Xiao Yunheng wanted to say something more, but Yun Zishu's attitude was distant, and she obviously didn't want to talk to him anymore. He couldn't bring himself to make trouble in front of his parents, so he followed his parents and left the princess mansion.
.
It wasn't until he stepped out of the princess's mansion that he realized how precious freedom was.
He didn't know if he had already experienced this feeling, so he always involuntarily reversed his position with Yun Zishu, imagining her previous situation in the Xiao family, and he couldn't help but feel complicated.
She was not happy that she was so close to Sicang, but also seemed to understand her situation. It was because she failed to give her a sense of security, so she wanted to find someone who could protect her.
"Yun Heng, Xue'er, how are you doing at the Princess Mansion these days?" Mrs. Xiao said impatiently, "Have you been wronged? Has Yun Zishu made things difficult for you? She..."
"Auntie." Li Xue burst into tears, as if she had finally had a chance to express her grievances, "The Ninth Princess was not good to us at all. Even though the food was shabby, she also used shackles——"
"Li Xue." Xiao Yunheng interrupted her unhappily, "What are you talking about? Have you made the habit of lying again?"
What?
Li Xue was startled and looked at him in disbelief, "Brother Heng, I...I didn't lie, I told the truth..."
What she said is true.
Isn’t the food shabby? Are the shackles Yun Zishu used on him fake?
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Xiao Yunheng's expression was gloomy. Compared with Yun Zishu's harsh treatment, Li Xue's betrayal was more unbearable for him, "Walls have ears. If the princess hears you setting her up, it will be easier for you.
"
With that said, he went straight to the carriage.
Li Xue's face was pale, and she stared blankly at Xiao Yunheng's indifferent back. The uneasy premonition in her heart intensified, and she finally got into the carriage with Mrs. Xiao's comfort.
Li Xue walked into the carriage and wanted to get closer to Xiao Yunheng: "Brother Heng..."
"Stay away from me." Xiao Yunheng's tone was calm and distant, "Leave me alone."
Li Xue bit her lip uneasily and sat relatively far away from Xiao Yunheng. She couldn't help but secretly hate herself. That little bitch Yun Zishu must have said something in front of Brother Heng. Otherwise, why would Brother Heng treat her like this for no reason?
cold?
Even a hint of disgust?
Brother Heng would never talk to her like this before, he obviously loves her very much.
If it weren't for Yun Zishu...
A flash of cold hatred flashed in Li Xue's eyes, it must be Yun Zishu, the culprit!
Back at Xiao's house, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly ordered the maid to prepare hot water for Xiao Yunheng and Li Xue to bathe and purify themselves, and asked the kitchen to prepare more meals that Yun Heng and Li Xue liked.
Looking at the two people leaving, Mrs. Xiao thought thoughtfully: "Is Yun Heng's attitude towards Xue'er a little too cold?"
Xiao Yuanting didn't say anything. He began to secretly observe his son when he was at the Ninth Princess Mansion. When he came back, he found that Xiao Yunheng's anger seemed to be only directed at Li Xue. Although he didn't know what Li Xue had done, Yun Heng's attitude towards Yun Zishu didn't seem to matter.
So disgusted and resentful.
In other words, Yun Heng must have had a good time in the Princess Mansion, at least he did not suffer retaliation and suppression, and facts have proven that Yun Heng's injuries have indeed improved a lot.
With confidence in his heart, Xiao Yuanting couldn't help but feel better. The gloom of losing 10,000 taels of gold in vain also eased a lot. Forget it, just think of it as spending 10,000 taels to heal Yun Heng's injury. We'll talk about the rest later.
.
After the two bathed, the food was prepared in the kitchen. Watching the maid bring the delicious dishes to the table one after another, Li Xue couldn't wait to sit down, picked up the chopsticks and wolfed down the food. She looked really hungry, quite a bit.
No matter the image.
She thought that this would let her aunt know that she was not living well in the Ninth Princess Mansion, but Xiao Yunheng had no appetite for the food on the table. He looked at her starvingly and reincarnated with cold eyes, and the color in his eyes turned ice cold.
"Brother Heng?" Li Xue noticed something was wrong and looked up at Xiao Yunheng, "Why don't you eat?"
Xiao Yunheng frowned and said in a cold tone: "When did you become so rude? You don't look like a lady at all."
Li Xue's heart sank.
Although she is the concubine of the Xiao family, Li Xue is indeed a real lady. Her father was once the Minister of Household Affairs. Before joining the Xiao family, she was also the favorite wife of many families in Beijing.
She became a concubine in the Xiao family not because she was willing to be humble, nor because she really liked Xiao Yunheng to the point of compromise, but because Mrs. Xiao was her aunt. From the day she entered the Xiao family, Li Xue regarded herself as the young lady of the Xiao family and had no intention of doing so.
Treat yourself as a concubine.
The aunt also promised that the identity of Xiao Yunheng's wife would be hers sooner or later.
So after Yun Zishu came in, she felt that Yun Zishu had taken away her position as the head wife, and she was very hostile to Yun Zishu.
Fortunately, her aunt and Brother Heng were very kind to her. Yun Zishu was like an outsider in the house, and no one paid attention to her at all. Li Xue felt more and more psychologically superior to her husband.
But looking at Xiao Yunheng's cold and disgusted face at this moment, Li Xue was stunned and didn't know what was going on.
Why did Xiao Yunheng's attitude towards her change so drastically?
What did she do wrong?
"Yun Heng, what's wrong?" Mrs. Xiao walked in with the last soup. Seeing that the two of them were in a bad state, she couldn't help but frown, "The food is not to your liking?"
Xiao Yunheng looked away and said two words firmly: "No."
Li Xue was filled with grievances in her heart, thinking of the large table of dishes that had been overturned three days ago, and Xiao Yunheng's always lukewarm attitude in the past three days. Now Xiao Yunheng disliked her rude look and couldn't help but blush.
Eye sockets.
"What happened?" Mrs. Xiao was puzzled, "Yun Heng, you..."
Xiao Yunheng put down his chopsticks with a loud "snap", which made Li Xue subconsciously startled. Then he saw him stand up with a cold face and walked out without looking back.
She stayed on the spot, her face turning pale.
Xiao Yuanting had been standing outside. It was not that he had not heard what was going on in the house, but he had never gone in to ask. When he saw that his son was not eating, he walked out angrily and looked up at him, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yunheng paused.
In the past, because of his love for Li Xue, whenever his father and mother had a dispute, he would subconsciously protect his mother, thinking that she was a weak woman who had to work hard to run the house and could not get her father's understanding.
But then he suddenly realized that his father was actually much more rational than him. He had always disliked Li Xue and felt that Li Xue could be a monster. Now it turned out that his father was right.
"I have something to tell my father." Xiao Yunheng lowered his head, "It's something that is enough to make my son unable to hold his head up."
