Chapter 1

"Hoo Hoo!" The north wind rustled, and heavy snow fell in the air. As soon as the snow on the branches was blown off, it covered another layer in an instant.

At the door of Xunfu's firewood house, two women rubbed their hands and walked back and forth. One of them suddenly stopped and looked up at the crack in the door.

I saw a woman lying on a pile of rotten grass in the firewood house, and the woman shivered and shrank into a ball.

The woman felt pity and sighed, "she is a poor man in the end!"

"That's not her own sin!" The other woman stopped walking. She breathed into her palm. "It's getting colder and colder this day."

"Isn't it! It's colder this year than in previous years. This is Gu Yue!" The woman who spoke earlier should be in harmony. Her remaining light glanced at the people in the room again, "it's a pity that young lady is so young..."

Another woman cut her off: "what a pity, people like her are not worthy to be our young lady, let alone the hostess of Xun's house."

At this time, several people came across the moon gate not far away.

The leading man wore a dark blue cloak, a white robe inside, and an emerald jade pendant around his waist. The jade was crystal clear and flawless. His boots embroidered with cirrus patterns made a squeak on the snow-white ground.

At the door, the man looked sideways, raised his hand and gently brushed away a few snowflakes on his black hair. His action was very elegant.

The old servant next to him slowly put away his umbrella and stood quietly.

"Young master." The two women dared not look at the man directly. They saluted respectfully.

Xun Ziyu said coldly, "open the door."

"Yes!" One of the women took the order, took out the key at her waist and turned to open the door.

As the door opened, a gust of wind blew in, and the woman on the ground instinctively held her legs tighter, and kept whispering: "it's not me, I didn't kill the young master, no..."

Xunziyu walked through the door and smelled a damp and musty smell. He frowned and stretched out his white index finger under his nose.

"Jin'er!" He called softly.

Liu Jin smelled the speech, opened her wet, red and swollen eyes and looked at Xun Ziyu.

"Husband, you finally came to save my concubine." Liu Jin saw the visitor clearly and said excitedly.

With that, she got up eagerly and ran to Xun Ziyu.

Although she was only a few steps away from him, she felt thousands of miles apart.

She missed him day and night during her detention. Now that he came, why didn't she rejoice?

When she came to Xun Ziyu, she was excited and stretched out her hands to hold him.

Seeing this, Xun Ziyu flashed a touch of disgust on his face. He quickly stepped back.

Liu Jin stretched out her hand and held it empty. She wanted to complain about him, but when she saw the jade faced face and the flawless white robe, she smiled and took back her hand with some embarrassment.

She knows that he is a cleanliness addict. He loves cleanliness so much. Now she is covered with mud. How can she get close to him?

"But the husband let my concubine out?" She was puzzled when she saw Xun Ziyu standing there motionless, without any expression on her face.

Xunziyu shook his head: "No."

After hearing his words, Liu Jin trembled and said excitedly, "husband, why don't you believe me? I really didn't kill anyone."

"I know." Xunziyu pulled up slightly at the corner of his mouth and showed a wicked smile.

His smile made Liu Jin crazy. She never knew he would laugh like this.

But the laugh was ironic and stunned her.

"Since the husband knows, why don't you let my concubine out?" Liu Jin asked.

Xun Ziyu winked at the old servant next to him. The old servant took several others out and conveniently closed the door.

Xun Ziyu walked slowly towards Liu Jin and snorted: "because I don't want to put it!"

His voice is very nice, just like the melody played by the good guqin, low and magnetic, but his words are extremely cold, which makes Liu Jin's heart fall into the ice lake in an instant.

"Why?" Liu Jin's eyes were full of disbelief.

She really can't understand that the man in front of her has always regarded her as a treasure!

She has been married to him for three years. In these three years, their husband and wife have been in harmony and have strong feelings. Why did he suddenly become so indifferent?

Xun Ziyu stretched out his hand, squeezed Liu Jin's jaw hard and said with a sigh: "Liu Jin! Should I say you are simple? Or should I say you are extremely stupid? With your identity, why should Xiang'er give you an invitation!"

Liu Jin's face suddenly changed when she heard the word Xiang'er. She looked at Xun Ziyu in amazement and recalled what had happened a few days ago.

Her husband was originally a magistrate of Meiyuan county. He was praised by the imperial court for his meritorious service in dealing with the flood and came to the capital to wait for his post.

Three days ago, Qi Xiang, the daughter of the Qi family, sent an invitation to visit the plum blossom in the Qi family.

She knows the Qi house. How dare she not keep the appointment at the prime minister's residence today.

But unexpectedly, after she entered the house, she didn't see Qi Xiang at all, but was brought into a baby room by the servant girl.

She looked at the baby in the cradle and liked it very much. She couldn't help but want to hold it.

However, at this moment, the servant girl suddenly shouted that she had killed the baby, which stunned her.

Immediately, she was bound and brought to the prime minister. No matter how she explained, the prime minister didn't believe her words.

I thought the prime minister would execute her immediately, but I didn't want him to send her back to Xun's house.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin seemed to understand something. The whole person was paralyzed on the ground, and tears fell on the ground like broken pearls.

"It's you! You killed the young master." Liu Jin scolded Xun Ziyu with her fingers in horror and said sadly.

It turned out that all this was their conspiracy.

Xun Ziyu smiled coldly: "it seems that you are not too stupid."

After getting the definite answer, Liu Jin's heart was in pain and couldn't breathe.

"Xun Ziyu, you set me up for that woman." Liu Jin roared, "I've been so kind to you in recent years, but you... Bite the hand that feeds you. Xun Ziyu, you're not human. If I hadn't bought it for you and informed the government, how could you be..."

"Shut up. If you hadn't had some silver, you thought I would marry you?" Xun Ziyu interrupted Liu Jin and said coldly.

His words hit Liu Jin's heart like a heavy hammer, which made her almost spit out blood.

He married her just for money!

ha-ha! How silly of her to not notice it at all.

"Xun Ziyu, I'll bite you to death, you ungrateful fellow."

Liu Jin suddenly got up, grabbed Xun Ziyu's arm and bit it hard.

Xunziyu felt a pain in his hand, shook her off and threw her to the ground.

He looked at the tooth marks and blood stains on his wrist and said angrily, "Damn it! Are you tired of living?"

"Ha ha! You framed me just to let me die! When I die, can't you marry her? So you can step by step and become an official?" Liu Jin's mouth was full of blood and looked very ferocious.

She always knew that he was an ambitious man, but she didn't know that he would treat her like this.

Her heart really hurts, hurts... It hurts like a thousand arrows through her heart.

I suddenly remembered the sweet years in the past. With a bitter smile, I asked sadly, "have you ever been sincere to me?"
