Chapter 106 Surveillance
Xie Yin attentively picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Su Wan. Su Wan held the cup without looking up, but her little face was flushed.
Suddenly her hand loosened and the cup fell to the ground with a "bang". Su Wan fell asleep immediately.
"Madam Su!"
Xie Yin hurried to Su Wan's side and helped her up. He picked up the wine glass and tasted the contents. It was clearly fruit wine. It was impossible for her to suddenly pass out! He checked Su Wan's breath and pulse and felt that she seemed fine, but he was still worried.
"Someone come here!" Xie Yin roared.
Jingzhe stumbled over and said, "Young Master."
"Go find a doctor and have people round up everyone in the yard. Don't let anyone go!" Xie Yin's eyes were sinister, and Jingzhe shrank his neck in fear.
"Wait wait! What are you so nervous about!?"
Seeing Xiao Yucheng stamping his feet anxiously, Xie Yin frowned, "Why are you here? Is this a good thing you did?"
Xiao Yucheng scratched his forehead and whispered, "I just put some powder to make people fake drunken. It won't kill anyone."
He wanted to touch Su Wan's forehead, but Xie Yin slapped him away.
"Logically speaking, she should just be drunk, so how did she fall asleep? Did she drink too quickly and get drunk? You should drink this wine slowly, why are you in such a hurry? Did you bully her?" Xiao Yucheng said incoherently.
Xie Yin only heard Xiao Yucheng drugging them. He looked gloomy and asked, "What did you say? You drugged her?"
"I've noticed you've been feeling lovesick these past few days, and I thought if Madam Su got drunk, she might tell you the truth, so you can understand her feelings."
Seeing Xie Yin close his eyes and exhale, Xiao Yucheng quietly swallowed back the words "If there is no hope, let me do it!"
Xie Yin glared at Xiao Yucheng and immediately asked someone to prepare honey water to wake him up. He picked up Su Wan and was about to leave.
When passing Xiao Yucheng, he tilted his head and said, "Listen carefully, I will slowly make her accept me. If she doesn't want to, I won't force her. But if you keep using these boring methods, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xiao Yucheng shrank back in fear of the cold air. He turned around and looked at Xie Yin's back and asked, "What if she doesn't have any interest?"
Xie Yin paused, then said silently, "As long as she doesn't marry, I will always stay with her."
"What if he wants to get married?"
"If she doesn't do what she wants, I'll kill him!"
"What if she likes someone else?"
Xie Yin's expression froze. He pulled the person in his arms closer and turned to Xiao Yucheng, saying, "That's because I'm just not that lucky. I said I would protect her and no one could bully her. Also, please call her County Lady."
Xie Yin carried Su Wan out of the courtyard. It was already dusk, and if Su Wan didn't return, the Su family would be unhappy. He sent the servant accompanying Su Wan to inform the Su family that he would pack up and return another day. He then had the prepared items placed on the carriage.
He first asked someone to send the people outside away, and then he carried Su Wan into the carriage through the back door.
In the carriage, Su Wan drank honey water, and Xie Yin wiped her forehead with cold water. Su Wan woke up slowly but was still a little drunk.
Seeing that Su Wan was fine, Xie Yin's depressed mood dissipated a little. Looking at Su Wan's confused look, he laughed out loud.
"Thank you, Chief." Su Wan, lying on the couch, squinted her eyes and opened her mouth.
"Are you calling me? I'm here." Xie Yin put his ear close to Su Wan's mouth trying to hear more clearly.
"I, I don't hate you."
Xie Yin raised his eyelashes and his face turned slightly hot.
"I know."
Despite this, Xie Yin was still afraid, after all, he had been unfriendly to Su Wan in the past.
"You, you, you're fine."
Xie Yin's mouth curled up even higher, and the warm breath lingered around his ears, making him feel itchy and hot. He stood up and wanted her to pull the blanket, but Su Wan grabbed his arm.
Xie Yin staggered and knelt on one knee in front of Su Wan. Unexpectedly, Su Wan wrapped her hands around Xie Yin's neck to gain leverage and stood up, squinting her eyes as she stared at the person in front of her.
Xie Yin opened his mouth in astonishment, but at the same time, a hint of anticipation rose in his heart.
"Thank you."
"Thank you for what?"
Su Wan let go of her hand and shook her head. "Without you, I can't do anything. I can't save the Su family without the Zheng family."
Xie Yin knew he was being a bit shameless. Taking advantage of someone's vulnerability would only make her more defensive. So he helped Su Wan tidy up her hair and placed her hands under the blanket, saying gently, "It's your ability to make me willingly work for you. You deserve the best."
When the carriage arrived at Fang's house, the night was as dark as ink.
At this time, Su Wan had fallen into a deep sleep, so Xie Yin carried her directly into the house through the back door.
He walked all the way into the courtyard and came directly to the courtyard where Su Wan was currently living, but he stopped when Xie Yin entered the courtyard gate. Xie Yin looked straight at the person in front of him, it was Su Lin.
At this moment, Su Lin looked at Xie Yin, who was holding Su Wan, with a stern expression. He took a step forward and said, "My sister is always so impatient. Thank you so much, Chief."
So he reached out to take Su Wan, but Xie Yin had no intention of letting go.
Su Lin's expression darkened, "Thank you, Chief?"
"She was drunk and afraid of the wind. At night..."
"I know all this. I will take good care of my sister. Chief Xie, you should know your limits, right?"
Su Lin carried Su Wan away, and Xie Yin frowned and tucked the blanket around her.
Seeing that the man had no intention of leaving, Su Lin said in a deep voice, "Master Xie, do you have anything else important to say? If so, please talk to me."
Xie Yin sneered, "Only you?"
Su Lin realized that Xie Yin's attitude towards Su Wan was somewhat different and warned him, "Please don't get close to Wan'er anymore, otherwise it will only bring her greater harm."
"Hasn't the trouble you've brought her been enough?" Xie Yin refused to give in. "If you cherish her so much, yet only care about yourself when she's in the most difficult time, are you really her brother?"
Su Lin's face was tense. "Master Xie, you are not qualified to judge the friendship between my sister and me. Instead of wasting time, you might as well think about what your purpose is in getting close to Wan'er!" Then, he resolutely turned around and walked into the house.
As the door slammed shut, Xie Yin's eyes dimmed instantly. He stared blankly at the tightly closed window, his eyes filled with a thousand thoughts and complexities.
"Young Master." Cang Yi's voice brought Xie Yin back to his senses.
"I've checked, the person who proclaimed his gratitude to the county lady today is one of His Majesty's men." Cang Yi looked displeased.
Today, a group of refugees pretended to thank Su Wan, but in reality, they were testing or trying to alienate His Majesty from him and the other two. Therefore, Cang Yi was certain that it must be a member of the Yu family or the Wang family who was causing trouble. However, after verifying their identities, he discovered that they were actually His Majesty's men.
Cang Yi felt heavy-hearted. How many people in this world truly respected this emperor? The young master served him at his beck and call, yet he was filled with suspicion. Was this the mind of an emperor?
Xie Yin's sorrowful expression was instantly replaced by a gloomy haze. He explained some things to Liu Shang and then left the Fang residence. "Let's go find Shen Wenqin."
"So he is at Shen Wenqin's house now?"
"Yes."
Inside Chonghua Palace, a man in red tights knelt on the ground with his head lowered, reporting to Emperor Jing.
