The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Xue Mingyue was suspicious and paused slightly.

After comforting the kitten, he removed the bell, took it apart, took out the copper pendant inside, and casually opened it with both hands, revealing the note inside.

A faint fragrance emerged.

There were small exclamations from around me.

The familiar smell made Xue Mingyue's forehead twitch slightly. She quickly opened the note and saw a few colorful words written on it - "As a father, I prepared a meeting gift for my child. Do you like it?"

"..."

This note was unsigned, but what was the difference between beating gongs and drums to tell her that the person writing it was Xie Lang?

This cat was raised by her, how could he become the child's father... Oh no, he actually gave her this cat. If you think about it this way, it seems that he can barely get above...

Xue Mingyue's face was complicated, and she crumpled the note into a ball with a snap.

She looked at the maids in the room expressionlessly: "Which of you did this for the Marquis?"

Liu Yun and Liu Xing both shook their heads immediately.

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Lidong, who said: "?"

"Madam, I didn't help the Marquis this time!"

Lidong hurriedly explained: "Since I came to Madam, I rarely listen to the orders of the Marquis. Regardless of the two masters, I still know about this matter! This really has nothing to do with me!"

She doesn't want to become the second Chef Li!

Xue Mingyue raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a faint look: "So, what have you done for him?"

Was it to secretly reveal her whereabouts, or to reveal what she was doing to Xie Lang?

Lidong had a hard time saying that she had learned a lot in the military camp, but she had not learned how to deal with this kind of interrogation scene. If the other party was an enemy, she would definitely kill him without saying anything, but the person in front of her was a lady.

In the end, she was defeated after not being able to hold on for long, and whispered: "I only helped the Marquis with errands when we were in the paddock."

Xue Mingyue frowned: "What is it?"

"Help the Marquis poison the Ninth Princess and the others."

"...?" She was stunned for a moment.

After Lidong took the risk, he was no longer nervous, and simply said all the words he had been holding in his heart for a long time:

"Madam, didn't you order me to poison the Ninth Princess and the others before? In fact, the Marquis discovered it that day, and then the Marquis secretly sent people to search for tiger vines in the mountains. He asked Wu Ye and the others to go there every night. Poisoned.”

"The reason why Ninth Princess and the others have not recovered is because we have been repeatedly administering the medicine."

"But the Marquis didn't let me tell you. He also said that you just wanted to teach them a lesson. If you knew these things, you might be soft-hearted. And the poisonous mushrooms were later poisoned. The Marquis also sent people to help."

Xue Mingyue was stunned when she heard this, and was a little confused for a moment.

Is there Xie Lang's handiwork in this matter?

No wonder she always felt that something was wrong with Xiao Qing'er and the others' injuries that couldn't be improved. Was it because he kept asking people to secretly increase the dosage of medicine?

In fact, she guessed that someone might be secretly drugging him, but she never thought about Xie Lang.

Xue Mingyue quickly came to her senses, her eyes flashed slightly as she thought of something.

He looked at her with half-lidded eyes: "Is there something else you are hiding from me?"

Lidong frowned and said hesitantly: "...The Marquis said that you had trouble sleeping, and he told me to light soothing incense in the tent every night when I was in the paddock."

Xue Mingyue was silent, Xie Lang thought very thoughtfully.

After thinking about it, she suddenly paused again, and her expression became a little strange. How did he know that she had not slept well?

"Anymore?"

"No more, no more! There really is no more!"

Lidong shook his head quickly.

Xue Mingyue raised her eyebrows and pondered. Looking at her anxious expression that did not seem to be fake, she guessed that she was not lying. In fact, if we really want to discuss these two things, they are nothing.

As early as Xie Lang sent Lidong to her, she had already planned that he would secretly do things for him.

Until now, she has never done anything outrageous.

In fact, Xue Mingyue never thought about keeping Lidong by her side forever. She would let Lidong leave after they were separated. Rather than staying by her side, Lidong staying in the military camp might be what she wanted.

It would be overqualified to stay by his own side.

She sighed inwardly.

Finally, he said to Lidong with a straight face: "Never again, if the Marquis asks you to do something again, you must inform me as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

Lidong immediately said: "Understood!"

At this time, Xue Mingyue suddenly felt her fingers being lightly rubbed. She lowered her head and saw the kitten lying on the bed with its belly exposed and acting coquettishly towards her. He hugged her fingers with his cat paws and said, "Mmm."

Xue Mingyue's heart softened and she touched its belly with her fingertips.

"I understand, you go down first, I want to be alone for a while."

Lidong and Liuyun looked at each other.

In the end, I could only retreat silently.

It was already dark, and the first quarter moon hung far above the night sky.

There was an evening breeze blowing in from the window, and the candlelight swayed and ruffled the light-colored bed curtains.

Xue Mingyue lowered her eyelashes and teased the kitten with her white fingers. What she was thinking about was what Lidong had just said. What he did for her in secret was far more important than what he did openly. many.

She thought to herself, it turns out that Xie Lang would do this when he likes someone.

It seems that my heart and eyes are all about you.

So Xie Jinglan never liked her in his previous life, right?

Xue Mingyue had so many thoughts in her mind that she couldn't figure it out for a long time. She quietly looked at the stars in the sky outside the window... If I had to mention it, she and Xie Lang actually had a time when they got along harmoniously.

In the days after their wedding, Xie Lang had not yet received the mission from the Jinwu Guards.

At that time, apart from paying respects to her grandmother, she spent the rest of the time with Xie Lang. He was practicing martial arts in the martial arts field, and she would sit not far away and watch, or he would be studying in the study, and she would also accompany him in the study. He reads books.

But she was probably too boring, so after those few days, he never thought of her again.

Then, there was the time when she went to the martial arts field to bring him breakfast, and accidentally bumped into Bai Zhenzhen holding a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. It was also that time when she discovered that Bai Zhenzhen was not the cousin of the Hou family.

She and Xie Lang had a quarrel over this matter.

Memories of the past kept coming back, and Xue Mingyue's mind was filled with emotions, and she couldn't help but let out a long breath. After she calmed down, she curled her lips, and all the hesitations in her heart dissipated in an instant.

It was good to think about these things, at least it would clear her head.

Xue Mingyue rubbed her face vigorously twice, and her eyes gradually became firm again.

She and Xie Lang were separated not only by external factors, but also by the bits and pieces that happened in the previous life. As long as he was the Marquis of Dingyuan and the future commander of the Dingyuan Army, she and he would not be able to.

So what's there to hesitate about?

Of course, the sooner we leave, the better!
