The play in Changyin Tower soon came to an end, and the girls who were admiring the flowers in the garden returned happily.
Princess Zhennan glanced at the girls without leaving a trace, and found that Princess Jiayi and the second girl of the Xie family, Xie Yuan, were missing.
Could it be that the two of them were the ones in trouble?
While Princess Zhennan was thinking, Xie Min suddenly smiled and asked Lu Yi in a loud voice, "Sister Yi, why are you the only one? Sister Rong and Sister Yuan? Why didn't you see them?"
"Second sister should take sister Ranyuan to go shopping somewhere else!" Lu Yi said with a curved lip.
Xie Min smiled brightly when he heard this and said, "Sister Rong got a box of palace flowers. I think I took Sister Yuan to see the palace flowers!"
When she smiled like this, all the ladies also started laughing, and all the doubts in their hearts were dispelled by her words, except for Princess Zhennan's eyebrows twitching slightly.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone began to stand up and say goodbye one after another.
Xie Min hurriedly led Nanzhu to see off the guests.
"Ah Wu, should we go back now, or..." Seeing more and more people saying goodbye, Mrs. Chen couldn't sit still.
She had been smiling all day today. Every word she said had to be thought about two or three times in her mind before she dared to say it. At the end of the whole day, she felt that her face was stiff and her hands and feet were so weak that she could not lift it.
A little more energy.
"Mom, don't you wait for the second sister?" Xie Wu looked back at Chen and said with a smile.
Ms. Chen frowned and then remembered that Xie Yuan hadn't come back yet.
"These people are almost gone, why hasn't Sister Yuan come back yet? Do you want to send someone to call her?" Mrs. Chen continued to whisper to Xie Wu.
"Mother, please wait a little longer." Xie Wu looked at Chen and said calmly.
The corners of Chen's lips moved, and she wanted to say something more, but seeing Xie Wu's cold expression, she thought for a while and finally swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Just wait, people are almost gone now anyway.
At this time, Princess Zhennan, who had been sitting upright, also stood up.
"Princess, let me take you out!" Xie Min hurriedly walked over and said to Princess Zhennan with a smile.
"No, no, it's hard to come here. I want to see Ning'an." Princess Zhennan looked at Xie Min with a smile.
Looking at Princess Zhennan's smiling face, Xie Min curled her lips and said, "Then I'll let the maid show you the way." After saying that, she turned back and pointed to the maid.
As soon as Princess Zhennan left, the other ladies also retired one after another. For a while, only Mrs. Chen, Xie Wu, Xie Xian and Xie Min's mother and daughter were left in the spacious flower hall.
As soon as the person left, the gentle and warm smile on Xie Min's face gradually faded away. She walked up to Mrs. Chen, glanced sideways at her and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go!"
"Let's go, where are we going?" Mrs. Chen looked at Xie Min confused.
Xie Min raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when Xie Wu's cold voice suddenly interrupted.
"Of course I'm going to see my second sister! Right, aunt."
Xie Min frowned and glanced at Xie Wu in surprise. Then, the corners of her lips suddenly curled up slightly and she said with a faint smile, "You are more aware than your mother."
Xie Wu lowered her eyes and smiled, and did not answer Xie Min's words again.
The group of people quickly left the flower hall and walked through the verandah back to Mingya Courtyard.
At this time, Xie Yuan had also changed into a set of clean clothes and was holding a heater in her hand. However, her hair was still wet, and her round face was full of anxiety and uneasiness, especially when she heard the voice of the maid outside saying hello.
At that time, she was even more panicked and couldn't get up. In the end, Lu Rong couldn't see it anymore and reached out to help her.
"Auntie." Lu Rong called Xie Min first, and then she turned to Mrs. Chen and called out, "Auntie."
Mrs. Chen glanced at Lu Rong in surprise. When she realized that she was calling her 'aunt', she hurriedly lowered her head and responded in a low voice.
"Aunt, aunt..." Xie Yuan hid behind Lu Rong and shouted in a low voice.
"Hey, Sister Yuan, what's wrong with you? Why is your hair so wet!" Lu Yi shouted as if he had discovered a new world.
Xie Min didn't seem to hear Lu Yi's words. She walked up to the rosewood chair and sat down. The maid served the tea carefully. She picked up the tea cup and called Mrs. Chen next to her to drink tea.
, from beginning to end, she didn’t even look at Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan became even more panicked, and her hands on Lu Rong became tighter and tighter.
Lu Yi smiled, walked over to Xie Wu and sat down obediently, but he kept glancing at Xie Yuan from the corner of his eye, as if he was waiting for a good show.
"Sister Rong, what are you doing standing there? You should be thirsty after being out for so long. Sit down and have a sip of tea!" Xie Min looked up at Lu Rong and said suddenly.
"Yes, eldest aunt." Lu Rong responded guiltily. She was about to walk to the chair and sit down, but found that Xie Yuan was holding her hand tightly, and she couldn't pull it out no matter how hard she tried.
"Sister Rong, don't, don't leave me..." Xie Yuan's tears that had just stopped fell again.
Lu Rong glanced at her with some embarrassment and was about to speak, but Lu Yi suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. She said, "Sister Yuan, why are you dragging my second sister? Do you also want to be thirsty?
Want tea?"
Xie Yuan's face was offended by Lu Yi's words, and the hand holding Lu Rong loosened unconsciously.
Seeing Xie Yuan's guilty and cowering look, the disgust and contempt in Xie Min's heart kept pouring out like a tide.
With her appearance, she still dares to think about designing Brother Zhan!
If it doesn't work once, she dares to rush in and do it a second time! Who does she think brother Zhan is? Where does she put her aunt? If she had known this, she should not have come forward to speak for her. Now, Zhan
What should I think of my eldest aunt?
The more Xie Min thought about it, the angrier she became, so she became even meaner when she spoke, "No matter who is thirsty, your sister Yuan will not be thirsty either. All the water in the lake almost went into her stomach. How could she?"
Feeling thirsty!"
The lake is full of water...
Lu Yi blinked her eyes fiercely. Even though she tried her best to restrain herself, her eyes still showed a bit of excitement and gloating, "Mom, did Sister Yuan fall into the lake?"
After hearing Lu Yi's words, Mrs. Chen's eyes widened. She looked at Lu Yi, then at Xie Yuan, and finally glanced at Xie Min, who had a cold face. She pursed her lips again and again, and finally
Still didn't dare to follow Lu Yi's question.
When I came here, the old lady told me that if I said too much, I would be wrong, but if I didn't say anything, it would be good.
Therefore, she suppressed all the shock and questions in her heart.
Xie Wu, on the other hand, slightly raised her eyebrows after hearing what Xie Min and Lu Yi said.
One look at Xie Yuan's appearance showed that she had fallen into the water. However, from her aunt's intriguing tone, it seemed that Xie Yuan's fall into the water was not an easy matter this time!
However, it is useless even if it is not simple, because the only person standing here now is Xie Yuan.
Lu Zhan's absence proves that Xie Yuan's strategy did not work.
However, this was what she had expected.
If Lu Zhan could be plotted so easily, then he would not be the ruthless Prince Rui.
Xie Yuan was also unable to hold her head up due to what Xie Min and Lu Yi said. She could only lower her head in mission and kept sobbing softly.
Looking at Xie Yuan who kept twitching and sobbing, Lu Yi pressed hard on the upturned corners of his mouth and sighed heavily, "Oh, Sister Yuan, why are you so careless! If I had known better, you might as well have gone to the garden with us.
Enjoy the flowers inside!”
"Sister Yi, please stop talking." Lu Rong was afraid of embarrassing Xie Yuan, so he frowned and whispered to Lu Yi.
You will be a good person!
No wonder you can only be led by the nose!
Lu Yi cursed a few words in her mind, then she curled her lips towards Lu Rong and then turned her face away.
"Auntie, Sister Yuan knows she is wrong, she was just impulsive..." Lu Rong thought for a while, and finally decided to intercede on Xie Yuan's behalf.
Looking at Lu Rong with a sincere face, Xie Min sighed softly. She waved to Lu Rong. When Lu Rong came to her, she took her sign and said sincerely, "Sister Rong, you are
Be kind, otherwise, she won't take advantage of you."
"Auntie, what are you talking about?" Lu Rong panicked.
"Silly boy, can't you see it now? Sister Yuan is taking advantage of you. Do you really think she wants to explain to Brother Zhan what happened in the last meeting! She wants to force Brother Zhan to marry her!" Thank you!
Min looked at Lu Rong sadly and said loudly.
Lu Rong was stunned.
It was Lu Yi who reacted first. She stood up suddenly, stared at Xie Min with a shocked face and asked, "Mom, what did you just say? You said Xie Yuan wants to force my second brother to marry her?"
Xie Xian, who had always lowered her head and dared not speak, was also shocked by these sudden words.
At this time, Lu Rong finally came to her senses. She shook her head and kept whispering, "No, no way... Sister Yuan will not do this!"
But Xie Min was not moved at all by her words. In fact, after hearing her words, she curled her lips and sneered twice again, "Otherwise, why do you think she tried every means to trick you into meeting Brother Zhan?
Why did you jump into the water after meeting Brother Zhan?”
"Mom, why?" Lu Yi asked hurriedly.
"Fool, she wanted Brother Zhan to save her! Think about it, what would have happened if Brother Zhan hadn't calmed down and jumped into the water to rescue her?" Xie Min looked at the two of them with hatred.
Lu Yi blushed slightly, then she gave Xie Yuan a hard look and said, "How shameless!"
Xie Yuan was mercilessly exposed by Xie Min, and she retreated in shame, wishing to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Lu Rong finally realized something at this moment. She suddenly turned around and rushed to Xie Yuan, "Sister Yuan, is what aunt said true? Have you been lying to me and using me?"
Seeing Xie Yuan didn't answer, Lu Rong even held her shoulders excitedly.
Xie Yuan was so shaken by Lu Rong that her heart trembled. She felt that the last bit of her face had been stripped to the ground. There were so many faces around her, but every face was filled with hatred and disgust for her.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Xie Yuan finally screamed uncontrollably. She pushed Lu Rong away fiercely, and the heater in her hand hit the ground with a clang.
This sudden sound finally caused a moment of silence in the room.
"Xie Yuan, are you crazy enough?" In the end, Xie Min spoke first with a stern face.
"No! I'm right! Why do you say that to me!" Xie Yuan raised her head with a distorted face, and screamed at Xie Min desperately.
Xie Wu lowered her eyes and looked at her slender fingers folded on her legs, and a slight sneer escaped from the corners of her lips.
Only those who have reached the end of their rope will risk their lives desperately.
