Can she be so obedient?
Xie Xianyu had a bad look on his face. He walked to the desk and saw two big characters "Xie Li" written on a piece of rice paper.
There is a sachet placed next to the rice paper.
He picked it up and took a look at it. Cuizhu immediately said, "This is a sachet left by my cousin. She said she made it especially for you. This sachet can calm your mind."
He snorted coldly. Are you going to get rid of him with such a broken thing?
He put the sachet into his palm and said calmly, "Back off."
Cuizhu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the young master was no longer angry.
-
Wutong Pavilion.
The Third Madam has been extremely unlucky recently. She was already neglected, and now her status has plummeted. Everything is going wrong for her. When she thinks of this, she wishes she could skin Xu Wanruo alive.
Just as she was getting annoyed, an old maid hurried in and whispered something in the Third Lady's ear.
The Third Madam's expression changed: "Really?"
"Seventh Miss has been crying since she came back from the temple today. She won't tell me why when asked. Her hands and body are covered in black ash, as if she had been in a fire. But today, the mountain behind Zhaojue Temple really did catch fire, and the location of the fire is even more bizarre. I heard someone say on the way here that someone heard rumors of an affair in the abandoned Zen room, so they went to watch the excitement and didn't expect there would be a fire."
The Third Madam slammed the table and cursed, "Isn't this little bitch stealing a man?"
"That's really possible. Madam, you should go and have her tried. Otherwise, she might do something shameful, and that would implicate you, Madam."
The third lady rushed out angrily. She didn't care whether Xie Xiulin was innocent or not. She was just worried that there was no one to vent her anger on. How could she not get angry now?
The third wife rushed into Xie Xiulin's room. Xie Xiulin was just about to go to bed when he saw the third wife coming angrily. He was so scared that his face turned pale.
The third lady raised her hand and slapped her in the face.
"Ah!" Xie Xiulin fell to the ground.
The Third Madam shouted angrily, "You little bitch, you shameless thing, are you having an affair with a man?"
A trace of panic flashed across Xie Xiulin's face, and he trembled with fear: "I, I, I didn't..."
The Third Lady cursed, "How dare you lie! I know all the shameful things you've done. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll skin you alive!"
After the Third Madam lied to him, Xie Xiulin actually believed it.
Xie Xiulin was frightened and dodged quickly, shaking her head desperately to explain: "No, no, I didn't have an affair. I just met with Zheng Shizi once. I didn't have an affair, but I don't know why someone said that..."
"That abandoned Zen room was on fire, and you and Prince Zheng were trapped inside. With so many people watching, no one noticed?"
The third lady immediately found the loophole.
Whether it was a secret meeting or an affair, a man and a woman were in the same room with so many people watching outside, how could there not be any rumors until now?
Xie Xiulin trembled and said, "Yes, it was Wanruo who saved me. She asked someone to change me into a servant's clothes and pull me out of the fire."
The Third Madam was suspicious: "Xu Wanruo is looking for someone? Who?"
"Yes, it was Qing'an who brought people here." Xie Xiulin tugged at the hem of Third Madam's skirt in fear. "Sister Wanruo said that Qing'an wouldn't talk nonsense and wouldn't spread it. I beg Third Madam to forgive me this time!"
The third lady's expression changed slightly. Qing'an?
He is Xie Xianyu's lover.
The Third Madam kicked Xie Xiulin away and walked into the courtyard. She suddenly sneered, "Why didn't I realize before that Xu Wanruo, that little bitch, was so capable that she could even manipulate Qing'an."
The old nanny said, "Maybe they have a good relationship? That little vixen is always good at seducing men."
The Third Madam shook her head, "That's not true. Qing'an is a sly fellow. He doesn't listen to anyone except Xie Xianyu. And those servants at Songhe Garden even dared to fool the First Madam."
"That is..."
The Third Madam suddenly thought of something: "The last time Xie Xianyu went to Songhe Garden with a woman in his arms, it caused a huge uproar. We still haven't found out who that woman is."
The old nanny was shocked and said, "Madam, do you mean that woman is Xu Wanruo?!"
The Third Madam gritted her teeth in anger, "It seems like it's almost certain. If Xie Xianyu hadn't given her permission, how could Qing'an have risked getting involved in such a scandal? That vixen Xu Wanruo actually seduced Xie Xianyu!"
"No wonder, no wonder! Last time Yun'er stole something, Xie Xianyu even came in person to blame the master for his poor teaching. I felt something was wrong at the time, and it turns out he was helping the little bitch!"
The old nanny pouted, "Having an affair without a matchmaker, what a despicable creature! I think Madam should just report it to the First Madam, have her reputation ruined and driven out of the house. That would be a way to vent Madam's anger!"
The Third Madam scolded, "Fool! Are you trying to help her get to the top? She's the one Xie Xianyu has his eye on. Even if the First Madam or the First Master said something, even if Xie Xianyu doesn't agree, she'd still stay in the Xie Mansion. If she goes on to become Xie Xianyu's concubine, how can I expect a good life?"
Xie Xianyu only had to say a few words and even the Third Master had to admit defeat, let alone her?
We must not let Xu Wanruo stay in the Xie family!
"What should we do then?"
The Third Madam sneered: "Don't worry, there are people who are more anxious than us to get rid of this bitch."
The Third Madam's eyes were filled with venom: "Go to the Jiang family in person and deliver a message to Miss Jiang San."
