Chapter 63: Unofficial Secret Guard (13)

"Your subordinate——"

Xie Fengye was so excited that he almost said the wrong name.

He quickly changed his words and expressed his loyalty with a smile:
"I am willing to follow my master forever. Wherever my master is, I will be there."

Lin Ran's feeling that something was wrong became even stronger.

It was as if... the person who vaguely existed in the memory fragment ran out.

She would not have any aversion to his approach, but would be easily moved.

Forget it, let’s just leave it like this for now. We still have a long time to spend together in the future anyway!
"In that case, when you recover from your injury, we will leave the capital together."

Pleased by the word "together", Xie Fengye nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The night is getting darker.

After arranging a place for Xie Fengye to stay and recuperate, Lin Ran returned to her room to rest.

I thought that my heart was somewhat agitated and I might be so active that I couldn't sleep.

Unexpectedly, she fell asleep quickly while lying there.

The inconspicuous incense smoke in the room was faint, almost unnoticeable, but everywhere.

The air was filled with a faint fragrance, floating silently in the room.

A nimble black figure flipped in from the open window and landed lightly on the ground. The only remaining faint candlelight dimly illuminated his angular face.

Xie Fengye gently closed the window, walked straight to the bed with a very purposeful look, and sat down slowly.

He stared straight at the woman sleeping on the bed, his narrow eyes as dark as ink, with a hint of paranoia.

It was the first time that Xie Fengye broke into a woman’s bedroom at night and prepared to do something bad, and his heart was beating fast.

Even when he was on the verge of death, his heartbeat had never been so nervous.

a long time.

He leaned over, placed his hands on either side of the woman's neck on the bed, and looked at her sleeping face more carefully.

"Master, I don't want to be so perverted..."

He lowered his voice, his voice hoarse.

"But what can I do? I have endured it for so long in the palace, and now I really can't bear it anymore."

The man who knew that he was despicable had dark eyes and his Adam's apple rolled again and again.

Finally, he slowly lowered his head.

On the bed curtains, the flickering candlelight reflected the shadows of two heads pressed against each other.

……

For several nights.

Lin Ran felt that she fell asleep very quickly.

I slept very comfortably, almost all night long.

After waking up, I felt that Xie Fengye was staring at me for a longer time.

She felt that she didn't have a secret guard who could protect her, but a pervert who only stared at her. The long-awaited secret guard with high martial arts skills turned into a pervert as soon as he came to her side. Lin Ran felt very complicated.

Finally, when the wounds on Xie Fengye's body scabbed over, Lin Ran planned to take him out to sell assets. As a result, two uninvited guests appeared in the usually deserted courtyard.

"Sister Ran, who is this?"

The beautiful woman who was dressed up pointed at Xie Fengye who was standing next to Lin Ran in black and asked in great surprise.

Lin Ran thought for a long time before she realized that the beautiful woman was her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and the one who followed her was her half-brother Lin Deyi.

She had been back for half a year, and this was the first time these two had set foot in her yard. It was hard not to think that they came here for no reason.

Then there is no need to be polite. Lin Ran said directly: "Aunt, please tell me what you want to talk to me about. I am in a hurry to go out."

Aunt Zhao felt even more anxious, and her tone was a little fierce: "You little girl, you haven't answered me yet, how come there is a man from outside your yard?!"

For fear of being seen by others, Aunt Zhao grabbed Lin Ran's arm and tried to drag her into the yard.

At this moment, a slender and powerful hand separated Lin Ran from him. A tall figure stood in front of him and drew a sword from his waist, his eyes gloomy and sharp.

Aunt Zhao and Lin Deyi shrank back in fear and took two steps back unconsciously.

"you you……"

Whether a person is truly cruel or just pretending to be cruel can be felt when you really face him.

Aunt Zhao and Lin Deyi could feel that the lives of him and his son were like ants in the eyes of this man, and he looked like a killing machine. If they didn't know what was going on, he would really kill them with a knife without blinking an eye!
Lin Ran held down Xie Fengye's hand that was drawing the sword, and walked forward, acting innocently: "Auntie, he is my secret guard, specializing in protecting my safety. Is there any problem?"

Xie Fengye looked at the back of his hand that had just been touched, and his eyes gradually warmed up.

He certainly wouldn't take action in the Lin residence and make his master appear unfilial.

But it is his responsibility to scare people and stop someone from offending his master by taking advantage of the grace of his birth and raising him!

"Forget it!" Aunt Zhao saw that the threat to her life was lifted, so she didn't bother to care... No, she didn't dare to care where Lin Ran got such a terrifying secret guard from.

"Brother Yi and I came here this time because we have something important to tell you. It concerns your lifelong happiness!"

Lin Ran glanced at Lin Deyi, who had remained silent throughout the entire process, puzzled:

"What important matter could affect the lifelong happiness of my brother and me at the same time?

Auntie, you're not going to pair me up with my brother, are you? !

Such unethical behavior would never be done if we had any regard for the reputation of our Lin family!"

Lin Deyi's face turned a little dark, and he finally said the first sentence after entering the yard:

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. I'm deeply in love with my fiancée. Don't ruin my reputation."

Love-brained brother?
Or is she just keen on creating an image of a loving wife?
Lin Ran raised her eyebrows slightly, having absolutely no interest in dealing with her brother who was still an immature teenager.

She turned to Aunt Zhao, not wanting to smile so she didn't put on a fake smile, "Aunt, we adults should not interrupt, just tell us what the big deal is!"

Aunt Zhao was originally very angry after hearing what Lin Ran said, and suspected that Lin Ran deliberately said such shocking words to anger her.

But when she heard what her son said, Aunt Zhao's mind suddenly lit up. She thought that Lin Ran might have been sent back by the emperor because she couldn't give birth to a child, and her reputation was ruined, which led to mental disorder, so she was talking nonsense!
This...what should I do?

If you get rejected again after marrying again, it will be very difficult to marry into a better family again!
Aunt Zhao cleared her throat and looked like she was doing this all for Lin Ran's benefit:
"Sister Ran, since you have never been out of the house, you may not know that, to this day, there are already several women who have been concubines of the emperor like you and have received marriages granted by the emperor, as well as the blessings and rewards of the empress.

Sister An, who married General Wu, was once promised by the emperor. She was the first one to receive the emperor's marriage granting. Now the fetus in her belly is four months old, and she is pregnant with twins!
This morning, the Shufei, who was once one of the four concubines, was also granted marriage by the emperor to become the second wife of a third-rank official who had been without a wife!
Others can remarry, and our sister Ran is as talented and pretty as any noble lady in the capital, so naturally she can remarry with honor!"
