Chapter 118: Seducing Xuan Qi
Xie Yuyan opened her eyes wide.
She looked at Xie Deyao in disbelief: "Dad, I am your daughter, your biological daughter! How, how could you say such a thing?"
In front of so many Xie family members.
In front of so many people who were laughing at me.
How could he say that about himself?
Seeing Xie Yuyan's big reaction, Xie Deyao secretly thought that something was wrong.
"Yuyan, you are my only daughter, how can I not love you?"
He tried to reason with her: "You still think you are a rich lady. You are a fallen woman. It's good enough for you to find a man who is willing to marry you seriously. Although Xuan Qi is a guard, he is of high status and good-looking. If you can hook up with him, you..."
“That’s enough!”
Xie Yuyan burst into tears.
Xie Deyao said that he felt sorry for her, but he didn't care and used all kinds of bad words to describe her.
In his heart, his own daughter was probably not as good as those prostitutes in brothels.
At least those women had a lot of money.
And she just wanted some cheap food from outside.
The hatred in Xie Yuyan's eyes suddenly increased.
Rather than the Xie family members who were watching the fun, what she hated more at the moment was the person who was stepping her into the mud.
Her biological father.
The overwhelming hatred dyed her eyes red.
Xie Yuyan slowly lowered her head, a sinister smile curled up at the corner of her lips: "Daddy is right, Yuyan has learned a lesson."
As she lowered her head, her hair slid to both sides, revealing her snow-white neck.
Her graceful figure contrasts with her sad and weak temperament. Even though she has not been taken care of for a long time, it is difficult to conceal her pitiful temperament.
The expressions of the people from the second and third branches of the Xie family changed at the same time.
Although Xie Yuyan is not the eldest daughter, she is the legitimate daughter of the Xie family and has always been placed with high hopes.
She was already quite pretty and was also quite proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The eldest daughter of the Xie family was quite famous in the capital, and no one else knew about her affair with the bailiff.
If she lowered herself to seduce a guard, the possibility of failure would be very small.
Seeing that the eldest wife was likely to gain power, Xie Deyi couldn't help but look at his two daughters.
Xie Yuemian and Xie Xingni are not bad looking either.
Xuan Qi is just a guard. What does he know about music, chess, calligraphy and painting? All he needs is a good-looking face.
No matter how you look at it, she is better than Xie Yuyan, a broken woman.

On Lu Wanyin's side, the oil lamps in the yard had already gone out.
Hou Yuanji was taken by Xuan Qi to the capital to deliver a message. When he returned, it was already late at night.
He lay on a thick mattress, covered with a thick quilt, and tears of happiness were almost flowing out.
It was worth it that he secretly bought bedding when he went to the money shop today.
Sleeping on the ground is simply not a human life.
Wait, why did he use "secretly"?
Who is the leader in this team?
Damn Lu Wanyin.
Xuan Qi was dozing by the window. Hearing the sound, he glanced in his direction and asked, "What did you say?"
Hou Yuanji shuddered and quickly forced a smile: "Nothing, I just said it's very cold today. Guard Xuan has been working hard these past few days. I just bought some new bedding. Do you want some?..."
He was just about to be polite and ask if he wanted to squeeze in.
After Xuan Qiyi declined, the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, and the matter that he accidentally let slip was forgotten.
But halfway through the conversation, I felt that it was a bit too ambiguous for two grown men to sleep in the same bed.
If this gets out, will he still have face?
He shut up in time, but Xuan Qi had no intention of revealing the truth and jumped down directly from the stove where he was resting.
Hou Yuanji was terrified and quickly protected his chest with his hands: "You——"
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xuan Qi holding his quilt with one hand and starting to pull the mattress from under him with the other hand.
By the time he reacted, Xuan Qi had already spread the bedding on the stove, lay down comfortably, and started snoring.
It's not that you're sick.
Hou Yuanji looked at the thin blanket left on the ground and felt like crying but had no tears.
He didn't dare to ask Xuan Qi to return it, so he could only lie on the thin blanket feeling aggrieved.
Fold the other side and cover yourself with it as a blanket.
If he hadn't found the floor cold and bought an extra quilt to use as a cushion, he wouldn't even need this.
It was much warmer here on Lu Wanyin's side.
Lu Wanyin took out the stove and added more charcoal into it.
The temperature has dropped significantly in the past few days, with a new temperature every day.
Fortunately, they had cold-resistant clothing, otherwise they would have caught a cold.
Lu Wanyin rubbed her hands and blew a breath. "If it gets any colder, the roads will be a little difficult to walk on. When I went to Ning County during the day, I noticed there weren't any outstanding craftsmen. When we get to Fanzhou, I'll buy you a wheelchair."
It’s not the time to reveal Xie Jingci’s recovery yet.
The last assassination attempt failed, but the Dog Emperor will not give up easily.
At that time, she would inevitably have to take action just in case.
It is not very convenient to hold Xie Jingci all the time.
Seeing that she was still planning for him, Xie Jingci felt warm in his heart and held her hand in his palm: "Please, Madam, please consider this carefully."
He was too close to her, and the smiling look in his eyes made her feel uncomfortable.
Quickly pulling her hand back, Lu Wanyin casually stirred the charcoal fire and changed the subject: "We're leaving tomorrow, do you have anything else you need to buy?"
Looking at his empty palm, Xie Jingci felt a little sad.
But he quickly put on his expression and said, "Calculating the time, the second group of assassins will be here soon. I'm surprised that he has been able to hold back until now."
Lu Wanyin couldn't help but glance at him.
Xie Jingci really thought the same thing as her.
She was just thinking about the second wave of assassins that was late in arriving.
Lu Wanyin became interested: "What are your plans?"
She is not good at this, but Xie Jingci should be good at everything.
Xie Jingci dipped his fingertips in water and simply sketched out some terrain on the table.
He pointed to one of the spots and said, "This is where we are now. Going further ahead, there is a mountain pass, which is the only way to the wilderness."
Xie Jingci has been fighting for many years and has experience in leading troops. No one in the entire Da Sheng can match him.
The terrain of Dasheng is almost entirely in his mind.
He could tell you the pros and cons in detail without even having to think about it.
He pointed to a point where the lines were noticeably tightened. "This is a good place for an ambush. After this, it won't be easy to find such a good position again."
Lu Wanyin blinked.
It seems very powerful.
She propped up her chin and watched Xie Jingci's slightly furrowed brows as he stared at the terrain: "That is to say, the second group of people will definitely take action in this place."
Well, serious men are so handsome.
"That's right."
Xie Jingci's brows relaxed, and he wiped the dirt on the table with his fingertips.
"The further we get, the harder it will be to travel. This weather isn't just affecting us; they can't escape it either."
Lu Wanyin smiled sinisterly: "Then I understand."
