Because it was so awkward, Lin Yan exchanged a few polite words with everyone after the meal and then went back to the main room.
Finally free from worrying about her knees, Xie Muqing lay comfortably in the bathtub and soaked in the warm water.
It was half an hour later when he came out of the bathroom.
After Lin Yan returned home this time, Ye Lan called Lin Muyan to sleep in the east wing.
The main room was left to the two of them.
By then, Lin Yan had already finished washing up and was lying in bed, half asleep.
Hearing the door open and close, she struggled to open her heavy eyelids.
What came into view was a fair and muscular chest!
Such a sensual scene almost caused Lin Yan to bleed from her nose...
She jumped out of bed with a "whoosh" and stared at the boy who was so close to her!
"Why are you dressed like that? Aren't you cold?"
"The kang (heated brick bed) is heated, the quilt is very warm, and besides, sleeping next to my wife... I'll only feel hot all over, how could I be cold?"
Lin Yan glanced at him, her face scrunched up in confusion.
She's not a hand warmer!
Under her gaze, Xie Muqing secretly smiled and slowly took off her thin inner garment.
Although she has been in a wheelchair, she has received meticulous care over many days.
The slightly thin chest he had when we first met is no longer there.
Now that chest is broad and sexy!
Because it came into contact with cold air.
On that chest, like newly ripened cherries, it seemed to be waiting for someone to pick them...
Lin Yan suddenly felt a warm sensation in her nasal cavity.
Immediately following was two streams of bright red blood gushing out like fountains!
"My wife, why is your nose bleeding!"
The sudden situation shocked Xie Muqing!
For a moment, I forgot how to react.
Upon hearing his suggestion, Lin Yan sluggishly wiped her nose with the back of her hand.
Instead of cleaning it up, they wiped the blood all over their face.
Seeing this, Xie Muqing quickly put on his clothes and went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of water to wash her.
After a while, Lin Yan's nose finally stopped bleeding, and the bloodstains on her face were washed away.
She listlessly lay back down in bed.
He was completely wilted, like an eggplant that had been hit by frost.
Seeing her like this, Xie Muqing gave up his intention to seduce her.
He obediently put on his undergarments and lay down in the quilt beside him.
Lin Yansheng let out a sigh of despair.
Her illustrious reputation!
It's ruined just like that...
The room fell silent for a moment, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Xie Muqing couldn't help but break the silence with her voice:
"Why is my cousin staying at our house? I asked her about it last night, but she wouldn't tell me."
Upon hearing his question, Lin Yan immediately perked up.
“Your mother wants to marry Xie Li to Yuan Xu as a concubine, and she has already accepted his betrothal gifts. They originally wanted to move to town and rent a house, but I had to persuade them a lot before they agreed to stay at our house temporarily.”
"What?!"
Xie Muqing immediately frowned.
He couldn't believe that his mother would do something so incomprehensible.
"Your mother still dotes on you. When you were asked to marry into my family as our first wife, she was heartbroken and couldn't accept it. But now, when it comes to Miss Xie Li, she can easily agree to let her become someone else's concubine."
Xie Muqing understood the sarcasm in Lin Yan's words perfectly.
He bit his lip in embarrassment, then looked at her solemnly and said:
I will talk to her tomorrow.
"Yes, I have to go to my maternal grandparents' house tomorrow and ask my uncle to come and propose marriage as soon as possible so I can bring her home."
After Lin Yan fell asleep, Xie Muqing quietly put on his clothes, left the room, and went to the back room.
Yang Jiayi had just finished washing up and was about to go to bed when he suddenly saw a figure at the door and quickly led the person into the house.
"Congratulations on your full recovery, young master! Miss Lin is truly amazing; she managed to set a crooked bone perfectly! That dog emperor probably never dreamed that you would one day be able to stand up again!"
Upon hearing him mention that person, Xie Muqing exuded a chilling aura.
He even felt a lingering pain in his knees.
"He had calculated everything, believing that even if my family didn't die on the road to exile, they would die here. But he never expected that I would meet my wife, let alone that she would be such a remarkable person."
When Lin Yan was mentioned, Xie Muqing's cold and stern aura vanished instantly.
Her voice was incredibly gentle.
"Madam is truly beautiful inside and out!"
Fortunately, Yang Chia-yi was already used to this and could remain calm.
When he first saw Xie Muqing like this, he was quite taken aback.
He even wondered if his young master was possessed by an evil spirit.
After all, the young master used to be someone who avoided women like the plague.
Who would have thought that one day, the young master would be so gentle and considerate towards a woman?
Suddenly remembering that person in the capital, Yang Jiayi changed the subject and asked with some concern:
"Young master, shall we leave this place? I'm worried that the emperor might send men..."
Xie Muqing sneered after hearing this, his tone laced with undisguised sarcasm:
"Don't worry, he's too busy taking care of himself right now to bother with us. Besides, I've always been a useless person in his eyes. For the sake of his reputation, he won't easily touch me again. By the way, can you still contact the people my father left behind?"
"Those who followed the general during his lifetime have all been suppressed and scattered in various places since his death by this dog emperor, making it extremely difficult to contact them. A few days ago, I traveled to many places, but I only managed to contact a very small number of them..."
Ever since the Xie family's misfortune, Yang Jiayi has been searching for the former subordinates of General Xie.
However, the result was not satisfactory.
Xie Muqing had long anticipated what he was saying, after all, the emperor's wariness of the Xie family was nothing new.
The saying "when the birds are all gone, the bow is put away; when the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked" is not an uncommon one.
"Are they still willing to continue following the Xie family?"
Yang Jiayi was thrilled to see Xie Muqing finally bring up the matter!
"Rest assured, young master! The general's former subordinates have all been suppressed and deliberately targeted, and they harbor a lot of resentment. If they knew that your legs have fully recovered, they would surely follow you to the death!"
The moon was big and round tonight. Xie Muqing looked up at the full moon and sighed almost inaudibly.
"In that case, we should start making preparations..."
"Yes, young master!"
The next day, after breakfast, Lin Yan was about to go to her grandmother's house when she suddenly heard a knock on the door...
Meanwhile, Yuan Xu, who was far away in the county government office of Huangshi County, suddenly received a letter.
Although the sender did not leave his name and the messenger was a stranger, he could still guess who it was from the contents of the letter.
However, after glancing at the letter, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"Heh, they really can't wait..."
