Even though Xie Nanzhou could tell that Liu Yin wasn't very close to her father these days, Ye Jing treated Liu Yin very well, so he couldn't say much.
So he could only try to avoid getting close to his father-in-law and Liu Yin. Now that the man had finally left, Xie Nanzhou couldn't help but come over.
"He went to pick up his mother-in-law," Xie Nanzhou added, quickly changing his story even though he hadn't seen her yet.
Judging by the time, Su Jinyu should have received the letter and set off by now. Ye Jing felt uncomfortable staying at the Xie family's house, so he prepared to go and pick up his wife.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yin lowered her brows and replied calmly, "I'm not going out."
"What's wrong?" Xie Nanzhou noticed Liu Yin's gloom at a glance. "Who made you unhappy?"
His first thought was of himself, but he's been very well-behaved lately, and he was fine last night, so it shouldn't be him.
But in the Xie family, who could possibly make Liu Yin unhappy?
"There's nothing wrong with me, I'm just a little dizzy."
Her frail health was her best excuse, and sure enough, as soon as she mentioned it, the man became anxious and tried to carry her back to the room.
But what Liu Yin was thinking about was Ye Jing and Su Jinyu, that couple.
The two were naturally very much in love; otherwise, they wouldn't have doted on their sickly daughter so much.
In this day and age, most men hope to have a son to inherit the family business, especially since Ye Jing founded the Wuchen Palace.
But his only daughter has no talent for martial arts and is sickly, yet Ye Jing is willing to stay by his wife and daughter's side. Isn't that also a kind of love?
Even the deepest love can become tiring.
Ye Jing was usually busy with the affairs of Wuchen Palace, and he would also go out to find medicine for his daughter from time to time, sometimes leaving for two or three months at a time.
Compared to him, Su Jinyu, as a mother, naturally had more opportunities to spend time with her daughter. Seeing her daughter who needed to take medicine from time to time, she also felt a sense of guilt.
In the month following Ye Ying's death, Su Jinyu, who had raised her for many years, cried bitterly. But everything changed after Liu Huizhou rescued Ning Shuyue.
When Ning Shuyue was first brought back by Liu Huizhou, she was seriously injured. Her fragile appearance almost made Su Jinyu think that she was her daughter.
After all, this was someone brought back by a disciple she always valued, and also a victim of that incident, so Su Jinyu couldn't help but pay more attention to them.
Ning Shuyue also has a tragic background. She is an orphan without parents. After being picked up by her master, she has always stayed by his side.
She was alone until her master died, and then she met Liu Huizhou.
Subsequently, Su Jinyu gained a healthy, lively, and cheerful "daughter." She was the first to accept Ning Shuyue, and even Ye Jing's attempts to stop her were futile.
To be honest, he didn't want his wife to keep crying like that.
As for his daughter's revenge, he would not let that man get away with it.
Perhaps from the very beginning, Ye Jing did indeed have some intention of using Liu Huizhou. After all, he knew Liu Huizhou's background and naturally understood why the Xie family wanted to attack him.
But it was too late now; even if he regretted letting Liu Huizhou go, it was useless.
Xie Nanzhou's life was protected by those elders, but as far as he knew, Xie Nanzhou had a bad temper, and there were people in the clan who wanted to remove him from office.
The Xie family of Yuncheng has been passed down for so many years, and what they value most is the inheritance of their bloodline. The only direct descendant is Xie Nanzhou, and as for the collateral branches, no one has emerged who can rival Xie Nanzhou.
The first person Ye Jing thought of was Liu Huizhou.
But he had no idea that Ye Ying would rather he not avenge her than accept Ning Shuyue as her daughter.
