Being coaxed in a tone like coaxing a child, Qingyin was neither angry nor not angry.
Xie Jin said in a muffled voice, "Sister, you are the best."
"You're sure I'll agree to anything, right?" Qingyin pretended to be angry.
Xie Jin tightened his arms around her waist, leaned against her ear, and kissed her gently, "No, I'm begging you, sister."
As he spoke, he slowly moved his mouth downwards from the auricle until he took his mouth on the small, soft earlobe.
A body that is already sensitive.
I let out a groan subconsciously.
Both of them were shocked.
At this time, Yi Mansion.
This was the third time the housekeeper came back breathlessly saying that the person had not arrived yet.
No matter how hard Yi Yuanzhou tried to keep calm, a hint of annoyance appeared on his face. But when he thought of the person he was waiting for, he sighed deeply in his heart.
Mrs. Lu just lowered her eyes and looked at a row of ants moving around on the ground.
Seeing her like this, Gu Yuanzhou gently clasped her hand and held it in his.
Feeling the warmth in his hand, Madam Lu smiled softly at him, "Things have come to this. I was wrong back then. No matter what happens today, I deserve it."
As the local official of Nantang, Yi Yuanzhou understood better than anyone that if one did something wrong, one should be punished.
But...Alas!
He had no choice but to hold Lu's hand even tighter.
The two people that Yi Yuanzhou and his wife were waiting for were late.
Before getting off the carriage, Qingyin couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, "It's all your fault!"
This man wanted to bring her to Yi Mansion today without telling her in advance.
He was already running out of time, and he also...
Xie Jin nodded quickly, "Yes, it's all my fault, sister, just smile. Forget it, do they deserve to see you smile? Sister, just leave it as it is."
The butler, who had been waiting at the door to greet them, hurried over and bowed, "Is that Master Xie in there?"
Qingyin glared at him again, signaling him to hurry down.
Xie Jin casually adjusted his clothes. The colorful embroidered clouds and geese on his crimson official uniform seemed to flow smoothly as he moved.
Xie Jin stepped on the mahjong stool and got off the car first, and Qingyin followed closely behind. Seeing Xie Jin reaching out his hand to help her, Qingyin decided to put her hand on his.
After the two got off the carriage, Yi Yuanzhou, who heard the news, hurried out with Lu to pick them up.
The moment Mrs. Lu saw Qingyin, she was stunned.
She knew Qingyin was extremely beautiful, but her beauty before was as gentle as the wind, smooth and silent.
And now, she is wearing a light purple peony fairy dress that drags on the ground, which perfectly outlines the curves of the woman's body. The light purple color makes her snow-white skin look more translucent, as delicate as cream, and as delicate as a baby's.
It is undeniable that as a woman, I cannot help but be impressed by such a beauty.
His gaze moved down to where the two of them met.
Although it is just an action of helping someone get off the carriage, one can see from this simple action that the person who helps someone get off the carriage is cautious and caring.
A premonition arose in Lu's heart.
Today, there is indeed no peace.
"My Lord Prefect, I am sorry for not coming in to welcome you. Please come in." Yi Yuanzhou greeted him with a smile.
Ever since Xie Jin became the top scorer in the imperial examination, he had sent people to inquire about him.
I heard that this man was favored by Prime Minister Xia, and that Prime Minister Xia intended to make him his son-in-law.
He was actually relieved at that time, thinking that this person was far away in the capital and would not worry about that matter anymore.
After all, Qing was just a sister who had done him some favors and was not related to him by blood.
What's more, Qing was fine in the end.
There's no need to make a big fuss about this.
But unexpectedly, this man not only overthrew Prime Minister Xia, but he could have stayed in the capital and enjoyed more glory.
However, he volunteered to be appointed as a prefect in the provincial capital.
Moreover, the Nantang Town under his jurisdiction is truly under his control.
People often say that a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official, and Xie Jin is three ranks higher than him.
And this person has bad intentions.
Several people entered the hall. Xie Jin sat in the seat of honor, and Qingyin was arranged by him to sit in the seat closest to him.
The maid waiting nearby hurried forward to pour tea. She had heard early in the morning that the prefect would be coming, and she thought that the prefect should be older than the county magistrate. She didn't expect him to be so young and so handsome.
She subconsciously slowed down a step, but unexpectedly met a pair of black eyes as cold as frost. She quickly suppressed the panic in her heart, lowered her eyes, and dared not look again.
Naturally, no one noticed this episode.
After the tea was poured, the servants left.
With a plop, Yi Yuanzhou knelt down and saluted. "Sir, I know that I was unfair in the past and protected my wife. I am willing to take full responsibility for this matter. I hope..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Madam Lu's voice, "Sir, this was done by me, your wife. It has nothing to do with your husband. I am willing to bear the consequences of my actions."
Xie Jin took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "When I won the first place in the imperial examination, Lord Yi hosted a banquet in my honor. I'm just here today to thank you for your kindness." At this point, Xie Jin suddenly looked at Qingyin and said, "Sister, don't you think they're surprised? They've already started apologizing before I've even said a word."
Qingyin also picked up the teacup and took a sip. "If you don't know, then it's even more impossible for me to know."
Xie Jin nodded and said, "Sister, the tea at the county magistrate's house is delicious. Try it."
As they sipped their tea, they completely forgot about the two people kneeling in the hall.
Yi Yuanzhou and his wife have lived a life of luxury for so many years that they can be said to be local emperors in Nantang. No one has ever kneeled to them.
In just a short while, Yi Yuanzhou's body was already shaky.
Mrs. Lu was not in a much better condition. Even in the spring weather, cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
My legs were already numb.
Xie Jin pretended not to see it.
It was just kneeling for a while. That day, when the vicious Lu ordered people to throw Ayin into the lake, it was even worse than this.
Qingyin knew that Xie Jin wanted to vent her anger, so she pretended not to see anything.
After an incense stick of time, both of them had finished their tea.
Xie Jin suddenly realized what was happening. "Master Yi, why is he still kneeling? Look at me. It's all because of this delicious tea. I actually forgot about it. Master Yi, you won't blame me, will you?"
"No, I dare not. It's my fault." Yi Yuanzhou kowtowed quickly.
At the same time, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
An Rou had warned him before that Xie Jin would definitely seek justice for the Qing family.
He thought she was just speaking in anger.
Xie Jin hasn't returned since high school. It's obvious that he only sees the Qing family as a stepping stone.
Moreover, he might even wish to sever all ties with the Qing family forever.
After all, once a person has made it to the top, he would like to completely erase his past as a bug from his memory.
So, he thought Xie Jin was also such a person.
