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

Xue Mingyue said it lightly and threw the hot potato directly to Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

At first glance, it seems like he is pleading for Xia Mei and others, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that compared to Xie Lang's death with thirty sticks, this is more like a delayed death penalty, and they still have to die in full view of the public. He confessed and died.

This matter involves the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the old Princess Cen. Even if the Bai family intends to operate, the Jingzhao Mansion Yin does not dare to open a back door for them.

After figuring out the key, Bai Zhenzhen's face became very ugly.

Xie Lang's eyebrows were cold and stern, and his long eyes lightly glanced at Butler Zhang.

Steward Zhang's heart was suddenly shaken, his mind was spinning a thousand times, and he immediately said: "Old slave, I obey."

After saying that, he quickly ordered them to drag down Xia Mei and others and imprison them in the woodshed. Unexpectedly, the Marquis was more interested in helping the madam. In this case, the situation in the mansion will probably change after tonight.

Xue Mingyue's slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed.

"Miss Cousin, Miss Cousin!"

"Miss, wake up!"

Suddenly, I saw Bai Zhenzhen covering her heart with her hands, leaning back, closing her eyes and falling on the maid.

"Master Marquis, please help my young lady quickly. She fainted because of Xia Mei's anger!"

The maid shouted anxiously.

Xue Mingyue raised her eyebrows: "..."

Just pretend to be dizzy when you see something is wrong?

Xie Lang lowered his dark eyes and glanced, and said in a cold voice: "I am not a doctor, and I don't know how to treat illnesses and save people. If you have the time to call me for help, why not hurry up and go to Zhao's doctor?"

The maid was immediately dumbfounded, not expecting him to react like this.

Butler Zhang turned his head and glanced at the unmoved Mr. Hou. While secretly taking a breath and trying to figure out his intentions, he quickly ordered the servants of Baiyun Court to carry Bai Zhenzhen back to the courtyard, and then ordered the generals of the mansion to carry him back to the courtyard. Doctor, please go over there.

For a moment, the entire front hall started to move in an orderly manner.

Soon the surrounding servants dispersed. Xue Mingyue carried the small heater. Seeing that there was nothing else going on here, she turned her head and glanced at Liu Yun Liu Xing. The three masters and servants turned around and left.

But the moment he turned around, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Xie Lang.

"Mingyue, I have something to say to you."

She tried to pull away, but he held her too hard and couldn't break free.

He had no choice but to turn around and look at Xie Lang, and said word by word: "What do you want to say, Master Hou? Please hurry up, my medicine is going cold."

Seeing that her distant and cold expression didn't seem to be fake, but that she really didn't have any affection for him, Xie Lang's eyes darkened, his throat moved slightly, and he unconsciously held her wrist tighter.

"I'm not aware of the rumors circulating in the house, and I don't think of you that way. I will handle the matter well. You have been wronged during this period."

"The Marquis has everything to do every day, how can I dare to be wronged?" Xue Mingyue asked.

Xie Lang was speechless and could only shout in a low voice: "Mingyue."

Xue Mingyue sneered and broke her wrist out of his hand, saying: "I don't care how the rumors slander me. I don't need to explain to me how the Marquis and others think of me. I just hope that the Marquis can control those around him." People, don’t let what happened today happen again, and the people close to you will be in trouble again.”

She blessed herself perfunctorily, then turned and left.

Naturally, the person she was referring to was not a servant in the palace. Xie Lang knew clearly that she was talking about Bai Zhenzhen, but standing behind Bai Zhenzhen were the widows of thousands of Dingyuan Army soldiers who died at the border. They could not be dealt with easily. .

If no conclusive evidence can be given, the Dingyuan Army will most likely be dissatisfied with the Hou Mansion.

But the reason cannot be explained in this situation.

Xie Lang pursed his lips and could only watch helplessly as her back disappeared around the corner of the corridor. Then he turned around and glanced at the two guards, Wu Ye and Xi Jiang, who were waiting in front of him. He said coldly: "Tomorrow morning I will see the person in the mansion. Clean up all the rubbish.”

Hearing his angry tone, a chill ran down their spines and they immediately responded.

Over the years, various forces have put a lot of spies into the house, and they are all watching under their noses. From time to time, they will reveal some information so that it can be hidden in the hearts of those behind it.

That night, many dead people were carried out quietly from the back door of the Hou Mansion.

...

The night is as cold as water.

Xue Mingyue walked back to Muqingyuan under the quiet moonlight. The more she thought about Xie Lang, the angrier she became. She wished that this troublemaker would not come back.

Originally, she wanted to use this incident to teach Bai Zhenzhen a harsh lesson.

But now she can only stop with Xia Mei, how can she accept it!

Does he think that just saying "I feel wronged to you" can offset so many ugly and unbearable rumors in the past? He actually wanted to comfort her with just these few words? !

After returning to the house, Xue Mingyue took off her cloak, took off her embroidered shoes, got into the bed, pulled the quilt over her head and covered her head.

She just felt that there was a depression in her heart that was difficult to vent.

But then she thought about it, she had expected Xie Lang to defend Bai Zhenzhen. Being able to catch Xia Mei and others on the spot today was better than the half-year detention she had in her previous life when she was the only one who was identified as the murderer. Well come.

Wasn't it because she saw Xie Lang clearly that she thought of making peace with him?

Thinking about it, she didn't know whether it was because she had been covered with the quilt for too long, or because the fatigue that she had suppressed after falling into the water came back. It came out muffledly:

"Liu Yun, please stay at the door and don't let anyone in, especially the Marquis."

"..."

Liuyun Liuxing looked at each other, lightly lit a few candles, and lowered the bed curtains.

Xue Mingyue fell into a drowsy sleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Moon on treetops.

It was only then that Xie Lang finally finished handling the official duties at hand, and returned to the main house from the study when he had time. As soon as he reached the door of the house, he was stopped hesitantly by the two maids Liu Yun and Liu Xing. After asking, he found out that this was Xue Mingyue's orders.

The two stopped, but did not stop.

Xie Lang was not surprised by her acting like she was letting off steam, and he curved his lips and smiled softly.

Reaching out to push aside the heavy bed curtains, I saw a small bulge on the bed. The whole person was curled up in the quilt, only a small part of the slightly pale face was exposed. The sweaty forehead was stuck to the temples, and the thin eyebrows were tight. Frowning.

"Moon?"

He frowned and touched his forehead lightly with the back of his hand. As expected, it was cold and sweaty.

Xie Lang glanced at the medicine bowl beside her. After picking it up, she found that it was still warm, but she couldn't drink it.

Thinking of why she was so ill, Xie Lang's face was condensed, and a storm was brewing in his dark eyes. He helped Xue Mingyue up from the quilt, put her in his arms, and pinched her two arms with his slender fingers. cheeks, forcing her to open her mouth.

Then give her the medicine spoon by spoon.

After feeding for a long time, less than half of the medicine was actually consumed.

Xie Lang pursed his thin lips tightly, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. He picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip. He lowered his head and put it on her lips and poured the medicine in little by little. He repeated this many times before taking the remaining half of the medicine in the bowl. Feed clean.

In a daze, Xue Mingyue always felt a strong bitterness in her mouth, which made her frown even in her sleep.

He murmured something cold in his mouth, so he unconsciously looked for the source of heat and rubbed it over, hugging his waist tightly. The reassuring scent of sandalwood lingered on the tip of his nose. Just when Xie Lang was about to put down the bowl, he was caught off guard and hugged. With his arms full, his body suddenly froze.

Feeling the softness between his waist and abdomen, he couldn't help but straighten his back.

Just as he was about to take her into his arms and comfort her softly, he heard her murmuring:

"Xie Jinglan, it's snowing hard outside and I'm so cold."

"Let's make peace..."

Xie Lang's heart suddenly shook, his chest heaved violently several times, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
