Chapter 43: Scheming Beauty vs. Dark Minister 02
The fiancée's family is a rebel, but she is the only innocent one.

So his family had already been killed by Xie Huai'an, but his fiancée Chu Li was lost while fleeing from the famine, and he couldn't find her after searching for a long time.

But his family didn't know about this yet, and he didn't tell anyone. He just said that his family was in a hurry about his marriage, and because they hadn't replied to his letters, he asked Xie Huai'an to go and pick up his fiancée.

He was already worried about how to find someone to replace her. He hadn't seen his fiancée for several years and had no idea what kind of person to replace her.

But on the way back, he happened to see a woman being forced to jump off a cliff, and he felt pity for her. He was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs.

After hearing her name, he was stunned for a few seconds, feeling a little dazed, certain and unsure, with some doubt but also some belief.

So he took her home, saving him the trouble of finding someone to replace her. This way, he would accept her regardless of whether she was Hatsuri or not.

It was just that her words "Brother Huai'an" made him a little confused, but he still responded.

Xie Huai'an didn't know her identity, but as long as she had no other intentions, she could stay here.

If her intentions were not pure, sooner or later he would turn the blade against her.

Well, he is a disabled person, and getting married is no different from a task assigned by the emperor.

Xie Huai'an held her hand, pressed his whole body against her, and whispered in her ear: "Li'er, I have been looking for you for a long time. From today on, you are my fiancée."

But she put her arm around his neck and said in a very ambiguous tone: "Brother Huai'an, it's a good thing you're here."

Xie Huai'an looked at the woman under him, with a blush on her pink face. He touched her forehead again, thinking that she must have caught a cold from the wind on the way back.

Hatsuri also felt dizzy. This mission made her hover between life and death.

Suddenly, everything went dark and she passed out.

When she woke up again, Xie Huai'an was next to her.

She didn't want to wake him up, but she put a warm towel on her head, perhaps it was changed not long ago.

Chuli's legs were numb and she tried to move them, but she woke up the person next to her.

Xie Huai'an stared at her and said, "I have a mission today. When you wake up, drink this bowl of porridge."

Then he left, stopping at the door to look at her.

Only then did Hatsuri have the energy to walk out of the room.

She then realized that she was living in his mansion, and the house was empty, as if he was the only one there.

She walked across the yard, past the study, and came to his room.

Hatsuri was curious and walked in.

Just as she walked to the desk, there was suddenly a knife on her neck, and it was a sword pointing at her.

She turned around and looked at the man, tears immediately fell like rain, her eyes slightly red: "Brother Huai An, why are you pointing the sword at me?"

He just wanted to test her reaction.

Xie Huai'an felt sorry for Chu Li.

Just because he killed her entire family, at this moment he seemed not to want to investigate her identity anymore, and the woman was left crying.

He subconsciously reached out and hugged her, patting her back like coaxing a child: "Sorry."

"Want to go home with me?"

"Isn't this our home?" "I'm talking about the Xie Mansion."

A few days later, Chu Li followed him back to Xie's house. Everyone in the mansion was very curious, and everyone wanted to see what Master Xie's wife looked like.

Late at night, Xie's mother came to see her alone. Xie's mother was nearly 70 years old. Xie's father died on the battlefield in his early years, leaving her alone to raise Xie Huai'an.

"Li'er, your marriage was decided by Huai'an's father and your father in their previous life, but I have something I must make clear to you."

Chuli nodded and asked, "Mother, you say."

"Huai An was diagnosed by the imperial physician as having some problems with his lower body since he was young. I am afraid that you will be childless after marriage. Many people are prejudiced against Huai An because of this. His position is somewhat special. As an official in the court, he is in a high position and has great power. No one dares to say anything to him. So it's good that you are here. I hope you can make him an emotional person."

Sometimes, after pretending to be weak and delicate for too long, Hatsuri almost thought that she was such a person.

She held Mother Xie's hand and said firmly: "Don't worry, mother. Brother Huai'an saved my life, and I will definitely repay him. If it weren't for him, I might have been a corpse under the cliff. Don't worry, mother. With me here, I will make sure that Brother Huai'an no longer suffers from the strange eyes of others."

Xie's mother was deeply moved when she heard this.

The next morning, Xie Huai'an went to pay a visit to the emperor early. Hearing that the ministers in the court had opinions about the emperor's approach, Xie Huai'an went to sort things out.

Chu Li stayed in the mansion by herself. Besides Xie's mother, there was also an aunt and her daughter.

The woman had admired Xie Huai'an since she was a child.

Now he is furious to learn that his fiancée has returned.

While the whole table was having breakfast, the eldest aunt said sarcastically: "A disabled person can still get married? Our Xie family has Xie Huai'an, who is destined to be the last one to come out, but we have such a useless person. It's really shameful!"

These words were undoubtedly spoken to Hatsuri.

Her daughter refuted her words: "Mother! I told you! You can't say that about Brother Huai An. Didn't the imperial physician say that this disease can be cured? We just haven't found a prescription yet."

"Trash is trash, there's nothing to hide. I feel ashamed to hear gossips all day long when I go out!"

Xie's mother had long been accustomed to such remarks from her. It was true that her son was infertile, but she felt very uncomfortable being humiliated like this for years.

She looked at Chu Li, feeling somewhat apologetic in her heart. What woman wouldn't want to have a child with her husband?

"Aunt, you have benefited a lot from Brother Huai'an in the past few years, right? Have you ever thought about calling me a waste? You are still in this mansion. If you are not from this mansion, you can try. How will people outside treat you?"

These words seemed to shut up the aunt.

She slammed the table in anger: "You are a newcomer, what qualifications do you have to say that to me? Who are you? You don't really think that you can point fingers at me and rise to the top overnight just by marrying Xie Huai'an? Xie Huai'an really married a good wife. You dare to shout like this on the first day you come here. I'm afraid that our whole family will have to listen to you in the future?"

Hatsuri was about to retort but was interrupted.

"What if I say yes?"

A warm, low voice sounded. Chu Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xie Huai'an wearing official ornaments on his head and dark purple court robes. He had an upright posture and a beautiful jade pendant dangling from his waist.

It exudes a dark and luxurious aura.

"If I say that she should be the one who makes the decision, what will the eldest aunt do? I didn't know that the eldest aunt was making things difficult for my fiancée behind her back."

This plot should be quick. I got inspiration from those short plays. When I opened the new dimension, I was worried that no one would watch it. We are about to enter the third round of PK.
