Xie Wanyu raised her head slightly, raised her chest proudly, and said with a fierce glare in her eyes, "I say, sister-in-law, you should be more careful."
"No, you just said you wanted to destroy the Xiao family. What exactly do you want to do?" Xue Xuening grabbed her wrist and asked.
Xie Wanyu didn't bother to say more to her, shook off her hand and turned to leave.
When he met Mr. Li who had just recovered from illness, he leaned over and said, "I've met Madam."
"Well, I feel better."
"Thank you madam for your concern. I'm feeling much better now." Ms. Li said softly.
While the two were talking, Xue Xuening caught up with her. Seeing the frail Li, she snorted, "You ran out even though you were sick. Could it be that you still want to seduce the Marquis?"
"Where do you start talking about Mrs. Ning? I am the Marquis's concubine, so how can I seduce her?"
Li easily defused her slanderous remarks with just one sentence, and counterattacked in a different way.
"Bah, shameless!"
Li looked at her and smiled lightly.
Xie Wanyu raised her eyebrows slightly. After all, she was someone who had returned from the gate of hell, but she was different from before.
She said softly, "Is the eldest sister-in-law jealous of Mr. Li?"
"What's so good about her that makes me jealous?" Xue Xuening looked disdainful.
Xie Wanyu pursed her lips and smiled, then approached Xue Xuening and whispered, "Because she can stand beside the Marquis openly, her children can inherit the Xiao family's property even though they are bastards, and you..."
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, but the meaning was clear enough.
Xue Xuening asked in a panic, "Do you know something?"
She always felt that Xie Wanyu must know something, otherwise she would never have said these words.
Xie Wanyu smiled brightly, "What should I know?"
"No, it's nothing." Xue Xuening was a little undecided, not sure if she was lying to her or if she really knew something.
The moment she turned around, Xie Wanyu's voice came again.
"If others don't know, unless you do nothing yourself, the eldest sister-in-law should be more careful."
Xue Xuening shuddered suddenly and took two steps back in vain.
Xie Wanyu smiled coldly and walked forward.
Li Shi followed behind meekly, observing Xie Wanyu for a few times calmly.
"Madam, I was poisoned at that time and was unable to help my wife. After I woke up, I explained to the Marquis that the person who poisoned me could not be my wife, but the Marquis refused to believe it."
Li knew that the only person she could rely on now was the person in front of her. She had no choice or retreat.
Xie Wanyu walked slowly on the tree-lined road, her lips slightly raised, "I don't blame you, how could the Marquis not know who the poisoner was, but he did it deliberately."
What she said also reminded Li where the Marquis's heart lay.
How could Mrs. Li not know this? She said respectfully, "I am willing to follow my wife, but my wife will follow her lead."
Xie Wanyu finally stopped, turned to look at her and said coldly, "Do you know what I want to do?"
Li raised her eyes and shook her head.
"I'm going to destroy the Xiao family, so you still want to follow me?" Xie Wanyu asked solemnly.
Ms. Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly, "As long as Madam needs me, I will go through fire and water, even to death."
Xie Wanyu looked at her deeply and said, "I hope you will remember what you said at this time."
Her goal now is very simple, that is to destroy the Xiao family so that Xiao Jing will never be able to stand up again.
When Mrs. Li returned to Fanghua Courtyard, the maid beside her asked in a low voice, "If Madam really destroys the Xiao family, what will Master do then?"
"If I really accomplish this for Madam, do you think she will treat me badly?"
After experiencing life and death this time, Ms. Li has figured out a lot of things. She doesn't ask for much, as long as she can live the rest of her life in peace.
And even without her help, no one can stop what Madam wants to do.
By doing this, she was not helping others, but helping herself.
Qi Ranyuan.
Xie Wanyu returned to the courtyard and ordered Zhufang to send the incense to Xiao Mingxuan.
If she remembered correctly, this was the incense that her sister liked to burn the most. Later, after investigation, she learned that Xue Xuening had mixed it and given it to her sister.
She guessed there must be something wrong with the incense.
Zhu Fang took the incense and left in a hurry.
Xie Wanyu was about to take a break when the guards outside hurriedly came to report that the Qin Palace sent people to deliver a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
"King Qin?"
Xie Wanyu came to the front hall and saw the steward sent by King Qin.
His attitude was extremely humble and he said, "Slave, please see Madam Hou."
"Excuse me." Xie Wanyu raised her hand and said.
"The prince ordered his servant to bring something to Madam Hou. Although it is not much, it is considered as an apology."
The steward took out a list from his arms and handed it over. Xie Wanyu took it and glanced at it.
It lists all kinds of rare medicinal materials, cloth and jewelry, etc., which are expensive.
She couldn't help frowning, what kind of medicine was sold in Tai Shuqi's gourd?
What apology? What kind of apology?
Xie Wanyu was puzzled, "Take this thing back and tell the prince that I don't need it."
The steward hesitated for a moment, then said bravely, "The prince also specifically asked the servant to accept it, otherwise it will be difficult for the servant to do business when he returns."
"That's all, go back." Xie Wanyu waved her hand, looking for an opportunity to send it back.
"Yes." The steward responded, bowed and stepped back.
Xie Wanyu folded the list and placed it on the table.
Xiao Jing looked at the gold and silver jewelry in the room, her expression a little embarrassed, but more angry.
"Why would King Qin give you these things? What is the relationship between you two?"
Xie Wanyu sat down calmly, "Master Hou, why don't you ask King Qin about this matter."
Xiao Jing cursed angrily and reached out to grab Xie Wanyu, "I'm warning you not to get involved with King Qin!"
Xie Wanyu glanced at him slowly and said with a half-smile, "The Marquis didn't dare to ask the prince, but he only dared to get angry at a weak woman like me. It's really awesome."
Xiao Jing was suddenly speechless. He didn't want to argue with Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so she shook off his hand and left without taking him seriously.
The suppressed anger broke out at this moment. Xiao Jing smashed the coffee table next to her with one palm. She gritted her teeth and stared at Xie Wanyu, wishing to cut her alive, but she was helpless.
Xie Wanyu raised her eyebrows at him provocatively, and then Shi Shiran left, leaving Xiao Jing with an unusually chic back, which made his chest ache with anger.
"Bitch, how dare you humiliate me like this!" Xiao Jing shouted angrily and kicked the coffee table down hard. The teapot and cups were kicked away and clattered to the floor.
When Mrs. Xiao learned that King Qin had sent many things, she immediately sent someone to call Xie Wanyu to get some from her.
Xie Wanyu came to Tai'an Hall calmly.
In the room, Xiao Yinshuang made Mrs. Xiao laugh very happily.
After Xie Wanyu entered, Xiao Yinshuang glanced at her lightly and said mockingly, "I heard that King Qin sent a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Should you give some to grandma and the house?"
"Sister, you'd better save your energy. Since the prince dares to send things over, then the things definitely don't belong to us."
Xiao Yinshuang was furious, "Why not? Since it has been given to you, it is yours."
