"These are gifts given by the emperor and cannot be touched." Xie Wanyu said lightly.
Mrs. Xiao's face was livid, and it took her a long time to hold back a sentence, "You just let those things sit there?"
"The prince not only asked the steward to deliver the things, but also gave him a few boxes of rare ancient books. How could my grandson refuse?"
Mrs. Xie choked up, saying this seemed like she was making trouble unreasonably.
Xie Wanyu looked at her with a sweet smile, "So none of these things can be missing. I have other things to do, so I won't chat with my grandmother and eldest sister."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she could only stare.
Xiao Yinshuang gritted her teeth and stared at Xie Wanyu's leaving figure, her eyes filled with resentment.
"Madam, you are back." When the maid saw Xie Wanyu, she hurried forward to open the curtain.
Xie Wanyu nodded slightly and walked straight into the house.
As soon as she crossed the threshold, she heard the maid say, "Aunt Su has come to say hello to Madam. She is waiting in the house."
Xie Wanyu raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said nothing.
Entering the house, he saw Su on the chair.
Today, Ms. Su wore a double-snail bun, a pearl fringe hairpin and a light blue pleated Ruyi moire skirt, which made her whole body elegant and refined.
She seemed not to notice Xie Wanyu's gaze, and leaned towards her gently and obediently, "I give my regards to Madam."
Xie Wanyu looked at her with a smile, "Don't be restrained, sit down."
Mrs. Su said hello, moved her steps carefully, and sat down below Xie Wanyu.
"I heard that Madam has been feeling unwell recently? I personally made the tonic soup. I hope Madam will like it."
"Thank you for taking the trouble."
Xie Wanyu smiled, without any intention of trying to win over her, because she knew that the Su family and the Li family were different.
Although she likes to deal with smart people, she doesn't like to get along with scheming people. She needs to be careful everywhere, which is really tiring.
Mrs. Su looked embarrassed, twisted her fingers into a ball, lowered her head and said, "It's all my fault for being ignorant..."
"I can't blame you for this. I know you are weak." Xie Wanyu interrupted her and comforted her with gentle words.
Su's mood was agitated and she quickly stood up and knelt down, "Thank you, madam, for your understanding."
Xie Wanyu held her arm and pulled her up, "Get up quickly, don't keep bowing."
Mrs. Su knelt down on the ground again and said respectfully, "I dare to ask Madam if she can take Su'er in and let him have sex at Madam's knees."
Xie Wanyu was secretly frightened and raised her eyes to glance at Su, "It's better to wait until he is older."
When Mrs. Su heard that there was hope, she immediately kowtowed, "I will kowtow on Su'er's behalf to thank Madam for her love!"
Her attitude was sincere and sincere. If Xie Wanyu hadn't already understood it, she would have been moved.
She curled her lips and showed a cold and distant smile, "Okay, the weather is hot and I am weak, so you can go back first."
"Yes." Su stood up and left the room respectfully.
After the room calmed down, Xie Wanyu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water.
She had never doubted that Su had any ulterior motives, but sometimes she had to be on guard against others.
What's more, although she never fought or grabbed, those little tricks in the secret did not escape Xie Wanyu's eyes.
When Zhu Fang came back, it was already afternoon.
Xie Wanyu had just had lunch and was taking a nap on the couch. When she saw the person coming back, she looked sideways and asked, "How was it?"
"Just as Madam thought, there is indeed something added to the aromatherapy."
Xie Wanyu narrowed her eyes slightly, "What was added to it?"
"Master Mingxuan is still investigating. I listen to the master. The death of the ex-wife is probably related to the incense."
Xie Wanyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Go find Mr. Li to find some incense."
Zhu Fang nodded and agreed.
The next day, the early morning sunlight shines on the bed through the screen window.
Xie Wanyu turned over and opened her sleepy eyes.
He stretched and sat up, got dressed and got out of bed.
Last night, she dreamed about her past life again. In the dream, the Xie family was falsely accused of treason and the whole family was beheaded. She cried and shouted in vain.
She hates it! I hate the emperor for not investigating it properly, I hate why Xiao Jing did this, and I even hate myself for marrying into the Xiao family.
Xie Wanyu shook her head hard, putting these messy thoughts behind her, then opened the door and went out to wash up.
After breakfast, Xie Wanyu was about to return the things Tai Shuqi had sent when Zhu Fang came running in panic.
"Ma'am, it's not good."
"What's wrong?" Xie Wanyu knew that she had a steady temper and rarely lost her sense of proportion.
"Master Mingxuan ran to the west courtyard and shouted that he wanted to kill Xue Xuening. He also said that she was shameless and seduced other people's husbands. The Marquis tied him up in anger." Zhu Fang said anxiously.
"Too reckless."
Xie Wanyu knew that he must have found something, otherwise he would not be so impulsive. After all, he was still young and could not hold his breath when things happened.
"Let's go and have a look."
Although Xie Wanyu didn't want to take care of Xiao Mingxuan, he was her sister's child after all.
The two hurried to the west courtyard.
As soon as he entered the west courtyard, he heard a scolding voice, "Tell me, who told you to talk nonsense."
Xiao Mingxuan glared at the person in front of him, "What I said is the truth."
"Pa" a crisp slap sounded, and Xiao Jing said sternly, "Is this how the Xie family taught you?"
"Grandpa taught me that a person must be honest and have a conscience! Instead of doing something bad and being so confident!" Xiao Mingxuan said with a frown on his neck.
Xue Xuening smiled coldly, took Xiao Jing's arm and said, "Master Hou, how could he, a child, say such things? Someone must have instigated him."
"If these words spread, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the Hou Mansion? The person behind it must have no good intentions."
Xie Wanyu listened for a long time and finally walked away.
"Mrs. Ning, why don't you just say it directly, you suspect that I instigated Mingxuan, why bother beating around the bush like this." She said lightly and walked up to the two of them.
Xiao Jing's face was gloomy. When she saw that the person coming was Xie Wanyu, her face brightened slightly.
Xue Xuening gritted her teeth and stared at her, as if she wanted to breathe fire.
Xie Wanyu's eyes swept across the crowd, and finally settled on Xue Xuening, "What's this expression, sister-in-law? She doesn't seem happy to see me?"
Xue Xuening said angrily, "It's you!"
Xie Wanyu raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is it about me?"
Xue Xuening clenched her fists, "You instigated Mingxuan to say this. Do you want to destroy me, right? You are too cruel!"
Xie Wanyu sneered, "What qualifications do you have to call me vicious?"
Xiao Jing stared at Xie Wanyu fiercely, "How dare you say you didn't do this."
"Is the Marquis going to wrongly accuse me again?" Xie Wanyu asked with a raised brow.
The person who was still arrogant suddenly lost half of his anger.
Xue Xuening wanted to say something more, but stopped when she received Xiao Jing's eyes.
Xie Wanyu asked Zhufang to untie the rope for Mingxuan, and scolded in a low voice, "What's going on? Even if you have seen Mrs. Ning and Prince Jin together, you can't make such random guesses."
Seeing the understanding in her eyes, Xiao Mingxuan said angrily, "I'm not talking nonsense. I personally saw the two of them walking out of the mountain in disheveled clothes, and the King of Jin even gave his mother-in-law something as a gift."
Xue Xuening rushed over in panic, "What are you talking nonsense about, you little bastard? Did she ask you to slander me?"
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't let you go."
