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

How could Xie Yin not have thought of this? He naturally understood Su Wan's thoughts, and he was trying his best to deal with them. But as he listened to Su Wan's cold analysis of all this, he still felt a little bitter in his heart.

That's right, what was he expecting? Did he want others to share his hardships? Did he have the qualifications?

"Can you trust me for a moment?"

"What do you believe?" Su Wan raised her eyes. "You're going to strangle me and kill me?"

It was like a thunderclap exploding out of nowhere, making Xie Yin's whole body numb.

Seeing Xie Yin so stiff and helpless, Su Wan appeared calm and composed, but her heart was already filled with turmoil.

She knew Xie Yin might be sincere now, and she knew she was indeed moved, but what about the future? Furthermore, Xie Yin's past karma hadn't yet been fulfilled, and there was no guarantee she wouldn't become his weak spot, which would ruin everything. She didn't want to see that outcome, and she didn't want to leave herself vulnerable. She had secretly vowed to live her life solely for herself and her family.

"Xie Shousi, go home. You can't leave the Xie family, and I'm not alone. We have the whole family behind us."

Xie Yin felt a pang of pain in his nose and smiled faintly.

After returning to the Xie residence, Pei went to Xie Sinian's study. She sensed that Su Wan was not a simple person, and she also knew that Xie Yin was different this time. She was afraid that she could not stop Xie Yin, so she could only turn to Xie Sinian for help.

Xie Sinian paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, waiting for Xie Yin to knock on the door and come in. He raised his head and looked at the person at the door, his eyes like knives.

"Why are you so flustered? Are you still impatient at your age?"

Xie Yin covered the wound on his waist and walked into the study. This time he did not refute.

"Xingzhi, apologize to your father quickly?" Pei stood up and said.

Xie Sinian glanced at Xie Yin and turned around to send Pei away.

"I heard that you and that girl from the Su family have been very close in recent days?"

Xie Yin raised his eyebrows, "Indeed, we have dealt with each other a few times."

"Why did you find her suddenly?"

"Of course I know that she and the Zheng family are not on good terms. This might be a good opportunity for me. Fortunately, she didn't let me down."

Xie Sinian's expression brightened slightly. "This woman is not completely useless. I think that although she can't be your legal wife, if you want her, I will let you marry her."

Xie Yin's eyes flickered and he sneered, "Father, you are kidding. I just took advantage of you a few times, so there's no need to think anything else about it. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Xie Sinian looked at Xie Yin's departing back, lost in thought.

After entering his own courtyard, Xie Yin relaxed his shoulders and said, "Tell the people around Su Wan that whoever comes to see Su Wan these days must pass on the message."

"Yes." Cang Yi said, "Jingzhe went to track those people. If I'm not mistaken, they are probably members of the Yu family again."

"What's the big deal about the Yu family or the Wang family? They're all just enemies. Our plan now is to make the situation between the Zheng and Liu families bigger."

Since Xie Yin had shut down Liu Wei's jewelry shop last time, he had taken advantage of the situation and had several other Liu family shops shut down, seizing a large amount of stolen money. However, the Liu family wasn't to be outdone. They first targeted refugees in the suburbs of Beijing, then had their own people impeach Xie Yin for his incompetence, saying he was a playboy and unfit to lead the Xuanwei Division. Yu Lang also took advantage of this opportunity to throw a lot of mud at Xie Yin.

Although the Wang family was also stirring up trouble, they generally remained on the sidelines. For a time, the court became a battleground between Xie Yin and the Yu family.

"As for the weapons depot, our people are still searching for it. The Zheng family has left a backup plan for themselves, so it will take time to find it successfully."

Xie Yin pressed his wound and said quietly, "Then add more fuel to the fire. I'm not afraid that he won't be exposed."

As the New Year approaches, the capital becomes bustling.

Ever since Su Wan and Xie Yin made their relationship clear, they haven't seen each other for four or five days.

"Master Xie has been visiting Yuening quite often these days. I heard he keeps bringing her food and toys in various ways. Yuening is extremely happy."

As if sensing Su Wan's unhappiness, Liu Yan signaled Liu Shang to shut up and said, "My lady, go to bed early. You still have to go to Bodhi Temple with the eldest son tomorrow."

Tomorrow is Laba Festival, a day for burning incense and praying for blessings.

Su Wan was lost in thought as she held the knee pad she was still sewing in her hand until she heard Liu Yan's reminder. She came to her senses, washed up, and went to bed.

The next day, Su Wan and Su Lin got up early and went to Bodhi Temple.

There was a light rain in the sky that day, and it was a bit chilly.

After Su Wan and Su Lin had burned incense, the rain still did not stop. They walked down the steps and out of the back door of the temple.

There have been a lot of things going on in the capital these days, and it was Laba Festival. The brother and sister were afraid of running into the officials' families, so they went down the mountain from the back door of the temple in a low-key manner.

"Are you cold?" Su Lin asked with concern.

Su Wan smiled and shook her head, then walked out the door with her brother's support. However, when they reached the corner of the stairs, Su Wan looked down and saw a red figure standing there. Besides Cang Yi, there was no one else.

But within a few days, Xie Yin's face became even more haggard. He stood there quietly watching the brother and sister, without an umbrella, and the rain soaked his coat.

Xie Yin approached the two of them, and Su Lin held Su Wan back.

"Xie Shousi, are you here to burn incense or to handle a case?"

Xie Yin ignored Su Lin's question and his eyes were fixed on Su Wan.

"I have something to say to you." Xie Yin stared at Su Wan.

"Thank you, Chief, please respect yourself!" Su Lin was displeased. "If you have any questions, you can ask me. Please don't embarrass my sister in public."

Su Lin was reminding Xie Yin to be careful and not to cause unnecessary discussion about Su Wan.

"I will be responsible for Madam Su." Xie Yin said calmly.

"You!" Su Lin's eyes were filled with anger. He wanted to argue further but was stopped by Su Wan.

"Brother, please give me some time."

"Wan'er!" Su Lin naturally would not give Su Wan and Xie Yin time to be alone.

"Brother, I'm grown up and naturally have my own judgment. Let me make my own decisions about my own affairs."

Su Lin choked, glanced at Xie Yin and walked aside.

Xie Yin came to Su Wan and looked up at Su Wan on the steps.

Su Wan tilted the umbrella and asked, "Why don't you open an umbrella?"

"I forgot because I was in such a hurry to go out." Xie Yin said softly.

He hadn't had the chance these days, so when he heard that Su Wan had gone out, he rushed to the temple just to see her, but he still couldn't help himself.

"What does Xie Shousi have to say?"

Xie Yin looked up at Su Wan, his dark eyes brightening. "I know I've caused you trouble these days, and I'm very sorry for that."

Su Wan's expression was calm. "It's nothing."

"I also know that you've been through a lot and have long since given up hope in love. I also understand that I posed a lot of threats to you from the beginning, causing you to feel insecure and unable to fully trust me."

"It's okay. I will protect your family with you. I will use my actions to prove my feelings to you. As for us, I won't force you. But I hope that if you ever want to get married, can you look back at me?"

Su Wan was stunned. Such humble words seemed out of place from the mouth of this devil. She looked at Xie Yin in disbelief.
