So Tie Hongyan said "Oh" first, and then said to Wu Xunsheng: "Go when you need to accompany Jian Rou."

He lowered his head and said, "Jian Yueyang asked me... asked me to go accompany her tomorrow. She has... told me the time." Then, hesitantly, he told Tie Hongyan the time. He felt very sorry because he would be with Jian Rou for too long the next day, which might delay him from doing some things. He thought: If the Acting Clan Leader says that the time is too long, I will try to explain the situation to Jian Yueyang tomorrow and ask her to return to Aoqian Palace as early as possible, and also ask for a shorter time next time.

Tie Hongyan felt that this period of time was very important to relieve his inner guilt and pain, so he said, "I understand, you go ahead."

"Actually... I should have spent more time helping you, but..." He only said half of it.

She immediately said, "I understand. You don't have to explain. I understand. I'll do whatever makes you feel better."

He looked into her eyes and said, "Thank you, Acting Chief!" At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had not yet asked her what she wanted to talk to him about, so he immediately asked, "By the way, what do you want to talk to me about today?"

Tie Hongyan had already decided not to ask him for help, so he said something else: "I just want to ask you what you think of Zhang Kezhou and Niu Guopei who suddenly appeared in the trial hall that day to testify.

Wu Xunsheng said: "I personally feel that the two of them were bribed."

"Who do you think bribed them?" Tie Hongyan asked.

After all, it was just a "feeling", so he didn't say it very bluntly. Instead, he looked into her eyes and said slowly: "You said... Elder Nie came to Ao Qian Palace to look for you..." Having said this, he didn't say anything else.

Tie Hongyan immediately understood what he meant, and also knew that he didn't want to say it clearly, so he said: "I understand. I have said everything I wanted to say to you. You look so tired, and you still have to accompany Jian Yueyang tomorrow, so you should go back and rest quickly."

"Yes." Wu Xunsheng said and left.

In fact, Tie Hongyan had long felt that it was Nie Huihou who bribed Zhang Kezhou and Niu Guopei. She asked Wu Xunsheng for his opinion at this time purely because she could not tell him what she wanted to tell him and was looking for a topic temporarily. She had long thought of using special methods to secretly communicate with Zhang Kezhou and Niu Guopei, but her subordinates told her that Zhang Kezhou and Niu Guopei had been hidden by Nie Huihou since they left the Guishen Hall with Nie Huihou. She understood that although it seemed that she could give orders to solve some problems on the surface, she was actually quite restrained and could not give orders easily. She knew that Nie Huihou held some power in his hands, and she was currently only the acting clan leader, not the clan leader. Without a convincing reason, she could not do anything to Nie Huihou for the time being, otherwise not only would Tie Wandao not forgive her after he came out of seclusion, but it would also be detrimental to her becoming the real clan leader in the future. On the day Nie Huihou went to find her, he told her that it would be better if the matter of Nie Yangwei was handled in a way that convinced everyone.

After Wu Xunsheng left, Tie Hongyan closed the door of the meeting room and immediately sat down at the table. She opened the document again, read it for a while, and then fell heavily on the table again. Just before she fell asleep, she pinched the tip of her left middle finger with her right hand, and then pinched the tip of her right middle finger with her left hand. She pinched them several times, raised her head, pressed the Fengchi acupoint with both hands, and then continued to read the document.
