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

The flickering candlelight illuminated Xie Yin's face, which had once been cold and angular, now seemed even more gentle. He stared at Su Wan and said, "Just tell me, I will tell you everything I know."

"Do Chief Xie and Shen Wenqin have any plans that I'm not aware of?"

Xie Yin said without hesitation, "He sent someone to tell me that he had everything settled and was willing to stay in the Liu family and wait for the right opportunity." Xie Yin lowered his gaze and continued, "A long time ago, I thought about using him, but you found him for me, so I won't make a decision on my own. But he, Shen Wenqin, has made up his mind, so I can't say anything more."

Su Wan lowered her eyes. "I know he feels guilty, but it's not that easy to hide in the Liu family. I don't want him to die because of me."

"It's not just guilt." Xie Yin took over the conversation, "but the tragedy he caused is irreversible, so I don't think there's anything wrong with him doing this." Xie Yin smiled lightly, "If you blame me, that's common sense."

Su Wan's eyes flickered, her face calm, "I have no reason to blame you, I just want to ask for clarification."

Xie Yin had initially wondered if Su Wan would hate him even more if she figured out the situation and thought he had deceived her. But now that he saw how rational Su Wan was, he suddenly felt that he had underestimated her.

"What's the second question?" Xie Yin asked, twisting his fingers.

Su Wan was silent and looked at Xie Yin, "It's between me and Chief Xie."

Xie Yin restrained his smile and said, "We've worked together for a long time. I've seen your indifference and your gentleness. Are you like this to people you trust?"

The two of them had to have such close contact, and in order to avoid future trouble, Su Wan felt that she had to make it clear.

Xie Yin stared at Su Wan for a moment, then slowly spoke, "There are very few people around me I can trust. Aside from you, I won't expose my weaknesses. No need to ask why, you've already sensed it, right?"

For some reason, Xie Yin had never been so nervous before, but since he had to confess, he might as well confess it all.

Su Wan's face was a little serious. "I am a divorced woman."

"So what?" Xie Yin replied immediately, "You met the wrong person and your marriage is unhappy. It's not your fault. You left decisively at the critical moment. Your choice was right."

"Your family wouldn't approve."

"My affairs have nothing to do with them, and I won't let them hurt you."

"But I don't want to be burdened by love anymore."

Xie Yin paused, opening his mouth slightly to say something but unable to speak. He could change everything else, but he couldn't decide Su Wan's heart.

Su Wan lowered her eyes, not looking at the person opposite her. "I have always been grateful to you, and I know you are not as cruel as the rumors say. However, I do not want to have such a bond with a man again in this life. I hope that Chief Xie can understand."

Xie Yin's expression froze for a moment, then a smile suddenly appeared on his lips. "I understand. It's okay. The cooperation between you and me will not change."

"I will do my best regarding the military token." Su Wan continued.

Xie Yin still maintained his smile and nodded, saying, "Mrs. Su is certainly trustworthy. Can I still go see Yuening?"

Su Wan was surprised. She hadn't expected Xie Yin to care so much about Yuening. Besides, he had saved Yuening, and the child had already accepted him. He didn't need to ask for her opinion every time.

"Of course, in Yuening's eyes, you are her savior and her family. I have no right to interfere with whether you meet with Yuening or not."

Xie Yin looked at Su Wan with a deep gaze. He had always wanted everything he wanted, and even if he encountered obstacles, he would force his way through them. But it wasn't until he met Su Wan that he realized some things couldn't be forced. It wasn't that he hadn't considered rejection; if it was because of that bastard, he could wait until she turned her attention to him. But Su Wan's answer made him feel like he was walking into a swamp.

After a moment, he stood up and said, "I have one more thing to tell you. Your uncle may know something about your aunt's matter. Be prepared."

Su Wan was not surprised, "It's only a matter of time."

"This is your family affair. I have no right to interfere. But if you need help, just tell me."

Xie Yin gave the instructions calmly, but seeing the disappointment in his eyes, Su Wan felt a little reluctant.

She smiled and said, "Okay."

Xie Yin, feeling somewhat lost, saw that gentle smile, and his disappointment instantly dissipated. Her smile was always so powerful, warming those in the cold and giving hope to those in the dark. When would he be able to see a smile like that more often? He was indeed greedy, Xie Yin thought.

Xie Yin stretched out his hand in front of Su Wan, and Su Wan looked down and saw that it was a short blade.

"You were conferred the title of County Lady. I was thinking about what gift to give you. After much searching, I found this to be the most practical."

Su Wan looked at the short blade and felt that it was too valuable and she shouldn't accept it.

"This food and drink is the greatest gift, but this short blade is too valuable to accept."

"Don't worry, I volunteered." Xie Yin would not refuse, "I won't ask you to pay anything more."

As he spoke, he drew out the scabbard and pressed the mechanism on the handle. The blade could actually extend. Xie Yin handed it to Su Wan, who took it because she couldn't refuse.

"I'm going to Lingnan in the next two days. I don't know how long it will take for me to come back. If you need anything, just go find Jingzhe. There will be secret guards following you when you go out on weekdays, but you must not leave the city. And I have arranged one person at Yuening's place. I'm afraid that too many people will attract attention."

Seeing that Su Wan was listening carefully to his instructions, Xie Yin teased, "Madam Su is so well-behaved, it's hard for me not to be moved."

Su Wan was startled, and after a pause she said, "Be careful on your way."

Xie Yin nodded, "I will definitely keep your instructions in mind."

Xie Yin looked at Su Wan greedily and left.

The next day, a young eunuch from the palace arrived with a decree of reward and bounty. Su Wan accepted the decree, but seeing that Su Yanshu remained silent, she went to see her grandfather and then returned to the courtyard. For the next fortnight, she remained indoors.

Until this day when she came back from visiting Yuening, she saw Jiang Yun standing at the gate of the yard staring at her coldly.

"What's the matter?" Su Wan asked.

"Did you kill my mother?" Liu Shang's eyes were filled with great anger.

Su Wan frowned, "Do you know what you are saying?"

"I just asked if you are or not."

"Of course not!"

Jiang Yun smiled coldly, "Yeah, how could a murderer admit to killing someone personally?"

She gritted her teeth and stepped forward, pushing away Liu Shang who was blocking Su Wan's way. She grabbed Su Wan's wrist and said, "Let's go! Let's go talk to Grandpa!"

Since Su Yanshu was not around, she just went to her grandfather to seek justice. She wanted to let her grandfather see that it was his most beloved granddaughter who killed the daughter who loved him the most!

"Madam Jiang, please say it nicely. What are you doing? The old lord is in poor health. Aren't you afraid that his old illness will relapse by making such a fuss?" Liu Shang persuaded.

But Jiang Yun didn't care about all this. Her mother was dead, so would she care about anything else?

"What are you doing?" Su Yanshu stood at the end of the corridor and looked at the people approaching.

Jiang Yun's face was grim. "Now that my uncle is back, I'll let him judge the matter!"
