Xie Xiuyun's eyes were full of malice. Xie Xiuzhu was not just a casual target. The person she really wanted to get rid of was Xie Xiuzhu!
Xu Wanruo was of low status and could never make any waves, but Xie Xiuzhu was the real jewel in the Xie family's crown, the eldest daughter of the family, her father was a vice-prime minister, and her brother was Xie Xianyu. Is there anyone in Yanjing City who could be more glorious than her?
As long as Xie Xiuzhu is around, there is no chance for her to make a name for herself in the Xie family. Those noble families only want to marry Xie Xiuzhu, so who would take her seriously?
It is obvious that she is also the legitimate daughter of the Xie family!
Xie Xiuyun held her handkerchief tightly, her face grim. "As long as Xie Xiuzhu dies, I will be the only legitimate daughter of the Xie family."
After all, the Xie family still needs to marry into a wealthy and powerful family. Without that idiot Xie Xiuzhu taking up the position, this good marriage will naturally fall on her!
Thinking of this, Xie Xiuyun finally raised her chin with a sense of pride.
Hong Liu was a little worried: "But the Jiang family sent out bandits just to capture Xu Wanruo. Miss deliberately designed it to make the fifth lady suffer as well. If the Jiang family knew about it, would they..."
"So what if they know? It's not me who caused the bandits to capture the wrong person. Anyone caught by the bandits will die, even if they are sent here. These bandits are very mean. They capture women, no matter if they are noble ladies, the first thing they do is to abuse them. By the time the Jiang family finds out, Xie Xiuzhu will have slept with countless men. No wealthy family would be willing to marry such a disgraceful daughter-in-law."
Xie Xiuyun sneered: "Besides, I helped Jiang Xuejun so much, I can't just not get any benefits at all, right? I helped her get rid of Xu Wanruo, and she helped me get rid of Xie Xiuzhu, it can be considered a mutual benefit."

Qing'an drove the carriage to Mingxiang Teahouse. He had already found out that his cousin and seventh daughter were watching the flower god parade in this teahouse.
Xie Xianyu got out of the car and walked into the teahouse.
"Big brother?" Xie Xiuyun had already seen him from the window and immediately came out to greet him. "Why are you here?"
Xie Xianyu glanced behind her and asked, "Are you the only one?"
"My seventh sister and cousin were there too. Later, when the Flower God parade was taking place, I went downstairs to join in the fun. When I came back, they were gone. I guess they left after seeing the Flower God parade was over?"
Xie Xiuyun said with a smile: "I am also planning to go home. Big brother, do you want to go home now? Let's go together."
"I still have things to do." Xie Xianyu said calmly.
Xie Xiuyun's smile faltered slightly, but she nodded tactfully: "Then I'll go first."
After Xie Xiuyun left, Qing'an said awkwardly, "Sir, shall we go too?"
Xie Xianyu's eyes narrowed slightly. "Go and find out first to see if she really went to the Fu Mansion."
Qing'an was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions and immediately agreed: "Yes."
Qing'an immediately arranged for people to go and find out the news separately.

East Street was already filled with the sound of gongs and drums. As night fell, all the colorful lanterns on the street were lit up, and the box lights fell down layer by layer, and the crowd burst into cheers again and again.
"Wow, Sister Wanruo, look! It's so beautiful!" Xie Xiulin was very excited.
Wanruo looked at the gorgeous lights, but felt a little sad. She used to love visiting lantern festivals, but her parents were there at that time. Now she was all alone, and even Ajin was not around.
The box lights were quickly lowered, and the fire dragon was immediately raised. The atmosphere on the scene was completely heated up, with everyone cheering and applauding.
But suddenly, Wanruo saw a flash of knife among the crowd.
She was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that something bad was going to happen, and immediately wanted to pull Xie Xiulin out of the crowd.
But she didn't hold Xie Xiulin's hand, instead she was pushed back by a strong force.
