Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long. After a while, Xie Wanyun came back. Seeing Qin Su'an, her eyes darkened. She ignored him and let Yuzhui take off her cloak for her. Then she sat down in the main seat in the hall and listened to the reports from the several managers in the mansion.
Qin Su'an sat quietly by the side, and Xie Wanyun didn't even glance at him.
Although he was furious, he had to endure it.
Xie Wanyun's expression was calm, his eyes peaceful and serene. He didn't say much, but every word hit the point. His voice was low and steady, neither hurried nor slow, yet he carried an unquestionable aura.
The stewards stood in the hall, listening to her words with bated breath, not even daring to breathe.
So majestic. This is the style that a lady of a noble family should have. Liu Yun'er's servile and petty manner is really beyond flattery.
What kind of vision did he have? He mistook a pheasant for a phoenix and a beautiful jade for a stone.
Qin Su'an then reflected deeply on himself. What was he trying to achieve by abandoning his position as the head of the family, leaving the old lady and his wife, and moving out with that foolish woman Liu Yun'er?
Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?
After Xie Wanyun had finally finished his arrangements and the other stewards had left, he hesitantly limped over, forcing a smile. Using a flattering tone, he called out, "Wanyun."
But his face was swollen and his eyes were bloodshot. Because he was trying to please her, his smile was a little too forced, and he looked a little hideous.
Xie Wanyun frowned slightly, silently hiding a hint of disgust in his eyes.
His face was calm, and his voice was cold and indifferent, revealing no emotion. He said, "Master, I'm here, but what's the matter?"
Qin Su'an was used to her cold demeanor, so he didn't take it seriously. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Wanyun, you've been working hard these days. I haven't seen you in a long time, and I missed you so much that I came to check on you."
Xie Wanyun glanced at him and said coldly, "Just say what you want to say. I'm tired too and want to go back to my room and rest early."
Qin Su'an swallowed his saliva and apologized carefully.
"Wanyun, you have seen that I am in this condition now. I am afraid that my leg will never be healed." Having said this, he paused deliberately, looking very sad.
What a retribution, Xie Wanyun thought to himself. He simply nodded, "So?"
Qin Su'an felt really bad. Xie Wanyun didn't care at all and didn't even show any sympathy.
After all, he is still her husband. Isn't this woman too heartless?
However, he could only hold back his anger and said, "I'm still working at the Ministry of War. The chores are overwhelming, and my body is beginning to feel strained. My superiors are also unsympathetic. What's even more hateful is my colleagues, who used to be so friendly and acquainted with me, and now that they see me in this state, not only have no one come to my aid, but they're all kicking me when I'm down, eager to see me make a fool of myself."
Qin Su'an originally said this with the intention of acting to gain sympathy, but he didn't expect that the more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and his eyes became red.
Xie Wanyun thought, considering your usual behavior, it’s not surprising at all that they would treat you this way.
He raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Then why did you come to see me? I don't know your colleagues, let alone how they treat you."
Qin Su'an ignored the mocking tone in her voice and quickly said, "Wanyun, don't misunderstand me. I came here just to ask you for a small favor. This favor may not mean much to you, but it can solve a big problem for me."
"Really?" Xie Wanyun sneered in his heart. Maybe he wanted her to ask the old members of the Xie family to look after him, or to ask some elder to smooth things over?
He doesn't even think about it, why?
