Chapter 135 Leave Her Behind

Governor Xiao was not an old hand in the love field and could not see so many twists and turns between women.

But his desire to survive was strong enough and his sixth sense was sharp. He knew that Xu Qinglan would have endless troubles if she stayed, so he naturally wanted to solve the problem from the source.

Xu Qinglan had no choice but to refuse the challenge and looked at Xiao Yuan with tears in her eyes and an accusing look on her face.

"Brother Yuan, how can such a huge Governor's Mansion not accommodate a helpless orphan like Qinglan?

If that's the case, why did Brother Yuan ask the Emperor for mercy to let Qinglan leave the palace?

You promised my uncle to take care of me and then you took me out of the imperial city, but now you are leaving me to fend for myself."

Jiang Xinyu nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, that's really too much, Brother Yuan has a really cruel heart.

Don’t be afraid, cousin. Your wife will definitely seek justice for you.

Tell me, what do you want Brother Yuan to do?

How about apologizing for your crime?

The family didn't prepare any wicker, so there seemed to be some unburned jujube branches in the firewood room.

It has thorns after all, so the effect is probably similar."

Xu Qinglan was crying so hard that she didn't know what to say after being disturbed by Jiang Xinyu.

What does she want Xiao Yuan to do?

Of course she wants Xiao Yuan to marry her, and it would be best if he divorces Jiang Xinyu to make room for her.

But can she tell the truth when asked so bluntly?

Jiang Xinyu's expression was extremely serious, as if she were a righteous and upright official.

Xiao Yuan secretly groaned in his heart.

He didn't really want to get Qinglan out of the palace. Wasn't it that the emperor pushed him to the point?

It was all Xiao Ling's fault. He would find opportunities to take revenge on his third brother for every beating he received today.

Jiang Xinyu acted like the boss and Xiao Yuan did whatever she said, which made Xu Qinglan very angry.

But now Xiao Yuan was not happy with her living in his house. In order to keep her, she had to be submissive to Jiang Xinyu and said weakly that she was an orphan and was afraid of being bullied outside.

She didn't ask for anything else, just a place to live.

Jiang Xinyu nodded generously, "It's nothing, cousin, just stay here with peace of mind.

Don't listen to your brother Yuan. He was frightened by all those flirtatious men and he overreacted.

My cousin, you don't know, there is a kind of woman who likes to stare at married men, either pretending to be weak or pretending to be pitiful.

If anyone showed her a little bit of kindness, she would immediately think that the other person was interested in her, and would try to chase him away no matter how hard they tried.

Your brother Yuan is a soft-hearted person who is used to causing trouble. He may have gone too far because he has suffered a loss before."

At this point Jiang Xinyu glared at Xiao Yuan coquettishly.

"If you were not smart when you should have been, what's the point of reacting now?

My cousin is a relative of ours, not one of those shameless women.

Even if you are afraid of being misunderstood by others, you cannot drive your cousin away. People who don't know would think that I, as her sister-in-law, am intolerant.

Why don’t you quickly arrange for your cousin to stay here?”

Xiao Yuan had never felt anything when he heard Xu Qinglan calling him Brother Yuan, but after being called a few times in such a coquettish voice by his wife, his hair stood on end.

Not feeling good!

He didn't know why the lady wanted to keep Xu Qinglan, but since the lady said so, he had to do it.

Governor Xiao still had a strong desire to survive, so he specially arranged Xu Qinglan in the northwest corner of the yard.

The outside of there is the street, which is quite far away from here, one in the south and the other in the north.

According to the normal pace, Xu Qinglan would need at least two incense sticks of time to cause trouble for the lady.

Xu Qinglan was so angry at Jiang Xinyu for making insinuations and calling her shameless that veins on her forehead bulged.

But in order to stay, he remained silent and just shed tears.

Jiang Xinyu felt amused when she saw her weak and fragile appearance.

If Ye Xiao was here, he would be so heartbroken that he would rush up and kill for her even with one broken leg.

It's a pity that she performed at the wrong time, and no one present was interested in her.

Not only did he not buy it, Xiao Yuan even wanted to cover his ears when he saw Xu Qinglan crying.

I used to think this little girl was quite sensible, but how come she becomes more and more lifelike as she grows up?

Just cry and cry, no one will hit you or scold you, so why cry so much?

Grandpa still wants to cry. When you stay at home with the door closed, misfortunes will come from the sky. Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life?

Since he was educated by his wife, he had only kept this one matter secret from her. He did not expect that it would be exposed so quickly.

People really shouldn't be complacent.

Xiaodouzi was a very smart guy. Knowing that the supervisor would be reprimanded soon, he volunteered to arrange a yard for Xu Qinglan.

Chun Xing and Jiu Yue looked at each other, then held Xiao Die on the left and right, and dragged away the silly girl who didn't understand the situation, saying that they were going to apply medicine to her.

In the blink of an eye, the yard was empty, leaving only Jiang Xinyu who seemed to be smiling and Governor Xiao who pretended to be calm.

"Be honest and lenient. Tell me what's going on here, with a cousin on the left and a adopted son on the right."

Xiao Yuan quickly picked up the palm-leaf fan and fanned his wife, then organized his words and told her everything that Xiao Ling had done to him.

After saying this, he pulled his wife's sleeve with a wronged look on his face.

"I really don't know what Xiao Ling is thinking.

A few years ago, Qinglan proposed to me to be her partner, but I didn't agree and the matter ended there.

This time Xiao Ling caught me off guard. I was afraid that the emperor would be so bored that he would really bring Qinglan into the palace to ask for grace to let her leave the palace and get married.

Ma'am, I swear.

I have absolutely no feelings towards Xu Qinglan, at most I just take care of her a little more for the sake of our foster father and foster mother."

Jiang Xinyu lifted Xiao Yuan's chin and snorted coldly.

"I still don't understand why Xiao Ling suddenly acted as a matchmaker for you in front of the emperor.

If you were not blind, you should be able to see what Xu Qinglan is thinking.

You get married, the Concubine Dowager dies, Xu Qinglan returns to the capital, and Xiao Ling acts as a matchmaker.

Think about the attitude of the people in the mansion towards Ye Xiao and me, and tell me, what do you think of it?"

Xiao Yuan's expression suddenly froze, "Ye Xiao used his connections in the mansion to pass on the news of my marriage to Xu Qinglan.

Xu Qinglan knew that we had a good relationship, so she was anxious...

She wants to be my match, and asked Xiao Ling to help her find an opportunity to force me to marry her."

Jiang Xinyu smiled slyly, "You have served as the supervisor of the East Factory for a good reason. So...what did you want to say when you paused just now?"

Xiao Yuan knew that he couldn't hide it from his wife, so he pleaded with his eyes and whispered,

"My stepmother was very kind to all of us brothers, and my stepfather saved my life.

Qinglan is my stepmother’s only blood, this matter, this matter may not be possible…”

"It's useless for you to tell me whether it is or not. Do you think I will report her?"

Jiang Xinyu's fingers were tied around the tassels on her belt, and her expression was indifferent.

"What a coincidence! What you and I can think of may not be unexpected by others.

It would be fine if Xu Qinglan keeps quiet, but if she causes trouble and draws other people's attention, it will be used as a handle to attack you.

They are just looking for opportunities to splash dirty water, not many people are ignoring the facts. "

Xiao Yuan nodded solemnly, "I was wrong, Madam was right to keep her in the mansion.

I went back and asked someone to seal the door at the corner and raise the wall..."

Jiang Xinyu covered her face in disgust, "You want to put her under house arrest?

Stop it, you are trying to cover up your mistake.

You have become the mastermind of something that originally had nothing to do with you.

Forget it, you should first think about how to deal with your son.

Don't tell me you didn't see that Ye Xiao likes Xu Qinglan!"

"How come?"

"Of course not, you are 5 years older than Xu Qinglan, and Xu Qinglan is 5 years older than Ye Xiao.

If Xu Qinglan likes you, why can't Ye Xiao like her?"

Jiang Xinyu pinched Xiao Yuan's cheeks amusingly.

"Be good, go sleep with Ye Xiao tonight.

The father and son had a heart-to-heart talk and talked about the strange relationship between you.

I'll be frank with you first. If he can't figure out his place, then get away from him.

If you dare to show off in front of me, I will give you a discount on your other leg."
