After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Since arriving at Xie's house, Song Nihuan has been extremely cautious, fearing that one wrong step would result in her falling into the abyss.

Faced with a handsome man like Xie Yunji, she retreated and became timid due to her past experiences, and did not dare to face her feelings for him.

Later they got married and were as close as one.

He left suddenly. Whether she blamed him for leaving without saying goodbye or hated his indifference to her, she could not deny that he was a talented and ambitious official.

Is his talent and ambition going to be buried like this? Is his noble cause of suing the royal family going to be treated like this?

If she were a concubine, I would not marry her.

[Ni Huan, it's my fault, don't cry]

[Trust me, wait for me to come back]

Song Nihuan opened her eyes and cast a burning gaze towards the towering palace walls.

"My husband is an upright official, a loyal minister, and a filial son. I, your wife, beat the drum to make my husband's intentions known! Your Majesty, please judge this case impartially and clear my husband's name! Please don't let down the hearts of scholars all over the world!"

Her voice echoed in the air, carrying endless sorrow and determination.

Before anyone knew it, a heavy snowfall came quietly, fluttering down and landing on the hearts of every bystander.

"Hope, the sound of gold and jade!"

"May it reach the ears of Heaven!"

"Hope, the truth will come out!"

Her voice became louder and louder, more and more passionate, as if she wanted to release all the grief and anger in her heart.

For a moment, all the onlookers were infected by her, and the snow in the sky seemed to be mourning for her.

When Pinga Fuyu arrived, Song Nihuan on the stage was shaking almost all over, but she was still knocking hard, stubborn and unyielding.

At this moment, he hated Xie Yunji so much, he hated this hypocritical man!

Finally, when she was about to give up, the prefect of Shuntian arrived and said, "Mrs. Xie, according to the Dazhao Law, beating the drum for reporting will result in death and punishment. Do you know that?"

Song Nihuan didn't even think about it and blurted out: "Reporting to the Lord, I don't know whether my husband is alive or dead now. I am willing to be punished as soon as possible and the trial will begin earlier!"

"Come here, execute her." The prefect raised his hand and made a gesture to take her down, and the bailiffs immediately lifted her up.

"Wait a minute!"

Pinga Fuyu spoke up in time, squeezed to the front of the crowd, and said to the prefect in a deep voice: "Sir Liu! As long as Xie Hanlin is not convicted and sentenced, Jiang will be a court lady. It is not appropriate to execute an official's wife in public!"

"Knocking on the drum means executing the person in public."

"That was a commoner beating the drum. When has Lord Liu ever seen a lady of high rank beating the drum? If Xie Hanlin is found innocent and finds out that his wife has been tortured like this, where will he put his face?" Pinga Fuyu spoke very quickly, arguing with reason, "Lord Liu, don't be confused! The law does not specify how long a minister will be imprisoned if he sues a member of the royal family. A commoner beating the drum will lead to execution, but it does not say that a lady of high rank will also be executed!"

Because of his concern, Pinga Fu Yu did not notice the hint from the Shuntian prefect's winking eyes.

Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Song Nihuan said, "Pingjia Shaocheng, there is no need to say more for me. Since I am here, I am ready. Let's get started!"

At this moment, Pinga Fuyu felt a deep hatred towards Xie Yunji.

Obviously, the position in the Hanlin Academy is noble and far away from worldly troubles, which complements the Xie family's reputation of being a clean and honest family for hundreds of years. However, this man insisted on getting involved in the struggle for imperial power, causing his own wife to suffer and unable to live in peace!

His face was even paler than Song Nihuan's, and he clenched his teeth. Just as he was about to rush forward to take her back, the Shuntian prefect grabbed his sleeve at the right time and winked at him with a mysterious look.

Pinga Fuyu finally came to his senses...and the tense muscles all over his body relaxed.

Shuanghua opened her eyes wide and witnessed Song Nihuan being tortured. Her thin body was motionless and her snow-white dress was gradually seeping with blood, which looked particularly resolute against the backdrop of the vast white snow.

The last glimmer of hope in her heart was shattered. While she felt sad for Xie Tan, she was also shocked by the young lady's deep affection for the eldest son.

How did the young lady have such courage?

Song Nihuan's actions invisibly influenced the girl.

Shuanghua replaced Linglong as the head maid in Liufengyuan, and served Song Nihuan personally together with Molan.

She learns very quickly and Song Nihuan trusts her very much.

That day, Xie Yunji was still busy in the Supervisory Office. Song Nihuan asked the small kitchen to prepare some soups and water to send to him, and ordered Shuanghua to rush to check whether they were ready yet.

Shuanghua went to the small kitchen and found the woman at the stove preparing some medicinal herbs.

She asked, "What is this? Why is there medicine? Who is sick?"

The kitchen lady said, "It's from the young lady. It's medicine that helps women's health."

"Then why did you throw it away? Why didn't you fry it for the young lady?"

"Oh, how can I tell you, a young girl who has never been married! This is... this is a pregnancy-preserving medicine, which is a medicine that will help women get pregnant easily after drinking it! The master stopped letting the young lady drink it half a year ago. It is easy to get worms in the spring. I thought I should quickly pack it up and throw it away."

Shuanghua hesitated and asked, "Why don't you let me drink it, young master?"

"Why are you so stubborn, girl? Are you trying to get to the bottom of this? The young master must have a reason for not letting me drink. Medicine is poisonous. Madam, you have been drinking for so long but there is no good news. Why do you still drink?!" The lady at the kitchen said impatiently, "What on earth are you doing here?"

"Take the food that the young lady prepared for the young master."

The lady at the stove was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh anxiously, "Oh my, oh my, I forgot! Is it still warming on the fire? I almost forgot!"

"Bring it here quickly! The young lady is getting impatient. It's almost time for dinner, and the food in the Inspectorate is not tasty!" Shuanghua urged.

After the brocade box containing the dishes was brought, Song Nihuan and Shuanghua boarded the carriage of Xie Mansion together.

She really felt sorry for Shuanghua, and of course she took her in out of a sense of indebtedness to Xie Tan.

Linglong is getting married, and Liufengyuan is short of someone. They need new people anyway, so why not choose Shuanghua?

When Xie Tan was here, she was willing to serve in Tan's courtyard and helped Xie Tan sell calligraphy and paintings. She was a loyal servant.

But now, she is extremely courageous, dares to resist, and remains calm. Such a smart person has grown up in a corner of the Xie family where no one pays attention.

Song Nihuan looked at her resolute and calm appearance, as well as a bit of stubbornness, and she liked her more and more.

Xie Yunji did not say much about this matter. He had always trusted Song Nihuan and generously gave her full respect and power in the inner house.

Song Nihuan hugged the brocade box tightly in his arms, feeling the warmth inside. Waves of the aroma of rice wafted out of the box. Those were all his favorite dishes.

These days, Xie Yunji has been busy all the time, always looking depressed, and has lost a lot of weight.

We haven't seen each other for several days. I'm going to bring him some food. I'm sure he'll be happy.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Song Nihuan's face.
