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

Yun Bixue held a cup of milk with both hands, looking a little dazed.

“What are you thinking about?”

Yun Bixue shook her head. “In the past, I never thought that Qin Huailing would have such an ability. No one would have thought of it, right? The Qin family could actually fight against the Yuan family. Look at what happened now. Actually, everything is possible. This time, the noble families in Ning An City are going to be famous.”

“It’s Ning An City that will become famous. The Qin family’s status surpassed the Yuan family in a short period of time. He gave me a call yesterday and told me that he is preparing to move the Qin family to the capital.”

Yun Bixue turned to look at Xie Limo. “You agreed?”

“I did. Isn’t spring a time where everything starts anew? Furthermore, there are many vacant positions in the political scene now. The civil service examinations will be open soon as well.”

Yun Bixue had already prepared for the upcoming civil service examinations since last year. Many of the low-income students she had sponsored could use this chance to prove their potential.

Yun Bixue rubbed her palms together a little as she thought about it.

“Limo, tell me, will the matters in the capital be resolved soon? Will we be returning to the headquarters after that?”

Xie Limo’s expression changed a little as a cold aura emanated from his body.

“Limo?”

“Hmm? What did you say?”

“I’m asking if we’re going to go back to the headquarters soon.”

Xie Limo lowered his head and gave Yun Bixue a warm look. “Yeah, we are going back pretty soon. The milk must be cold now, right? You keep holding it in your hand without drinking it. I’ll warm it up again for you.”

“It’s still warm. It’s not cold.”

After the Yuan family collapsed, Yuan Shuangrui went a little crazy in jail. She would cry and laugh to herself occasionally. No one knew what she was thinking about.

No one came to see her at all. It was as though many people had forgotten about her.

Yuan Shuangrui knew that she did not have much time left. She would likely be sent to the gallows after a few days.

As crazy as she was, she still hoped that someone would come to see her before her death. Even if it was just a short chat, she wanted to use it to vent all her anger and grievances.

On the last day, when she was to be executed by shooting, Qin Huailing came to see her.

“Someone is here to see you.”

Yuan Shuangrui stood up immediately and tried to smoothen her hair and fix her clothes.

“Hurry up.”

Yuan Shuangrui was ushered out. When she saw Qin Huailing standing beyond the window, her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

“You… You can stand?” Yuan Shuangrui’s voice was trembling in shock.

Qin Huailing narrowed his cold eyes as he said, “It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? I can actually stand. Everything that you had painstakingly schemed came down to nothing.”

Yuan Shuangrui gaped in shock. After a moment, she regained her composure as she stuttered, “You… have always been pretending?”

“If I didn’t, how would I be able to survive the assassination you arranged that time?!”

Seeing the coldness and disgust in Qin Huailing’s eyes, Yuan Shuangrui’s heart clenched. “I treated you like that, and you still came to see me?”

She did not know why she was acting like that. Perhaps because she was about to die, she forgot about power and personal interests and could finally understand what she felt in her heart.

“Yuan Shuangrui, when we met a few years ago in Ning An City, didn’t I treat you well? You actually colluded with Aunt Qin to kill me after that.”

Yuan Shuangrui’s body stiffened. A few years back, she was still a teenage girl. Thinking about it made her fall into a bit of a trance. “Qin Huailing, you’re too naive. I am a child of the Yuan family, so nothing can compare to the interests of my family. It was just nice that you took a liking to me, so I became someone useful.”
