Chapter 247

At that time, she just thought that they might have grown up together as childhood sweethearts and had a deep sibling relationship. She was also worried about her husband's affairs and didn't think much about it.

But now it seems that if it is not a relationship that we have grown up with, then what else could be the reason why such a cold and distant cousin pays so much attention to me?
Not to mention, she discovered that cousin Ji's eyes were looking at Wanwan in an unusual way.

The emotion of liking something can be conveyed through the eyes no matter how hard you try to suppress it.

Even if you have seen countless people and experienced hundreds of battles, you still cannot hide it.

…………

Although Xie Wan Ning did not completely believe Chen Xier's words, a seed of doubt remained in her mind.

After all, her cousin had grown up in an environment where she had to observe people's words and expressions and try to figure out men.

For her to say it so decisively, there must be something going on out of nowhere.

When he walked out of the room and saw two young men sitting opposite each other in the yard, he was startled again.

Perhaps it was because I had seen too many ordinary people in the past few months, and suddenly seeing such a beauty again made me a little dazzled.

At this moment, she resonated with Chen Xier's aesthetic.

Her cousin is indeed handsome.

He is still the kind of handsome man who looks like a gentleman at first glance.

But... thinking of what Chen Xier said, he felt somewhat uncomfortable. After glancing at Ji Chengfeng,

After packing up her belongings, Xie Wan Ning took Ma Po and two maids and left the small courtyard where she had lived for half a year, leaving only two cooks to look after the house.

That night, a welcoming banquet was formally held in the prefectural government.

At the same time in Xiangzhou City, inside the execution hall.

A middle-aged man was tied up with his hands and feet in a spread-eagle position on a rack and whipped. His clothes were torn and his head hung limply, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Not far away, Lu Ziyan was sitting on a chair, looking at this side. This person was Yu Cheng, the governor of Xiangzhou. It was also this person who dispatched two thousand elite soldiers, together with Jin Wuji, to secretly sneak into the capital and plan to kidnap Xie Wan Ning from the hot spring villa.

That night, flames shot up into the sky in the hot spring villa. Except for the three girls hiding in the secret room who were rescued, no one survived.

Such a tragedy happened under the feet of the emperor, and of course it shocked the capital and the outside world. Even after more than half a year, it still makes people sigh when it is mentioned.

And the culprit who caused this tragedy is right in front of us.

In Lu Ziyan's eyes, Yu Cheng was already a murderer of his wife, but his expression was calm at the moment.

It should be said that he has been very calm since returning to Beijing from the north.

He was very calm when facing the eldest prince and the second prince.

He was also very calm when facing the father and son of the Xie family, Zheng, his father-in-law and mother-in-law in his previous life, and his elder uncle.

Even when he met Pei Yuqing, whom he hated to the core, he did not call for fighting anymore. He could even look at the other person seriously, and there was even worry in his eyes.

It's like being afraid that the other person will die before you.

In short, the unruly, murderous and arrogant Lu Ziyan had completely died along with his fiancée.

Those who are alive are just zombies.

I can't get excited about anything.

For example, at this moment, the culprit was surrounded and fell into his hands, ready to be killed or chopped, but he didn't even have the desire to do it himself.

After watching for a while, and hearing the increasingly weak breathing over there, Lu Ziyan raised his hand and said, "Give him a bowl of ginseng soup, don't let him die too easily."

Yu Cheng is also a general who has guarded the border for many years. He is a man of iron will. Even though he has been tortured, he remains tough.

After drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, I even have the energy to curse.
