Chapter 1169 Read more when you have nothing to do

For a while, the Xie family was in chaos and everyone was in danger.

Fortunately, the Emperor of Chu is not too strict about these things.

And because Lord Xie handled the matter extremely properly and quickly, as these punishments were implemented, the uproar gradually subsided.

After that, Lu Xingwan was not idle. Instead, she frequently went in and out of Xie's house.

After this incident, she actually discovered that Xie Mingxue was really a timid and cowardly girl.

Although we have temporarily escaped from the predicament because Mrs. Xie and Xie Mingfang have been punished, there is always a chance of something happening.

What if Mrs. Xie turns against them and deliberately torments them again?

I'm afraid that the suffering Xie Mingfang had gone through was enough to make Mrs. Xie hate the mother and daughter. I'm afraid that Xie Mingxue's weak personality must be unable to cope with it.

Lord Xie is not stupid, he will definitely understand it.

The reason why I frequently go in and out of Xie's house is just to make decisions for Xie Mingxue, right?

Yes, Mr. Xie is a smart man.

He naturally noticed the princess's care for him, a concubine's daughter. After weighing the pros and cons, he changed his previous neglect of Xie Mingxue and began to support her because of her talent.

With the support of her father and the princess's backing, Xie Mingxue's life in the Xie family gradually became stable.

Seeing that her former timid and cowardly appearance was gradually disappearing from her, Lu Xingwan felt relieved.

Ever since that elegant gathering, the school seemed to be suddenly shrouded in a gloomy haze.

The classroom, which used to be full of laughter and joy, suddenly became cautious.

Needless to say, it was naturally because of Xie Mingfang's matter.

Everyone was naturally uninterested. Even though the course was a bit boring, no one had the heart to discuss the matter and everyone just buried their heads in studying.

In the classroom, if anyone accidentally saw the empty seat next to the Eighth Princess, it would be as if a huge rock was pressing down on everyone's heart.

That empty seat seemed to remind everyone every moment of the unpleasant things that had happened at the gathering before.

However, for a talented woman like Xie Mingxue, it is extremely good to have such an ending.

As for Xie Mingfang, it was all her own fault.

Naturally, no one would blame Lu Xingwan. Instead, they were grateful that Lu Xingwan stepped in in time to rescue Xie Mingxue from the dire situation. Everyone was a reasonable person.

However, there are always people who don't fit in.

It seemed that Lu Xingyan and Lu Xingwan had an irreconcilable hatred.

Now, because of this incident, she felt like there was a thorn in her heart.

Of course she would mock Lu Xingwan whenever she got the chance.

"Now that everyone is praising you, are you happy?"

"You took away my eighth sister's study partner just like that. Don't you feel the slightest bit of guilt? I have never seen a person as cruel as you."

Lu Xingwan was originally huddled together with An Ziqiu, talking about something.

Lu Xingyan's voice suddenly sounded behind her. Without thinking too much, Lu Xingwan knew that she was targeting her.

Everyone looked in this direction, but no one dared to speak.

After all, it was a fight between two princesses, and neither Princess Yong'an nor the Seventh Princess was someone they could afford to offend.

Even though it seemed that the Seventh Princess was the one who provoked the situation today, Princess Yong'an was not the kind of person who would suffer a loss. They kept their heads down and were busy with their own things, not even daring to turn their heads to look in the direction of Lu Xingwan and Lu Xingyan.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lu Xingwan simply turned her head and calmly met Lu Xingyan's eyes full of anger.

Perhaps because he spends more time with Lu Xingwan now, Lu Xingyan no longer has the same fear towards Lu Xingwan as he did when she first entered the palace.

Seeing Lu Xingwan's calm look, Lu Xingyan's anger burned even more.

She stretched out her hand, almost pointing at the tip of Lu Xingwan's nose.

"Sister, if you have nothing to do, go read more."

When Lu Xingyan heard Lu Xingwan's words, he knew that she was sarcasm towards him.

How could she let it go?

She took a step forward, ready to grab Lu Xingwan by the collar.

She seemed to want to beat Lu Xingwan up.

But seeing Lu Xingyan about to approach Princess Yong'an, An Ziqiu stepped forward without hesitation and stood in front of Princess Yong'an.

Lu Xingyan knew that Lu Xingwan would disobey him, but he never thought that An Ziqiu, the daughter of a minor official, would dare to treat him like this.

She was wary of Lu Xingwan, but not of An Ziqiu.

Thinking of this, almost without thinking, Lu Xingyan raised his hand and was about to slap An Ziqiu in the face.

At this critical moment, Lu Xingwan, who had his back to Lu Xingyan, seemed to realize something.

She turned her head suddenly and raised her hands, and her slender and powerful hands tightly grasped Lu Xingyan's arm.

Seeing the domineering Lu Xingyan, Lu Xingwan was extremely disappointed and a little angry.

So she used some strength when she gripped Lu Xingyan's arm.

The sudden pain in his arm made Lu Xingyan gasp.

Lu Xingyan wanted to pull his arm free, but he was helpless.

Lu Xingwan just stared at her intently, his voice was as cold as the sky that day.

"Lu Xingyan, think carefully. If you attack An Ziqiu today, I will not let you go."

As before, Lu Xingwan's tone was extremely flat when he spoke.

But her tone made Lu Xingyan feel a little scared.

Although Lu Xingyan is a few years older than Lu Xingwan, Lu Xingwan is taller than her. She raised her head slightly and looked at Lu Xingwan in front of her. For some reason, she felt a pang in her heart.

For a moment, the two of them just stood there in a stalemate, and the air was somewhat awkward.

Qin Jiajin has always admired his aunt very much.

Now, seeing her confronting the Seventh Princess, his heart was even more overwhelmed.

She really wanted to speak up so that her aunt could teach the Seventh Princess a lesson, but after all, Lu Xingyan was still her aunt.

She was a kid, so she couldn't say much.

She could only secretly tug at Xia Wenying's sleeve from below and look at her.

Most of the time, when Xia Wenying treated Qin Jiajin, she actually treated her more like a child.

Now seeing her like this, he could only shake his head helplessly, then lowered his head and no longer looked in the direction of Lu Xingwan.

She had suffered at the hands of the Seventh Princess, so she was unwilling to get involved in the Seventh Princess's affairs. Anyway, it was impossible for Princess Yong'an to suffer at a loss today.

Mr. Rong has always maintained a very detached attitude towards the petty quarrels between these princesses and princes.

He basically stays out of it.

Firstly, the disputes among these royal heirs were not something that he, as a subject, should be involved in.

Secondly, these princesses and princes are just making minor noises and won’t cause any big trouble.

He just focused on teaching and that was it.

This incident did not have much impact on Lu Xingwan. Lu Xingyan had always disliked her and was picky about her, but she was used to it, so Lu Xingwan did not take it to heart.

Lu Xingyan, however, felt extremely embarrassed.

But when she met Lu Xingwan's eyes, she really didn't dare to do anything.
