Chapter 90
Xie Yunchu had just said it casually, but when he saw Wang Shuhuai was silent, he straightened his mind slightly.
In her previous life, she liked Wang Shuhuai. If it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t be willing to marry him.
But Wang Shuhuai chose the right wife, and that is why, after her death, he would choose another suitable wife.
Wang Shuhuai stared at her, not knowing how to answer.
"Yun Chu, if you were not my wife, I would not have the chance to like you. Only after we become married can we have the opportunity to get to know each other better."
Xie Yunchu stopped joking and said, "You are right."
Wang Shuhuai would not be easily swayed by any woman. He respected, trusted and loved his wife. As long as she was alive, she was the woman he "liked".
In this way, even if Xie Yunxiu came back, she wouldn't have to worry.
Wang Shuhuai looked at his wife with a gentle and pretty face, and still felt a little unhappy.
Xie Yunchu slowly helped him wring out the wet towel again and asked him softly,
"Second Master passed by Jiangzhou on his way back. How many days did he stay there?"
Wang Shuhuai's thoughts were interrupted by her. He put aside the confusion for the time being and replied, "I only rested for two hours at Jiangzhou Wharf."
Xie Yunchu was slightly stunned, and asked calmly, "Who is it?"
Wang Shuhuai didn't know why Xie Yunchu cared about this, "I met the prefect of Jiangzhou."
"Oh..." Xie Yunchu did not ask any more questions. She was not willing to mention Xie Yunxiu. There was nothing to worry about, but if she mentioned it, Wang Shuhuai would be concerned.
"I heard that there is a dish called 'Fat Mandarin Fish' in Jiangzhou, which is famous all over the world. Have you tried it, Master?"
Wang Shuhuai said casually, "I met a female spy at that time. She left in a hurry and I didn't get to taste it. If you like it, I'll find a cook from Jiangzhou for you?"
When Xie Yunchu heard the word "female spy", he was surprised. "Female spy?"
Wang Shuhuai thought of the woman, his face cold, "Yes, a woman pretended to be abducted by a brothel owner, intending to ask me for help, and even kept calling me brother-in-law..."
Hearing this, Xie Yunchu choked and looked at Wang Shuhuai in astonishment, "She called you brother-in-law, how can you be sure that she is a spy?"
Xie Yunchu seemed to have guessed what was going on. Xie Yunxiu was used to being patient and had been waiting for an opportunity for so many years. When she heard that Wang Shuhuai had arrived in Jiangzhou, how could she not take action? If it worked, she could follow him back to the capital and find ways to get close to him and win his favor on the way...
Wang Shuhuai said as a matter of course, "In front of so many people, she called me brother-in-law and was obviously coming for me. How could I not see through her?"
Xie Yunchu looked at her husband's calm expression and felt both amused and helpless.
She understood that Wang Shuhuai did not recognize Xie Yunxiu.
So Xie Yunxiu's plan completely failed.
Xie Yunchu smiled and said gently to her husband, "Turn around, I'll wipe your back."
Wang Shuhuai was a little flattered. He turned around suspiciously, still thinking about what he had said before.
When I came out after washing, Nanny Lin had already set the table in the west wing.
Sister Ke and Brother Wei were having a great time playing in the yard, and it took a long time of persuasion before they were willing to come back for dinner.
Wang Shuhuai waited for a long time, and his face became much more serious when facing the two children. Ke Jie'er leaned towards Xie Yunchu quietly with fear on her face. Er Ge'er was not very sensible yet, and he glanced at his father and then at his mother.
Xie Yunchu pointed at the small table for the two of them and said, "Hurry up and sit down to eat. If Nanny calls you later, come early. Don't delay any longer."
The mother's gentle tone soothed the two children, and they sat down to eat obediently. Ke Jie ate a big bowl and Wei Ge ate a small bowl.
Sister Ke had a good appetite. Whenever she had a meal, she would hold the bowl and spoon and eat with big mouthfuls, and she never asked anyone to feed her.
When Wang Shuhuai saw this, his expression became calm and soft.
After the banquet, Xie Yunchu said to Wang Shuhuai, "Look, we still need a father at home. With you to discipline me, I can save a little worry."
Wang Shuhuai agreed with this, but at the same time he felt guilty. "I will postpone my official duties if I can. By the way, Sister Ke is almost five years old. How is her literacy?"
Speaking of her child, Xie Yunchu is also very proud. "She learns quickly and has memorized all the Three Character Classic. But she is a little impatient. I don't know who she is like, but she learns in a hurry."
Wang Shuhuai sipped his tea and pondered, "I'll teach her."
That night, Wang Shuhuai did not go anywhere. He accompanied the two children in studying in the east room.
Since Er Ge'er couldn't read, Xie Yunchu read picture books to him. Xie Yunchu found that the two children had very different personalities, Ke Jie'er was lively while Er Ge'er was quiet. When she read the picture book, Er Ge'er listened very seriously, unlike Ke Jie'er in the past who looked around.
But Sister Ke has her own advantages. She is lively and cute, unlike Brother Wei who has a dull temper.
At night, Xie Yunchu was ready, waiting for Wang Shuhuai to touch her, but Wang Shuhuai didn't. No one knew what the man was thinking, so he just hugged her and slept all night.
The next day, Wang Shuhuai went to the court, and Xie Yunchu was also busy with the opening of the academy.
On the fifth day of July, the Xie family sent an invitation, inviting Xie Yunchu and Wang Shuhuai to have lunch over on the sixth day.
Xie Yunchu asked, "Is there a reason?"
Nanny Lin snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "The Second Miss has returned from Jiangzhou. It is said that the prefect of Jiangzhou was ordered to go to the capital to report on his work, and brought her back with him. The mistress and the master are holding a welcoming banquet for her, and you and the Second Master are invited to come and have a drink."
Xie Yunchu was stunned for a while, "Why did you ask the Second Master to go? Was it my father's idea?"
Nanny Lin replied, "It was the servant next to the master who brought the message, saying that the master had something to discuss with the second master."
Xie Yunchu was silent for a moment and said nothing.
She had no intention of stopping Wang Shuhuai from meeting Xie Yunxiu. Was she guarding against Xie Yunxiu today and another woman tomorrow?
How could she have the free time for that? Besides, in the final analysis, these things had to be handled by Wang Shuhuai himself.
"You ask Minggui to tell the Second Master about this."
Wang Shuhuai came home early that night and insisted on squeezing into Xie Yunchu's bed.
"Isn't the master in a hurry?"
Xie Yunchu deliberately hid, and Wang Shuhuai pushed her to the corner of the bed.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Xie Yunchu left his two children behind and got on a car to go to Xie's house alone.
In the warm wind, a gentle, soft, yet pretty woman stood in front of the gate waiting for her.
With tears in the corners of her eyes and red cheeks, she looked so pitiful, just like Aunt Lu back then.
Xie Yunchu was helped down from the carriage by Chunqi and Xia An, one on each side. Xie Yunxiu first took a quick look at her, and saw that she was wearing a thin, deep red double-breasted jacket with a large-leaf peony pattern, a light red gauze draped over her elbows, and a long shantung gauze skirt of the same color.
The aura is graceful and noble.
Xie Yunxiu couldn't hide her envy.
"I haven't seen you for many years. You look even more beautiful than before."
She stepped forward timidly and saluted.
Xie Yunchu looked at her quietly. The first thing that came to his mind was the smug look of Xie Yunxiu before his death. The cold and ruthless face overlapped with the frail woman in front of him, making Xie Yunchu feel a little dazed.
She said coldly, "Sister, please stand up. I see that you look weak and thin. Are you not having a good time in Jiangzhou?"
Xie Yunxiu was only wearing a thin jacket with pink trim, a plain pink skirt, and an ordinary silk jacket. The material was not luxurious. "Something happened to my aunt, and I am ashamed. I have no face to come back to see my father and sister. It's because my aunt cares too much about my father that she did those stupid things," Xie Yunxiu said as she gently wiped away her tears. Her face was filled with sorrow and she looked delicate.
Xie Yunchu understood that Xie Yunxiu was used to showing weakness in front of her, dressing simply and acting pitiful so as to provoke her to pity him.
Just at this moment, a lively woman came running in from the threshold. She came over happily and immediately hugged Xie Yunchu's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister, you are back."
It was the fourth sister Xie Yunshuang.
Xie Yunshuang looked at Xie Yunxiu as if it was a matter of course and said, "Second sister, the sun is shining, why are you blocking me here to talk? If you have anything to say, go inside and talk."
Seeing the two of them being so intimate, Xie Yunxiu drooped her eyelashes slightly and said shyly, "I am rude."
The group arrived at the main hall in the backyard. Madam Ming was standing in front of the steps waiting for Xie Yunchu. She greeted her and took her arm to sit beside her.
"Why didn't you bring the two children?"
Xie Yunchu laughed, "The weather hasn't turned cold yet, and they are making a lot of noise, sweating profusely, and have to change clothes several times a day. It's really a pain for me."
Mrs. Ming understood.
Xie Yunchu asked again, "Why don't you see Grandmother and Second Aunt?"
Madam Ming smiled and said, "The old lady from your second aunt's family is celebrating her birthday, and your grandmother has been taken there to stay for two days. On the birthday, your father and I will go and take her back home."
Suddenly, I saw Xie Yunxiu standing alone at the door, saying,
"What are you doing standing there, kid?"
Xie Yunxiu, tears still welling up in her eyes, came to Madam Ming and bowed, "I saw that my mother and sister were very close, and I couldn't get a word in. I regretted not being able to come back earlier to enjoy their company."
Madam Ming looked calm and motioned her to sit on a brocade stool opposite Xie Yunchu, "Don't think too much."
Since Xie Yunxiu came back, she knelt before her and cried pitifully, talking about how difficult her life was in Jiangzhou, how poor her health was, and how she felt ashamed for not being able to return home earlier to serve her stepmother.
Madam Ming didn't like Xie Yunxiu's behavior. If she didn't come back, then she didn't come back. Why did she pretend to be helpless? She could see that this stepdaughter was not an easy person to deal with.
Xie Yunshuang asked innocently, "Second sister, why didn't you come back to the capital for so many years? I thought you were going to get married in Jiangzhou."
Xie Yunchu and Madam Ming also looked at her.
Xie Yunxiu lowered her eyes, her tone bitter, "I was going to come back four years ago, but then I heard about my aunt's situation, and I vomited blood and became seriously ill. It was more than a year since then. After my mother got married, I wanted to go back to Beijing to meet my stepmother, but there was an epidemic in Jiangzhou for a while, and my aunt got sick. No one in the mansion dared to serve her, so I covered my face with a veil and served her for five days. Later, my aunt got better, but I got sick again. The new and old illnesses came together, and I was in remission. I was living under someone else's roof, and I was so sad that I had no one to vent to..."
After hearing this, Madam Ming looked at Xie Yunchu. She didn't know how much truth there was in these words, but they sounded very pitiful.
"Tomorrow I'll ask a doctor to come over and take a look at you. You're not young anymore, and your brothers and sisters are all looking for marriages. It's not right to keep you here. When you get better, I'll choose a marriage for you. You can marry someone down-to-earth and live a peaceful life."
Xie Yunxiu burst into tears upon hearing this, and fell to Madam Ming, sobbing, "Thank you, mother, for your love, but I am weak, and I am afraid that even if I get married, I will not be able to live peacefully. Why bother to cause trouble for others? If mother does not mind, please give me a corner of the yard and live out the rest of my life there."
Mrs. Ming didn't like to hear these unlucky words, "Nonsense."
Xie Yunshuang said, "Sister, don't make mother angry. You can't stay at home forever."
Xie Yunxiu looked at Xie Yunchu with tears in her eyes at this moment.
"I heard that you opened a girls' academy in Chenjiayuan. I'm really looking forward to it. Sister, Jiangzhou Academy was founded by my uncle. I once set up a courtyard in it as a girls' school and taught the girls in Jiangzhou to read and study. If you don't mind, can I go over and help?"
So this is the purpose.
Xie Yunchu smiled, "There is no shortage of manpower for the time being. If there is a vacancy one day, I will consider it."
This is considered a rejection.
Xie Yunxiu smiled awkwardly and was speechless for a moment.
At around noon, Wang Shuhuai arrived, and Xie Hui took his son-in-law and son to the backyard to have lunch.
Madam Ming brought Xie Yunchu to greet them. Xie Yunchu subconsciously looked at Xie Yunxiu, but there was no sign of Xie Yunxiu. Wang Shuhuai's eyes first fell on Xie Yunchu. He felt that his wife was radiant today, so he naturally came to her side and saluted respectfully to Madam Ming.
Xie Hui invited the group into the dining hall.
There weren't many people at home, so they only had an eight-person table.
When everyone was seated, Xie Yunzhou suddenly realized that his sister Xie Yunxiu was missing, so he asked Xie Yunshuang,
"Where's the second sister?"
Xie Yunshuang was also confused, "He was here just now?"
As I was looking around, a gentle voice came from the door.
"Father, mother, daughter is late."
Xie Yunchu looked back and found that Xie Yunxiu had changed her clothes. She took off the old shirt she was wearing and put on a Song Dynasty brocade short jacket with crabapple pattern and a bright horse-faced skirt. She had combed her hair into a fallen horse bun, which made her look elegant and generous.
Xie Yunchu narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the clothes.
Xie Yunxiu stepped in from the threshold and bowed to everyone.
Xie Hui was slightly unhappy, "Why are you so late?"
Xie Yunxiu knelt down and explained, "A cat ran over when we were drinking tea just now, and my daughter's clothes got wet, so she went to the backyard to change clothes." She never glanced in the direction of Wang Shuhuai.
Xie Hui didn't say anything and motioned for her to sit down.
Xie Hui and Madam Ming sat in the main seats, Wang Shuhuai sat below Xie Hui, and Xie Yunxiu sat just opposite Wang Shuhuai.
Xie Yunchu saw her whole trick. If he remembered correctly, this dress was the one she wore on the day of her engagement with Wang Shuhuai before her marriage. When she was packing her boxes before getting married, Xie Yunxiu asked for this dress. He didn't understand it at first, but now, considering Xie Yunxiu's various deeds in her previous life, Xie Yunchu figured it out.
It turned out that Xie Yunxiu pretended to be weak in front of her to gain sympathy, but when she was in front of Wang Shuhuai, she pretended to be completely different, comparing herself to her in every way to attract Wang Shuhuai's attention.
Xie Yunchu felt as sick as if he had swallowed a fly.
Xie Hui pointed at Xie Yunxiu and introduced her to Wang Shuhuai.
"Shu Huai may not remember, she is Yun Chu's second sister. She used to live in Jiangzhou and just returned home recently. Today is her welcome party."
Xie Yunxiu acted virtuous and gentle, stood up and bowed to Wang Shuhuai, "Greetings to my brother-in-law." She hoped that Wang Shuhuai would continue to be face-blind and not recognize her.
Xie Yunchu drank her tea and watched her husband's reaction indifferently. Upon hearing this, Wang Shuhuai raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Yunxiu. When the other party's eyes met his, she lowered her head shyly.
Wang Shuhuai frowned slightly. He might not have any memory of women, but it was impossible for him to have no impression of the "spy". He also heard that Xie Yunxiu had stayed in Jiangzhou. A flash of lightning flashed through his mind. Could it be that he had made a mistake that day?
"Excuse me, second sister, was it you I saw at Jiangzhou dock that day?"
Xie Yunxiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, her lips and teeth trembled, and she stammered, "Brother-in-law, I..."
Wang Shuhuai recognized the man who called him brother-in-law. "How did my second sister escape from the clutches of that brothel owner? To be honest, I didn't recognize my second sister and didn't help her."
Xie Hui and the others' expressions suddenly changed. "What do you mean? What madam?"
Xie Hui stared at Xie Yunxiu in disbelief.
Xie Yunxiu almost cried, and stuttered as she explained, "No... it was a misunderstanding that day... the other party recognized the wrong person, and then... later they let me go."
Xie Hui was a fussy old scholar who was very strict with his children and would not allow his daughter to make any mistakes. He immediately said angrily,
"How could you, a girl, go to the dock alone? And let the madam catch you? I wrote to you many times asking you to return to Beijing, but you refused. But this time you are so eager to come back. It turns out that you can't stay in Jiangzhou anymore, so you returned to Beijing to avoid the limelight!"
The more she described the situation, the worse it got. Xie Yunxiu burst into tears, "Dad, it's not what you said. I told you it was a misunderstanding."
Xie Hui's face looked very unhappy. He looked at Wang Shuhuai, but didn't want to blame him.
Wang Shuhuai didn't feel that guilty. He had never heard Xie Yunchu mention this sister, which showed that they were not close. In this case, it didn't matter whether to save her or not. He looked at Xie Yunchu, and there was no blame in Xie Yunchu's eyes. Wang Shuhuai felt relieved.
Xie Yunchu even took the initiative to excuse Wang Shuhuai, "My sister has always been playful, she must have been separated from her companions, and because of her beauty, she was taken by the madam. It's not your fault that Second Master didn't recognize her. Don't take it to heart. Not to mention Second Master, if it was me, I'm afraid I wouldn't necessarily recognize her either."
Implicit in his words was a blame for Xie Yunxiu being frivolous.
Xie Yunxiu glanced at Xie Yunchu angrily, lowered her eyes, held back her tears and dared not cry anymore.
Xie Hui became more and more angry, pointing at Xie Yunxiu and scolding, "Go back to your room now. You are not allowed to go out without your mother's permission. Stay at home honestly."
Xie Yunxiu burst into tears and returned to her yard feeling aggrieved.
After this incident, how can she face Wang Shuhuai in the future?
Since the day when the top scholar was paraded through the streets, Xie Yunxiu fell in love with Wang Shuhuai at first sight. It has been exactly six years now. She knows very well that the Xie family is far inferior to the Wang family and did not dare to have any unrealistic thoughts until Xie Yunchu and Wang Shuhuai got engaged. She saw with her own eyes that handsome and elegant man coming to the Xie family to propose marriage. At that moment, an idea came to her mind: if Xie Yunchu has it, why can't she have it too?
After Xie Yunchu got married, her father Xie Hui started to arrange a marriage for her. She was unwilling to marry someone else, so she hid in Jiangzhou. She originally wanted to gradually forget about him, but Wang Shuhuai was too outstanding. Seeing him rising step by step, Xie Yunxiu felt more and more uncomfortable. Her mother, Aunt Lu, knew her concerns very well, and advised her not to be anxious, to act prudently, and to wait until she was made the legitimate daughter, and then everything would be possible.
Unfortunately, Xie Yunxiu waited and waited, but received no good news from his mother. Later, when he learned that Xie Yunchu had driven his mother to Zhuangzi, Xie Yunxiu was extremely angry and focused more on Wang Shuhuai.
In order to win Wang Shuhuai's favor, she studied hard in Jiangzhou Academy and read a wide range of classics, history, and literature. After hearing about his western expedition to the State of Chu, she even learned a lot about the customs and culture of the State of Chu and collected ancient books and news related to Western Chu. She just wanted to tell Wang Shuhuai that she was more knowledgeable than Xie Yunchu. How could a man as wise as Wang Shuhuai like a woman who stayed in the backyard all day long and was entangled in mundane affairs?
She must find a way to change Wang Shuhuai's prejudice against her.
So Xie Yunxiu quietly told the maid to go to the dining hall to inquire for news.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, the maid hurried back and told her,
"The eldest lady went with the mistress to the backyard to get the clothes for the children. The master was called to the front yard. At this moment, the two young masters are drinking tea with the son-in-law in the flower hall."
When Xie Yunxiu heard that the opportunity had come, he immediately took a few prepared books, quietly came out from the corridor behind the dining hall, and found Wang Shuhuai.
The hot midday sun shone through the branches. Wang Shuhuai was talking to his two brothers-in-law. It was too far to hear what he was saying, but I could hear his tone, which was neither hurried nor slow, and very pleasant to the ear.
Xie Yunxiu walked slowly from the right corridor, regaining his graceful and decent appearance, and came in front of Wang Shuhuai, bowing to him.
"Brother-in-law, what happened that day was a misunderstanding. I don't blame you for not recognizing me. Fortunately, I am out of danger and nothing happened. You don't have to take it to heart."
Wang Shuhuai held the teacup in his hand and glanced at Xie Yunxiu indifferently.
Apart from his wife and family at home, he has spoken to very few women outside of his home.
Xie Yunxiu's sudden appearance made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"I don't take it to heart. Second sister, please be more cautious in the future."
To put it bluntly, what does this have to do with him?
Xie Yunxiu heard the indifference in his tone, and her heart felt a little blocked. Time was running out, so Xie Yunxiu didn't dare to delay and immediately pushed the book in her hand forward.
"Speaking of which, when I was studying at Jiangzhou Academy, I found these old books, which recorded the geography of Chu State. Perhaps they would be useful to my brother-in-law in his expedition to the west."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunzhou immediately stood up, leaned over to take the book, and said with admiration, "Sister is amazing. She actually found such a rare ancient book. My brother-in-law just mentioned that the topography of Western Chu is complicated, and it is not easy to conquer it in one go."
Xie Yunzhou flipped through a few pages and saw a map. He was very surprised and quickly handed it to Wang Shuhuai.
"Look, brother-in-law, here is a map of the mountains and rivers in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It will be of great help to you."
Wang Shuhuai did not look at the book. He slowly put down the teacup in his hand, making a very light crisp sound. The atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly became stagnant. He looked at Xie Yunxiu deeply. Xie Yunxiu met his eyes and immediately lowered her eyes.
The pressure from a superior was overwhelming.
Xie Yunxiu's heart was pounding.
Wang Shuhuai has always been a sensitive person. He is not used to strangers approaching him, especially strange women.
He didn't know whether Xie Yunxiu was sincerely helping or had other motives.
So he didn't say anything.
Look at her quietly.
He continued to hold the teacup and drink tea with a leisurely look on his face.
Xie Yunxiu was left there, looking very uncomfortable. She raised her eyes to look at her younger brothers Xie Yunzhou and Xie Yunyou. Xie Yunzhou didn't understand what was going on. Xie Yunyou was sitting on the other side of Wang Shuhuai, looking at this side with a smile on his face.
If it were someone else, being left aside by their brother-in-law would definitely make them leave in embarrassment.
If Xie Yunxiu had simply discovered the good book by accident and wanted to help her brother-in-law, she should have fled in embarrassment at this moment.
But Xie Yunxiu was unwilling to give in. Xie Hui had already banned her from traveling, and it would be even more difficult for her to see Wang Shuhuai in the future. Today was her only legitimate chance.
She suppressed her nervousness and continued in a low voice,
"In the past, Meng Luchuan provoked my brother-in-law and bullied my sister. I was so angry that I secretly hoped that my brother-in-law would be able to conquer Western Chu with great momentum. I spent half a year searching all over Jiangzhou and Hunan for these books. I hope my brother-in-law will accept them."
Xie Yunxiu gave herself a perfect excuse, and anyone would be moved by her sincerity.
But Wang Shuhuai was not an ordinary person. The more Xie Yunxiu insisted, the more strange it seemed to him. He frowned and asked,
"Do I have to accept this book today?" His tone was ruthless and cold, with a hint of sarcasm, "Except for your sister, I never accept anything from any woman."
Xie Yunxiu's expression froze, "Brother-in-law..."
Xie Yunyou sat and watched for a while, then chuckled, "If you are being attentive to someone for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief. Second sister, your brother-in-law has seen through you."
Xie Yunxiu was so ashamed that she ran away with the book in her arms.
Madam Ming made two small backpacks for Ke Jie'er and Wei Ge'er respectively. Xie Yunchu accompanied her to the backyard to get them. When she returned to the flower hall, she saw that her husband looked unhappy and became puzzled. Wang Shuhuai said nothing and took her straight out of the house and got into the carriage.
Xie Yunchu noticed something was wrong and immediately asked, "What happened?"
Wang Shuhuai told her what happened just now, "Your sister is not very obedient. I will not attend Xie family banquets in the future, okay?"
Xie Yunchu was a little surprised.
In her previous life, she was bewitched by Aunt Lu and was very open-hearted to this mother and daughter. Xie Yunxiu often came to her house to help her take care of the children. When she occasionally met Wang Shuhuai, she remained silent and was very cautious.
In his previous life, when Wang Shuhuai was conquering Chu, Xie Yunxiu also found a few books for her and asked her to pass them on to Wang Shuhuai. At that time, she was only concerned about sharing her husband's worries, so she asked Qiu Sui to send the books to the study.
Wang Shuhuai finally returned the books, saying that the records in these books were wrong and that it was Xi Chu who deliberately misled the people.
She was very ashamed, and Xie Yunxiu was also very upset. Since then, Xie Yunxiu did not dare to show her kindness easily.
Presumably in her previous life, Xie Yunxiu was calm and composed with the help of Aunt Lu and Qiu Sui as her accomplice. But in this life, her wings have been clipped, so naturally she is not so patient.
It can be seen that Wang Shuhuai has developed a dislike for Xie Yunxiu.
She once doubted whether Wang Shuhuai liked a woman like Xie Yunxiu. Judging from Wang Shuhuai's behavior today, Wang Shuhuai had no selfish feelings for Xie Yunxiu in his previous life.
Wang Shuhuai was still unsure of what Xie Yunxiu was thinking. He was merciless to servants who betrayed their masters, and if it was a sister-in-law who coveted her brother-in-law, he would not be lenient either.
