie Lang tapped the table with his fingers, his voice cold.

Wu Ye immediately bowed and said, "My Lord, Lord Lian talked with His Majesty for half an hour after entering the palace last night. After leaving the palace, he went to the Third Prince's residence first. His Majesty simply placed the Third Prince under house arrest in the residence."

"All the suspects were arrested by Lord Lian and taken to the Imperial Prison in the past two days. Our people were not allowed to intervene in this matter."

There was a cold and cruel light flashing in Xie Lang's dark eyes.

He opened his lips slightly and said, "Let someone cut off one of Xiao Chang's arms. This will be a small lesson for him."
