Chapter 161 The Kiss Grows Stronger
The two were startled by the sudden appearance of the person. Jinluo quickly stepped in front of Li Huiyan and asked, "Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping here?"
Li Huiyan looked at the person in front of her, who was dressed in a pale yellow dress, with a jade pendant around her waist and a pearl headdress. She must be a young lady from the manor.
Xie Min smiled and said, "Sister, please don't misunderstand. I am the third young lady of the family, Xie Min."
"I was resting here when I saw you and my elder brother come over. They seemed to be talking about something important, so I didn't want to disturb them and stayed inside."
"I really didn't mean to eavesdrop."
It turned out that this was Xie Yanzhi's younger sister. She seemed to be a well-behaved and sensible girl, and Li Huiyan no longer had any guard up.
But the more she looked at the smiling girl in front of her, the more uneasy she felt.
If Xie Minru really had no intention of doing anything, she could have waited until they left before coming out, to avoid making things awkward for her.
But she suddenly appeared and blocked her way. What was she trying to do?
Besides, didn't she see all of that bold and shameless behavior she just did?
Thinking about this, Li Huiyan felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it on her face.
He then forced a smile and said, "So it's Miss San. It's alright."
"It was I who disturbed my sister's stroll in the garden."
Xie Min stepped forward again and said, "Sister is truly knowledgeable and reasonable, unlike that Aunt Qing who is vulgar and uncouth, and all she does is pester my elder brother all day long."
She looked at Li Huiyan meaningfully and said, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if you were my sister-in-law?"
Li Huiyan thought to herself that she had lost all face during her visit to the Jingnan Marquis's residence today.
After hearing Xie Yanzhi's heartless words, he no longer had such thoughts.
She also saw clearly that Xie Yanzhi was indeed as rumored, the most untamed man in the capital, someone she could never have even if she begged for him.
She shook her head and smiled, "Third Miss is joking. The young master will definitely find a dignified sister-in-law for you in the future."
Although she had decided to let go, Li Huiyan still felt a pang of bitterness when she said it.
Xie Min, however, was not going to let her off the hook and continued, "It's good that you didn't marry my older brother, sister. Look how he's wronged you. I feel indignant on your behalf."
"It's all Shen Qingnian's fault!"
"Sister, you are so beautiful. If it weren't for you, my elder brother would have fallen for you long ago."
Li Huiyan listened to what he said and figured it out.
Xie Min disliked Shen Qingnian very much.
That's perfect, she doesn't like it either. The humiliation she suffered today was all because of Shen Qingnian.
She couldn't be with Xie Yanzhi, but she didn't want to let Shen Qingnian go.
Seeing a flash of hatred in Li Huiyan's eyes, Xie Min stepped forward and grasped Li Huiyan's hand: "Sister, how about I think of a way to teach her a lesson?"
Why did you help me?
Xie Min covered her face and laughed, "My sister and I hit it off immediately, and besides, we both hate Shen Qingnian."
"I'll think of a way to help my sister get revenge first. If she thinks it's alright, then I also have a favor I'd like to ask her to do for me."
Li Huiyan was somewhat puzzled; this third young lady in front of her was no ordinary person.
She thought for a moment and said:
"I wonder what favor the Third Miss would like me to do?"
Xie Min couldn't help but find it amusing to see her so cautious.
She's not going to eat her! I don't know what she's worried about.
Xie Min leaned close to her ear and said, "Help me make Shen Qingnian disappear."
Li Huiyan was shocked upon hearing this! Xie Min was incredibly audacious. Although she disliked Shen Qingnian, she never intended to take her life.
"Miss, please don't joke around. I don't have the ability to make a living person disappear."
Li Huiyan refused.
Xie Min: "Sister, don't be modest. If we follow my method, someone will take care of it for us."
"Now that someone is helping you, what does your sister need me to do?"
Xie Min smiled and said, "All that's needed is for Miss San to provide a few available staff members on the day of the event."
Manpower? Her general's mansion certainly doesn't lack manpower, but in that case, it's not a difficult matter.
Li Huiyan thought for a moment and nodded to Xie Min: "Then I'll wait for the good news from Miss San."
Xie Min gave her a confident curtsy: "Don't worry, sister."
Li Huiyan nodded slightly, then left the Marquis's residence with Jinluo.
Here, Shen Qingnian and Hongyu had just returned to Yuheng Residence and sat down in the inner room when Xie Yan came in right away.
"Husband?"
"Young Master."
Shen Qingnian thought he and Li Huiyan would talk for a while longer, but she didn't expect him to come back so quickly.
After bowing, Hongyu tactfully left the room.
Xie Yanzhi strode over, picked up Shen Qingnian from the chair, and carried her to the small couch by the window.
"Husband, what are you doing?" Shen Qingnian felt uneasy as Xie Yan carried her to the bed without saying a word.
Xie Yanzhi let Shen Qingnian sit on his lap, picked up a strand of her black hair and said, "If I hadn't come back in time, would you have been punished again?"
Shen Qingnian then wrapped her arms around Xie Yanzhi's neck, her tone tinged with a hint of coquettishness: "Isn't that all your fault? You've been attracting attention everywhere, causing everyone to take their anger out on me, making this innocent woman suffer."
Xie Yanzhi was amused by her charming and innocent appearance, so he lowered his head and kissed her lips gently.
"You are not innocent."
His voice was deep and somewhat ambiguous, and Shen Qingnian knew exactly what Xie Yanzhi wanted to do.
In broad daylight, they were embracing and kissing on the bed like this. It wouldn't be good if Hongyu and the others saw them.
Besides, she didn't like Xie Yanzhi touching her.
She leaned back, trying to distance herself from Xie Yanzhi.
Xie Yanzhi noticed her movement and, before she could react, pressed her hand back and deepened the kiss.
These days, he not only has to deal with the thorny issues in the palace, but also the trivial matters in his household, which makes him feel very frustrated.
Now, holding the person I've been longing for, with her faint fragrance lingering around my nose, the longing and desire in my heart are instantly ignited.
He then realized that he had been a vegetarian for several days.
Thinking of this, he kissed her even more forcefully.
Shen Qingnian was almost breathless from his kisses, her cheeks flushed red, and her body went limp.
Soon, Xie Yanzhi was no longer satisfied with just the kiss. He picked Shen Qingnian up in his arms and turned to head towards the bedroom.
