After breakfast, the maids cleared away the dishes. After leaving, Xie Wanyu stood up first, "I already know what Master Shen wants to ask."
"It's just about Xiao Jing. There are a lot of rumors in the capital. The only thing I can tell you is that the rumors are true." Xie Wanyu said straightforwardly.
Shen Jinyu shook his head, "That's not what I want to ask about. There are other things."
Having said this, he glanced at Tai Shuqi hesitantly and did not speak again.
"Master Shen, follow me."
With that said, he led him towards the pavilion.
"Can we talk now?" Xie Wanyu stopped.
Shen Jinyu nodded, "Now that Xiao Jing is back, what are you going to do?"
Hearing this, she frowned slightly, "What else can I do? Of course, live a good life."
"I know very well what kind of life you are living in the Xiao family. Are you really willing to stay?" Shen Jinyu asked eagerly.
The Xiao family did not regard Xie Wanyu as a relative at all, and why should she continue to stay in a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.
Xie Wanyu continued: "I know Master Shen's good intentions, but I will not leave the Xiao family for the time being."
Hearing what she said, Shen Jinyu was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Does this mean you will leave in the future?"
"What do you think, Lord Shen?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Shen Jinyu's expression changed slightly, then nodded and said, "I understand."
Now that she has made the decision, let her!
Tai Shuqi stood at the door and kept looking at the two people in the distance. He didn't look back until Xie Wanyu came back.
"What did he say to you?"
Xie Wanyu smiled and said, "It's the same as the prince said before."
"This king has said a lot to you, which sentence did he say?" Tai Shuyi asked, pursuing the matter to the end.
"You want me to leave the Xiao family."
Xie Wanyu didn't think there was anything she couldn't say, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw someone with an unhappy face.
She didn't know why Tai Shuqi was unhappy, and when she was about to ask, Yan Qingzhao came over in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has urgently summoned you to the palace."
Uncle Qi frowned, but he still gave Xie Wanyu a few instructions and then left with Yan Qingzhao.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but feel worried when she saw him leaving in a hurry.
Xiao family, west courtyard.
Xue Xuening was sitting on the soft couch drinking tea. After listening to Biyun's report, she broke the teacup in her hand.
"This bitch is really lucky, she won't die even if she does this! And that Su family is also a bitch!"
Biyun lowered his head to the side, not daring to say a word.
After Xue Xuening scolded her, she ordered, "Go and ask the Marquis to come over and say that I have something to discuss."
"Yes." Biyun turned around and walked out.
Soon, she came back and whispered, "The Marquis said that something happened and it was not convenient to see Madam."
Xue Xuening didn't expect him to say this. No matter what she did in the past, he would never fail to come. What happened this time?
Could it be that he was aware of it, but so what, she was just a concubine, and she would die if she died.
What's more, he promised himself that he would never take concubines, but he broke his promise first. What was wrong with him?
Thinking of this, Xue Xuening snorted coldly, "Send him the things I prepared."
"My slave, you obey." Biyun said respectfully, unable to help but sigh.
Youth Courtyard.
Xiao Jing's eyes gradually deepened after receiving what Biyun sent.
Knowing that it was Xue Xuening's fault again, Mrs. Li said tentatively, "The embroidery on this is unique. It must have been embroidered by someone who admires the Marquis."
When Xiao Jing heard this, her expression changed drastically, "It's just a veil, what can be seen."
"You can eat lunch by yourself. I have something to do and will see you another day."
After saying that, he lifted his legs and left Youth Courtyard.
As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw Nanny Feng walking towards me.
"I've met Lord Marquis." Aunt Feng leaned over slightly.
Xiao Jing waved her hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The old lady asked you to come over." Nanny Feng replied.
"What does grandma want from me?"
Aunt Feng frowned slightly and said, "This old slave doesn't know either. You'll find out when you get there."
Xiao Jing nodded after hearing this, glanced at the handkerchief in her hand, and went to Tai'antang with Aunt Feng.
In the Tai'an Hall, Mrs. Xiao was sitting on the main seat, eyes closed, and turning the beads in her hands.
Xiao Jing entered the house and immediately saluted, "My grandson has met my grandmother."
"Yes." Mrs. Xiao opened her eyes and stopped moving.
He responded calmly and asked him to sit down.
After the maid brought tea, Xiao Jing slowly spoke: "What does grandma want from me?"
"Have you ever heard of the rumors in the capital?"
When mentioning this matter, Xiao Jing's face turned gloomy.
"Which one is Grandma referring to?"
Mrs. Xiao pursed her lips and said nothing. After a long time, she quietly said, "You faked your death and escaped from the battlefield."
"Have heard a little bit."
"What do you think about this?" Mrs. Xiao asked again.
Xiao Jing lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before replying: "We can only wait."
"How do you say this?"
"If the emperor insists on punishing his grandson, it will be useless no matter how he defends himself. He can only wait until the matter subsides and then he can explain." Xiao Jing analyzed.
Madam Xiao suddenly thought of Xie Wanyu and couldn't help but said, "Maybe the Xie family can help say some kind words."
"But if we are in such trouble with Xie Wanyu, how can the Xie family help?"
Mrs. Xiao suddenly said, "Why don't you just go and soften him up, bring him back, and give him some coaxing?"
"Is this possible?" Xiao Jing was a little doubtful.
Mrs. Xiao urged, "Why not? Women rely on coaxing. As long as you are willing to show weakness, won't Xie Wanyu come back with you obediently? As for other things, leave them to grandma."
Seeing her persistence, Xiao Jing did not refuse anymore, "Then my grandson will pick her up now."
"Go quickly!" Mrs. Xiao said.
Xiao Jing turned around and left Tai'antang, immediately ordered her servants to prepare a carriage and head to Panyun Mountain.
This was his first time coming here. Seeing the beautiful scenery, cool climate, and faint fragrance in the air, he couldn't help but regret giving Zhuangzi to Xie Wanyu.
The maid took him to the courtyard behind that belonged to Xie Wanyu and asked him to wait for a while.
Xiao Jing opened the door and walked in. The room was not small. In addition to tables and chairs, there were clothes, jewelry and rouge and gouache placed beside the bed.
The weather is nice today, the sun is shining through the windows.
Xiao Jing stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside.
Xie Wanyu came back from outside, opened the door and walked in. She happened to see Xiao Jing standing in front of the window, and she was stunned on the spot.
Why is he here?
The moment he saw her, Xiao Jing also froze on the spot.
She looked even more beautiful than the previous few days. She was wearing a pink dress that made her skin crystal clear. Her long black hair was pulled into a simple bun with a few rockers and pearl hairpins.
"Why are you here?" Xie Wanyu came to her senses first and asked.
Xiao Jing looked at her face and said nothing.
Xie Wanyu frowned when she saw this, and said again: "Master Hou?"
She shouted twice, and Xiao Jing finally reacted, looked away and said, "I was passing by here and came over to see you."
Hearing him say "passing by here", the corner of Xie Wanyu's mouth twitched.
What a bad excuse!
She doesn't believe it! This place is relatively remote, and it is impossible to pass by.
Oh...since the Marquis has already been here, please come back. "
Seeing her distant and indifferent look, Xiao Jing felt irritated and said bluntly, "Come back home with me."
