In order to show that he was sincere, Xue Li did not hesitate to say the words he despised most, so that Wei Jie would not think that she was just trying to gain his power. I want to be the future wife of the Wei family. Although she loves power, she also knows that if she dares to covet this position, someone from the Wei family will definitely kill her, so why bother herself.

"Are you willing to die?" He smiled.

"That's natural." Xue Li answered without hesitation.

The flowing fireflies had gradually dispersed, leaving only a few weak fireflies in the room.

He retracted his hand and turned towards the door. Soon someone came into the room and lit the candles one by one.

After getting out of the darkness, Xue Li faced Wei Jie with a smile in his eyes. Thinking of what he had just said, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Would the aloof Wei Jie also be happy because of such straightforward sweet words?

He must have encountered many expressions of love from wild bees and butterflies, so why was he still moved by her words?

Xue Li was confused but also a little happy. After all, she was seducing no one else, but Wei Jie, who was worshiped as a god by the world. Thinking about it in the future, it would be considered a feat worth bragging about, wouldn't it?

"It's getting late. You'll stay in the side room for now. I'll send you back to Taoqiyuan early tomorrow morning. You must have thought about how to explain to Mrs. Yao."

"Cousin, I'll go to bed early."

"Let's go."

It was indeed getting late. Xue Li followed Liang Yan around in the fields. He didn't feel tired until now. After washing in a hurry, he almost fell asleep.

The maids of Yuhengju were all carefully selected to serve here, so even when facing Xue Li, they did not show contempt like others. She came to Yuhengju once in a blue moon, and her sleep was not very comfortable. She woke up several times during the night due to mosquito bites, and she kept tossing until the sky was dim. She simply got up to wash up, and wanted to go back to Taoqiyuan to deal with Yao Linghui.

After Xue Li dressed up, it was still dark, so she walked lightly to Wei Jie's bedroom.

The guard guarding the door was Jin Qing. When he saw it was her, he lowered his voice and reminded: "Young master is still resting.

"

Wei Jie's clothes were neatly dressed, with only his hair hanging slightly casually. Seeing Xue Li's haggard black eyes, he said: "Master will not go to the academy today. You will have a good rest after you go back."

After saying that, he nodded briefly and said: "Come in first, I have something for you."

Xue Li thought that Wei Jie regretted it and wanted to give her the box of pearls, but unexpectedly he followed Wei Jie to the bookcase. He took out a few books and handed them to her and said, "I made annotations on the books you read last time. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

Wei Jie caught the flash of disappointment in Xue Li's eyes. , reminding her: "Ms. Li, you can't want everything."

For a moment, Xue Li thought he meant something, his face changed slightly, he quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "I can't understand what my cousin said. ."

There was clearly a gentle smile on Wei Jie's face, but his pair of dark eyes were extremely indifferent, which made Xue Li's heart suddenly tighten.

At this moment, a burst of rapid and chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded, followed by a hoarse scream full of anger from a woman.
