"Did I say something wrong?" Xie Xun turned around without any hesitation.
Xie Chen punched him on the shoulder, "You're right, but for backbiting me and my eldest brother, we deserve a beating!"
After Prince Guangling snorted in disgust, he called Chen Anning and said, "Let's go and ignore these brats!"
Chen Anning responded with a smile and followed him.
The eldest princess and Princess Tongchang have already left, and Princess Guangling is waiting for them in Qingyuntang.
Hearing the laughter and approaching, she stood up and went to the door, and asked Prince Guangling who came into the room: "Has everything been resolved?"
"What can be solved?" King Guangling entered the room and said, "The emperor has disliked him for a long time, and he has urged me to demote him not ten times, but eight times. Many adults in the court came to me in private to complain. It's not just once or twice that his granddaughter is said to be overbearing and bullying. I couldn't say it to him before because of such things, so I kept holding back. Today he bumped into her, so don't blame me."
It's already noon, and it's time to have lunch soon. Princess Guangling asked her maid to prepare some fruits and snacks, and then beckoned Chen Anning to sit next to her, and then said: "You have to make it clear to him later, don't let him blame Anning for the demotion. "
King Guangling said 'hmm'.
"Only he can do it for a man who is several decades old and kneel down in public to intimidate a junior." Xie Chen disdainfully said, "That means the old man is soft-hearted and lets me take care of him when his granddaughter is bullying the third child. Just let him go wherever it was cool."
Xie Qian said gently: "Master Wen knelt down in the street to intimidate his younger brothers and sisters. The old man has to bear a lot of responsibility."
Prince Guangling said: "Leave me alone..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he remembered Chen Anning's presence and quickly swallowed them back.
"When his granddaughter was bullying me, you had to stop him sternly. How could he have the guts to allow his granddaughter to be domineering again?" How dare your lord come forward?"
Prince Guangling said: "You are bullied because you are useless. You can't even beat a woman. I don't think it's embarrassing. You still want me to stand up for you?"
"Learn from An Ning. Don't blame others for not helping you because you are incompetent."
"Okay." Princess Guangling said, "My father doesn't act like a father, and my son doesn't act like a son. Every time we meet, we fight back and forth, and there's no end!"
Xie Chen said: "Let my younger siblings see the joke."
Chen Anning said: "It's okay, I quite like watching it. It's unfair for you three to fight against one prince."
"Brothers and sisters, you don't understand." Xie Chen Canran said, "He is the father and we are the sons, so we are naturally at a disadvantage. The three of us brothers working together can only make it impossible for him to play the role of father and son. What's more, my siblings have ignored their mother as a foreign aid."
Xie Qian nodded in agreement.
Princess Guangling laughed and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense."
Xie Chen spread his hands towards Chen Anning.
Chen Anning chuckled and said, "Eldest brother and second brother can also find foreign aid."
King Guangling taunted: "You must have the ability to find one!"
"I was originally looking for it, but..." Xie Chen looked at Xie Xun meaningfully before shaking his head.
Chen Anning joked: "I know how to poison, second brother, please don't sow discord."
Xie Xun looked at Xie Chen proudly.
Xie Chen coughed twice, "My younger brother and sister have misunderstood. I shake my head. It's not that I want to sow discord between you and the third child, but...compared to the third child, my younger brother and sister seem to like the old man and mother more."
"Have you noticed?" Chen Anning said generously, "I do like the prince and the princess more than Xie Xun. So, when you quarrel in the future, you have to choose a good time. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen. I won’t poison someone on impulse.”
"Miss Wen was..." Prince Guangling stopped mid-sentence.
Chen Anning, Xie Xun, Xie Chen and Xie Qian followed her gaze and saw Hua Jin and Hua Rong, whose expressions had almost returned to normal, standing in the center of the courtyard.
Apparently, the two stopped after hearing what they said.
"What I said is correct, it was you who poisoned Miss Wen!" Hua Rong stared at Chen Anning and said viciously.
Hua Jin quickly glanced at King Guangling and Princess Guangling, quietly grabbed her sleeves, and said in a rather plaintive tone: "Miss Chen has her own reasons for poisoning Miss Wen."
Chen Anning said calmly: "It doesn't make sense, it's just because she needs to be dealt with just like Miss Hua San."
"Aunt and uncle, you all heard it!" Hua Rong shook off Hua Jin's hand, walked quickly into the house, and said to King Guangling and Princess Guangling, "I wasn't talking nonsense before, you have admitted to poisoning me. Got it!"
After King Guangling glanced at Princess Guangling, he flicked his sleeves and said perfunctorily: "She admitted that she poisoned you, but she also said that it was you who owed it to her to deal with it."
"Why do I need to take care of you?" Hua Rong slapped Hua Jin's hand away, "Don't stop me, let me speak clearly in front of my aunt and uncle! It was my aunt who said she wanted to betroth you to Third cousin, yes, the emperor has granted marriage to her and third cousin, and there is no way for her to marry you again. But didn’t you agree to be a concubine and not compete with her for the main wife? Why should she stop it? "
"Auntie, tell her, was it you who said you wanted to betroth your eldest sister to your third cousin?"
"Stop talking." Looking at Princess Guangling's increasingly gloomy expression, she quickly stopped her, "How can my aunt stop the emperor from granting a marriage?"
"I didn't let my aunt stop me," Hua Rong said, "I just wanted my aunt to tell Miss Chen Er that it was she who said she wanted to betroth you to your third cousin, and that's why you haven't agreed to Mr. Chu's marriage proposal, and it's been delayed so far! "
"It seems that I haven't made my words clear just now," Xie Xun said with a cold face, "My mother once mentioned that she wanted to betroth you to me, but I remember that I refused in front of you. Please reply When I was in Jincheng County, I also remember that my mother told you that when you met a young man who wanted to marry you, if you liked him, you would come down. If you didn't, she would help you choose one in the capital, and you agreed at the time. Even just an hour or two ago, I made it clear to you, it's not that An Ning doesn't want me to take you as my concubine, it's that I don't like you at all!"
Hua Jin's face turned pale again and again.
"I didn't want to speak so harshly," Xie Xun said lightly, "but you don't know how to restrain yourself again and again, which is really annoying!"
"How can eldest sister not be as good as Chen Er..."
Xie Xun interrupted her coldly, "Can her chess, calligraphy and painting compare to Miss Meng Si? Can her martial arts compare to Miss Fang San? Does she know medical skills? Can she investigate or resolve cases?"
"What else can she do, tell me?"
Hua Rong glanced at Chen Anning and said bitterly: "She knows these things just because she is a disciple of the miracle doctor!"
Ah.
Xie Xun sneered, "You can stand here and talk to me, isn't it because my mother is your aunt?"
"Auntie!" Hua Rong's eyes were red with anger, "Are you just watching your third cousin bully me for an outsider?"
