Chapter 356: Stay and Confront

"Okay, this matter has been resolved. Zhijin, you should have a good rest. When the banquet is over, I will send someone to escort you back to the palace and will never let you get hurt again." As the queen spoke, she looked at Princess Jiahe with a sharp look and continued, "Nangongjin, the two of you come here. I have something to tell you."

Seeing the queen say this, Xu Miaomiao bowed slightly and was about to turn around and leave. The queen must have kept Nangong Jin and Princess Jiahe to tell them about the dispute they had just had, but when she saw Xu, just as she was about to leave, the queen actually waved her hand, looked at her and said, "Madam Xu, please stay as well."

Xu Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling. She went to Princess Jiahe and Nangong Jin to ask them why they kept her around.

Before she could think, there were only four of them left in the huge palace. The Queen sat in the main seat, slowly picking up the tea in front of her, looking at Xu Miaomiao and slowly saying, "Tell me everything that happened when you came to Nangong."

She did not ask Nangong Jin, nor did she ask Princess Jiahe. Instead, she asked an outsider like her. Xu Miaomiao could not guess what the Queen was thinking for a moment.

After Xu Miaomiao slowly bowed to the woman sitting in the main seat, she told her everything that had happened that day.

After the Queen heard what she said, she slowly put down the teacup in her hand, raised her eyes slowly and glanced at Xu Miaomiao, and slowly said: "If that's the case, then why did Jiahe go back to the palace to complain? She said that you and Nangong had an affair, what's going on?"

As the queen spoke, she looked at Xu Miaomiao with a sharp look, and then immediately said, "If I remember correctly, Madam Xu's husband Song Wushao is now the Minister of Rites. Since you are both married, why are you making such gossips? Now there are rumors in the capital that Madam Xu and her husband Nangong are having an affair. What's going on? Isn't this a disgrace to our royal family?"

The Queen Mother said the last word with some anger, and angrily slammed her desk.

Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately knelt on the ground and saluted to the Queen, then slowly said, "Please understand, Your Majesty, Miaomiao and Nangong Xianggong have always treated each other with courtesy and have never overstepped the boundaries. Perhaps it's because my child is studying at the affiliated school, so he has come to Nangong Mansion more often, but the world can testify that Miaomiao has no other intentions towards Nangong Xianggong.

Seeing Xu Miaomiao's serious look, the Queen's frown relaxed a little. Seeing this, the Jiahe monarch on the side twisted his mouth in dissatisfaction and said to Xu Miaomiao: "You are talking nonsense. I clearly saw you two hugging each other that day. How dare you talk nonsense."

"Madam Xu, is this true?" The sharp eyes of the Queen frightened Xu Miaomiao so much that she trembled all over. She immediately bowed to everyone and said, "Madam, after saving Princess Jiahe that day, I was ready to leave. Nangong Xianggong had something to tell me, so he stopped me. But he just told me not to tell others what happened that day. I must have never had sex with Nangong Xianggong. Maybe we were too far apart, and Princess Jiahe might have seen it wrong."

Xu Miaomiao tried her best to distance herself from the other person, because she knew that if she admitted that there was something going on between them, she would not be able to leave during the day.

Nangong Jin on the side also frowned tightly, bowed to the Queen, and said, "My Queen, since you don't believe me, why not let Princess Jiahe divorce me? Princess Jiahe is a noble woman, and a rough man like me is naturally not worthy of her. Besides, don't feel wronged by being with me. Princess Jiahe is really sad and distressed by the things she worries about every day!"

"Nangong Jin, what do you mean?"

The leader of the Jiahe group naturally understood the meaning of Nangong Jin's words. He looked at her with dissatisfaction, pushed her, and said with a sharp look: "Do you think I am serious and willing to marry you? If it weren't for the Guan Qian family's arrangement, but our family needs the help of your Nangong Mansion, how could I marry you?"

"Enough!" The Queen frowned in dissatisfaction when she heard the words, and shouted at Princess Jiahe to shut up.

Xu Miaomiao lowered her head as low as she could, wanting to distance herself from the matter.

The Queen Mother saw this scene, waved her hands helplessly, and said to Princess Jiahe: "The marriage between you two was arranged by the government, just to make the two families reconcile. Of course, the Nangong family is also an important official in the court. Since the princess has married you, you should treat her well, and it will not be regarded as a disgrace to the royal family's regard for you. Do you understand?"

When Nangong Jin heard this, even though he was unwilling, he could only bow to the Queen and said nervously, "I know."

"Okay, Madam Xu, this matter started because of you. Although there is nothing innocent between you and Mr. Nangong, there are still rumors outside. From today on, you are not allowed to visit Nangong Mansion again, understand?"

Xu Miaomiao sighed helplessly in her heart. She didn't want to come today either. It was simply because Song Zhijin had handed her the invitation that she didn't want to get involved in this mess. If she had known this would happen, she should have advised Dabao and Li Yi not to study martial arts in Nangong Mansion. Isn't there a place for them to learn martial arts in this huge capital? Why were they mixed up in this?"

When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she immediately said to the Queen in her heart: "My Queen, I will remember your instructions today and will definitely not let you down."

"Just remember what I said to you last time. You should also remember it. After all, you are also a woman. If you show your face outside, you will sooner or later humiliate your husband. Don't let your husband, who originally had the ability to be a great husband, be dragged down by you and become nothing in the end. Do you hear me?"

Xu Miaomiao bowed to the woman and said, "Your Majesty is right. Miaomiao will naturally keep it in mind. However, even the emperor is very optimistic about the development of the department store. Now the department store and the military camp are also cooperating. Since it is a cooperation between the court, we can't just close it without authorization. Please forgive me for this matter, Your Majesty. Miaomiao is really powerless. Please make up for it yourself."
