Chapter 36 Xie Yao, Stop Making Trouble
Xie Yao's eyes were full of stubbornness and seriousness, though they contained a hint of grievance.
Xiao Ji was slightly startled by the look, and even forgot that their posture at the moment was extremely ambiguous. Xie Yao's breath was as sweet as orchid, and she stood on tiptoes, pressing close to him.
"……No."
It took Xiao Ji a while to react and he denied it.
The Crown Princess is very good, it is he who is not good.
Xiao Ji raised his hand and pulled down Xie Yao's hand that was hooked around his neck, "Xie Yao, stop making trouble."
He pretended to be cold and hard with a hint of warning in his voice, only in this way could he avoid being soft-hearted.
Xie Yao's hands, which she didn't want to let go of, suddenly softened, and she withdrew her hands.
Seeing Xie Yao so obedient, Xiao Ji felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt inexplicably lost.
"I have already selected the books, so I will not bother Your Highness anymore." Xie Yao took a half step back, raised the book in her hand, and turned to leave.
Xie Yao was thinking.
She could naturally sense that her efforts during this period had paid off. The prince's attitude towards her had long since changed, but he always stuck to his bottom line...
No matter how hard she tried to seduce him, it was only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.
It seems that she still has to start from the root and find out the reason why Xiao Ji "sticks to the bottom line" before she can prescribe the right medicine.
Xie Yao felt lost for a while, but soon became full of fighting spirit, holding the medical book tightly in her arms and walking quickly forward.
Xiao Ji looked at her back with complicated eyes and his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves.
"Your Highness." After a long while, Si Nan's worried voice rang out, "The Crown Princess..."
Xiao Ji didn't wait for him to speak and interrupted him directly, "Let's go."
Xiao Ji turned and walked into the study, and Si Nan had no choice but to shut up and follow him.
…
At the same time, the Song family.
Xie Yujiao hosted a banquet. Although the Song family only had one juren, it was still particularly lively today.
Xie Yujiao welcomed the guests into the courtyard with a smile, but she was still a little dissatisfied in her heart.
There were quite a few people coming today, but... they were all families of minor officials, and she really looked down on them.
"Thank you, Second Miss."
At this moment, a lady's gentle voice interrupted Xie Yujiao's thoughts, "Has the Crown Princess arrived?"
All of a sudden, all the guests in the courtyard looked over.
Xie Yujiao's smile froze on her face, and her eyes swept over the guests in the courtyard...
It's not enough that they only know how to curry favor with the rich and powerful, these people are also very short-sighted! The one who laughs last is the winner!
Xie Yao is only enjoying temporary glory at the moment, and she, the future wife of the Prime Minister, is the one that these people will never be able to reach in the future.
"Don't worry, ladies. My sister may have been delayed by many things."
Xie Yujiao smiled and comforted everyone. As soon as she entered the door, her face darkened and she frowned and asked, "Is Xie Yao not here yet?"
Gingko lowered his head, "Not yet."
"Go and urge them!" Xie Yujiao ordered immediately.
Ginkgo hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then turned and left.
"etc."
Xie Yujiao thought of something again and called out to Yin Xing, "If she doesn't come...just tell Xie Yao a message."
Prince's Mansion.
When Yuyan brought the message in, Xie Yao was reading a medical book in the room.
"Princess."
Yuyan whispered, "Miss Gingko, who is with the Second Miss, is here. She said that the Second Miss wants you to attend a banquet at the Song family."
"No."
Xie Yao didn't even raise her head.
There was no need for her to save face for Xie Yujiao.
As for how Xie Yujiao would explain to the guests who came after her...that was Xie Yujiao's business.
"The Second Miss said that if you don't go, please ask Miss Ginkgo to tell you something. Don't you want to know why the Second Miss gave up His Highness and chose Mr. Song?"
Xie Yao: “…”
Xie Yujiao actually resorted to threats.
It seems that he is really anxious.
"Change my clothes." However, Xie Yao still put down the book in her hand and decided to go to the banquet.
Xie Yao went out temporarily and arrived a little late.
But no one had any objections. Everyone immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Greetings to the Crown Princess."
In comparison, the master Xie Yujiao fell behind.
She stood in front of the hall, watching this scene, her fists clenched subconsciously, and a look of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
Even after such a long time of rebirth, she still hasn't quite adapted to the change in identity. It was obviously her who was praised by so many people before.
But now...
"No need to be polite."
Xie Yao's gentle voice interrupted Xie Yujiao's thoughts.
Xie Yujiao smiled and walked forward to hold Xie Yao's arm in an intimate manner, "Sister, why did you come just now? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xie Yao dodged the hand that Xie Yujiao extended to her, her smile not reaching her eyes, "So, it's my fault?"
Before Xie Yujiao could speak, the guests spoke up one after another, "It's not too late, it's because we came too early."
"Yes, the Crown Princess is very busy. It is a great honor for us to see her today."
“…”
Xie Yujiao listened to everyone's compliments, and undisguised contempt flashed across her eyes.
She remembered all these people!
When she becomes the Prime Minister's wife in the future, she will make these people remember what happened today and regret it.
Xie Yujiao couldn't stand seeing so many people surrounding Xie Yao and trying to show their affection to her, so she quickly spoke out in a tough tone.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the Song family banquet. Today I also want to clarify one thing in public."
"There have been a lot of unfounded rumors about my husband these past few days. They are all rumors spread by people with ulterior motives."
"My husband is a gentleman, a decent man, and more importantly, he only has me in his heart and eyes, and he has promised that he will never marry another woman in his life."
Xie Yujiao looked proud and spoke with great confidence, but the expressions of everyone present became complicated.
They have lived for so many years, but this is the first time they have seen such a way of clarification.
It's really... different.
"Sister, isn't that right?" Xie Yujiao suddenly set her gaze on Xie Yao, with a hint of threat flashing in her eyes.
When Xie Yujiao finished speaking, everyone else's eyes fell on Xie Yao.
As long as the Crown Princess nods, they will spare no effort to publicize the matter just to please her.
"This is the Song family's affair. How could I know?"
Xie Yao's intention to distance herself from the matter was very obvious. All the guests who came today were shrewd people and they understood Xie Yao's attitude just from this one sentence.
Everyone moved away from Xie Yujiao without leaving a trace.
It doesn’t matter if you have no connection with the Crown Princess, what’s more important is not to offend the Crown Princess.
Xie Yujiao's expression changed slightly, and hatred flashed in her eyes as she looked at Xie Yao.
She was about to speak when Xie Yao said, "However, I suggest that Madam Song report this to the authorities."
"If we report to the authorities and have the people who spread the rumors arrested, wouldn't that clear Mr. Song's name?" Xie Yao said sincerely.
At first glance, there was nothing wrong with Xie Yao's words.
But Xie Yujiao thought of the slap Song Wenbo gave her after she reported the case to the police last time.
This time Xie Yao asked her to report to the police again?
There is definitely a problem!
Just as Xie Yao was about to say something else, a familiar female voice suddenly rang out from the Song family's front door, "Sister-in-law, do you mean you don't believe me?"
