Xue Lin calculated well, and Li Zhi returned to Beiguan the next day. But before Xue Lin could see him, he came to the Governor's Mansion first. Xue Lin's arm was still hanging. Mingyi followed Doctor Chen's orders and let him recover from his injuries at home. Governor Xue kept his word and let Mingyi "control" him. It was rare for him to stay at home obediently. Even meetings were held only in the study room in the outer courtyard. After Li Zhi came to the house, he was led to the study room in the outer courtyard, and Songfeng quickly walked into the inner courtyard to report. When Xue Lin arrived at the study, Li Zhi was casually looking at the study, which was very different from a few months ago. He turned around after hearing the noise, looked at Xue Lin and smiled meaningfully, "It seems... this Princess Yun'an is a capable person, so she can make a cold-faced murderer like you treat her differently!" Xue Lin smiled and sat down on the chair, "Master, please sit down and drink tea first?" As he said that, he poured a cup of tea with one hand and pushed it to the opposite side. Li Zhi was not polite to him. After sitting down, he picked up the cup of tea and tasted it, "Well... this is the best Yuqian Longjing. Madam, you are quite heroic!" "Master... this is the Governor's Mansion!" Xue Lin felt helpless. "This is your Dudu's Mansion! It's not like I've never been to your Dudu's Mansion before. When have you ever served me such a good tea? Besides, don't I know you? This tea is not cheap, even if you have the money. If you buy it, I’d rather keep it to add more horses or crossbows to the army!” Xue Lin reluctantly raised her lips, "Everything Master said is right! My father-in-law prepared this tea for Madam. Madam has only been in Beiguan for half a year, and this is the fourth time she has brought it. I know Master likes it, so I told Madam , let her come out evenly, I originally wanted to take her with me when I went to see the master, but who knows that the master is here, so I will take it with me soon!"
"Although it is a bit shameless for you to ask your wife for something, but being too polite between husband and wife is not a good thing. It is good to be so shameless. For the sake of your filial piety, I am my teacher. It would be disrespectful to refuse." Li Zhi was obviously in a very good mood and said with a smile. Xue Lin also held the corners of his lips from beginning to end. Even when Li Zhi later talked about business with him, there was an indescribable softness in his usual coldness. When Mingyi heard that Li Zhi was coming, she made a special trip to the kitchen and told him to prepare lunch according to Mr. Li's usual preferences. Then she went back to the room and stayed for a while. Seeing that it was almost noon, she guessed that Xue Lin and Li Zhi were about the same. After she finished speaking, she changed into a dress suitable for meeting guests and went to the outer courtyard. Wei Yu looked at her back and said with a slight twinkle in her eyes. Madam was so solemn. It seemed that the Mr. Li who came to visit today was a person. Mingyi arrived at the door of the study room in the outer courtyard. Since Li Zhi was inside, she did not go in as usual. Instead, she asked Songfeng to inform her first, and then Songfeng took Xue Lin's orders and came out to lure her. Only then can you enter. Entering the study in a familiar manner, Mingyi raised her eyes and looked at the low couch by the window. Xue Lin was facing the door, raising his eyes and gently curling his lips towards her. Mingyi chuckled in response, and her eyes fell on the back of the person sitting with his back to her. He was wearing an azure straight coat, and his gray hair was tied on top of his head with a wooden hairpin. His waist was straight, and he could be seen from the back. When I went up, I could only feel the energy in the clear water, but I couldn't see anything else. Xue Lin stood up and came to greet her. She also smiled and took steps toward him. Li Zhi, who had his back to her, slowly turned around and suddenly met those eyes with a smile on his face. For a moment, Mingyi was in a trance. Thinking this was a dream, her feet suddenly stopped. The face in front of her suddenly faced a face with blood and flesh, and everything she saw fell apart before her eyes. In a trance, she was in that gorgeous palace again, like a cage, with the smell of wine and blood inside. The taste is mixed and disgusting. Wei Xuanzhi half-hugged her from behind, grabbing her hands and holding a bloody sword tightly. The sword had just been sent into the chests of the two palace maids, "Jiaojiao, come and try too! You can live or die." The taste is addictive, Jiaojiao, give it a try, and you will like it after you try it." Wei Xuazhi chuckled in her ear, but the laughter made the hairs on her body stand on end, making her hair stand on end. "No..." She shook her head stiffly, listening to herself shout out a word with trembling lips, as thin as a mosquito, without any strength, Wei Xunzhi's cold and sticky palm, like the belly of a snake, tightly grasped her hand , took the sword and sent it forward—— The long sword went straight into the chest of Gong E, who was kowtowing desperately but couldn't even cry out for mercy except "Ahhh". The sound of the sharp blade penetrating the flesh still rang in her ears, and the blood spattered on her face, with bits of fishy stench and burning heat. The look in the eyes of Gong E, who was instantly killed by the sword, looked at her before she died, as if she was making a silent accusation. You executioner... Wei Xuanzhi's weird laughter could be heard in her ears. Her eyes widened and her stomach was churning. His hand was still on the back of her neck, and he looked at her with scarlet eyes, "My Jiaojiao is indeed That's great. I really love you more and more day by day. I can't leave you for a moment. You said... what should I do? It seems that Jiaojiao doesn't leave me even if she takes a step back. We will live or die. Don't leave, okay?" After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her hard, but Mingyi couldn't hold back the nausea anymore, pushed him away with all her strength, and spat out with a "wow". Opening his exhausted eyes, he saw a person who looked like a rag bag thrown on the ground at the entrance of the palace, and this face, which was exactly the same as before him, but it was familiar yet unfamiliar at the time. It was not the young and energetic appearance that she deliberately forgot, but could not forget. She looked even older. His eyes looking at her were full of despair. He struggled and twisted on the ground, and screamed at Wei Xunzhi with his mouth wide open. He was holding something, but there was a piece of cloth tightly tied in his mouth. He tried his best, but all he could make was an indistinct and weird scream. Wei Xuanzhi didn't seem to mind at all that she had vomited under his kiss just now. He came forward, still holding his hand firmly on the back of her neck, and turned her head forcefully so that she could see the person at the door. To be more clear, "Jiaojiao, do you know this person?" She opened her eyes blankly at that time, and her heart was empty. Before she could react, Wei Xuuzhi's laughter came again in her ears. His hand gently touched her cheek, making her tremble all over. "It's been so long." It doesn't matter if Jiaojiao doesn't recognize him. After all, how old were you when he left! It's okay not to recognize him. It's the right thing to not recognize him. Jiaojiao, that's your father... the one who abandoned you back then. You and your mother, the man who disappeared without a trace as soon as he left, I caught him back and asked him to kneel in front of you and apologize to you. Are you happy or unhappy?" She couldn't say anything, she just looked at the bloody man on the ground with an almost numb expression, and that face and the eyes full of pain and despair were deeply etched in her mind. "Jiaojiao, it's okay. What's your relationship with him? He's just your biological father in name only. But since he was able to leave you behind, now he comes to me to show off the deep love between father and daughter, and he even boasts that he wants to take you away. You... Jiaojiao, do you hate him? It's very simple, come on..." Wei Xuazhi smiled softly, put the sword into her hand again, and pulled her to the man. While pulling her tightly and raising the sword, he leaned close to her ear and smiled slyly, "Jiaojiao, just like I taught you just now, aim at his heart and thrust the sword inward." Send...all the love and hate, it's all over. Look, how painful it is for him. Anyway, he also gave birth to you, so you just help him and let him get rid of it! It's also your final death. This act of filial piety has sealed your fate as father and daughter, don't you think so, Jiaojiao?"
"No, it's not..." She shook her head desperately and struggled hard, but she couldn't break free from Wei Xunzhi's grasp. "Come on, Jiaojiao! Come on..." Wei Xuazhi clasped her hand tightly and pushed the sword in her hand forward.
