Chapter 496 Strengthening Vigilance
Hearing this, Shen Wan subconsciously looked at Xie Mubai.
The poor villain is nearly thirty years old and still unmarried. To his surprise, his biological father found a stepmother for his eldest son!
Will he agree?
I don’t think so.
But Helian Bijun is too pitiful.
If you can't get what you want, it would be a pity.
"Are you going to marry Helian Bijun?" Xie Mubai raised his eyelids, his voice cold without a trace of warmth.
Obviously, Xie Lian didn't expect him to ask so directly.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
Before coming, Xie Lian thought for a long time, but was reluctant to step out of the room.
But after seeing the tear marks on Helian Bijun's face, he finally mustered up the courage to talk about it.
In fact, his feelings towards Helian Bijun are extremely complicated.
Maybe it's love, maybe it's touching, or maybe it's sympathy.
But no matter which one, he decided to be with her and give her an explanation.
Xie Lian pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Now that it's decided, you can handle it yourself." Xie Mubai said with a gloomy face.
Before he finished speaking, he turned away, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering in the sultry air.
Looking at his son's resolute back as he left, Xie Lian couldn't help but feel upset.
In fact, he knew before he came that this relationship would not be blessed by anyone.
Not to mention anything else, just because the Wei Dynasty and foreign countries do not intermarry, he cannot be with Helian Bijun.
Fearing that he would be embarrassed, Helian Bijun actually took the initiative to ask for no official status.
That’s the proud Helian Bijun!
As the actual person in charge of the Helian family, she was willing to abandon even her self-respect for him. How could he not be moved?
If he refused again, Xie Lian felt that he was no longer worthy of being a human being.
"Dad, don't think too much." Looking at Xie Lian's slightly red eyes, Shen Wan scratched her head awkwardly, "He has such a temper, he is always very cold."
"You go back first, I'll go talk to him."
Alas, it’s all my fault for being soft-hearted.
In order to help Helian Bijun and Xie Lian, he actually made the villain sad.
"Don't you hate Bijun too? Then why are you helping us?" After hearing this, Xie Lian looked at Shen Wan coldly.
In fact, it’s not just Chen Wan. Apart from Helian Changjun, it seems that no one in the entire Lanyang City likes her anymore.
There's nothing I can do about it, since she's a foreigner.
The hatred accumulated over generations cannot be resolved with just a few words.
Xie Lian is not a fool.
He knew clearly that Helian Bijun's heartfelt words were deliberately let him hear by this little woman.
In front of her future father-in-law, Shen Wan didn’t want to lie.
"It's true that I hate her, but I'm not the one who's going to spend my whole life with her." She nodded and said seriously, "Since Dad has decided to be with her, then treat her well."
"Dad, I'm going to go see the prince first. We can talk later if there's anything else."
Shen Wan bowed and then retreated.
When I returned to the room, I saw Xie Mubai standing in front of the window, looking coldly at the banana trees outside the window.
Shen Wan likes banana trees.
She never mentioned this to anyone.
But when she stayed at the Qin family, the joy in her eyes when she saw the banana tree was deeply imprinted in Xie Mubai's heart.
He secretly vowed that one day, he would plant a large area of banana trees with this little woman.
There were no saplings in Lanyang City, so Xie Mubai ordered the secret guards to move a few from Hezhou.
As long as she opened the window, his little woman could see the lush banana grove.
"Did you bring them together?" Xie Mubai asked coldly without turning around.
Shen Wan’s face turned slightly pale.
Alas, it’s so tiring to deal with these smart people.
As long as there is any movement, it will definitely not be hidden from his eyes.
"I...I just pushed them, that's all." She lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake and whispered, "But if Dad doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do about it."
If the cow doesn't want to drink water, it's useless to force it.
Obviously, Xie Lian still has some feelings for Helian Bijun, otherwise how could they kiss in such a short time?
Xie Mubai's eyes moved slightly, and his white fingers curled up one by one, finally clenching into fists.
“I’m sorry.” Looking at the villain’s clenched fist, Shen Wan was startled and apologized quickly, “I was wrong, you can scold me.”
Yes, she was wrong.
She was moved by Helian Bijun's affection, but ignored the villain's feelings.
"I don't blame you." Xie Mubai slowly closed his eyes and said lightly, "You are doing this for my own good."
As long as Helian Bijun follows Xie Lian, the Helian family will definitely be used by him when he raises an army in the future.
With this power, even if he could not sweep across the Central Plains, he would have enough strength to compete with the dog emperor and his son.
By then, he won't have to worry about anything anymore.
"You really don't blame me?" Shen Wan asked uncertainly.
Xie Lian nodded.
How could he blame her?
From the day of her exile, everything she did was for him.
What's more, she was right.
She just gave it a push.
If Xie Lian doesn't want to, even putting a knife to his neck will be of no use.
"By the way, I met someone on the street today." Shen Wan suddenly remembered this incident and said quickly, "He was dressed like a businessman, but he looked very majestic."
"He looks very noble, like one of the princes and ministers in the imperial court."
"Hurry up and ask Black Hawk to go to the inn and find out who this guy is."
Upon hearing this, Xie Mubai's expression suddenly changed.
"You said he looks like a prince or a minister?" He turned around in vain, his eyes fixed on Shen Wan's pretty little face.
Shen Wan nodded very confidently.
Although they had only met once, she had a vague feeling that the man's identity was definitely extraordinary, and he might even be higher than the Marquis of Xiangyang.
Upon hearing this, Xie Mubai immediately summoned Black Hawk.
It would be fine if the Marquis of Xiangyang came, but if the court sent other ministers, I'm afraid there would be unusual movements in Lanyang City.
I have to say that Black Hawk works quickly.
After a while, he hurried back from the post station.
"Master, Young Madam." He handed over a banknote with both hands and said respectfully, "The man and the guards have already left."
"The man left a silver note and told anyone who came looking for it to give it to him."
From the time we met until now, it has only been an hour at most.
In such a short time, the master and servant left in a hurry?
"Where did they go?" Xie Mubai asked calmly.
Black Hawk said, "The innkeeper doesn't know either. The man left the money and left."
Xie Mubai's expression became even uglier when he heard this.
"Pass the order down and secretly strengthen the vigilance." He pondered for a moment, his eyes cold and terrifying. "Notify the people on the mountain to temporarily cease all activities."
"Go back to the main camp and tell 'Boss Gao' about this."
"Just follow what the young lady says, and there's no need to say anything else."
