Many years later, just when Xihe was about to forget, the heroine was reborn.
Xie Wan'er came with great force. As soon as she was reborn, she set her target on the rebel Xiao Huaiyu who became the emperor. She frequently entered the palace, still using the name of Meng Xi.
Xihe: “…”
She said that she felt something was not right with Xie Wan'er's expression at Maoyuan that day.
The little girl who used to follow Meng Xing's lead actually dared to step forward in front of so many ministers and envoys. This was not right.
It turned out that he was reborn and had set his sights on Xiao Huaiyu.
Gouzi: "What should we do now? Should we get rid of him?"
Xihe shook his head: "No hurry, what is the male lead doing now?"
She hasn't heard from the male protagonist since the emperor's death.
Gouzi searched and found out that he worked in the Ministry of Revenue.
"Ministry of Revenue?"
Xihe was surprised. It was not easy to get into the Ministry of Revenue.
The dog scratched his butt and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, it's right there now. If you want to know, just ask your man."
Xihe: "...Get lost."
Although he knew that the heroine had been reborn and the hero had entered the Ministry of Households, Xihe was not anxious, but planned to wait and see.
She is very clear about the heroine's character. It's nothing more than that she had a miserable life in her previous life and turned evil. She was reborn and wanted to become a superior person and never be bullied again.
Now that she is reborn, although many things are different from her memories, her enemies are still there, so she naturally wants revenge.
And everything that can be used around her will naturally be used by her, such as the Meng Mansion and Xiao Huaiyu.
As Xihe expected, it didn't take long before he heard that the mistress of the Xie family had lent money at high interest in the name of Mr. Xie. The amount involved was huge and even resulted in a loss of life. She was directly taken away by Shuntian Prefecture.
Lord Xie was disgusted and, to show fairness, he wrote a letter of divorce on the spot and severed all ties with her.
The money in Mrs. Xie's home was confiscated, and she was beaten with dozens of sticks. She almost died there. After waking up, she will face more than 20 years in prison.
Overnight, only the grandfather and grandchildren were left in the Xie family.
With her grandfather ill and her father unsophisticated, Xie Wan'er, as the eldest daughter, had to take charge of the household.
It was also at this time that Xihe received Xie Wan'er's visiting card. As soon as she entered the door, the little girl threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.
She cried and cried, but kept saying "treat her like her own mother".
Xihe felt inexplicably nauseous in her chest. The person she felt closest to was Xie Wan'er, whom she had watched grow up, not the reborn heroine!
"Where did Xie Wan'er go?"
"I can't find it. It must have disappeared, right?"
After all, strictly speaking, these two are the same soul, just with a time error.
Xi He didn't comment. She gently pushed the reborn heroine away and said, "Who would have thought that someone who looks honest on weekdays would do such a thing? Fortunately, he was discovered and put in jail. You are grown up now and can take charge of the family. If you find a good husband in the future, everything will be fine."
Staring into the heroine's eyes: "Do you want me to help you choose a husband?"
The heroine was stunned, but quickly reacted and lowered her head shyly: "Madam, your kindness is so kind that Wan'er dare not refuse..."
That's what I'm happy about.
Xihe nodded: "Okay, I'll take you to the Hundred Flowers Banquet in three days."
Gouzi remained silent until Xie Wan'er left, then he exploded: "Are you really going to help her find a husband?"
Xihe casually fiddled with the bamboo sticks: "What if I really meet someone suitable? Then I don't have to keep an eye on the little rebel."
Gouzi: ...Okay.
Early in the morning of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Xihe took Xie Wan'er to a manor in the suburbs.
It was a spring feast, with flowers in full bloom, and almost all the daughters of the famous families in the capital gathered here. There were also young men riding horses and shooting arrows at the horse farm or outside the villa. It was a unique blind date.
Xihe brought Xie Wan'er over, and the ladies immediately looked them up and down secretly.
Xie Wan'er was dressed fresh and refined today. She was already good-looking, and with her experiences in her previous life, her temperament was gentle and mysterious, which was very attractive.
Although her family background is a bit poor, it would be worthwhile to marry her with the support of the Meng family.
After a brief greeting, Xie Wan'er was dragged away by some young ladies to play, while Xihe sat and chatted with the ladies.
"Something happened!"
There was a loud roar, and everyone was shocked.
Xihe hurried over and saw Xie Wan'er, who was soaked all over, standing by the lake. A group of people were surrounding her, pointing at her.
Xi He's face darkened. He strode over, pulled off his cloak and covered Xie Wan'er with it, then turned to the crowd: "Who can tell me what's going on?"
The dog chirped: "Can't you see it? The heroine must have had a conflict with some young lady and was pushed into the water by the other party..."
"I accidentally discovered that Miss Xie had fallen into the water, so I had to jump in to save her. I hope my wife will forgive me for my indiscretion."
A tall man with a handsome face stepped out from the crowd and said with a frown.
Xihe looked at his familiar face: "You are..."
The man leaned forward and said, "My name is Xiao Jingnian, nice to meet you, Madam."
The dog screamed: The male lead?!
Xi He avoided the greeting and said, "So it's Lord Xiao. Since you're saving someone, there's no such thing as being presumptuous. Wan'er, why don't you come and thank Lord Xiao for saving your life?"
Xie Wan'er came over with her head lowered: "Wan'er thanks Master Xiao."
Xiao Jingnian smiled deeply: "Thank you, Miss, for your courtesy. It's just a small favor."
At that moment, Xihe clearly saw that the corners of Xie Wan'er's mouth were tense. She looked at her calmly, then took Xie Wan'er away.
When they arrived at the small courtyard, while Xie Wan'er was changing clothes, a little maid brought her a note.
Xihe unfolded it and understood the whole story, which even involved Xiao Huaiyu.
It turned out that after separating from her, Xie Wan'er just walked with a few young ladies for a while, and then said she had abdominal pain and went to the toilet, but in fact she ran to the lake. Coincidentally, Xiao Huaiyu suddenly fell into the lake for some reason.
Xie Wan'er was as brave as any man. When she saw someone fall into the water, she immediately jumped in.
Not to mention that Xiao Huaiyu is a grown man, why would he need a girl to rescue him? As an emperor, he should have too many guards around him.
So, before Xie Wan'er could swim into the lake, she heard a "splash", and several secret guards jumped in and pulled Xiao Huaiyu out. Then, without saying a word, they sent him to change clothes.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Huaiyu disappeared.
Poor Xie Wan'er watched the man slip away in front of her eyes, and had no choice but to climb ashore. As luck would have it, her ankle was hooked by the seaweed.
What happened next was just as Xiao Jingnian said. He passed by and saw Xie Wan'er struggling in the water, and there was no one around.
Eager to save the person, he had no choice but to jump in and pull the person out.
Xihe: ...My goodness, the plot has been changed beyond recognition. Xiao Huaiyu actually fell into the water in front of the heroine!
