Chapter 53: Eat the food and be grateful, take the food and be soft

Mo Zhaozhao's voice brought Madam Yun back to her senses. She quickly suppressed all the emotions in her heart, sorted out her mood and forced a smile.

"Princess, you can't do that. The cloth that Nanzhou Prefecture pays tribute to us is for the royal family only. If you give it to Xiao Si, it will cause gossip."

"No problem."

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhaozhao immediately became unhappy.

"I can give my things to whoever I want. If anyone dares to gossip about me, I will...will make them pay!"

She originally wanted to say "just pull out their tongues", but when she was about to say that, she met Madam Yun's gentle eyes, and suddenly felt guilty, so she quickly changed her words.

Jiang Zitang smiled slightly and said softly, "Princess, this is a good intention. Aunt Ye, please accept it. I also brought a gift for the little sister. It is also in A Yao's room~"

At this point, Mrs. Yun couldn't continue to refuse, so she accepted it after thanking him.

"Eh~"

[Thank you, Princess, thank you, Sister Zitang~]

After receiving the gifts, Yun Wanning smiled happily and couldn't help but thank the two of them in her heart, but soon she started to worry again.

[Oh, I am grateful for what I have received, and I am soft-hearted. Isn't it a bit wrong for me to accept the gift and not do anything for it? ]

[Alas~]

[Then wait a little longer. I will repay you when I have enough mental strength to enter a dream.]

[When the time comes, I will tell the princess the true identity of Lu Huaijin. I hope she can wake up soon, so as to avoid being drowned.]

[I also want to tell Sister Zitang that Xie Xuanyong really loves her and doesn’t like anyone else. ]

[The reason why the Qiqiao Festival was broken was because her maid interfered and deliberately sent the wrong message to both parties, causing them to wait for a whole night, but both thought that the other party had broken the appointment. ]

[Her maid had long been taken into the room of He Wenyuan, the cousin of the Jiang family. He Wenyuan coveted Sister Zitang's beauty, and the He family behind him coveted the power of the Jiang family. In short, none of them wanted the Jiang and Xie families to marry, so they madly used the maid to sabotage it.]

[Because the maid is the person that Sister Zitang trusts the most, in the plot, Sister Zitang and Xie Xuanyong are successfully separated. ]

[These two people are like a gourd with its mouth sawed off. There are obviously a lot of misunderstandings, but no one asks, confronts, or explains. All of the other person's actions are based on imagination.]

[Xie Xuanyong thought that sister Zitang had been in an affair with He Wenyuan for a long time, while sister Zitang thought that Xie Xuanyong had fallen in love with her sister and didn't want to fall out with her sister because of a man, so she quickly married He Wenyuan.]

[Xie Xuanyong really died unjustly. He actually helped Sister Zitang after the Ningguo Mansion fell into decline because he saw that Sister Zitang had a deep friendship with her and that he was a very important person to Sister Zitang. However, he did not expect that this would cause Sister Zitang to misunderstand him.]

[Alas, she lost the title of the most talented woman, flirted with the heroine several times, and married a playboy + heartless scumbag like He Wenyuan. Sister Zitang's end is miserable. ]

[She was tortured to death by He Wenyuan's concubine, oh, her current maid, after a long time of torture.]

[When she died, Sister Zitang was six months pregnant. Because of jealousy, the maid cut open Sister Zitang's belly and took the baby out. In the end, both mother and child died.]

[After Sister Zitang died, Xie Xuanyong went on a killing spree and wiped out the entire He family. After that, his whereabouts were unknown. No one knew where he went~]

【……】

After hearing this, Yun Wanyao's whole body trembled, and a trace of disbelief and guilt flashed across her eyes.

She never expected that the relationship between Atang and Mr. Xie would end in vain, and it turned out to be related to her.

If this is the case, then she is committing a serious sin.

No, this time, no matter what, Atang and Master Xie cannot be separated. In this world, Master Xie is probably the only one who is willing to destroy his entire clan for Atang. Atang must not miss him.

Yun Wanyao clenched her fists and her eyes became determined.

Looking at her expression, Madam Yun knew that she had already made a plan for this matter, so she was not going to interfere.

If too many people do the same thing, problems are bound to arise.

Sleepiness swept over her, overwhelming and unstoppable. Yun Wanning instantly lost interest in continuing to chatter. She rubbed her eyes gently with her little fists, and yawned continuously with her mouth open.

Seeing that she was very sleepy, Madam Yun said something to Mo Zhaozhao and Jiang Zitang, then carried her away.

"Atang, why haven't you mentioned Master Xie recently?"

After watching her mother leave, Yun Wanyao's eyes fell on Jiang Zitang again, her eyes thoughtful.

After hearing this, Mo Zhaozhao also said with interest, "Yes, I haven't heard my cousin mention Mr. Xie recently."

Jiang Zitang didn't expect them to mention this. She was slightly stunned, and then a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.

"I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Why is that?"

Yun Wanyao frowned. Even though she knew the answer, she still couldn't help but ask.

After waiting for a long time without any reply, Jiang Zitang remained silent, looking like he didn't know where to start, which made the hot-tempered Mo Zhaozhao very anxious.

"Did Xie Xuanyong bully me? You can tell me the truth. If Xie Xuanyong dares to bully you, I will not let him go."

"Princess~"

Yun Wanyao sighed, looked at her disapprovingly, and said, "Master Xie is not that kind of person. We are inseparable from Atang. Others may not understand, but don't we understand?"

"Master Xie treats Atang like a treasure. There must be some misunderstanding..."

Before she finished speaking, Yun Wanyao couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Yes, it was clear that Atang had never mentioned Master Xie in these days, but how could she not notice anything unusual?

If her younger sister hadn't mentioned it today, she would probably have continued to neglect it, and then, with no one to persuade her, Atang would have gotten stuck in a dead end and would have followed the path of the plot.

She was so slow and careless~ "Haha, I'm just worried that my cousin will be wronged~"

Mo Zhaozhao smiled awkwardly, feeling somewhat guilty. Mr. Xie was indeed very kind to her cousin, and what she had just said seemed to be an attempt to sow discord and instigate.

"Ayao is right. Master Xie is not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding. Cousin, please tell us about it. Ayao and I can help you sort it out."

Looking at the eager eyes of the two, Jiang Zitang pursed his lips, organized his words in his mind, and spoke slowly.

"Before the Qiqiao Festival, we agreed to meet in front of the Marriage Temple. I waited for him all night, but he didn't come. Princess, Ayao, he broke the promise."

"In the following days, I kept waiting for him to come and explain this to me, but he never showed up..."

Jiang Zitang's voice choked and he covered his face in pain.

"Asshole, he actually dared to break his promise to my cousin and didn't even apologize to her. No, I'm going to bring people to question him about the reason."

Seeing his cousin in such pain, Mo Zhaozhao could no longer bear it. He stood up with his chin raised and prepared to find Xie Xuanyong to settle the score.

"Princess, calm down!"

Yun Wanyao quickly reached out and grabbed her arm, pressing her hard onto the jade stool. Mo Zhaozhao immediately protested.

"Ayao, what are you doing? Did you hear what your cousin said? There is no misunderstanding. Xie Xuanyong was at fault first. He broke the appointment and didn't apologize. He is simply an asshole."

"Oh, Princess, I still think there is a misunderstanding here. Can you wait a moment? Master Xie can't get away. If the evidence is conclusive, you can go and settle the score with him, okay?"

Seeing her so impulsive, Yun Wanyao was completely overwhelmed.

"Hmph, just wait a minute." Mo Zhaozhao muttered softly.

"Ah Tang, let me ask you, are you sure the place you agreed on is in front of the Marriage Temple? Is this the place you confirmed with him in person?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Yun Wanyao's expression was extremely serious, which stunned Mo Zhaozhao and Jiang Zitang. After a moment, Jiang Zitang slowly shook his head.

"Ayao, please don't make fun of me. I am the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. Apart from the Qiqiao Festival and major public banquets, how could I have a secret meeting with a man from outside the family? If this gets out, won't it ruin the reputation of the Jiang family?"

All of this was within Yun Wanyao's expectations. The ladies from aristocratic families were brought up with strict family education, and even after they had made an engagement, most of them were not allowed to meet privately.

Her parents were more open-minded and less strict, which was why she had the opportunity to meet the King of Qi.

But her reputation was not very good. Many ladies and young ladies were secretly making up stories about her, but her parents didn't care much.

But the head of the Jiang family is the emperor's uncle, the late queen's brother, and the current emperor's uncle. He attaches great importance to propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. Atang is far from being as free as her.

"Then how did you arrange a meeting place with him?"

Yun Wanyao narrowed her eyes slightly and patiently persuaded him.

"Of course my personal maid passed on the message."

"Then Atang, have you ever thought that your maid passed the message to the wrong place, which led to you and Master Xie not being able to meet?"

Obviously, Jiang Zitang did not understand her hidden meaning, and quickly retorted, "No, Ling'er is smart and has been with me for so long, and she rarely makes mistakes. How could she pass on a message to the wrong place?"

Alas! Yun Wanyao sighed. Atang was always smart, but she didn't hear the other meaning in her words. This could only mean that Atang trusted the maid very much and didn't want to doubt her at all.

In this way, she couldn't make the matter too obvious.

"No one is perfect. Even if your maid is smart, she may have said something wrong, and she hasn't realized it yet."

"Ah Tang, this is a big deal. I think you'd better ask Mr. Xie in person. No matter what, you should make plans after you ask him."

"If you turn away from Master Xie just because of this matter, it's not worth it."

"Yes, yes, yes. I think what A Yao said makes sense. Cousin, it's better to ask in person. If you don't dare to meet Mr. Xie because of the Jiang family's reputation and your uncle, I will ask for you and make sure I can get everything clear for you."

Completely convinced by Yun Wanyao's words, Mo Zhaozhao nodded repeatedly, patted his chest to assure her, and admitted from the bottom of his heart that he was impulsive.

"If there was any misunderstanding, why didn't he come to me and explain it?"

Jiang Zitang clenched her handkerchief in anger. Although she felt a little relieved after Yun Wanyao's persuasion, she was still very angry.

This time, without waiting for Yun Wanyao to speak, Mo Zhaozhao started to answer.

"Well, if it's really as A Yao said, and your maid passed on the wrong message, then I think that either Master Xie also waited for you all night, but didn't see you, and mistakenly thought that you broke the appointment, and waited for you to explain like you did, but waited and waited and waited and didn't see you, and now he is sulking."

"Or maybe Master Xie went to look for you, but he was fooled and sent away by the servants of the Jiang family, and he didn't tell you."

"The Jiang family's servants shouldn't be so bold, so I think the first possibility is more likely."

Wow, the princess's logic is so clear? Yun Wanyao raised her eyebrows and looked at her in surprise.

According to my opinion, the princess is the second vicious female supporting role. Although she is a princess and has a noble status, she is a fool. She is the type with big breasts and no brains. She will only act impulsively and do stupid things that make the heroine slap her in the face.

But I didn't expect that there would be times when I was sober.

Oh, I almost forgot, Yun Wanyao is also a fool. Although she is the original heroine of this world, she is just to set off the heroine.

After the heroine traveled through time, she became the most vicious female supporting role, doing all kinds of brainless things to cause death. The meaning of her life was to cause trouble for the heroine, and then be pinned to the ground and rubbed in various ways by the heroine to increase the heroine's charm.

Such a life is really too stupid. She needs to be vigilant at all times and must not follow the old path of the plot and become a victim of the heroine's growth.

Well, you must always keep it in mind.

Yun Wanyao remembered it silently, and did not forget to cheer herself up in her heart. Finally, she looked up at Jiang Zitang who looked hesitant.

"Atang, I think what the princess said makes sense. Perhaps Mr. Xie is indeed feeling the same way as you at this moment."

"Instead of making both of you suffer, why don't you go and ask him in person? The worst that can happen is that you've just been imagining things for the past few days."

She dared to bet that during this period of time, Atang must have had countless thoughts when wondering why Mr. Xie broke his promise.

She might be wondering if Master Xie had fallen in love with someone else after breaking his promise, or if she had done something wrong and made Master Xie unhappy, or if he didn't want to marry her anymore...

"Okay, I'll go find him now and ask him in person."

After being persuaded by the two again and again, Jiang Zitang finally made up his mind.

As if she was brainwashed, she increasingly felt that there was a high possibility that Ling'er had conveyed the wrong message. She thought that Xie Xuanyong might really be like her, waiting in vain for a whole night without meeting the person he had an appointment with, and was now sulking somewhere.

"Oh, cousin, aren't you afraid of ruining the Jiang family's reputation?"

Mo Zhaozhao held his chin and teased her with a playful look in his eyes. Jiang Zitang's face turned red and she was speechless for a long time.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, cousin, go quickly. If you ask me, you just take your reputation too seriously. Your uncle is such an old-fashioned guy. He uses all kinds of etiquette, morality, women's discipline, women's virtues and women's appearance to oppress you every day. Look at what he has done to you.

"I really don't understand. We just met and didn't steal or rob or do anything else. Why do you have to link it to reputation?"

"Besides, what is fame compared to a lifetime of happiness?"

Princess Huayang, who had been pampered since childhood, could not understand the standards for measuring a noble lady at all.
