Xue Tingliu wiped the blood off his shoulder. Although he dodged in time, he was still accidentally injured by the sword.
Facing the person who suddenly appeared, his face was gloomy and somewhat scary: "Xue Zhiyi, you are so bold, you dare to hide someone in your home?"
Yan Gui had his face covered, leaving only his eyes exposed. He remained silent, holding a sword and looking warily at Xue Tingliu.
Xue Zhiyi stood up straight by leaning against the wall, and his consciousness gradually calmed down.
But Xue Tingliu sneered, his face showing disdain: "Who is this to you? Your lover?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Gui straightened his sword-holding hand and was about to take a few steps forward to tell Xue Tingliu to shut up.
Xue Zhiyi suddenly stopped him: "It's okay."
Xue Tingliu's tone was filled with ambiguous anger. "A woman who was betrothed to the prince by His Majesty, yet a man breaks into her home late at night as if it were his own? Xue Zhiyi, do you know you're committing the death of your entire clan?"
"I know. I did it on purpose." Xue Zhiyi said coldly, "Go tell His Majesty that I was having a night out with my lover and that it was immoral. Let His Majesty decide my fate. It will be a bit of a hassle on the road to the underworld. How about that?"
"Who is he?"
It was as if the prey that was about to be caught was suddenly snatched away, and Xue Tingliu felt a nameless anger in his heart.
Xue Zhiyi simply wiped the tears from his cheeks and slightly straightened his messed-up clothes. He said, "What does it have to do with Second Brother? No matter who it is, it doesn't prevent us from being executed together. Besides, you can't beat him, so you don't deserve to know who my lover is."
"shameless."
"You're not much better."
When Xue Tingliu attacked her in her previous life, he didn't even know her life experience. How could he have the nerve to say these things now?
As a civil official, Xue Tingliu was indeed no match for Yan Gui. He looked past Yan Gui and looked at Xue Zhiyi.
He laughed indignantly, "Do you think you've achieved your goal today? You've been exposed. Your two maids are your weak spot. Before I came to find you, I sent someone to the pawnshop overnight!"
Once the two maids that Xue Zhiyi had tried so hard to protect fall into his hands, I believe Xue Zhiyi will not dare to disobey him in the future!
Under Xue Zhiyi's astonished gaze, he looked at the bleeding wound again and turned away.
Seeing him leave, Yangui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He hurriedly asked Xue Zhiyi: "Miss Xue, are you okay?"
Xue Zhiyi felt a little weak in the knees, as if she had just survived a disaster. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. How's the Marquis doing?"
Yan Gui said, "Everything went well, so the Marquis asked me to come and tell Miss Xue so that she wouldn't worry. But when I arrived, I saw someone hurting Miss Xue."
Xue Zhiyi's tense heart finally relaxed, and she slowly sat down: "Fortunately..."
Finally, before leaving the Xue family, she successfully sent Qiuyun and Suyue away.
Next, she can act with confidence.
…
Hongyingzhai.
"Say it again." Xue Tingliu's voice was terribly cold.
He had just bandaged his wound when he heard the news brought by Hu Bai.
Hu Bai's breathing became cautious, his body trembling. "When I arrived at the pawnshop... Qiuyun and Suyue had already been redeemed overnight."
"It was redeemed overnight." Xue Tingliu repeated calmly.
Then he shook his head and laughed helplessly, but the more he laughed, the more crazy it became, until he fell backwards and laughed until tears came out.
Seeing him like this, Hu Bai was so scared that he lost his soul. He felt that it would not be surprising if Xue Tingliu killed him now to vent his anger.
Suddenly, he stopped laughing and overturned everything on the table.
This was the first time he had felt this way, because someone had caused his emotions to completely spiral out of control.
Hu Bai knelt silently until Xue Tingliu had finished venting his anger, then he finally calmed down and asked, "Who bought it?"
Hu Bai quickly said, "I asked the trafficker many times, but he refused to speak. I threatened him with a knife before he finally gave in and said... he was from the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion."
"Marquis of Lin'an?" He half-closed his eyes. "Huo Wuyou?"
He snorted coldly, "So, Xue Zhiyi and Huo Wuyou are hanging out together?"
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "To tamper with Tai Sui's property and plant grass on Prince Gong's head, Huo Wuyou is so audacious! He is courting death."
From this point of view, Xue Zhiyi is not without the ability to kill Lu Yan... Could it be that Huo Wuyou really helped her do this?
So, what was Xue Zhiyi's goal? To get Lu Minchun to switch sides again and help that loser Xue Tingsheng?
No, she and Xue Tingsheng did not have a good relationship, and she would not hope that he would pass the imperial examination.
Xue Tingliu clenched his hands that were tapping the table lightly, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth: It doesn't matter, no matter which side Lu Minchun's heart is on, as long as he joins the game, his plan, Xue Tingliu, will be successful. In this matter, no matter how Xue Zhiyi plans, it will be in vain.
But speaking of it, Prince Sheng had long intended to win over Marquis Lin'an, but he had failed in the past when trying to win over his father, Duke Lin'an.
Now, I wonder if the son of Duke Lin'an will be smart enough to accept Prince Cheng's recruitment, or... be stupid enough to be willing to work for Prince Cheng in order to compete with Prince Gong for a woman.
"Things are really getting more and more interesting."
…
The next day.
Lin'an Marquis Mansion.
When Xue Zhiyi arrived, Huo Wuyou was already sitting in the pavilion.
He seemed to be in a good mood and was leisurely making tea.
Xue Zhiyi sat down in front of him, suppressed the corners of his mouth that were too obvious, and said to the servant beside him: "Bring the person here.
"Tell me, how do you thank me?" Huo Wuyou looked at her with bright eyes.
Xue Zhiyi also smiled comfortably: "This time, the smooth operation is all thanks to the Marquis. It's time to hold a banquet to thank the Marquis."
