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

If it were just those things from the previous life, Xue Mingyue would still be willing to give them a way out.

But since she knew that Xue Xujun was secretly on the same side as the second prince, it was probably Xue Xujun who told her grandfather all kinds of bad news in her name, which led to her involvement in the second prince's rebellion and his death.

And in this life, Xue Xujun and the others have been plotting against grandpa.

Every time she thought of this, Xue Mingyue wanted to let them sacrifice their lives. She had seen many shameless people, but no one had ever made her feel so disgusted. Xue Xujun was the worst among them.

From then on, she would never be soft to the people of Xue Mansion again.

Xue Mingyue heard herself ask calmly: "Are you sure the hands of those you let go are really clean? The concubines are too young to get involved, but the concubines often use the name of the minister. Being domineering outside."

"You must not let the wrong person go."

Xie Lang lowered his head and glanced at her in surprise.

Then he bent his narrow phoenix eyes and smiled in a good mood: "The one you let go is your concubine. Your concubines have helped Xue Xujun to some extent, and now they are all in prison. .”

At this point, he paused and added: "Lin and Xue Rou are also in prison. If you want to see them, I can take you there."

Xue Mingyue paused slightly and raised her eyes to glance at him.

He took a deep breath and said tactfully: "The prisoners in the prison are all important prisoners. It's not good for me to go. Besides, I don't have a good relationship with them, so I won't go. Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Come on, prison sounds like a very bloody place!

It is said that there are endless methods of execution in the imperial prison. Did he really take her to watch the fun? Wasn't it that he wanted to use imprisonment to scare her not to run away? !

Hearing this, Xie Lang sighed with regret.

If she could see the miserable situation of Xue Xujun and Lin's mother and daughter, and hear their words of admitting their mistakes and begging for mercy without even giving up their dignity and face, she would no longer have any illusions about them.

In Xue Xujun's eyes, family ties are only profitable.

Over the years, he has often used Lou Zhizhang's power to do things in the court. Even marrying his daughter back then was deliberate, otherwise he would not have flirted with Taifu Lin's granddaughter while his wife was lingering on the sickbed.

Xue Mingyue didn't know what he was thinking.

She thought for a moment, then turned around and ordered: "Liu Yun, Liu Xing, you two go to the yard to pick up all my mother's belongings. If there are other things that can be taken away, take them away. If you can't take them away, forget it." ”

When I first got married, most of the things in the yard were moved.

There are only some old things left that cannot be taken away.

They both said yes in unison.

After saying this, she looked at Xie Lang and said something shocking: "Master Hou, where do we start searching? How about starting in the study? There is a secret passage in his study, have you discovered it?"

Wuye: "?"

Xie Lang: "?"

He was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became solemn: "Secret passage?"

Seeing him like this, Xue Mingyue knew that they had not discovered it at all. She mentally criticized the guard's search ability and nodded: "Yes, it's just a secret passage in the old house. I accidentally discovered it when I went to his study when I was a child. .”

As mentioned before, this house was awarded to Xue Xujun by the current Holy Emperor.

Before that they were still living in the old house.

Even after moving, the old house still belongs to Xue Xujun.

The secret passage that Xue Mingyue discovered when she was young was in the old house. At that time, her mother had not passed away, and Xue Xujun was afraid of her grandfather. Plus she was young, so there was basically no place in Xue Mansion that she could not go.

After hearing what she said, Xie Lang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Let's check here first."

"With Xue Xujun's cautious and unchanging temperament, since he will set up a secret passage in the study room of the old house, there may be the same secret passage in this house. In the dark night, you can lead a team of people to search the old house."

Wu Ye immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Lord Marquis."

"The mechanism of the secret passage is very simple. Just uncover the painting of a lady on the wall and turn the vase inside. Can you bring me the painting after you finish searching?"

Everyone's eyes fell on her.

Xue Mingyue pursed her lower lip, pretending to be relaxed and said: "The painting of the lady was painted by my mother, Xue Xujun. I once asked him to give the painting to me, but he was unwilling, so I went to turn over the painting."

Unexpectedly, a secret passage was discovered.

She was so frightened at the time that she kept the secret and only told her mother. Her mother was silent for a long time and only told her not to touch the painting in the study again, and she was not allowed to go to the study again.

Xie Lang raised his hand and rubbed her head and said, "Of course."

Xue Mingyue tilted her head back, shook her head, puffed up her cheeks and glared at him: "Don't touch me! I told you that I'm still angry. If you do something again, I won't help you."

Xie Lang laughed, quickly raised his hands and said: "Okay, okay, I won't touch it anymore."

Wu Ye felt his teeth sour, thinking that their marquis could really do anything in front of his wife. He did not dare to look any further, and quickly called out a group of people and rushed to the Xue family's old residence.

...

Xue Mingyue led Xie Lang to the study room.

After so many years, she walked on this familiar road again, and she couldn't help feeling a little emotional. She tightened her fingers holding the small heater and sighed slowly.

The past events she thought she had forgotten slowly emerged.

Xue Mingyue thought that all her disappointment and disappointment had been used up in her previous life, but she didn't expect that she would still feel depressed. She knew what kind of person Xue Xujun was, but she still recalled the past.

She lowered her head and kicked forward.

"There are only you and me here. If you are sad, you can vent to your heart's content."

Xie Lang's low voice sounded from behind.

Seeing that her head was so low that it was almost buried in the ground, and her whole body was like a dejected red bird, exuding a faint resentment, he sighed in his heart: "Maybe you have something to say, or You can talk to me."

Xue Mingyue paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "What should I be sad about? I wish they would die soon."

This is the truth.

But that didn't stop her from feeling depressed.

Xue Mingyue turned around and walked to the eaves of the corridor to look at the rugged rockery. Xie Lang walked to her side and straightened her cloak, and also looked at the rockery.

After a while, her voice sounded:

"Before my mother passed away, even though he took in several concubines and gave me several younger brothers and sisters, I actually still regarded him as a good father, even though I could feel that he didn't like me very much. .”

Children's perceptions are always sharp.

Xue Xujun's love for their mother and daughter was superficial, with a strong sense of fakeness.

"The first time he showed his impatience to me was when my mother became seriously ill again. I cried in fear and asked him to hold me, but he scolded me. When my mother was dying, he Stay in the study."

Xue Mingyue thought that maybe that was when she started to resent him.

That's why the relationship with him was so bad later.

Every time she saw how much he cared about her in front of her grandfather, she felt ironic and didn't understand the meaning of his superficial efforts.

Thinking about it now, this was just to gain grandpa's trust.
