C65 (1/2)

She pondered for a long time before saying seriously, ”This is the only time. There won't be a next time.”

Xie Heng sat opposite to her, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, ”What are you saying?”

This young man still had an expression of 'it's none of my business', and his face was filled with grievance.

Wen Jiu gently held his hands under his sleeves, and stayed silent for a moment.

Although Xie Heng treated her quite well, he did not forget how shocking his thunderous methods were when he became the Regent in his previous life.

The sound of carriages being sold could be heard as they passed through the long street.

Xie Heng's gaze stayed on her and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed: Could it be that the scene just now disgusted the Miss Wen?

This really wasn't something that could be recovered in a short period of time.

Wen Jiu thought for a while, then said: ”Yang Qin is the daughter of the Royal Elder, and she has died in the Duke Palaces. Even though there were a lot of people who came to the birthday banquet, it was not as if they didn't suspect their eldest brother. ”Such a great show …”

She paused for a moment, trying her best to be tactful. ”It's better if I don't have to worry about it in the future.”

After Xie Heng heard this, a bad feeling arose in his heart. He asked softly: ”Are you so sure that this matter was done by me?”

”Could he still be a Third Brother?”

Wen Jiu asked.

Third Young Master had not appeared during these few days, so it was hard to say whether or not he was still in Dijing. If this matter was to be blamed on him, it would be too unfair.

Xie Heng lowered his eyes and remained silent.

The carriage fell into silence.

Wen Jiu said with a stern expression: ”Elder brother is a great man who stands at the top of the world. Even if it is only the shrewdness of the city, we should still use it on the grand occasion of the imperial court.

These Shangguan daughters were mostly spoiled until their heads were dizzy, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, it all depended on their status.

Wen Jiu had always been outside of the main branch in his previous life, so he didn't interact much with this kind of people. However, he knew that these women's schemes and methods weren't inferior to men in the slightest.

She softened her voice and said, ”Eldest Brother, you mustn't let this dark thoughts of mine haunt you for a hundred steps and ruin your character.”

In his previous life, Xie Heng's reputation was not good. Even though his battle achievements were outstanding, his curses were praised even higher.

In the past, she was an outsider, so it naturally didn't matter.

But now, it was completely different. Wen Jiu thought that his life would be smoother, even if he could only make some small changes.

Xie Heng looked at her, his eyes shining without a trace of darkness.

Wen Jiu felt a lot more comfortable after saying these words, but he was afraid that if he said too much, it would displease Xie Heng and his expression couldn't help but become a little tense.

The teenager smirked and replied with a low voice, ”Okay.”

Wen Jiu heaved a sigh of relief.

It made sense just like that?

Her elder brother was rather easy to talk to.

Outside the carriage, a group of blue guard s that were secretly following the carriage discussed in disbelief, ”Has our Young Master been taught a lesson by the Young Madame?”

”It seems that maybe, that's it?”

”I see that young master's lesson has been quite comfortable …”
