Xie Wanyu knew that he would not believe it easily, so she continued, "I saw the elder sister-in-law and Prince Jin coming out from behind the rockery with my own eyes, and during the time when the Marquis disappeared, Prince Jin often came in and out of the elder sister-in-law's yard."
These words made Xiao Jing's determined heart begin to waver.
Could it be that Xue Xuening really betrayed him? This child...
Thinking of this, he left angrily.
Xie Wanyu smiled proudly, then turned and walked towards another path.
Qi Ranyuan.
Xiao Tuo has been taken down by Granny He, and only Xiao Mingxuan is still standing there.
"Waiting for me?" Xie Wanyu walked over and asked.
Xiao Mingxuan nodded, "My great-grandmother and father wanted to use me to intercede with grandpa and help my father return to the court."
"Yeah, pretty smart."
Xiao Mingxuan continued, "What is mother going to do when she comes back?"
"Now that the water in the Xiao family has become muddy, it's the best time to look for evidence. I can only help you so much, and the rest is up to you."
After Xie Wanyu finished speaking, she walked towards the house.
Xiao Mingxuan looked at her retreating back, with a complex light flashing in his eyes, as if he was thinking about what she just said.
West courtyard.
Xue Xuening calmed down and thought something was wrong when she recalled this series of events. She seemed to have been plotted against.
The person who plotted against her was probably Xie Wanyu.
"No, I want to see Mr. Hou."
With that said, she stood up and walked out.
Biyun hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Madam, the Marquis is very angry right now. It's better to wait until the Marquis calms down before talking."
"Xie Wanyu's return this time will definitely not be easy. She must know something. I must tell the Marquis as soon as possible." Xue Xuening shook off Biyun and ran towards the door.
The guard stopped her and said in a deep voice, "Madam, please don't embarrass me."
"You are so outrageous that even I dare to block you!" Xue Xuening said, pushing the guard hard and rushing out.
The guard fell down immediately after being pushed by her, and several other guards immediately rushed forward to stop her.
When Xiao Jing came, she saw such a chaotic scene, and her face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing the sound, the guard let go, cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Ning wants to go out, please try your best to stop her."
Xue Xuening stood up and ran to Xiao Jing's side, "This is all Xie Wanyu's fault. She must know everything."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Jing scolded sternly.
Xue Xuening ignored Xiao Jing's accusation and cried, "I'm not talking nonsense. It's the real Lord Marquis. You have to believe me!"
"You all stand down."
After Xiao Jing finished giving instructions, she pulled Xue Xuening into the room and closed the door with a bang.
"What are you crazy about? If Xie Wanyu really knew Jin Min's life experience, how could she be so calm? Will you still stay here safely?"
After listening to his analysis, Xue Xuening was also stunned, "Is it possible that she really doesn't know?"
Xiao Jing sat down, poured a cup of tea, and asked tentatively, "I heard that King Jin came to see you a few days ago. What's the matter?"
"It's just a small talk." Xue Xuening replied unconsciously.
Xiao Jing's eyes were a little vague, she picked up the tea cup in her hand, turned it around and asked, "What do you and Prince Jin have to talk about?"
"It's not..." She stopped mid-sentence. Xue Xuening seemed to notice something and changed her words, "It's not about the Marquis."
"The King of Jin has always been worried about the Marquis, so he comes to sit here every time."
However, her panicked explanation aroused even more suspicion.
"If he is really worried about my affairs, he should go to his grandmother or Xie Wanyu. Why would he go to you?"
Xiao Jing put down her tea cup and stared at Xue Xuening.
Xue Xuening's eyes wandered, avoiding his piercing gaze, and replied in a panic, "I, how do I know?"
Xiao Jing narrowed her eyes and asked again, "Have you two had an affair for a long time?"
Xue Xuening suddenly woke up and denied it, "How is it possible? My heart is with the Marquis. Prince Jin and I are innocent."
Xiao Jing suddenly grabbed her shoulders and forced her to look at him, "Innocent? Then you two men and two women have been chatting in the room for most of the day? Why do you need to talk about it so often!"
"Prince Jin wanted to please the princess, so he asked me some trivial matters about what women like." Xue Xuening said, breaking free from his restraint.
"Is this really the case?" Xiao Jing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, outlining a dangerous arc.
Xue Xuening was shocked by his expression. She had never seen Xiao Jing like this before.
At this time, he looked very much like the bloodthirsty and cruel man back then.
She swallowed subconsciously and nodded.
Xiao Jing let go of her arms, "You'd better have nothing to do with Prince Jin, otherwise..."
He tightened his grip on the teacup on the table and exerted a slight force. Suddenly the teacup fell into pieces.
Seeing this scene, Xue Xuening was so frightened that her whole body trembled.
Xiao Jing opened the door and walked out.
After he left, Qinghe, who was hiding in the dark, came out and walked towards Qiran Courtyard.
Inside the house, the stove radiates warm warmth, dispelling the cold air in the house.
Xie Wanyu held the storybook with a faint smile on her lips, reading with gusto.
There are various pastries on the small table next to it, and the sweet scent of osmanthus fills the air.
When Zhu Fang came in, he saw her like this. He was stunned for a moment, then walked up to her and whispered, "Madam, Qinghe is here."
Hearing this, Xie Wanyu closed her book, raised her eyebrows and said, "Let her in."
Although Qinghe is now in charge of the mansion, he still keeps an eye on the affairs of the West Courtyard.
"Say it."
Qinghe took a deep breath, suppressed the tremors in his heart, and softly recounted the conversation between Xue Xuening and Mr. Hou just now.
Xie Wanyu took a sip of hot tea slowly, with a slight mockery in her eyes.
"very good."
This was exactly the result she wanted. Her eyes shone strangely, like a cheetah that had been dormant for a long time and finally revealed its sharp fangs.
"Keep watching. If there is any trouble in the west courtyard, report it in time."
If Xie Wanyu's guess is correct, Xue Xuening will definitely write to King Jin soon, asking him to be careful.
"yes."
After Qing He left, Xie Wanyu put down the script in her hand, looked up at the stove, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
It's time to wrap things up.
The next day, Xue Xuening took Biyun to pay her respects.
I happened to meet Xie Wanyu on the road. She was wearing a fur cloak, her long hair was pulled into a high bun, and she wore a gold hairpin. She was dressed in a simple and elegant way, and her whole person exuded a quiet and gentle atmosphere.
Xue Xuening felt jealous, biting her lower lip bitterly, "My brother and sister have already left, why are they coming back?"
"Don't you, sister-in-law, know why I came back?" Xie Wanyu opened her red lips lightly, speaking softly, with a sense of laziness.
Xue Xuening glared at her angrily, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I... there are so many things I want to do, such as..."
"Like what?" Xue Xuening asked, staring at her.
Xie Wanyu smiled slightly, and her soft smile made her look particularly weak, but what she said was creepy.
"For example, destroying the entire Xiao family."
When Xue Xuening heard this, her expression suddenly changed and she stared at Xie Wanyu in disbelief, "What did you say?"
