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

Xue Mingyue's reaction was very dull when she heard the news. She just said "Oh" and didn't care.

Ever since she found out that her father Xue Xujun was a loyal second prince, the little affection she had in her heart had long since disappeared, not to mention that she had now deduced that he was related to her grandfather's death in her previous life.

She didn't want to recognize a man as her father who had remarried less than half a year after her mother's death.

It is not a pity to die for a person who is unkind and ungrateful.

Xue Mingyue blinked her slender eyelashes twice, and the expression on her face softened. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I suspect he still has a lot of things hidden. You can go to the house and search again."

Xie Lang raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"Since he has surrendered to the Second Prince a long time ago, and he has been able to become a confidant over the years, and he hides in the dark and does not reveal that he is the Second Prince's person, then he will do more things. ."

Xue Mingyue looked at him and shrugged indifferently.

After all, after openly siding with one another, they would inevitably be constrained in doing things, and there were still many people watching what they did, such as Tang Kun, who was impeached by the imperial censor more than a dozen times every year.

But hiding in the dark is different.

They can do things that others cannot do, because no one will associate those things with the second prince. Just like the Shanxi prefect who embezzled Shanxi disaster relief money, wouldn't people think of them?

Xue Mingyue really felt that Xue Xujun had many places to investigate.

She said very honestly: "My Majesty gave me such a big house as he asked. Even if I don't take care of the accounts at home, I know that the expenses in the house are getting bigger year by year, and he can't afford it with his salary."

Thinking of this, Xue Mingyue's face became a little distorted.

Yes, he, Xue Xujun, couldn't afford it, so he spent her mother's dowry to fill the gap, but he really did have it!

Xie Lang smiled gently with crooked eyebrows. Seeing her expression change several times, he couldn't help but stepped forward and rubbed her face. The corners of his lips turned up: "Don't worry, I have taken everything you said into consideration."

His tone was lazy: "I not only checked the Xue family, but also turned the Lin family upside down."

The evidence that Xue Xujun had a private connection with the second prince was handed over by him.

Xue Mingyue reached out and patted his claws off, frowning and gently rubbing her face. If he squeezed it twice more, her face would get calluses!

Xie Jinglan just deserves a beating.

"The imperial guards went to Xue's house and searched several times, but they only found some evidence of corruption and bribery." Xie Lang's eyes were heavy, "The letters of private contact were found in the second prince's house. Your father is very cautious."

This is also the reason why Xue Xujun has been in prison for so long.

But he, Xie Lang, is not someone who only looks at evidence. If he thinks he is suspicious, he will arrest him. As for the clues and evidence, he will add them later, but his guilt is indeed not worthy of death.

In his previous life, he fought back to Yongji from Suzhou, and Xue Xujun was still alive.

Emperor Jingping wanted to keep the person for the future emperor.

The corners of Xie Lang's lips curled up mockingly and he sneered softly.

Xue Mingyue didn't understand why he suddenly showed such a mocking expression, and paused slightly. According to her experience, generally speaking, when he showed such an expression, it meant that he was about to start a conspiracy.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard him say: "Do you want to go back to Xue Mansion to show off your power?"

"..."

Oh, it turned out that the plan was on her head.

Xue Mingyue said expressionlessly: "No, I don't want to."

Is it that her teahouse is not fun, or is the theater troupe's new play not good enough? What is there to show off in the empty Xue Mansion? Besides, what Your Majesty wants to see is for her to be bedridden and not go out.

Xie Lang met her resentful and accusing gaze. He wanted to persuade her a few more words, but then he found that the carriage had stopped.

Xue Mingyue quickly got up and slipped away.

She doesn't have such firm perseverance. Even if Xue Mansion is an empty shell, she does want to go back. After all, her things and her mother's things are still in it. If he says a few more words, maybe she will change. Got my mind.

No, no, no, run away quickly!

Xie Lang shook his head in amusement.

...

The Hou Mansion is still the same.

There were no changes in Muqingyuan. The servants in the yard saluted Xue Mingyue one after another.

Xue Mingyue was just about to ask someone to bring hot water to wash her face. Xie Lang, who was following her out of the carriage, first held her wrist, turned around and ordered them to carry the hot water into the room.

"Mr. An will bring someone to see you later. Please don't wash off your makeup yet."

Xie Lang explained softly.

The key point was the word 'bringing people', and Xue Mingyue immediately understood.

The furnishings in the courtyard have basically remained unchanged. Liuyun Liuxing quickly took over the affairs of the courtyard and gave instructions in an orderly manner. The young lady may not know how long she will stay here, so naturally she will do everything according to her comfort.

Not long after, Imperial Physician An brought people to the Hou Mansion.

The doctor he brought with him was also a doctor from the Imperial Hospital. He looked much younger, but Xie Langzai didn't dare to come forward because of this.

Xue Mingyue didn't want others to find out that she was pretending to be sick, so she simply lay on the bed and pretended to be unconscious. Only Dr. An was allowed to step forward to diagnose her pulse, and the young people who followed could only get a faint glimpse.

But even this little bit made him sure that she was indeed unconscious.

Breathing is shallow and weak (it can't be that he is asleep).

Doctor An was on business, left the prescription and led the people away.

As soon as the people left, Xue Mingyue immediately sat up, opened the bed curtain and stuck her head out, urging Liu Yun: "Hurry, bring the porridge you prepared, I'm almost starving to death."

Liuyun sighed and quickly went to the next room to bring some porridge.

Xie Lang sat next to him, supporting his chin with one hand, watching her wolfing down her food in amusement, his eyes full of smiles, and said: "Why are you so hungry? I'll have someone go to Sanhe Building to order a table of food for you. ?”

Xue Mingyue swallowed a mouthful of porridge with difficulty and rolled her eyes at him.

Why didn't he think about it? It was almost noon when Xijiang found the hot spring village. He had to rush to the other courtyard, and then it took another hour or two to get from the other courtyard to the capital. It was the same time to go to the palace and leave from the palace, okay?

She was so hungry that she was scratching her heart and lungs!

Xie Lang admitted his mistake obediently, turned around and asked Xijiang to go get the food from the restaurant.

Xue Mingyue: "..."

Xue Mingyue thought about Chef Li who had not been brought back. The food in the Hou Mansion might not be as good as the restaurant outside, so she had to ask Xijiang to buy a bowl of mutton suo biscuits from outside.

After finally finishing her belated lunch, she slumped down on the recliner to relax.

Xie Lang lay next to her, and for the rare occasion, he didn't have anyone bothering him with official duties. The two of them lay side by side in the yard to bask in the sun.

The surrounding servants saw this scene and skillfully and quietly avoided the courtyard.

He did not bother the Marquis and his wife who had reunited after a long absence.

Some even cried with joy.

Great, the madam is finally back. The Marquis has become so vicious these days, they really can't handle it!
