Li Qianluan is dead.
Xie Qingyao raised her eyes: "I don't know what she was thinking before she died. Was it guilt towards the Second Prince?"
Xie Linqian said slowly, "It's probably because she was so glorious back then."
Xie Qingyao pursed her lips and said, "We have finally avenged our mother."
Although she killed Li Qianluan, she did not feel happy. After all, Li Qianluan's death could not bring back her mother.
"Go back quickly, it's cold here." Xie Linqian urged.
Xie Qingyao went to find He Zheng.
On the other side, He Zheng finished interrogating Ming Chonglun and asked his subordinates to write a confession to be submitted later.
The dungeon was dark and damp, and the coldness also touched him.
"Madam." Xi Feng suddenly shouted.
He Zheng saw Xie Qingyao suddenly appear here, his eyes darkened, "Why are you here?"
As he said this, he looked at the people on duty outside, his eyes like knives.
The person on duty was trembling, his legs shaking: "..."
That was the Marquis' wife, they couldn't stop her even if they wanted to.
If you make the adult unhappy, the Marquis's wife can still help you speak up, but if you make the Marquis's wife unhappy, you are completely finished.
Xie Qingyao quickly grabbed He Zheng's sleeve and said, "I'm here to see the Marquis."
She looked up and glanced at He Zheng's expression, "Are you done?"
He Zheng pinched her face and said in a deep voice, "Well, the interrogation is over, go back."
Xie Qingyao chuckled and leaned towards He Zheng unconsciously, but He Zheng grabbed her shoulder.
"I'm cold."
Not only is it cold, but it's also stained with blood, which is not good at all.
Xie Qingyao's body stiffened, thinking that she didn't mind this.
He Zheng held Xie Qingyao's small hand with his big hand and said softly, "Let's go."
"hiss--"
"What did you do to Qianluan? Where is Qianluan? I want to see her."
The person in the corner suddenly moved and made a hoarse voice.
Xie Qingyao looked back and almost didn't recognize Ming Chonglun. He was crawling on the ground with messy hair and a pale face.
She said indifferently, "Li Qianluan is dead."
Ming Chonglun looked stunned.
Dead?
Qianluan is dead?
The next moment, Ming Chonglun rushed towards Xie Qingyao out of control: "Did you kill her? I will kill you!"
Before he could get close to Xie Qingyao, He Zheng kicked him away and he hit the wall, feeling as if all his internal organs were displaced.
Ming Chonglun fell heavily to the ground, dizzy and unable to get up for a long time.
He Zheng had a blank expression on his face and said in a stern tone, "Don't worry, I'll send you down to accompany her soon."
What he did was enough to punish him, and not implicating his family was already a mercy.
"Take him away." He Zheng ordered coldly.
The men took Ming Chonglun to another room and locked him up.
Xie Qingyao pulled He Zheng's hand, and He Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Xie Qingyao sighed, "Ming Chonglun is deeply in love with Li Qianluan. Even though he knows how bad she is, he still stands by her and does things for her without hesitation."
He Zheng responded calmly: "Unconditional indulgence is also a form of harm."
It was precisely because of Ming Chonglun's help that Li Qianluan became even more unscrupulous, and instead fell deeper and deeper into trouble, becoming a death warrant.
Hearing this, Xie Qingyao blinked a few times, with some doubt in her tone: "Doesn't the Marquis also indulge me?"
He Zheng led her out of the dungeon, his voice low, "That's different."
Xie Qingyao: "What's the difference?"
Xie Qingyao thought he was going to say that his indulgence had a bottom line.
Little did he know, but he heard He Zheng pause and said, "This Marquis has the confidence to indulge. Even if Yaoyao wants to act recklessly, this Marquis can protect her."
The tone is concise and undeniable.
“…”
He said this, does that mean he will indulge her if she really wants to do something bad?
Xie Qingyao opened her eyes wide, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "That's not good, Lord Marquis, your idea is very dangerous, you can't indulge me in everything."
"What if, what if I accidentally go astray and do something lawless."
Power can easily breed evil.
He Zheng's eyes were slightly disturbed. "When that time comes, I will try to persuade Yaoyao."
"ah?"
"How are you going to persuade me to stop?"
Xie Qingyao leaned slightly towards He Zheng, her eyes full of curiosity.
He Zheng half closed his eyes, hooked her soft hair with his fingers, leaned over and kissed her lips.
"I advise you this way."
The slightly cool and soft touch makes people feel numb and spreads to every part of their body.
Xie Qingyao's cheeks felt slightly hot.
No, my legs are a little weak.
She responded to him softly.
The kiss didn't last long, and He Zheng held her hand even tighter than before.
After returning home, He Zheng changed his clothes, dragged over a chair, and asked Xie Qingyao to sit down and stay with him.
Xie Qingyao murmured, why bother with so much trouble, two chairs are so in the way.
After reading for a while, she couldn't sit still and leaned over to He Zheng.
He Zheng raised the back of his hand to support her face and said calmly, "Are you bored?"
Xie Qingyao whispered: "A little bit."
Therefore, those who can accomplish great things need to be like him, as still as a mountain, handling those boring official duties day after day.
She asked suspiciously, "Won't the Marquis get bored? Won't you find this boring?"
In addition to attending court, he also had to meet all kinds of different people in private.
He Zheng glanced at her calmly, his expression unchanged, "I'm used to it."
This was how he had been living before he met her.
He only has achievements in his eyes, and has no interest in romance or pleasure.
Hearing him so calmly, Xie Qingyao felt even more depressed, and remembered what Xi Feng said about how difficult it was for He Zheng to get to where he is today.
The world only sees his tremendous power, but no one cares about the efforts behind it.
Xie Qingyao opened her arms and hugged He Zheng's arm, "Then I will accompany you to get used to it."
He Zheng's throat rolled.
He put his arm around Xie Qingyao's waist, hugged her in his arms, and let her sit on his lap.
"Yaoyao is feeling distressed?"
Xie Qingyao gently placed her head against He Zheng's chest and said "hmm".
He Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, "Now that I have Yaoyao, I feel only sweetness, not bitterness."
Xie Qingyao raised her head, her eyelashes trembling, and her mood inexplicably improved.
The corners of her mouth rose involuntarily, and she kissed his jaw, "Does the Marquis want more sweetness?"
He Zheng's eyebrows suddenly jumped, and the big hand around her waist couldn't help but tighten.
My heart feels like it's being brushed by a light feather, making it itchy.
His eyebrows raised slightly, he said nothing, but his eyes were as dark as a pool of ink.
Soon, he answered her with practical actions.
The person in your arms is not only sweet, but also distracts you from your official duties.
For a moment, He Zheng even suspected that Xie Qingyao came here deliberately to torture him.
An annoying little goblin.
“Pah.”
The wolf-hair brush fell to the ground, and the books on the table were thrown into a mess.
He Zheng suddenly pressed her down, his veiny hands resting on the table.
