If she doesn't like it, it means she doesn't want to see the Xu family?
Yu Qingwu was shocked.
I also understand more and more why the queen is determined not to allow Xie Ruizhi to marry Xu Si. Just having such a sister-in-law is very troublesome. It is difficult for this family to be treated well.
Xie Ruizhi was at a loss when she saw Xu Fengxia's sudden misfortune. She raised her hand and patted Xu Fengxia, trying to persuade her with a slight embarrassment, "Eldest sister of the Xu family, sister-in-law, she didn't mean that. She doesn't hate you..."
While Xie Ruizhi was trying to persuade her, he secretly looked at the queen, fearing that the queen would look over and see Xu Fengxia's ugly appearance, which would make her marriage to Xu Si more difficult.
Fortunately, the queen didn't have time to pay attention to a small fish like Xu Fengxia.
As for Xu Fengxia, not only did she not know how to restrain herself, but because of Xie Ruizhi's persuasion, she thought that Xie Ruizhi was supporting her, so she immediately became more aggressive and said in a strange manner, "Ruizhi, I know that I am of low status. I am just the daughter of a fifth-grade official, but I
After all, she is your sister-in-law. How can you allow others to bully you? It’s just other people. Your sister-in-law is not from a good family background. How can she look down on me from a scholarly family like me?
, she uses her power to oppress people everywhere and chops off their heads at every turn. She is intimidating..."
The more Xu Fengxia talked, the harder she cried, as if Yu Qingwu had really bullied her.
Looking at her behavior, Xie Ruizhi was speechless.
She simply pulled Xu Fengxia away. Xu Fengxia covered her face and sobbed.
Xie Ruizhi comforted her for a while, and then said that she would have to give her the pair of kodama bracelets given by the emperor to calm her down.
Yu Qingwu looked at him coldly and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
It wasn't until Xie Ruizhi had comforted Xu Fengxia and came back that she looked at Xie Ruizhi with a smile and asked softly, "Sixth Princess, do you still need another test?"
"Sister-in-law..." Thinking of Xu Fengxia's ugly appearance just now, Xie Ruizhi felt a little embarrassed and even more guilty.
She pursed her lips and apologized to Yu Qingwu in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, it was the eldest sister of the Xu family who was rude just now. Don't take it to heart."
Hearing this, Yu Qingwu smiled and didn't care much, "She's just an ignorant shrew who flatters the superior and disdains the inferior. She probably thought that I was from a poor background. Although I became a princess, I guess I am still a soft persimmon, so I tried to bully me.
First of all, I have seen many people like this, and I will not argue with her."
"It's you, let alone whether Xu Si is a good man or not, just having such a sister-in-law is enough for you."
Yu Qingwu picked up a fruit and gently handed it to Xie Ruizhi's hand. He whispered softly and caringly, "I just saw that you have been busy dealing with Xu Fengxia and haven't eaten anything. Let's eat some fruit first to cushion your stomach.
"
Yu Qingwu's words made Xie Rui, who already had some opinions about Xu Fengxia, involuntarily feel even more displeased, and his opinions about Xu Fengxia deepened for a while.
But when she thought of Brother Xu Si, the husband she had liked for many years, her expression softened again, and she shyly replied to Yu Qingwu, "Sister-in-law, actually I also know that the eldest sister of the Xu family is a difficult one, but I married her
We are living with brother Xu Si, not with his sister. Moreover, the eldest sister of the Xu family got married early and seldom goes home on weekdays, so she cannot cause any trouble."
"Can't it cause any trouble?" Yu Qingwu laughed angrily. She sighed and asked Xie Ruizhi, "Sixth Princess, let me ask you, did Xu Fengxia just take the opportunity to ask for a pair of white jade bracelets from you? I heard what your maid said.
.”
"Also, as the wife of a fifth-grade official, her mother's family is just an empty prince's house. Her father was not even able to get into the official position. Xu Si's three brothers were all incompetent in literature and martial arts.
, it was all because of the official position you obtained for them. Normally, Xu Fengxia is not qualified to come to this spring banquet, but why does she appear here today? "
Why did it appear here? Naturally, it was because of Xie Ruizhi.
Xie Ruizhi also understood the reason, but because she liked Xu Si so much, she tolerated it in every possible way.
Now being nakedly exposed by Yu Qingwu, she didn't know how to answer for a moment. She just lowered her head slightly and lowered her voice and said, "But... Brother Xu Si saved my life, and Brother Xu Si did treat me well. They are all
His relatives, I think, are all one family, so it’s okay to help him a little."
"But there must be a limit to your help. Indulging without a bottom line will only make them die faster." Xie Ruizhi's attitude made Yu Qingwu really hate that iron cannot become steel. She coldly dug out her eyes and pretended to cry in the distance.
Xu Fengxia asked her again, "Sixth Princess
, if I am not wrong, that Xu Fengxia must have given you an idea before she came, asking you to persuade me to test Xu Si today, and then the two of them will cooperate. If they cooperate well, they might even be able to steal the show.
, completely reversing Xu Si’s previous bad image.”
"Am I right?"
Yu Qingwu asked softly, but every word and every word spoke to Xie Ruizhi's thoughts.
Xie Ruizhi was embarrassed but also a little surprised. He stammered and asked her, "Sister-in-law, you... how do you know? Did you send someone to monitor me?"
"Do you still need surveillance? You can guess such a clumsy plan with just your toes, okay?"
Just as Yu Qingwu was about to explain, a pleasant male voice suddenly came from behind.
She subconsciously turned around, only to see Xie Jinyan appear behind her at some point.
I didn't hear anyone shouting that the prince was here, and I didn't see anyone kneeling down in the palace.
Yu Qingwu was a little confused and a little scared. He was secretly glad that he didn't say anything bad about Xie Jinyan just now.
She frowned at him and asked, "When did His Highness come in?"
"I came from the small door and have been hiding behind me." Xie Jinyan pointed behind him and sat down at the low table next to Yu Qingwu. Then he turned his eyes and looked at Xie Ruizhi again, humming, "Xie Ruizhi, I said you
Do you have a pig's brain? Why did you bring that shrew into the palace for nothing? Look at her crying look, someone who didn't know better would have thought her father was dead."
"You'd better get her away quickly, otherwise you'll offend your father, the emperor, and your mother. Do you think her head can be saved?"
"Brother Emperor, you..." Xie Ruizhi was furious.
However, even though he was angry, he also felt that what Xie Jinyan said made sense.
Although she often makes trouble herself, she knows when to make trouble and when it is absolutely forbidden to make trouble.
Like Xu Fengxia, it is indeed easy to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Xie Ruizhi immediately stood up and said something to Xu Fengxia. After a while, he pulled Xu Fengxia and left Fengzao Palace.
Yu Qingwu watched her back gradually disappear, then slowly withdrew his gaze, and then looked at Xie Jinyan.
For some reason, sitting alone with Xie Jinyan at this moment, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After a pause, she finally spoke and asked him in a low voice, "Your Highness, why didn't you go to the front hall to talk to His Majesty, but why did you come here instead?"
