Rong Qingqing naturally saw her glance and couldn't help but sneer. Was Old Madam Hua blaming Xie Jingrun for not supporting Hua Yin?
That's hilarious!
Grandma Hua held her granddaughter in her arms, her eyes suddenly reddening, and she choked out, "My poor Yinyin, it's all because your grandmother is incompetent that you've suffered so much since you were little. If your grandfather were still alive, things wouldn't have come to this..."
Rong Qingqing's face darkened. Was Old Madam Hua putting on a show of feigning injury?
Xie Jingrun said expressionlessly, "Someone! Take Miss Hua to the side hall and summon the imperial physician to treat her!"
Upon hearing this, two palace servants nearby immediately responded and hurriedly came over to carry Huayin to a side hall.
Madam Hua quickly followed.
"I'll take you back first." Xie Jingrun put his arm around Rong Qingqing's shoulder and walked towards Yuxian Palace.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing knew he was going to the side hall. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Xie Jingrun, I think Huayin was faking her fainting, and what about Old Madam Hua..."
"Qingqing!" Xie Jingrun suddenly interrupted her.
Rong Qingqing frowned at him, "Are you unhappy with what I said?"
Xie Jingrun glanced at her helplessly, "No, it's just that Huayin probably isn't faking it. Her health has always been poor, and she also has her maternal grandmother..."
Rong Qingqing pursed her lips and looked at him. "Yes, she also deliberately mentioned the late Old Master Hua."
She suddenly realized that Old Madam Hua was truly shrewd, deliberately bringing up Old Master Hua to make Xie Jingrun feel guilty, and that Hua Yin had indeed fainted in time, interrupting Xie Jingrun's decision to arrange a marriage for her, and also managing to stay in the palace.
A cold smile played on her lips.
Seeing her like this, Xie Jingrun frowned. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll go take a look."
"Alright, I know, go see them." Rong Qingqing pushed his hand away irritably and walked ahead alone.
Xie Jingrun frowned. Seeing her walk away in an instant, he wanted to chase after her, but after thinking about it, he gave up and turned to go to the side hall.
Yu Xian Palace.
Xiao Tao and Xing Chun were chatting under the eaves, their laughter ringing out, though it was unclear what they were talking about.
Upon seeing Rong Qingqing return, the two stopped talking and hurriedly went to greet her.
"Her Majesty is back. Oh, why didn't the Emperor come back with her?" Xiao Tao glanced back, somewhat surprised.
She thought the Emperor would return to Yuxian Palace.
"To hell with him!" Rong Qingqing said angrily and went straight into the bedroom.
Xiao Tao and Xing Chun were startled when they saw this.
Looking around and seeing that there were no other palace servants, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Did they have a fight?
The two composed themselves and quickly followed him inside.
One person massaged Rong Qingqing's shoulders, while the other brought her water.
Rong Qingqing took the teacup, took a sip, and still felt uneasy.
She wasn't a petty person, but Hua Yin clearly had ulterior motives towards Xie Jingrun. However, Xie Jingrun softened when he saw her faint, which made her very angry.
In fact, she had thought about this issue long before the wedding. She knew that Xie Jingrun would never sever ties with the Hua family and ignore Hua Yin because of his respect for Old Master Hua. Moreover, because of this relationship, many troublesome things would inevitably happen to her in the future, and she would probably be powerless to do anything about it. That's why she chose to run away that time.
Unexpectedly, what she feared still happened.
When Madam Hua brought up Old Master Hua, Xie Jingrun softened. Does that mean Madam Hua can use the same tactic to force Xie Jingrun to marry Hua Yin?
Thinking about this, she felt very disappointed.
