Xie Xianyu glanced over with a chilling look, and Su Yan touched his nose: "Just pretend I didn't ask."
"Mr. Xie, please look." Eunuch Liu presented the Fuchun wine with a smile.
Xie Xianyu took the pot of wine, opened the lid and sniffed it. It was indeed a sweet aroma, like wine, and it didn't look special.
Seeing that he was satisfied, Eunuch Liu immediately said, "We will have someone send the tribute that Your Excellency has selected to the Xie Mansion."
"Thank you, Eunuch Liu."
Only then did Xie Xianyu leave the palace with Su Yan.
"Have you mentioned marriage to your father?"
"Yes."
"You're really brave. Didn't your father beat you?"
"Prince Jin's case is already under trial. He will be able to figure it out for much longer. He will eventually figure it out." Xie Xianyu looked calm, his eyes filled with determination.
He knew his father too well. The family's well-being was the most important thing, and no one cared more about the family's gains and losses than he did.
Saying that he would be given a few days to think about it was nothing more than giving him a way out. Otherwise, if he was forced to agree directly, where would his reputation as a family member be?
But as long as Prince Jin can't turn things around, it's only a matter of time before the master gives in.
Su Yan clicked his tongue and shook his head: "You're going to turn your family upside down. The eldest son of the Xie family is so angry for his beloved. When he returns to Yanjing City, there will be another good story. I'm looking forward to the excitement."
Xie Xianyu glanced at him and said, "Mind your own business."
Su Yan's reputation as a playboy has long been known far and wide. All the women in the brothels know his name and they all ask him to write lyrics for their songs.
Other officials would hide their affairs with prostitutes for fear of ruining their reputation, but he didn't care. He would openly go to brothels and change the woman around him every once in a while.
But the strange thing is that he has a reputation for being loyal, because he never changes partners and will only move on to the next one after parting ways amicably.
Su Yan waved his fan indifferently: "I come from a humble background and don't have as many rules as you, the children of wealthy families. I don't care about fame or not."
"Once the case of Prince Jin's treason is solved, you will be a meritorious official and it will be time for you to move up. You should be more restrained."
Su Yan has been an official for almost four years. He was able to stay in Beijing to work because he won the third place in the imperial examination. However, he had no family support, so he worked as a clerk in the Ministry of Revenue for four years. This kind of minor official was not very noticeable in Beijing.
But after he was promoted, more people naturally kept an eye on him.
"I understand."
Xie Xianyu returned to his mansion and was taken back to Songhe Garden.
"Young Master." When Cuizhu saw him come back, she hurried forward to pay her respects.
"Is she still asleep?"
"My cousin woke up early, but she just doesn't want to eat," Cuizhu said in embarrassment. "My cousin looks disheartened and depressed. This is not a solution."
Xie Xianyu didn't say anything. He pushed the door open and saw that she was still lying on the bed. When she saw him come in, she turned over and faced inside.
Maybe it was because she hadn't seen the sun for a few days, but her face looked even more pale and lifeless.
He walked to the bed and sat down: "Why don't you eat?"
She doesn't speak.
"Shall I take you out for a walk?"
She remained silent.
His eyes turned colder: "If you insist on being angry with me like this, I won't let you go."
Her expression changed slightly, and she turned to look at him: "When will you let me out?"
"One month at most."
She was a little confused and looked at him suspiciously.
He said calmly, "If you were obedient, ate your meal honestly, and didn't get angry with me."
There was a hint of vigilance in Wanruo's eyes. She didn't know why he suddenly became so talkative.
His attitude over the past two days clearly showed that he wanted to lock her up here for the rest of her life!
"Eat first."
Xie Xianyu called out, "Someone, bring the food."
Cuizhu immediately led the maid to bring in the food, placed it on the table beside the bed, and then quickly left.
Xie Xianyu looked at her, and Wanruo finally chose to believe him, and she could only believe him.
She propped herself up and sat up in bed, and he handed the dishes to her.
She hesitated for a moment, holding her chopsticks, and asked again, "Can it be shorter?"
