After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Restaurant.

Marquis Cheng'en was drunk and talking big, but Xie Ran was drinking absent-mindedly and didn't hear a word he said. Even his brain, which was always clear, was in a mess at this moment.

Is this what it feels like to be uneasy?

Suddenly, Xie Ran felt a pain somewhere in his heart.

His pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately put down his wine cup and said, "Mo Yin, prepare the car!"

Although Mo Yin didn't know what was going on, seeing Xie Ran's stern expression, he didn't dare to delay even a moment and immediately drove straight to Yuyan Pavilion.

Shopkeeper Han was greeting guests, and when he saw Xie Ran coming with a murderous aura, he shrank his neck in fear.

"Thank you...thank you, General."

"Where is Ajin?" Xie Ran looked around and asked coldly.

Shopkeeper Han was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "You mean the boss? The boss hasn't been here today..."

"How come you haven't been here?" Xie Ran grabbed Manager Han's collar, and his usual gentle and smiling look was no longer the case. At this moment, his eyes were sharp and his whole body exuded a terrifying chill.

"Didn't you say that someone had a rash on her face and asked her to come to Yuyan Pavilion?"

"Yes...but the boss was late, and the man said he couldn't wait any longer and left first."

Xie Ran felt something was wrong, so he let go of Shopkeeper Han and immediately ordered Mo Yin to take people to investigate.

Mo Yin brought the news quickly, but his expression was not very good.

"Master, someone saw a carriage rushing out of the city. According to the description of the people, it seemed to be the carriage of our mansion. I have sent people to the outskirts of the city to check..."

After hearing this, Xie Ran said nothing, jumped on his horse and galloped away.

Gu Jin, please don't be in any trouble.

However, when Xie Ran arrived at the outskirts of the city and saw the lonely carriage and the glaring blood on the messy grass, he felt dizzy. It was the first time he felt that the blood was so glaring.

"Where is the person? Have you found him?"

Xie Ran asked in a deep voice, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

Mo Yin had never seen Xie Ran like this before. Even when he was nearly killed by someone before, he had never seen him so panicked and angry.

"Not yet." Mo Yin was a little hesitant to reply.

Xie Ran lowered his eyes and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, "Not finding it is not necessarily a bad thing."

It's better than finding a cold corpse.

"Take people to investigate, don't let anyone go inside or outside the city!"

Mo Yin was about to go when Xie Ran suddenly threw the token from his waist to him, "Order the patrol camp to find her whereabouts and protect her safety."

Mo Yin was horrified, "Master, if you move the patrol camp without permission, you will definitely be impeached by the Censorate, and His Majesty will punish you too!"

Xie Ran raised his cold eyes and uttered only one word coldly, "Go!"

Mo Yin didn't dare to say anything more. He clenched the token and rode away.

……

"Xie Ran, do you know what you are doing?" Xie Qing stormed into Xie Ran's study room angrily.

Xie Ran sent everyone out, leaving only himself in the study waiting for news from all parties.

He sat behind his desk with his eyes lowered, as if he had not heard Xie Qing's question.

"Didn't Jin go out with you today? Why did she disappear for no reason?"

Seeing Xie Ran remained silent, Xie Qing became even angrier, "You made it known to everyone, didn't you think that it would damage her reputation?"

Of course he knew.

But he could silence the gossips for her, but if anything happened to her, even with all his power he would not be able to bring her back to life.

He just wanted her to be alive and well.

Xie Ran raised his eyelids coldly, "Gu Jin is my wife, so you don't need to worry about her."

Xie Qing was angered by Xie Ran's lukewarm attitude and asked angrily, "But you moved the patrol camp without permission, do you know what the crime is?

If you are not careful, you may end up being disloyal, and then the entire Yongchang Marquisate will be implicated by you!"

"so what?"

Xie Ran's voice was as cold as ice, and his gloomy and sharp eyes frightened Xie Qing.

In addition to being shocked, Xie Qing felt an indescribable complex emotion in his heart. He was jealous that Xie Ran could openly fight for her, but if he put himself in his shoes, he couldn't guarantee that he could put everything aside and do that.

He didn't want to admit it but had to admit that he didn't have Xie Ran's courage, and it seemed that even his love was not as deep as his. This realization made him jealous and crazy.

It seemed that only attacking Xie Ran could make him feel better. "Gu Jin was lost by you. What qualifications do you have to act like a big shot here? If anything happens to her, it will be you who killed her!"

There was a blood-red glow in the cold eyes, and Xie Ran's whole body was filled with chilliness, like a wild beast that had lost its mind.

"you wanna die!"

He drew the sword at his hand and threw it towards Xie Qing. The cold blade went straight to Xie Qing's face.

Xie Qing's pupils shrank suddenly and his body became stiff as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

At this moment, he deeply understood what murderous intent was.

Xie Ran actually dared to kill him...
