Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

"Xie Yan has done a great job in rescuing him, and now he is the commander of the deputy capital in front of the palace! That is a fourth-rank official position!"

"As expected of a person valued by the general, I heard that there were 3 rebels who besieged the imperial city that day. Xie Yan single-handedly took the head of the king of Shu, and sacrificed himself to block the sword for the emperor. The emperor's life is valuable Now, what is a mere official position of the fourth rank?"

No matter in the streets or alleys, or in Pei's mansion, there are many discussions about this matter.

Gu Ning propped his chin, seemingly admiring the gorgeous flowers by the window, but in fact, his ears had already been pricked up, listening to all the whispers of the maids.

Unknowingly, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Chunyu stood aside, secretly laughing.

But the few maids outside changed the subject and mentioned another matter.

"Do you still remember the Miss Xiao who came to visit the eldest princess some time ago? I heard from the maid next to her that Commander Xie had a relationship with that Miss Xiao in the early years!"

"Is this true?"

"I heard it from the maid next to her with my own ears. Besides, today the Xiao family sent a greeting card, saying that they want to visit Commander Xie. If you don't believe me, go and see who it is."

The smile on Gu Ning's lips disappeared in an instant, she put down the tea cup in her hand with a "snap", and stood up angrily.

The little maids who were talking in the yard looked at her guiltyly, and the birds scattered like animals, and there was no one in the blink of an eye.

Chunyu waited on Gu Ning carefully, carefully wiped off all the tea stains on the table for her, and did not forget to persuade her: "If the county lord is curious, you might as well go and have a look."

"I'm not going!" Gu Ning snorted coldly, "I'm meeting old lovers, what am I going to do? Am I going to break up that pair of fateful mandarin ducks?"

"Then Miss Xiao doesn't seem like a kind person. If there was an old relationship, why didn't she stay to thank Commander? The Xiao family is a first-class family in the south of the Yangtze River after all, so it wouldn't be impossible to even do such a small thing. The servant girl was in the dark guard camp back then. When I saw Commander Xie, he was covered in scars, and many old wounds seemed to have been beaten out of life."

"My servant is thinking, this Miss Xiao is probably a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. It's not like you haven't seen it. When she came to our house to see Commander Xie that day, she had a look of disgust. If the county master doesn't look , I'm afraid that Commander Xie will be tricked around."

Chunyu persuaded in a low voice, saying that Gu Ning should go there to save Xie Yan from the fire.

After a while, Gu Ning raised his chin and said proudly: "After all, it is someone from our Pei family who went out, and I can't just watch him being bullied."

What's more... Her Luck value became negative as early as last time, and she hasn't got enough Luck points from Xie Yan, how can she let Xie Yan go?

Anyway, it is of great use for her to leave Xie Yan, and she must not just sit and watch Xie Yan being tricked by other women!

Thinking about it, Gu Ning strode out of the courtyard.

At this time in Quyuan, after seeing the appearance of the visitor, Yue Ming and Yue Rong's bodies stiffened, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Why is she here?" Yue Rong pushed Yue Ming vigorously, "If that person finds out, I'm afraid there will be a fuss again! You know that person's temper, and I don't know how long the master will coax you this time. .”

Yue Ming kept a straight face and was upright. Hearing this, he glared at Yue Rong coldly: "Spineless thing! Master is full of pride, how could he humbly coax a woman?"

"Brother, it's this time, and you're still stubborn? Didn't you see it before? The master sent most of the gems in the private treasury to that hand." Yue Rong covered his chest with distress, "That's worth it A lot of silver!"

Yue Ming's face froze, still refusing to admit this fact.

But before he could speak, he looked up and saw a familiar figure.

At this moment, Yue Ming's face was colorful and wonderful.

Yue Rong choked up the words when he reached his mouth, almost subconsciously, he wanted to walk in.

But Chunyu hurriedly stopped at the door.

Gu Ning looked at the two with peachy eyes and a smile: "What? Want to report the news?"

The two bowed their heads guiltily and remained silent.

"Look at them." Gu Ning told Chunyu, clapped his hands and walked in.

Chunyu stood in the middle like a door god, and when it came to martial arts, the two brothers would naturally beat her, but Gu Ning's order came before them, so they had to stand where they were.

Looking at Gu Ning's back, Yue Rong felt a pain in his heart, feeling that another large sum of money had left him.

Because of recuperation, Xie Yan has not yet moved out of the mansion bestowed by the emperor.

While he was recovering from his injuries, the Pei family stopped many people who wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with him.

But Dudu Xiao Ruyan was not turned away, and was able to openly come to Quyuan to visit Xie Yan.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning widened his beautiful eyes, and looked at the two people in the room over and over again like a searchlight.

Xiao Ruyan was not as excited as she was when she met Xie Yan before, she sat dignifiedly on a chair in the house, holding a long spoon in her hand, and gently stirred in the medicine bowl.

As expected of the prostitute who was taught by the Xiao family in Jiangnan, the long spoon and the bowl never touched each other, and the whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Yan Lang." Xiao Ruyan called softly, and sat on the edge of the couch, only a fist away from Xie Yan.

She is wearing a flying fairy bun, the makeup on her face is docile, and the clothes are also from the most exquisite embroidery workshop in the south of the Yangtze River, revealing delicacy everywhere.

At this time, she looked at Xie Yan with affection in her eyes: "What happened back then was never my original intention."

She seemed to have forgotten the last conversation with Xie Yan, and tried her best to put on a gentle posture, so that Xie Yan could recall the time back then.

There was no other expression on Xie Yan's handsome face, and the phoenix eyes glanced at her coldly: "Miss Xiao, you should be more sensible and don't pester me here."

Such ruthless words only made Xiao Ruyan's eyes turn red, but did not make her shrink back.

"I know it's all your angry words." Xiao Ruyan moved closer, trying to pinch his sleeve.

But Xie Yan remembered something, his face became colder, he raised his hand and pushed her away.

"Miss Xiao, even though I have the power to save you, I am only a fourth-rank petty official. I am afraid that your Xiao family will look down on me. Why should you wrong yourself?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ruyan bit her lower lip, her eyes were full of melancholy.

Before it was changed, the Xiao family must have looked down on them, but now it is different from the past, the Xiao family has long since lost its former prosperity.

This time she went to the capital with her grandmother. Apart from celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday, she also wanted to find a good marriage in the capital to help the Xiao family stabilize their position.

And the grandmother had already arranged a marriage for her, it was Wei Yuan Hou's successor, Wei Yuan Hou was over fifty, old enough to be her grandfather, how could she be willing to marry such an old man?

But the other men were either ugly or old, so she couldn't help but fall on Xie Yan who was plotted by her back then.

Xie Yan is only at the fourth rank now, but with his merits of saving his family and the emperor's appreciation for him, he will never just stay at this position.

Xiao Ruyan clearly understood the ability of this man in front of him. Back then, he was kicked out of the house by the Xiao family and came to Pei's house alone, but now he was able to enter the emperor's eyes and rise to the top. Such a man is worthy of her!It is worth entrusting her for life!

"I am happy with you." After Xiao Ruyan finished speaking, she lowered her head with blushing cheeks.

The room was silent for a long time, until Xiao Ruyan's heart beat like thunder.

After a long while, the man's deep laughter rang in her ears: "Miss Xiao, if I were me back then, I might still be deceived by you."

"Now you, every move is extremely clumsy in my eyes."

There was only that one person, who clearly had a noble status, but cared for him when his status was low, and even sacrificed his life to save him.

Apart from her, he couldn't hold anyone else in his heart.

Xie Yan's voice was flat, but he didn't show Xiao Ruyan any affection.

In an instant, the blood on Xiao Ruyan's face faded away.

There was tenderness in his eyes, but it wasn't for her.

She wanted to take advantage of the thank-you banquet, but she had never forgotten the thank-you banquet over the years, and she would even miss the thank-you banquet every time she felt sad.

Because of this, she could still remember Xie Yan's demeanor when he was protecting her back then.

But compared to the tenderness in Xie Yan's eyes now, it's like a child's joke.

"You have a sweetheart!" Xiao Ruyan tremblingly said, "When did it happen? How can you have a sweetheart? Is that person more noble than me?"

She judges others by herself, and anyone who can appreciate Xie Yan must not be a lady from a famous family, just a maid from Pei's residence, or a poor family girl.

Hearing this, Xie Yan's thin lips curled into a sneering arc: "Not everyone in this world is like Miss Xiao."

It is human nature to dislike the poor and love the rich, but Xiao Ruyan was ruthless back then, depriving him of his only way out. If the Pei family hadn't rescued him, he would have died of hunger and cold, how could he be where he is today?

The sarcasm in Xie Yan's eyes hurt Xiao Ruyan deeply.

She stood up suddenly, lost her dignity and elegance, and stared at Xie Yan viciously: "You will regret it!"

After finishing speaking, she threw down the medicine bowl, and seeing the broken porcelain splashed all over the floor, her eyes burst into anger, and she sneered, "I'd like to see if your sweetheart can compete with me!"

Xiao Ruyan strode away, but still did not give up the idea of ​​marrying Xie Yan.

There was only a strong smell of medicine in the room, Xie Yan lowered her phoenix eyes and said with a light smile, "Has the county master seen enough?"

The next moment, a person poked his head out from the window.

Gu Ning looked at Xie Yan's smiling gaze, and moved his eyes uncomfortably: "I'm afraid you will be deceived by her."

"I know." Xie Yan nodded solemnly, "The county lord is all for my own good."

His eyes were too deep, Gu Ning only felt that the blood was surging, and he stepped back a few steps with a blushing face.

"She spilled all your medicine, I'll ask Chunyu to boil another bowl of medicine for you."

But before she turned around, the man's tall body stood behind her and hugged her forcefully into his arms.

"Stay with me for a while." Xie Yan's warm breath fell on the skin behind her ear, stirring up a small particle.
