The lake surface was rippling in the breeze, and a few water birds flew across the water quickly.
The sunlight filtered through the willow branches onto her face, casting a hazy yet gorgeous light and shadow. Her eyes were slightly upturned, the corners of her eyes red and wet. Her nose was high and her lips were shimmering.
What Yan Suizhi's eyes fell on was her blushing profile and her translucent red earlobes.
His throat felt a little stiff, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be suppressed and burst out!
"Mingmian..." He leaned towards her and held her shoulders with trembling hands.
Xie Wanyun's heart was beating wildly and his breathing was a little rapid.
The orchid-like and musk-like scent of Yan Suizhi enveloped her. She wanted to push him away, but she was too weak to do so.
"Mingmei, my Mingmei..." Yan Suizhi's eyes were dim, he muttered to himself, and tightened his arms.
Xie Wanyun did not dodge.
The next second, she leaned in Yan Suizhi's arms, raised her moist eyes, and looked at him quietly.
Yan Suizhi held his breath, his fingers trembling slightly, and he stroked her cheek almost devoutly.
Both of them saw each other's shadow in each other's pupils.
The breath is getting closer...
Xie Wanyun's eyelashes trembled slightly, like the flapping of a butterfly's wings.
Yan Suizhi's heart was intoxicated.
"Uncle, mother! Look, what I caught?" Jinbai ran over shouting, holding a bird in his hand.
"ah!"
The child suddenly screamed, threw the bird away, and quickly covered his eyes. "I didn't see anything! Please continue!"
After shouting, he turned around and ran away, laughing.
Xie Wanyun had quickly freed herself from Yan Suizhi's arms, her face flushed red as if it were about to bleed.
What happened to her just now? How could she, how could she do that?! She must have lost her mind!
Yan Suizhi gnashed his teeth in hatred!
That brat Jinbai, did he do this on purpose?! See how I deal with him when I get back!
Regent Han Cheng is responsible for trying the corruption case of the Sixth Prince Li Chengshun.
He also knew that the emperor's reason for entrusting him with this matter was simply because of the Sixth Prince's special status, and the position and prestige of the presiding judge were indispensable.
The officials in the court and the royal family all passed the buck to him, but in the end he was the one who took over this hot potato.
In fact, the matter is very easy to investigate. It mainly depends on the emperor's attitude and the extent of the punishment he is prepared to give to the sixth prince Li Chengshun.
He was quite adept at guessing the emperor's intentions. If the emperor had long been dissatisfied with his son and wanted to punish him severely, he wouldn't have to show any mercy.
Confiscation and exile are all done according to the rules, and it also gives enough face to Yan Suizhi and the chief minister Huang Yanjing behind him.
But he didn't expect Yan Suizhi to suddenly take action against Li Chengshun, and he hadn't heard of any grudge between the two of them!
Han Cheng was lost in thought when the carriage pulled into the mansion. He got off and walked toward the backyard without even looking up.
"Daughter greets father!" A sweet voice suddenly sounded.
Han Cheng looked up and saw that it was his beloved daughter Han Ruyi. The solemn expression on his face couldn't help but relax.
"Ruyi, you look so pretty today, where are you going?"
Han Ruyi was wearing the same deep blue dress embroidered with lily of the valley that Xie Wanyun had given her that day. Her hair was no longer puffed up like usual, but was styled in a flowing bun, elegant and graceful, with only a jade hairpin adorning it. She looked elegant and regal.
Han Cheng rarely saw his daughter looking so dignified and elegant, and his eyes showed approval.
Han Ruyi smiled and said, "Father, I was just about to go take a look at the new summer clothes I ordered. You may not know, but Madam Xie came home a few days ago and gave me a few clothes. Look, this is the one she sent. Isn't it beautiful? So I ordered some summer clothes. Yesterday, she sent a message saying that the fabric has arrived and asked me to take some time to choose the style."
"Which Madam Xie?" Han Cheng frowned.
"Oh, father, you are really ignorant. It's the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, Xie Wanyun! You didn't know that she opened the ancestral hall to divorce her husband some time ago. But you must know about the incident that happened at the hunting ground to rescue the emperor during the spring search, right?" Han Ruyi said angrily.
"When did you become so close to her? We have many needleworkers at home who can make clothes. Why did you bring a stranger into your home?"
Han Cheng's face became increasingly gloomy.
