The door was violently kicked open from the outside, and a tall and handsome figure blocked out the sunlight. Under Xie Xun's furious roar, the two people inside were shocked for a long time, unable to react.

  Xian Xiang saw that the person who had arrived was Xie Yun, and his heart suddenly sank. Just now, those words, how much of them had he heard, did he know everything? What to do now?

  "Lord Hou... I..." She trembled and opened her mouth, her lips quivering uncontrollably with fear. Xingxiang wanted to calm down, wanted to cover up, but the sound coming out of her mouth exposed her nervousness completely.

  "Shut up!"

  With a loud shout, his anger was fully unleashed, scaring Qin Miao so much that her whole body shook. This person must have eaten gunpowder or something...

  Jing Xiang was shocked by this angry roar, and directly fell from the chair to the ground, looking at Xie Yan in disbelief. This person, from acquaintance to now, although always cold and distant, had never scolded or rebuked her before. The chill of the floor tiles crept up her heart, accompanied by waves of fear, a desperate fear.

  At this moment, Xie Yan had already been tied up by anger, and he pulled Qin Miao out of the guest room with a mixture of pulling and dragging.

  "Xie Xuan!" Qin Xiang suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards the door. Liao's mother saw that she was about to go crazy, so she quickly went forward and hugged her, holding her down tightly. This girl had been blinded by wealth and status, and couldn't listen to advice. If it could be said that Marquis Xie was a cold and unyielding master, then Qin Xiang was also someone who was as hard-hearted as iron, refusing to give up until she hit the wall and died.

  "Miss, Master Hou already knows. You should think about how to protect yourself now and stop having other wild ideas." Liao Yaoyao looked at the person in her arms who was already trembling with fear, and couldn't help but advise her.

  I know, I know everything...

  On the other hand, in the side hall of the main house, Xie Yan was staring at Qin Miao with a fierce gaze, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

  Just now, Xie Yun's hand was too strong and almost dislocated Qin Miao's wrist. As soon as they entered the room, Qin Miao bit him hard. Only then did Xie Yun feel pain and let her go.

  "What's wrong with you!" Qin Miao was furious as she massaged her wrist, the red mark was really eye-catching, making her even angrier.

  Xie Yan only then caught sight of the red mark on her wrist from his anger and felt a pang of sympathy: "Does it hurt?"

  "Nonsense! What kind of person is Lord Xie? Even a big worm in the mountains can kill one... Can't it hurt?"

  Xie Yan's eyes reddened as she thought of going closer to take a look.

  "Stay away! I'm afraid of you." What bad luck, being deceived and led here, only to run into a crazy Xie Yun. Just look at the pain in my wrist, it'll take several days before I can embroider flowers or do calculations again.

  She glared at him, and Xie Yun didn't dare to take another step forward, standing stiffly in front of her. However, the anger in his eyes still hadn't dissipated, so he heard himself say: "You've known for a long time that Qingxiang had been plotting against me... Why did you still let me make mistake after mistake, letting us misunderstand each other? If it weren't for those misunderstandings, perhaps we wouldn't have ended up like this..."

  "Haha, this is the reason you're getting angry. One mistake after another? When you brought her into our home back then, why didn't I see you thinking it was a mistake? If you hadn't gone to her room, how would she have had the chance to deceive you with a fake pregnancy? You slept with another woman and still have the face to blame me for not telling you the truth. Are you saying that I wasn't stupid or foolish enough back then?"

  It's not that Xie Zhen is the only one who gets angry, resentful. Speaking of which, among the three of them, who is more wronged than Qin Miao? It's simply a great injustice! Thinking about this, Qin Miao feels a chill in her heart, and the resentment that has been stagnant for a long time is viciously released from the dark place, like vines entwining her neck.

  "Yes, I welcomed her in, it was my own decision. But I...” Xie Yun thought to say that he didn't really remember if anything had happened between him and Quanxiang. There were only those two times when he woke up mysteriously on her bed, but he wasn't sure if anything substantial had occurred. At the time, he hadn't been too concerned about it; after all, even if something had happened, apart from feeling guilty towards Quanxiang, he didn't have any other burdens. But now that this issue had arisen, he began to care because it had clearly become a knot in Qin Miaoyi's heart. Before falling in love with Qin Miaoyi, whether or not there were women who truly cared about him was of no importance, but after falling for her, thinking back on his own possible past mistakes made him feel disgusted with himself.

  "You're sleeping with someone else and still trying to deny it?" Qin Miao couldn't help but sneer. "What's the point of saying anything good about you? Even if I wanted to make up with you, there's no need to cover it up so shamelessly. Do you think I'm that foolish to believe your sophistry?"

  As soon as the words fell, Qin Miao felt that everything today was really boring. The conversation was boring, and what Xie Yan was doing in front of her was also boring. She was so tired, why after many years, she still had to accompany them two here, reheating old rice, saying some completely meaningless words. What the truth was, she had long known. To uncover it again, for her, only had an indelible pain.

  "Whatever, you and her are none of my business. If you have anything to ask, go find Qingxiang yourself. I'm tired."

  One morning the flower blooms, for a moment it's entwined, but eventually there must be an end. She doesn't hate, but she resents. However, she is really powerless to stir up again the resentment hidden deep within her, fearing that she can't keep it under control, can't hide it well. Therefore, not mentioning, not discussing, not seeing each other, is the only way to be at peace.

  The person has walked to the door, a lonely and desolate thin figure, step by step away from himself. He is tired, once again speaking to himself in a low voice, not wanting to be entangled, not wanting to be tied down.

  Xie Xuan murmured softly, wanting to call out to her: "An Nuan..."

  Xie Xuan's feet paused slightly, and he looked up to calm his emotions. "Xie Xuan, you should also make a clean break with Qingxiang. This entanglement will ultimately harm both people." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked away in big strides until his figure disappeared into the warm spring's flying flowers and willows. Only then did Xie Xuan come back to his senses in confusion.

  He took out a brocade box from his bosom, silently stroking the subtle pattern on the box, and a tear fell, seeping into the wood grain. In the wooden box, a hairpin lay quietly, her hairpin. Hidden deep in his bosom for two years, but ultimately never given away.

  A man of the battlefield, with tears not easily shed. He quickly collected his thoughts, wiped away the crystal from his eyes, and again buried the hairpin in his chest, holding it tightly. With a swing of his step, he headed towards the guest room.

  Qin Miao, who had walked quickly and then broken into a run to get out of the mansion, was now hiding in the carriage, holding onto Yulu and crying. From silently shedding tears to softly sobbing, the more she thought about it, the more unbearable and wronged she felt, until finally, she buried her head on Yulu's shoulder and burst into heart-wrenching sobs.

  Who says she doesn't care about the past between Qin Xiang and him? She cares a lot, so much that she can't face herself. Who should she hate most? She should hate herself, Qin Miao, for being useless!
