Xiao Yinshuang stared at Mrs. Xiao in disbelief, her eyes red, she was really sad.
Over the years, her grandmother had loved her very much and had never been willing to scold her, let alone lay a finger on her.
It's better now, because these concubines treat her like this, how can she do it in the future.
Perhaps knowing that what she said was a bit harsh, Mrs. Xiao said in a gentler tone, "After all, they are all your nephews. I don't ask you to be nice to them, but you have to treat them well."
"After all, this is your brother's orphan."
How could Xiao Yinshuang hear these words? For a selfish person like her, who only has eyes for herself, how could there be others.
"I see."
It wasn't that she knew she was wrong, but she was afraid of really annoying her grandmother, so she had no choice but to respond first.
After Mrs. Xiao left with Xiao Yinshuang, Zhufang came over with a letter.
"What's the matter?" Xie Wanyu asked sideways.
Zhufang took the letter over and said, "It's a letter from the border area."
Xie Wanyu sat up suddenly, grabbed the letter and opened it. After reading the contents, her heart slowly sank.
The thing she least expected to see happened happened, just as she expected.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
Zhufang didn't know what was written in the letter, and why did his wife have such a big reaction after reading it.
She glanced at it and almost screamed.
It turns out that Mr. Hou is not dead.
Xie Wanyu didn't understand why Xiao Jing was still alive. She had fantasized about his death countless times and completely erased him from her life.
But now, this nightmare still exists, but she can't get rid of it.
She knew that her plan had been disrupted. She originally thought she could start over and live the life she wanted, but now it seemed that everything had to be considered in the long term.
That night, a figure landed in Qiran's courtyard, opened the door and walked in.
Seeing the person coming, the guard in Xie Wanyu's eyes dropped.
"Is the prince here because of Xiao Jing's affairs?" Xie Wanyu took a sip from the tea cup.
Since she has received the news, there is no way that Tai Shuqi has not investigated it.
Seeing such a calm person, Tai Shuqi walked to sit opposite her and said, "Xiao Jing is still alive."
"Um."
Seeing that she was not surprised, Tai Shuqi guessed that she must also have received the news.
"Do you want……"
"No need." Xie Wanyu interrupted him directly. She knew what Tai Shuqi wanted to say.
It was nothing more than helping her kill Xiao Jing, but she didn't want Tai Shuqi to do this.
There is no need to dirty his hands for such a person, and she also signed a divorce letter with Xiao Jing.
Whether he is dead or alive, there will be nothing between them.
"You can't bear to leave him so much!"
Tai Shuzhen was a little angry in his words, but he didn't know what he was angry about.
Looking at the inexplicably angry person, Xie Wanyu was a little puzzled.
Before she could ask, Tai Shuqi had already left.
Xie Wanyu was stunned for a moment and shook her head helplessly.
Because she was feeling depressed, Xie Wanyu took Zhufang out to relax.
In the tea shop on the second floor, Shen Jinyu was drinking tea when he accidentally saw Xie Wanyu downstairs and immediately sent someone to invite her.
Xie Wanyu didn't expect to meet Shen Jinyu here by such a coincidence.
"What a coincidence, Lord Shen."
Last time she abandoned Shen Jinyu and left in such a hurry that she later forgot that he was still in Panyun Mountain and didn't know when he left.
"Madam, she doesn't look very good." Shen Jinyu poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of her, asking with concern.
"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
Shen Jinyu smiled, sipped her tea, lowered her eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Madam seems to have a good relationship with the prince."
"Just like Master Shen and I."
This answer was very clever, making it hard for people to find fault, and it was also a disguised admission that she and Tai Shuyi knew each other.
"How do Madam and Prince know each other?" Shen Jinyu asked.
"We have met several times." Xie Wanyu said lightly.
Shen Jinyu raised his eyes to look at her. The expression on her face was light, making it impossible to guess her emotions.
He was very sure that there was more than just a few connections between the two.
A month has passed, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the number of tourists in Panyun Mountain is increasing. Most of them come here to escape the heat.
Xie Wanyu went there a few times and took a look at Xiao Mingxuan, but she didn't expect that he and Divine Doctor Luo had the same chemistry.
Three days later, the carriage that went to the border to pick up Xiao Jing's two concubines also came back.
The two concubines knew the rules very well and went to visit Mrs. Xiao first.
"I am the Su family, and I am the Li family. I pay my respects to the old lady. May the old lady be safe and sound."
The two of them each held a child in their hands, and the maid was waiting beside them.
"Okay. Okay, get up quickly."
Seeing those two children, Mrs. Xiao smiled from ear to ear.
Then the two of them went to pay homage to Xie Wanyu, "I pay homage to Madam."
"Get up quickly. It's been a long journey. You've worked hard."
Xie Wanyu raised her hand, looked at the two children, and said with a smile, "This little one looks exactly like the Marquis when he was a child."
Speaking of her deceased grandson, Mrs. Xiao felt sad again, with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Yinshuang scolded, "You knew that Jing'er was a thorn in my grandmother's heart, and you brought it up on purpose. Didn't you mean to make her sad?"
"I'm afraid my brothers and sisters have forgotten that when Mr. Hou passed away, my grandmother cried non-stop every day. Now she finally calmed down, so I'd better not mention it."
Xue Xuening was already unhappy, but now she was even more angry when she saw the two children and the two concubines.
However, this anger could not be vented, so he could only sneer at Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu frowned slightly. Are these two planning to show her authority, or do they want to establish authority in front of the two concubines?
No matter what it was, she didn't like it.
"I'm just telling the truth. Since the eldest sister-in-law and eldest sister can't hear me, I'll just leave."
With that said, she was leaving.
"Nonsense, sit down."
Mrs. Xiao's attitude was a bit tough, so Xie Wanyu could only sit back helplessly, her idea of leaving in vain.
"I haven't met your eldest sister or sister-in-law yet." Mrs. Xiao looked at the two of them.
"I've met eldest sister."
"I've met my eldest sister-in-law."
The two of them saluted respectfully.
"Get up."
Xue Xuening and Xiao Yinshuang were obviously lacking in interest. Not only were they not interested in them, they also disliked the two children.
"Get away!" Xiao Yinshuang suddenly stood up from the chair and pushed away the concubine holding the child in front of her.
"Wow wow wow..." The child was suddenly frightened and burst into tears.
Xiao Yinshuang frowned and shouted impatiently, "Why are you crying? It's bad luck."
Mrs. Li hurriedly comforted the child in her arms.
Although she was a little dissatisfied, the old lady didn't speak, so she could only bear it silently.
Xie Wanyu never expected that Xiao Yinshuang would be so arrogant and dare to do something in front of the old lady.
"Eldest sister, are you going too far? He is just a child."
"There are no rules at all. As a mistress, you need to teach me a lesson." Xiao Yinshuang snorted coldly, not feeling that she had done anything wrong at all.
Mrs. Xiao raised her hand to touch her forehead. This frost really gave her a headache and she couldn't stay calm.
"Shuang'er stays, you all should step aside."
