But this was the Xie family's business, so how could Xie Wanyun let him take the risk alone? He was just an orphan taken in by the Xie family, and what he had done was enough.
"This marching map is still in Han Cheng's hands, right?" Xie Wanyun asked in a deep voice.
"It should be. But he's taking very strict precautions, so I haven't been able to get any definite information yet." Yan Suizhi finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turning cold, and he said anxiously, "Meimei, leave this matter to me. Promise me, you won't take any risks!"
Xie Wanyun nodded, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
Yan Suizhi, thank you for everything you've done for the Xie family. Also, you raised Jin Bai, and I will always remember this kindness.
Thinking of Jin Bai, she suddenly felt that perhaps Yan Suizhi was grateful for the kindness the Xie family had shown him, which was why he was so worried when she gave birth, and why he went to wait outside the Marquis' Mansion, picked up the abandoned Jin Bai, and took good care of her, raising her to adulthood.
All of this was due to a favor. So, maybe the person that night wasn't really him.
A faint sense of disappointment arose in Xie Wanyun's heart.
She picked up the cold tea in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.
"Yan Suizhi, thank you for telling me this. If you have any news in the future, please let me know in time. I am grateful for your kindness. I will take my leave now."
A drop of water still clung to the corner of her lip, gleaming in the light. Her face was almost transparently pale, but her eyes shone with a dazzling beauty that was too beautiful to look directly at.
Yan Sui needed to mobilize all his willpower to control himself from touching her.
He told himself over and over again that now was not the time.
He sat there quietly, watching her back disappear at the end of the stairs.
His eyes were full of reluctance and pity.
Xie Wanyun left Lan Yixuan. The sun was shining brightly and she couldn't help but raise her arms to block the glaring sunlight.
Her phoenix eyes were filled with frost and the corners of her lips were firm.
I will definitely get the marching map!
As for Qin Su'an, he had been a bit mentally unstable since the shock he received from Xie Wanyun that day. He often muttered to himself in a daze, and when he talked enough, he would cry, and when he cried enough, he would laugh again.
Wei saw it all and felt the pain in her heart. She had originally thought that if she took good care of the child for a few days, the condition would get better, but it was getting worse and worse.
So they had no choice but to invite a doctor to their home for treatment. The doctor said that the Marquis was suffering from a nervous breakdown and prescribed a tranquilizing decoction. Qin Su'an drank a lot of it, but apart from sleeping longer each day, his condition did not improve much.
Later, whenever they saw doctors coming, they would curse them for trying to steal their money and kill them, until no one was willing to come anymore.
Mrs. Wei and Old Madam Qin were helpless and could only wipe away their tears.
On this day, Wei Mingyue, who had not visited the house for a long time, suddenly came. Mrs. Wei was angry when she saw her and did not want to pay any attention to her, but then she thought that since the family was in such a bad state, it was a good thing that someone was willing to visit the house.
Wei Mingyue couldn't help but feel disgusted when she saw Qin Su'an's sullen look. She wondered what she had done wrong back then to have ever been attracted to him.
Fortunately, I didn't marry him! Otherwise, I would have no place to cry now.
Wei Mingyue pulled Wei into the inner room and said, "Aunt, now that my cousin is like this, what are your plans?"
Wei frowned, "What else can we do? We'll just take it one day at a time."
Wei Mingyue's face was full of disapproval. She said, "This can't go on. Doesn't my cousin-in-law care?"
"She? Su An is in this state now because of her! She is probably drinking and celebrating at home right now!" Wei said resentfully.
Wei Mingyue's eyes flashed with cruelty. She had come here today with a purpose. Xie Wanyun had barely assigned her any work these days, and her commission had plummeted. Her monthly income was less than even that of a small clerk.
She wasn't stupid; she naturally understood the problem. She was merely cannon fodder, caught between Xie Wanyun and her aunt. How could she accept this? He wanted to get rid of her after using her, but Wei Mingyue wasn't going to be easily dismissed.
