Chapter 46
The wedding date has passed for a long time, and Liang Yan has never visited Yuhengju again. Xue Li lived in Yuhengju like a year, and when he opened his eyes, he faced sometimes the cold chains on his ankles, sometimes the jade-colored tent ceiling in Wei Jie's bedroom.
He is very knowledgeable and seems to know everything. Xue Li can ask him anything. Wei Jie was gentle and patient, never getting angry with her, and there was always a hint of smile in his tone. It's just that the indulgent tenderness often reveals contemptuous tolerance.
Xue Li knew that she was not smart. She was just born beautiful and had some good luck from God. With some small tricks, she was enough to make many unloving men fall head over heels for her. As time goes by, she will develop a sense of arrogance until she meets someone like Wei Jie.
Wei Jie has impressive knowledge and a rich family fortune, which can enable her to live in a comfortable life and become a true master. What's more, he treated her so considerately and tenderly. If she was willing to let go of Liang Yan and accept Wei Jie, everything would not have to be so embarrassing.
Whenever Xue Liku sat in the yard facing the withering vegetation, she would do everything possible to convince herself to accept Wei Jie's love, saying over and over in her heart that Wei Jie loved her very much and could give her everything she wanted. It is not difficult for Xue Li to forget his feelings for Liang Yan...
However, the more this happens, the harder it becomes for Xue Li to enter the drama. She sees through Wei Jie's insensitivity hidden under his gentle face. He has never shown love to her. She was clearly possessing her selfishly, just like a cat or dog, wanting to be her only master. Wei Jie is just upset because of her teasing. When she sincerely surrenders, he will definitely feel bored soon, and then he will kill her without hesitation.
"Ms. Li, what are you thinking about?"
Wei Jie asked aloud. Xue Li was nestled in his arms, her eyes falling on the crabapple tree in the yard. When she heard his voice, she felt an inexplicable creepiness.
She came back to her senses, feeling a little depressed. She tightened her arms and buried her head in the hollow of his shoulder.
Wei Jie patted her and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
She shook her head and hesitated for a long time before asking, "How is my mother-in-law?"
After Xue Li accidentally mentioned Liang Yan, Wei Jie's eyes changed. It was so scary that she didn't even dare to try to make innuendoes, but after all, her mother and her were dependent on each other, and they were the only relatives in the world who were by her side, so she couldn't ignore her.
"Ms. Yao is very good. In order to appease her, my uncle gave her two good shops." Wei Jie seemed to want to make her give up, and added: "She went to Xiangshan to enjoy the red leaves a few days ago. She must have given up. Don't worry about her."
Wei Jie disdained lying, and Xue Li also knew that A Niang could indeed do such a thing. Mother and daughter are exactly the same in their selfishness and unfeeling. Just as Wei Jie often said to her, now she only has him to rely on.
Xue Li lowered his eyes and said sadly: "I only have you now, will you always treat me well?"
He smiled and said: "You like me, so of course I will treat you well."
After she finished speaking, Suddenly he frowned, his face became strange, and his body became obviously stiff.
"What's wrong?"
Xue Li felt something strange in her lower body, and she was about to push him away and stand up. Wei Jie grabbed her and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"I... feel unwell." Xue Li hesitated. , his words were also unclear, and his face was getting redder and redder. Wei Jie also noticed the strangeness and finally let her go, but it was too late. Xue Li subconsciously glanced at the place where he was sitting, and saw a bit of dazzling red on Wei Jieshuang's robe, which was so eye-catching that it was difficult to ignore it. Even though she was usually bold, she couldn't help but blush with embarrassment at this moment.
Wei Jie saw a red plum-like blood stain on his robe, and finally realized that the man who had always taken his time in the past was now at a loss for words. The two of them stood and sat together, so embarrassed that they couldn't speak for a long time. Words come.
He coughed lightly and reminded: "I'm not thinking clearly, you go and change your clothes first."
Xue Li caught a glimpse of his reddish ears, and even when he was embarrassed and annoyed, he didn't forget to sneer secretly in his heart. It was clear that she was so frivolous in the past that she didn't even blink, but now she felt ashamed.
Guishui, who was extremely boring to Xue Li in the past, now gave her a temporary respite. She lay on the bed with a pale face. She didn't have to share the bed with Wei Jie. She only had to pretend to moan a few times, and he would put down his government affairs and come over to read some vulgar stories to her. Occasionally those ridiculous things would make him frown, but he would just pause for a moment and continue reading for her.
Xue Li really has no entertainment. She is like a bird in a cage. She can only please Wei Jie and tease Wei Jie, so as to bring some fun to the extremely boring and hopeless days.
It would be nice if the person in front of him was Liang Yan, he would not bear to see her sad.
The resentment in Xue Li's heart could not be eliminated, so she could only use this to torment Wei Jie. Only when she saw that he was unhappy would she feel better.
Soon Wei Jie called for a doctor. This was the first time Xue Li saw an outsider after so many days in confinement in Yuhengju. She leaned on the couch and stared at the other person, hoping to see any trace of mercy in his eyes. It is often said that doctors are benevolent, so she can only hope that the doctor can intercede for her, or tell the news about her here.
However, perhaps because her gaze was too hot, the doctor avoided her gaze, coughed slightly in embarrassment, and looked at Wei Jie not far away for help.
"Ms. Xue is fine. The unbearable abdominal pain is probably due to deficiency of qi and blood. I will prescribe her a medicine to nourish qi and blood and tonify yin and yang. Take it morning and evening. After drinking it for a while, she will be fine..."
Wei Jie nodded and asked, "How is mother these days?"
"The eldest lady has a cough attack and is now taking medicine, but her hysteria has not improved. If Lang Jun wants to see her..." "
Mother doesn't want to talk to me. See, I'd better not go, I'll bother Dr. Zhang to take care of her for me." After Wei Jie finished speaking, his eyes fell lightly on Xue Li. "As for Ms. Li, Doctor Zhang knows what to do."
"Don't worry, Sir, I won't say anything."
Xue Li withdrew his resentful eyes and buried his head in the quilt.
"Doctor Zhang is a member of Yuhengju. He is both prosperous and devastated. Do you think he can save you?"
Wei Jie's tone was unkind, as if it was some kind of warning. "Wouldn't it be better to stay with me?"
Xue Li was half guilty and half afraid. He poked half of his head out of the quilt, looked at him pitifully, and whispered: "Cousin, I still hurt, come here and give me a hug. ..."
He looked at her motionless for a while, as if hesitating, but soon he approached her, picked her up from the quilt and held her in his arms.
Xue Li raised her face to kiss him, gently rubbing her forehead against the side of his neck, as if an animal was showing kindness to its owner.
"It's just that this place is too boring. I want to go for a walk. You are not in the house. I am living alone. They don't talk to me..."
It seems to be an order from Wei Jie. In addition to the necessary replies, Yuhengju The waiter paid no attention to her small talk. Nowadays, there are many government affairs in the court, and Wei Jie is often away from the house, so she can only be locked in a small room in a daze. Even if she is so angry that she sheds tears, no one will pay attention to her.
Wei Jie is a weirdo. He can stay alone for ten days and a half without leaving the yard and not talking to anyone. But Xue Li was different. She had never been a person who could settle down, and she almost went crazy thinking about leaving.
"Winter is coming. I will tell my father to go to the mountains for some time to practice meditation. Then I will take you with me."
Wei Jie hugged Xue Li, but she kept pressing against him until their bodies were closely connected.
Xue Li couldn't help but despise herself. She clearly wanted to escape from Wei Jie, but she felt inexplicably agitated when he was not around. As soon as Wei Jie came near, she couldn't help but stick closer to him. The fragrance seemed to make her She was intoxicated, and even her anxious heart gradually calmed down.
Early in the morning, the ground was covered with autumn frost, making it crunchy under your feet. The flowers in Wei Yun's yard were also frozen, and very few people went to the academy to listen to the lessons. Now Wei Chi was in confinement thinking about his past, and Wei Li was already learning from Wei Zhi to take over the affairs of the court. It seemed that everyone was doing their own thing. Only she has to stay at home peacefully, waiting for her husband, who is not familiar with her, to get married.
Wei Yun was thinking a lot and didn't know where to go. He just walked around the house aimlessly. Finally, he came to the door of Taoqiyuan. When he looked up, he could see the withered oleander trees in autumn. The sparse branches and leaves have long lost their former beauty and vitality, just like Taoqiyuan, which suddenly fell silent. She stood in front of the courtyard gate, but she couldn't bear to step inside again.
The cousin has long forgotten Xue Li, and even Liang Yan, who has been looking for her tirelessly, is gradually getting tired. A long time has passed and there is still no news about her, not even a corner of her clothes can be found. Even if a flower withers, it should leave no trace, let alone a living person.
Wei Yun had no choice but to secretly ask his people to inquire about the wine shops and prostitutes in Luoyang. She was afraid of finding Xue Li in these places, and she was also afraid that she would never be found again. Xue Li is a daughter of a scholar. If she is abducted and used as a prostitute, she will be killed to preserve the family's reputation. If she can really find Xue Li, she will never let anyone know about it. She can secretly take care of her. Even if she takes care of her for the rest of her life, she will never let her be bullied again.
At the Shuowang court meeting again, Wei Jie followed Wei Heng into the palace, but he didn't know when he would be back. Even though Xue Li tried her best to please him, she was still locked in the room. Wei Jie was always sober and seemed to treat her with every possible consideration, but in fact he always watched with restraint and indifference.
Every time Xue Li made a move, the sound of chains banging would be heard in the silent room. This cold sound was heard even in dreams.
The doctors in the mansion were all taking orders from Wei Jie, so who else was willing to help her? It was impossible to make people feel pity.
Xue Li stared at the scratches carved on the bedpost, which were so dense that it made her feel cold.
If she didn't leave, A Niang would think she was dead, and Liang Yan would choose to forget her, and everyone would continue to live their own lives. Then she would really be alone, leaving only Wei Jie, a madman, to rely on.
Late at night, Wei Jie was still in the palace and had not returned. Xue Li could not see him, and her heart felt as if insects and ants were crawling over her. She tossed and turned on the couch, unable to fall asleep.
A strong wind blew in the night, and the trees in the yard were blown around. The shadows of the trees reflected on the ground were like demons with teeth and claws. The sound made by the night wind was like a whimper, so weird that Xue Li couldn't close his eyes at all.
Until the fire suddenly burst out, Xue Li still opened his eyes soberly. She immediately sat up and looked at the door in horror. Just when she was about to call someone, the maid who was looking after her ran in to unchain her.
"What's going on?"
"There is a flood in the house, and the fire has reached Yuhengju. The fire is too strong and may affect the lady. Please take shelter first.
" Cold sweat broke out on the ground.
Before the maid could untie the chains and stand up, Xue Li grabbed the maid's hair with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, causing the back of her head to hit the bedpost.
The maid fainted before she could say anything. Xue Li's hands kept shaking and her heart was beating fast. She could only try her best to calm herself down, then quickly took off the maid's coat and put it on herself. Then he chained the maid and laid her on the bed instead.
After Xue Li finished all this, she neatly tied up her hair and quickly ran out the door with her head lowered. Even just stepping out of the door alone was enough to cheer her up physically and mentally. The blazing fire in the distance was getting closer and closer. Seeing this, she felt cruel and simply locked the door of the house. This way, someone would know that "Xue Li" had not come out yet and rush in to rescue her.
After doing this, Xue Li lowered her head and hid behind the pillar. When more and more people were putting out the fire, she took the opportunity to sneak into the waiters. Soon there will be people surrounding Yu Heng's house. Maybe someone will know that she is here. Even if Wei Heng wants to drive her away and prohibit her from entering Luoyang for the rest of her life, she will admit it.
In the chaos, Xue Li heard the sound of wind and noisy voices in her ears. The raging fire burned the wooden beams, and the exploding sparks made a crackling sound. Every movement made her heart beat wildly.
The fire seemed to have started because of Wei Ling. She escaped privately and went crazy. She set fire everywhere to burn down Wei's house, but she accidentally gave Xue Li a chance to save her life.
She took advantage of the chaos and took away a wooden barrel, pretending to carry water and followed a few waiters. The door of Yuhengju was gradually approaching. She heard many people's voices. As soon as she stepped out, someone discovered that she was still alive. Soon You can leave.
Xue Li's footsteps became more and more brisk, and every step seemed to be stepping on the clouds. She did not dare to raise her head and ran towards the door of Yuhengju. The waiter in front suddenly stopped and called out respectfully: "Young Master."
Xue Li's footsteps also stagnated, and he even held his breath. Her hair covered most of her face, and her features were hidden in the darkness. Wei Jie should not be able to see her clearly, and no one cared about her in the chaos.
Xue Li comforted herself in her heart, but her shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly. However, among the waiters, her strangeness was not noticed.
Wei Jie's eyes lightly swept over and said calmly: "Go."
Xue Li felt as if he was being pardoned, and his whole figure seemed to come to life again, and his palms were clammy.
After walking around the corridor, she had already seen the courtyard door of Yuhengju. The firelight and smoke rising into the sky were left behind, leaving her together with the nightmare days.
Xue Li almost cried with joy. She quickened her pace and ran over.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the crook of her leg. The pain caused her to fall directly to the ground. The barrel in her hand fell out and rolled around a few times before stopping.
She ignored the bruises and almost thought her legs were broken. She couldn't stand up. She was still looking at the door of Yuhengju, trying desperately to get up.
"Auntie, I'm here..." As soon as Xue Li's voice came out, a touch of coldness hit his neck.
The blade reflected the warm firelight, but it could not reduce its coldness at all.
Xue Li was mute, and turned his head tremblingly to look behind him. Wei Jie was tall and tall, and his broad sleeves were blown by the wind. He just stood there quietly and looked at her, the fire was far away. The ground reflected on him and danced in his dark eyes.
What she saw in Wei Jie's eyes was not anger, but contempt.

Chapter 47
The eyes of Xue Li and Wei Jie met. For a moment, it was like falling into an ice cave. The coldness filled her limbs and made her tremble involuntarily.
The great despair and fear made her stomach ache, and all her expectations were shattered at this moment. She was completely helpless and called him in a trembling voice: "Cousin..."
Wei Jie looked at her. With a kind of cold understanding, "Where do you want to go?"
The sharp sword blade fell on the fragile skin of Xue Li's neck, and blood flowed profusely with just one stroke. In the dim light, Wei Jie couldn't see clearly the expression on Xue Li's face, but he could vaguely guess how she looked pitiful and wanted him to relent and let her go.
The pain from Xue Li's leg made it difficult for her to even stand up. She could only sit on the ground and sob: "I miss my mother... I want to see her. Please let me go." At this moment, the
wind was blowing hard. The air was filled with choking smoke. Xue Li knew in her heart that it was extremely unlikely to make Wei Jie relent, but she had no choice. Once she was captured again this time, she would definitely be under strict supervision. She didn't know when she would be free in the future, let alone find Liang. Yan Liao.
Fear aroused Xue Li's resentment, and she almost broke down and burst into tears. She lost her usual dignified and gentle appearance, covering her face and crying until her body trembled.
Wei Jie frowned and looked at her, feeling puzzled gradually in his heart.
Why should he be troubled by a woman like Xue Li? She is greedy for life and afraid of death, selfish, often doesn't tell the truth, and can even go back on the vows she made easily.
Wei Jie despised her from the bottom of his heart, but wanted to keep her, and hoped that Xue Li would love him as much as he loved Liang Yan.
Could it be that he was bringing it upon himself, so he simply killed Xue Li and everything would go back to the beginning.
His eyes were lowered, with an expression that seemed both compassionate and indifferent. "Mother Li, do you only want me to be bad?"
Xue Li's crying gradually stopped. She was sobbing and did not answer immediately. Then she heard Wei Jie say: "If you can't do it, I will let you go."
After that, He actually sheathed his sword.
Xue Li was stunned for a while, looking at him in disbelief, and then she was ecstatic. She endured the pain and stood up in embarrassment to leave. However, before she could take a step, the strong uneasiness in her heart made her freeze in place. .
He said warmly: "What's wrong?"
Xue Li wiped his tears, leaned over and hugged Wei Jie, his tears rubbing against his clothes. Her throat was blocked for a while, and she said with a cry: "I want my cousin..."
She didn't believe what the madman said! I'm afraid Wei Jie will kill her without hesitation before she walks out of the gate of Yuhengju.
Living is the most important thing, no matter how much humiliation she has to endure.
Because of strong winds, it was difficult to stop the fire, and the house used to lock Xue Li was completely burned. In addition to Yuhengju, many courtyards in the mansion were burned. If the servants hadn't arrived in time, Wei Ling would have burned himself to death in the ancestral hall. It rained heavily soon after, and the fire gradually went out, without causing any loss of life.
Xue Li was locked in the piano room. Wei Jie went to handle the affairs and left her here.
The piano room was quiet and cold, and Xue Li immediately spotted the abandoned piano in the corner. There were scratches all over the body of the instrument, and all the strings were broken. Jin Zhen hit Xue Li on the leg with a stone, so that now she walks with a limp and can only sit there and stare at the piano resentfully.
Xue Li was sad enough, so he lay down on the soft couch to rest. Suddenly he couldn't breathe at night. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of dark eyes, and he woke up with a startle.
Wei Jie's five fingers fell on her neck, so hard that her breathing became difficult. She blushed and opened his hand, her tone almost pleading: "Cousin... Wei Jie..."
Tears Hitting the back of his hand, Wei Jie's eyelashes trembled, as if he could not bear it, and his fingers suddenly relaxed.
Xue Li gasped for air, his chest heaving violently. Wei Jie wanted to raise his hand to touch her cheek, but she avoided him in shock and fear. Seeing Wei Jie's eyes becoming colder, Xue Li calmed down his breathing, suppressed his fear and approached him actively, shrank into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Her movements were flattering, and Wei Jie was obviously very pleased with her, as he lowered his head and kissed her intimately.
He closed his eyes and sighed softly.
Sure enough, I still...can't bear to kill him.
Is this considered love? It doesn't seem happy, but adds a lot of troubles.
Xue Li was not as calm as she looked. She was frightened to the point of going crazy by Wei Jie's uncertainty. One moment it seemed as if he was going to take her life, and the next word he was talking to her. She had never seen such an elusive man.
While she raised her head to kiss him in cooperation, she quickly thought about whether she had done something wrong again. But somehow, she remembered Wei Jie's almost threatening words a few days ago. If she couldn't make him feel the joy of love, there would be no need to stay. Perhaps Wei Jie is now bored, or perhaps her desire to escape today has made Wei Jie impatient and has already begun to murder her.
After the kiss, Xue Li tugged on his sleeves, his eyes were filled with water, and his lips seemed to be dyed with a layer of flower juice, making them extremely delicate.
It was undeniable that his body would feel strange due to Xue Li, and the cold kiss gradually became warmer.
Xue Li's soft fingers were held in his palm. His breathing was a little unsteady. His forehead rested on Xue Li's shoulder and it slowly calmed down. After a while, it seemed that it was still not getting better. His lips caressed the side of Xue Li's face and his voice was low.
She said dumbly: "Ms. Li, do you know what to do?"
Wei Jie has been a gentleman for more than 20 years. The love between a man and a woman to produce offspring is a natural principle, but such a despicable behavior is somewhat unspeakable for him.
Rather than do it, he simply pinched Xue Li's fingertips and brought her towards him.
The piano room has always been a place where Wei Jie seeks purity and gets rid of distracting thoughts. He has a predetermined destiny in his life. He wants to live for the Wei family, and it is natural for him to abide by the ethics and restrain his desires. It's just that he never thought that one day, because of Xue Li, the manners and etiquette he had practiced for many years would be defeated in front of lust.
The waiter brought clean water and a handkerchief, and when Wei Jie took her fingers and scrubbed them clean one by one, her mind was still buzzing. Who would have thought that Wei Jie, who had restrained herself and returned to etiquette, could make these sounds when she was emotional, which would make anyone who heard her feel ashamed and angry.
Those gasps and moans lingered in her mind, and until Wei Jie called the waiter as if nothing had happened, she still felt unable to recover.
Wei Jie wiped the water off his hands, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Has Ms. Li done this to Le'an?"
He seemed to be in a happy mood, and his tone also contained a gentle smile. "Don't lie to me."
Xue Li quickly replied: "No."
She then added: "The only person in the world who is so close to me is my cousin."
Wei Jie even asked for the cups she used. Throw it away. If she had anything to do with Liang Yan and dared to touch him, she would probably have her hands chopped off even if she didn't die.
He confessed: "Le'an has left Luoyang for Shangjun."
Xue Li endured the loss, only showing a little helplessness, and said: "I have no fate with the crown prince, and I am satisfied to be able to stay with my cousin."
He smiled, as if He said like a promise: "As long as Mother Li loves me, I will always treat you well."
The night was already dark, Wei Yun sat up suddenly, her thin shirt was soaked with cold sweat, and the cool breeze made her wake up instantly. The movement attracted the maid who was watching the night, and the maid immediately handed over the tea and asked with concern: "Did you have a nightmare, Madam?"
Wei Yun slowed down and said in a low voice: "I dreamed about Ms. Li, and someone bullied her. No matter how I chased her, I couldn't I can’t catch up with her..."
Xue Li has been missing for many days. The maid tried to persuade her many times, so she could only comfort her: "Ms. What's the use?"
Wei Yun couldn't help but sneered coldly when he thought of Liang Yan.
However, after calming down for a moment, another human voice sounded in her mind.
"I seem to have heard the voice of Li Niang today."
The maid was silent and her tone became more helpless: "Miss is dreaming."
Wei Yun was hesitant at first, but after being refuted, he said firmly: "When Yuhengju was on fire, I seemed to I heard Madam Li crying, and I wanted to go see my cousin, but they wouldn't let me in..."
The maid said helplessly: "Madam, please don't say stupid things. Madam Xue has been missing for many days, how could she have anything to do with the eldest son? What does it have to do with it?"
Wei Yun nodded blankly and said: "What you are saying is... cousin, he is not such a person. If he finds Li Niang, he will definitely send her back immediately. The fire must have been too strong and made me faint. Head."
The maid comforted Wei Yun a few more words and waited until she lay down again before leaving.
However, once this idea came up, it was like a wildly growing weed that could not be removed no matter what. Wei Yun could not sleep all night. After getting up early in the morning to wash up, he immediately pulled the maid and said with a serious face: "Follow me to Yuhengju. "

Chapter 48:
Everyone in the mansion knows Wei Yun's respect for Wei Jie. Yuhengju was flooded and burned down. It is understandable for her to take a look as a cousin. In fact, before she reached Yuhengju, she had already begun to regret it.
She has admired Wei Jie since she was a child. He is not only the leader of a famous family, but also the role model she longs for. If she were a man, she would be as famous as him and become the pillar of the Wei family.
The best person in the world is her cousin. She kept saying that she admired him, but in her heart she speculated about his character. If her cousin knew about it, she would probably feel chilled.
Wei Yun's steps became heavier and heavier, and he felt guilty when he reached the gate of Yuhengju. After a heavy rain, the smoke and dust in the air is also washed away. There was a huge fire yesterday, and the servants who put out the fire came and went in a hurry. Maybe she really heard wrong. There is no way a person like my cousin can be compared to a villain like Liang Yan.
Wei Yun stood in front of the courtyard gate of Yuhengju. When the waiter saw her coming, he immediately went to inform Wei Jie.
Wei Jie did not avoid seeing her and invited her in generously.
Wei Jie was handling government affairs in his study. The rebellion of the three kings stirred up the common people, the poor families rose up, and several powerful families suppressed the local rebels. After the court meeting, Wei Jie was about to take over as Shangshu Ling. From now on, he would sit high in the hall and assist Zhao Ji, the mediocre emperor.
Wei Yun couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. If he met the Ming Lord, his cousin would definitely be able to accomplish a lot, so why worry about the chaos of the government while worrying about the war.
Wei Yun handed the book to Wei Jie and asked him for some obscure historical theory.
Wei Jie patiently and carefully told her the meaning, but she was rarely absent-minded. Instead, she seemed to be concentrating, but in fact her eyes wandered, and finally landed on a half-covered collection of supernatural beings.
The Wei family upholds the right path and has a strict family tradition. They do not respect the occult, but teach them to follow the right path.
If you don't talk about strange things, your power will mess up your spirit, how can Wei Jie read such a story about strange things?
Wei Yun didn't look at this either. She had only seen him in Xue Li's bedroom before, and laughed at her for being misled by the rumors of ghosts and gods. Thinking of this, she frowned slightly and looked at Wei Jie without hesitating to speak.
I wanted to ask a question directly, but I stopped inexplicably.
Wei Jie didn't seem to notice anything strange about her. He took out two books and handed them to her, saying: "This one is difficult to understand and has many flaws. You go back and try these two books."
Wei Yun felt guilty. He took it on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "The fire burned Yuhengju yesterday, and it looked very scary." "
It's not serious, it just burned two courtyards, and no one was hurt."
Wei Jie looked at him. She moved away from her gold-sprinkled red dress and said with a smile: "This dress of yours is really unique." The
layered skirt, with a slender beard hanging from the waist, really looked like a pomegranate flower in full bloom.
Wei Yun's face turned red when Wei Jie complimented her on her clothes for the first time. When she left, her steps became much brisker. However, even so, she still did not forget to look at Yuhengju.
Yuhengju is the same as before, and the waiters are as respectful as ever. Even the way they move is so correct that there is no mistake.
However, Wei Yun felt uneasy when he thought of the collection of ghosts and monsters. She couldn't tell whether she expected to see Xue Li here, or whether she hoped that her trace had nothing to do with her cousin. Either way, she would not feel good.
Ever since Xue Li ran away once, Wei Jie was not as tolerant to her as before. The chains on her feet were never untied. A maid came in to help her change her clothes and wash herself. If she wanted to make things easier, the maid would bring her a bucket.
Wei Jie didn't think she had polluted the elegant piano room, so naturally she wouldn't think of herself as lowly.
No one talked to her, and as long as Wei Jie didn't give orders, she couldn't even see the light of day.
Xue Li's resentment did not make her depressed. She would let herself feel depressed for a moment, but she could not accept her fate. Whatever Wei Jie wanted, she would give him.
No one would want to trample her under their feet. Sooner or later, she would make Wei Jie regret treating her like this today...
Xue Li wanted to find a chance to leave for herself. Even if she escaped once, when Wei Jie wanted to let her go When she left, she still chose to return to him. He always had to be a little softer and would not leave her alone.
However, after several days, Wei Jie never showed up. The waiter would leave after delivering the things and would never say another word to her. In order to prevent Xue Li from setting fire to death, there was not even an oil lamp in the house, so Xue Li spent most of his time in darkness. In just a short period of time, she felt that she was going crazy and wanted to smash all the pianos in his house.
For some reason, there seemed to be feathers rubbing in her heart repeatedly. She was thinking about Wei Jie all the time, but she never saw him coming, so she became anxious and could only walk back and forth in the room uneasily.
Day and night alternated, and she couldn't count the day. She woke up in a haze, forgetting whether it was early morning or evening, but she immediately smelled the cold and alluring fragrance, as if a rope was holding her tightly, and her restless mind was also Soothed at the moment, she couldn't help but lean towards the source of the scent.
"Cousin."
Seeing that Xue Li was about to roll over, Wei Jie stepped forward to support her body and let her fall into his arms.
"Cousin, are you annoyed with me? Why did you come to see me today?" Xue Li breathed rapidly, clinging to his shoulders eagerly and burying herself in his arms, her back rising and falling again and again.
Wei Jie heard the resentment in her tone, as well as a bit of joy hidden under fear.
He stroked her back to express comfort, and Xue Li held him tighter, as if afraid that he would suddenly leave. "I know I was wrong. I won't leave. Don't leave me alone. I want you to accompany me and talk to me..."
Xue Li put away his sharp claws and finally showed his soft lips to him. Abdominal and dorsal.
She surrendered to him slightly at a loss, clutching the hem of his clothes tightly and refusing to let go, repeating: "Cousin, don't leave me alone."
When Wei Jie saw Xue Li, he would always think of the essence of the poem. Charms, they are ethereal and agile, can change into different appearances, lure mortal men into the mountains, and then devour them.
And this spirit seduced an evil ghost.
Wei Jie's eyes were dim and unclear. He sighed softly, stroked Xue Li's cheek and said, "I won't ignore you."
Xue Li turned away and coughed twice, then heard Wei Jie say again: "I remember You told me about your unfulfilled wish before. It's your birthday in a few days, and I will give you a gift."
She agreed absently, not taking Wei Jie's words to heart. Wei Jie held her in his arms, and the chains clanked again. She groaned softly in pain, finally attracting his attention.
Wei Jie held her calf in his hand and saw the blood marks on her ankles where the chains had worn them.
"Why don't you say anything?"
Xue Li glared at him aggrievedly, and his eyes immediately began to turn red.
Wei Jie smiled, unchained her, and said, "One more thing. I ordered someone to sew a dress for you. Come and try it."
After Wei Jie summoned, a waiter immediately brought the dress up. .
He seemed to be very interested in dressing her up. He personally untied her clothes and dressed her slowly. While moving his hands, he said softly: "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you."
" Wei Yun seems to be still looking for you. She will come to Yuhengju in a few days to test."
Xue Li was stunned for a moment, and her tone could not help but deepen, "She has admired my cousin for a long time, and she will definitely not harm your reputation for me. ."
The belt of her skirt gradually tightened, and Wei Jie said nonchalantly: "Ms. Li, don't you want to see her?"
"No need," she paused, and then said, "As long as my cousin stays with me, that's enough."

Chapter 49:
Wei Yun ordered people to stay in Yuheng for several days, but nothing unusual was found. Wei Jie also handled government affairs as before and recruited followers for Wei Heng. His words and deeds were the same as before, and he was still as gentle and elegant as jade. The eldest son.
The maid said that she just heard wrongly, and Wei Yun gradually thought that she had lost her mind and no longer took the voice of that day to heart. After she and Wei Li went to Zhou's house for a banquet, they passed by a pastry shop on their way back home and made the driver stop by some strange mistake.
She remembered that Xue Li liked the milk cream from this shop. For a period of time, she could always see Liang Yan's carriage parked here, which made people upset when she saw it.
Thinking of this, Wei Yun's heart sank slightly. She was about to put down the car curtain and leave when she saw a servant of the Wei family walking out. She suddenly stopped and squinted her eyes for a while, then she saw clearly that the person was a big man. She seemed to have met the person in Yuhengju several times.
Wei Jie is not greedy for food. Apart from three meals a day, he rarely eats any snacks. Therefore, when Wei Yun watched Xue Li bring many poor sugar cakes to Yuhengju, he was secretly sarcastic and laughed at Xue Li. Oriole did so much that it was counterproductive.
Wei Yun saw someone who shouldn't be here, and the thoughts she had finally suppressed began to grow wildly again. She stared at the person walking away, and then she heard Wei Li ask: "Mother Yun wants to eat cakes?"
Wei Yun did not Without telling him, she said truthfully: "I just saw Yuhengju's servant."
She thought for a moment, but still expressed her doubts in Wei Li's puzzled eyes. "A few days ago, I seemed to hear Mother Li's voice in Yuhengju."
Wei Li interrupted her immediately without thinking: "It concerns my brother's reputation. Don't make random guesses. I'm afraid Mother Li is calling that person." The husband of the Shen family has been arrested. The scoundrel has not been found yet. What does he have to do with his brother?"
It was because Wei Yun was so confused that he wanted to seek some advice from him, but Wei Li really didn't believe her words and refuted her seriously. She, let her read at home and stop worrying about Xue Li.
Wei Yun agreed bravely, but the suspicion in her heart became deeper and deeper. If she didn't find out what happened, she would definitely have trouble sleeping at night.
Xue Li woke up from a nightmare at night. When she opened her eyes, she saw a dark figure standing beside the couch, as silent as a ghost. She was so frightened that she could not help but feel frightened and almost screamed. However, the lingering fear caused by the nightmare gradually receded. She sat up and put her arms around Wei Jie's waist, complaining: "I was almost scared to death by you."
Wei Jie sounded slightly apologetic. "I didn't mean it."
She asked doubtfully, "Why don't you light the lamp now that you're here?"
"The light will wake you up."
After Wei Jie finished speaking, he heard Xue Li sigh, and then she called the waiter, and soon Soon someone placed a candlestick in the room, finally dispelling the darkness in the room, and her outline gradually appeared in front of him.
When Xue Li looked at Wei Jie again, he discovered that there was a long bloodstain on his forehead all the way to his brow bone, as if he had been scratched by a sharp weapon.
She hurriedly asked: "What's the matter with this injury?"
Wei Jie sat beside her and said gently: "My mother's illness became more and more serious. I went to see her and she scratched her with broken porcelain. There was nothing The serious problem is just some skin trauma. It will be fine in a few days."
Xue Li was stunned for a moment. Thinking of what A Niang said when she warned her, she couldn't help but ask: "Why does the eldest lady treat you like this?"
"My mother is sick. It's not her fault." There was no trace of resentment in Wei Jie's tone.
The eldest lady of the Wei family has been ill for many years. As long as Wei Jie can remember, the eldest lady has always looked at him with an inquiring look. The eldest lady came from a famous family, so it was not surprising that she was picky about her legitimate son. Wei Jie did his best in everything, but he still couldn't make her look away from her cold eyes.
Soon after, Wei Heng had an argument with his mother, and she took out a sword to kill Wei Jie, but was finally imprisoned.
"Cousin, don't you feel resentful in your heart?" Xue Li was aggrieved on his behalf. "Madam is your mother, how can I treat you like this? What's more, you were born beautiful. What should you do if you have scars? There is no mother in the world who doesn't love her children."
Wei Jie couldn't help but feel funny and said: "Life is alive. No one will love another person for granted. Parents' love for their children is related to interests and morality. If she doesn't love me, it must be that I am not worth her efforts."
He smiled and said, "You know best , I'm not a good person."
"I think my cousin is very worthy."
Xue Li whispered: "Actually, my mother-in-law doesn't like me very much, and we have the same problem. I am very comfortable in front of my cousin, and others If you know my character, I'm afraid it's too late to cast aside me. I don't care whether my cousin is a good person or not. Outside you are a beautiful Wei Lanzhang, but in my heart you are just my cousin."
After she finished speaking, , looking at him expectantly.
They know each other's appearance best. No matter how bad he is, there is always one person who will not abandon him.
Wei Jie came close to her, and whispered with his lips touching: "Ms. Li, in this case, I am yours alone, and you only want me. Don't abandon me."
Xue Li responded vaguely, pinching her fingernails until she hurt.
Winter came very early this year, and Wei Jie was busy with government affairs, so Xue Li sat next to him to keep warm.
The waiter brought a large bunch of green plums, saying that Wei Yun specially ordered someone to cut them. This year, only this green plum tree bloomed earliest in the garden of the second room, which was considered auspicious. Wei Yun broke off the flower branches before the second lady and ordered someone to send them to Wei Jie.
In the past, she would send any good things to Yuhengju, and even her two brothers couldn't get them, which was not a rare thing.
Xue Li had never seen green plum blossoms before. He looked at the branches for a long time and said, "The Wei family is really a big family. They have all kinds of exotic flowers and plants."
Green calyx plum blossoms are not rare. Wei Jie didn't say anything about the blockbuster movie. He stopped the pen in his hand and asked her: "Do you like it
?
" temperament.
Her hand holding the hairpin paused for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but the strangeness soon disappeared.
"Did you give this flower to me?"
Wei Jie looked at her with a smile. "Here you go."
Xue Li returned to the piano room happily holding the flower in his arms. The door creaked shut and the light in the room dimmed. Only then did she pinch the flower branches one by one. Perhaps it was because she knew Wei Yun couldn't save her, but after pressing a few soft spots, she felt much calmer than she imagined.
She took out the note, then patted the door and said, "I have something to see my cousin. Go and call him."
When Wei Jie came, Xue Li was sitting in front of the desk, with flower branches scattered on the ground. Show him something. "Wei Yun stuffed something in the flower branches."
Wei Jie responded calmly, squatted down and asked softly: "What did she say?"
"She wanted to rescue me, and told me a few times, Send me away while the guards at Yuhengju are lax." Xue Li looked embarrassed and said helplessly: "She also means well, cousin, don't try to embarrass her."
Xue Li added: "She must be just guessing, and may not know that I am there. Yuhengju. If something goes wrong in the future, it will not be a good thing for you or me. If I ignore her, she will give up her doubts soon..." The
current plan is to send her out of the Wei Mansion.

Chapter 50
Xue Li has been imprisoned in Yuhengju for a long time, but no one has found her. Wei Yun was not a threat to Wei Jie. Even if Xue Li wanted him to send him out, he obviously didn't take it to heart.
However, those flower branches gave her some slim hope, indicating that not everyone thought she was dead. There was at least one Wei Yun who was thinking about how to save her. Even when facing her most beloved brother, Wei Yun did not choose to abandon her.
Xue Li trimmed the flower branches and inserted them into the porcelain vase. Occasionally, he looked at them and seemed to get some comfort in his heart.
After getting along with Wei Jie day and night, she gradually discovered many aspects of Wei Jie that were unknown to outsiders. The Wei family's filial piety and loyalty were not as good as the rumors. He always treated Wei Heng with more respect but not much intimacy. Even when Xue Li recalls Xue Ke, she can still see a somewhat tender picture. At least when she was young, she once sat on Xue Ke's shoulders to reach for the flowers on the branches.
Wei Heng raised him to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he was able to shine at a young age. However, there is no perfect person in the world. Although Wei Jie is a proud son of heaven, he treats people and the world more like a bystander and only follows the rules. Etiquette and law make appropriate words and deeds, but do not have one's own joy and anger.
Xue Li became one of the few exceptions for him. When in front of her, he could temporarily forget his identity as Wei family, did not have to control his desires, and learned to show his joy and anger to her. And Xue Li would not be surprised by this, nor would he show disappointment or regret to him. No matter what he looks like, Xue Li will love him wholeheartedly.
The weather was getting colder, and Xue Li was afraid of the cold. He huddled up holding the hand stove at night, and the chains around his ankles were warmed. Wei Jie opened the quilt, and the coolness made her shiver. She was suddenly awakened, and without even opening her eyes, she complained angrily: "What are you going to do again, cousin? He always torments me!"
"Ms. Li, It's already time, don't you want to leave the house?"
Xue Li thought she heard wrongly, and sat up after being in a daze for a while. Wei Jie had already started to put the dress on her body.
She opened her arms and let him dress her. After a moment of silence, she said aggrievedly: "Why do you want to send me out? My cousin doesn't want me anymore?"
Wei Jie made a move and smiled helplessly. "Today is your birthday. I'm taking you out to play, not because I don't want you."
Xue Li felt happy in her heart. After putting on her clothes, she went to wash up. When she finished all this, the sky outside the window was still dark.
She stood in front of the door and hesitated for a while, but did not step out immediately.
"What's wrong?" Wei Jie saw her uneasiness and asked her.
"My cousin takes me out. If outsiders see me, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation." She thought about it for a while, but still said in a low voice: "How about forget it, this is the first birthday that my cousin has spent with me. It's good if we are together. If this causes unnecessary trouble..." "
For you, even if it causes some trouble, it is worth it." Wei Jie spoke in a very serious tone, as if he did not realize what this was. Tired love words.
Xue Li had heard many people say sweet words to her before, but when these words came out of Wei Jie's mouth, they were not only less frivolous, but more solemn, as if they were making a promise to her.
He covered her with a thick cloak and said with a smile: "Ms. Li, let's go."
The moment he stepped out of Yuhengju, Xue Li felt an indescribable excitement, even if the chains on his feet were removed. She still couldn't escape, but at least she could leave Yuhengju. She didn't have to stare at the silent pianos all day long. It seemed that the smell of tung oil on the pianos was seeping into her body. She also became one of Wei Jie's most treasured possessions. one of the.
Seeing the flowers, trees and flowers outside Yuheng Ju again, and even the strange rocks surrounding the walls, gave her a feeling of joy as if she had reunited after a long separation.
It wasn't until she left the Wei Mansion that she realized that in Wei Jie's eyes, her worries might be an unnecessary annoyance. She only saw Wei Jie's talents, but far ignored his power. The head of the Wei family was first Wei Heng, and then Wei Jie. The entire Wei family was full of his eyes, ears and chess pieces. He follows the rules because he wants to, and he doesn't follow the rules simply because he can.
Xue Li took his hand, and the two walked out of the side door together. The guard saluted respectfully and didn't ask any more questions, as if he couldn't see her presence.
The dark nights in winter are always extremely long, and the cold wind is like a knife scratching the face. Half of Xue Li's head was shrunk in the rabbit fur cloak, only the tip of his reddish nose and glass-like eyes were exposed, and he tried hard to suppress the excitement that was about to emerge.
She grabbed Wei Jie's hand and whispered: "Don't walk too fast. If you fall, I won't help you up, and you will be embarrassed." It was
already dawn, and the sky was dark blue. You can see that the moon is still hanging prominently, but there are already many pedestrians on the street.
Wei Jie told her: "I can see clearly and I won't fall."
Xue Li was a little surprised why she didn't take a carriage and had to walk around the streets early in the morning. It was so cold that she could hardly walk and her breath was cold. of. However, the constant shouting and shouting on the street and the chaotic footsteps of pedestrians made her feel happy at this moment. Being locked up in a dark room with no daylight, even daylight became something she couldn't ask for.
In the past, she never thought that one day, something as ordinary as walking on the street would make her burst into tears.
There are already vendors setting up small tables on the road, and steaming white mist is steaming from the stalls. Xue Li approached Wei Jie and said, "When I was in Wujun, I thought the food in the courtyard was unpalatable, so I often ate soup cakes secretly on the street. Later, my uncle caught me and scolded me, saying that I didn't look like a lady. , eating at the same table with common people disgraced Xue's face, and punished me to kneel in the ancestral hall."
This was a past that Jin Qing could not find out, and Wei Jie rarely heard her talk about this on her own initiative. Xue Li's past has nothing to do with Wei Jie. Even to her, he is just a distant and insignificant person who only appears in some rumors and is used to educate his children. However, Liang Yan at that time had already made her miss him. She read and studied painting for Liang Yan and silently did many things to get close to him.
When Wei Jie thought about this, his heart seemed to be squeezed by something, making his breathing gradually heavier. It seemed that poisonous juice was eroding his internal organs, making him feel painful and sore, and he even felt annoyed that he wanted to kill Liang Yan.
He soon realized that this strange and difficult-to-dissolve emotion should be called jealousy.
He was jealous of Liang Yan's importance in Xue Li's heart, and also jealous that he had occupied Xue Li's heart and stayed in her life for so long.
The morning light was fading, and the sky was already turning white. The aroma of mutton soup cakes floated with the white mist. Wei Jie lowered his eyes and looked at the old and stained wooden table on the stall. There were still some oil stains on the table that could not be wiped off. Several people wrapped in dusty cotton clothes ate without any manners. He frowned slightly and didn't say anything bad, but Xue Li had already seen that he was probably a little reluctant.
The aloof Wei Jie, like all people from a distinguished family, would even throw away the cups and cups used by others, and he would not even bother to eat the same food as the common people and use the same bowls and chopsticks that they had used.
She would not expect Wei Jie to sit with her for a while in a condescending manner.
Xue Li pulled him along as if nothing had happened and continued to walk forward with him, talking word by word. No matter how boring what she said, Wei Jie would listen patiently and then respond to her very seriously, without any intention of being perfunctory.
Until he suddenly stopped and stopped in front of a stall selling sweet wine soup.
Wei Jie lowered his head and asked her, "Do you want to eat?"
She was stunned for a moment, then hesitated: "Cousin, you don't have to force me, I..."
"You don't have to force me either."
Wei Jie said warmly, "Le'an will do it with you. I can do the same thing."
After saying that, he straightened his robes and sat down on the creaking bench. He was out of place with this dilapidated and rough stall, like a piece of beautiful jade falling into the sand.
Seeing this, Xue Li's face froze, and she nodded slowly, then walked over alone and whispered a few instructions to the store owner. Then before she finished her instructions, the store owner said in surprise: "I haven't seen Mrs. Xue for a long time, why can't I see you today?" That young man?"
His loud voice reached Wei Jie's ears clearly.
Xue Li took a deep breath, turned around and sat next to Wei Jie, not even daring to raise his head.
