Xie Ruzhuo and Xie Ruyue were hiding in the dark and could see clearly that the two people were clearly the consort and Ruyi. No wonder they saw the consort leaving in a hurry at the banquet. It turned out that he came here to have a private meeting with someone.
Despite the good princess, she actually likes this bitch! Could it be that he was fed an ecstasy soup
However, this was the eldest princess's family matter. Xie Ruzhuo and Xie Ruyue didn't want to pay attention to it. Seeing that the prince-in-law was about to find their hiding place, Xie Ruzhuo gritted his teeth. What would he do if he was discovered
Xie Ruzhuo secretly rubbed her knees. If she hadn't accidentally screamed, she wouldn't have been in a situation where she had nowhere to escape. But now that the matter had come to this, she had no way out. She could only think about the current bargaining chip in her heart. If she was discovered by the consort later, how should she respond to give herself a chance of winning
Did they say they didn't see anything
They are not blind! What's more, the voice was so ambiguous that even the girls who had not left the court knew what was going on.
That they can't say anything
I'm afraid the prince-in-law won't believe it.
Just as the consort was about to arrive at the hiding place of Xie Ruzhuo and Xie Ruyue, a familiar voice suddenly came, successfully stopping the consort from exploring.
"My uncle is actually here. It's really easy for me to find him."
If they take one more step forward, they will be discovered! Xie Ruzhuo held her breath. She could even clearly smell the faint fragrance of her daughter on the consort, which was of course left by Ruyi.
This smell really makes me sick!
"Why is the Third Emperor's nephew here?" The prince-in-law was nervous. Could it be that he discovered the scene just now? It's just that the voice sounds like a woman's voice, not like the person in front of me.
Xiao Junxi smiled faintly and did not expose him. She only said, "Second brother said that I would stay with you until I was drunk, but you disappeared as soon as I said that. His wine is not very good, so I came here to find my uncle."
Seeing that what he said was reasonable and reasonable, the prince-in-law gradually let go of his heavy heart. Thinking that he might not have found any clues, he smiled and said, "Thank you very much, nephew, I'll be there right away."
As he said that, he suddenly stopped again and said tentatively, "Hey, that's right, I seemed to hear someone shouting just now. I wonder if the Third Emperor's nephew heard it?"
Xiao Junxi snorted coldly in her heart, and glanced at Xie Ruzhuo and Xie Ruyue hiding in the dark. The consort's ears were really bright. However, it is not surprising that people who do bad things always need to be more vigilant.
"Maybe my uncle heard wrongly."
Xiao Junxi didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so she turned her attention to the eldest princess's maid. He recognized this woman, wasn't she her aunt's personal official Ruyi. Although he had just arrived, it was not difficult to think of what had just happened.
In a hurry, this woman's clothes were still a little messy, and any discerning person who saw her would be aware of these dirty things.
Zuo just didn't want to expose it, so as not to stain his own eyes!
"Perhaps I'm old, so I really heard wrong." The prince-in-law laughed. He just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly. After a long time, Xiao Junxi might see the clues, "I'm going to gone back."
Xiao Junxi nodded and watched the consort and the palace maid walk away dejectedly.
"Everyone come out."
After making sure that there was no one around, Xiao Junxi said loudly, Xie Ruyue and Xie Ruzhuo knew that Xiao Junxi had discovered them and could not continue to hide them, so they walked out gracefully, "Thank you, Third Prince, for the rescue!"
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Junxi said calmly that the two of them were destined to be together. If the two sisters were discovered by the consort, they would avoid being retaliated against in the future.
Xie Ruzhuo was limping, and she breathed hissingly, "I don't know who hit me with a stone just now, otherwise it wouldn't have caused so many troubles."
As she was holding her breath and concentrating just now, Xie Ruzhuo didn't feel the pain in her knee was unbearable. But now that she was relieved, she felt very uncomfortable.
"Did Zhuo'er hurt his bones?"
Xie Ruyue just breathed a sigh of relief, but then became worried again after hearing this. However, after hearing what Xie Ruzhuo said, she felt more and more that someone was deliberately plotting against them.
It would be of no benefit to them to ruin the good deeds of the consort and the palace maid, not to mention that the consort would hold a grudge because of it, and it would also stain his own eyes.
After all, they are still young ladies waiting to be married. If this matter is spread, it will also be detrimental to the reputation of Xie Ruzhuo and Xie Ruyue.
The person who planned it is too insidious!
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter." She was not that delicate, but what happened today was really weird. She thought that the person who wanted to hurt her must have known about the consort and Ruyi's affair, so he deliberately let her bump into him.
From this, it seems that this person is quite scheming!
No wonder the palace maid who led them disappeared for no reason. This move must have been planned by the person behind the scenes.
After thinking about it, she raised her head and asked, "Third Prince, did you see anyone else here just now?"
Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo was fine, Xiao Junxi also felt relieved, "I have never seen it before, but this matter is strange. I will let the secret guards investigate it. But you have been out for a long time, so why not go back first? This matter Check back later.”
Xie Ruzhuo thought it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Well, let's ask the third prince to do it to the end. The eldest princess's house is too big, and it goes in circles. We happen to not know how to get back."
Seeing that she spoke calmly and without the slightest hint of embarrassment that she was lost, Xiao Junxi couldn't help but laugh. It was just a matter of talking to him. If those gossipy ladies heard it, they wouldn't treat it as an afterthought. The laughing stock
Although he was complaining like this, Xiao Junxi was leading the way, and it took about a stick of incense to return to the banquet place.
The two of them had been away from the table for a long time, so they quietly returned to their place and sat down. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiuyan was still sitting on Xie Ruzhuo's seat and refused to leave.
She deliberately poured tea on herself, forcing herself to change clothes, and then she bumped into the consort and Ruyi's good deeds.
But, this is too seamless!
Xie Ruzhuo didn't think Zhang Xiuyan really had such a thoughtful mind. If she had been so smart, she would have already taken Xiao Junhan into her pocket, so why would she be jealous of herself
Everyone couldn't figure out the key to this matter, so Xie Ruzhuo simply stopped thinking about it, thinking that Zhang Xiuyan was here to cause trouble.
No problem, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth!
As soon as she saw Xie Ruzhuo's return, Zhang Xiuyan immediately spoke sarcastically like a fighting cock, "Hey, Miss Xie is finally willing to come back. The eldest princess even asked why you haven't come back for so long, which makes people worried."
Xie Ruzhuo sneered in his heart. If Zhang Xiuyan hadn't reminded her, how could the eldest princess have noticed how long she and Xie Ruyue had left the table
"Miss Zhang, it's just that it took a while to pick out some clothes."
After saying that, Xie Ruzhuo deliberately raised the sleeves of his spring shirt. The color of this dress is very similar to the one he was wearing before, which shows that Xie Ruzhuo did it on purpose.
No need for Xie Ruzhuo to remind her, Zhang Xiuyan had noticed Xie Ruzhuo's new clothes a long time ago. She was suffocating in her heart, but she couldn't pour another glass of water, so she had to pretend that she couldn't see it.
"Miss Xie doesn't need to be so secretive. How can the Xie Mansion be compared to the Eldest Princess's Mansion? It's understandable that she came back late."
Zhang Xiuyan's words were an insinuation that the Xie Mansion was a small family, not as big as the Princess Mansion, so it was expected that they would get lost.
Although it was true that he was lost, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't admit it. These gossipy women were used to telling nonsense and spreading it from one person to another, but they really thought that they were short-sighted.
"In this way, the Zhang family can be compared with the princess's mansion. Zhuo'er sees that Miss Zhang seems to be used to these scenes."
Xie Ruzhuo silently put a big hat on Zhang Xiuyan, successfully making Zhang Xiuyan change her expression. She nodded or shook her head, and could only have a blank expression, pretending that she had not heard what Xie Ruzhuo said.
After a while, Zhang Xiuyan smiled coldly. In her heart, she really believed that she was a royal noble. She was the cousin of the second prince. Her status was noble and naturally not comparable to people like Xie Ruzhuo.
After thinking about it, she said fiercely, "This is not the Xie family's back garden after all. You'd better not wander around. Be careful. I'll tell the eldest princess and let her punish you!"
Xie Ruzhuo snorted coldly, "This is the princess's mansion, and the rules are naturally set by the eldest princess. When will it be your turn to warn me as a fellow guest?"
After being choked, Zhang Xiuyan's face turned red, and her watery eyes seemed to be about to shed tears. Then she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "All the young ladies are here today, and several princes and princes are not here. Is it possible that you and the Xie family are not here?" Did the second lady go to meet the prince by chance?"
Xie Ruzhuo was shocked. It was true that she and Xie Ruyue had met Xiao Junxi just now. If they hadn't met Xiao Junxi, they might not have been able to get out of the siege.
However, from what Zhang Xiuyan said, she actually knew about this, or maybe she was just deceiving herself.
Could it be that Zhang Xiuyan really had something to do with this matter
There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but Xie Ruzhuo did not show his emotions at all, and only said lightly, "Miss Zhang's words are wrong. I have already said that it was just a waste of time picking out clothes. Miss Zhang does not need to presume to make trouble out of nothing. What's more, the Xie family has very strict upbringing and will never allow such a thing to happen."
If Xie Ruzhuo's words were to be believed, Zhang Xiuyan would rather believe that there was no personal relationship between her and Xiao Junhan, so she curled her lips with a hint of disdain and said, "You know whether you have done it or not. It's just no one else." See, if there are witnesses, let’s see how you can explain clearly!”
Xie Ruzhuo was too lazy to argue, but when he heard Zhang Xiuyan forcefully pouring dirty water on him, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't bear his temper, "I don't have the ability to make the second prince admire me, but I am causing trouble. Could it be the rules of the Zhang family?" ? If this is the case, when Zhuo'er meets the old lady someday, he should ask for advice. He should judge others by himself, and please respect yourself, Miss Zhang!"
This was Zhang Xiuyan's pain point. She was deliberately trying to displease Xiao Junhan. However, someone like Xie Ruzhuo could get into Xiao Junhan's eyes, which really made her angry.
"Since Zhuo'er is back, why not accompany me around."
It’s Xiao Junhan again!
With Xiao Junhan on one side and Zhang Xiuyan on the other, Xie Ruzhuo felt a tightness in his chest, as if a big stone was pressing down on him. She felt angry, and she immediately looked at Xie Ruyue with a pair of water-colored eyes. She had no conscience, and she didn't want to go out with Xiao Junhan.
Xie Ruzhuo was not afraid that Zhang Xiuyan's knife-like gaze would pierce him to death, but he really resisted being with Xiao Junhan from the bottom of his heart.
"I think Miss Xie is tired of walking. If my cousin wants to relieve his boredom, why don't you go for a walk with Yan'er?"
Before Xie Ruyue came to the rescue, Zhang Xiuyan volunteered to stand up. Such an excellent opportunity must not be given away to Xie Ruzhuo in vain.
Xie Ruzhuo breathed a sigh of relief. Since Zhang Xiuyan desperately wanted to be with Xiao Junhan, why not go with the flow and let them work together
