Hearing a "click" sound, Xie Ruzhuo placed the tea cup in his hand on the table and frowned. She was just about to speak when she heard Mrs. Qiao speak coldly, "Third Miss, please don't talk nonsense. Not to mention that ministers should protect the royal heirs with their lives. Today's Holy Emperor treats all princes with the same heart and is fair to everyone." Yes, how can we favor one over the other? Your Majesty takes pity on the fourth sister and is loyal to the country. Your Majesty’s grace has rewarded you with something. We should be extremely grateful. How can we plot against the Emperor behind his back?!"
As she said this, her tone became a little more serious and she said, "If the Holy One finds out, do you know how much of a crime this will bring to the Xie family? That's disrespectful!"
Xie Rulan's hand that was about to touch the jewelry suddenly stopped, and she was stunned by what Qiao said. Then she looked at her mother, Lu, a little aggrieved, and said, "Mom, that's not what I meant. ." Everyone was saying this on the street, so why did he get such a big label after he said it!
Mrs. Lu's eyes were originally on the jewelry, but after hearing this, she immediately frowned, "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong, isn't it? Children can be outspoken. Besides, it's not like the four girls narrowly escaped death in a hunting ground. False. Are you saying that because the fourth girl was not born in your belly, so you want to deliberately erase her credit? "
As soon as Lu said these words, Qiao's face suddenly turned dark. This Mr. Lu has always loved to stir up trouble. Over the years, the older Xie Ruzhuo gets, the more he likes to go against himself. This may not be without Mr. Lu’s credit! She originally wanted to warn Xie Rulan, but now that Mrs. Lu said it, she stopped her!
Unexpectedly, Xie Ruzhuo spoke coldly, "Auntie, I don't know the reason, so just don't say anything. That's what I wanted to say just now. The third sister really said it. How can this royal person arrange it at will? Lei Lei Rain and dew are nothing more than the kindness of a king. If the emperor gives you something, just accept it. But if we take credit for it, and one day the thunder will be furious, and a decree of confiscation of the house will be imposed, we will not have to accept the gratitude? "
Lu's breath froze. Wasn't this what she expected? Shouldn't Xie Ruzhuo be acting mean to Mrs. Qiao at this time? How could he help her instead
"Well, fourth girl, that's not what Auntie meant. You know, Auntie never gets used to seeing others bully you, so she speaks faster."
As he said that, Mrs. Lu played the tenderness card again, "Oh, it was your mother who died early. Your mother, who was so gentle, was a beauty but a poor girl..."
Mrs. Qiao had long been used to Mrs. Lu being like this, so she said, "Since the third brother and sister know that the fourth sister is pitiful, they shouldn't say this when she is seriously injured. It's already late, so let's let her have a good rest." I just want to see it, but I can come back to visit another day!”
"If you want to leave, you can go. I want to accompany my fourth sister."
A flash of anger flashed in Xie Rulan's eyes, she glared at Mrs. Qiao and said.
What she actually hates more is Xie Ruzhuo, who is also a legitimate daughter. She is older than Xie Ruzhuo, but just because she is the eldest son, she is a head above her in everything! Why! If she had entered the hunting ground that time, maybe the incredible wealth would have been hers, and it would be Xie Ruzhuo's turn there!
But she only thought of these, but she never thought that when faced with a life-or-death situation, with her greedy and fearful character, she might have fled long ago. How could she save a prince who had nothing to do with her
Seeing that the greed in Xie Rulan's eyes had not gone away, Xie Ruzhuo said calmly, "Third sister, if you want to stay, then just stay. Qianbi, check out the things and put them in the small warehouse. Remember to lock them, this is the royal family's. If one of the rewards is lost, it would be a serious crime to lose one’s head!”
After saying that, he said to Mr. Lu helplessly, "Well, the emperor might as well have given you some gold and silver cloth as a reward. Now these things seem to be valuable, but they have to be wiped clean, wrapped and enshrined. It's a serious sin, and to be rewarded with these things is really a punishment."
Mr. Lu and Xie Rulan were frightened, and Xie Rulan was even more stunned and asked, "Do I still have to offer this thing?" Is there such a thing as a royal reward
