"You can tell such lies. Do you really think that I am stupid and can be bullied?"
Liu Chengyu became furious instantly, "You obviously saw it but you deliberately pushed the servant away. If Yan'er hadn't jumped into the lake in time to save me, I would have been killed by you!"
Now that things have happened, she actually has the nerve to tell such a ridiculous lie!
Xia Yunxian frowned, then smiled knowingly, "Did she also say that she took care of you for three days and three nights without even taking care of her clothes? Does the prince know that sister Ruyan doesn't understand the nature of water, so how can she go into the water to save you?"
Liu Chengyu couldn't help but be startled, Yan'er... doesn't know the nature of water?
"Oh, this old slave can testify! At that time, the Crown Prince was brought back by the Crown Prince, and both of them were soaked! That Jiang Ruyan just helped me, and the old slave said that she was restless and actually lied to you like this. for many years!"
Aunt Lei was so angry that she cursed repeatedly. Back then, for the sake of the reputation of the imperial concubine, the old marquis told people not to mention it again, but she never thought that Jiang Ruyan would take advantage of her!
"I don't believe it, you guys have colluded to unjustly accuse Yan'er!"
Liu Chengyu's face was livid, but Xia Yunxian didn't intend to explain more. That cold look in his eyes actually made him suspicious for the first time, but more importantly, he was annoyed at being slighted!
Aunt Lei was afraid that the dispute between the two would get worse, so she quickly pulled Liu Chengyu outside the house and persuaded her earnestly.
"Old slave also knows that after the prince woke up, the prince's concubine fell seriously ill and did not go out for a full month. It must be because the cold air from the lake entered her body, and she managed to take care of the prince for three days. How can she be so sincere? Disappointed!"
"..." Liu Chengyu couldn't describe his mood at the moment. At that time, he thought that Xia Yunxian was afraid that the scandal of her attempted murder would be exposed, so he hid and did not dare to see people. Could it be that... his savior was actually her?
Looking back at the calm figure in the room, why didn't she explain clearly just now?
Was it that he didn't bother to resolve the misunderstanding with him, that he was so unworthy of her retaining him? !
Aunt Lei seemed to have noticed Liu Chengyu's thoughts, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, "How can husband and wife have an overnight feud? The prince doesn't know anything about it. The prince concubine has been talking to you in front of the old lady, even crying. She has been hoping that you can change your mind all day long. I’m afraid it’s the rumors in the past few days that have chilled the princess’s heart.”
Seeing that he didn't refute, Grandma Lei thought quickly and immediately called the servants with a smile, "The old lady is not awake yet, and she still needs to be taken care of by the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Hurry, prepare a room in Yaxiang Residence next door. House, the prince must think carefully about what the old lady said!"
Liu Chengyu was dragged into the house. Seeing the servants busy preparing a new mattress, he immediately understood what Grandma Lei meant.
consummate the marriage...
His heart jumped a few times uncontrollably, and Xia Yunxian's refined figure appeared in his mind. That kind of innate nobility and elegance was indeed rare in Beijing.
But soon, a cold smile appeared in his eyes. His mother was right. Wouldn't it be better to give her a child and then drive her out of the Hou Mansion?
I must let her know what a heavy price she must pay for despising him!
…
"When the imperial concubine was in trouble, the old lady turned a blind eye. Why do we need to save her now?" Seeing no one around, Chunxiao looked at Old Madam Liu who was sleeping peacefully on the couch, feeling really aggrieved for her master.
However, Xia Yunxian just quietly weighed the silver needle in his hand and said thoughtfully, "A sharp edge will become dull if it is not sharpened. I just need to practice my skills."
She also wanted Mrs. Liu to live longer, until the building collapsed and she had nothing left!
die? It’s simply a bargain for the evil ones!
At this moment, Aunt Lei stepped into the room with an ambiguous smile on her face, "The Crown Prince accidentally injured his hand just now. He is resting in Yaxiang Residence. The old slave is staying here to take care of me. The Crown Princess hurried over to take a look. Look."
As she spoke, she put a bowl of sweet soup into the arms of Xia Yunxian who didn't know why, and then pushed the person out of the room, not forgetting to say, "Don't keep the prince waiting!"
"Why did you hurt your hand? The Crown Princess really wants to go?" The simple Chunxiao was obviously reluctant.
Xia Yunxian thought of Grandma Lei's winking look, and then looked down at the red dates in the sweet soup. Having more children means more blessings, what a good meaning.
There was a hint of ridicule at the corner of her mouth. Does Liu Chengyu know?
Isn't Jiang Ruyan the only one in his heart?
It’s really flattering!
Xia Yunxian's eyes turned cold, and he poured the sweet soup into a potted plant nearby.
…
"What time is it now?" The man in the room seemed a little irritable, and he didn't even turn a few pages of the book he was using to pass the time.
"It's already Haishi when I return to the Crown Prince." The maid in front of me quickly added, "I must be unable to get away from the old lady. The Crown Prince will definitely come when we wait."
Liu Chengyu's eyes flashed from embarrassment to anger, "Who said that this prince is waiting for her!"
He lifted up his clothes and lay down on the couch, but he couldn't suppress his random thoughts.
Xia Yunxian must have been waiting for this day for a long time, is he procrastinating and playing some tricks?
Do you think he would lower his face and go find her in person?
Idiot's dream!
At this time, Liu Chengyu was already thinking about how he would humiliate Xia Yunxian when she came over, especially on the bed... He had a hundred ways to torture her!
The more he thought about it, the more he looked forward to it. Unknowingly, he closed his eyes in confusion. He didn't wake up suddenly until the rooster crowed at dawn.
"Where is Xia Yunxian?! Why didn't anyone wake me up?"
Did she come and find that he had taken a break and left again?
Hearing the angry voice coming from the house, the maid guarding the door walked in, looked at his gloomy face tremblingly and replied, "The Crown Princess seemed to have returned to her courtyard very early last night..."
What? !
There was a bang in Liu Chengyu's head. He didn't know whether his expression was laughter or anger. It was terrifying!
At this moment, Jiang Ruyan, who had been copying scriptures all night, arrived late. As soon as he entered the door, he threw himself into his arms and cried, "The prince wants to make the decision for Ruyan! Ruyan just accidentally broke the old man. A vase belonging to someone was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, and if this continues, Ruyan may never see the prince again!"
But after a long time, Jiang Ruyan, who didn't wait for comfort, noticed something strange.
When she raised her eyes, she met Liu Chengyu's sinister gaze.
"My husband injured his hand. Don't say you are in the ancestral hall. Even if you are on the horizon, you should come over immediately to ask for help!"
Jiang Ruyan couldn't help but froze, and was so frightened that she took a few steps back. For some reason, she always felt that Liu Chengyu seemed to be looking at another person through her.
"But, no one told Ruyan that Prince Ruyan was injured..."
"No buts! You don't know how to serve your husband, and you can't even clean a vase. You still want to be the princess?"
After leaving these words, Liu Chengyu shook off her outstretched hand and rushed out of the door, leaving Jiang Ruyan alone and panicking...
