If you look closely, you can see the water shining on Han Ting's hands.
The small carriage was filled with a sweet aroma, and Xu Jinyi tried hard to calm his breathing.
It was a quarter of an hour later when she got off the carriage.
Minister Xu's family had already been notified that the Regent's carriage was parked opposite, but no one got out.
Therefore, Minister Xu also had people secretly observing him at home.
After all, the Regent is a demon god. Seeing that he was not parked at his doorstep, he naturally would not go up to him and cause trouble.
When the servant reported that it was the eldest daughter who got off the carriage, Minister Xu was stunned for a moment.
Only then did he remember that he had a biological daughter who had been away from home for many days.
So many things happened at home these days. Because of Xu Jingwan's matter, they all forgot about Xu Jinyi.
"You mean the eldest lady got off the Regent's carriage? Did you see who else was in the carriage?" For a moment, Minister Xu felt complicated, but also a little excited.
Thinking about the gossip he heard at court yesterday, if the Regent really rose to power in the future, and his own daughter really had something to do with him, then he...
Minister Xu was in a hot mood, but also a little worried.
After all, everyone knows the Regent. His biological daughter is beautiful, but can she really attract the attention of such a ruthless person as the Regent?
Moreover, getting on the Regent's boat is like walking on a single-plank bridge. Once you cross it, the future will be smooth sailing.
If one accidentally falls down, it will be a bottomless abyss.
However, fortune and misfortune are interdependent. Wealth and honor are right in front of him. How can he be willing to do so if he doesn't try?
Thinking of this, Minister Xu quickly walked to the gate and greeted Xu Jinyi when he saw her.
"Xiao Jin is back? How was it? Did you have fun hanging out with the princess these days? Was that the Regent who sent you back?"
Facing his father's warm welcome, Xu Jinyi's expression was indifferent: "Why? You don't welcome me back?"
Pretending not to notice her father's stiff expression, Xu Jinyi continued, "That's right. With a daughter like Xu Jingwan who is so considerate, beautiful and generous, of course you don't welcome me."
Minister Xu cursed in his heart, but after glancing at the Regent's carriage outside, he had to smile and greet him: "How could it be? You are our only daughter. You will be the only young lady in this mansion in the future. We didn't think it through before."
"Xiao Jin, is that the Regent in the carriage? You and he..."
Xu Jinyi's eyes grew colder. "Father, what do you mean by this? Is this how a father slanders his own daughter? The Regent and I are innocent. How could we be in the same carriage and be criticized?"
"Xu Jingwan is an adopted daughter, and she seduced her own brother. I can't do such an outrageous thing."
"It's really ironic when you think about it. When I first came back, you all said that Xu Jingwan was kind and generous, beautiful and noble, and that she understood the rules and etiquette best. Now listen to what people outside are saying about our Shangshu Mansion."
"You guys still treat her like a treasure, from an adopted daughter to a daughter-in-law. If this gets out, aren't you afraid of people laughing to death?"
Xu Qingyan was just about to go out with Xu Jingwan to buy things for the wedding when he heard these words.
Xu Qingyan's face instantly turned gloomy: "Shut up! Jingwan will be your sister-in-law in the future. We don't care what outsiders say. You are a member of our Xu family. How can you say such words to hurt your sister-in-law!"
Xu Jinyi looked at the two of them with disdain, not missing the disgust in Xu Jingwan's eyes. This relationship was quite intriguing.
"Since you can do it, you are not afraid of what others say. Before I came back, you were legitimate brother and sister. Now you are going to become husband and wife. The thought of it makes me sick."
Xu Qingyan didn't want his beloved woman to be insulted like this, so he raised his hand to hit Xu Jinyi.
But she was kicked away by the maid beside her.
"Ahem... Who are you?! How dare you do this to me... Ahem..."
Xu Jinyi stood up, raised his hand, and asked Bingxin to leave.
"I forgot to introduce Bingxin, the female guard gifted by the Regent. I am now the princess's dance teacher. The Regent was worried about my situation in this family, so he specially gifted Bingxin to me. Please take good care of me in the future."
Minister Xu's pupils shrank, and he looked at Bing Xin with awe in his eyes.
In other words, regardless of whether the Regent sent his daughter back or not, his daughter had shown her face in front of the Regent.
It is a different existence, otherwise why would he send guards?
It seems that even the Regent was fascinated by his beautiful daughter.
He glared at his eldest son who had no idea what was going on: "I see. I didn't expect that you, Xiaojin, are so talented in dancing that you can become the princess's teacher."
"Since the Regent thinks so highly of you, you must teach the princess well and never keep anything for yourself."
"This is Bing Xin, right? Your father will arrange a good place for you to live right away."
Xu Jingwan looked at Bingxin and clenched her hands unwillingly.
How can this be!
How could this bitch Xu Jinyi really catch the eye of the Regent!
Why does she, a village girl, have the right?
Facing Xu Jinyi's half-smile, Xu Jingwan always felt as if her innermost thoughts were known.
"No need. She can live in my yard, in case something like that happens and she can't save me in time."
Minister Xu looked embarrassed and yelled at his eldest son, "Why don't you apologize to your sister? Your sister is telling the truth. Everyone knows about your relationship with Wanwan. How many people are laughing at our Shangshu Mansion?"
Seeing Xu Qingyan's humble apology, Xu Jingwan was so angry that her teeth chattered.
I cursed Xu Qingyan in my heart as a waste.
Xu Jinyi has no time to watch them act. She has been drowsy these past two days and would be woken up after a short nap. She is now very tired.
Besides, she was still sticky after all the fooling around in the carriage just now. She wanted to get off and take a good bath and have a good sleep.
"If you don't sincerely apologize, then there's no need. I won't bother my brother and...sister-in-law while they go shopping."
After returning to the room, Xu Jinyi asked the two maids in the yard to prepare hot water, and then said to Bing Xin.
"Go and keep an eye on Xu Jingwan these nights. She's not someone who will accept her fate. Asking her to marry a disfigured man is probably more painful than killing her. I want to know what she's planning behind her back."
Although Bingxin is a guard assigned by Han Ting, she is absolutely loyal to Xu Jinyi.
Xu Jinyi asked her to go down and rest and report back if there was any news. After taking a bath, she fell asleep.
Xu Jingwan went out for a walk and when she came back, the corners of her eyes were red and she looked like she had suffered a great injustice.
"Wanwan, it's okay. After a while, no one will say anything." Xu Qingyan coaxed her from behind.
However, Xu Jingwan left him and went back to her room. She really couldn't stand the pointing of eyes when she walked with Xu Qingyan.
In the past, when she went out, everyone would look at her with admiration and love.
But now, all I see are looks of contempt.
