After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Facing Xie Ran's bottomless dark eyes, Ma finally remembered that Xie Ran was not only the third young master of the mansion, but also a young general who had killed countless people and once massacred an entire city in one night.

Xie Ran dared to cut off the heads of his enemies when he was a teenager, let alone him now.

Ma's body went limp, and she completely lost the strength to fight against Xie Ran.

The room was silent. Xie Ran stood in the sunlight that came into the room, half of his face was covered in light golden light, and the other half was hidden in the shadow of the backlight.

Half of him is handsome and incomparably beautiful, like a banished immortal; the other half is cold and brutal, cruel and indifferent, like Yama.

Huo stopped spinning the Buddhist beads in her hand, was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "What Jin'er said just now makes sense. The renovation of the Wanfo Temple is a big project and cannot be left to others.

Ma, I leave this matter entirely to you. Don't return home until the repairs are completed!"

Ma was originally at fault in this matter, so it is understandable that Xie Ran seeks justice for his mother.

Huo's previous reluctance to deal with Ma was in order to preserve the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion. But if Ma is allowed to stay in the mansion now, I'm afraid someone will die.

"Mother, are you really going to allow them to bully me like this?" Ma didn't expect Huo to agree and was shocked.

Rumors in the capital are as sharp as blades. Once she goes to the Wanfo Temple, she will definitely be suspected and speculated by the officials' wives, and even the master and Run'er's careers will be affected.

Ma looked at Huo pleadingly, but Huo had already closed her eyes and ignored her.

Ma knew that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it, so she gritted her teeth and begged Su, "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong!

Please give me another chance since we have been sisters-in-law for many years. I will definitely follow your lead in the future."

Looking at Ma with tears streaming down her face, Su pursed her lips.

She bent her knees and squatted down, and seeing this, Ma's eyes lit up with hope.

"If I ask you to stop and let me go today, will you agree?" Su asked softly in her ear.

Ma was stunned.

Su stood up and raised her hand to brush off the thin dust on her skirt, "The temple is a place to purify the mind and spirit, please protect my second brother and sister-in-law!"

She's not smart, but she's not stupid either.

Ma had harmed her so much, and Ran'er and Jin'er were trying every means to seek justice for her. If she turned around and forgave Ma, what would she be like!

Ma was so shocked and angry that her eyes went dark and she really fainted. Xie Miaorong took Ma away crying.

Mrs. Huo also punished Gu Rou for disrespecting her mother-in-law by making her reflect on her mistakes indoors for a month and copying the rules of the female monastery ten times. Although Xie Miaoyin did not say anything disrespectful, she did not try to dissuade them when the incident happened, so she was also punished to copy the rules of the female monastery.

Although Gu Rou was indignant in her heart, she could only suppress her temper and obey the order when she thought of the next plan.

Gu Jin actually understands the Huo family. As a patriarch, he definitely wants to preserve the interests of the entire family. Personal interests seem insignificant when compared to the family's honor and disgrace.

However, you can fight for your own interests.

"You look quite manly today." Accustomed to seeing Xie Ran, who was as gentle as jade, Gu Jin felt that he seemed quite good today.

Xie Ran tilted his head, puzzled, "Barbarian?"

"He's very tall, very powerful and very manly.

Unlike some people who look full of masculinity but are actually whiny and have no courage at all! "

Marquis Yongchang, who followed out and happened to hear these words: “…” Just tell me my name directly.

Gu Jin and Su walked side by side arm in arm. Xie Ran was speaking gently to Gu Jin with his head half lowered. The three of them standing together looked like a truly close family.

Marquis Yongchang felt inexplicably unhappy. Wasn't there anyone who thought of him?

Gu Jin suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Oh! How could we have forgotten about the Marquis!"

The corners of Yongchang Hou's lips curled slightly, and he still had a conscience.

"The Marquis still owes me several thousand taels of silver!"

Marquis Yongchang: “…” Just forget about him!

……

On the other side, Huo sent his trusted confidant to help Ma pack her luggage and ordered her to set off for Wanfo Temple.

Ma felt suffocated in the chest and felt as if there was a pool of blood in her throat.

Xie Miaorong's eyes were red as she watched the servants packing their luggage. She choked up and said, "Mother, do you have to go?"

Xie Miaorong was somewhat resentful of Ma. Why did she provoke Su for no reason? It would be so embarrassing for her to face her uncle's family in the future.

But when she saw that Ma was really going to be driven away, she was left with only confusion and reluctance.

"I didn't expect that Xie Ran was so cruel to his family. If I don't leave, he will probably target your second brother." Now she can only leave the Marquis' Mansion to calm Xie Ran's anger, and make other plans after this crisis is over.

Ma held Xie Miaorong's hand, looked at the pretty girl and said earnestly: "Miaorong, when mother can come back depends on you."

"Me?" Xie Miaorong was puzzled. "How could my grandmother and uncle listen to me? I still have to rely on my father for this matter."

"This is your grandmother's decision. Even your father cannot refute it."

"Then I have no other options, right?"

Ma shook her head and said meaningfully: "The palace banquet on July 7th is the best opportunity!

Now several princes are still unmarried. If you can catch the eye of one of the princes, then our Second Branch will be completely transformed. What can Su and Xie Ran do to us then? "

Xie Miaorong was a little hesitant. Her pride did not allow her to please men. She wanted to find a man who could share the same ideological level with her.

But seeing Ma's eager eyes, she had no choice but to lower her eyes and agree, "I understand, mother. I will try my best."

Seeing that Xie Miaorong agreed, Ma patted her hands with satisfaction.

Ma's eyes were cold, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.

She has not lost yet. Sooner or later, she will get back today's humiliation with interest. By that time, she will sell Su to a brothel and watch her beg for mercy!

The next day, Gu Jin woke up early, which was unusual for Xie Ran. She was surprised and asked, "Why don't you sleep a little longer today?"

"Xiao Chenchen and I have agreed to go see his mother today, and I also have to prepare for the new product launch tomorrow. I'm very busy!"

Xie Ran's eyes flashed with an ambiguous emotion, but his tone was gentle, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Gu Jin waved his hand and said, "Just focus on your own things. If I'm really too busy, I can ask Xiao Chenchen for help.

I won’t talk to you anymore, I’m leaving now!”

Looking at Gu Jin's back without turning back, Xie Ran's smile faded.

I'm in a bad mood and need to find someone to vent my anger on.

When they reached the second gate, they met Marquis Yongchang who was also going to court. Xie Ran's eyes moved slightly. Let's choose him!
