He glanced at her. Yes, this was her. She would be bright and cheerful at the slightest sunshine. If he spoke a little, she would become more and more demanding.
She felt guilty when he looked at her, and muttered, "I'm afraid Ajin will worry..."
He rarely spoke, his eyes concealing a hint of meaning: "Okay, even earlier. If everything goes well, I'll release you next month."
"real?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
This is true. Xie Xianyu never lies, and he disdains to do such fraudulent things.
Wanruo was relieved and finally willing to eat.
"I found some new things in the palace today. I'll have someone bring them to you tomorrow. I've been busy with court affairs these days, so I'm afraid I won't have much time to spend with you."
The case of treason against the Prince of Jin must be convicted as soon as possible, otherwise if it is delayed for too long, it will give others an opportunity to turn the tables.
But when he was busy, he couldn't help but take care of her. She was now full of evil thoughts, and he really didn't feel comfortable leaving her out there to do whatever she wanted. It would be safer to keep her in Songhe Garden.
As for the so-called punishment, he could never stay angry with her for too long. Two days ago, when he saw her so bold as to try to escape again, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
But when he saw her pitiful appearance, he lost his temper.
"Yeah." Wanruo just focused on eating. Does she need him to accompany her?
He probably guessed what she was thinking from her perfunctory tone, and his eyes turned colder: "You have to wait for me to come back every day and change my medicine before going to bed."
Wanruo frowned: "I have to wait for you even if you come back in the middle of the night?"
He came back almost every day in the past two days at midnight. He was so busy yet he still had to bother her.
"What else? Who caused this injury to me?" He said in a bad tone.
Didn't you do it yourself?
Wanruo shut up, not wanting to cause any more trouble: "I know."
He felt much calmer and picked up his chopsticks to eat slowly.
In the next few days, Xie Xianyu really went out early and came back late. He disappeared before dawn and came back at night. Wanruo forced herself to keep her eyelids open every day to wait for him to come back, apply medicine to him, and then go to bed.
He did touch her again, and even when they slept in the same bed, he would just hold her in his arms. Perhaps he also knew how badly the wound hurt.
It is a rare harmony for them to get along like this.
He was always like this. When she was about to collapse, he would loosen his grip and take a step back. Then, when she wisely accepted his "intention", she would enter into a strange and brief period of tranquility.
Half a month later, Prince Jin was completely convicted of treason, his title was stripped off, and he was imprisoned in the Prince Jin's Mansion. All the people in the mansion were ransacked, causing an uproar in the capital.
At the same time, a number of Jin Wang's followers were implicated and imprisoned one after another.
The eldest master finally couldn't sit still anymore and looked for Xie Xianyu again.
"Dear, are you looking for me?" When Xie Xianyu came back from the yamen today, the servant said that the master was anxious to see him.
The master's expression was still very grim: "Where are those two secret letters?"
Xie Xianyu said calmly, "Of course it's in my hands. Do you miss it, dear?"
"Rebellious son! Even if I agree, do you think the elders will agree?! The Xie family is so glorious, how could we marry a merchant girl as our clan consort!"
"Don't worry, dear. Since I'm going to do this, I'll naturally take responsibility for all the consequences. I'll also handle how to explain it to the clan. You just need to think carefully about whether you agree to my conditions or not."
The eldest master's face turned pale. How could he not be afraid when he saw the Prince of Jin's followers falling into trouble one after another these days?
He had no choice.
The master finally closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Whatever you want!"
That day, the news that Xie Xianyu was going to get married spread throughout the Xie Mansion.
"The eldest son is getting married, and I heard it's a merchant girl?"
"really!?"
"How could it not be true? I heard it for real! The eldest son has already instructed his servants to prepare for the wedding, and the bride is none other than the cousin who lives in the mansion!"
"Isn't she dead?"
"Who knows, she is really destined to be..."
The whole house was in an uproar, and there was no way to stop it.
Wanruo was locked up in Songhe Garden and could not even step out. The servants in the garden were very tight-lipped. They did not dare to say a word unless Xie Xianyu gave the order.
Until today, Xie Xianyu came back early, which was a rare occasion, with a look of relief and joy in his eyes.
Wanruo's scalp tingled inexplicably as she watched, and she became alert: "Why are you back so early?"
He walked to the bed and sat down, raising his hand to stroke her hair: "Wanwan, we are getting married."
