When Wei Jie's footsteps faded away, Xue Li realized that his heartbeat was beating like a drum, and a thin layer of cold sweat covered his back and palms. She breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with weak hands and feet. When the joy of disgusting Wei Jie dissipated, she was filled with a huge depression in her heart when she thought of all the time-consuming thoughts. She should have known that Wei Jie was so famous that even the head of Hengzhang County frequently showed his favor to him. A person like him has seen so many bees and butterflies, how could he be confused by her tricks. She is the eldest son of the Wei family, not the prince of Wu County whom she can tease.

Xue Li touched his lips and sighed helplessly.

That's all, at least you don't have to lie to him anymore.

The sun was getting stronger, and the chirping of cicadas made people's hearts confused. The waiters were drowsy, and most of them stayed in the room to take a nap. There were not many people in the house.

It wasn't until there was a noise from Yuhengju that the tranquility of the afternoon was broken. Loud and angry shouts could be heard just outside the courtyard gate.

Marquis Pingyuan came to Wei Mansion looking for someone in an aggressive manner, with an old riding whip tied around his waist. Everyone knew that he had a weird temperament and was difficult to get along with, so few people rushed to stop him. Unfortunately, Wei Heng was not in the house at the moment, so the servants had to go find Wei Jie to persuade Pingyuan Hou.

Although Wei Heng is strict, he treats others with dignity and courtesy, but he has always been dissatisfied with Pingyuan Hou's behavior. The Wei family is a rich family, and even a concubine would never marry low. Unfortunately, Pingyuanhou's wife was mute, and later she somehow managed to arrange a marriage with Pingyuanhou, a member of the declining gentry clan. Rumors said that Pingyuanhou had abducted her. At that time, Mrs. Wei was a pure-hearted lady, so Wei had no choice but to marry her daughter to him.

After Mrs. Hou's death, Wei Heng treated Pingyuan Hou even more coldly. Even so, whenever Liang Yan was punished, it was he who stood up to protect Liang Yan.

Liang Yan asked people to inquire about the intentions of several long history officials, and wanted to know whether he could get the official position of Sangongcao. He also carefully drafted several strategies for this purpose. However, now that he is in charge of Huangzheng Miao, and the famous families are recommending each other, in order to win over the Wei family and the Xiahou family, the strategy he submitted has not been carefully read, so he said to the other party in no uncertain terms that the position of the third Duke Cao will be left to him for the time being. Wei Jie.

Although Wei Jie has not yet entered the court as an official, he is already making suggestions for the emperor and the Wei family, and will take over Wei Heng's position sooner or later. Even though he had never submitted a policy article or intended to take charge of the prison, just because he was Wei Jie, he had to be put first in everything.

When Liang Yan received the letter, Wei Jie was not living in Yuheng.

He drank a pot of wine in a daze and lay on the porch in a daze, falling asleep.

When Marquis Pingyuan broke in, what he saw was that he smelled of alcohol. Anger shot straight to the top of his head, and he shouted loudly: "You bastard!"

Liang Yan was startled awake by his yelling, and before he could react, he was kicked to the corridor. Then a whip hit him hard, tearing his clothes.

Marquis Pingyuan was a martial arts practitioner. He was full of brute strength, and his whip made a sound when he swung it. The waiters on the side were frightened when they heard it. Liang Yan did not say a word, gritting his teeth and endured it.
