Madam Xiao knew very well, he had clearly persuaded Xiao Jing, why the two of them were still together and were caught in public.
Xiao Jing looked a little confused and coughed slightly, "Why are you all here?"
"There was a thief in the house. I was worried about the safety of my eldest sister-in-law and the Marquis and sent people to look for him. Unexpectedly, you happened to be away from the house. My grandmother was worried that something might happen to you, so she sent her servants to search everywhere." Xie Wanyu explained everything clearly in a few words.
She did this deliberately to prepare for exposing their affair in the future.
If Xiao Jing is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust.
The maids and servants in the mansion lowered their heads, and no one dared to say a word for fear of becoming a target.
After listening to Xie Wanyu's words, Xiao Jing frowned. Why did he feel such a coincidence? It seemed that everything was foreshadowing something to him.
Mrs. Xiao sneered, glanced at Xiao Jing and Xue Xuening, and scolded sternly: "Go in and talk."
Entering the main hall, all the maids in the mansion dispersed, and the thief was not caught.
Xiao Jing thought of what Xue Xuening had said and said coldly, "Could it be that someone was shouting to catch the thief?"
"Master Hou is doubting me, but why should I do this?" Xie Wanyu asked casually.
Xue Xuening said angrily, "The purpose is to frame me and the Marquis for having an affair."
Xie Wanyu chuckled upon hearing this. Is this still a false accusation? The relationship between the two is barely visible on the table.
"Shut up!" Mrs. Xiao looked at Xue Xuening with a sharp gaze.
If this bastard had not sent her to Zhuangzi for the sake of the child, how could she have caused so much trouble?
When Xiao Jing saw this, her face darkened, and she stared at Xie Wanyu with a sinister gaze. The most important thing now was to suppress this matter, otherwise it would be extremely detrimental to herself.
As for this woman... I'll take care of her when I have time.
"Grandma, my grandson will go to the palace to meet the Holy Emperor tomorrow. If not, he will go to rest beforehand."
"Well, let's all go back and rest." Mrs. Xiao left with the support of Grandma Feng.
Xiao Jing returned to the courtyard and went directly to the study, and then ordered her servants to call the housekeeper.
After the servant left, Xiao Jing sat on a chair and thought about the whole thing.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong."
"Come in."
The door to the study room was pushed open, and the butler walked in, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Marquis."
"What happened when a thief was discovered in the mansion today?"
"It is true that a thief sneaked into the house, and my servant immediately reported it to Madam. While we were searching for the thief, the jade bracelet given to Madam by the Emperor was stolen. Madam ordered people to search various courtyards."
Xiao Jing already knew what happened next, so the housekeeper did not continue talking.
Xiao Jing sat on a chair and pondered, could things really be such a coincidence?
"I know, go down."
"Yes." The butler left the study.
Qi Ranyuan.
Zhufang heard the news reported by the maid and immediately informed Xie Wanyu.
"Fortunately, Madam is smart and arranged for a thief to come in. Otherwise, the Marquis would be suspicious."
She has loved Xiao Jing for many years, how could she not understand his temperament, and she also knew that he was suspicious by nature and would not easily believe such a coincidence.
Zhufang hesitated to speak. There were some things she knew she shouldn't say, but she felt she needed to remind her.
"Madam, don't you think there is something wrong between the Marquis and Mrs. Ning?"
Xie Wanyu raised her eyes and looked at her, "What's wrong?"
"What a coincidence. The two of them went out together, and then came back together in a carriage."
Zhu Fang didn't say it clearly, but the meaning in his words was already obvious. The two might have an affair.
"I know." Xie Wanyu's plain tone and expression made Zhufang a little confused. She wondered if Madam had listened to her words.
"My child has seen his mother." Xiao Tuo walked into the room eagerly from outside.
Perhaps due to his experience, Xiao Tuo looked stronger than before, exuding masculinity.
"Pei Zhi is back, come here and show me, he seems to be tanned." Xie Wanyu waved and looked at him carefully.
She remembered that when she brought Xiao Tuo back last time, he was still very fair. She didn't expect that he would change so much in just a few months.
Xiao Tuo obediently walked to Xie Wanyu and let her look at him.
Xie Wanyu stretched out her hand to rub his soft hair and praised, "Pei Zhi is getting more and more handsome, and his body is getting stronger and stronger."
"Hehe, it's all thanks to the good training of the prince. I can protect my mother in the future." Xiao Tuo scratched his head and said with an honest smile.
"Let's stay and have dinner together tonight. Mother and son haven't had dinner together for a long time."
"Yes, mother."
During dinner, Xie Wanyu specially asked the small kitchen to cook several dishes that Xiao Tuo liked.
There was laughter and laughter in the house. When Xiao Jing entered the courtyard, she was attracted by the laughter.
The maid quickly possessed her body and said, "I have met Mr. Marquis."
The people in the room heard the maid's voice and stopped laughing. Xiao Tuo opened his mouth to say something, but Xie Wanyu stopped him with a look.
Xiao Jing entered the house, and Zhu Fang stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to have dinner here, Lord Marquis?"
"Need not."
Xiao Tuo put down his chopsticks and saluted respectfully, "I've met my father."
"You go down first."
Xiao Jing didn't recognize his identity at all, and she didn't have a good look towards him. She even had some doubts about Xiao Tuo's identity.
Xiao Tuo glanced at his mother behind him and saw her nodding before leaving the room.
Zhufang also quit and stood outside the door.
"Sister Zhufang, I don't think my father is very happy. He won't hurt his mother, right?" Xiao Tuo asked, raising his head.
Zhufang sighed and stroked his head, "Young master, don't worry, your servant is here."
Inside the room, Xie Wanyu stood up and walked to Xiao Jing, "Why is the Marquis here?"
"What's going on between you and King Qin?" Xiao Jing asked without answering.
"What do you mean, Master Hou?"
Xie Wanyu knew that it must be something Xue Xuening said that made him question her.
"You should know what I am asking, stop pretending to be confused."
Xie Wanyu snorted coldly, "His Royal Highness the King of Qin and I are innocent. The words of the Marquis are too insulting to my concubine."
Although she didn't know why the prince dealt with Xiao Jing, she would never allow Xiao Jing to slander Taishu Ai.
"Insult? If you didn't do anything shameful, how could there be such a legend?" Xiao Jing said angrily.
"I won't be like Mr. Hou."
She was shameless and had an affair with her sister-in-law and gave birth to a child. Of course, she didn't say the rest of the story.
Xiao Jing was a little irritated. He didn't expect Xie Wanyu to dare to contradict him!
There was a "bang" followed by a crackling sound.
The table was torn apart, the cups and dishes were shattered into pieces.
Xie Wanyu's heart skipped a beat, and a thin layer of sweat formed on her palms.
Zhu Fang suddenly pushed open the door, and Xiao Tuo stood in front of Xie Wanyu.
"Get out of here, everyone!" Xiao Jing roared angrily, her eyes red like a wild beast.
Zhu Fang remained motionless, and Xiao Tuo also stood resolutely in front of Xie Wanyu.
They were all afraid that the angry person would hurt Xie Wanyu, so they had to stay even if they were punished.
"Are you going to rebel?" Xiao Jing narrowed her eyes and slowly clenched the hand on her side.
He walked towards Xie Wanyu step by step, looked at Xiao Tuo's firm eyes, raised his hands and pinched his neck.
"bastard!"
