After saying that.
Xie Muqing felt as if all his strength had been drained away.
That perfect head slowly and helplessly drooped down.
He knew it in his heart.
Given Lin Yan's current opinion of him, if he proposes a divorce, then it's a done deal.
There is absolutely no room for maneuver...
Even though he was reluctant to part with her, he could only close his eyes tightly to hide the pain in them.
Seeing his expression, Lin Yan made sure he wasn't joking before slowly asking:
"Do you really want a divorce?"
Her tone was completely flat.
With his eyes tightly closed, Xie Muqing had no idea what Lin Yan was really thinking.
Because he was worried about her future safety, he even forgot to pretend to be pitiful.
His expression was extremely serious.
"Yes... I'm afraid that things like this won't just stop, they'll escalate. I can't let you all be implicated because of me..."
Lin Yan sighed softly.
I don't know whether to pity him or myself.
They were clearly just cannon fodder, yet the dangers they faced were almost as bad as those faced by the male lead, Xiao Jue.
"You think divorce will work? We're already in the same boat. Even if we divorce now, they won't let me go. The only way now is to have someone protect our family and keep them out of danger. Besides, none of the people they sent have succeeded, so I think they should be wary and won't send anyone again for a while."
Xie Muqing suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes.
My heart is filled with gratitude for surviving such a disaster.
He looked at Lin Yan with disbelief, and his words were unusually halting.
"Wife?! You...you mean we won't get a divorce?!"
Lin Yan glanced at him speechlessly and retorted irritably:
"If you want a divorce, that's not out of the question."
Fearing she might change her mind, Xie Muqing shook her head vigorously.
"No! I don't want a divorce!"
"If you don't want a divorce, then get back to work and get rid of all these people as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir!"
The gloom that had been hanging over Xie Muqing these past few days vanished instantly, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.
They're incredibly energetic and capable when they get to work!
Because only Lin Yan chased after them on horseback.
On the way back, the two could only share one horse.
Xie Muqing sat in the back with Lin Yan in his arms. Although he looked serious and calm on the surface, he was already overjoyed inside!
Yang Jiayi and the others had been waiting at their doorstep. They breathed a heavy sigh of relief when they saw them return.
Upon arriving home, Lin Yan quickly greeted them and then went to treat all the poison on the swords and knives.
After the cleanup was completed, Madam Xie and the others, who were settled in the two side rooms, began to slowly wake up.
Upon hearing that they had woken up, Xie Muqing rushed over.
Madam Xie and the Xie sisters, Xie Fu and Xie Ya, were placed in the west wing, while Pei Ling and her three children were placed in the east wing.
Since it was inconvenient for Xie Muqing to go to the east wing, he went to the west wing and thoughtfully poured warm water for Madam Xie.
"Mom, have some water to soothe your throat."
After drinking the water, Madam Xie felt much better, but her throat was still a little hoarse. She looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings and couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"What happened? How did we get here?"
"Mother, our house was burned down. We're staying at your house for now. You can move back once the house is repaired."
"on fire?!"
Madam Xie sat bolt upright, her eyes filled with intense fear. She suddenly grabbed Xie Muqing's sleeve and said in a shrill, incoherent voice:
"I told you long ago that you shouldn't marry into my family, but you wouldn't listen! Look, ever since you did, our family hasn't had a moment's peace!"
Xie Muqing's brow twitched.
With a cold, handsome face, he shook off Madam Xie's hand and looked at her in disbelief.
"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Mother isn't lying. A few days ago, I met a master. I showed him your birth charts, and he said you would rise from the ashes and have an immeasurable future! But after looking at Miss Lin's birth chart, he was particularly shocked! He said her birth chart clearly indicated an early death, yet she was still alive. Moreover, the master said that her birth chart not only lacked any signs of being a good wife, but also subtly indicated that she would bring misfortune to her husband! He even predicted this fire, which shows that he is definitely not a fraud. It's not that I dislike Miss Lin; I'm worried about you and our family!"
Thinking back to what the master had said that day, Madam Xie still felt a lingering fear.
She is not that foolish person.
If the master hadn't calculated so many things about her past, she certainly wouldn't have believed him so much.
Xie Muqing stared at her incredulously, as if meeting her mother for the first time, and questioned her:
"Mother, when did you become so foolish?"
Seeing that he didn't care at all, Madam Xie became so anxious that her face turned red and her voice unconsciously rose.
"Qing'er! Do you really want to be cursed to death by her before you're willing to believe what the master said?!"
Xie Muqing has always scoffed at the idea that a woman has a "husband-killing" face.
If he could be so easily killed by a woman, then he's really weak!
"If a man can be easily killed by a woman, then our Great Qi Kingdom wouldn't need to train so many soldiers. We could just select women from all over the country with the appearance of being a jinx to their husbands and marry them all off to the enemy country. In less than ten years, all the men in the enemy country would be killed by the women of our Great Qi Kingdom. What would be the point of us shedding blood in war then?! Mother, did Father die young because you killed him?"
Madam Xie never expected this.
The son she raised for eighteen years would actually say that his own mother was a jinx for a woman!
She was so angry that she almost couldn't catch her breath.
She kept rubbing her chest, which was heaving with anger, her body trembling. Pointing her finger at Xie Muqing, she shouted angrily:
"Qing'er! I think you're trying to drive your mother to her death!"
"I think Mother may have just woken up from a dream and is still not fully awake. You should rest early. I will take my leave now and not disturb you any longer."
Xie Muqing didn't want to discuss the absurd claim of her bringing misfortune to her husband any further.
After leaving those words, he turned and left the room without looking back, heading towards the main house.
...
The next day at 9:00 AM.
Lin Yan opened her eyes, and there was no one beside her.
She got up and went out of the room, saw the sun hanging high in the sky, and knew that she had overslept again.
She's been getting lazier and lazier lately.
Today is the Little New Year.
The village was bustling with activity, as Lin Muyan had returned from his wild adventures outside.
Upon seeing Lin Yan get up, he rushed over and presented her with what he was holding as if it were a treasure.
"Big sister, look!"
Lin Yan didn't pay much attention at first, only glancing at it casually. Just as she was about to look away, her gaze was suddenly drawn to what Lin Muyan was holding.
Her heart suddenly surged with excitement!
"Hey bro, where did you get that thing in your hand?!"
