Chapter 290 Shen Wantang is injured

Shen Wantang's face turned cold: "Princess, watch your words! I have absolutely no interest in your man! If you have any anger, don't take it out on me. If you're so capable, take it out on the person who has wronged you! Throwing mud at me is the lowest of tactics!"

Huo Yunzhou quickly explained, "Qingxi, it's not what you think. I insisted on asking the Crown Princess for help. I thought that since you two are sisters-in-law, if she was willing to help me persuade you, you would definitely be willing to come home with me."

Xiao Qingxi took three steps at a time and walked up to Huo Yunzhou, then raised her hand and slapped him across the face!

Huo Yunzhou had been beaten by her many times before, but this was the first time she had slapped him in front of outsiders.

He exclaimed incredulously, "Qingxi!"

Xiao Qingxi exploded like a lit fuse, cursing, "Huo Yunzhou, have you lost your mind? Where did you get the idea that I would go home with you just because Shen Wantang persuades me?! A lowly concubine's daughter like her doesn't even deserve to speak in front of me!"

"I insulted her, why are you so eager to defend her and explain? Huo Yunzhou, have you taken a liking to her? Have you been having an affair with her behind my back?!"

"You disgust me! You are the most despicable and shameless people in the world! Get out, get out! I never want to see you again!"

As she spoke, she picked up a vase and smashed it at Huo Yunzhou.

Huo Yunzhou quickly dodged, and the vase shattered with a loud "bang" on the ground.

Even Huo Yunzhou, with his good temper, lost his temper and roared, "Xiao Qingxi, what's wrong with you again?! As soon as I say a word to another woman, you question whether I've changed my mind! Am I destined to only ever talk to men?!"

Xiao Qingxi picked up another vase and threw it at him. When she missed, she grabbed another one.

Granny Kang was almost in tears, but she couldn't persuade Xiao Qingxi. She tried to stop her, but Xiao Qingxi pushed her away violently.

When Xiao Qingyuan arrived, he saw his sister acting like a madwoman, disregarding her pregnancy and frantically smashing Huo Yunzhou with a vase.

He immediately stopped her: "Qingxi, stop right now!"

He was fine if he hadn't made a sound, but as soon as he did, Xiao Qingxi picked up a vase and smashed it at him.

After smashing him, she picked up a vase and smashed it against Chen Wantang.

Seeing that she had retreated far enough, but was still being watched by Xiao Qingxi, Shen Wantang immediately avoided the vase.

The vase brushed against her body and smashed against the wall.

The bottle shattered into pieces, and one of the broken pieces grazed Shen Wantang's face, cutting her skin and leaving a line of blood.

Granny Chai was startled: "Your Highness, your face!"

Shen Wantang felt the pain and realized that her face had been scratched.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qingxi, after smashing all the vases, started throwing chairs at them.

Princess Ning, her hair disheveled, rushed over: "Xi'er!"

Hearing her voice, Xiao Qingxi finally stopped. She threw down the chair and sobbed into Princess Ning's arms: "Mother, I hate them! Huo Yunzhou and Shen Wantang are having an affair! They're meeting behind my back! Get them all out of here!"

Princess Ning hugged her, half with heartache and half with anger: "Is this why you secretly ran out of my bedroom in the middle of the night? If you don't believe Huo Yunzhou, you should believe your sister-in-law. How could she possibly have a secret rendezvous with your husband?"

“She definitely is! She was standing very close to Huo Yunzhou just now. They were chatting and laughing, talking about everything under the sun, like they were close friends!”

Granny Chai immediately replied, "Your Highness, this old servant and all the maids are here. Just now, when the Princess Consort and the young master were talking, they were two steps apart, and their words were perfectly appropriate."

Princess Ning sighed. How could she not know Shen Wantang's temperament? No matter which man came to the Ning Prince's residence, she was always very polite and never overstepped the bounds. She was even so polite that she was a bit rigid, so polite that she would not even overstep the bounds with her own husband.

Moreover, the "crimes" that my daughter just listed were clearly not about Shen Wantang. The person Huo Yunzhou chatted with and considered a close friend was Lin Rouxin.

She was transferring her hatred for Lin Rouxin onto Shen Wantang.

Princess Ning cast an apologetic glance at Shen Wantang before noticing a shocking bloodstain on Shen Wantang's fair face.

Without a doubt, this was the daughter's doing.

Princess Ning felt even more guilty.

But she didn't have time to comfort Shen Wantang right now, because her daughter was crying her heart out in her arms.

She held Xiao Qingxi and comforted her for a while until she stopped crying. Then she scolded her son: "Qingyuan, why didn't you entertain Yunzhou when he came? Why did you let Tang'er entertain Yunzhou alone in the middle of the night?! You bear the title of the heir of the Ning Prince's Mansion, yet you are unwilling to fulfill even the slightest responsibility? What use is the Ning Prince's Mansion to you!"

Xiao Qingyuan was reluctant to come because he had just entered a sweet dream when he was woken up again.

When the results came, we realized the seriousness of the problem: her sister had gone mad, Shen Wantang was falsely accused of having an affair with Huo Yunzhou, and her face was slashed...

He knew in his heart that he shouldn't have indulged in pleasure and shouldn't have left Huo Yunzhou with Shen Wantang. He could only bite the bullet and say, "We're all family. There's no difference between me entertaining Yunzhou and Shen Wantang entertaining Yunzhou. It's just that Qingxi went crazy for no reason. Everything was fine before..."

Hearing him shift all the blame to Xiao Qingxi, Princess Ning could not hide her disappointment.

She shook her head, looked at Shen Wantang, and said with a hint of seriousness, "Tang'er, you have been wronged tonight. Qingxi is in a bad mood. I will take her back first, and I will definitely seek justice for you tomorrow!"

Shen Wantang's face appeared somewhat pale in the candlelight, and she lowered her eyes: "Thank you, Mother."

Princess Ning felt even more sorry for her when she saw that she was neither crying nor making a fuss, nor taking the opportunity to express her grievances.

She sighed deeply and coaxed her daughter away.

As soon as they left, Shen Wantang started walking out.

Behind him came Huo Yunzhou's apologetic voice: "Princess Consort, I'm sorry for tonight."

Shen Wantang did not turn around or respond, and continued walking forward.

Watching her retreating figure, Huo Yunzhou couldn't help but say to Xiao Qingyuan, "Qingyuan, you should have come sooner. If you had come even a little earlier, Qingxi wouldn't have misunderstood you. It's all my fault for dragging her into this. It's one thing for me to be misunderstood by Qingxi, but for the Crown Princess to be suddenly slandered is just too... too outrageous!"

Xiao Qingyuan was also unhappy and retorted, "It's all your fault! If you had just stayed quietly in your Huo family, none of this would have happened! Do you know that my sister can't get angry right now, she..."

At this point, he stopped abruptly.

Huo Yunzhou asked with suspicion, "What happened to Qingxi?"

"Nothing much."

Xiao Qingyuan turned and left.

Huo Yunzhou followed closely behind him: "Xiao Qingyuan, are you trying to kill someone by leaving things unsaid? Don't you bear any responsibility for what happened tonight? What exactly happened to Qingxi? Tell me!"
