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

Seeing that the gift touched Su Wan's heart, Xie Yin felt a little proud.

"Mammy collected the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the spring. She happened to make some today, so I brought them here. The cheese is from Qianweilou. Theirs is the purest and most authentic. I thought I'd give it to you so you can try it."

Su Wan looked up, feeling that it was such a coincidence that they were all her favorite foods.

Perhaps out of shyness or perhaps out of guilt, Xie Yin simply couldn't bear the intense gaze. He felt his ears were about to burn, so he turned away and said, "Let's go. It's getting late."

Su Wan immediately arranged for Liuyan to help her cover up, and then she took Liushang and followed Xie Yin to the small courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.

The summer lotus flowers were in full bloom. When Su Wan passed by the pond and looked at the lotus flowers under the moonlight, the heat in her heart was swept away.

Hearing the child's voice, Su Wan turned her head and happened to see a little girl crawling into her arms, "Why did you come just now? Wuu ...

Su Wan had never coaxed a child before and was frightened by the crying. She looked at the person behind her helplessly.

Xie Yin quickly raised his hands and raised his eyebrows, saying, "I didn't bully her."

Jingzhe on the opposite side also said: "We don't have it either."

Su Wan squatted down and said softly, "Okay, stop crying. Look, we brought you some delicious food."

The little girl immediately stopped crying, picked up a piece of cake and started eating it greedily.

Su Wan took her hand and sat down under the pavilion. The servants tactfully laid out food and tea. Xie Yin sat across from them, watching the two happily eat their cakes. He felt the harmony was a little strange, but he enjoyed it.

"What's your name?" Su Wan looked at the little girl.

The child raised his head from eating pastries, blinked at Su Wan, and said in a baby voice, "Yuening, Zhang Yuening."

Su Wan's lips curled up, "Then your parents must love you very much."

Realizing Xiao Yuening's change in mood, Su Wan patted her on the back and said, "Don't be afraid, this is your home. You will have a home from now on. No one will dare to bully you. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell us. See? This brother will help you beat them."

Xiao Yuening was delighted, showing off her two rows of white teeth, which made Jingzhe beside her laugh. Jingzhe looked at Cang Yi and wanted to say that this kid was very interesting, but the guy looked reluctant, as if someone had robbed him of something. Jingzhe rolled his eyes at him, saying that he acted like a nagging woman every day, which was really a letdown.

Perhaps because of seeing Su Wan, Xiao Yuening felt particularly safe today. After eating and drinking, she asked Su Wan and Xie Yin to accompany her to sleep.

The two had no choice but to sit by the bed and coax the child to sleep. Su Wan patted Yuening gently and sang a ballad to her like others did.

Xie Yin propped up his chin and looked at Su Wan with a loving expression, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised. If it weren't for those profit calculations, she would have children now, telling stories to her children in front of the window, living a peaceful but stable life.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Wan's soft voice called Xie Yin's attention back. Seeing that the child had fallen asleep, Xie Yin pointed outside. Xie Yin took the wine jar and sat on the steps. Su Wan took two bowls and sat down.

Xie Yin tactfully poured some wine for Su Wan, "This is Qianweilou's new product. I heard it's good."

Su Wan's eyes lit up instantly. A new product! She'd thought the wine there was good when she'd gone drinking with her second brother before. Su Wan was naturally overjoyed, but Cang Yi, watching from the rooftop, felt even more heartbroken. Their young master was such a traitor! He was so focused on the two of them having fun, hadn't he noticed how tempted he was by the smell of the wine?

Su Wan and Xie Yin clinked their glasses and said, "Then I'll take advantage of Chief Xie's help today."

Xie Yin was amused. "Actually, I also heard what you just said to Yuening when I was a child."

Su Wan was puzzled. "What?"

"You said you would protect her and never let anyone bully her again. Someone else told me the same thing."

Su Wan suddenly became curious, "Was Xie Shousi bullied as a child?"

As soon as she asked the question, Su Ling's words came to her mind, and she suddenly understood something. Xie Yin was so infatuated with that prostitute. Could it be that the woman had saved him?

Seeing Su Wan's strange expression, as if she was watching a show, Xie Yin frowned, "You wouldn't be in a scene like a hero saving a beauty or beautifying an old hero, would you?"

"Is not it?"

"I'm talking about my brother!" Xie Yin said angrily.

Seeing that Xie Yin was a little impatient, Su Wan realized that she had lost her composure and straightened her posture.

"I have heard something about the Xie family's eldest son." Xie Huaijin, the eldest son of the Xie family, was a gentleman as his name suggests, but it was a pity that he died young.

Xie Yin lowered his eyes and sneered, "Do you also doubt whether I am his biological brother? How could the Xie family raise an unfilial son like me?"

Su Wan disagreed with Xie Yin's self-deprecation. "Shousi Xie doesn't seem like someone who would have low self-esteem. In my eyes, he's infinitely better than those so-called gentlemen. Everyone has their own personality. If everyone in this world were the same, then what would be the difference between Zhang San and Li Si?"

Xie Yin was somewhat surprised and secretly delighted by Su Wan's answer, which meant that he was not that bad in her eyes.

"So-called gentlemen, such as Zheng Yanchen?"

Su Wan said calmly, "He counts as one. I want to hear the story of Chief Xie and my brother."

Xie Yin raised his head and took a sip of wine, looking at the moonlight and recalling the past.

"Actually, I was always wandering around. When I was seven, my adoptive parents and their family all passed away for some reason. I wandered around for a year before returning to the Xie family when I was eight."

Xie Yin calmly recalled the experience, but Su Wan was very surprised because she had never heard of this story before.

Xie Yin continued, "I was completely unfamiliar with the place, and suddenly I had parents I had never met before. My father was always very strict and never smiled at me. I always felt like I wasn't from here, but my brother stood up and smiled and said to me, 'Don't be afraid, this is your home, and no one will dare to bully you from now on.'"

"and after?"

"Later." Xie Yin smiled bitterly, "Later, my brother really lost his life protecting me."

Xie Huaijin died at the hands of the aristocratic family. Since then, he and his mother became increasingly estranged. It was also at that time that he hated the aristocratic family even more.

"Without my brother, I've never been happy again in the Xie Mansion. Sometimes, I even feel like I never belong here. I don't know who I really am, and I don't know if there are certain paths I should take."

Su Wan's gaze fell on the man before her. He stared silently at the moon, his handsome face shrouded in a faint melancholy under the hazy moonlight. Su Wan's heart clenched, as she felt this man's life might be even more difficult than her own.

Su Wan pursed her lips and said gently, "You are Xie Yin. You are the legitimate son of the Xie family, the leader of the Xuanwei Division, and the emperor's most trusted person. You have your mission and your value." Su Wan also looked up at the moonlight. "The road in this world is inherently bumpy. Now that you have chosen your destination, why cling to where you came from?"
