After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

Although the house was not large, the main hall was spacious. The group came to the side hall. The servants were busy putting the things Su Wan brought back from the south into the storeroom.

It was already deep winter, and the wind-swept lanterns outside the house made a noise as they bumped against the pillars.

"Yuening, let's go eat some roasted sweet potatoes, okay?" Fang Jinyue said with a smile while holding Yuening's hand.

"Okay, okay, roasted sweet potatoes are delicious. Bring one for Auntie, the hero, and the bastard."

"Yuening is a good child, and her mother is very happy."

The excited voices gradually faded away, and only Su Wan and Xie Yin were left in the room.

The charcoal fire in the house was burning brightly, and the whole room was warm. Su Wanzhi only felt the warmth on her cheeks.

She looked at the man in front of her with his arms folded, staring at her silently. Su Wan anticipated that Xie Yin might know what she had been hiding from him, but since this matter concerned her father, she could not be careless.

So she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said in a gentle voice: "I believe that Chief Xie has made a lot of progress recently?" After that, she looked at Xie Yin with a full gaze, and her smile was like the warm sun at dawn in spring, dispelling the chill and making people find a trace of warmth and hope in the cold.

Xie Yin's expression, which had been restrained, suddenly softened. He sensed Su Wan's cautiousness. However, he wasn't angry about Su Wan's defensiveness towards him, but rather that when she returned, she missed everyone else so much, but kept her distance from him.

He missed her every day after not seeing her for so many days. What about her? Was she missing him too?

Xie Yin had originally thought that he would just communicate with her in such a cold and clear manner today, but who would have thought that the person on the other side would make him lose the fight with just a smile. He suddenly felt that he was too spineless.

However, as Su Wan had said, the Zheng family was now instigating the Liu family to secretly transport the explosives to the Zheng family estate, perhaps using the Liu family as a stepping stone for another gamble. Yu Lang knew he couldn't persuade the Zheng family, and feared he would only bring trouble upon himself these days. As soon as he resigned, he hid in the mansion.

Xie Yin came to the table, first poured a cup of hot tea and placed it opposite him, then poured himself a cup.

Su Wan sat down at the table and heard the person opposite her ask with a smile, "Madam Su, have you been having fun these days?"

"Me?" Su Wan thought for a moment. "Of course I'm happy. If it weren't for Chief Xie in the capital, how could I be so worry-free? To be honest, I've always been grateful to you."

Xie Yin suppressed the corners of his mouth and stared at the person opposite him, thinking: He just knows how to talk, but doesn't know how to do anything practical.

Xie Yin moved closer, "Have you ever thought about how to repay me?"

Su Wan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Of course I want to thank Chief Xie, but I can't give it to him right now. But I wrote to my father yesterday and told him how much Chief Xie helped me. I hope he can help you and me achieve our wish. This time, I will do my best to help Chief Xie get what you want."

Xie Yin nodded slightly, his expression filled with satisfaction, and said slowly, "Of course I believe Madam Su, and I am willing to wait patiently for Mr. Su's reply. However, this is a previous agreement. Is Madam Su trying to get rid of me with this?"

Su Wan was startled and quickly looked up at Xie Yin. His eyes, which were originally as cold as frost and snow, now seemed to contain thousands of words and emotions. The tips of Su Wan's ears instantly turned red, and she hurriedly avoided the scorching gaze.

"Then how about I treat Chief Xie to dinner? I just heard Yuening say that Qianweilou has developed several new dishes in recent days. I see that Chief Xie loves the food there the most. Why don't I ask the servants to order the dishes?"

"Oh~ just a meal." Xie Yin seemed unsatisfied. He moved closer and his warm breath spread. Su Wan couldn't bear it this time and leaned back.

"My dear, do you know that I have been very busy these past few days and have been missing you and Madam Su..."

"Thank you, Chief!" Before Xie Yin could finish his words, Su Wan stood up and stared at Xie Yin with her eyes downcast. This made Xie Yin, who had just had a joking look on his face, frown instantly. Xie Yin looked at the figure nervously.

"Master Xie, you are so carefree and unrestrained. If you want to have fun, just go to some brothel. Why bother to humiliate me?" Su Wan looked at the person who stood up with red eyes.

Xie Yin stared at Su Wan in amazement. If it were anyone else, Xie Yin would have grabbed the man's neck and shouted viciously, "Who the hell are you? How dare you act so wildly against me? Are you tired of living?"

But now Xie Yin lowered his head with a look of grievance. He stood up and handed Su Wan a hot water bottle. "I saw your hands are red just now. Take this to warm them up."

Su Wan looked at Xie Yin in astonishment. Xie Yin frowned and took out two more jars of wine. "Madam Su has been gone for many days. I miss the wine we drank that day. Didn't you like it?"

Su Wan’s eyes widened even further.

Soon, the door opened wide and Cang Yi brought in a lot of food. Su Wan stared at the steaming food with wide eyes, all of which were her favorites.

"I heard Yuening say that you were coming back today, so I prepared these. The wine was heated up early. How about we eat and talk while we're having a meal in this cold weather?"

"So, your other thank you is for letting me drink with you?"

"Then according to Madam Su's opinion, what should I do?" He said with a wicked smile, "What? Ah?"

Before he could finish his words, Su Wan pushed him away.

Xie Yin hurriedly looked at Su Wan, only to see her face flushed red. Xie Yin's heart suddenly became nervous, "Did I say something wrong again?"

Su Wan was panting and didn't want to speak. She just looked at the table full of food and swallowed her saliva.

Xie Yin quickly caught on to Su Wan's change, "I was just trying to say, you said you rarely go to Qianweilou, when the weather gets warmer, I'll take you to the private room, the food there is even better."

Su Wan's expression changed. "Then can't you speak faster? Why are you laughing like that?"

Xie Yin lowered his eyes in grievance, "Can't I even play a joke on you?"

Seeing him like this, Su Wan was both angry and amused. "I'm hungry. Let's eat."

Xie Yin coughed lightly and said, "Squat down and pour the soup on the other side. You can drink it now."

Then he looked up at Su Wan and saw that the man opposite him had a slightly bright look in his eyes and a smile on his face. So he quickly picked up a piece of venison and placed it in front of Su Wan, "Try this."

Su Wan raised her pink lips even higher, and immediately picked it up and put it in her mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

"not bad."

……

The winter sun broke through the clouds, and the sunlight, wrapped in warmth, penetrated the window. Su Wan stood up slowly, stretched her waist lazily, looked out the window at the golden light, and couldn't help but smile.

"Are you so happy?"

Fang Jinyue, who followed Liu Shang in, had a teasing expression on her face, and Su Wan subconsciously wrinkled her nose.

"Auntie, why didn't you eat my roasted sweet potatoes yesterday?"

Yuening hugged the little boy and threw herself into Su Wan's arms, rubbing against Su Wan and acting coquettishly.

"Your aunt is full just by eating delicious food." Without waiting for Su Wan to answer, Fang Jinyue took over the conversation.

Su Wan glared at her, washed up with the help of Liu Shang and Liu Yan, had her meal, and then followed Fang Jinyue to the yard to dry sweet potatoes.

"You're using this excuse to fool your brother, but Yuening can't stay sick forever, right?"

Su Wan came up with a plan, "If all else fails, why not just say Yuening's mother is also ill?"

Fang Jinyue curled her lips and said, "We, mother and daughter, have become the bridge for your secret meeting."

"Not really."

Su Wan wanted to say that she stayed here because she wanted to find out what her father was hiding from her with Xie Yin's help. But then she thought, isn't this just a meeting? Su Wan didn't know how to refute it.

"My wife is not well." At this moment, Liu Shang came hurriedly to report.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Su Wan also frowned.

"A distinguished guest has arrived at the mansion." Liu Shang whispered, "It's Madam Xie."

Su Wan raised her eyelids, her gaze darkening. Fang Jinyue also stood up suddenly, a bad feeling forming in her heart.
