Chapter 36
Xue Li did not expect that Zhao Tong would ask so straightforwardly in public. Nowadays, although there are rumors between her and Wei Jie, they are just secretive. However, if she admits it in public, her deep love for Wei Jie will definitely spread, and if she gets involved with Liang Yan in the future, she will definitely attract a lot of ridicule.
There is nothing wrong with pretending to be pitiful.
She frowned slightly, with a slightly downcast expression, and laughed at herself: "The eldest son is as noble as clouds, and I am as small as dust, so I dare not have wishful thinking. King Junshan should not say such things in the future. If anyone wants to know, I'm afraid It is damaging to the reputation of the eldest son..."
As soon as these words came out, Xue Li seemed particularly pitiful and pitiful. Some listeners could even imagine the scene of her being ridiculed and ridiculed because of her low birth and not being worthy of Wei Jie, so that Even Wei Yun recalled what she had said before, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.
Zhao Tong was silent and then said: "Those who treat you sincerely will not care about your family background."
Xue Li almost wanted to sneer, but he just said it nicely. Men in the world are always the most deceitful and cunning, and there is no one who doesn't care about their birth status. Only a woman who has been taught etiquette to the point of losing her head will be willing to elope with a commoner who has nothing.
Although her father is now a businessman who is despised by the nobles, he is shrewd and selfish enough to coax her mother-in-law into her heart.
Wei Jie cares, and Liang Yan must also care. Zhao Tong said he doesn't care, but it's just because he doesn't need it now. He already has great power, and marrying a famous family will be regarded as ambitious. If one day he needs to marry to win over power, I am afraid that his wife will be kicked away even if she is still alive.
Xue Li couldn't bear it anymore and lowered her eyebrows, pretending to be sad. Zhao Tong knew that he had offended her, so he wisely said nothing more, leaving only one thought-provoking sentence.
"I'll wait for you to come find me in the future."
After saying that, he left, and Wei Yun urged his servants to drive their horses with a cold face.
Xue Li didn't take his words to heart. She held onto the car wall and asked Jin Zhen, "Did your cousin ask you to come?"
Jin Zheng said nothing and just nodded indifferently.
It would be okay if Jin Qing was left behind, but it was Jin Zheng who seemed to be mute. Xue Li had no way to deal with him, and he probably couldn't figure out the reason, and he became more and more impatient.
Wei Yun also had a sullen face, glanced at Jin Zheng, and said quietly: "My cousin is really interested in you."
She simply remained silent and did not refute.
The two of them were disturbed by the sudden appearance of Xia Houxin, so they didn't say anything else on the way, and they dispersed early after returning home.
Yao Linghui was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air. Two lanterns were hung on the trees, illuminating a slightly satisfied smile on her face.
"What good thing happened to my mother-in-law?"
Yao Linghui snorted coldly: "The disaster that happened to the Xue family is not a great thing. There was a rebellion in Wu. Your uncle and the others were rushing to please the King of Huaiyin. Now, Instead, they were implicated, so you wrote and asked me to go and say a few good words to your uncle."
When they left Wu County, the Xue family's elders still mocked them for going to the Wei family to fight in the autumn wind. The people of the Wei family would definitely ignore them. Yao Linghui was elated and felt completely comfortable.
Xue Li couldn't help but feel a little worried. A few days ago, he only heard that a vassal king was revolting. He never thought that even the Xue family could be involved. I'm afraid this matter will not be settled. Now that the Wei family has also intervened, I am afraid that Marquis Pingyuan will also lead troops to quell the chaos soon, so it is better not to involve Liang Yan.
Xue Li returned to the house worriedly, and when he saw the piano on the table, he remembered Wei Jie who was far away in Jizhou. He gave her a piano and asked her to practice it and check it out when he came back. In the past, she would have done anything to please him. Now that Liang Yan was interested in her, she naturally had no extra energy to spend on Wei Jie.
"Move the piano out of the way." When she sat down to drink tea, she noticed a cold fragrance in the bedroom. She was familiar but couldn't name it, and asked aloud: "What is burning today?" The fragrance seems different from the past."
When the maid who was making the bed heard the sound, she stopped and replied: "The eldest son ordered someone to give the fragrance to the lady."
Xue Li then remembered that she casually said that she liked Wei Wei a few days ago. Noticing the smell on Jie's body, he ordered someone to bring the incense from the lavender clothes. It was obvious that she felt the smell was so good that day that she couldn't help but get closer and smell it a few more times. Maybe it's because I've been in the house for a long time, but when I smell the same fragrance today, I don't feel the same way I did that day.
Perhaps just like Wei Jie, when you first meet him, you will only see his nobility and elegance. After a long time, you will feel that although he is famous, he has a boring temperament, so it is best to observe him from a distance.
The government of Qi State has long been in chaos. It is not uncommon to bend the law for personal gain and embezzle military pay. There are countless unjust, false and wrong cases. As if to give the newly appointed Liang Yan a warning, he had to deal with a mountain of files when he first took office. In order to prevent the people below him from violating the law, he had to go to prison for interrogation himself.
Due to the lack of sunlight all year round, the prison had a cold, damp musty smell, as well as some unspeakable fishy stench.
Liang Yan did not back down because of this, but became more and more courageous as he became more frustrated. In addition, Wei Heng was secretly managing the situation. Even though there were people from the Taiwei Mansion trying to make things difficult for him, his colleagues did not dare to trick him openly.
He was busy for several days and did not even go back to the Marquis Mansion. Although Sangong Cao's job was hard and tiring and not as smooth as he thought, and he was not favored by his relatives and friends, he could still do what he wanted to do, at least in the future. I don't regret it when I think about it. As Xue Li said, just do it, why bother about success or failure.
Thinking of Xue Li, his heart suddenly softened, and his fatigue seemed to disappear a lot.
When he had some leisure time from the government affairs at hand, it was already late at night when he returned to the Marquis Mansion. On the way to the carriage, he suddenly became interested and wanted to go to the depression to see the fireflies.
In the past, it was because of depression in my heart, but tonight my mood is completely different.
What he didn't expect was that when he approached the depression full of fireflies, he would see a familiar figure.
"Mother Oriole?"
Xue Li sat on the stone with a lantern, a lantern placed beside her, the dim yellow halo illuminated the sky and the earth, and also covered her with a hazy clear glow.
Liang Yan almost thought that the person in front of him was just an illusion that he saw when he was tired and dizzy, and would turn into nothing and disappear as soon as he got closer.
"The Crown Prince?
" , responded: "It's okay. I'm not here today because I'm upset, I just want to see the scenery."
Xue Li said regretfully: "It's a pity that there aren't many fireflies tonight. I waited for a long time, and there were only a few here and there." There are so many flying here and there, I'm afraid that your visit is in vain." Especially these annoying mosquitoes made her miserable. She came here for several days in a row without meeting Liang Yan, and she was just thinking about how she would go there in a few days. He didn't come, but he finally bumped into him tonight.
"If I can see you, tonight will not be in vain." After Liang Yan finished speaking, he reminded her: "If you want to see the scenery, you have to have someone accompany you in the future. You are alone in the barren mountains and ridges. I really don't feel at ease."
"The guards are not far away, Prince, don't worry." Jin Zheng followed her for several days, but couldn't get her to leave. Even Aniang couldn't help but ask her several times.
The cold wind made Xue Li flinch, and Liang Yan frowned and said, "It's cold at night, so let's go back early."
Xue Li nodded and stood up carefully, but his movements seemed a bit weird.
"But what's wrong with you?"
She whispered, "I just twisted my foot. I sat down to rest for a while, but it's still a little difficult to walk..."
"The guard doesn't care?" Liang Yan said in a low tone.
How did she know? After all, she was Wei Jie's bodyguard, so she was just as uninteresting as him.
Liang Yan reached out to help Xue Li, but she suddenly tilted her body and almost fell forward, but he held her waist and stopped her back. In this way, the two of them appeared extremely intimate, as if they were hugging each other.
She immediately tried to retreat in a panic, but Liang Yan let go of her hand helplessly. When he saw Xue Li squatting down in pain, he quickly went to help her and said helplessly: "If you are willing, I can carry you into the carriage first. "
Xue Li nodded gently after being silent for a long time.
Liang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and carefully carried Xue Li on his back. There was a faint fragrance on her body, and when her hair hung down, it swayed slightly with his movements, sometimes touching his cheek.
She is so light...
Liang Yan couldn't help but think in his heart, and then a chill went down his neck. Something cold seemed to have slipped into his clothes along the hem, like a flexible little snake, causing his steps to become chaotic.
It's Xue Li's hair.
His palms were sweating unknowingly, and his steps were extremely stiff. He almost didn't know how to walk.
"Ms. Zhou, who is related to the prince by marriage, must be a very good person, right?"
Xue Li spoke cautiously, with a hint of loneliness and unwillingness in his tone.
Liang Yan's throat was dry, as if there were rough stones blocking his throat, making it difficult to even speak.
"She has a gentle temperament, is dignified and polite, and rarely gets into trouble with others. The elders in the clan also love her."
After hearing Liang Yan's answer, Xue Li remained silent for a while.
He thought he had said it poorly, and was about to add a few words when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. There was no sign of rain falling around him. Realizing that the tears that had just fallen were Xue Li's tears, he suddenly stopped in his steps. The skin that had just been touched by the tears felt as hot as if it had been burned by fire.
"Mrs. Zhou is good in everything, and she doesn't complain that everyone says she is a good match for her cousin. Even his cousin treats her differently... If it were me, I would also like such a woman... How could I be with her? Compared to Mrs. Zhou." Xue Li's tone was nasal, sounding extremely aggrieved.
Liang Yan guessed that she was ridiculed because of Wei Jie. After all, Wei Jie and the Zhou family had discussed marriage, so it was inevitable that she would be mentioned together with Zhou Suyin. A noble family has the most important position, and the comparison between the two will definitely reduce her to nothing.
"What others say doesn't matter." Liang Yan immediately retorted to her. "If Lan Zhang really likes you, millions of people in the world are not as good as you, and no one can compare with you."
Xue Li's cry gradually faded, and his warm breath spread on the back of his neck. "In your heart, Lady Zhou is the best person in the world?"
He was speechless. After being silent for a while, he said helplessly, "Mrs. Zhou and I are not in love."
This sentence was enough, Xue said. Lili was secretly happy in her heart, but regretted: "If I were Mrs. Zhou, I would be extremely happy. Not only can I be favored by my cousin, but I can also make a marriage contract with the prince..."
Hearing Xue Li's words, Liang Yan also felt a little moved in his heart. , but thinking of her infatuation with Wei Jie, she couldn't help but feel depressed and didn't respond again.
After sending Xue Li back to the carriage, Liang Yan turned around and wanted to leave, only to find that the figure hiding in the dark had been following them silently for a long time.
It wasn't until the man glanced at him and jumped onto the carriage without saying a word that Liang Yan saw clearly that he was Jin Zhen.
Wei Jie returned to Luoyang much earlier than expected. Just to avoid any trouble, the matter was not publicized.
After he returned home, Xue Li did not come to Yuhengju to see him immediately. After asking, he learned that Liang Yan was exhausted due to busy official duties, and Xue Li went to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion with others to visit him.

Chapter 37
Liang Yan has a good temper and has always been kind to others. After he fell ill, there was an endless stream of people visiting him, including many girls from the noble family. Xue Li followed Wei Yun without looking out of place.
Wei Yun was reluctant to come at first. Liang Yan fell ill and had little to do with her. It's just that Xue Li claimed that she was in love with Liang Yan, and it was rare to make a good friend in Luoyang who she could talk to. Although she was reluctant, she still didn't reject her and accompanied her to the Hou Mansion to visit Liang Yan.
The Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is sparsely populated, no more than the Wei family, which has been a century-old family. There are not many servants in the mansion, making it seem a bit deserted. On the contrary, these young men and ladies who suddenly came to visit made the Hou Mansion a little more lively.
It was rumored that Liang Yan was ill, but it was not a big deal in reality. It was just that he was at odds with others in the government affairs. In addition, he was young and energetic and had little qualifications. Others were stumbling on him behind his back, which was enough to make him very busy. It's not a good day to rest. But he didn't have a good rest. When he was arguing with others, he was so angry that he suddenly fainted. After going home and sleeping for a day, the rumors spread to everyone.
Friends came to visit and found out that he was fine, and they left after laughing and cursing. When Xue Li and Wei Yun came to the door, Hengzhang County Lord was walking back and saw Xue Li there. Thinking of all the rumors about her and Wei Jie, he couldn't help but call her out.
"When did you become friends with Liang Le'an?" Her tone was quite dissatisfied, her eyebrows slightly raised, looking a bit domineering.
Xue Li paused and glanced at her timidly. Before she could speak, Wei Yun stepped in front of her and answered for her: "He likes to meddle in other people's business. He helped Ms. Li several times before. Mother is kind-hearted, so there is nothing wrong with her coming to visit him. Does the county master have anything to say?"
County master Hengzhang glanced at her and said, "He has done a lot to win people's love, but you dare to let her have sex with her? Liang Le'an comes and goes."
"If it can be snatched away, it is not sincere, not to mention there are not many short-sighted people like Zhou Suyin." Wei Yun and the head of Hengzhang County are both arrogant people, and neither of them can speak. Willing to give in to anyone.
"I actually forgot that even if Le'an doesn't rob her, given her status, I'm afraid she's not qualified to be a concubine." The Lord of Hengzhang County was very mean when he spoke, not afraid of offending anyone at all, as if he wanted to To anger Xue Li, who would have thought that she didn't look angry at all, but still looked miserable and aggrieved. On the other hand, Wei Yun beside her looked sullen.
Xue Li tugged on Wei Yun's sleeve and said softly: "The county master is right, Ms. Li's body is as small as dust, and she dare not miss her cousin."
Seeing her calm reaction, the county master Hengzhang felt bored and didn't want to There was a dispute with Wei Yun in the Hou Mansion, and he left after laughing.
Wei Yun was a little frustrated and said as he walked away: "If others insult you, you will only tolerate it. You should always say a few words for yourself." "
There is nothing wrong with what the county master said. Could it be that my sister thinks that in the future, my cousin Will you marry me?" Xue Li's tone was quite calm, and Wei Yun couldn't even hear how sad he was. It was clear that this was exactly what she wanted, but hearing Xue Li say this made her feel inexplicably depressed. She didn't respond to her words for a long time, as if she had become a villain who ruined people's marriages.
Xue Li was not without irritation in her heart. She hated others to belittle her and trample on her. Even though she was of low origin, it did not mean that she was someone to be amused and humiliated at will. Wei Jie disliked her, so she wanted him to taste the feeling of being teased, but she knew in her heart that she was nothing to Wei Jie, but she could only make him feel annoyed when he thought about it in the future.
After all, why should he care about her? How could the aloof eldest son of the Wei family lower his status and marry a woman of low birth like her?
In the eyes of famous families, family status is the measure. Most people who came from a noble family looked down upon poor families. Even if they were to starve to death someday, they would not bother to eat food handed to them by people from a poor family. They would rather die holding on to their scholarly integrity.
Although the Xue family was not from a poor family, because Xue Ke became a low-class businessman halfway, Xue Li and Yao Linghui were also ridiculed. The Wei family was willing to help them, which was considered extremely kind. Even with her background, trying to get into the fourth house of the Wei family, which is now in decline, is a wishful thinking without Wei Zhi's help. How can Wei Jie marry her.
Isn't the reason why she blatantly seduced Wei Jie but still managed to gain a foothold in the Wei Mansion because everyone never took her seriously and waited to see her joke?
Xue Li caught a glimpse of Wei Yun's expression and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. She would not be disappointed by this, nor would she feel the slightest guilt towards Wei Jie. Being able to be her stepping stone would not necessarily harm him in the slightest. After all, she was also a beauty. She had been coaxing and pleasing him for so long, and it was clearly him who had benefited.
When the two of them saw Liang Yan together, the visitors in the mansion had dispersed sporadically. It was obvious that Liang Yan did not expect that the two of them would come. After hearing the waiter's announcement, he quickly cleared the table. Xue Li and Wei Yun walked into the room and saw him hurriedly pressing the scroll on a pile of calligraphy and paintings.
When Xue Li approached, the calligraphy and painting were covered tightly. She only caught a glimpse of a touch of goose yellow on the painting, but she already made a conclusion in her heart.
Wei Yun said coldly: "What are you hiding for? It's just a few calligraphy and paintings. Your skills are so poor that you are embarrassed to see others?"
Liang Yan's face turned red because of her anger, and he said angrily: "You came to visit people, you said He didn't even say a nice word."
"It's not like I came here willingly. If Mother Li hadn't been kind-hearted and wanted to see you, I wouldn't have..."
Wei Yun said any harsh words later, but Liang Yan couldn't hear them. He was secretly happy in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his joy, and could only suppress himself not to look strange.
Xue Li sounded worried and asked him warmly: "Is the prince feeling better now?"
"It's nothing serious, why would you come to visit..." When he spoke, he dared to look at Xue Li's expression and meet her clear eyes. He opened his eyes and his face felt hot again.
There seemed to be a secret and silent undercurrent flowing in the room. The chaotic emotions in Liang Yan's heart were stirred up, making him even more unable to suppress the restlessness in his heart.
Xue Li still smiled at Yan Yan and chatted with him as if nothing had happened. The occasional mention of Wei Jie in his words was like a thorn pricking his body. Even if it was not enough to hurt, it would still make him feel extremely itchy.
Wei Yun interrupted the conversation between the two and urged: "Since you are safe and sound, we should go back home."
She glanced at Xue Li and called her impatiently: "Mother Li, let's go."
Xue Li nodded obediently and said, "I hope the prince is in good health. My sister and I will leave first."
Liang Yan stood upright and motionless, but felt that his body seemed to be falling continuously, and he could not reach the right place no matter what. .
He suppressed the loneliness in his eyes, nodded and smiled: "Okay, thank you for coming to see me."
Wei Yun walked a little fast, Xue Li ran to catch up with her, but accidentally stepped on the edge of her skirt, and his body suddenly tilted Fortunately, I held the desk in time so that I didn't fall to the ground. However, the books on the desk fell apart, and the inkstone trembled and splashed a lot of ink spots.
Liang Yan came to help her anxiously. Xue Li quickly apologized and leaned down to pick up the scattered books on the ground. Liang Yan said hurriedly: "No need, as long as you are not hurt, let the servants come and sort it..."
He will The books were piled back on the table, but a little late, Wei Yun saw the picture of the beauty that was mostly exposed.
Wei Yun's eyes narrowed, and he quickly took the beauty picture away regardless of Liang Yan's wishes. Liang Yan hurriedly tried to fight for it, but it was of no use.
Liang Yan studied under a famous teacher, and his beautiful figures are so exquisite that even if you just take a look at them, they are unforgettable. Wei Yun thought the person in the painting was Zhou Suyin, and wanted to tease him a few words, but when he saw the woman in the painting, her expression suddenly darkened, her anger shot straight to the top of her head, and her eyes seemed to tear him apart.
"My cousin has not treated you badly, and the Wei family has never treated you badly. It's just Zhou Suyin, and now you have such dirty thoughts towards Ms. Li. You are so narrow-minded, and you deserve to be inferior to your cousin in every way!"
Liang Yan's face was pale, and the drawing paper in his hand was wrinkled and almost shattered. In an instant, the affection he had so painstakingly concealed was revealed. What would Xue Li think? Like Wei Yun, do you think that he has a despicable mind, is not as intelligent as Wei Jie, and has a completely different character? Knowing that he had such thoughts, she would definitely hate him in the future and never want to look at him again.
Liang Yan was cold all over and stood frozen without refuting, not even daring to look at Xue Li.
He never heard her voice, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart. In any case, at least Li Niang knew what he was thinking. He never expected Li Niang to abandon Wei Jie and fall in love with him. This was an extremely difficult thing. A hopeless thing.
But he couldn't help but think viciously, what about Wei Jie? He has no ambitions and will marry a girl from a famous family. Then Li Niang will be sad and sad. If he saves her from the fire, will she still treat her badly? Wei Jie was so determined that he could not succeed.
Liang Yan slowly released his fingers and let the beauty picture fall to the ground, fully visible to Xue Li.
He was not ashamed, just looked at Wei Yun indifferently, and said: "I am not the only one who loves the Oriole Mother. How can Wei Lanzhang's love be a kind of pity from above, while my love can only be dirty."
Wei Yun thought . She was about to sneer, but Xue Li grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. After being silent for a long time, she finally made a move, and Liang Yan looked at her uneasily.
However, there was no disgust on Xue Li's face, and the emotions in her eyes were mixed, which seemed to be shock and sadness.
"Sister, don't say it anymore. The prince just...just said it as a joke. Don't take it seriously...this has never happened before." "
It's not a joke." Liang Yan stared at her closely and followed him. The buried affection was revealed, and the turbid air held in his chest seemed to dissipate at this moment. "I do admire you."
Xue Li tried his best to get Liang Yan to say this. Regardless of whether he was motivated or not, Xue Li couldn't help but secretly rejoice at this moment. She subconsciously held her breath, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and even his figure became blurred.
Wei Yun didn't have the patience to listen to Liang Yan's confession, so he angrily pulled Xue Li away. Liang Yan did not stop them and let them go. Wei Yun cursed Liang Yan with her few vicious words along the way.
Xue Li didn't agree, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. The fact today was that she had acted too hastily. If she had known this, it would have been better for her to come to the Marquis Mansion alone so that Liang Yan would not be forced to express her feelings. It would be better to give her a little more time to figure it out, and then draw a clear line with Wei Jie after her reputation is preserved.
Now it seems that she has no choice but to put all the blame on Wei Jie.
Thinking of this, she interrupted Wei Yun: "Sister, why are you so angry?"
Wei Yun frowned at her and said, "I told you before that Liang Yan had better win the love of others. Anyone who wants to be loved by my cousin He tried his best to snatch away the object, even his marriage to Zhou Suyin was snatched away from him. Now that he covets you, he just treats you as a plaything and will never marry you, but you are not angry. ?
” I, cousin, are you willing to marry me?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Wei Yun expectantly, but Wei Yun really stopped and couldn't even say words of comfort. He could only watch her eyes gradually change. For disappointment.
After a while, she said: "It's not your fault. I won't tell my cousin, and you are not allowed to meet Liang Yan again in the future."
Xue Li agreed casually and did not take her words to heart. Even if Wei Yun didn't say anything, Wei Jie would quickly see that she had to get rid of him sooner.
It was already evening when we returned home, and the vast sunset glow dyed the sky red, like a raging fire rising from the sea. The glow of the rays of light makes this magnificent building become eccentric and eccentric.
Xue Li looked at the carved beams and painted buildings of the Wei Mansion, always feeling that beautiful spirits would emerge from the shadows at any moment and drag her away, biting her flesh and blood in the dark.
"Mother Oriole."
Suddenly a voice came from afar, pulling her thoughts back, but making her feel an inexplicable chill down her spine.
Wei Jie held Qin in his arms and stood at the end of the corridor looking at her, with his usual gentle smile on his face. "Mother Oriole, I'm back."

Chapter 38
Wei Jie returned to the Wei Mansion much earlier than Xue Li expected, so seeing him suddenly made her feel unprepared and panicked.
She felt tense at first, then forced out a smile and walked quickly towards Wei Jie.
"Why did my cousin come back early?"
Wei Jie lowered his eyes and stared at her.
"Everything has been taken care of. I want to come back to see you as soon as possible."
Xue Li's heart seemed to be wrapped in a layer of cold and hard ice. Wei Jie's gentle words were like a small hammer tapping lightly, which could only make her My heart trembled slightly, but it was not enough to shake the cold ice.
"Why bother running around and working so hard for me? I'm just here and not going anywhere. My cousin's health is the most important thing." There was
a look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile on Wei Jie's face. Hearing Xue Li's words, he Said: "It's getting late, let's go back."
Xue Li followed Wei Jie, his eyes falling on the shadows lengthened by the setting sun of the two. She glanced at Wei Jie beside her, and couldn't help but think about his expression when he learned the truth in the future. Will he still be as peaceful and peaceful as he is now?
But... even without Liang Yan, she and Wei Jie would have nothing to do in the future.
Wei Jie returned to Wei Mansion before Wei Heng, so he didn't have to worry about being disciplined all the time. Xue Li originally wanted to use Wei Heng to reject him, but this time she couldn't. She couldn't help but worry about what she would do if Wei Jie asked her to go to Yuhengju and want to be gentle with her.
However, who would have thought that he called her here just to check how her piano practice was going.
Xue Li is not proficient in music, and he only gets close to Wei Jie in the name of practicing the piano. Naturally, he will not study diligently. You have not made any progress in the past few days, and even his attitude can be called casual and perfunctory. Especially... leaning next to Wei Jie, she smelled the familiar cold fragrance again, and her mind was completely attracted by the fragrance, unable to concentrate. It's really strange... why does Wei Jie always feel different about the same fragrance.
Wei Jie noticed her distraction, frowned slightly, and reminded: "Ms. Li, you are not paying attention."
"Maybe I really don't have the talent to learn the piano. After all, I am a talented person like my cousin. Just a few."
"Jin Zheng said that you have been in frequent contact with Le'an these days, and today you went to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to visit him, but you were distracted by him?" Wei Jie asked frankly, but there was no hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. , seemed to be just a normal inquiry, without any association with the affection between her and Liang Yan.
Xue Li was worried about not knowing how to speak, but now Wei Jie asked first, her expression immediately changed, and she said sadly: "I know that there is a huge difference between me and my cousin, how can my piano skills make up for it? No matter how good I practice the piano, it doesn't matter. Others will not think highly of me because of this. I only interact with the prince because he is kind-hearted and does not look down on me like others. When I stay in the house, people are always looking at me, and there are always people who find fault in me and criticize me. How can I get involved with my cousin..."
"The servants in the house are like this, let alone others, the gentlemen and ladies of the noble family, who don't laugh at me for not overestimating my abilities and waiting to see me abandoned by my cousin in the future... ...Only the crown prince has never looked down upon me and even found a chance to comfort me. I have a friend in Luoyang who I can talk to..." Xue Li's eyes turned red as he spoke, and his shoulders shook slightly as he sobbed. The butterfly hairpin trembled slightly, as if it was about to flap its wings and fly away at any moment.
Wei Jie frowned slightly and said, "I thought you didn't care what others thought."
After all, it was Xue Li who said in the beginning that he was willing to be a slave and a concubine.
Xue Li stood up suddenly and glared at Wei Jie with a pair of tearful eyes: "Then what does my cousin think of me? Is it any different from them? I have nothing, I just ask my cousin to love me and cherish me... But you will always marry someone else, if you just want If you treat me as a pastime and don't want me in the future, wouldn't I become a joke..."
Wei Jie was still questioning her just now, but now she changed the topic and became the one being criticized.
Marry Xue Li?
He had not thought about it, but although Xue Li was interesting, marrying her now might not be worth it, and it would have to wait and see the current situation in the future.
"I can't marry you for the time being." He thought for a while and replied truthfully.
Xue Li already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't expect him to say it so bluntly, without even using sweet words to cover it up. He was still a little annoyed when he heard it.
"In the final analysis, my cousin just used me as a plaything, and he was somewhat sincere!" After Xue Li finished speaking, she wiped away her tears and rushed out, letting others see her leaving Yuhengju sadly and angrily.
Wei Jie sat there without moving. After a moment of silence, he turned his face thoughtfully and his eyes fell on the tall and lush crabapple tree in the courtyard.
Yao Linghui was worried about Xue Li's marriage. When he saw her coming back from outside, he immediately grabbed her and said displeasedly: "You just came back now, where did you go? Did you go to Yuhengju to find Wei?" Is it done?"
Xue Li, with tears still on his face, asked: "Don't worry, Mom, I will never see him again..."
Yao Linghui heard her low tone, her face darkened, and asked: "Yes Someone said something bad about you?"
Xue Li nodded and said in a low voice: "I thought I was in love with my cousin, but he never took me to heart..." "It
would be good if you knew. I can feel relieved once I have figured it out." Yao Linghui softened her tone and said helplessly: "Second Madam has been unhappy because of your entanglement with Wei Jie recently. Wei Jie is the future head of the family, so we must not You have lost your moral character. When your marriage is decided, let alone becoming a concubine, it will be difficult for you to stay in Luoyang. If you cut off contact with him now, your uncle loves you very much and will definitely find a good marriage for you... Xue
Li's heart moved slightly and he responded in a low voice: "It all depends on Auntie's wishes."
King Junshan sent a letter to Wei Zhi, which made him unable to close his eyes all night after reading it.
He had everything he wanted in the court, he had never made enemies, and his friendship with Zhao Shiduan was not very deep. He thought it was a matter of government affairs, but unexpectedly he was looking for him to gain favor.
Seeing Wei Zhi sitting in front of the desk with a sullen expression late at night, the second lady couldn't help asking, "What on earth is going on that makes you so upset?"
"It's a letter from Zhao Shiduan." When he said this, his face became even more ugly. "He fell in love with Li Niang and wanted to marry her as his stepmother."
The second lady looked horrified. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time. She met Wei Zhi's eyes with gloomy expressions on their faces.
Wei Zhi handed the letter to her: "Read it yourself."
After reading the letter, the second lady was silent for a long time and said dissatisfiedly: "Xue Li is quite capable. He seduced Lan Zhang. Even the King of Junshan has been in love with her for a long time... ...Now that the King of Junshan is taking the initiative to seek help from others, how can we turn against others for her sake?"
Wei Zhi was upset because of this, and sighed: "Ms. Li was kind enough to save people, and what Zhao Shiduan did was not something she could have expected. If it weren't for her and Lan Zhang and Zhang are in love with each other, so it is not a bad thing to be favored by Zhao Shiduan." The
Junshan throne was high and powerful, and his wife had not married another man for many years after he died of illness, so he was always prestigious in the court. Moreover, he is tall and strong, with a handsome face, and has many admirers. If Xue Li marries him, she will become a princess. It can be said that she will rise to the sky in one step, which is better than being hopelessly infatuated with Wei Jie. What's more, judging from the current situation in the court, the Xiahou family is eyeing the Wei family. If he convinces Li Niang to fulfill Zhao Shiduan's wishes, it will be an extra help in the future.
But...if Oriole doesn't want to, he will become the villain who beats the mandarin ducks. Their mother and daughter were helpless and had come all the way to seek refuge. Li Niang risked her life to save his daughter. It was really unkind and unjust for him to separate her from Lan Zhang.
Wei Zhi shook his head and said, "No, I heard Yun'er say that she and Mother Li once went to a banquet at the Prince's Mansion in Junshan. Mother Li was timid and weak, but had a sharp mind. She might not be unaware of Zhao Shiduan's affection for her, but in her heart I have been afraid to express my fear. I can’t force her to do this..."
The second lady said helplessly: "If Lan Zhang knew about this matter, he would not sit idly by and ignore it. Mother Li is our second wife, and we failed to discipline her well. My brother is already unhappy, so we must not involve Lan Zhang in this matter." It's better to arrange a marriage for her first, so as to reject Zhao Shiduan and break her heart."
Wei Zhi thought about it, still feeling that doing so would hurt Li Niang's heart, but he couldn't think of any other way. Offending Zhao Shiduan was already the best thing. inevitable. He had no choice but to nod his head and said: "Don't rush to force her. Look for husbands who are upright in appearance and have a strict family tradition. Don't want those dandies who advocate mystery and drink all day long to talk and do not do anything serious. When you are optimistic about your relationship, discuss it with Huiniang. "Fan."
The second lady has been looking after this person for Prime Minister Xue Li for a long time, but Wei Zhi didn't say anything. She was also worried about making Lan Zhang unhappy because of it, so she never sent it to Yao Linghui. Now it can be put to use.
Early in the morning, the tranquility of Taoqiyuan was broken by Yao Linghui's scolding.
The second lady sent all the carefully selected husband's name cards to Taoqiyuan. The second lady was very attentive in looking at people. Every husband had an extraordinary background and was more than suitable for Xue Li. Yao Linghui happily took it to Xue Li. Look, who knows that she doesn't take these people to heart at all.
Yao Linghui thought she was still thinking about Wei Jie, so she scolded her severely. Xue Li was so angry that she slammed the door and walked out. Yin Deng followed her anxiously.
Xue Li was annoyed and walked very fast. Yin Deng trotted up to catch up and comforted: "If the lady doesn't want to, go and beg the eldest son. He won't watch the lady get married..."
Xue Li After hearing this, she became even more irritated and said in a cold voice: "When you go back, don't follow me."
Yin Deng thought of Xue Li's infatuation with Wei Jie, and now everyone was blocking her from falling in love with Wei Jie, so she couldn't help but feel sorry for her Although she was sad, she still mumbled some words to comfort her.
Xue Li felt that she was noisy, sighed and walked quickly across the path. However, after seeing the figure not far away, her steps couldn't help but paused and slowed down.
As Yin Deng spoke, his eyes turned red first, and he said to himself: "Madam knows that the lady loves the eldest son, how can she force the lady to marry someone else..."
Xue Li, who had been silent for a long time in front of him, suddenly raised his voice, Her tone was sad and angry, her voice trembling: "No need to say any more, I know I'm not worthy, and everyone looks down on me... My cousin doesn't care about my life or death, so why bother to embarrass him again!"
After she finished speaking, she dumped her. Turning on Yin Deng and running towards another place, Yin Deng shouted hurriedly to catch up with her.
After realizing that there was a small lake in the direction Xue Li went, Yin Deng's shouts changed their tone in a hurry. However, before catching up with Xue Li, he saw her rushing to the lake without hesitation and jumping in. With a pop, water splashed everywhere, and Yin Lan was so scared that she almost lost her soul.
"Madam! Someone come quickly!" Yin Deng was so anxious that she burst into tears. Just as she was about to jump down and pick up Xue Li, a figure passed by her, and then there was another loud sound of falling into the water.
Then she heard several people shouting hurriedly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty has fallen into the water!"
When Xue Li fell into the water, a funny thought came to her mind.
It's probably because she has a affinity with water, and whenever she falls into the water, it will always lead to big troubles.
It's just that when she fell into the water in the past, she was more or less afraid. If something went wrong, she would drown.
Only this time, she jumped with a vague expectation in her heart. She knew that Liang Yan would jump down without hesitation just like he did many years ago, hold her hand tightly and lead her back to the shore.
Liang Yan was sitting on the ground, soaked all over, but his fingers clenched tightly on Xue Li's arm and refused to let go, and his expression was particularly scary. His face was still dripping with water, and he didn't raise his hand to wipe it. He just stared at the pale Xue Li, gritted his teeth and said: "You are seeking death for Wei Lanzhang. Can you not live without him?"
Xue Li's eyelashes There were still water drops hanging on his face, and his eyes were moist. Chu Chu blinked pitifully, looking weak and innocent, making him unable to say another harsh word. "You are no different from him...it seems like you have feelings for me, but in your heart you just see me as a plaything."
After she finished speaking, tears kept falling down.
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "When did I treat you as a plaything?"
Xue Li raised his face slightly, looked directly into his eyes, and asked: "My cousin loves me, but he refuses to marry me. The prince loves me, so he is willing to break off the engagement and marry me?"
Liang Yan didn't even hesitate. "Okay."
His chin was still dripping, and he looked very embarrassed, but his eyes were firm and serious, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so he repeated it again. "As long as you are willing, I will break off the engagement tomorrow, and all faults will be borne by me alone."

Chapter 39
"Whether you are beautiful or ugly has nothing to do with others. If anyone bullies you in the future, don't bear it and return it all." The water droplets on the young man's cheeks have not yet been wiped off, but he wiped it for Xue Li first. On the water above, a pair of eyes sparkled like stars in the sky. "Not to mention how beautiful you are. When the red sores on your face heal in the future, you will definitely be a beauty."
That year, Xue Li was thirteen years old, and Yao Linghui was busy fighting for the family business. She had forgotten what her father looked like. The boy from her uncle's family bullied her, trampled her fish lantern to pieces, and pushed her into the water.
Xue Li had fought back before, but she couldn't beat him and no one helped her. After being fished ashore, she was so frightened that she kept trembling. Even though the other person comforted her with a gentle tone, she would only sob and shed tears. In the end, the person left in a hurry without even saying a word of thanks.
Later, when she returned home, she asked all the way and found out that he was the husband from Luoyang. He was from a noble family and he was just passing by Wu County.
She tried to ask again and finally found out that his surname was Liang, and his last name had the character "Yan".
Liang Yan left in a hurry without knowing her name. And Xue Li silently remembered him for many years, and no one except herself knew about him.
There were water stains on the ground, and there was water in Xue Li's eyes. As a result, Liang Yan's figure became much blurred, and gradually overlapped with the boy in her memory, so that she felt unreal, as if the scene in front of her was It's a dream.
Until Yin Deng called her anxiously and angrily in a low voice: "Madam, please don't say stupid things!"
Xue Li coughed and said with tears in her eyes: "My cousin has already broken my heart, please don't tease me, prince."
Liang Yan replied. Very eager. "I will never let you down."
Her eyes were like glass washed away by rain, clear and translucent, reflecting tiny bits of light.
"Ms. Li is willing to believe in the prince, and please prince...don't betray me."
The waiters present did not dare to say a word, and Liang Yan also forgot the original purpose of coming to the Wei Mansion. After appeasing Xue Li, he hurriedly left. Break off the engagement and leave. Some people looked at Xue Li with complicated expressions, with both sympathy and shock in their eyes. Even Yin Deng only thought that she was heartbroken and would say such words impulsively. As soon as Liang Yan left, she supported Xue Li to comfort her.
Xue Li allowed Yin Deng to speak, and he only cried weakly. She knew that within one day, the news about her jumping into the lake to die because of Wei Jie would spread throughout the Wei family. Then, no matter what the reason, her uncle would feel guilty for her and treat her twice as much to compensate. Her marriage Even if she insists on marrying Liang Yan, Wei Zhi will try his best to satisfy her and speak good words to Marquis Pingyuan on her behalf.
Wei Heng had no reason to stop him. Liang Yan had robbed Wei Jie of his wonderful marriage, and he still treated Liang Yan so well. Now that Wei Jie can finally get rid of her entanglement and make Liang Yan happy, it should be exactly what he wants.
It's just that breaking off the engagement between Liang Yan and the Zhou family is not a trivial matter. I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Marquis Pingyuan will not easily agree to his wishes. If Liang Yan calms down and regrets, she will be in an extremely embarrassing situation. However, she was always willing to believe Liang Yan. If he would regret and let her down because of this, it would be a waste of her years of love. It was worth some rolling looks and ridicule in exchange for her seeing the love in her heart.
After Xue Li carefully considered it in her mind, she could even think of how people would talk about her, until the silver lamp next to her suddenly asked: "If the eldest son hears what you said, he will definitely feel uncomfortable." ..."
Only then did she think of another Wei Jie...and her mood became mixed.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't feel good, she and Wei Jie are not the same kind of people. Even if they try hard to please him now, they will hate each other in the future. Wei Jie was extremely talented, and her clothes and manners could cause Luoyang celebrities to imitate her. However, apart from being somewhat beautiful, she was just an ordinary person. She likes Liang Yan who can laugh and take her on an outing to see Liu Ying, not Wei Jie who is worshiped like a god.
Wei Jie was not a fool, so it was hard for him to really believe those words of love and think that she could really live and die for him.
When Xue Li returned to Tao Qiyuan, she was dripping wet. Yao Linghui was about to get angry at her, but his angry curses were blocked in his mouth after seeing her like this.
"What are you doing?"
Yin Deng explained: "My wife just jumped into the lake and committed suicide, and was rescued by the prince of Pingyuan Hou Mansion..."
After the words, Yin Deng hesitated and looked at Xue Li's eyes, I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
Xue Li said calmly: "Auntie, Prince Liang said he is willing to marry me."
Yao Linghui's eyes widened and she said in surprise: "Wei Heng's nephew? What does he have to do with you? Isn't he engaged?" "
He I said, I will break off the engagement tomorrow." When Xue Li said this, there was a hint of excitement in his tone that was not easily noticeable. "Does Auntie say I should agree?"
Yao Linghui didn't believe it at first, but now she gradually calmed down, and looked at Xue Li inquiringly for a while, making sure that she didn't mean to lie, and then asked: "He is seriously not playing tricks. You?"
No matter how many good husbands the second lady saw for Prime Minister Xue Li, nothing could compare to Liang Yan. There are no brothers or sisters competing for the family property, and there are not many relatives to deal with. He has a close relationship with the Wei family. Liang Yan is handsome and handsome. Apart from being criticized for stealing people's favor, no one has ever heard of him. What bad habits are there?
"Of course not." After Xue Li finished answering, he saw Yao Linghui's eyes moving slightly, as if he had a plan in mind.
"Don't worry about this matter. Let's see what Liang Yan plans first. Don't let him be deceived." Yao Linghui said this, indicating that she was extremely satisfied with the marriage, but now Liang Yan has not come to propose marriage. , she did not dare to rashly push the person chosen by the second lady.
After Xue Li finished speaking, Yao Linghui completely forgot about her suicide attempt and jumped into the lake. He only urged her to go back and change her clothes without even saying a few words of comfort.
Yin Deng didn't dare to disturb the two of them when they were talking. It wasn't until Xue Li went back to the room to change clothes that he dared to ask her: "What should I do with the eldest son? Do
you think I care about him anymore?" You can ask him for a favor and send you to serve at Yuhengju."
"Madam, where are you, Yin Deng must not...dare not have such thoughts!" Yin Deng's face turned red and he retorted in an eager tone. .
Xue Li chuckled lightly, glanced at her, and said, "Why are you so anxious? I'm just talking nonsense. My cousin is such an immortal person, and it's not a sin to admire him. How can I blame you for this?"
Yin Deng . He hesitated and couldn't speak. He looked at Xue Li and quickly lowered his head, as if he was afraid of being noticed by her.
Xue Li retracted his eyes and ignored him.
Who has not admired a few people before, let alone someone like Wei Jie, who is not exactly someone who should be admired and followed. He was good in every way, and even she couldn't help but be shaken by his appearance alone. It was only natural for people to be a little tempted after Yin Deng had been with her for a long time. Just don't let your admiration for Wei Jie exceed your loyalty to her.
Within half a day, word spread about what happened early in the morning, and Wei Yun arrived earlier than Xue Li expected. She came to Xue Li Xingshi with a sullen face to question her, but Xue Li had applied a layer of fine powder before that, making her face look even paler and haggard, and her eyes were red and swollen, so that when Wei Yun saw her, he suddenly thought of what he had planned before. He completely forgot about it and stared at her for a long time before saying: "Do you want to marry Liang Yan?"
Xue Li looked sad and said in a low voice: "Since I can't stay with my cousin, who can I marry ? What's the difference? At least you are willing to treat me sincerely, so you don't have to make things difficult for others, which is a good thing for everyone."
She raised her eyes and looked at Wei Yun and asked: "I will never tangle with my cousin again, sister. Shouldn't you be happy?"
"I..." Wei Yun found himself speechless by her. After being depressed for a while, he said: "There are so many people, but you chose Liang Yan. Isn't that intentional? I want to embarrass my cousin and make everyone think that Liang Yan has stolen my cousin’s things again..."
At this point, she felt that she had made a mistake. Looking at Xue Li's expression again, her face turned even sadder, as if she was about to cry after saying a few words.
"I'm just an object. My cousin never cared about me. Now that he doesn't want me, I still have to worry about embarrassing him..."
Wei Yun couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He was about to add a few words, but Xue Li held his forehead, shook his head and said, "Sister, don't say anything. I'm not feeling well today and want to rest early. Please go back."
Wei Yun didn't want to appear aggressive and forced Xue Li to take Wei Jie's face into consideration. It was indeed too much of a lie. Before he could even say a few words, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and leave Tao Qiyuan.
Xue Li used the excuse of feeling unwell after falling into the water to stay away from people, but mainly wanted to avoid Wei Jie. She thought about everyone, but she didn't think about how to face Wei Jie. Surprisingly, Yu Hengju did not send anyone to look for her, nor even a letter.
After nightfall, Xue Li tossed and turned on the couch, not knowing whether it was joy or uneasiness, still unable to sleep peacefully. He always felt out of breath.
It's the time of July when the fire is flowing. The night is no longer sultry. The sky is nice today. When you look up, you should be able to see the stars in the sky.
She got up and put on some clothes, wanting to take a walk in the yard to relieve the inexplicable anxiety in her heart. At this time, everyone in Taoqiyuan was asleep, and all they could hear was the chirping of insects, as if someone was pulling the strings hard.
Xue Li opened the door impatiently, and a tall and dark figure stood motionless in front of her, as if someone had placed a stone statue in front of her door.
Xue Li was so frightened that her breath was stagnated, and her screams were stuck in her throat. She subconsciously turned around and called for someone, but was suddenly stopped by the black figure and hugged her, and his broad and cold palms covered her lips.
Then she smelled a faint cold fragrance, and her struggling movements gradually stopped. Her panic seemed to have calmed down, except that her heart was still beating wildly.
Wei Jie's palm slowly moved down, caressing her chin, and then gently covering her neck. At this moment, his always gentle tone made Xue Li feel an inexplicable chill down his spine.
"Did I scare you?"
After the lingering fear, Xue Li gradually felt guilty.
"Why does my cousin come here late at night?"
Wei Jie rarely does anything uninvited, let alone coming to Taoqiyuan late at night. It is really unethical and completely different from his behavior.
His arms slowly tightened and he hugged Xue Li from behind, as if he wanted to take her into his arms. But the other hand still fell on her neck, as gently as a caress, but Xue Li didn't feel any lingering thoughts when she was touched.
"I heard something," he paused, and then said, "You can't always trust word of mouth, but I thought it would be better to come and ask you." "
It's already dark, why doesn't my cousin come during the day?"
"Because I want to believe you." Wei Jie smiled, his tone slightly helpless.
"But I thought about it over and over again at night, and I felt like I couldn't believe it."

Chapter 40
Wei Jie could feel Xue Li's pulse on his fingertips, and there was warm blood flowing under this shallow layer of skin.
He knew a long time ago that he was a little different from ordinary people. He was burdened with the future and glory of the Wei family and could not make any mistakes. Fortunately, he learned everything very quickly, and he was still the flawless Wei Lanzhang, with no flaws to be found.
Since Xue Li loved him, no matter what he looked like, she should love him wholeheartedly, as she said, from birth to death.
Xue Li came to disturb his music and break the rules he abided by, claiming to come to please him and teach him about love. Now he has become interested, but she wants to get away alone.
"You were just angry for a moment and said some nonsense. Now you regret it, right?" Since he decided to like Xue Li, he should be tolerant and not hurt her due to misunderstanding.
With a smile on his face, he said gently: "Le'an has such a temperament, I won't blame you."
"Ms. Li was not sensible before."
Xue Li answered quickly, and after the words fell, Wei Jie's smile also Gradually disappearing in the darkness.
She didn't take into account any changes in the mood of the people behind her, and still said what she expected: "My cousin and I are worlds apart. Staying with someone like me will only attract ridicule, not to mention... Cousin..." Brother treats me somewhat sincerely. He seems to love me, but he just treats me as an interesting object and dismisses me casually. What does it matter to me? Without me, you will still be the superior young master of the Wei family. In the future, I will marry a dignified and virtuous daughter from a famous family. If so, why bother with me anymore? It’s better to break up early to avoid making me sad in the future..."
Xue Li said these words with tears in her eyes, without mentioning that she was going to marry. In the matter with Liang Yan, it seemed that she was the one who was let down and wronged, and easily gained the upper hand, while Wei Jie was the heartless and indifferent person, but her words were all for his sake.
Xue Li's almost resentful words made Wei Jie stunned for a moment. But he soon thought of what kind of person Xue Li was. Her tears were always mixed with a bit of hypocrisy.
She wanted to take it out innocently. Even if someone mentioned it, they would only say that she was a poor person who was infatuated and let down. She did nothing wrong, but the person she admired was Wei Jie.
Wei Jie laughed very softly, a mocking smile flashed past, as light as Xue Li's illusion.
"What if I am willing to marry you?"
Xue Li suddenly froze, her fingers gradually tightened, and then her tone became annoyed. "Why are you teasing me, cousin?"
She finally realized that Wei Jie might be a little angry, her tone softened, and she said with a hint of persuasion: "My cousin is such a rare man in the world. Mother Li doesn't dare to have such wishful thinking. In this world, No matter how good a female cousin is, she deserves it, so why waste your energy on me."
Wei Jie suddenly understood.
Xue Li said so much just because he said "it's not worth it".
After careful consideration, he was willing to bear some undue trouble for Xue Li. He believed that Xue Li should be worthy of him.
It's just that he almost forgot that Xue Li's mouth was full of sweet words. She was like those gorgeous oleanders, with poisonous juice flowing under her beautiful skin. Love was just a stepping stone for her to climb up. When she realized that she couldn't get any benefits from him, she chose Liang Yan instead.
She is nothing but a hateful woman with hypocritical power.
She was ambitious and full of calculations, and she spoke few truths. However, he saw through it all and still wanted to get her and make her his own.
Wei Jie slowly let go of Xue Li's arm, and he gradually stepped back, saying nothing to Xue Li's answer.
Xue Li felt that the power that restrained her had disappeared, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wei Jie was sensible and didn't force her to say hurtful words. After all, she had always been admired by many stars since she was a child. Now that she had suffered a loss in love, it was not too strange to come to her impulsively. In addition, he is Wei Jie after all, so it is better not to cause too much embarrassment for a woman and not even consider the etiquette. No matter how reluctant he is, he must endure it and not do anything to her.
This is why Xue Li feels confident. Even if Wei Jie knows that she is just using him as a stepping stone, what can he do?
"It's getting late, cousin, it's better to go back early." She reminded a little impatiently.
Wei Jie nodded slowly and turned to leave, but stumbled because of the uneven stone road.
Everything around him was pitch black, and he hated the unknown that he couldn't control.
A pair of slender, warm hands held his palm. "Cousin, be careful."
Xue Li supported him and walked forward slowly, saying with regret and concern: "I have never told others about the bird's eye, and I will never tell anyone about it in the future. I really admire my cousin. Even if you and I can't stay together in the future, I will always remember how good my cousin is. I don't know which woman in the world is so lucky that she can be my cousin's wife in the future..."
Liar.
Wei Jie listened indifferently. He could almost imagine Xue Li's impatience when she said these words, or secretly sneered in his heart. The eldest son of the Wei family would also fall under her skirt because of her clumsy and ridiculous tricks. , let her play with it and then throw it away without mercy. The same is true for Liang Yan. How can a person like her be sincere to anyone?
But why is it Liang Yan? If she is willing, Wei Jin's background is also not low, and she can easily seduce him. Wei Jin is young and even easier to handle than Liang Yan.
At this moment, Wei Jie suddenly remembered that when he and Xue Li first met, the person standing next to her was Liang Yan.
Xue Li didn't notice anything strange about Wei Jie. When she saw Jin Zhen walking forward, she even touched Wei Jie's palm tenderly and said comfortingly: "Cousin, please go back. Don't think too much."
After seeing Wei Jie off, Xue Li felt relieved. His steps were much lighter when he returned to his room, and he really slept soundly in the second half of the night.
Liang Yan knew that his father would not easily agree to break off the engagement. After all, as far as the Zhou family was concerned, Liang Yan was not Zhou Suyin's only candidate. But this marriage has many benefits for Pingyuan Hou Mansion.
Zhou Suyin is more similar to Wei Jie. She is willing to give everything she has for the future of the Zhou family. She doesn't care about Liang Yan. She would rather drink and enjoy flowers with the girls from Luoyang than get along with her future husband.
Liang Yan went to the Zhou family without permission to break off the engagement. Zhou Suyin was the first person to know. She was just a little surprised and asked him: "Does Marquis Pingyuan know about this?"
"I don't know."
She glanced at him helplessly, like He was looking at an ignorant child who got into trouble. He nodded and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the Zhou family. It was your fault first. If you can break off the engagement, remember not to stain my reputation."
"I don't look down on Zhou . Family is just a matter of necessity. Now that you have someone you love, you can't let her down and let you down." Liang Yan bowed to her respectfully.
Zhou Suyin covered her lips and smiled softly, and said: "I don't know any woman who can dare you to come and break off the engagement. This is a marriage to our Zhou family. Don't regret it in the future."
Liang Yan didn't know what he thought of, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. , replied: "She told me that I just want to be clear in my heart. I don't have to worry about success or failure. That's all in the future." Breaking off the engagement is not a trivial matter. The
elder of the Zhou family did not immediately agree, even though he swore that he would be responsible for everything. Next, he was still reprimanded dissatisfied by Zhou's people, and then they ordered people to invite Marquis Pingyuan.
Marquis Pingyuan was in the army. He suddenly heard about this. He was furious and took Liang Yan back to the Marquis Mansion to be beaten. His skin and flesh were torn apart after several whips. Liang Yan still refused to change his words. He fainted when he was forced to kneel down. When he woke up again Lai was locked in the room and learned from the servants that Marquis Pingyuan had gone to the Zhou family to apologize.
Marquis Pingyuan was often away from the house, and Liang Yan was taken care of by his servants until he was brought up. Now seeing that he was beaten and bruised all over, they all urged him to apologize to Marquis Pingyuan.
"I smashed the window and went out, how about you just pretend you've never seen it?" Liang Yan begged in a soft tone. "There is absolutely no room for maneuver in this matter. When father comes back, he will definitely punish me, so you can let me go once and let me go to my uncle's place to hide for a few days."
He worked hard for a long time, until he met Pingyuan at night. Hou argued again and was beaten until his face was covered with bruises. Finally, a servant relented and allowed him to sneak out at night.
Xue Li didn't leave Taoqiyuan for several days, pretending to be sick. However, when she couldn't get any news from Liang Yan, she felt so uneasy that she paced back and forth in the yard with worry.
But since that day, Wei Jie never came to see her again. It was a good thing to get rid of him so easily.
