Chapter 231 Husband, do I have a grudge against you? (Second Update)
Yelu Yan finished speaking and saw Li Xianyun gently nod her head.
She was so well-behaved and serene, so delicate and vulnerable, it made him want to let things take their own course, to bully her without restraint.
Malicious thoughts circled in his mind again, and his longing for Li Xianyun grew more blatant.
Yelu Yan forced himself back to the matter at hand and began recounting the day’s events to Li Xianyun.
"Xianxian, the reason your husband returned late today is because he was delayed in pursuing bandits."
Li Xianyun had already learned about the bandits’ rampant evil deeds from Huye’s wife.
Yelu Yan looked down at the woman in his arms and continued, "Tianshui County is on the frontier, surrounded by vast Gobi deserts, offering the bandits their opportunity. Wherever the bandits pass through, lives are devastated, and the people cannot sustain their living. Your husband must eradicate them. Today, I led men to follow the few clues we had to find traces of the bandits. We caught a few scattered bandits, but they bit their own tongues and committed suicide."
Li Xianyun looked up in surprise at the tall and handsome man before her, "These people are so ruthless, they’re not like ordinary bandits."
"Exactly, someone is using the identity of the bandits to plot a conspiracy."
Li Xianyun tried her best to suppress the worry in her heart, not wanting to pass these emotions on to Yelu Yan, "Husband, you must be careful in everything."
