Meng Yunshang was startled, staggered, and almost fell down the steps.
Xie Heng, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed her arm.
Meng Yunshang stood awkwardly, eyes red with grievance.
"Henglang, my sister has blocked me from entering twice and three times. Does it mean that she doesn't want me to marry you at all?
If this is the case, it would be better for Yun Shang to twist her hair now and go to the temple to be a sister-in-law, rather than being made things difficult for her like this. "
Xie Heng held her waist and gently wiped away her tears.
"Yunshang, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, no one will embarrass you."
Gu Nan watched Xiaoyi coaxing Meng Yunshang gently, and felt a faint pain in his heart.
Xie Heng said the same thing to her in her previous life.
In order to let her pass on the family property to Xie Rui, Meng Yunshang always kept a low profile in front of her. He looked gentle and virtuous and would never compete with her for favors.
But she occasionally saw Xie Heng hugging Meng Yunshang tenderly and doting on him several times. At that time, she only felt bitterness and envy in her heart.
Her husband, who was bitter that his heart was filled with other women, envied Meng Yunshang for being able to receive Xie Heng's love and tenderness.
So she tried her best to educate Xie Rui and manage the prince's mansion.
Every time Xie Rui achieved something or the Hou family was in the limelight, Xie Heng would come to sit in her yard for a while and talk to her gently.
"I know that Madam is dignified and virtuous. The Hou Mansion has achieved what it is today, and I will remember Madam's efforts in my heart.
Madam, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, as long as I am here, no one will embarrass you. "
The dull pain in her heart was like a needle pricking her, repeatedly reminding her of how stupid she was in her previous life. She had sacrificed everything for Xie Heng's tenderness, and ended up tragically being poisoned to death.
"Gu Nan, what's wrong with you? Why do you have to act virtuous and generous if you don't want Yun Shang to come in?"
Xie Heng coaxed Meng Yunshang away and looked at Gu Nan with a very unhappy look.
Gu Nan gently touched his chest, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, you heard me wrong. I didn't tell you to wait."
"etc."
The hurried voice sounded again.
Xie Heng was stunned for a moment before he realized that the voice came from behind the crowd.
It was he who prejudged that Gu Nan was blocking him.
Xie Heng looked embarrassed and turned to look behind him.
A group of government officials wearing black bottoms with red trim squeezed in from the crowd.
The leader of the yamen team raised his hands and saluted.
"My humble position is the head of the yamen team of Jingzhao Mansion. Early this morning, someone went to Jingzhao Mansion to beat drums and complain against Mrs. Wenchang Hou Shizi.
Under the orders of the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, I asked the Crown Prince's wife to go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture. "
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar around him.
"Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, my God, could it be that the Crown Prince's wife has done something outrageous?"
"Who knows, these days, you know people but not their hearts."
Xie Heng's face turned pale.
"Gu Nan, what evil thing did you do that made someone report you to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen?"
Gu Nan shook his head, his face also filled with shock.
"I asked myself that I never deceive others in my daily behavior. I wonder who is complaining?"
The squad leader handed over his hand and said, "Since the case has not been reviewed by Mr. Fu Yin, it is inconvenient to reveal the details of the case. I would like to ask the Crown Prince's wife to go with the humble position."
Gu Nan looked embarrassed.
"There is a happy event at home today. The prince is marrying an equal wife and the newlyweds have not yet come in to serve tea. It is not good to miss the auspicious moment.
Could you please forgive me, Mr. Fu Yin? I will go to the government office tomorrow to explain the situation. "
The squad leader's face darkened.
"Someone is beating a drum to lodge an grievance complaint against the Crown Prince's wife. Mr. Fu Yin has already received the petition. Personnel related to the case should seize the case immediately."
Gu Nan bit her lip and turned a little pale.
The class leader looked at Xie Heng and Meng Yunshang, who were cuddling together next to them, and then at Gu Nan's pale face. He felt a touch of sympathy in his heart, and his voice softened a bit.
"For the sake of the Wenchang Hou Mansion, Your Majesty asked me to come to invite you. I also ask the Crown Prince's wife not to embarrass you in your humble position."
Gu Nan looked at Xie Heng, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Xie Heng's expression was stern, "I don't know what trouble you caused outside, but Lord Fu Yin has come to summon you, so the Hou Mansion should cooperate.
You go with the government officials. "
Gu Nan's face turned even paler.
"Your Majesty, can you go with me? It's not good for a woman like me to go to a place like the Yamen by myself."
Xie Heng frowned, somewhat reluctantly.
But in front of everyone, if he directly rejected Gu Nan, it would inevitably make people think that he did not care about the relationship between husband and wife.
He secretly winked at Xie Qiaoyu.
Xie Qiaoyu had been impatient for a long time. After receiving Xie Heng's hint, she immediately accused Gu Nan.
"You must have done something wrong in your business outside and bullied others, so you asked them to file a lawsuit with the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen."
"Our Marquis of Wenchang is a noble family, how could you do such evil things outside? It's a disgrace to our Marquis."
"You actually want my brother to accompany you to the Yamen. What does the wife of the inner house do, what does my brother want to do?
What's more, today is a good day for my brother and Sister-in-law Yun Shang. Sister-in-law Yun Shang has done nothing wrong. If my brother leaves her at the gate, wouldn't he fail Sister-in-law Yun Shang? "
"Sister-in-law, you can't bully Sister-in-law Yunshang just for your own peace of mind, right? How can you be so selfish?"
Gu Nan: "You can choose auspicious days and auspicious times. I am a woman with limited knowledge. If I say the wrong thing in court, I might implicate the Hou family and the prince..."
Xie Heng's expression changed slightly.
Princess Huaiyang pulled Xie Qiaoyu behind her, smiled and patted Gu Nan's hand.
"Don't be afraid, good boy. For such a big matter, the prince should accompany you."
Gu Nan withdrew his hand and curtsied.
"Thank you for your understanding, mother-in-law. I will apologize to the prince and Yun Shang when I get back after the government affairs are over.
When the time comes, it all depends on the prince's words whether to take the main entrance or the side entrance. "
Meng Yunshang's eyes lit up, and she stretched out her hand to tug Xie Heng's sleeve.
"Hengro, go and help your sister. She looks so pitiful."
Xie Heng nodded in agreement.
"In that case, let me go to the Jingzhao Mansion Office together."
Princess Huaiyang pulled Xie Heng aside and whispered.
“You went and acted by ear, it would be best to take this opportunity to ruin Gu Nan’s reputation.
Her reputation has been ruined, so she can be crushed and rounded by us. "
Xie Heng understood, "I understand."
Gu Nan and Xie Heng went to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion together. The people watching around them had never seen such a strange thing and followed them one after another.
At the same time, at the door of Prince Jing’s Mansion.
Xiao Yan jumped off the horse tiredly and threw the riding whip to Duofu, the chamberlain behind him.
"Your Majesty has personally trained the Shenji Battalion for two days. He must be exhausted. You must have a good rest today."
Xiao Yan hummed and heard hurried footsteps behind him.
Ping An ran over with excitement on his face and whispered:
"Your Majesty, I finally found an opportunity to send the dog to Lady Gu without revealing any flaws."
"Huh? Let's talk about it."
Ping An: "Your Majesty has not been in the capital for the past two days. I don't know today is the day when Prince Xie will marry his wife."
Xiao Yan paused, and his narrow phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Xie Heng married an equal wife? Did she agree?"
Ping An nodded, seeing the anger in his prince's eyes, he quickly said:
"But before anyone could get in, the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion came to the door, saying that someone was suing Madam Gu.
Your Majesty, I have thought about it, and when Mrs. Gu is on her way back from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, we will throw the dog away..."
Before he could finish his words, his butt was kicked hard.
"Damn it, is this the point?"
Ping An was confused.
Isn't that the point?
"Hey, Prince, where are you going? Wait for me, I'll take the dog with me."
