Xie Gan still had a straight face, "Then honestly, how did you get involved with the prince?"
Xie Wanyu lowered her eyes and said softly: "The prince has been to the mansion several times, and we got to know him after meeting by chance."
"Just that simple?"
"Um."
Xie Gan stared at his daughter and saw that her face was open and she didn't look like she was lying. His doubts were dispelled.
Xie Gan's expression turned slightly bright after hearing this. After all, his daughter had said before that she didn't like Tai Shuqi who was too murderous and would not do anything immoral.
Now it seems that he must have thought too much.
"In this case, why did the prince arrange Xiao Tuo to live in the palace?" Xie Gan asked doubtfully.
Xie Wanyu sighed softly, "I don't know."
"We can't figure out the prince's temperament, but you should remember it and stay away from him when you see him in the future." Xie Gan warned worriedly.
No matter what, Tai Shuqi is a member of the royal family, and the Xie family has become famous, but they can no longer be involved with the prince, otherwise they will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Xie Wanyu lowered her brows and nodded.
Mrs. Jin was very happy to know that her daughter was back, and immediately ordered people to prepare lunch.
Looking at her somewhat thin daughter, she stroked her face distressedly.
"We have all heard about Panyun Mountain. Fortunately, the truth has been revealed."
Qian held the child and echoed, "Yes, who would have thought that the outcome of the matter would be so unexpected."
Several people were talking without a word, and suddenly Mrs. Qian coughed lightly and asked, "Sister, I heard that the two concubines of the Marquis have been brought back. They are quite peaceful in the house. You must not be ridiculed by them again." Go ahead and bully them.”
"Yes, after all, you are still the mistress of the house. If you can't suppress even the people in your own courtyard and spread the word, wouldn't it make the outside world think that the Xie family has no one?" After Jin finished speaking, she cast an encouraging look at her daughter. .
Xie Wanyu raised her eyes to look at the two of them, with a faint smile on her lips, "Mom, please rest assured, I will never let others bully me."
The three of them chatted about other topics for a while, and lunch was already laid out.
After lunch, Xie Wanyu got on the carriage and returned to Xiao's house. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Xue Xuening scolding Mrs. Li.
"I just relied on my beauty to seduce the Marquis and give birth to a bastard. He also wanted to get the old lady's approval. He didn't care what he was."
"You deserve it?"
Mrs. Li bit her lower lip and retorted unwillingly, "How can my elder sister-in-law say that? I..."
"Bah, are you worthy of calling me eldest sister-in-law?" Xue Xuening said with a ferocious expression.
Jealousy and anger rose in her heart. When she thought of the woman in front of her who had been in love with Xiao Jing and even got pregnant and gave birth to a child, Xue Xuening wanted to strangle her to death!
She knew that Xiao Jing could take concubines, but she didn't expect to marry such a lowly woman. This was a great insult to her.
She rushed forward, grabbed the skirt of Mrs. Li's clothes, and tore it with all her strength——
There was a hissing sound, and a large area of white skin suddenly appeared on Li's chest.
Mrs. Li was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly protected herself.
She endured the humiliation and said, "I am the Marquis's concubine, so I should call you my eldest sister-in-law."
Xue Xuening snorted coldly, "So what if you are a concubine? Why don't you look in the mirror and see what kind of character you are!"
"That's enough." A clear and melodious voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Xie Wanyu standing at the foot of the steps.
Xue Xuening frowned. She wanted to teach Li, a vixen, a lesson today, but she failed because of this little hoof.
She approached Mrs. Li, reached out and slapped her hard.
There was a crisp sound, and Ms. Li was stunned. She covered half of her red and swollen cheeks, and tears of grievance instantly fell from her eyes.
Xie Wanyu looked at Xue Xuening quietly, she really couldn't keep her composure at all. If she knew that Xiao Jing was still alive, she would probably not let the two concubines go.
Mrs. Li was a weak woman, and she burst into tears immediately.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"As the mistress, you have not taught the concubines. As the eldest sister-in-law, why not teach you some?" Xue Xuening said impatiently.
Xie Wanyu pursed her lips and smiled, "The eldest sister-in-law wants to teach me, and I am naturally happy to see it happen. However, I would like to remind the eldest sister-in-law that it might not be appropriate if someone sees her, right?"
"Those who don't know, think that you are Lord Marquis's official wife. As the mistress and eldest sister-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion, it is better for you to correct your identity."
Hearing this, Xue Xuening froze for a moment, and then said angrily: "Since ancient times, a sister-in-law has been like a mother. Could it be that I can't even teach my concubine a lesson?"
"After all, Mrs. Li gave birth to a child for Mr. Hou. There is no credit but hard work. If Mr. Hou was still alive, he would not let his eldest sister-in-law bully her like this." Xie Wanyu spoke calmly, as if she was talking about an ordinary thing.
But in Xue Xuening's ears, it was inexplicably harsh.
Xie Wanyu was deliberately irritating Xue Xuening. Even if she gave birth to Master Hou's child, she could not be together openly. Now even the child hates her.
Xue Xuening must taste the pain he endured in his previous life.
"How could the Marquis protect her, let alone quarrel with me because of this woman?" Xue Xuening raised her eyebrows and said in a slightly ambiguous tone.
"How can you be so sure that the Marquis will not?"
"Because the Marquis... respects me so much!" Xue Xuening stopped after she said it and changed her words in time.
Xie Wanyu smiled brightly, pointed at Mrs. Li and said, "Ms. Li belongs to Mr. Hou. Even if she does something wrong, Mr. Hou and I should teach her a lesson. Sister-in-law, it is better not to stretch your hands too far."
After saying that, without waiting for Xue Xuening to retort, she looked at Li who was crying and said, "Go back and think about it for three days. You are not allowed to step out of the yard."
"Madam?" Li didn't expect such a result, and immediately looked up at Xie Wanyu with tears in her eyes.
She thought Xie Wanyu would seek justice for her, but she couldn't accept this result.
He was humiliated in public, even slapped, and finally grounded.
But she did nothing but greeted the elder sister-in-law kindly.
"Didn't you hear what I said clearly?"
Xie Wanyu shook her head helplessly. She was indeed a brainless person. The Xiao family was not as simple as she thought.
"yes."
Li finally left unwillingly.
Xie Wanyu didn't want to get too entangled with Xue Xuening and went back to Qiran Academy directly.
Zhu Fang followed behind and said with a frown, "I'm afraid Mrs. Li will hold a grudge against Madam Shang."
"It doesn't matter. If I didn't do this, how could Xue Xuening let her go so easily."
Although Xie Wanyu wanted to make the two people more violent, it wasn't now.
She had sent people to the border to look for the person, and Xiao Jing couldn't hide him even if he wanted to.
Even if he doesn't want to go back to Beijing, he will come back, and he will come back in a state of embarrassment.
The August night was a bit sultry, and the cicadas kept chirping outside the window.
Xie Wanyu was disturbed in the room and could not sleep.
After finally falling asleep, he was caught in the chaos of war. He saw Taishu Ai wearing armor and holding a long sword fighting with the enemy.
Suddenly a short arrow was aimed at him. Xie Wanyu wanted to shout, but she couldn't open her mouth.
She wanted to rush over, but her feet were stuck in place and she couldn't lift them up.
He could only watch helplessly as the short arrow shot through Tai Shuqi's chest.
