"I, I was scared by the robber last night, and I was worried about my sister's comfort, so I ran out to find her." Xie Ruyin said something inconsistent, with a look of fear on her face. She had always been afraid of Xie Shengli, and now she was even more cowardly when talking to him.
Seeing her like this, Xie Shengli became angrier and said, "Nonsense, your sister told me all this. You are so brave. You dare to meet Prince Duan privately. Do you know what kind of person he is? You can provoke him." Of?!”
Hearing this, Xie Ruyin immediately glared at Xie Ruzhuo bitterly and said, "What's wrong with me pursuing my own happiness? I'm a concubine and can be bullied by anyone in the family. It's rare to have someone who treats me sincerely. Don't you guys Do you want to destroy it too?"
She was confused by Xie Ruzhuo's complaint, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.
The next moment, I saw Xie Shengli furiously saying, "Pursue your own happiness? You are pushing the Xie family into a pit of fire! Someone, take Miss Six back. When will you reflect on yourself and leave the hospital again?"
Hearing that Xie Shengli was going to ground herself, Xie Ruyin immediately felt aggrieved and said, "Grandpa, what did I do wrong that you have to punish me like this? Even though I had a private meeting with Prince Duan, I was acting out of love and not politeness! "
"You're such a polite person, so the second time you go out, you're just too polite! I'll ask you again, how did you get out!" Xie Shengli pointed at her angrily, with a look on his face Disappointment and heartache.
Hearing this, Xie Ruyin's face suddenly turned pale, and she said with a trembling voice, "I was really worried about my sister. Later, the Fifth Prince's people came to pick me up and said they could take me out to find her, so I followed. The Fifth Prince's men also searched all night and came back just before dawn, saying they didn't find it."
"If he takes you out openly, is it possible that the two maids in your room can be knocked unconscious?" Xie Ruzhuo sneered and said, "Sixth sister, your lies are not very similar."
Hearing this, Xie Ruyin's expression froze, and she immediately argued, "I wanted to go out to look for you, but the maid stopped me. And I asked them to strike at different levels, and they were not injured."
Xie Shengli looked at Xie Ruyin in disappointment and said, "I thought that although you were soft-tempered, you were a good boy after all, but now I have misjudged you! You are very good at lying!"
Seeing the expression on Xie Ruyin's face flickering, Xie Ruzhuo knew that what she said was half true and half false, so he said calmly, "Grandpa, don't be too angry, after all, things are still under our control. Although we can't control others, as long as we If you take good care of your own family, no matter what others want to do, they can't do it."
Xie Shengli nodded and said, "Why are you still standing there? Take Miss Six back to the room. You are not allowed to leave unless you have something to do!"
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo's few words, Xie Shengli ignored his explanation. Xie Ruyin suddenly became jealous and looked around with a pair of eyes. When she saw the pot of boiling water, she suddenly had a wrong idea!
As soon as everyone could do anything, they saw Xie Ruyin rushing towards the kettle, holding the water and throwing it back at Xie Ruzhuo!
Thanks to Xie Shengli's quick eyesight and quick hands, he pulled Xie Ruzhuo away in one swift step, and the kettle shattered at Xie Ruzhuo's feet. The scalding hot water was splashed, and steam instantly rose from the ground. If Xie Ruzhuo was hit, the consequences would be unimaginable!
When Xie Ruyin saw that she missed a hit, she picked up the tea cup and tried to smash it again, and said angrily, "Xie Ruzhuo, you ruined me like this! I won't make it easy for you!"
"If you don't rebel, take it for me and take it to the Criminal Training Academy!"
When Xie Shengli saw her looking like a crazy woman, he immediately became furious and said, "For contradicting her elders and murdering her sisters, after thirty lashes, she will be locked up in the side yard of the ancestral hall and not allowed to go out!"
Mrs. Liu was also frightened by Xie Ruyin's madness just now, but when she heard Xie Shengli's words, she immediately knelt down and begged, "Old lady, she is just an ignorant little girl, please spare her!"
"Spare her? Thank you for your words! The Liu family's discipline is not good, and she will be grounded for one month to reflect. If she doesn't reflect well, she will be locked up in the ancestral hall with your daughter!" After Xie Shengli finished speaking, he impatiently ordered his mother and daughter to be removed. People led him out.
After the room was clear, Xie Shengli asked with concern, "Zhuo'er, are you okay?"
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and smiled, "Grandpa, I'm fine. Don't worry."
Seeing her like this, Xie Shengli felt distressed again and said, "Lin Mu, please send Miss Fourth back home."
Xie Ruzhuo felt dizzy at the moment, so he didn't stay much longer. He said hello to Xie Shengli and then went back to his yard to rest.
The first thing Xiao Junhan did after returning was to send someone to send a message to Shen Jingci.
This time, Shen Jingci came a little late. When she got there, she saw Xiao Junhan's naked upper body, and the doctor was carefully applying medicine behind him.
Shen Jingci bowed indifferently, then sat down with a smile, and then said with a smile, "Your Highness, are you okay?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Junhan was getting angry now, and his words were filled with smoke.
Shen Jingci covered her mouth and smiled, and then said seriously, "I think Your Highness is very good. It is a great blessing to escape from death. Now that I have received a God-given opportunity, I am really lucky!"
The doctor turned a deaf ear to their conversation. After giving the medicine, he bowed and left, leaving the space in the room completely to the two of them.
After the doctor left, Xiao Junhan asked cautiously, "What is this God-given opportunity you are talking about?"
Shen Jingci smiled and said, "Your Highness was alone with Miss Xie last night?"
Hearing this, Xiao Junhan's face darkened again, "We were indeed alone together, but I didn't really meet her."
"That's not important. What's important is that a man and a woman have been alone for half a night. Do you think people outside will believe that your relationship is innocent?"
Hearing Shen Jingci's rhetorical question, Xiao Junhan's eyes suddenly lit up, then dimmed again, and said, "But if this happens, the Xie family's daughter's reputation will be ruined. How can the Xie family be willing to sincerely help me?"
"The next step depends on His Highness." Shen Jingci smiled mysteriously and whispered a few words in his ear, and the smile on Xiao Junhan's face widened.
He turned this plan around in his mind for many times before he laughed and said, "Ci'er is indeed my good strategist!"
Shen Jingci touched the kodan on her nails and smiled and said, "When many things are not feasible from a man's point of view, if you do them with a woman's thinking, you will have a different world. After all, women understand women best."
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Hong Rui took people to the street to do shopping. After returning, he entered Xie Ruzhuo's room angrily, but when he saw the latter, he curled his lips sadly.
Xie Ruzhuo saw the change in her expression and said with a smile, "What's going on?"
It's okay that she didn't ask, but when she asked, Hongrui immediately felt like she was about to explode, "Miss, you don't even know that there are so many people there. News about you has spread all over the streets in the past two days."
"What news can you tell me?" Seeing Hong Rui's face, Xie Ruzhuo knew it wasn't good news.
"It is said that you disappeared all night on the day of worshiping ancestors and did not come back until dawn. He also said that you stayed with the second prince alone for one night. It is simply disrespectful of women's shame and immoral..."
Hong Rui couldn't bear to talk anymore after saying this, but Xie Ruzhuo said calmly, "Go on."
Seeing her like this, Hong Rui had no choice but to continue, "Some people say that in order to seduce the second prince, you tried your best to seduce the second prince, and you are even more despicable than the girls in the red sleeves!"
Hong Rui's words fell for a long time, but Xie Ruzhuo never said anything again. Hong Rui looked scared and carefully pulled Xie Ruzhuo's sleeve and said, "Miss, don't be like this. If you feel uncomfortable, just cry. It will be fine if you cry."
However, Xie Ruzhuo slowly sneered and said, "What's there to cry about? I should have thought that with the temperament of those two people, it would be wrong if I let such a good opportunity go. Their style of conduct! Well, if that’s the case, then I don’t have to be polite!”
Since these two people plotted against her, she would return such dirty tricks to them. If it wasn't a conspiracy, then let's discuss the matter openly and openly. In such a secretive way, she would expose the adultery between the two! Let’s see if the cooperation between the two is still so solid at that time!
After the rumors in the capital were spread by thoughtful people, they reached the ears of Emperor Jing. After all, it involved royal matters, and Emperor Jing was a little unhappy. But before he could find the person at the center of the topic, the man involved in the incident had already come to look for him.
As soon as he left the court, Xiao Junhan went straight to the imperial study. When he saw Emperor Jing, he knelt down and said, "Father, I want to apologize to you."
Seeing such a battle, Emperor Jing somewhat understood what he wanted to do, but he still asked indifferently, "Why should I apologize?"
Xiao Junhan lowered his head for a moment, then plucked up the courage to say, "Father, to be honest, Miss Xie's family was implicated by me. Now the affair between the two of us is being spread throughout the capital, and it has also brought shame to the royal family. That’s why I’m here to apologize.”
"Tell me."
Seeing that he had more to say, Emperor Jing simply sat back on the dragon chair, picked up another cup of tea, and drank it by himself.
Xiao Junhan thought about it and said, "I have admired Miss Xie's family for a long time. I went to Fengming Mountain a few days ago and wanted to take this opportunity to express my love to Miss Xie's family. Unexpectedly, Miss Xie's family was kidnapped by bandits. I was in a hurry. We came to the rescue. The bandits recognized Erchen and led people to surround the mountain. The two of us stumbled and fell off the cliff, and then we had the rumored night together. But Erchen swore that Erchen and Miss Xie were innocent and absolutely not. Any personal affair!”
Seeing that Emperor Jing didn't respond, Xiao Junhan gritted his teeth again and said, "But the honor of my daughter's family is very important. I sincerely ask my father to marry the daughter of the Xie family to me. I will definitely treat her well!"
When he was talking, Emperor Jing seemed to be careless, but in fact he was watching his every move. After Xiao Junhan finished speaking, Emperor Jing spoke, but his words were focused on another matter, "The bandits recognized you and led people to surround the mountain? It's quite interesting. After hearing what you said, you also Do you recognize who the bandit is?"
After hearing this, Xiao Junhan immediately hesitated and said, "I don't know about this, my minister."
But the expression on his face was like he was hesitant to speak.
Emperor Jing sneered and said, "Second brother, since when did you start playing tricks on me? Since you know who it is, just tell me. There's no point in letting me guess."
Emperor Jing's words were not serious, but Xiao Junhan broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He said with a troubled face, "Father, I am not a son, but when the thieves searched the mountain, the leader was the fifth brother. "
