The person next to him suddenly said coldly: "Just stick your eyeballs on him."
Wan Ruo finally came back to her senses and couldn't help but say, "This Lord Su is indeed... well-deserved of his reputation."
Just like the rumors say, he doesn't seem like a serious person.
Xie Xianyu said calmly, "Don't look at how carefree he is now. He had a very difficult life in the past."
Wanruo turned around in confusion, but Xie Xianyu had already walked in first, and Wanruo followed him.
After entering the palace, King Xuan came personally to welcome Xie Xianyu.
All the guests present turned their gazes to the two of them, their eyes naturally falling on them. They were a perfect match, like a golden boy and a jade girl. Just by standing there, everyone felt that they were a perfect match.
There were people whispering in the garden.
"I heard that Master Xie married a merchant's daughter. From what I've seen, her demeanor is no less impressive than that of a lady from a noble family."
"Otherwise, how could she be allowed in? You better keep your mouth shut and stop calling her a merchant girl. The eldest lady of the Xie family personally brought her out to meet someone. She is already a recognized wife of the Xie family."
A woman must obey her husband after marriage, no matter what her past was like. If Xu Wanruo had been included in the Xie family tree and recognized by the elders in her family, she would no longer be a merchant girl who was looked down upon by others, but a member of the Xie family.
To slap her in the face is naturally to slap the Xie family in the face. At that time, who can afford to offend them?
Jiang Xuejun looked at Wanruo who was surrounded by people, and her face was almost ugly. Such an honor should belong to her!
She had already accepted her fate and told herself over and over again that being a concubine of King Xuan was no worse than marrying into the Xie family. When King Xuan ascended the throne, even if she was not given the title of noble concubine, she could at least get the title of concubine, which was equally honorable and noble.
But, the bitch Xu Wanruo actually married into the Xie family and enjoyed everything that should have belonged to her. How could she not hate her! How could she be willing to accept it!
"Xianyu, please sit down. The king has specially prepared the finest amber wine for you. You must taste it today."
Xie Xianyu sat down with King Xuan, and when he turned around to look at Wanruo, he saw that Chen Qinghan had already pulled her to sit in front of the low table at the side.
Chen Qinghan smiled and asked Wanruo, "I almost didn't recognize you. I've never seen you dressed like this before."
Wanruo smiled a little embarrassedly: "Business is very busy in the shop, so how can I have the free time? Princess, please forgive me for making fun of you. Is your injury better now?"
"The ointment you sent is very effective. I thought it would definitely leave a scar, but in just two months, it's faded to the point where it's invisible."
Chen Qinghan stretched out her hand to show her. It was a slender and long hand, clean and delicate, and there was indeed no trace of scars.
"Fortunately there is no scar, otherwise it would be a shame to have such a beautiful hand." Wanruo couldn't help but say.
Chen Qinghan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "What's so regrettable about it?"
The hall was bustling with activity. Prince Xuan was talking loudly, and Xie Xianyu had a hint of impatience in his eyes, but he still listened quietly out of courtesy. His eyes would occasionally glance at Wanruo, who seemed happier than the others at home.
The female members of the family naturally gathered around Princess Xuan and Wanruo, and from time to time someone would come over to toast them, chat with them, and talk about this and that.
Jiang Xuejun, who seemed to be isolated, had a vicious look in his eyes as he glanced at a noble lady beside him.
Suddenly, an inopportune voice rang out, "My cousin is from Qingzhou. When she saw you at the Ding'an Marquis's Mansion that day, she thought you looked familiar. She remembered seeing you there. Back then, the news of your marriage to County Magistrate Lin spread throughout Shiya County. Why are you suddenly back in the capital?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room, which had been noisy just a moment ago, fell into dead silence.
"Mrs. Xie has been married before?!"
