There was a hint of pleading in her eyes: "Please let me go. I will never have any other thoughts again. I will stay in Yanjing City peacefully for the rest of my life and never go anywhere else."

No matter how bad Yanjing City is, it is better than being locked in this dark dormitory. Besides, Ajin and Suyue think she has left Beijing and will come looking for her in a few days. If they can't find her then, they will definitely collapse.

"How many times have you said this? How many times have I believed you?" Xie Xianyu stared at her, his eyes cold. "When have you never lied to me?"

Wanruo's face was slightly stiff.

He pinched her chin and stroked her face with his hand. The slightly cool palm made her shudder all over. She subconsciously wanted to step back, but she pinched her neck and she couldn't avoid it.

He pressed the back of her neck with one hand, gently rubbing the tender flesh of her neck with his fingertips. He bent down and approached her, his dark eyes like a bottomless abyss, pulling her down.

"Wanwan, you should be punished for doing something wrong. I used to indulge you, but you became even more reckless. Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"

Wanruo's pupils trembled, and she pursed her lips tightly, unable to speak.

"You'll stay here from now on, and don't even think about going anywhere else."

He said this coldly, then let go of her hand and turned away.

Wanruo slumped on the bed, her face pale.

Xie Xianyu walked out of the room and ordered in a cold voice, "Keep an eye on her."

"yes."

Qing'an caught up with Xie Xianyu and couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you tell your cousin that you want to marry her? Maybe she'll be touched if you tell her."

Qing'an really didn't understand why his daughter went through so much trouble and even dared to challenge the eldest master, causing chaos in the family just to marry her.

It would be a waste of effort if I didn't reveal a single word to my cousin!

Xie Xianyu said coldly, "I want her to be touched."

Qing'an thought to himself: Don't you want it?

Qing'an smiled awkwardly: "That's right, but I saw that my cousin was not in good condition, and I was afraid that she would be frightened..."

Xie Xianyu glanced at him coldly: "You do care about her."

Qing'an was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and hurriedly denied: "I wouldn't dare! I was the one who spoke too much!"

He is just nosy!

He was just worried that the head would really scare people, and wasn't it this gentleman who felt distressed?!

Xie Xianyu snorted coldly, feeling very annoyed.

He should teach her a lesson. It's unthinkable that when she is deliberately trying to escape, he still rushes to fight for her position as his wife?

I'm afraid it will make her even more arrogant!

Xie Xianyu left the palace and rushed to the Qin Palace. The emperor was still waiting for the details of the review of the case of Prince Jin.

As I walked out of the hall, I ran into an acquaintance.

"Thank you, sir." Li Jingzhao had changed into a black robe embroidered with gold thread, which made him look a little more noble, but there was still a circle of gauze wrapped around his neck, which made him look a little disheveled.

Xie Xianyu gave him a cold look and asked, "What can I do for you, Prince?"

Li Jingzhao smiled and said, "I have always heard of Master Xie's great name. It's a rare opportunity to meet you today, so I just wanted to chat with you."

"I have something important to do. Let's do it another day." Xie Xianyu said coldly and was about to leave.

Li Jingzhao called him again: "That white girl..."

Xie Xianyu paused.

Li Jingzhao finally spoke: "I heard that Miss Bai was taken away by Master Xie. She is an orphan with no one to rely on. She was forced to hold me hostage. I am also worried. I hope Master Xie can show mercy and let her go."
