Rich Young Mistress: Young Master Xie’s Dearest Beloved Wife

Hearing that statement, one person said in frustration. “It’s just popularity. What’s so good about that?”

“I know, right? There’s something fishy about this. We hid it so carefully, but it still leaked out. Now everyone treats him like a person who has rendered great service.”

“Actually, Xie Limo should not be here. I thought he will never return from his trip to Gui County.”

“You can’t say such things. Ever since his return, there has been no peace in the capital. So many of the officials in the parliament have been fired. Don’t you find it suspicious?”

“Who do we suspect? Him?”

“Don’t be so loud. Even walls have ears. I don’t think he’s capable of doing it. However, even if he doesn’t get off his high horse, we still have to beg him to go to work, or else we won’t be able to explain ourselves to the imperial family.”

“What do you guys think? What is his Majesty Kang thinking?”

“Do not attempt to guess what His Majesty is thinking. Gui County is a lesson for us.”

“We know…”

The six of them walked as they complained.

However, the words from the six of them were naturally heard by someone, who reported them to Young Master Xie.

Xie Limo was placing the dishes on the table as he listened to the report from his cell phone. A cold glint flashed across his magnificent eyes as he said, “Alright. Continue to keep an eye on them and check who they come into contact with.”

“I understand.”

After listening to the report, Xie Limo’s slender fingers tapped on the table as he fell into deep thought.

Yun Bixue heard the report too since Xie Limo wasn’t hiding it from her—the phone was in loudspeaker mode.

“Limo, do you think Majesty Kang had the intention to kill you?”

Xie Limo shook his head. “I have no idea as well.”

“Even if he had no intention of killing you, he did put pressure on them. People who are loyal to him will definitely second-guess his intentions. It doesn’t matter whether our deduction was correct or wrong. In the end, he did send assassins after you, and you did land those people behind bars. No matter what, we can no longer support Majesty Kang.”

Xie Limo listened to Yun Bixue’s words and locked his gaze deeply with hers, as though he wanted to say something.

Yun Bixue’s heart thumped at the serious look on his face and asked, “Limo, why are you looking at me like that?”

Xie Limo stretched his hand and held Yun Bixue’s in his own. “Xue, I wish to tell you something, but telling you might increase the burden you have to bear. However, I’ve thought through it. Hiding many things from you stresses you out as well.”

Hearing Xie Limo’s words, Yun Bixue nodded. “Limo, we are married, so we should support one another. I would be happy if I can share your burden.”

Xie Limo was touched by Yun Bixue’s words. The hand that was holding onto hers tightened. “Xue, I’m so grateful to have met you. Now that I have you by my side, my life has become meaningful.”

Seeing that Xie Limo was about to talk, Yun Bixue quickly moved a chair to his side so that they wouldn’t be speaking at opposite sides of the table.

“I will sit beside you, so you can tell me secretly.”

At first, Xie Limo had a heavy heart, but seeing Yun Bixue’s actions, his expression softened considerably. He said, “Xue, when I came to Country A, my original objective is to aid the puppet king so that everything will fall into the Xie family’s hands.”

Hearing those words, Yun Bixue revealed a startled expression, and her eyes widened.

This was a new generation, and they were no longer under a dictatorship rule. A puppet king… It was something from thousands of years ago.

Yun Bixue opened her mouth but snapped it close when she did not know what to say. Her expression turned graver and graver.

Even if she was startled, she would listen patiently to Xie Limo. Even if it was hard to believe, she would accept it.
