General Xie was a little worried when he heard what Mo Li said that Xie Yao had been staying in the yard since he came back yesterday and hadn't gone anywhere.
In addition, the rumors outside have been getting worse recently, so he decided to talk to Xie Yao.
Early in the morning, he took the opportunity to have breakfast and called Xie Yao over.
"When are you going to return to Prince Han's Mansion?" General Xie asked directly.
His direct communication with Xie Yao was always straight to the point and would not be muddled.
"It's not urgent, but it should be soon." Xie Yao smiled lightly and said bluntly.
Li Qiye had already exited. There were only two people in the house, her and her grandfather, so she didn't have to hide it.
"I haven't seen anyone coming from Prince Han's Mansion, nor have you sent a letter to Prince Han's Mansion. How do you communicate with Prince Han?" General Xie's expression was serious.
"There is no communication between us." Xie Yao replied matter-of-factly.
"You don't communicate?" Old General Xie was a little surprised. "You don't have to pass information to each other, how can you cooperate? Aren't you afraid of exposing your secrets?"
Xie Yao was dumbfounded. Chu Han indeed didn't say anything about communicating, and she didn't mention it either.
But for now, it seems that the cooperation is quite tacit, at least there haven't been any problems yet. The best example is the deliberate acting in front of the palace gate for Princess Minghui to see.
"There is still some tacit understanding between King Han and I." This was all she could answer.
Old General Xie's old eyes immediately glanced at Xie Yao with a sharp light, "This matter is of great importance, and there is no room for any negligence or mistakes! You'd better think clearly! If something goes wrong, Prince Han is the prince, and there is no room for any mistakes."
You can only be punished."
Xie Yao nodded seriously, "Grandpa, don't worry, I know all this."
"Knowing that you are still crazy with him? Is the 'tacit understanding' so reliable?" Old General Xie said angrily.
Xie Yao knew that her grandfather was worried and smiled reassuringly, "At least so far, there haven't been any mistakes. Moreover, the matter is almost over."
Old General Xie looked helplessly at his granddaughter, whose wings had grown stiff, and smiled bitterly, "Give me a squeeze on your shoulder! You just scared me, and my shoulder feels uncomfortable again!"
"Yes, please sit down and let your granddaughter massage you." Xie Yao very obediently transformed into a massage technician and began to massage her shoulders.
Perhaps seeing that Xie Yao was not so nervous, the tension in Old General Xie's heart relaxed a lot. He took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know what the rumors outside have become now?"
"I know. Among those rumors, except for the one involving Liang Zhixian, the other rumors were deliberately spread by King Han and I." Xie Yao said it directly, so that her grandfather didn't have to worry so much about it.
Her grandfather was the only one besides her and Chu Han who knew the truth. When she told her grandfather, she was also concerned about his health, just because she didn't want him to worry.
"You are so courageous, you dare to spread everything to the outside world! Aren't you afraid that the consequences will be beyond your control?" General Xie felt relieved and scolded.
"Grandpa, don't worry, everything is under control." Xie Yao was very confident, because Chu Han's method was brilliant!
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she might not have been able to see through it immediately.
"That's best! But Princess Minghui is not an easy person to deal with. Even if you cancel the marriage proposal this time, there is no guarantee that she will have another plan." Old General Xie narrowed his eyes deeply and looked far away.
Xie Yao thought for a while, "This depends on King Han's acting skills! As long as his acting is good, it is possible for Princess Minghui to turn around and return to the country."
General Xie was noncommittal, "I hope so."
Xie Yao smiled, "You are not a woman, so you don't understand women's thoughts."
General Xie made a sound from his nostrils to express his dissatisfaction, "What about men, so what about women! I have lived for decades, and you haven't understood women yet?"
Xie Yao did not argue and continued to massage her grandfather with a smile.
General Xie's dissatisfied look faded, and he suddenly said seriously: "But having said that, I must know men better than you do. With how much King Han treats you, if he deliberately says something to hurt you, I'm afraid he will be hurt."
The hurt is deeper than yours."
"So, if you are hurt by his words, don't hold a grudge against him."
When Xie Yao heard this, her hand movements paused, and she remembered the quarrel in front of the palace gate and the scene at the banquet.
It is impossible to say that I felt magnanimous at that time without any reaction, but the slight sourness was within the controllable range.
Now that my grandfather said this, the suppressed sourness slowly dissipated.
Comparing one's feelings with one's own and saying something hurtful to the other person with a hard heart will indeed hurt you first.
When General Xie saw Xie Yao stop moving, he knew he was right.
He did not disturb Xie Yao. When Xie Yao resumed the massage, he slowly said: "Okay, no need to press. You have been working very hard these days, go back and rest."
"Yes, grandfather." Xie Yao took his hand back, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
Should I tell my grandfather about Xie Wenwu?
After looking for Princess Minghui before, she thought about it carefully and calmly, and concluded that Princess Minghui most likely just got the news that Xie Wenwu was alive, but did not know Xie Wenwu's exact location.
Because Xie Wenwu is smart and will not stay in a place where he can be easily discovered by others. If he wants to hide, not even Princess Minghui, not even Chu Han can easily find her.
In this case, let's wait until we have accurate information before telling my grandfather.
Seeing Xie Yao standing still, General Xie asked, "Do you have anything else?"
Xie Yao came back to her senses and shook her head quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. I was just thinking about what else to do besides sleeping when I go back."
"Go to sleep if you don't know what to do! You haven't gotten enough sleep during this period." General Xie said directly in a commanding tone.
"Yes, granddaughter obeys the order." Xie Yao responded with a smile and left.
After returning to Lianshui Pavilion, before Xie Yao could rest, a servant came over.
"Princess Qi, Prince Chen is here and wants to see you." The servant reported.
Xie Yao was a little curious, what was Chu Ye doing here? Did he also persuade her to return to Prince Han's Mansion?
"Let Prince Chen go to the side hall, I'll be there right away."
"Yes." The servant withdrew.
Xie Yao sorted it out briefly, and when she went to the side hall, she saw her grandfather was there.
"Grandpa." Xie Yao greeted.
Old General Xie sat at the head of the table and nodded slightly towards Xie Yao, "I heard that King Chen was coming, and I had nothing to do, so I came over to take a look."
Xie Yao nodded slightly, then looked at Chu Ye, "King Chen, I've kept you waiting for a long time. I wonder why you came to me?"
Chu Ye looked at Xie Yao and smiled gently, "I just happened to get a batch of medicinal materials to replenish the body. Remembering that Marquis Ping Dong had just recovered from a serious illness and was weak, he thought of sending them over so that he could make the best use of them."
General Xie said in a deep voice, "I am in good health. Prince Chen should take the things back!"
