Everyone seemed to smell the conspiracy. Aunt Qian had seen many storms and waves, but at this moment, she was still frightened by Xia Yunxian's harsh words and lost her composure.
She looked at Liu Chengyu subconsciously and almost blurted out, "It's Jiang...ah——"
Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, the man's eyes changed and he raised his leg and kicked her hard in the chest. Nanny Qian immediately screamed and passed out.
"You bastard, my Yongding Marquis Mansion is not a place for you to stir up trouble! Someone, drag this sinful slave out with ulterior motives!"
Soon, the guards outside the house roughly took the old woman out. Liu Chengyu pretended to be calm and glanced at Xia Yunxian, "A misunderstanding has frightened the Crown Princess. Please call the medical attention immediately!"
He said a fleeting word and was about to throw up his sleeves and leave, but he heard a sneer coming from behind him.
"Could it be that the Crown Prince intends to take things lightly like this? I am a loyal queen, how can I allow you to commit such an injustice! Tomorrow, Yunxian will go to beat the drum of news, and let the Holy One decide to give me justice!"
What a joke, how could she let him go so easily?
Liu Chengyu immediately stopped and gritted his teeth with a sullen face, "Are you threatening me?! Aren't you afraid that this matter will be spread out and your reputation will be insulted?"
However, Xia Yunxian still stood there upright, and his whole aura suddenly changed, "Your Majesty is not afraid of being criticized for being unlucky, so what do I have to fear? You only have three days to bring the person who insulted me to apologize, otherwise, Even if the entire Hou family is involved, Yunxian will stay with you until the end!"
crazy!
It's crazy!
Is she getting desperate and wants to die with the Hou Mansion?
This time, Liu Chengyu, who was originally confident, finally had a hint of panic in his eyes...
…
That night.
"It's all useless slaves that caused the imperial concubine to suffer such humiliation." Chunxiao, the maid, stood tremblingly aside, shedding tears as she blamed herself.
Xia Yunxian's eyes were soft, but he held her hand tightly, endless guilt swept over him, "It's great that you are still alive."
In the last life, this loyal maid was beaten to death in order to prevent Grandma Qian from giving her a physical exam!
Fortunately, she rushed over in time today and rescued Chunxiao from the stick.
The master and servant obviously had a thousand words to say, but they were interrupted by two timid figures suddenly appearing at the door.
"Does mother's wound still hurt? The child specially brought medicine for the wound."
Looking at the oncoming twins, Xia Yunxian calmed down, stretched out his hand and put it on Liu Wenyao's small shoulder, and said with a meaningful smile, "You are such a sensible child. Your mother fell into the lake this morning. Didn't you scare me?" Are you there?"
The boy's body froze, and his eyes flickered, unable to hide his guilty conscience. "It's all the child's fault. He couldn't hold his mother in time..."
"What are you talking about? Your hand still hurts when you practice calligraphy on weekdays. Please stop practicing in the future."
"Really?!" As soon as these words came out, Liu Wenyao's eyes lit up!
"Of course it's true. From now on, mother will no longer force you to do things you don't like, and Xin'er can stop playing the piano and doing embroidery."
Xia Yunxian looked lovingly at the pretty little girl on the side, and Liu Wenxin immediately cheered with joy, "Great! Mother doesn't know something, but Su Xiu Niang and Gao Qin Shi are very bad, they punish Xin'er at every turn, they are just two people trying to please others. What a despicable thing, you don’t take your mother seriously at all!”
"Look at Yi Xin'er, we should give them a good beating so that no one will underestimate our Hou Mansion!" Liu Wenxin pursed her lips angrily when she thought of the boards she had endured.
Dirty stuff?
Xia Yunxian's willow eyebrows frowned slightly and imperceptibly.
As the saying goes, a strict teacher gives birth to a good disciple. Both Su Xiu Niang and Master Gao Qin were well-known elegant people. Many noble ladies from high families were vying for their advice, but it took a lot of effort for me to get this adopted daughter to become my disciple.
It was already known that the two children were good at subverting the good and the bad, but it was still hard to accept that Liu Wenxin was so ungrateful at such a young age.
Why were you so attracted by her seemingly innocent and romantic look in the first place?
"Also, what do you think of Brother Boyu, whom you met a while ago?"
Xia Yunxian's expression remained unchanged, but he saw that the little girl was full of disgust again, "That nerd is too boring and looks poor and sour. Xin'er doesn't like to play with him."
The Song family has been a member of the elite family for several generations and has a well-established family background. When Xia Yunxian saw Song Boyu, he felt that this child had a tough mind and would be a great person in the future. Even if he could not enter the court, he would not be inactive.
Moreover, Mrs. Chen of the Song Dynasty had been close friends with her for many years, and she believed that the daughter she taught would be virtuous, virtuous, and generous.
Xia Yunxian thought of Liu Wenxin's vicious appearance when she grew up. After all, it was she who had failed her friends' high expectations!
"Since Xin'er doesn't like it, my mother originally wanted to get you engaged, but now she has given up and will let you learn the rules of entering the palace another day."
Didn’t this child always want to be a concubine? Then it will be done.
"Mother is so kind to me!" Liu Wenxin was flattered. Why is this all good things?
Liu Wenyao, who was immersed in joy at the side, suddenly remembered his mission, immediately changed his expression and said with worry, "Mother, father did not have dinner today."
"Why?" A flash of light flashed in Xia Yunxian's eyes. Sure enough, these two children were pretending to care about her, but they were acting as lobbyists.
"He said that he mistakenly trusted the traitor and almost wronged his mother. He blamed himself very much."
"Grandma is already in poor health. If rumors spread to aggravate her condition, my mother, who is so filial, will definitely not want it."
"The Xia and Liu families are close friends. They both prosper and suffer. My mother is familiar with women's virtues and always puts the overall situation first in her work. If we ruin the face of both families for a sinful slave who stirs up dissension, it will be more than the gain is worth the loss."
Liu Wenyao and Liu Wenxin talked to each other, and Xia Yunxian always had a smile on his face.
On the one hand, it is a lesson on female virtue, and on the other hand, it is about filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. How can two children say these words?
It seemed that her good sister who was hiding in a side courtyard of the Hou Mansion couldn't sit still.
You must know that the Crown Prince Yongding slandered Chao Nang’s wife, and his moral character was damaged and his reputation was damaged, which may very well affect his future succession to the title!
But, do you think that by asking these two children to come and say a few nice words, she will be able to relent and stop pursuing them?
Xia Yunxian likes this kind of innocence.
"You are right, mother, think about it."
She hugged the two children affectionately, as if she were a loving mother, but she couldn't hide the sharpness in her eyes.
This was just the beginning. She wanted to make this pair of adulterers and adulterous women irrecoverable, and she also wanted to destroy this huge Hou Mansion. However, she couldn't do it overnight because she was still fledgling. She still needed to borrow the east wind.
Complex emotions rushed into her heart, and Xia Yunxian thought of a person, a man who had been entangled with her for many years...
