Hua Jin looked at him in disbelief.
After a while, tears fell down, and she smiled miserably: "I know."
Then he ran away.
After Hua Rong watched her run away, she turned back to Xie Xun and said, "What did you mean when you said you were using me to cause harm?"
Xie Xun didn't want to talk to her anymore, but seeing her confused look, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you going against Miss Chen Er?"
Hua Rong looked at Chen Anning, "Of course it's because she took you away."
Xie Xun resisted the urge to correct her and reluctantly followed her words: "What does it have to do with you if she snatches me away?"
"Of course it does matter," Hua Rong said without hesitation, "Eldest sister obviously liked you first."
Xie Xun endured it for a while before speaking, "Yes, it was your eldest sister who liked me first. Even if she wants to go against me, she will be the one to go against Miss Chen Er. Why is it you who rushes to the front?"
"Of course..." Hua Rong was stuck as soon as she finished speaking.
"Of course it's because your eldest sister is kind-hearted and can't deal with Miss Chen Er?" Xie Xun completed the sentence for her.
Hua Rong curled her lips, "So what?"
Xie Xun said softly: "When we were in Jincheng County, it was you who took the lead, and you were the one who suffered in bed after being poisoned. When we were in the capital, it was you who took the lead, and it was you who became the joke of every major mansion. Now, it's you who take the lead again. If I really want the emperor to decree a marriage for you, you will definitely bear the brunt again."
"Even though... I care about you being my cousin, I won't treat you decisively like that. But you think your end will be fine? With your current behavior, how do you think outsiders view you? Stupid ? No rules? No shame? You can say that you don’t care about their opinions. But can you promise that you will never marry? If you want to marry in the future, whether in Beijing or Jincheng County, do you think those respectable people will want it? you?"
"Guess, your eldest sister knows that doing this will damage the honor of her daughter's family?"
Hua Rong's face turned pale again and again.
Obviously trying to find something to refute, he opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Seeing her looking like she was about to cry, Xie Xun said, "Okay, what's the use of crying? It's not too late to make corrections from now on."
Hua Rong said angrily: "Why would eldest sister do this to me?"
Xie Xun laughed angrily at her words, "What do you think?"
Hua Rong bit her lip bitterly, turned around and ran away.
Seeing that the direction she ran in was exactly the direction Hua Jin left earlier, Xie Xun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Chen Anning looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, "I can't believe that Third Young Master Xie can still forgive people."
"I don't want to explain it, but they are my mother's nieces." Xie Xun said helplessly, "If you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face."
Chen Anning teased: "That's really hard on you."
Xie Xun turned around and said, "Since it's been so hard, is there any reward?"
Chen Anning looked at him with a half-smile, "Put your face closer."
Xie Xun obediently moved his face towards him, and Chen Anning kissed him hard on the face, "You can go."
Xie Xun turned his head and tapped her lips, "Return the gift."
Chen Anning chuckled twice, and the two continued to read the information.
The news that Ma Deqing had a flame totem on his left arm returned to the capital, and Emperor Qianyuan was furious.
During the morning session, he beat the table and threw cups to vent his anger. In the end, it was Xie Xun's father who came forward and openly exposed his left arm to prove his innocence, which made him stop.
With King Guangling at the beginning, other courtiers naturally rushed to show their arms to prove their innocence.
Since he is proving his innocence, someone will naturally reveal his identity.
The person whose identity was exposed was immediately imprisoned, and later, his family members were also imprisoned.
Afterwards, various ministries and governments also started large-scale investigations.
People with flame totems on their left arms fell off their horses one after another.
With the actions of the capital, the speed of the guards' suppression of bandits became faster and faster.
King Anbei's power is completely collapsing.
only……
Although the situation was excellent, they still could not find any clues about the contacts between these people and King Anbei.
After much thought, Xie Xun prepared to return to Guangling County.
When she was kidnapped, he abandoned the matter of capturing Fan Wanyuan and hurried back.
Although after he left, the secret guards continued to search.
But to this day, there is still no trace of Fan Wanyuan.
Xie Xun was going to go over and interrogate the servants in Fan Wanyuan's house to see if he could find any other clues.
Chen Anning had to deal with the rescued children and had no way to go with him.
Who knows before leaving.
Sisters Hua Jin and Hua Rong, who had not done anything for a while, are here again.
Hua Rong pushed Hua Jin out and asked her to follow Xie Xun to Guangling County, saying that she was going to help take care of her daily life.
Obviously, she didn't listen to Xie Xun's suggestions to her, or she did, but she was brainwashed by Hua Jin.
but.
This time it was not Chen Anning or Xie Xun's turn to come forward, so Princess Guangling refused on the grounds that there were few people here and many things to do, and they needed them to stay and help.
It was rare for Hua Rong not to insist.
But after Xie Xun left and Chen Anning went back to process the information, she hugged Princess Guangling's hand aggrievedly and said, "Does Auntie not like me and eldest sister anymore?"
Princess Guangling pushed her hand away, looked at her helplessly, then looked at Hua Jin and said, "Why can't you understand that you deserve someone better?"
Hua Rong said: "To my eldest sister, my third cousin is the best person."
Hua Jin didn't say anything, obviously this was what she meant.
Princess Guangling's face turned cold, "Ah Xun has the final say as to who he wants to marry and who he accepts. It's useless for you to beg me!"
After saying that, she left.
Looking at her back, Hua Rong said dissatisfied: "You are right, my aunt and third cousin are no longer the aunt and third cousin they used to be. It was obviously her who taught us to respect our identities, but now they are spending all day with each other. These stinky bastards together!”
"Okay," Hua Jin glanced around and persuaded softly, "They don't want to either. It's just that Miss Chen Er was born in a rural area and has the emperor's protection. They had no choice but to lower their status and deal with her."
Hua Rong snorted, "Let's go find her!"
Hua Jin followed her footsteps, "What are you looking for her for?"
Hua Rong said: "Didn't she say when she was in Washington that she would sell you her position as equal wife for five million taels? I'll ask her if it still counts!"
Hua Jin paused slightly, "We don't have five million taels."
Hua Rong said disapprovingly: "Then use one million taels to buy a place in the concubine's room. Although we can't afford one million taels, as long as she still accepts this promise, you can borrow it from Mr. Chu later." Yes. After you marry into the Guangling Prince's Palace, you can take the money from the Guangling Prince's Palace and pay him back. Anyway, it has become an established fact. My aunt, uncle, and cousins don't recognize it, and they are the ones who are embarrassed."
Hua Jin smiled and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Chu won't want to borrow it."
Hua Rong puzzled: "Why didn't he borrow it? Didn't he always respond to your requests? And it's not like he didn't return it to him."
