The eldest young master of the Xie family, Xie Xianyu, was like a spring breeze and a graceful orchid—refined, elegant, and, rarest of all, blessed with a compassionate heart.
A year ago, h...
Qing'an returned and reported to Xie Xianyu, "My cousin has agreed. We will go to Xiangrui Tower as scheduled this evening."
Xie Xianyu's lips curled up slightly, "Hmm."
Su Yan was shocked and asked, "Wan? Isn't King Jin Wan going to take action? Where are you two going to commit suicide for love?"
"You think I'm you?"
Su Yan said: "Then what are you doing there?"
"I have my own arrangements."
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be riots near Xiangrui Tower. This time it is not caused by horse bandits, but involves a struggle for the throne. Some people can't help but want to take action and take advantage of the chaos to eliminate dissidents, while others are playing the long game and waiting for the fish to bite.
Xie Xianyu could have just stood by and watched, and avoided it, but he refused.
Su Yan shook his head: "She doesn't know whether she is lucky or unlucky that you like her."
Xie Xianyu glanced at him coldly, a hint of grimness in his eyes.
Su Yan laughed and said, "Lucky, really lucky. All the ladies in Yanjing City will be envious to death. Even I will be envious."
Xie Xianyu snorted coldly, picked up the teacup beside him and took a leisurely sip.
"But she actually agreed to come out. Is your relationship so close now?" Su Yan couldn't help but wonder.
Su Yan had never met Wan Ruo, but he knew a little about her heroic deeds of faking her death and escaping, kicking out Xie Xianyu and marrying someone else.
"Is it not possible?"
"I think you've probably resorted to some tricks again," Su Yan said, shaking his head. "Xie Xianyu, oh Xie Xianyu, you have such a respectable status, and now you've done so many shameless things for a woman?"
Xie Xianyu said calmly, "It doesn't matter what the method is, as long as the result is right."
"Are you sure this is possible? Baba'er went to Qingzhou to get married, and you snatched her back. I'm lucky she hates you to death."
"Why not? Isn't she right under my nose now?"
Su Yanxiao gloated: "You can at least let her stay under your nose forever, maybe she will run away again in a couple of days."
Xie Xianyu's eyes were filled with a hint of hostility as he sneered, "You're so capable, why didn't I see you leave Chen Qinghan behind?"
Su Yan's smile froze on his face.

The city of Yanjing was particularly lively on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Normally, people on this kind of festival would avoid seeing doctors or illnesses, and even when shopping, they would avoid places like drug stores and clinics.
But Jin Shang Tang is a unique place. The second floor of Jin Shang Tang specializes in various tonics and medicinal foods, as well as beautifying pearl powder ointments, which are sought after by many ladies and rich girls.
So Wanruo was very busy in the store today, receiving wave after wave of customers. Her husband Xie Xianyu said that he would be free at twilight hour, so she didn't have to delay for too long.
While she was busy, she suddenly saw Su Yue rushing in: "Miss, a distinguished guest has arrived. The women from Prince Xuan's residence have arrived."
Wanruo was stunned for a moment, then looked out the window and suddenly saw three luxurious carriages with canopies parked downstairs, with the word "Xuan" written on the bodies of the carriages.
Wanruo frowned. She had just heard that Jiang Xuejun was now married and became the concubine of King Xuan.
They showed up so quickly. This Yanjing city is really not a peaceful place. Everyone wants her dead.
Wan Ruo cursed Xie Xianyu again in her heart, then took a deep breath and went downstairs: "I'll go meet him."
After all, Prince Xuan’s Mansion is a royal family, and Prince Xuan is now a popular prince in the court. How can we neglect it?
Wanruo went downstairs and walked quickly to the door. Prince Xuan's mansion was very grand, and he had asked the servants to put up curtains to isolate the common people coming and going.
From the leading carriage, a well-mannered woman slowly stepped down. She was wearing a palace satin and snow-white silk skirt. Two hairpins were inserted diagonally in her bun, swaying gently on her cheeks. She had a beautiful face and a dignified temperament.
Wanruo immediately realized that this was Princess Xuan.
She stepped forward quickly and bowed: "Greetings to the princess."
"No need for formalities. I heard there's a new herbal medicine shop in the capital that sells all sorts of rare things, so I came to take a look. Are you the owner?"
"Yes." Wanruo nodded.
"It's quite unusual. It's rare to see a woman doing such a big business."
Jiang Xuejun got out of the carriage at the back and said with a sarcastic smile, "Ordinary women wouldn't do this. But who among the ladies from a prominent family would be so careless and show up in public? Only those shameless women who are not worthy of being on the stage are shameless."
Princess Xuan rebuked her lightly: "Not everyone can be born into a noble family. Everyone has their own shortcomings. Why do you have to be so mean to others?"
Jiang Xuejun's expression faltered slightly: "Sister is right."
But the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Wanruo became even more sinister.
Wanruo smiled and said, "Please come in."
Wanruo went in to meet Princess Xuan. Jiang Xuejun stared at Xu Wanruo's living back with an ugly expression, hating her so much that he almost wanted to vomit blood.
