Xie Xiuzhu couldn't help but be curious and moved forward with her eyes widened.
Meng Huaichuan hurriedly covered her eyes again.
Xie Xiuzhu was dissatisfied and started to struggle, so he simply took her away from this place of trouble.
Meng Huaichuan finally let go of her hand after they had walked quite a distance. Xie Xiuzhu angrily pushed him away: "What's wrong with you? I didn't say anything and you kidnapped me!"
"You want to watch something like this? Xie Xiuzhu, do you have no shame?"
"What kind of thing?"
Meng Huaichuan was stunned and looked at her blank eyes, unable to speak for a moment.
"It's not for you to see anyway!"
Meng Huaichuan turned around and left impatiently.
"Why can't I see it? You must have seen it if you say so!" Xie Xiuzhu was not convinced.
"I haven't seen it!" Meng Huaichuan immediately jumped up.
"If you haven't seen it, then you haven't seen it. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Why am I so anxious?!"
"Could you please keep your voice down?"
“…”
Meng Huaichuan gritted his teeth and decided not to say another word to this fool.
Xie Xiuzhu asked again: "Meng Huaichuan, why are your ears red?"
Meng Huaichuan jumped up again: "I didn't!"
Meng Huaichuan took a deep breath and forced himself to recover before saying to Xie Xiuzhu, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Do you understand?"
"oh."
Xie Xiuzhu and Meng Huaichuan returned to the banquet one after another.
The eldest lady immediately grabbed Xie Xiuzhu and scolded her with a fierce face.
Xie Xiuzhu was not at all bothered. After being scolded, she immediately pulled Wanruo to her ear and whispered, "I just discovered a shocking secret."
Wanruo asked in surprise, "What secret?"
"I saw the Queen give a woman to the Prince of Zhennan."
As soon as these words came out, there was a "bang" sound of a wine glass hitting the ground.
Xie Xiuzhu and Wanruo turned around and saw Su Yan's face turn pale instantly. He almost rushed over and said, "What did you say?! Where are you?!"
The banquet was about to begin, and Xie Xianyu was planning to come back and sit down. Su Yan had something to discuss with him so he also planned to sit with him, so he followed him. Unexpectedly, he heard these words as soon as he arrived.
Xie Xiuzhu was so frightened that her face froze: "In Tingshuixuan."
Su Yan was about to rush out, but Xie Xianyu asked again, "Did you see who it was?"
"She seems to be the Queen's maid."
Su Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Xianyu glanced at his useless look and said, "Why are you panicking? Didn't Prince Xuan's mansion have people watching over it? How could the Queen sneak him out?"
Su Yan's face was still pale: "When did I panic?"
Xie Xianyu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He walked over to Wanruo and sat down. He casually removed the wine glass that the palace maid had just brought to her and poured her a cup of hot tea.
Wan Ruo hurriedly whispered, "The Queen actually sent away even her own maid. It seems she is truly desperate. Since the Prince of Zhennan hasn't accepted her, I'm afraid there will be more trouble."
“Even without a queen, Prince Zhennan will still be in trouble.” Xie Xianyu said indifferently.
"Won't that cause trouble?" Wanruo frowned.
"I'm waiting."
"How?"
Xie Xianyu glanced at Xie Xiangli, who was sitting next to Master Xie. "What do you think?"
Wan Ruo came over and said that Xie Xiangli worked for the Queen. If Prince Zhennan made any move, Xie Xiangli would definitely be exposed.
Wanruo's heart was in turmoil, and then she felt relieved. She was worrying in vain. He had already arranged everything.
Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. Too much wisdom is like being a demon, and too much intelligence is harmful to the body. It’s better for her to live a few more years in peace and quiet.
Xie Xianyu noticed that she had suddenly become quiet, so he turned to look at her. She was sipping hot tea.
She looks pretty well behaved, so why does he feel like something is wrong?
When Meng Huaichuan returned to the banquet, the Marquis's wife also scolded him. Meng Huaichuan was already as calm as a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water. After being scolded, he sat down to eat the banquet.
"Sister, what are you looking at Master Xie doing?" Meng Huaichuan suddenly asked Zhu Jia beside him.
Zhu Jia hurriedly averted his gaze and glared at him: "When did I ever look at it?"
Meng Huaichuan looked back and saw Xie Xianyu pouring tea for his wife. They were very close to each other. It was rare for him to see the usually distant Master Xie being so gentle.
Meng Huaichuan said with a grin, "Are you envious of the loving couples out there, so you want to get married too?"
The words "loving couple" poked her face, and she froze slightly: "Don't talk nonsense."
Zhu Jia glanced at Xu Wanruo, remembering her seemingly docile but actually sharp look, and scoffed disdainfully, "Why should I envy a scheming woman like her?"
Meng Huaichuan turned around and looked at Xu Wanruo curiously: "What's the scheming? I think she's quite gentle and pretty. No wonder Master Xie likes her."
Zhu Jia's face was stiff and he remained silent with a tense expression.
Xie Xianyu suddenly glanced over coldly.
Wanruo noticed Xie Xianyu's sudden change in momentum and looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
