Chapter 143 The Man Riding a Bamboo Horse
On the first day of the New Year, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji left the palace and returned to the Prince's Mansion.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Xie Yao did not go back to her parents' home, but Xie Yujiao and Xie Yuru did. It was said that they seemed to have a very unhappy time.
Xie Yujiao seemed to have a miscarriage, so Zhang called a doctor, but because the examination was conducted behind closed doors, Xie Yao's people were unable to find out anything.
But Xie Yujiao did not return to the Song family that day.
Even though Xie Yao heard it, she didn't take it too seriously. She was going to give birth in a month or so, and the day was approaching.
The atmosphere in the Prince's Mansion became more tense day by day.
The third day of the Lunar New Year.
The Zhao family came to the Prince’s Mansion.
One is to look at Xie Yao, and the other is that there is no serious elder in the prince's mansion, and the prince is a man, so it is inevitable that he will be inconsiderate in some aspects.
Old Madam Zhao wanted to come in person to watch her granddaughter Xie Yao give birth.
As for what the Xie family would think...the Zhao family simply ignored it.
Just as Zhao Ying and others arrived, Pei Chen also arrived on time.
Apparently he had listened to the advice of an expert and dressed up specially, wearing a black brocade robe with gold edges. This made him look less fierce and fierce after years of fighting on the battlefield, and he looked more noble like a young man from a wealthy family.
With his hair tied up high, sword-like brows and bright eyes, he is indeed a young man full of vigor and vitality!
Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment.
But she quickly looked away.
Pei Chen greeted the Zhao family politely, and amidst the Zhao family's surprised and helpless expressions, he took Zhao Hao and Xiao Ji to the study.
The women of the Zhao family chatted with Xie Yao.
Madam Zhao frowned, "Yaoyao, everyone in the family knows about Xie Yuru's matter."
Xie Cheng...what a good father!
Knowing that his eldest daughter was the Crown Princess, he still sent Xie Yuru to Xiao Hong. Whether it was to let the two of them compete, or to be a fence-sitter...
All of this made the Zhao family very angry.
Xie Yao held the old lady's hand and said, "Grandma, please don't be angry. Don't let yourself get hurt by someone like that."
Seeing that Xie Yao was truly open-minded, Mrs. Zhao felt relieved a little.
She patted the back of her granddaughter's hand lovingly, her eyes full of heartache.
She was really blind at the beginning, and actually thought that Xie Cheng, the hypocritical and sanctimonious man, was a good person, so she promised her only daughter to him.
Xie Yao and Zhao Ying coaxed Old Madam Zhao for a long time.
Only then did he order someone to send the old lady to rest.
Zhao Ying and Xie Yao were the only ones left in the room.
Zhao Ying sighed and said, "When grandma found out about this a while ago, she couldn't sleep well and was very worried about you."
"Seeing you being so open-minded, she will feel better."
Xie Yao said: "I should have gone to accompany my grandmother earlier."
It was no use making the old man worry about her.
Zhao Ying shook her head. "How can I blame you? You're already busy at the end of the year, and you're pregnant... Yaoyao, only when you're well, grandma will be at ease."
After a pause, Zhao Ying said, "Some time ago, ... I went to visit my grandmother at home, and she..."
Zhao Ying didn't mention anyone by name, but Xie Yao still understood.
The wind is rising.
Although the Cheng family is the residence of the Marquis of Changning, the wife of the Marquis of Changning and Cheng Fengqi were not taken seriously in the early years. The mother and son did not live in the Marquis's residence, but instead lived next door to the Zhao family, a merchant family.
It was at that time that they became acquainted with Cheng Fengqi.
At that time, Cheng Fengqi was all alone and kept people at a distance.
But Xie Yao was a bright little sun. She always pulled Cheng Fengqi to play together. Over time, Cheng Fengqi also integrated into their group.
They considered themselves childhood sweethearts.
I still remember that time.
Cheng Fengqi's mother, the wife of the Marquis of Changning, once mentioned to her grandmother...her affair with Cheng Fengqi.
Later, she returned to the Xie family, and in the first few years she would occasionally receive things secretly sent by Cheng Fengqi.
Within two years, Lady Changning Marquis and Cheng Fengqi never appeared again.
But she had no ill will towards Cheng Fengqi.
In his previous life, he...
"Yaoyao." Zhao Ying's somewhat worried voice interrupted Xie Yao's thoughts, "You..."
Zhao Ying remembered that when she was young, Yaoyao liked to follow Cheng Fengqi.
Xie Yao gave Zhao Ying a reassuring smile, "These are all things from our childhood."
But, think about the current situation.
Xie Yao said: "Sister Ying, please tell him a few words for me."
Outside the door.
Xiao Ji, who came to the main room to get the book he had been reading recently, paused and lowered his eyelids...
