The Xie family didn't dare to delay now, and hurried to where the prince and others were. Unexpectedly, they just walked around the road and heard a familiar voice, "Eh? Sister, aunt, you guys
Why are you here?"
Hearing this voice, all the Xie family members turned their faces, and saw Xie Songhua, Xie Langhua, and Xie Tu walking together, holding a bunch of candied haws in their hands, with a cheerful smile on their faces. They looked like they were shopping.
Very happy.
When Mrs. Qi heard herself let out a long sigh of relief, she almost felt a sense of joy falling from heaven.
An and Yu also felt like they had narrowly escaped death. Yu quickly said, "Where are you from?"
Only Xie Shuhua looked at Xie Songhua as if she had seen a ghost, "You...why are you with them?"
"Don't mention it. The fourth sister got lost and wandered around under the banyan tree. If my second brother and I hadn't gone there, she wouldn't have known when she would be able to get out."
In fact, no one cares about Xie Tu's words. As long as Xie Songhua comes back safely and the prince's affairs have nothing to do with her, everyone's heart will be relieved.
Only Xie Shuhua was trembling involuntarily. She stared at Xie Songhua's face, as if she wanted to stab two holes in it to see if it was covered with a mask.
How could she escape?!
Xie Songhua noticed her gaze and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Third sister, why are you staring at me like this? But what's wrong?"
Everyone else's attention was on the goldfish pond and could no longer care about here. Mrs. Qi said displeasedly: "There are so many people tonight. Even if you know a lot about things, you should know that if you follow your family closely, this
If a person runs out recklessly, what should he do if something happens?"
Xie Sihua quickly agreed, "That's right, I just know how to play, but the girl at the other end who doesn't know whose family fell into the goldfish pond for no reason.
I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince fished it out wet, and the most important thing is that it broke the lamp of the Holy One. I don’t know what the consequences will be!"
This matter involves the honor of the Holy Emperor and the royal family. Now that she knows that Xie Songhua is not involved, Qi said: "Let's go home as soon as possible! After playing all night, you should have enjoyed yourself."
However, Xie Sihua still put her feet up and looked in the direction of the goldfish pond. Mrs. Yu pulled her up, her eyes hinting at warning.
After all, they are all girls raised by aristocratic families, so they still have some sense of propriety.
When the group returned home and arrived at the Shou'an Hall, even the old lady heard about the goldfish pond.
"Your master has just sent us the news. The person who fell into the water was the third girl of the Zhao family, who is also the cousin of the Crown Princess."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised. An quickly said: "It could be her? Logically speaking, others don't know about the arrangement of praying in the goldfish pond. How could the Zhao family not know about it?"
And how come the third girl from the Zhao family appeared alone at the goldfish pond at that time? She just happened to fall into the water at that moment!"
How could there be so many coincidences? All coincidences are just deliberate arrangements by thoughtful people.
The old lady's eyes briefly glanced at Xie Songhua. Although she immediately fell elsewhere, Xie Songhua still felt the scrutiny in her eyes.
"No matter how this happened, what's more important right now is the result," the old lady looked a little serious, "According to this attitude, Miss Zhao San is definitely going to enter the East Palace. She is a legitimate daughter.
The position of a concubine is a sure thing.
But this is really inappropriate for His Highness the Crown Prince’s reputation, and with so many people watching, I don’t know what kind of flattering remarks will be made.”
Mrs. Yu frowned and whispered: "The Crown Princess is the Queen's niece, and she is from the Zhao family. Anyway, marrying another daughter of the Zhao family is really a bit difficult for the Crown Prince..."
"So isn't it obvious?" An couldn't help but interjected, "Someone deliberately harmed the prince! Not only did he have to marry the sister-in-law, but he also broke the Holy Spirit's blessing lamp. Next, not only will he have to bear the Holy Spirit's blame, but also
It's really miserable to have to endure the long words of the people."
"Be careful what you say!" The old lady interrupted her words in a stern tone, and then glanced at everyone present with a cold look, "All discussions about today's matter end here, after you leave this door, you
They all closed their mouths tightly.
The affairs of the Tian Family are not something ordinary people like us can discuss arbitrarily. Besides..."
She paused and her tone became more serious, "As for the destiny of the girl in our house, if I hear someone talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude."
Qi and Xie Shuhua were suddenly startled and looked at Mrs. Xie in surprise.
Then I found that the old man's eyes were locked on their mother and daughter.
On the side, An's face couldn't help showing some sarcasm. She was obviously gloating about the misfortune but pretended to be worried: "Actually, I have wanted to say this for a long time, and I don't know who Hu Xin is from.
It means that our three and four girls have become the talking points of those stupid people outside, and we have not ruined the reputation of the girl's family."
The old lady gave her a sideways look, but what she said was not wrong, and it was consistent with the old lady's current thoughts, so she didn't say anything.
On the other hand, Mrs. Qi's face turned ugly, but she still had to say reluctantly: "What the old lady said is that the servants' mouths must be carefully controlled."
She said so, but as soon as she returned to the Summer Palace, her face fell involuntarily, and Xie Shuhua was even more anxious, "Mom! What did the old lady mean just now? Did she change her mind?"
Mrs. Qi shook her head, glanced at her daughter worriedly, and then nodded again: "I'm afraid it's not just the old lady, but this is probably your father's intention as well."
"How can that be done?!" Xie Shuhua looked at her in disbelief, "Didn't he acquiesce before?"
"With today's incident, the prince will no longer be able to marry Xie Songhua. She can't enter the East Palace, so how can you enter the third prince's mansion? Your father's cautious temperament cannot overwhelm Duan Bianbao."
"Why can't you enter the East Palace? Doesn't the prince still have the position of a concubine? Even if the concubine is gone, Liang Di will still be there!"
"Shu'er!" Ms. Qi interrupted her loudly, "You know this is impossible. Under such circumstances, the prince married a daughter of the Zhao family as a concubine. How could the emperor marry another one for him?
What's more, you should know that what you are talking about about Liangdi is nonsense. Your father is also a court elder after all, and your grandfather was once the emperor's master. Letting your father's legitimate daughter be the crown prince's Liangdi, how does this make others think?
Home?"
Xie Shuhua opened her mouth and was speechless. In fact, she understood Qi's reasoning, but she was completely unable to accept this matter.
The third prince arranged it for Xie Songhua, so why did he suddenly become a girl from the Zhao family?
If Xie Songhua was fished out by the prince tonight, and she was nailed into the East Palace, then Xie Yuncang would help her marry the third prince no matter what.
But now this matter has developed in the completely opposite direction. What should she do now?
Xie Shuhua couldn't find the answer, and no one could give her the answer.
She was shocked and angry all night. Who knew that even more shocking news would be waiting for her the next day.
