Yang Xiao waved his hands and walked away. Seeing that the excitement was gone, everyone naturally dispersed in twos and threes.
Xie Shi also wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but before he could take action, Xie Wu had already walked towards him.
"Big, big sister." Looking at Xie Wu approaching, Xie Shi called her with a stiff mouth.
Xie Wu looked at Xie Shi and raised her eyebrows, and said in a cold voice, "Brother Shi, let me ask you, do you know about Yang Xiao breaking off the jade pendant and framing A Xu?"
Xie Shi shook his head hastily, looked at Xie Wu solemnly and replied, "Sister, I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely persuade my cousin."
"So, you mean that Yang Xiao deliberately came to look for A Xu after he was full, right?" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows coldly, and a chill gradually came out of her eyes.
"Well, I didn't know that. My cousin always does whatever he wants..." Xie Shi said with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Then let me ask you again, how did he recognize A Xu at a glance when there were so many young masters by the Fangsheng Pool?" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows and asked again.
"I...I just pointed out Brother Xu to my cousin and told him that was my cousin. I didn't say anything else." Xie Shi frowned and said quickly. After finishing speaking, Xie Wu had a look on her face
With a look of disbelief, he quickly and solemnly added, "Sister, what I said is true, I can swear it!"
After hearing Xie Shi's words, Xie Wu just curled her lips, looked at Xie Shi with an indifferent expression and said loudly, "No matter if you were the instigator of what happened today, you didn't stand up to protect him at the first time.
It’s true that A Xu is being humiliated, and it’s true that you are watching A Xu’s humiliation indifferently! Brother Shi, A Xu calls you big brother, but can you afford to call him big brother?”
Even though Xie Shi had been mentally prepared for it, his face was still flushed and his ears pricked after what Xie Wu said. He was so embarrassed and ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Could it be that both mother and cousin were broken into her hands one after another.
Xie Wu’s mouth is so powerful!
"Young Master." A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Yu Lan walked quickly to Xie Shi, and when she saw Xie Shi lowered his head and looked embarrassed, she hurriedly smiled and blessed Xie Wu and Xie Xu respectively, "Miss, second young master." Finally, she followed Lu politely.
Zhan and others saluted and said hello. After doing all this, they looked at Xie Wu again and said, "Miss, a young master has been sent over from the Main Hall. The Crown Prince's wife has already started preparing to go to offer incense. Therefore, the second lady specially sent a slave to find her."
The eldest son goes back."
Xie Wu looked at Yulan's curved lips and smiled, but did not answer her words.
Yu Lan frowned slightly, but the smile on her face remained unabated. She thought about it and said softly, "Oh, by the way, when the servant came, the Crown Prince's wife also sent someone out. I want to come,
We are looking for the eldest girl and the second young master."
Xie Wu smiled, as if she didn't hear Yulan's words. She turned to look at Xie Shi again with a faint smile and said, "Since the second aunt is here to look for you, brother Shi, you should go back first."
As soon as he heard this, Xie Shi felt like he was on the verge of an amnesty. He quickly raised his hand and bowed to Xie Wu and said, "Sister, I'll leave first." After saying that, he bowed to Lu Zhan and others, and then,
He hurried away with Magnolia.
"This cousin of yours is really nothing! Look at how guilty he is!" Looking at Xie Shi's back, Princess Xiao finally couldn't help but complained loudly behind his back.
Xie Wu raised her lips and smiled, her expression obviously lighter. She looked at Xiao Muqing with a smile and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank the princess today."
If Ah Qing hadn't made Yang Xiao a little more scrupulous, I'm afraid today's things wouldn't have gotten better so quickly. "Ah Wu! I don't like hearing what you say. Why don't you thank me?
You clearly don't consider me a friend!" Xiao Muqing frowned, pretending to be displeased.
Before Xie Wu could answer, Xiao Mubei jumped out from the side.
"That's not right! Thank you, Miss. Why are you only thanking my sister? Lu Er and I also contributed a lot!" After saying this, Xiao Mubei clearly felt that someone beside him was in a happy mood.
Xie Wu curved her lips and smiled, "Originally, I should have said thank you, but the princess just said that there is no need to say thank you between friends, so..."
Xiao Mubei curled his lips, smiled and was about to answer, but unexpectedly, Xie Wu's voice sounded again.
"However, I still have to thank the Crown Prince and Second Young Master Lu for their help." After Xie Wu finished speaking, she did not forget to give a solemn salute to the two of them.
The smile on Xiao Mubei's lips froze in place for an instant.
It’s over, you said the wrong thing!
Xiao Mubei glanced secretly to the side, and sure enough, the air pressure on someone standing aside was obviously two points lower.
Seeing Xie Wu's solemn expression, Xie Xu quickly followed her and bowed solemnly to the two of them, "Thank you, Prince and Second Master Lu, for your help."
Xiao Mubei frowned and raised his hand to knock Xie Xu on the forehead, "It's okay for your sister to say thank you! Why are you joining her in making trouble! Didn't you just say that there is no need to say thank you between friends?"
Xie Xu reacted immediately to such a knock by Xiao Mubei. He touched his forehead and smiled sheepishly.
"Princess, it's getting late, I'm taking A Xu back first." Xie Wu turned around and looked at Xiao Muqing with a smile.
Although Xiao Muqing was reluctant to give up, he had just heard Yulan's words and knew that the Marquis of Wu'an must be looking for Xie Wu, so he could only nod his head and said, "Then you go back quickly. When you get back to the capital, I will be free."
Come find you again."
"She." Xie Wu responded with a smile.
"Brother Xiao, second brother Lu, I will go back with my sister first." Xie Xu also hurriedly said to Xiao Mubei and Lu Zhan.
Xiao Mubei smiled and touched his head and said, "Okay, if you encounter a scoundrel like Yang Xiao again next time, remember to move your second brother Lu out!"
"Okay!" Xie Xu agreed happily.
As soon as Xie Wu and Xie Xu left, Xiao Muqing was too lazy to deal with Xiao Mubei and Lu Zhan. She glanced sideways at her brother, and then said to him with disgust, "Xiao Mubei, don't hang out with Lu Er anymore."
Together, I won’t be led astray by him." After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Mubei to react, he shook his head and walked past Xiao Mubei in a dashing way.
"Lu Er, you won't offend my sister with your bad words again, will you?" Xiao Mubei looked at Lu Zhan with a suspicious look on his face.
Lu Zhan glanced at him coldly, and then, without saying a word, he walked past him.
"Lu Zhan, Lu Ziyuan, okay, okay, I was wrong, just wait for me..." Seeing that no matter how much he shouted, Lu Zhan didn't even pause, Xiao Mubei quickly chased after him and shouted to him begging for mercy.
After finally catching up with Lu Zhan, he saw that his expression was solemn and there was no trace of a smile. Xiao Mubei couldn't help but his eyebrows jumped. He looked at him tentatively and said, "Lu Ziyuan, what's wrong with you today? It's the first day of the new year, you
Why do you look solemn as if you are worried?"
Lu Zhan had a sullen face and did not answer.
Xiao Mubei couldn't help but smile and said, "It can't be because of your Xie family cousin..." Seeing that Lu Zhan didn't hum, Xiao Mubei's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he excitedly grabbed Lu Zhan's arm.
, said with bright eyes, "Lu Er, could it be that I really guessed it right! You are really interested in your cousin from the Xie family!"
That day at Nuange in his house, he could see that Lu Zhan's attitude toward Xie Wu was very different.
Discussing military pay, analyzing the court situation, and making secret plans, all of which he had no intention of avoiding Xie Wu. Moreover, he also revealed to himself that he had someone in his heart...
Thinking of this, Xiao Mubei's eyes suddenly dimmed.
Damn it! He was taken advantage of by Lu Zhan again!
Lu Zhan clearly deliberately led him to guess Xie Wu. Otherwise, how could he encourage his sister to take Xie Wu with him when he went to see Lu Zhan!
Lu Zhan is so cunning!
However, seeing Lu Zhan's unsullied expression at this time, Xiao Mubei couldn't help but lose a lot of the breath he was holding in his heart.
Fortunately, this girl from the Xie family managed to live up to her expectations and was not deceived by Lu Zhan's appearance! If you want to hang this kind of person out, it's best to hang him to death!
"You have time to meddle in my business, why not think about how to let the Minister of Rites speak for the Zhennan Palace after the new year." Lu Zhan said with a cold face.
When this was mentioned, Xiao Mubei immediately became serious, "I have done everything I should do. If I do more, I'm afraid it will arouse Li Shangshu's suspicion."
Li Yannian has been able to stand in the court for so many years, and his prestige in the court is even greater than that of Xu Shoufu, who has a daughter of the queen. Naturally, he is not an ordinary person!
They had already pointed the broken carriage axle to the Xu family. If they tried any more, they would be afraid that it would be counterproductive.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mubei's expression became serious. He looked at Lu Zhan and said, "Ziyuan, do you really think Li Shangshu is willing to speak for the Zhennan Palace?"
The Zhennan Palace is now at odds with the Ministry of Husbandry and the Xu Family.
On New Year's Eve, the queen and the Xu family apologized, and most of the anger accumulated in the emperor's heart had probably dissipated long ago. When the court starts after the new year, the Xu family will at most be reprimanded a few more times, and then let go.
The Ministry of Revenue squeezed out some money and sent it to Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
But this is not what they want to see.
What if this incident was revealed so easily? What about the future?
The Zuiyun Tower incident has caused such a big fuss, and the reason for this is that Xu Shoufu is very sophisticated and well aware that this debt is not counted now, but sooner or later he will have to settle it with the Zhennan Palace in the future.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot let this matter just go unresolved.
"Of course Li Shangshu is willing to speak for the Zhennan Palace. Didn't he also persuade the Ministry of Household Affairs to raise more military pay a year ago? However, if he is to confront the Xu family, or the prince, for this, then he needs to be given a more powerful one.
The reason is enough." Lu Zhan said with his lips curved.
"Isn't the reason that the Xu family tampered with his carriage?" Xiao Mubei looked at Lu Zhan and said in confusion.
Lu Zhan chuckled and shook his head, "Do you think this little thing can impress Li Yannian?"
"Since you can't impress me, then why don't you let me..." Xiao Mubei's face darkened and he became a little angry.
Lu Zhan shook his head helplessly, "There must be an opportunity in everything! This is an opportunity for Li Yannian to speak in the court!"
"Lu Er! Can you please stop showing off!" Xiao Mubei became more confused the more he listened, and the more confused he became, the angrier he became.
