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

The study is not far from the main wing.

Whether Xue Xujun came tonight under the instigation of the second prince to deal with the Tang Yan family, Xue Mingyue had to be sure before she could rest assured.

She was anxious and walked quickly. It didn't take long for her to reach the study room. After catching a glimpse of two figures reflected in the window, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madam? Why are you here?"

Wu Ye, who was guarding outside the door, bowed his hands and looked at her in surprise.

Is the moon coming out to the west? Madam actually came to the study to look for Mr. Hou.

"The Marquis is working hard on duty, so I came here specially to bring him the old duck soup carefully cooked in the small kitchen to replenish his health. It seems that I came at an unlucky time. Does the Marquis have a guest?"

Xue Mingyue looked calm and raised her hand to wave.

Liuyun walked forward with a wooden plate on which was placed a palm-sized white porcelain soup cup.

Wu Ye said quickly: "Back to Madam, the Marquis is indeed entertaining guests."

He was quite strict and didn't reveal anything.

Xue Mingyue raised her eyes and glanced at the reflection on the window paper where they were still talking, and said without leaving a trace: "Oh, since it is not convenient for the Marquis, I will leave first. You are not allowed to tell him about my visit."

The hand hidden in the sleeve squeezed the knuckles tightly.

After saying that, she turned to Liuyun and wrote lightly: "Let's go back, pour the soup into the leftover rice and feed it to the dog."

Wu Ye was slightly startled: "This..."

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Wu Ye couldn't imagine what the Marquis's attitude would be if he knew about Madam's return. He immediately stopped the two of them and said, "Madam, wait a moment. I will go and inform the Marquis right now." .”

Xue Mingyue paused, and her tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

She turned around and smiled at him: "Sorry to trouble you."

"Don't take it seriously. This is the responsibility of your subordinates."

Wu Ye bowed, opened the door and walked in.

As soon as I entered, I heard Xue Xujun and Mr. Xue's low and angry voice coming from inside:

"Master Marquis, since you and Mingyue got married, my father-in-law has never asked you to do anything. This matter is not difficult to handle and it is within the responsibilities of the Jinwu Guards. It is up to you to bring Yan Erlang out. This matter Blameless…”

The next words came to an abrupt end.

Xie Lang lowered his eyelids, his expression indifferent, and he played with the dagger that glowed coldly.

No one knows whether he listened to these words.

Wu Ye bowed his head and saluted: "Master Marquis, my wife is outside the door asking to see you."

Hearing this, Xie Lang paused in his movements and suddenly opened his eyes. His dark eyes suddenly brightened when he caught a glimpse of the slim figure at the door. He stood up and walked past Xue Xujun towards the door.

The tall figure enveloped Xue Mingyue.

There was indescribable surprise in his eyes, and his eyes were burning.

"How did you come?"

Xue Mingyue's heart skipped a beat and she said in a steady voice: "I heard that you are still in the study and I am here to bring you old duck soup. Does the voice inside sound like my father?"

Xie Lang hummed: "We are talking about the Yan family."

"So how was the chat?"

"not too good."

Under his hot gaze, Xue Mingyue felt a little uncomfortable, and her palms became inexplicably hot and sweaty.

After hearing that Xue Xujun was indeed here to talk about the Yan family, her heart gradually sank, and she pursed her lips and said, "Oh, then I won't disturb you and continue talking about things. I'll leave first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Lang suddenly held her wrist.

"No, don't bother."

"My father-in-law and I have finished talking. If you happen to come over, please come with me to see your father-in-law leave."

Xue Xujun: "..."

This is really his good son-in-law.

He still has a lot of lobbying words to say.

Xue Xujun almost laughed at them, his face was ugly, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Mingyue, have you forgotten the etiquette and rules that dad taught you at home? Is this what a wife should do when she breaks into her husband's study?"

"You are the mistress of the house. You should be taking care of the Marquis's house and serve your grandmother. How unbecoming is it to pester the Marquis all day long!"

Xue Mingyue couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his angry words, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

It seems that he hasn't persuaded Xie Lang to help yet.

She sneered in her heart, but a look of extreme astonishment appeared on her face: "Dad, although you are the Minister of Etiquette, I could only see you three or four times a year before getting married? When did you teach me etiquette?"

Xue Mingyue said regretfully: "It seems that your memory has become bad as you get older."

"It's okay. You can eat more pecans when you go back. I heard that this stuff is very good for the brain. I hope that when we meet next time, you can remember what you said to me and don't worry your daughter."

puff-

Xie Lang curled his lips and laughed silently.

When did his daughter become so sharp-tongued!

Xue Xujun leaned back in anger: "You..."

At this moment, Xie Lang's voice suddenly sounded and interrupted his next words: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law thinks Mingyue is right. We all understand that you have a bad memory. Remember to eat more walnuts and don't let them We are worried."

"It's getting late, you should go back home, otherwise your mother-in-law should be worried about you."

The tone is strong and unequivocal.

With a gentle smile on his lips, Xie Lang turned his head to look at Xue Mingyue, chuckled at her and winked.

Xue Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, his wrist was suddenly touched twice by him through a layer of clothes.

She subconsciously curled her fingers, and then quickly realized what he meant. She bent her eyes and looked at Xue Xujun worriedly: "It's not peaceful in the city recently. Dad, you'd better go back as soon as possible. If something happens to you, the entire Xue family will be safe." It’s so sad.”

She doesn't know how!

If something happens to him, she will definitely be the first to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Xue Xujun: "!" She actually cursed him!

"Wu Ye, take Master Xue out of the house for me."

Xie Lang looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Father-in-law, it's better to leave than see you off."

"Master Xue, the door is over here, please."

...

When leaving, Xue Xujun's face was still ugly.

Before leaving, he glared at her fiercely. Seeing this, Xue Mingyue immediately took back her foot that was trying to give him a few steps, stood motionless beside Xie Lang, waved her hand and reminded: "Dad, remember to eat walnuts to nourish your brain. "

Xue Xujun staggered and left quickly.

As soon as he left, Xue Mingyue's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Do you dislike your father so much?"

Xie Lang looked at her cold face and felt strangely happy when he thought that she was not so indifferent to him.

Xue Mingyue said calmly: "If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather."

Not even half a year after her mother passed away, he couldn't wait to marry her second wife, why would he care about her as a daughter.

In his heart, he only cares about the children born to the Lin family, and he doesn't even treat her as well as the servants in the family, so she doesn't like this father. To put it more deeply, she just wants to break off the relationship with him.

Seeing that she was really unhappy, Xie Lang stopped talking.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the soup in the hand of the maid behind him, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "The outsider has already left. Are you here specifically to deliver soup to me?"

"……no."

She just came to see her dad.
