The next morning, Xie Jie came to guard her. He really liked Wei Lan as an ally.
Altrgough Wei Lan feels too lazy to deal with him, but in order to keep the other side from getting suspicious, it is almost like Xie Jie said what is what. [1]
After secretly observing for a while, Wei Lan determined that Xie Jie did not seem to know that the family elders were involved in this matter, and Xie Zichen did not seem to have reported the matter to the Xie family elders.
As for the reason, she guessed it was because of the strict rules of the Xie family.If Xie Zichen reported it, he would have to explain why he returned so late. The patriarch would not go to great lengths to investigate the killer for a bastard[2] like him, and he would only cause trouble for himself if he reported it.
After playing with Xie Jie for a month,Xie JIe finally informed her of the time to do it.
“The day after tomorrow will be the usual spring hunting party of the aristocratic family, and basically everyone will attend.At that time, I will send someone to put a poisonous needle in his horse’s shoe first. If he falls to disability, it would be good. In case he avoids it, I will personally lead him to the outskirts of the city, and then you will send someone to pretend to be a horse bandit and snatch him away!”
“Horse bandits?” Wei Lan raised her eyebrows,”You’re asking my private soldiers to pretend to be horse bandits?”
“Brother Lan, don’t be angry.” Xie Jie saw that Wei Lan seemed a little displeased, and hurried forward to comfort him,” Pretending to be a horse bandit, we can stay away from this matter, and it will be much more complicated to investigate.”
“If it is to disguise as a horse bandit, why not just wait until he goes to the outskirts of the city?”
“Brother Lan doesn’t know,” Xie Jie said seriously, “Xie Zichen is cautious and hardly ever goes to remote places alone, so it’s very difficult to find the time to strike. this spring hunt is the only way to make him leave the team on his own initiative.”
“Why?” Wei Lan couldn’t help being a little curious, how could there be so many thoughts in Xie Jie’s head?
Xie Jie smiled faintly and sighed,”The hero is sad for the beauty[3] Only at the time of spring Hunting, Miss Wang is allowed to step out. If she encounters dangers, do you think Xie ZIchen will be able to restrain himself from saving her?
“Miss Wang?” Wei Lan was stunned, feeling like she had never heard of such a character. Xie Jie sat down cross-legged and poured himself a glass of wine and said, “The fourth lady of the Wang family, Wang Wanqing, is the fiancée of the fourth brother You don’t know, my fourth brother has a deep affection for the young lady of the Wang family. Back then Miss Wang was just scolded by someone, and my fourth brother beat up a Di son until his face was covered in blood, and he came home and received twenty lashes.”
Hearing this, Wei Lan was really astonished.
Xie Zichen had a fiancée who was engaged to him! How come no one told her?!!
Although she was a bit flirtatious, she never touched a man who had an owner. She has morals and standards!
Thinking about this, and her expression slowly sank.
However, since she had already discussed with Xie Zichen, breaking up the stage[4] at this moment would be treachery, and she couldn’t do it.
To think she put in so much effort, all to to help someone else’s man.
But Wei Lan is not a person who eats this kind of loss. She couldn’t help but feel bored in her heart.
