Chapter 41

If Liang Yanruo really broke off the engagement with the Zhou family, Xue Li would know about such a major event even without leaving the courtyard. What's more, Yao Linghui is more anxious than she is every day, always asking if there is any news about the annulment of the marriage in Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion. However, the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion is quiet and does not cause any splash. Because of this, people were full of ridicule and lamentation towards Xue Li.

Yao Linghui was anxious, Xue Li looked calm, but in fact he was not much better than her. She is willing to believe in Liang Yan's character, but breaking off the engagement is not a trivial matter. If a prominent family like the Zhou family can marry Zhou Suyin, it will definitely help the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. How many men are willing to give up their great future for love, not to mention that even if Liang Yan is willing, Pingyuan Hou will definitely not be willing.

Xue Li pretended to be ill for two days, and Wei Zhi ordered people to send a lot of tonics. After all, the second lady was optimistic about the candidate and sent him to Taoqiyuan. On the same day, Xue Li jumped into the lake and committed suicide. It looked like he was seeking death because of their persecution. Yao Linghui was far better than Xue Li in pretending to be pitiful. She wiped her tears and cried twice in front of Wei Zhi, which made him feel more guilty. She never mentioned Xue Li's marriage and allowed her to do whatever she wanted. If Xue Li is really willing to marry Liang Yan, he will buy her more dowry.

From the bottom of her heart, Mrs. Wei treated Xue Li with the utmost benevolence. She occasionally felt a little guilty because of her calculations against her benefactor, but those apologies were insignificant compared to her desires. People will be punished if they don't do it for themselves. She How could it be wrong to look after oneself? If Liang Yan really regretted it, she wouldn't blame him. She was wrong for loving the wrong person. At least liking Liang Yan would do no harm to her. But if she couldn't marry him, she would spend the rest of her life in regret...

In just a few days, Xue Li had countless thoughts in her mind. She had even thought about how to take care of herself after being let down by Liang Yan. absolve. Unexpectedly, Liang Yan came to see her at night.

One day after Wei Heng returned home, he found out that Liang Yan wanted to break off the engagement and marry Xue Li. He had always loved and cared for Liang Yan and looked after her like his own son. As soon as the matter came out, he immediately sent someone to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to inquire about it. . It was also because of this that Liang Yan entered the Wei Mansion, and Wei Heng's people immediately stopped him.

Wei Jie behaved well and had a calm temperament. Wei Heng thought that there was no need to interfere. With Wei Jie's temperament, he already knew how to choose. But Liang Yan was different. Marquis Pingyuan neglected to discipline him, so that he always did things according to his own intention, and it was common for him to go his own way. The engagement with the Zhou family was of great benefit to him. Even if Xue Li seduced Wei Jie, why should he also be confused?

"Whether you are angry with Lan Zhang or you are really confused by that woman, these are just impulses. If you regret the marriage because of this, you will definitely regret it in the future." Although Wei Heng's expression was serious, his words were not sharp. Qi Pingyuanhou's frequent beatings and scoldings are more like the helpless and admonishing teachings of his elders.

Even if he was annoyed, after seeing the scars on Liang Yan's face, it was difficult to say anything wrong with him.

After all, it is a youthful spirit... He is still young and does not have the love and protection of his mother. Thinking of this, Wei Heng sighed deeply and said: "Your father has a hot temper, but he also thinks about you. It is inappropriate to break off the engagement. What's more, Xue Li came all the way from Wu County, and you can only get along with her for a few days. How do you really understand her character? If she can confuse Lan Zhang and make you lose your mind, I think she may not be a kind person."

Liang Yan was beaten really hard this time, but fortunately he had a tough temper and lay down for two days. I can move around normally, but my face looks a little scary. There was a large scarlet blood mass in the whites of his eyes, his cheeks were slightly swollen, and there were bruises on the corners of his mouth and forehead.

Hearing Wei Heng's words, the corner of his mouth moved, but he could not immediately utter a rebuttal. After a moment of silence, he stubbornly said: "It is I who fall in love with her, and I am willing to marry her. It doesn't matter what her character is like to others." I can easily judge, I think she is very good, and I feel happy when I am with her. My uncle doesn't want Lan Zhang to be involved with her, so why not let us be together. The fault of regret is mine alone, even if I regret it in the future , and I will never say anything wrong to others."

Liang Yan's tone was clear, his eyes were firm, and there was no hesitation or timidity at all.

Wei Heng's figure in front of him was upright, like a solemn green pine. Although Wei Heng is middle-aged, one can still see that his face is pure and elegant, his words and deeds are upright and upright as a Confucian scholar, but his eyes are always sharp and serious. Wei Jie was very similar to him, but had an extra calmness that was almost indifferent.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Yes."

Wei Heng stared at Liang Yan for a while, feeling a little emotional in his heart. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He turned his back and waved. It was considered acquiescence.

Liang Yan immediately turned around and left. The waiter wanted to take him to his room to rest, but he walked towards the west side of Wei Mansion without looking back.

The oleander in Taoqiyuan is in full bloom, and the pink flowers are even more dazzling under the cover of green branches and leaves. A large piece grew out of the courtyard wall, and the branches trembled when the night wind blew.

Liang Yan stopped when he reached the outside of Taoqi Courtyard, raised his head to look at the shadow of the tree, and thought of Xue Li enjoying the shade under the tree, a joy that even he felt was weird filled his heart. Wei Heng's permission seemed to give him encouragement, making him feel that his decision was not wrong and he would never regret it in the future.

The night was already dark, and Xue Li must have gone to bed long ago. He didn't mean to disturb her, he just wanted to come here for some reason. Even if he looked at the flowers on the branches through a courtyard wall, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

The waiter beside Liang Yan said helplessly: "The night is getting dark. Lang Jun should go back and rest soon."

"I know." As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard door opened with a creak.

Xue Li's figure was revealed under the cold white moonlight, and she said in surprise: "Prince?"

Liang Yan was also stunned, wondering: "Why haven't you gone to bed yet?"

"I..." Xue Li paused for a moment and whispered. He said: "There is no news about the Crown Prince. I can't sleep peacefully. I wanted to take a walk in the courtyard, but I didn't expect to hear the Crown Prince's voice... I didn't want to think it was really you."

Seeing that she had no intention of going back on her word, Liang Yan said happily: " I have gone to the Zhou family to propose breaking off the engagement, and it will be settled in a few days. If your mind remains unchanged, I will not let you down."

Xue Li tilted his head shyly and responded softly: "Your Majesty, I have a sincere heart. , how can I be scornful?"

He couldn't help but chuckle, and walked towards Xue Li, their shadows gradually overlapped under the moonlight.

The waiter retreated voluntarily, Liang Yan pursed his lips, and said with some embarrassment: "I was afraid that you would regret it, but okay..."

Xue Li's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said slowly: "I made it clear to the eldest son a few days ago. , I am willing to treat the crown prince wholeheartedly from now on." When

Liang Yan heard her words, he couldn't help but feel his heart move slightly, his palms were heating up, as if something was about to jump out of his heart.

"Mother Li..."

Xue Li raised his head and looked at him with eyes full of eyes: "Your Majesty, it's okay to say so."

Liang Yan whispered something in her ear. , and apologized to her again. Unexpectedly, she was not angry, but nodded slightly.

Liang Yan's kiss was light and restrained. He only briefly touched Xue Li's lips and left quickly. Then he didn't even dare to look at her, but his breath was hot at the moment he kissed her. Her fingers were clenching her sleeves tightly, and her heartbeat was getting louder and louder. She had never felt like this at any moment before. She was extremely nervous, but at the same time she was overjoyed.

"You have to wait for me to marry you."

"Okay."

Yuhengju has a piano room with more than a dozen pianos. Not all of them are made by famous teachers, but they have more or less accompanied Wei Jie for a while. Time is of great significance to him.

Occasionally when he was undecided, he would sit here quietly or play the piano himself, which seemed to relieve his impetuous mind.

The news at Taoqiyuan was reported to Jin Qing by the guards, who then relayed it to Wei Jie who was playing the piano in the piano room.

Jin Qing told him that Liang Yan went to Taoqiyuan at night, and the two behaved intimately and kissed each other.

The qin in Wei Jie's hand was made of wood that he had picked out earlier, and he cut the qin himself and wanted to give it to Xue Li. The lacquer body is as hard as jade, the sound is vigorous and round, strong and clear, making it a fine piano of the highest quality.

However, Xue Li didn't like the piano, let alone understand it. She just pretended to like it. Just as he thought Xue Li loved him and was willing to accept everything from him, in fact, he was just trying to flatter him. But he couldn't forget her laughter. Her sweet and delicate words were like the thunder that disturbed his music, roaring and tearing apart his peaceful world, and then wanted to disappear completely. net.

Xue Li tempted him to go out of his way, but then calmly watched him lose control.

After Jin Qing finished speaking, Wei Jie gently stroked the strings with his fingers, making some untuned sounds.

Until Jin Qing left, Wei Jie closed his eyes, and the scene when he kissed Xue Li appeared in front of his eyes. The tip of her warm tongue was like a smooth fish, and sometimes she would hum some interesting sounds from her throat.

Now that Liang Yan has done the same, they will also be at odds with each other, and Xue Li will tell Liang Yan the lies she told him.

Wei Jie sat stiffly, as if there was a strong fishy smell permeating his body, almost boiling, and he felt an indescribable nausea that made him almost gag.

A moment later, a roar sounded in the quiet piano room, like the clash of swords, and distorted like the cry of wild beasts. After the sound subsided, Jin Qing was summoned into the piano room again.

Jin Qing saw dots of blood on the ground. Wei Jie was standing barefoot. On the ground was a piano with all its strings broken. Scarlet blood condensed on his fingertips, falling drop by drop.

Wei Jie's face was calm, and his gentle tone made people shudder for no reason at this moment.

"Go to Wu County and check Xue Li's past interactions with people. No matter how big or small, we must collect them in detail."

After Jin Qing agreed, he looked at Wei Jie's palm worriedly and said: "My lord's hand..."

He chuckled: "No problem."

Marquis Pingyuan sat in front of Madam Hou's tomb for a day and a night. Finally, he agreed that as long as Liang Yan was willing to step down from his post as Sangongcao, he would stay with him in Shangjun and stay away from home. In a place like Luoyang, he agreed to the marriage between Liang Yan and Xue Li.

Liang Yan was taught a lot during his time at Sangongcao. He was still young, so it was not difficult for him to go to Shangjun to practice for a few years and then return to Luoyang with Xue Li. If he wanted to marry Xue Li as soon as possible, he could only agree.

Then the Zhou family broke off the marriage on the grounds of Liang Yan's misconduct, and the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion silently agreed. Soon, the incident between Liang Yan and Xue Li spread, and related to Wei Jie, causing quite a stir in Luoyang.

Wei Yun was very angry about this and refused to meet Xue Li. He wrote a few poems that satirized her and sent them to her, but stopped him on the way. Finally, he carefully ordered people to explore Yuhengju's activities, but they found nothing. Less than.

Wei Jie is still reflecting on himself in Yuhengju, and the disturbances from the outside world seem to have nothing to do with him.

No more cakes were sent to Yuhengju, and Xue Li from the academy looked haggard, and her eyes had been red and swollen for several days, so that everyone felt that she was a pitiful person, and those sarcastic words were swallowed silently.

Liang Yan came to the Wei Mansion more and more frequently, and Xue Li would be taken to the countryside to see the scenery, or she would stand on the stage and watch him play polo with other men, and then wave to her from a distance and gallop towards her on horseback.

As for Wei Jie, except for necessary court meetings and government affairs that required him to go out, he stayed at Yuhengju at other times.

The Wei Mansion is so big, and the first bedroom and the second bedroom are far apart. If it wasn't intentional, they would hardly be able to meet each other.

When Xue Li met him again, it was Liang Yan who took her to choose the style of wedding clothes. She walked briskly back home holding the silver lantern, and met Wei Jie head-on.

Then, before she could react, the silver lamp next to her took a breath.

Xue Li stopped and called with a smile: "How are you doing, eldest son, these days?"

Wei Jie nodded briefly: "Not bad."

The two exchanged pleasantries, as if everything in the past was gone.

Chapter 42

Liang Yan is not a man who can stand his temper, so soon after he broke off his engagement with the Zhou family, rumors about him and Xue Li spread throughout the city. Wei Jie was inevitably mentioned several times, but there were not many people in the first place. Taking the matter between him and Xue Li seriously, fewer and fewer people gradually mentioned him.

It seems that he himself is indifferent, never asking anything, and letting others discuss it.

After all, Liang Yan and he had known each other since childhood, and when they were discussing marriage with Xue Li, they went to apologize to him. Wei Jie didn't say it was okay or bad, he just said yes calmly, and then ignored him.

Although Liang Yan liked Xue Li, his decision to go to apologize to Wei Jie was also mixed with some selfish motives. All the good things in the world have gone to Wei Jie alone, but he always looks aloof and arrogant. Liang Yan saw with his own eyes how Wei Jie treated Xue Li differently. Now that his sweetheart marries another person, no one can remain indifferent, and Wei Jie is not immune to this.

Although it can't be said that he wanted to feel proud, he did feel a bit proud. He had never harmed Wei Jie, nor did he want to go against him. He just wanted to suppress him occasionally and let others see that he was not just Wei Jie's vassal.

Wu County is far away from Luoyang, so someone from the Xue family should be in charge of Xue Li's marriage. However, Yao Linghui's face was filled with disgust when she mentioned the Xue family, so the second lady left the matter to someone else. King Junshan was quelling the rebellion, and when he learned about this in the midst of his busy schedule, Liang Yan finally called him uncle. He couldn't be distracted, so he had to endure it for the time being and asked someone to prepare a congratulatory gift.

When Xue Li and Liang Yan got married, they began to prepare for going to Shangjun. It was unknown when they would return to Luoyang in the future. Before making the decision, Xue Li did not expect that Wei Yun was the most angry person. Since her engagement to Liang Yan, Wei Yun has cut off contact with her. Even if they cannot avoid getting along with each other, she will never look at her, never talk to her, and will only treat her with the most indifferent attitude.

Xue Li was indeed a bit unexpected. She and Wei Yun had been together for several days. Although they could not do without using them, they were not without the slightest sincerity. No matter how much I admire Wei Jie, I wouldn't hate her so much.

Other than that, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. After autumn, Xue Li's life became happier and happier. He felt as if he was walking lightly on the clouds, and everything went smoothly as if it were a dream.

But something went wrong not long after. A noble family named Shen from Wu County was affected by the rebellion and came to Luoyang to find a way out. When they learned that Liang Yan and Xue Li were getting married, they immediately approached the Wei Mansion.

Xue Li rarely talks about Wu Jun's past to others. The Xue clan is really disgusting. She will inevitably be questioned after mentioning it. Unless necessary to win the pity of others, she is not willing to use her painful story as amusement for others. .

The Shen family was one of her pain points. She had always been bullied in the past because her uncle had arranged for her to marry Shen Ji, the legitimate son of the Shen family. The Shen family was the local county magistrate, and the county magistrate of Wu County was Shen Ji's father. However, his old son only had a son, Shen Ji, when he was over forty, so he naturally regarded him as a treasure and raised him up.

Shen Ji has a bad temper and has done all sorts of evil things. He has bullied the villagers since he was a child and is hated by everyone. The higher-ranking nobles were unwilling to marry the girl to him, and he looked down upon the lower-ranked ones. Xue Li was still young and was inexplicably pushed to Shen Ji.

She happened to have ugly red sores on her face at that time. When Shen Ji saw her for the first time, he became furious and humiliated her. He also scolded Mr. Xue with filthy words. The uncle was disgraced and had resentment in his heart, which ultimately caused Xue Li to suffer.

She can still clearly remember how Shen Ji humiliated her, making her stand in public and being scolded speechless. She was as embarrassed as if she had been slapped, and was so wronged that she couldn't say a word.

Xue Li thought that the marriage was over early, but she didn't know that she became more beautiful as she grew older, and Shen Ji accepted the marriage again. She didn't want to waste time in Wu County, so she came to Luoyang early so that she could die, but this man shamelessly followed her.

Wei Zhi did not take the little Mr. Shen seriously. He let the person into the house and treated him with courtesy, and said to him that he should take out the token exchanged at that time. Shen Ji's elders were quite polite, but he thought that if people from the Wei family treated him politely, he would be on par with the Wei family, and his words and deeds showed no respect. Looking around without saying anything, he also interrupted the steward of the mansion and asked impatiently: "Where is Xue Li? Why haven't you come out to greet me?"

The steward glanced at him and said calmly: "Ms. Xue and Prince Liang went to Xiangshan. I'm just playing, I'm not in the house at the moment."

"How dare she..." Shen Ji was slapped by his father in the middle of his words, and then he stopped the insults he blurted out subconsciously.

Wei Zhi didn't even bother to come forward to deal with it, and only asked his staff to accompany Yao Linghui to deal with the Shen family. The Shen family had close contacts with the King of Huaiyin, but now that the King of Huaiyin had rebelled, they were implicated. They entered Luoyang to avoid trouble and to clear their culpability. I happened to know the news about Xue Li's engagement. Instead of going to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to ask for an explanation, I came to find the Wei family. I knew that the Wei family was a wealthy family today and valued face very much. If their attitude was a little softer, Wei Zhi would definitely feel guilty in his heart and then help the Shen family.

However, Shen Ji was arrogant and arrogant, and the Shen family also underestimated Wei's methods.

Over the past century, the imperial power has changed, and the Wei family has always been on the throne, never relying on kindness and the so-called integrity. Shen Ji's father, who was gray-haired, still wanted to express his gratitude to a junior respectfully. However, Shen Ji was arrogant and still shouted that he wanted Xue Li to apologize to him before leaving. The staff member smiled and said: "When Mrs. Xue comes back, she will definitely go to see Mr. Shen in person."

Within three days, Shen Ji went around kneeling with his relatives and begging for help to rescue his father from prison.

The benefits given by Wei Zhi were indeed promised. However, the Shen family has been rampant in Wu County for many years, and now the King of Huaiyin has rebelled. As long as you want to find out the faults of the Shen family, the Shen family will naturally be full of flaws. Even if they were not at fault, now that they had offended the Wei family and Pingyuan Marquis, it would become a mistake.

Liang Yan did not take the little Shen Ji seriously, so after the Shen family was imprisoned, he handled the case as Sangong Cao, who was in charge of the prison. Shen Ji asked for help and also went to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.

It happened that Liang Yan was angry because Shen Ji had spoken rudely to Xue Li in a wine shop in Luoyang, and was about to catch him and teach him a lesson when he saw him coming to his door. Although Liang Yan had been in the army for a long time and was not a frail son, he beat Shen Ji until he kept wailing.

In the end, Shen Ji had no choice but to think of Xue Li, whom he despised and repeatedly humiliated.

The people in the Wei Mansion still respectfully let Shen Ji into the house, but this time he looked gloomy, with a cautious and cautious look on his face.

Xue Li was making tea in the waterside pavilion and was not surprised at all when she saw that Shen Ji had changed from his usual arrogance and came to beg her like a bereaved dog. It was only after she came to Luoyang that she understood what it means that there is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world. Compared with a wealthy family like the Wei family, the Shen family is nothing. Even if the Pingyuan Marquis smashed Shen Ji's face, he would only dare to speak to the outside world. Said it was an injury caused by a fall.

There were several ladies from the mansion beside Xue Li. She didn't want to be laughed at, so she went out to meet Shen Ji.

Wearing a lotus white pleated coat, a lilac purple skirt, and a low bun, she is even more graceful and elegant. Xue Lilian walked towards him at a leisurely pace, with a timid look on her face, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes twinkling, as if she was afraid of him.

Seeing that she was getting more and more beautiful, Shen Ji was stunned for a moment and stared at her.

Xue Li stopped when he was two steps away from him, lowered his eyes and showed a pitiful expression, but his tone was extremely cold: "If you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, I will ask Yan Lang to let your father go. "

Shen Ji's eyes widened in disbelief, and he became furious after reacting. However, seeing that Xue Li still looked gentle, he thought she was angry. If he really kowtowed, he might be able to save the lives of his father and several uncles. He gritted his teeth and said, "There are a lot of people here. I'll make amends to you if you find another place."

Xue Li blinked and stared at him innocently.

This is what it means to refuse.

Shen Ji was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly, his chest heaved violently, as if someone had slapped him hard, and his face was getting hot. The next moment, he had to lift up his robe as if to knock, and then he knelt down. As if he was frightened, he took two steps back.

He was so angry that he couldn't think of what Xue Li was thinking, so he had no choice but to kowtow. However, after kowtowing, before he could stand up, a pair of delicate arms came to help him.

When Shen Ji smelled the woman's fragrance, his heart softened and he said, "I won't blame you for this..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the woman's sneer. She let go of her hand, and the cold sleeve corners slid across the back of his hand. , like a snake snaking by.

She lowered her eyes, her expression still pitiful, but her delicate voice seemed to be quenched with poison.

"Idiot, I lied to you."

Xue Li's voice was very soft, and to outsiders it seemed like she was trying to comfort Shen Ji with kind words.

"Don't bother to plead for Chang Shi. If you really miss him, why not wait underground first? Maybe father and son can be reunited as soon as possible..."

Her words were like adding fuel to the fire, looking at the woman who had been humiliated by him in the past. , now stepping on his head and ridiculing him, the humiliation and resentment brought by Liang Yan and even the Wei family cannot be compared. Shen Ji almost immediately became overwhelmed with anger and raised his hand to teach Xue Li a lesson just like he did to his concubine.

Xue Li screamed and fell back. Before Shen Ji could kick him, three or two people immediately stepped forward to hold him down. Then the maids came to help Xue Li. With tears in her eyes, she said with a trembling voice: "Go over there. I have apologized to Mr. Shen for the misunderstanding, but I really can't help you with your matter, so why do you have to push me so hard and even try to bully me? This is not what a gentleman would do!"

Shen Ji was stunned for a moment, and then yelled: "You bitch Man! Whore! How dare you confuse right and wrong and play tricks on me!"

Xue Li was so frightened that he shrank into Yin Deng's arms. Immediately, a waiter couldn't see and hit Shen Ji in the mouth until he couldn't speak, and then tied him up. He threw him out of the house.

After this incident, Shen Ji's crime became the girl who murdered the Wei family. Rumors even spread that he was the fiancée who assassinated Liang Yan. So much so that he begged everywhere, but no one dared to pay attention to him, and even made trouble in order to please the Wei family and the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. Shen Ji was so depressed that he could only hang out in low-class wine shops, sitting with the common people he disdained most, and drunkenly cursing his enemies.

After a few days, he completely disappeared from Luoyang. War broke out everywhere, and the people became more and more miserable. In many places, uprisings led by poor families appeared. At first, there were only a hundred people, but over time, they gradually became climate. Marquis Pingyuan felt uneasy and kept urging Liang Yan to resign and go to Jizhou, so their marriage was postponed again.

Zhao Ji was worried about the people sent by the Xiahou family, and the Wei family was equally worried, so he ordered Wei Jie to go to the palace to discuss candidates to quell the rebellion.

When he returned home, he heard the clear laughter of a woman in the carriage. He opened the curtain and saw Liang Yan raising his arms to lift Xue Li off the horse. Before she landed, she was held around and spun around, exclaiming and hugging Liang Yan's neck tightly.

She smiled and scolded Liang Yan, smiling and smiling, with joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

After seeing how Xue Li treated Liang Yan and thinking about all the things in the past, Wei Jie had to believe that Xue Li had never treated him with any sincerity.

He still vividly remembers what Jin Qing said on the day he returned home.

Xue Li's old things were piled up in Xue's utility room without being disposed of. There were several boxes of old books and countless waste papers. It took them five days to sort it out, and they found Liang Yan's collection of poems, as well as some little-known poems and poems. What's more, there were also essays written by other nobles. Anything that mentioned Liang Yan was covered by her. Collected carefully. This is just a few parts that she has forgotten. Xue Li burned many manuscripts before leaving Wu Jun, and it must be related to Liang Yan.

Jin Qing brought back a poem copied by Xue Li from Wujun. The handwriting was exactly the same as that of Liang Yan.

Thinking about it this way, everything seems to make sense. Why did she behave according to the rules when they first met, but then she provoked him for no reason, and then her temperament changed drastically, and she suddenly wanted to sever ties with him. Just because what she had in mind from the beginning was Liang Yan, but because she couldn't get close to Liang Yan, she had to find another way...

Xue Li was not ruthless, she already had someone in her heart. Those unkindness and flattery were all just methods used on Wei Jie. For Liang Yan, she could indeed be said to be deeply in love.

Being consistent is false, being alone is even more false.

Xue Li was no different from that bird. He broke his own rules for her and made her an exception. He had decided to accept these affections and try to please her. He even had dirty thoughts caused by her. Even if Xue Li is vain and selfish, he can still treat her well. When he takes charge of the Wei family, Xue Li can get everything she wants.

However, she admires Liang Yan and treats Liang Yan sincerely.

From the beginning to the end, Xue Li watched his decline with cold eyes, watching the man praised by the world falling for her and bowing down to agree with a simple person like her. She must be very proud of this, and even laugh at his easiness in her heart.

Wei Jie heard Xue Li's laughter, and the bird's dying cry seemed to echo in his mind.

Just as he was displeased when he found the bird fawning over his servant, he also felt pleasure he had never experienced before when he strangled it.

What about Xue Li... Only when she dies can he be freed and everything will return to the way it was before.

Thinking of this, Wei Jie's breathing became a little heavier unconsciously, and his fingers slowly tightened. With a cold look in his eyes, he looked at Xue Li's figure through the gap in the bamboo curtain.

She lured him into the quagmire, but then pulled away alone, putting on an innocent face to watch his gaffe.

He would not let Xue Li go. Since she promised to belong to him alone, even if she died, her flesh and blood would die with him.

Xue Li's dowry has been prepared, and the wedding clothes and crown are also placed on the lacquer tray. When the right time comes, she and Liang Yan can get married. Before that, in addition to the Shen family, there were also some trivial things happening one after another, which made Xue Li and Liang Yan very busy.

In order to pray for good luck, Yao Linghui urged Xue Li to go to Jingtan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, so as to get rid of the bad luck in recent days.

Jingtan Temple was too far away, and Xue Li didn't want to sit in a bumpy carriage and suffer. Liang Yan originally wanted to go with her, but a lot of official business came up, so he had to ask the waiter to escort her to worship the Buddha.

But before Liang Yan could finish his official duties, a waiter hurriedly came to look for him, saying that Xue Li had lost track of him on the way to offer incense.

Chapter 43

The Pingyuan Marquis Mansion has been decorated and the new house has been vacated, just waiting for Xue Li and Liang Yan to officially get married. She suddenly disappeared at this moment, and the entire Hou Mansion, including the Wei family's second room, was in chaos.

On the day Xue Li went to worship the Buddha, he was accompanied by seven maids and attendants. They were all lying in the mountains and fields safe and sound, but Xue Li had lost track of them.

Liang Yan was so anxious that he led people to search the nearby mountains and fields, and ordered people to check Shen Ji's movements. When Yao Linghui hurried out from the Wei Mansion to see him, he had not closed his eyes all day and night, and his eyes were filled with tears. It was red bloodshot, and the eyes were also green and black with exhaustion. Yao Linghui burst into tears as soon as she saw him. Liang Yan comforted her and said, "Mother Li will be fine. Seeing that my marriage to her is approaching, a thief must have kidnapped her in exchange for money. Someone will definitely come to the house to deliver a message in the future." No matter what, I will bring Ms. Li back, Madam, please rest assured."

Even after Liang Yan said this, Yao Linghui was still anxious in her heart. She had never encountered such a thing before. Seeing that Xue Li was about to fly up the branch, From now on, there is no need to be looked down upon by others. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen when the good times are approaching. If something really happened to Xue Li, everything would disappear like a bubble. She would only have one daughter, Xue Li. What would she do in the future?

Yao Linghui cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. She was still crying on the way back to Wei Mansion, her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Wei Zhi was also worried about this matter. In the past, bandits in Luoyang kidnapped the young man of the Wei family. After taking the money and food, they were slaughtered cleanly. The corpses were piled together and allowed to be divided by wild wolves and wild birds. From then on, there were no more People dare to attack the descendants of the Wei family, and the bandits in Luoyang have also disappeared. It is definitely not the time to attack Xue Li.

Liang Yan's words were intended to appease Yao Linghui, but it was difficult to appease himself. He was anxious and uneasy every moment. Xue Li couldn't be found for a moment. He was panic-stricken but fortunate that at least he couldn't find her body. However, the longer time passed, the more he felt at a loss. Marquis Pingyuan rode to find him, and Liang Yan showed a confused expression, and asked him with a slightly trembling voice: "Father, what should I do..."

He turned over and dismounted, patted Liang Yan on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice He said: "Go and search for any enemies of their mother and daughter, and then interrogate and monitor them one by one. Anyone who disagrees with the Marquis Mansion or you must interrogate carefully. I am afraid that this matter is because he had a feud with me in the past and came here specifically to seek revenge."

Liang Yan Frustrated, he said: "I have already ordered people to investigate. But, if something happens to Ms. Li..." When he said this, his voice trembled even more. "It was my fault that I was busy with official duties that day. If I... if I didn't shirk it, Accompanying her to worship Buddha, Li Niang will not..."

Pingyuan Hou interrupted him: "If you accompany her, I'm afraid you will also suffer disaster. You only kidnapped Xue Li without hurting others. It must not be extremely evil. People. They came well prepared. Since they can kidnap Xue Li, they will not let you go."

Even so, Liang Yan kept thinking repeatedly, if he had accompanied Xue Li that day, would she have been safe? Yes, if this happened because of him, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Although the Pingyuan Hou Mansion and the Wei family wanted to suppress the news about Xue Li's disappearance, it was revealed by someone who was interested. Soon, even Xia Houxin knew about it. When he met the haggard-looking Liang Yan on the street, he laughed. taunt him.

"Didn't that little lady have a good relationship with Wei Lanzhang before? How can I still be empathetic to you? Maybe she regretted it and couldn't let go of Wei Lanzhang, so she left you and ran away secretly."

Liang Yan took a deep breath and tried hard to calm down his anger, but in the end he failed Still couldn't help it, he started fighting with Xia Houxin in the street. Xia Houxin's father is a current Taiwei. He grew up in the army and was good at martial arts. However, Liang Yan was also taught by Pingyuan Marquis from a young age, and the anxiety and uneasiness accumulated over the past few days were all ignited by this anger at this moment. He vented it all on Xia Houxin, beating Xia Houxin until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. They had too much upper hand, and in the end Wei Heng passed by and pulled them apart.

Xia Houxin also didn't expect that Liang Yan, who used to be easy to get along with, would become crazy like this. However, it was him who provoked him first, and it was unreasonable to say it. In addition, he did not dare to offend Wei Heng, so he could only go there bitterly. He spat blood on the ground and left thinking he was unlucky.

Liang Yan was left standing there dejectedly, with blood still hanging from the corners of his mouth.

"Absurd." Wei Heng scolded with a straight face: "What are you doing here? Get on your horse and go back with me."

Liang Yan and Wei Heng returned to the Wei Mansion. Shen Ji's whereabouts were still being searched, but Xue Li still had no clues. , as if she disappeared out of thin air, and her whereabouts could not be traced. Their people guard all the inns and key points in Luoyang to prevent anyone from taking Xue Li away.

He didn't even dare to go back to the mansion. When he saw the Marquis' mansion decorated for the wedding, he felt a burst of sadness.

"You and Lan Zhang haven't seen each other for a while, so go and sit down at Yuheng Residence." Wei Heng reminded him. For him, Xue Li is not the most important thing. If she dies, Liang Yan can marry a better daughter in the future, and there will be no gap with Wei Jie. It's just a matter of the majesty of the Wei family and the Pingyuan Hou Mansion. The person who took Xue Li away must be found out.

Thinking of Wei Jie, Liang Yan felt mixed emotions in his heart. He had not been to Yuhengju for a long time. Although he would hate Wei Jie in the past and would occasionally oppose him to get some comfort, he never really hated him. If you pass him, you will never be against him. When he hears others saying something bad about Wei Jie, he always subconsciously defends it, as if saying something bad about Wei Jie is also a rejection of him.

It's just that he would inevitably feel ashamed when standing next to Wei Jie. With Xue Li's presence, there was another layer of estrangement between the two. He knew in his heart that Wei Jie didn't want to see him, so he rarely went to Yuhengju again. Now that Xue Li had disappeared, Wei Jie used to care about her so much, so he shouldn't just watch calmly. Maybe he would have some ideas.

Liang Yan hesitated again and again, but still walked to Yuhengju. The waiter seemed to have received Wei Jie's order early. When he saw that the person coming was him, he let him in without informing him.

He walked into the courtyard. Wei Jie was wearing a gray round-neck robe, standing tall and straight in it. There was a wooden frame about ten feet away, with various sandbags tied with ropes, all as big as fists. Now they are all gone. Pierced by an arrow.

Wei Jie raised his bow and pulled the string in one go, piercing the last sandbag easily, and the sand slid down sparsely.

Liang Yan almost forgot that Wei Jie used to be the emperor's companion. He was proficient in all the six arts of a gentleman, even riding and shooting, and he was the best among the children of the aristocratic family. Now that he has replaced his wide robe and belt with this round-necked robe, the calm and mature man has gained a bit of youthful spirit.

"Le'an." He put down his bow and stood there looking at Liang Yan. "I haven't seen you for a long time. I feel a lot haggard."

Liang Yan wanted to smile bitterly, but found that it was difficult to curl the corners of his mouth. His expression looked like crying and smiling, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

"How can I feel at ease when Ms. Oriole is nowhere to be seen?"

Wei Jie stood still with no unnecessary expression on his face, which could even be called indifferent. Liang Yan was not surprised at all. Wei Jie treated everyone like this, even when he treated the dying eldest lady, but seeing him so indifferent with his own eyes still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Chen Ji hasn't been found yet. He was clearly begging for a drink in a wine shop in Luoyang a few days ago. He suddenly disappeared. I'm afraid he has something to do with him." Liang Yan didn't know why he said this. He gritted his teeth and felt depressed. He said in a voice: "Ms. Oriole is so delicate, I don't know how much she will suffer if she is taken away."

Wei Jie finally agreed, as if to comfort him. "Xue Li will be fine."

Liang Yan slowly let out a breath, braced himself up and said, "You're right, I'm still waiting for her to come back to consummate the wedding. She will be fine. Maybe she can find her in a few days. Go to her."

Wei Jie did not comment and just asked him: "Your Majesty has allowed you to go with Pingyuan Marquis to garrison in Shangjun, but now Li Niang is nowhere to be found, how are you doing?"

Liang Yan said helplessly: "How can I do this if I don't find Li Niang ? I can leave Luoyang with peace of mind. Even if I have to be punished, I must first find Li Niang. Although the ceremony has not been completed, she is already my recognized wife. I can't leave her behind whether I am alive or dead."

Wei Jie's eyes gradually filled with emotion. With an almost sarcastic smile, he slowly said: "I didn't expect you to be so affectionate towards her, I'm a little surprised."

Liang Yan was ashamed by what he said, and said helplessly: "Uncle said you are also looking for Li Niang. , thank you for putting aside the past grudges."

"There's no need to thank me."

He glanced at the gloomy sky and reminded, "I won't keep you here anymore. Go back home early." Not long

after Liang Yan left, dark clouds had already reached the top of his head, and strong winds were blowing. Ye Feisha rushed against the doors and windows, and soon the heavy rain poured down, stirring up large rain and mist, which fell into the house with the wind, and the air was filled with coolness.

He walked slowly and calmly through the corridor. As his footsteps gradually became clearer and echoed dullly in the dark room, the banging of the chains became more intense. On the contrary, the moment he stood in front of the woman, he just The sounds of anxiety and fear suddenly subsided.

Wei Jie smiled and asked, "Are you awake?"

The waiter at Yuhengju was only loyal to Wei Jie and would not comment on what he did. Therefore, no matter how he treated Xue Li, it was Xue Li's own fault.

Xue Li was gagged and his eyes widened in fear. He stretched out his hand to grab Wei Jie's sleeve and shook it almost begging.

Wei Jie knelt down and released it for her unhurriedly.

Xue Li's eyes were already red and her lips were slightly chapped. As long as she moved, the chains on her ankles would rattle.

She tried her best to calm down, but her voice couldn't help but tremble. "It was my fault in the past, but things have passed. If my cousin is dissatisfied, just tell me. Why treat me like this?"

Wei Jie only felt that he was worthy of Xue Li. Even if he fell into such a situation, he still If you can come to your senses immediately, apologize to him first.

Xue Li's voice was hoarse and her bun was messy. She couldn't remember how she arrived at Yuhengju. She only remembered that she fell asleep in the carriage. When she woke up, the surroundings were dark. Her mouth and tongue were covered with silk cloth and she couldn't cry out. She was shocked and frightened for a long time before she appeared in front of her. The figure of the maid.

As soon as she saw the maid of Yuhengju, she understood everything in her heart. She could only freeze and let the other party bring her food, lead her to change clothes and wash up in this small courtyard, and then treat her like a prisoner again. Usually locked here.

"Le'an came to me just now. He said that you are his wife and he will never abandon you no matter what." Wei Jie said this warmly, but there was an almost vicious mockery in his tone.

Xue Li's uneasy eyes immediately filled with tears, and she stared at him aggrievedly and angrily: "The love between a man and a woman is a matter of love between you and me. My cousin has no intention of marrying me, but he doesn't want me to marry someone else. Where in the world is this?" There is such an unreasonable thing. It is really against the Wei family's style for you to tie me up, and it is not the behavior of a gentleman to pester me endlessly. If my cousin lets me go now, I will pretend that I have never done anything about this..."

Wei Jie A chuckle interrupted her, which also made Xue Li's face feel a little guilty.

He stared at her, his dark eyes like a poisonous snake in the night.

"Did Ms. Li also say the same thing to her former admirer?" There was a hint of boredom on his face, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and said slowly: "You said you couldn't forgive me, but in fact you never felt sorry for me in your heart. I'm more than half guilty. I had no intention of marrying you... Even now, you still refuse to blame yourself even a little bit."

Xue Li shrank back, the corners of his eyes turned red, and he sobbed: "What did the eldest son mean by this? When I treated you How are you? Everyone in the house can see that I have received so many cold words, but now you doubt my sincerity..." "

The chestnut cake you sent to Yuhengju was indeed very useful to Le'an." Wei Jie finished speaking coldly, Xue Li He froze immediately and didn't say anything for a long time.

He moved gently and pushed the loose hair behind Xue Li's cheeks behind her ears. He moved close to her and said in a cold tone: "Xue Li, you liar."

She clenched her fists and dug her nails deeply into her fists. Holding her palm, she raised her face and said with tears in her eyes: "I thought my cousin was ruthless to me, and I was so confused that I took this step. It's right for my cousin to blame me, but because of your relationship with Liang Yan, please let me go. ..."

Xue Li has never encountered such a thing before. Wei Jie in front of her seems to have changed. She doesn't even know how to please him. Whether she is crying and admitting her mistake, or expressing her difficulties affectionately, he always expresses his love with a sincere expression. He looked at her with such an indifferent and mocking look, which made her feel humiliated and at the same time, she felt at a loss. It seemed like a nightmare. She wished she would wake up and be still on the carriage to Jingtan Temple, instead of facing a Wei Jie who was so strange to her in this secluded and dark house.

"At first I wanted to kill you." Wei Jie's tone was very soft, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but Xue Li's delicate body trembled when he heard it, and he even stopped crying.

"You can bury the crabapple tree in the yard there. Once you die, your sins will disappear. After your death, your flesh and blood will nourish the crabapple tree, which is considered a meritorious deed. I will also die with you in the future, and you will not be considered a violation." Oath." Wei Jie said in a gentle voice, but it made Xue Li feel creepy, and the fear made her almost breathless.

She has never regretted what she did as she does now. If she had known that Wei Jie was a lunatic, she would never have had anything to do with him.

Wei Jie ignored Xue Li's sobs and continued: "If you can do what you said, I can let you go. How you love Le'an, you love me, until I know the joy of love . If you can't make me happy, just bury yourself under the tree and continue to accompany me."

When Xue Li heard the word "let go", he couldn't care about anything else and nodded aggrievedly with red eyes.

Wei Jie smiled and touched the back of her head as gently as he had comforted her before.

Then he lowered his head slightly and came closer. Xue Li subconsciously stepped back, but he pressed against the back of her head to prevent her from retreating. There was her hair between his fingers. If she tried hard to avoid it, it would be pulled painfully.

Their lips touched, he opened his lips slightly, and reminded displeasedly: "Open your mouth."

Xue Li was about to cry again, so she could only open her lips in humiliation, letting Wei Jie's lips and tongue wander between her lips and teeth like a test. Feeling Xue Li's stiffness, he stopped, gasped and stepped back a distance, frowned and asked, "Were you so dull when you kissed Le'an?"

Dull?

Xue Li was stunned for a moment, and then his head buzzed, as if a firework had exploded.

She is so frivolous and still wants to humiliate her with words. How can there be such a shameless person in the world? The so-called gentleman's rules are all pretentious. How dare you call her a liar? Shameless! Damn it!

Chapter 44

Yuhengju is very large. Although it is a private garden reserved for Wei Jie alone, it has many rooms, large and small, as well as his own pond and garden. Naturally, there is also a secret room for him to place treasures.

Xue Li was locked in a dark room, separated from the front hall by a large garden. A maid guarded respectfully outside the door, occasionally coming to ask Xue Li what he needed. Wei Jie seemed to have no intention of abusing her to vent his anger, so the other party would agree to Xue Li's request, but would also keep an eye on her, watching her every move all the time. Even if Xue Li changed clothes, washed up, or asked to go out to pay respects, he could not leave the maid's sight.

However, Xue Li's cries and pleas did not get her the slightest mercy, and no matter what she said, they would not sway her in the slightest.

Xue Li waited in panic for a long time, still holding on to a glimmer of hope. If she could coax Wei Jie with a few gentle words, maybe he would be able to let her go if he softened his heart for a while. Unexpectedly, the appearance of Wei Jie made her feel more and more hopeless.

Xue Li's lips were red from being kissed, leaving a moist sheen. She resisted trying to cater to Wei Jie, but when she saw his almost indifferent expression, her face felt as if someone had slapped her. Tears of humiliation immediately filled his eyes.

She will be able to marry Liang Yan in a few days. What she has been thinking about for so long is only one step away. She can marry the one she loves and enjoy all the glory without having to bend to flatter him. Wei Jie shattered her dream and locked her up here. Even if she could escape in the future, it would definitely lead to countless rumors. Can Liang Yan treat her as before?

Xue Li's fear, anxiety, shame and anger all turned into endless anger at this moment, and she was controlled by others and could not do anything at all.

She didn't look at Wei Jie's expression. She just lowered her head and sat on the ground, crying loudly and slurring her

words: "What on earth do you want to do!" Wei Jie looked at her quietly without any intention of comforting her. He said calmly: "I said, if you keep your word, your body and mind can only belong to me." Hearing Xue Li's slightly noisy cry, he frowned in displeasure and reminded: "If you If you bore me and cannot please me, I will not keep you."

Xue Li was so frightened that he couldn't help himself from crying, but the tears kept falling. The tears on his face were extremely embarrassing, and the hair on his cheeks was wet and stuck to his face. His red and moist eyes looked even more pitiful.

Wei Jie lost interest, so he leaned over Xue Li and temporarily opened the chain on her ankle.

He helped Xue Li, who was still sobbing, to stand up. "Come with me."

In the face of death, other things become unworthy of mention. Only by living can you think about the future. Xue Li followed Wei Jie obediently, letting him hold his hand.

None of the waiters at Yuhengju cared about Xue Li, and they would not let her out softly. Xue Li even believed that even if Wei Jie wanted to kill her on the spot, the guards would drag her body away expressionlessly, and no one would know her whereabouts in the future.

The more Xue Li thought about it, the more frustrated she became, until Wei Jie sat her down in front of the desk. At some point someone brought a basin of clean water, and Wei Jie wet the handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face.

Xue Li let him move without saying a word. After Wei Jie finished all this, he dropped the veil and pressed his thumb on her lips. The force was a bit heavy. The pain made Xue Li want to hide back, but he held her back again. Stopped the head.

"Do you really like Liang Yan so much?" There was a bit of confusion in his tone, and he seemed to be sincerely seeking answers from her.

When Xue Li heard Liang Yan's name, her eyelashes trembled, and she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. She choked and said, "How do you understand... you don't like me at all."

If he could see her crying in sadness without being moved at all, then he couldn't It counts as sincere love. She was blind in the past, but she ended up provoking such a duplicitous hypocrite. He was clearly a lunatic, and he didn't know anything about love.

Xue Li gave up on himself and no longer wanted to pretend. Seeing her like this, Wei Jie was not angry and said bluntly: "If I understood, I would not spare your life." As

soon as these words came out, Xue Li's face became even more ugly.

He reached out and touched Xue Li's hair and said, "It's getting late, let's go have a meal first."

Wei Jie's tone was calm, but his expression always reminded Xue Li of poisonous snakes, and his words also sounded like The viper hissed, as if if she offended him, his fangs would pierce her neck without hesitation.

No matter what Wei Jie said at this moment, it sounded in Xue Li's ears with a bit of coldness that made her hair stand on end.

The meal was tasteless, so Wei Jie put down his food and asked her, "But it doesn't suit your taste? If you like something, just ask."

Xue Li shook his head stiffly. "No."

She had not been to Yuhengju for a long time, and had not paid attention to Wei Jie's movements. The few times they met, he nodded coldly and distantly, and passed her by. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Now it was like this. Even though she had been locked up in Yuhengju for three days, she still felt like she couldn't come back to her senses.

"Have you had sex with Le'an?" Wei Jie asked coldly.

Xue Li was thinking sadly about how to please him when he suddenly heard him speak and said "ah" in confusion. Then his face turned red and he said angrily: "No!"

Wei Jie didn't ask any more questions and looked sideways at the scenery outside the window. He didn't know what he was thinking, but after a while he looked away and said, "Ms. Li, tell me about your past."

Seeing that Xue Li's face looked bad, he added: "You don't have to lie to me, I can Find out."

The sky was getting dark, and there were many candlesticks in Wei Jie's room, illuminating the room as bright as day. Xue Li didn't want to mention the past. What she did in the past was not glorious, and her appearance was not beautiful enough. Therefore, she was always worried that Liang Yan would want to find out what she was doing in Wu County, not to mention that she had been deliberately seducing Liang Yan. If she was found out, She had fallen in love with him early on, and he would definitely understand that everything was her plan for a long time, and the love between the two would inevitably be a little more fake.

When Wei Jie asked about this, she became a little impatient, but she also tried her best to say that she was innocent and pitiful, so that Wei Jie could have some compassion and let her leave as soon as possible.

However, when it comes to the Xue family members, the impatience gradually disappears. Instead, it seems that the long-standing grievances are expressed. Finally, there is a listener, so that she does not need to pretend to be dignified and kind, and mentions those uncles. Her words were extremely harsh and she mercilessly disparaged her own relatives. Even when he talked about them being implicated due to the war, his tone was unabashedly mocking and ridiculing.

Some of these things were already known to Wei Jie when he ordered people to go to Wu County to check her past. However, I always had a different feeling when I heard it from Xue Li. She was very good at adding fuel to the fire. When talking about her past self, she used every opportunity to show her pity to him, hoping that he would be able to move his weak compassion.

Wei Jie just looked at her with a half-smile, and she showed a disappointed and resentful expression.

"There once was a gentleman named Yu in Wu County who sought death for you. He hanged himself at home and was rescued. Is it true?" After Wei Jie finished speaking, a look of surprise flashed in Xue Li's eyes. Apparently, he had not expected Wei Jielian to do this. Everything can be found out.

She looked away slightly guiltily, but what she said was quite reasonable. "Mr. Yu is wishful thinking and wants to kidnap me and run away. Naturally, I will not pay attention to such a treasonous thing. Who would have thought that he would seek death because of this. He wants to admire me, so what does it have to do with me..."

Most of the men He is good at being sentimental, thinking that if a woman smiles at him and says a few nice words, she will fall in love with him.

Xue Li was gossiped about for a while, and he felt annoyed when he mentioned it. He said coldly: "Mr. Yu is cowardly and incompetent. He seeks death without the ability to make me like him. Even if it is not for me, there will be thousands of ways for such a person in the future." How can the reason for seeking death be regarded as my fault?"

When she talked about this, she even looked at Wei Jie with aggrieved eyes, as if she wanted to get his approval.

Wei Jie said lightly: "If Le'an knew how selfish, hypocritical and mean you were, do you think he would still treat you the same as before?"

Wei Jie's words were like a thorn piercing Xue Li's vitals, making her feel like She stood up suddenly like a cat whose tail had been stepped

on, and said angrily: "What does it have to do with you?" After saying that, she met Wei Jie's cold gaze, and her heart trembled involuntarily, so she had to sit back obediently without saying a word. .

In terms of hypocrisy, I'm afraid she can't compare to Wei Jie. On the surface, he is kind and gentle, but behind his back, he is scornful and unyielding. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a shameless villain.

"If you have anything to ask, I can tell you." Wei Jie thought this was an exchange. He knew Xue Li, and Xue Li should also know him.

Xue Li's understanding of Wei Jie comes from the various praises bestowed upon him by the world. However, she knows nothing about his character and past, and she has no time to understand him, and she doesn't have the time to understand him now. The more she knew, the harder it would be to escape him in the future.

Xue Li said perfunctorily: "No one knows about my cousin's deeds. I have heard about it before."

Wei Jie exposed her. "Don't you want to ask?"

Xue Li glanced at him and said helplessly: "Then cousin is afraid of the dark?"

He was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect that Xue Li would ask such a thing. He smiled and replied: "I had it when I was young, but now I am used to it."

Wei Heng did not allow his bird's eye syndrome to be known to outsiders, so except for Wei Heng and Yu Hengju who had served him since childhood, only Xue Li accidentally found out about this. When he was young, he fell down due to being unable to see at night. When he saw his mother, he secretly told her about this, thinking that he would get some care, but he did not want to annoy her and get a lot of curses. Then his father also scolded him and made him kneel in the dark ancestral hall for a whole day.

This was the first time someone asked him if he was afraid of the dark, even though she probably didn't mean to care.

A strange feeling welled up in Wei Jie's heart, and it seemed that he had to do something to resolve it. Then he leaned close to Xue Li, held her face and kissed her.

Xue Li smelled the intoxicating aroma again. Wei Jie's hair was entangled with hers, as inseparable as the entangled vines. Their breaths exchanged between their lips and teeth, and even the surrounding air seemed to become... Sticky.

Wei Jie is a person who is very good at learning and exploring. He can easily find a way to seduce Xue Li, and then defeat her with extreme patience, which can even be called seduction. Xue Li's body became weak and her breathing became hot. She felt ashamed of her change and could only blame it on Wei Jie because he was too hateful.

After the kiss, Xue Li was already blushing and her lips were slightly numb. She tried to calm her breathing and her chest rose and fell slowly. Wei Jie took time to observe her expression and let out a chuckle that made her feel ashamed and angry.

"Okay, go back."

Xue Li left Wei Jie's bedroom as if fleeing. The maid sent her back to her dark room. It seemed that in order not to attract attention, there was never a candle in the room.

The chain was not long and only allowed her to move around the bed. After waking up at night, the coldness on her ankles was like a poisonous snake wrapped around it, which always made her feel startled.

Wei Jie often visits her, gives her gorgeous clothes, talks to her about his recent affairs, and even occasionally when he is in a happy mood, he will hold her in his arms and bask in the sun on the porch.

Wei Jie held the book in his hand, and Xue Li lay in his arms. The two were intimate, but they had their own thoughts.

Sometimes she couldn't help but ask about A Niang or Wei Yun, but she didn't dare to mention Liang Yan in front of him. And Wei Jie always answered her: "It's enough for you to have me, you don't need to care about others."

"That's my grandma." She wanted to know how the people she cherished would react during the period when she disappeared. .

However, Wei Jie would still tell her: "You only need me."

It was simply inhumane.

After going back and forth, Xue Li also gave up. In fact, even if she didn't ask, she could guess that A Niang would be crying all day long, and would even blame Liang Yan for these things. As for Liang Yan, she didn't dare to ask. Their wedding was coming soon. Liang Yan might blame himself for this and search for news about her like crazy every day. He would also be in a dilemma between her and government affairs.

Similarly, she also misses Liang Yan like crazy. Whenever she sees the chains at her ankles, she will feel a sense of despair. What if Wei Jie wants to lock her away for the rest of her life? Will she be unable to leave her for the rest of her life? .

Xue Li didn't want to die here, she could only go against her body and mind to please Wei Jie, even if she had to betray Liang Yan, she could only do this.

Xue Li would mark a mark on the bedpost every day to prevent her from losing track of how many days she had been imprisoned. On the ninth day, she had become accustomed to Wei Jie's closeness and had even learned how to cater to him.

Wei Jie was handling government affairs, while Xue Li was painting her eyebrows boredly in front of the mirror. Wei Jie gave her many expensive hairpin rings, but unfortunately no one appreciated them, so she could only take a look at herself in the mirror.

After a while, Jin Qing's voice sounded outside the door. "Your Majesty, Prince Liang wants to see you."

Xue Li shook his hand and the hairpin fell to the ground with a soft sound.

Her whole body was tense, and she did not immediately bend down to pick it up, but just held the clothes tightly tightly without moving.

Wei Jie raised his eyes to look at her and said as if nothing had happened: "Let him in."

Xue Li thought that he had heard wrongly, and turned his head to look at Wei Jie in shock, trying to see the reason from his face.

He smiled and said, "You really want to see him?"

Xue Li couldn't see his emotion, and pursed his lips slightly without answering.

"Ms. Li, come here."

Xue Li hesitated for a moment before standing up. As soon as he got closer, Wei Jie suddenly pulled him into his arms, and hit his forehead on his shoulder. It was so painful that he almost burst into tears.

A gentle and slightly mocking voice sounded above the head. "You were thinking just now that if Le'an knew

you were here, he would fight to the death to save you, right?" Wei Jie clamped her jaw with his hands, forcing her to look into his eyes, and then said in a calm tone, almost cruelly: "I really don't like trouble, but for me, killing him doesn't really count. It's a difficult thing." Xue Li was shocked and angry, gritting his teeth and said: "He grew up with you since childhood." Wei Jie looked indifferent, not touched by her words in the slightest. Xue Li immediately understood that Wei Jie didn't care at all and he would kill Liang Yan without mercy. If she didn't want to kill Liang Yan, she would never let Liang Yan know that she was here. Wei Jie changed her direction so that her back was facing him, and then put an arm around her waist. "Liang Yan is coming soon." Xue Li urged him to let go of him and struggled to get up, but was held down firmly by Wei Jie. "Don't worry about him." As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Li noticed that the hem of the layered skirt was lifted up, and cold fingers touched her skin. She froze, and then immediately pulled his hand out. Just as she was about to stop him, footsteps were heard at the door, and she followed suit, but he got the chance and slid in like a cold snake. in. "Lan Zhang?" Liang Yan knocked on the door and asked, "Are you in?"

Chapter 45

The moment Liang Yan's voice sounded, Xue Li's eyes felt sour, and his heart felt as if someone was tightly grabbing him. She turned her head and wanted to plead with Wei Jie, but was pulled into his arms. She felt the rise and fall under her clothes. Her face was so red that her fingers clenched tightly on the edge of the desk, and her knuckles were so hard that they turned blue and white. .

Wei Jie lowered his head to kiss her cheek and said, "What's the matter? It's okay to say it."

Liang Yan saw that Wei Jie didn't even open the door. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything. Wei Jie has an eccentric temperament and often misses guests. This is not the first time that he has been turned away. It's just that Xue Li has not been seen yet. There are many political affairs in the court, and he is overwhelmed. Now he wants to have a drink and talk with Wei Jie, but he stays behind closed doors, and he feels a little lonely in his heart.

"It's nothing serious, just... I haven't found Lady Li yet, and His Majesty urged me to go to Shangjun to take up my post. A few days ago, I had a dispute with Xia Houxin. He took advantage of this and wanted to force me to step down from government affairs and leave Luoyang immediately. . My father and uncle delayed it for me, but they could only last ten days and a half, otherwise they would have me thrown into jail for disobeying the order..."

Liang Yan's tone revealed a strong sense of exhaustion and helplessness, which was similar to Xue Li's. He was completely different from the high-spirited person he was before the accident.

The warm fragrance lingered slowly in the room, and in the silence, only the rustle of clothing could be heard.

Xue Li's waist was tightened, and his whole body was tense. He bit his lip to suppress the sound that was about to escape his mouth.

Wei Jie could see her delicate neck trembling like a flower branch in the wind and rain. He could easily control her and mobilize all her feelings.

Xue Li's changes were all caused by him. This was something she couldn't help herself.

Wei Jie got a kind of satisfaction from it, as if something was filling his empty chest.

Faced with Xue Li's breathing that was getting messy, he remained calm and composed, and replied in a tone that was so calm that there was no strangeness at all: "You came to me because you wanted me to deal with it for you and delay your appointment in Shangjun. ?"

Xue Li was shaking violently, pinching Wei Jie's arm with one hand, and her nails almost dug into his flesh.

He lowered his head and kissed her, but had no intention of stopping.

Liang Yan's voice came from outside the door again. "I still want to find Li Niang. I believe she is still alive and waiting for me to bring her back to get married..."

Liang Yan said somewhat sadly: "She likes that wedding dress. We picked it out together for a long time. I haven't seen her put it on yet, I have to wait...wait some more, and she will be safe and sound."

Xue Li felt uncomfortable in her heart. At the same time, Wei Jie became more and more aggressive, not only not letting her go, but also As if being stung by Liang Yan's words, he breathed a little heavier, and then hugged her tighter.

Xue Li groaned in pain and bit his lip again. He was so nervous that he didn't dare to make any more noise to avoid being noticed by Liang Yan. On the one hand, she hoped that Liang Yan would rescue her, but on the other hand, she didn't want Liang Yan to see through her affair with Wei Jie. What's more, the person behind her is not a good young man from Zhilan Yushu at all, but a complete bastard! A shameless lunatic!

At this moment, he was so close to his lover whom he had not seen for many days, but Xue Li did not dare to recognize him. He could only cry silently, wishing that he could turn his head and scratch Hua Wei Jie's face.

Xue Li felt as if her back was numb, and an indescribable taste filled her whole body. She bit the tip of her tongue and tasted the bloody smell in her mouth, forcing herself to remember this moment amidst the huge shame, anger and humiliation.

Liang Yan couldn't die, and she couldn't die either. She had to live for a long time, watching Wei Jie's hypocrite skin be exposed, and watching him end up in such a humiliating situation one day. As long as she lives, she will never let Wei Jie have such an easy time forever.

"I understand. I will note this matter. You don't have to worry. As for Xue Li..." Wei Jie paused and then said, "Do your best and obey fate."

Liang Yan repeatedly delayed going to Shangjun because of Xue Li's disappearance. This incident has caused dissatisfaction among the courtiers. Zhao Ji was originally an emperor who did not do business, but he also had a weird temper. He finally found trouble and immediately came to scold Liang Yan. Now that the kings are revolting, the southwest area has been completely involved in the war, and Shangjun is rich and stable, which is already an excellent job for him... After

Liang Yan got his answer, he looked at the closed door again. He opened the door and did not disturb his thoughts anymore. He just said: "Thank you very much. In that case, I will leave. If I have the opportunity, I will come back to drink with you in the future."

When the footsteps faded away, Xue Li had already released a trace of blood from his body. A thin layer of sweat covered her face, her face turned red, and she leaned on the table as if all her strength had been exhausted, like a fish that had been thrown ashore. Only the way her back rose and fell with her breathing showed that she was not as calm as she looked.

Wei Jie slowly held up the hem of her pomegranate skirt, wiped her hands and then said, "I can do whatever Liang Yan does to you, as long as I'm not good?"

Xue Li felt as if there was a poisonous fire burning in his stomach. , she gritted her teeth, pinched her palms fiercely, her eyelashes covered with tears trembled slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "He can marry me and only treat me well, can you do the same?" Wei

Jie tilted his head slightly, as if wondering: "Why do you think I

can't do it ?" ?"

Wei Jie was not deceived by her tears, and said warmly: "Who taught you to lie to me. Mother Li, you can't want everything. You provoked me, but you tried to escape unscathed. You should pay the price, Isn't it?"

He helped Xue Li stand up and said, "It seems a little dirty. Let's take a bath first and change some clothes. I heard from Qinghe that you have trouble sleeping at night and often have nightmares. It's because I haven't thought well. I will stay with you for a few days."

Xue Li looked complicated, and after meeting Wei Jie's eyes, he suppressed the words he wanted to say.

She would rather have nightmares every night than share a bed with Wei Jie, at least not to be treated as a plaything when his mood strikes.

Xue Li didn't want to face Wei Jie, so she tried every means to delay the matter of washing and bathing for nearly an hour. When the water got cold, a waiter came in to add hot water. She soaked until her fingertips were wrinkled and her mind was dizzy. It was so swollen that he still delayed getting up from the water. Finally, he simply raised his head and leaned against the soup pool to take a nap with his eyes closed.

Maybe she was really sleepy, so she fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, an unknown amount of time had passed. The soup pool was still warm. She tried to push herself up, but her arms were numb and weak, and she almost slipped in. At that time, he was intercepted by an arm.

Xue Li was so frightened by the suddenly stretched out hand that she squeezed out a short scream. Then a lot of water splashed in the soup pool, and the man took her out of the water angrily. , and pulled the loose robe over her body.

"Wei Jie!" She was furious. "You don't know how to be ashamed!"

After she finished speaking, she wrapped her robe tightly and turned to look at him angrily. She saw water dripping from Wei Jie's cheeks and his face was slightly red, but he still said seriously: "It's just a question. There is not much difference between having a skin, not to mention that you came here for me, and your body belongs to me, so why should you be angry."

Xue Li sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "To put it nicely, you were so angry when I kissed your skin. I can't even say anything, but now my words have changed. How can a good woman not even care about slapping him in the face? There is no trace of Wei's husband's demeanor."

Wei Jie's cheeks and clothes were splashed There were a lot of water stains on her face, but he didn't wipe it off. Instead, he pulled up her slipping robe and covered her tightly. No matter how sharp Xue Li's words were, they were like a punch that didn't hit the target. She herself was angry and annoyed.

He reached out and wiped the water from her face, and said calmly: "No matter what you do to me now, I won't annoy you."

Xue Li was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood when he heard this, and said angrily in a low voice : "You think beautifully."

"It's been more than an hour, and you just fell asleep and didn't even know you slipped into the water. If it weren't for me, you might have drowned in the pond." Wei Jie was quite ruthless when he said this. "If you die in such an embarrassing way, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to have any love for you."

She felt like a vein in her head was beating and her heart was pounding. She was so angry that she couldn't breathe smoothly.

Before she could calm down, Wei Jie handed her the clothes. Said: "Change your clothes, it's time to rest."

People in the Wei family are very strict about the timing of morning and dusk. Wei Jie is an exception. There is no need to go to Wei Heng to say hello, but he still goes to bed and gets up when the time comes. In the past few years, there have been few exceptions.

Xue Li slept with him, and was forced to accept it. However, although the two had done many intimate things, this was the first time they slept together. Compared to Xue Li, who was calm and resigned to his fate, Wei Jie's behavior was on the contrary. Like the one who is not used to it.

Fortunately, Wei Jie's bed was big enough, and he seemed to have no extra thoughts. He just wanted to sleep with her. He lay straight on the bed, and even his sleeping appearance was as dignified as a stone statue, with no trace of anything out of the ordinary. Popular.

Xue Li couldn't help but said: "You don't have to force it, I can go back to sleep."

Being chained was just an extra layer of coldness on her feet. Wei Jie was lying beside her. If she woke up at night, she would feel that she was lying in a tomb, next to her. There is also a cold corpse.

Wei Jie was silent for a moment and explained: "I've never slept with anyone before...I'm really not used to it."

He stood up and asked her with some embarrassment: "Do you want to have sex? If you want to..."

Xue Li Da Hai quickly interrupted: "I don't want to! Why are you asking these questions?" Did she look like she wanted to have sex with him?

Wei Jie got her answer and lay back down again. If Xue Li wanted to, he would really have to think about it. At first he thought kissing was a disgusting and boring thing, but after trying it a few times with Xue Li, it didn't seem to be annoying at all, and it was even a bit pleasurable. However, the matter of bed, related to reproduction, should be a beautiful thing, but he still felt disgusting and vulgar. Thinking of the scenes in those dreams, he could not help but feel disgusted with himself, who was like a beast.

Even if Wei Jie was about to go to bed, the candlelight in the room was already bright, and Xue Li couldn't adapt. In addition, he was frightened by Wei Jie's words, and his mind was clear and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

He had no choice but to hold her in his arms and said in a calm tone: "Take away his ancestral martial arts, and be careful to pursue him. Then, he will correct his mistakes and blame his unfaithfulness, like Mr. Keshao..."

"What does this mean?"

"Wei's family Training."

Xue Li frowned and said, "I don't want to learn."

He smiled and said, "I'm not asking you to learn. I just want you to feel sleepy after listening to this."

Xue Li listened in silence until he heard Wei Jie say "If you have a wife and take a wife, you will be punished with ninety rods, grounded for ten months, and divorced. Those who are over forty and have no children will not be allowed to take a concubine. Violators will be flogged for sixty years..."

She sighed and said regretfully: "

If Mr. ?"

"Of course I can marry you." He clasped Xue Li's waist with his hands, tightened his arms slightly, and pulled her into his arms. The intoxicating fragrance lingered, completely wrapping her up like a big net. . "If you're worth it."
