It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Lu Han could say anything, but when it came to really asking her to do it, it was impossible for her to not panic.

I thought my father would refuse after knowing this.

As a result, the father agreed immediately and said with a look of relief that none of his children were cowards.

After the eldest brother found out, he directly asked Li Yan to arrange two guards, and said nothing else.

By the time Lu Han reacted.

She was already sitting in Xie's front hall.

Unlike the imagined Xie family, the Xie mansion is very simple and even a little shabby.

But as he sat there, Lu Han felt a little stuffy in his chest.

It's not that she's not well.

It was a wave of oppression that came over me.

Correct.

She remembered that when she entered the house just now, wherever she passed by the servants, they were numb, walking numbly, cleaning numbly, like walking corpses.

Most importantly, the Xie family has no flowers or plants, and wherever you look, there are high walls.

Just then, she saw a woman walking slowly towards her.

Lu Han immediately stood up and walked over to greet him: "I've met Lu Han... I've met him..."

"I am the fourth aunt of Lin'an. If Miss Lu San doesn't mind, you can call me the fourth aunt." The person who came was Xie Yunhe, the current mistress of Xie family. Originally, the position of mistress was not hers, but Xie Yunting's wife, Princess Jinghe, would never condescend to be the mistress of Xie family.

However, someone has to take care of the internal affairs of the Xie family.

So with the unanimous consent of the Xie family, Xie Yunhe became the mistress.

"Hello, Fourth Aunt. I'm here today because..."

"Lin'an mentioned you to me." Xie Yunhe looked at Lu Han with loving eyes. "This is the first time I've seen Lin'an take the initiative to talk about a girl. His eyes are full of brilliance."

"He mentioned me?" Lu Han's eyes were full of surprise. "Is that why you agreed immediately after my mother handed in the visiting card?"

Xie Yunhe smiled and nodded: "There are many traps inside the Xie family, even servants can accidentally step on them, so I will take you to see Lin'an."

"He's at home." Lu Han felt relieved when he heard that Xie Lin'an was at home. "I thought I would have made a wasted trip."

"how come?"

Xie Yunhe curled the corners of her lips, and the next second she took out a veil from her sleeve: "Miss Lu San, put on the veil, and don't ask anything you hear later, just follow me."

Lu Han thought about what his sister-in-law said before he came here.

Observe more and talk less.

So she nodded and put on her veil immediately.

"Let's go."

Lu Han followed Xie Yunhe. The further they went inside, the quieter it became. Even with a veil on, he could still smell a faint odor of decay.

It seemed to be coming from under his feet.

Just as we passed a courtyard, we found that although the gate was closed, it was surrounded by walls.

But Lu Han suddenly heard laughter coming from inside, accompanied by screams from a woman.

Scream?

Lu Han's heart skipped a beat. He looked up at Xie Yunhe who was walking forward and instinctively slowed down his pace.

I want to hear the real thing.

Then Xie Yunhe turned his head and asked, "Why don't you follow me?"

"Oh, my calf is a little cramped. Maybe I'm too nervous." Lu Han laughed dryly, twisted his foot slightly, and followed.

She must have heard it right.

In the yard there was the sound of a woman's screams.

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at the courtyard where Xie Linan lived.

Unlike the yard we just passed, there are no high walls here and the view is very wide.

Even the door is hollowed out.

It seemed as if anyone who came over could take a peek.

Lu Han was not a sensitive person, but now, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Lin'an."

Xie Yunhe knocked on the door.

But the response was: "Go away."

Lu Han was stunned.

Such a fierce and cold tone.

"Lin'an, I'll bring..."

"it's me."

Lu Han took a step forward and took the initiative to speak: "Xie Linan, it's me."

After a moment of silence in the room, Lu Han heard three words: "You get out too."

Lu Han was so angry that she immediately reached her head. If Xie Yunhe hadn't been there, she would have kicked the door open.

"Lin'an, it's not easy for me to come here, you..."

"Fourth aunt, why don't you go out first, I'll talk to him." Lu Han has never been a patient person, looking at the two guards who followed him, "You retreat to the door and wait for me."

"Yes."

Xie Yunhe thought for a moment and nodded: "Then I'll go to the kitchen and prepare lunch for you."

"Thank you, Fourth Aunt."

After Lu Han watched Xie Yunhe leave, he began to knock on the door: "Xie Linan, are you going to open the door or not? If not, I will kick it open."

There was silence in the room again.

Then, Lu Han heard the sound of something falling heavily to the ground.

She got excited and kicked the door open.

Then I saw Xie Linan lying on the ground, sweating profusely.

"Thank you Lin'an!"

Lu Han quickly rushed over and tried to help him up, but he was pushed away: "Don't touch me."

"Xie Linan, you...what's wrong with you?" Lu Han was not angry. Instead, he clearly felt that something was wrong with Xie Linan. After carefully scanning his body, his eyes finally stopped at his legs, and he found that his legs seemed unable to move. "Xie Linan, what's wrong with your legs? Were you beaten?"

"Lu Han, who asked you to come to Xie's? This is not the place for you. Go back quickly." Xie Linan's eyes were red as he drove Lu Han away.

"I will leave after I finish asking you questions, but now..." Lu Han gritted her teeth, took off her veil, and went to help Xie Linan, "Besides, if you are like this, I will not feel at ease if I leave. At least you can lie down first."

When she tried to grab Xie Linan's arm, she clearly felt his body stiffen. She immediately softened her movements and looked at him nervously: "Did I touch your wound? Does it hurt?"

Xie Linan raised his eyes and looked at Lu Han.

Her eyes were clear and filled with concern, and her body was pressed tightly against him.

There is no disdain, nor any disgust.

She is so pure and beautiful.

But he had already been stuck in the mud.

"Lu Han, you shouldn't have come. You shouldn't have come."

Lu Han didn't know what Xie Linan had experienced since they last separated, but her intuition told her that what Xie Linan had experienced must have been very cruel to him.

"Don't worry, I brought guards with me, and my father said that if I'm not home in the second half of the night, he will bring people to the Xie family to demand my release." Lu Han said as he helped Xie Lin'an walk to the bed. "When I came to the Xie family, I found that each courtyard was surrounded by high walls. I just entered a courtyard and heard men laughing and women screaming. But when I walked to your courtyard, it was empty and looked unsafe. Xie Lin'an, now I know why you hate the place where you grew up so much."
