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

Seeing Su Wan looking at her with a smile on her face, Pei's face darkened. "Tell me! What did he say to you?"

"Madam, you've misunderstood. Chief Xie, why would you say so much? It's just that after a few interactions, my daughter has nothing but admiration. Of course, I never have any unrealistic expectations."

Pei suddenly stood up, "Swear!"

She glared at Su Wan with red eyes like an enraged tigress, as if the girl opposite was an enemy who was trying to steal her precious food.

Su Wan was stunned for a moment, then calmly replied, "Madam Xie, the Xie family is a prestigious family, but my Su family is not one to be trampled upon. I've said several times that I have no extra feelings for Chief Xie. If you really mind, Madam, why not ask your son why he's provoking me? You're just wasting your time here. If you really push him, we can let others judge the situation."

Pei snorted and laughed. "Others? Are you using His Majesty to pressure me?"

"Are you threatening me?" Pei smiled, her chest heaving with anger.

"Don't dare."

"Very good, Su Wan, remember this. No matter how much Xie Yin protects you, he is still my son after all."

No one can take him away!

"You're worrying too much." Su Wan replied calmly.

Pei snorted and walked away.

Su Wan looked back at the angry figure and quickly ordered the secret guard to send a message to Xie Yin, asking him to be prepared. Little did she know that the secret guard had gone to Xie Yin to report the news the moment he saw Pei, but he had not returned yet.

Just because Xie Yin is stopped now.

The deep winter night was incredibly cold and silent. A chill wind blew through the deep woods, rustling the branches. Xie Yin and Cang Yi, both wearing dark cloaks, stood back to back, surrounded by six or seven men in black.

The cloak was blown up and a stream of blood dripped onto the ground.

"Young Master, our people are blocked and may not be able to come for a while."

Before Cang Yi could finish, the man in black spoke, "Xie Yin, hand over the military token. Otherwise, you will never be able to return to the capital."

Cang Yi gritted his teeth and pointed his sword at the person who spoke, "You're looking for death!"

They spent so much effort to get this military token but failed to get it, and today someone wants to use it as an excuse to get rid of them. How frustrating!

Xie Yin clenched his sword tightly, sternly observing the people around him. His poison had given them an opportunity to exploit. After several exchanges, he and Cang Yi were no match for each other in strength. It would take another half an incense stick of time for his men to arrive, so he couldn't force a fight.

"You're dreaming of stealing something from me! If you want the military token, have your master come to me. Otherwise, even if I die today, you won't get anything."

The man in black frowned in deep thought. What was going on? Didn't they just say they were going to increase the volume of the attack? Did Xie Yin actually get the military token?

"what!"

"They're coming!"

An arrow suddenly pierced the chest of the man in black, and he fell to the ground. The people next to him reacted and turned to look. At this moment, several more arrows came flying. Seeing this, the people in black thought that someone was coming to support them, so they left.

"Young lord."

Xie Yin looked up and saw that the person coming was the secret guard assigned to Su Wan. His heart tightened, "What happened to Madam Su?"

Secret guard: "It was the Madam who went to see the county lady. I was afraid that she would be in trouble, so I came to find you. I didn't expect that you were surrounded by people. She..." The secret guard wanted to say something else but found that there was no one around him.

When he looked up again, Xie Yin had already mounted his horse and was heading towards the capital.

"Madam, Xie Shousi is here!"

Before Liu Shang could retreat, he saw a figure flash over.

Su Wan looked up and saw the man in front of her looking at her breathlessly with a nervous expression. It was the first time she had seen Xie Yin like this.

Su Wan just thought that something had happened between them and their mother. She looked Xie Yin up and down and saw a large bloodstain on his cloak.

Su Wan's face was solemn. She hurried forward to take a closer look. "Are you injured?"

Xie Yin also observed Su Wan carefully. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the person before him, his heart relaxed a little. "Is your mother here to see you?"

Su Wan paused, this wasn't caused by the Xie family.

"My wife and I didn't have a big argument. First, take a look at your wound, and I'll explain it to you in detail."

Hearing this, Xie Yin frowned.

Su Wan brought the medicine and asked Cang Yi to help him change it. Fortunately, the sword was not poisonous, but Xie Yin had just suffered from the poison before the attack, and was not in good condition.

Su Wan helped Xie Yin feel his pulse. "Is the poison acting up?"

"I'm used to it." Xie Yin looked at the hand on his pulse and did not take it away in a hurry.

"What did my mother say to you?" Xie Yin couldn't wait to know what happened between them.

"Of course, I came to tell me to stay away from you." Su Wan put away the bottles and jars.

"Anything else? How did you answer?"

Seeing Xie Yin was a little nervous, Su Wan was puzzled. "What else? I said this is a matter between you and your son, and it has nothing to do with me."

Xie Yin breathed a sigh of relief. He knew his mother's temper well. She would never treat someone she disliked with favor. Xie Yin was worried that Su Wan wouldn't get any benefits, and he was also afraid that his mother would tell her about his behavior over the years. That was why he was so nervous.

But when he saw Su Wan so calm, he remembered that someone who wasn't even afraid of the royal family would naturally have a way to deal with his mother. However, he couldn't stop worrying. This was what Cang Yi said, that loving someone makes you nervous all the time, and you care more about what the other person thinks of you.

So, this is love.

"Thank you, Chief, your poison?"

"It's okay." Xie Yin stood up and said, "Don't worry, everything has been fine for so many years, there is no need to rush. It's getting late, you should have a good rest. We can talk about other things another day." He still had to go back to the Xie family to deal with his mother.

After saying this, Xie Yin was about to leave, but before he had walked out for long, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Did mother really not say anything else to you?"

"What else will you say?"

"For example, I have a bad temper and I kill people like crazy. Nothing good will happen if you stay with me..." Xie Yin became less and less confident as he spoke.

Su Wan tightened her arms around her waist, pursed her lips and smiled, "Master Xie, do you think this is wrong?"

Xie Yin paused for a moment, but then he heard Su Wan laugh, "I'm just kidding. You are definitely very good in the eyes of the Madam, otherwise she wouldn't have come to see me."

Su Wan continued, "Thank you, Chief. I will be returning to the Su family tomorrow. If there is anything, I will have the secret guards send a message to you, and you can do the same."

Xie Yin paused, as if something struck his heart.

He raised his head again and looked at the person opposite him dimly, "Why?"

"Why? We used to..."

"Is it because of Mother?" Xie Yin interrupted Su Wan, "You clearly wanted to see me before, right?"

Su Wan raised her eyelids, her expression tightening. "What is Chief Xie talking about? We only agreed on a deal. Now, I'm afraid this will bring unnecessary trouble to the Su and Xie families. We should also prepare in advance."

"But I don't want this to be just a deal." Xie Yin finally couldn't help himself. "I know our first encounter wasn't a happy one, and I also know my family might have made you unhappy, but I can handle all of this. Please trust me, okay?"

"How do we resolve this?" His eyes were calm as he asked, "You hold power, yet you can't even protect yourself. Do you think you can stand up to the entire Xie family? Or more precisely, the Yu family as well. You know the Xie family doesn't want us to have any contact, and the Yu family certainly doesn't. If this were to become known to the world, the Su family might become a common enemy of both the Xie and Yu families. Can you handle this? Can you protect me?"

Xie Yin stared at Su Wan in a daze, listening to the person opposite him calmly analyzing the interests involved.
