"Li Xue is back?" General Xiao had not been to the military camp for three days. When he heard the news that Li Xue was back, he walked out of the study with a not very good expression. "Let her pack her things and go back to Li's house immediately."
Mrs. Xiao turned to look at him with an unsightly expression: "Li Xue is already a member of Yun Heng. Now that she has returned to the Li family, what should we do in the future?"
General Xiao was furious: "She has harmed the Xiao family like this, and I haven't asked you yet, what should we do?"
"Can Li Xue be blamed for what happened to the Xiao family?" Mrs. Xiao was dissatisfied, "It's obviously Yun Zishu——"
Seeing Xiao Yuanting's suddenly cold face, Mrs. Xiao changed her words bitterly: "It's obvious that the Ninth Princess is unreasonable and unforgiving."
"If Li Xue hadn't framed the Ninth Princess first, and you mother and son bullied her later, would there be any chance that the Ninth Princess would be unreasonable and unforgiving?" Xiao Yuanting said angrily, "I put all the responsibilities on others, and I don't even know it until now.
You need to reflect on yourself?!"
Mrs. Xiao held back her anger and had to suppress her emotions and said: "Now that this is the case, what can we do if we drive Li Xue back? Yun Heng is injured now, and what I mean is to ask Li Xue to go to the princess mansion to take care of him.
, if there is anything inconsiderate, she can report it to us in time, otherwise we have no idea what Yun Heng's situation will be in the princess mansion, what if he is abused?"
Xiao Yuanting fell silent after hearing this, as if he was thinking about her words.
"And that's what I think." Mrs. Xiao came closer and her tone became a little uncomfortable, "While Yun Heng was recuperating, I don't know if the Ninth Princess went to take care of him every day, and I don't know if there is any affection between the two.
Progress, having Li Xue by Yun Heng's side may arouse the Ninth Princess's sense of crisis and make her jealous. In this way, the Ninth Princess may take the initiative to look after Yun Heng and treat Yun Heng better.
Isn’t this what you military strategists often call the method of provoking generals?”
Xiao Yuanting frowned. The method of provoking generals was correct, but Yun Zishu had such a strong attitude in breaking up with Yun Heng before. Asking Li Xue to go to the princess mansion to take care of Yun Heng, are you sure it won't have any counter-effects?
"Just try it, maybe it will work."
Mrs. Xiao actually has some worries, but things have to be done. How can you know the effect if you don't try?
Xiao Yuanting is a military general and knows nothing about the affairs of wives and concubines in the inner house. After hearing what Mrs. Xiao said, she can only let her go for the time being. However, she still needs to explain what she should explain beforehand: "You have to tell Li Xue that you are not allowed to do anything to Jiu after you go to the princess mansion."
The princess is rude and offensive, and it is a concubine's duty to be a humble little girl. Even if the ninth princess wants to be beaten or scolded, she must endure it honestly and not resist."
When Mrs. Xiao heard these words, she immediately felt unhappy and subconsciously thought, why should Li Xue suffer this?
But when she thought of Yun Heng, she stopped her anger instantly: "I know, I will explain it to her."
After deciding this matter, Mrs. Xiao ordered her maid to prepare a table of delicious food for Li Xue to make up for the suffering she had suffered during this period.
Li Xue came out of the shower. She looked even more frail in white clothes. Her damp hair was draped behind her shoulders, as if it would fall down in the wind.
Sitting at the table, Mrs. Xiao asked her to have a good meal. While eating, she said: "The Ninth Princess gave Yun Heng a divorce letter——"
Divorce letter?
Li Xue was stunned, Yun Zishu actually wrote a letter of divorce?
So, Yun Zishu will never appear in the Xiao family again?
"Yun Zishu's strong intention to break up alarmed the emperor. The emperor did not allow her to divorce her husband. She was unwilling to compromise. In the end, she had no choice but to let Yun Heng temporarily live in the princess mansion." Mrs. Xiao did not notice Li Xue's expression.
, rolled up his sleeves and poured himself a cup of tea, "Yun Heng is still recuperating at the princess's residence and needs someone to take care of him, so I plan to let you go and take care of him."
Li Xue was dumbfounded: "Brother Heng was injured?"
"Yes." Mrs. Xiao nodded, with anger and distress on her face, "I was punished fifty times by the emperor's decree... If Yun Zishu hadn't wanted to divorce her husband, and Sicang tried his best to defend Yun Zishu, how could the emperor have ordered the rod?
Yun Heng is to blame? It’s all the fault of that little bitch Yun Zishu!”
Listening to her tone, Li Xue still hated Yun Zishu so much that she gritted her teeth and couldn't help but feel relieved.
Before, she was afraid that her aunt would blame her for framing Yun Zishu, so she cried as soon as she came back. After crying, her aunt felt distressed and couldn't bear to blame her again. Unexpectedly, while she was imprisoned in the Shadow Pavilion, Yun Zishu
To make such a big noise.
In this way, even if she comes back in the future, Yun Zishu will completely lose her aunt's heart. After her cousin was beaten, she will definitely blame Yun Zishu in her heart. Yun Zishu will not even think about having a good life in the future!
Li Xue thought like this and nodded obediently: "Don't worry, aunt, Brother Heng is injured. I will definitely take care of him. I will never let him be wronged in the princess's mansion."
"In that case, I will leave it to you to take care of Yun Heng." Mrs. Xiao said, "I will send you to the princess's mansion early tomorrow morning, so that Yun Zishu will not dare to bully you."
Li Xue smiled considerately: "I can go there by myself. My aunt has been working hard for me these two days, and Xue'er feels bad. Besides, it's Xue'er's job to take care of Brother Heng. I don't want my aunt to go see Yun Zishu's
Face."
Mrs. Xiao's expression paused, and when she thought of Yun Zishu's arrogant attitude, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
"It's okay." She gave up the idea of going to the princess's mansion. "Eat a full meal and have a good rest today to recuperate."
Li Xue continued to nod obediently: "Yes."
…
Early the next morning, Li Xue, wearing a lake green dress, arrived in a carriage outside the gate of the Ninth Princess Mansion.
Butler Cheng looked at the brightly dressed but pale and frail woman in front of him and said calmly: "Who are you looking for?"
"I am Li Xue, the side wife of Major General Xiao." Li Xue straightened her expression, with a slightly arrogant tone, "Please let me know, I will take care of Brother Heng."
Butler Cheng looked at the woman in front of him, Major General Xiao's concubine?
It turns out that it was this weak Li who disturbed the general's palace and bullied the princess as a concubine?
"No wonder she's a concubine who doesn't deserve to be seen." Butler Cheng said lukewarmly, with contempt in his tone, "Those ladies or legitimate daughters of serious aristocratic families who come to visit, they have to submit a notice in advance, the side wife
But you came to your door so rashly to ask for an audience, Mrs. Xiao never taught you any rules?"
When Li Xue heard these words, the expression on her face condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye, then turned pale and turned red.
She didn't expect that a housekeeper would dare to humiliate her in person.
Butler Cheng didn't care what she was thinking. In front of Li Xue, he directly had the door of the princess mansion closed, including the side door.
Li Xue watched helplessly as the door was closed in front of her eyes, unable to do anything, and her face was filled with hot embarrassment.
