Seeing Huo Xi's ugly expression, Qingyou knew he was furious.
Although Huo Xi was disappointed and indifferent to Char Siu Bao before, he would definitely not abandon Char Siu Bao if he did not have a good life in the future, but would lend a helping hand.
After what happened today, unless it's the Holy Father, no one will care about char siu bao anymore.
Sure enough, Huo Xi couldn't help but want to confirm again, "Sister-in-law, does Ji Wen know about this?"
Qingyou nodded, "Of course they know, otherwise why would they bring people to arrest us?"
"We're right here. You'll see for yourself in a moment."
She sighed heavily, "When I first found out, I couldn't believe it either."
"But that's the truth, he's hopeless."
“I will pretend I never had such a son. Even if he dies out there, I will not care about him anymore.”
Huo Xi was at a loss for words.
Huo Jiwen's actions against him were understandable, after all, it was all for the sake of the position of heir apparent.
Moreover, although he and Huo Jiwen grew up together, their relationship was not very good.
Huo Jiwen even schemed against his own mother, who was so good to him; he was utterly inhuman.
Even if he, a man, is successfully outmaneuvered, driven out of the Duke's mansion, and scorned by the entire capital, he can still find a way to make a living by going to other places.
But my sister-in-law is a woman, how could she withstand such gossip and contempt?
My sister-in-law and brother-in-law have such a good relationship, what will they do now that this has happened?
From this point of view, he truly and utterly despised Huo Jiwen.
He was afraid that bringing up the topic again would hurt his sister-in-law's feelings even more.
So he changed the subject, looking at the straw doll in her hand and asking, "Sister-in-law, what are you making this for?"
Qingyou replied, "Shi Lingqiao has bribed several maids in my courtyard. Among them, my first-class maid is very loyal and took the initiative to come to me to tell me about this."
“I told your older brother to investigate.”
"Only then did I realize what they were up to. Shi Lingqiao has the Fourth Prince backing her up. The Fourth Prince also helped her bribe me and the people around you."
"Not long ago, I went to the palace and met Master Qingfeng. I wanted to ask him if there was any way to make these two suffer the consequences of their own actions."
"The Taoist priest gave me these two straw dolls, which can temporarily control the behavior of those two people."
This was the explanation she had wanted for a long time.
Huo Xi had heard that the Taoist priest Qingfeng was very mysterious, and he had been half-believing and half-doubting before.
Now they believed it, after all, Shi Lingqiao and the Fourth Prince did seem a bit off when they entered the room.
Qingyou continued to fiddle with the straw doll. "I think Shi Lingqiao's people have already gone to find Ji Wen. He should be here soon with his men."
"You stay here and keep watch, don't let anyone see you. I'm going to show my face in the front yard."
She can just go watch the play with the ladies and then perform a play herself.
Shi Lingqiao, that innocent white lotus, can now be removed from the online community.
Just as Little Star began singing on the stage in the front yard, a guard came to find him, saying that he had to leave the Duke's mansion for a while and would return when the banquet started.
Therefore, Huo Jiwen was given complete room to maneuver.
Huo Xi nodded, "Okay!"
He also wanted to see with his own eyes how his nephew would bring people to frame him.
Qingyou left quickly, deliberately avoiding the male guests brought by Huo Jiwen.
Before even reaching the stage, they encountered a group of ladies walking together towards the side courtyard.
She stepped outside and asked, "Where are you all going?"
She had given the excuse of washing her hands, and the time she took wasn't too long, so the ladies didn't think much of it.
Lady Pingyang said, "Madam, just now one of the guards from the young master's side ran over and said that your young master had an accident in the side courtyard. We were a little worried, so we went over to check on him."
They saw the male guests being led away by Huo Jiwen, and only after inquiring did they learn that something had happened to the new prince.
She was very curious, so she dragged the other ladies along to take a look.
Unexpectedly, they encountered the princess returning from washing her hands, which was a bit awkward.
Qingyou was stunned, and a look of anxiety appeared on her face. "What? Something happened to Xiaoxi?"
"Quick, let's go take a look."
She walked quickly toward the side courtyard, and the other ladies followed.
Since the princess didn't let them go back to the front yard, they decided to go along and see if they could be of any help.
When Qingyou and the ladies arrived at the side courtyard, Huo Jiwen was already there with the men.
Qingyou deliberately stood in a corner, out of sight of the male guests in front of her.
However, their attention was not on the people behind them at this moment.
Hearing a noise from inside the room, Huo Jiwen did not shout, but instead ordered his attendants to kick down the door.
The main reason was to prevent shouting from startling the people inside and to give them time to prepare.
The attendants were prepared and kicked the door open with a powerful kick.
Huo Jiwen strode inside, only to be dumbfounded.
When he entered, he saw his wife sitting on the fourth prince's lap with a charming expression, her lips tinged with an unnatural red, clearly indicating that they had just been passionately kissed.
The two, disheveled and embracing, were seen by the people who came in with Huo Jiwen.
Just then, Qingyou released her control over the two of them.
Upon seeing Huo Jiwen bring his men in, the two who had regained their senses were startled.
They hadn't completely lost their minds before; their minds were actually clear, but they just couldn't control their bodies and would hug and kiss each other whenever they met.
Shi Lingqiao turned her head and saw so many people standing at the door watching. She couldn't help but scream in fright, "Ah!"
