Chapter 21 The Art of Seduction
As soon as Xie's father got on the carriage, his expression changed to a horrible dark color. "This is the good daughter you raised!"
"She has completely disgraced me!"
Mrs. Xie looked pale, but she still subconsciously explained, "Master, Jiaojiao has always been obedient and sensible. She was just deceived and confused..."
"Shut up!" Father Xie didn't want to listen, "Don't ever talk about her again, my daughter from the Xie family!"
The carriage arrived at Xie's house.
Mrs. Xie was helped out of the carriage, but Father Xie sat as steady as a mountain.
Mrs. Xie's heart tightened slightly, "Master..."
"I still have things to do." Father Xie said coldly, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
The carriage slowly turned around.
"Madam." Madam Liu beside Madam Xie looked at her master with concern, "The young lady was just confused for a moment, please don't be too sad."
"The Liu family." Mrs. Xie answered irrelevantly: "Where do you think he is going?"
Mother Liu's face changed slightly and she dared not say a word.
"He must be looking for that bitch!" Madam Xie said viciously, "Today, he abandoned Jiaojiao for the sake of his face... He has such a cruel heart."
"Madam." Madam Liu thought of something and whispered, "I seemed to see Hongdou and her mother at Cui's house today."
"They were dressed respectably and sat in the VIP seats..."
"Really?" Mrs. Xie's face changed and she immediately cheered up.
Hongdou was Xie Yao's dowry, so why should she be able to sit in the VIP seat of the Cui family?
"Investigate this matter immediately." Madam Xie's voice was cold, "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with that little bitch Xie Yao!"
…
After watching the ceremony, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji left Cui's house.
"Song Wenbo has no hope of taking the imperial examination from now on." Xiao Ji said in a calm voice after getting on the carriage.
Mr. Qingshan is a famous teacher and scholar, respected and admired by scholars all over the world. Song Wenbo caused such a misunderstanding in front of so many people today.
Even if he took part in the imperial examination in the future, he would not be on the list.
He's finished.
Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, are you blaming me?"
It was she who did this, and both of them knew it.
"No." Xiao Ji answered without hesitation, "The Crown Princess is not a bad person. She has her own reasons for doing things."
"Besides, I knew about this before today, but I didn't stop it. This matter between me and the Crown Princess..."
Xie Yao took over Xiao Ji's words, "They work well together, they are a perfect match."
Xiao Ji's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Xie Yao smiled softly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for trusting me."
"No need." Xiao Ji whispered, "This matter is serious, Ye Ping'an's identity cannot be hidden."
Not only the Xie family will be paying attention to this matter, but also the palace...
After a pause, Xiao Ji continued, "Xiao Ning once recommended Song Wenbo to Mr. Qingshan."
The news is cryptic.
If Ye Ping'an hadn't been recommended by him, Mr. Qingshan wouldn't have told him. Judging from Xiao Ning's style... I'm afraid Song Wenbo is not simple either.
Xie Yao showed a proper look of surprise, "Then did I offend Princess He Yi?"
She didn't mean to hide it, but the matter of rebirth was too mysterious and she couldn't explain why she knew such a secret.
Xiao Ji glanced at Xie Yao, but did not expose her. He just said, "Don't be afraid."
Xie Yao looked up and smiled, and repeated the old words, "As long as Your Highness is here, I'm not afraid." Although the words are old, they work.
Xiao Ji: “…”
Xiao Ji simply shut up to prevent Xie Yao from saying anything inappropriate.
Xie Yao smiled, but didn't push his luck any further.
…
The capital city is very lively today. The jokes made by Song Wenbo, Xie Yujiao and Song Li at Cui's residence spread quickly throughout the capital city like the wind.
However, because Xie's father saved face by abandoning Xie Yujiao, the ones who were ridiculed the most were naturally Song Wenbo and Xie Yujiao.
But on the second day, the wind direction in the capital changed slightly.
"Princess."
Zhu Xin walked in from outside and said in a deep voice: "Now many people in Beijing are trying to make excuses for Song Wenbo."
"It is said that all the scholars in the world want to be Mr. Qingshan's disciples. Although Song Wenbo's move is a bit vain, it is understandable."
"Moreover, the rumors were widespread during those days, and Mr. Qingshan did not come forward to explain..."
"I followed your instructions and had people keep an eye on Nanfeng Pavilion in advance. These rumors really came from there."
Xiao Ning.
Xie Yao already had the answer in her mind.
The boss behind Nanfeng Pavilion is none other than Xiao Ning. On the surface, it is a place for scholars and talented people to communicate with each other, but in reality, it is Xiao Ning's "harem".
"As for the Second Miss, there have been more rumors in the past few days... She is not having an easy time in the Song family either."
"Song Wenbo hasn't been home for the past few days, and Mrs. Song Li has been torturing Xie Yujiao in various ways, even more excessive than before."
Zhu Xin couldn't help but ask, "Crown Princess, the Song family is definitely not a good place. Why doesn't the second young lady want to divorce?"
Do you like being bullied?
Last time in front of Cui's house, the opportunity was so good, but Xie Yujiao would rather die than do it...
"Could it be that Song Wenbo is some kind of demon who is bewitching people?"
Xie Yao laughed at this guess. She couldn't help but smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where is the goblin?"
Even if it really exists, it is only a vengeful evil ghost like her!
"By the way, will my cousin arrive in Beijing tomorrow?" Xie Yao asked.
Zhu Xin nodded, "That's right, we will enter the city from the South Gate tomorrow."
"Okay." Xie Yao nodded, "I'll go pick up my cousin myself!"
The next day.
Xie Yao calculated the time and got on the carriage, heading towards the South City Gate. But as soon as she drove out of Zhuque Street where the Prince's Mansion was located, the entire carriage suddenly shook violently!
"Be careful, Crown Princess!" Zhu Xin and Zhu Qing protected Xie Yao immediately.
"How do you drive the carriage?" Zhu Xin scolded and lifted the curtain.
The driver immediately said with a bitter face: "Princess, please forgive me, please forgive me, I have failed in my duty!"
He just didn't expect that such a fast carriage would suddenly appear around the corner.
"Royal sister-in-law?"
At this moment, a surprising and gentle voice sounded.
Xie Yao frowned and looked towards the source of the sound——
I saw a gentle man in a royal blue brocade robe jumping down from the carriage opposite. He took a few steps forward with a gentle expression and said, "Your humble servant greets the Empress."
The second prince, Xiao Hong.
Born to the Imperial Concubine, he is Xiao Ning's brother from the same mother.
Xie Yao quickly recognized the identity of the person in front of her and nodded politely, "Second Prince."
"Please don't blame me, my driver was reckless and offended you. Please punish me."
Xiao Hong's eyes were deep and affectionate as he stared at Xie Yao.
Xie Yao just felt sick!
This man...why does he seem to be seducing her?
She didn't understand it before, but after all, she has been learning how to seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently.
"How can I punish the Second Prince's people? It's just that being too reckless on the street is not a good thing. Today, you offended me, but as the Emperor's sister-in-law, I will not hold it against the Second Prince."
"But if innocent people are harmed, it will be a crime. As a prince, you should set an example and discipline your servants."
Xiao Hong's smile froze on his face, and he looked at Xie Yao with some disbelief in his eyes.
He was being polite, but she really scolded him?
It really gave her face!
