"Madam, my Wan'er is a pure and innocent girl, but she went to the Hundred Flowers Banquet and was raped by a man from outside her family... in public. What will happen to her in the future? Madam, you must make a decision for her!"
In the flower hall of the Meng Mansion, the old grandmother of the Xie Mansion was wiping her tears and crying loudly.
The people around him were almost fed up with listening, but Xi He remained calm, "Make the decision? How do you want me to make the decision? How about letting Master Xiao marry Wan'er?"
"Master Xiao also said that as long as Wan'er is willing, he will invite a matchmaker to come."
"Can't!"
Old lady Xie interrupted hastily.
Her granddaughter is going to be the queen, how could she possibly marry the son of a traitor!
Xi He raised an eyebrow, "Why not? Lord Xiao is handsome, and he's already an assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue before he even turned thirty. He's still unmarried, and his backyard is clean. I wonder how many girls dream of him."
"No! He is unlucky for his parents, brothers and sisters, and everyone..."
"Old lady, be careful with your words!"
Old Mrs. Xie choked and held it back unwillingly.
Xihe looked at Xie Wan'er: "Wan'er, tell me yourself."
Xie Wan'er pursed her lips, opened and closed her mouth, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she couldn't say anything.
Xi He stared at her and said, "It's my fault for not protecting you at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. If you have any requests, please let me know. However, Master Xiao is young and promising, and he is indeed a good choice."
"And that's it."
Xie Wan'er raised her head.
Xihe added with a smile: "You'd better think clearly about what this matter is like and how your future life will be like."
Xie Wan'er's pupils shrank and she stared at Xihe closely, but Xihe did not dodge or avoid her.
The all-seeing look in his eyes made Xie Wan'er's face turn pale in an instant.
The nails dug into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all. Her head was buzzing, and at that moment she even felt that the woman in front of her saw through everything about her.
She couldn't help but think of her previous life. This woman was not like this at all in her previous life... In fact, after she was reborn, she found that many things had changed.
For example, the person who should have ascended the throne was imprisoned, and Lord Meng, who should have died at the border, not only did not die, but also transformed himself into the Prime Minister who held great power. For example, she "herself" actually became friends with the Prime Minister's daughter.
Because of Meng Xi's existence, she, who should have been abused by her stepmother, lived a happy life and was even able to enter and leave the palace freely.
What is even more unbelievable is that the gloomy prince of the marquis's mansion, who, like her, was abused by his stepmother when he grew up, is actually the son of the late crown prince. After the death of the late emperor, the throne was passed to him.
It has changed, everything has changed.
The only thing that remains unchanged is her, who is scarred from her previous life.
Tears welled up in Xie Wan'er's eyes, and at that moment, great sorrow came over her.
How nice it would be if she was the one living in this life.
Xihe looked at her in pain, suddenly understood, and then fell silent.
Not everyone can choose their own life. If she had not appeared, or if she had stopped Xian'er and Xie Wan'er from becoming friends out of vigilance, Xie Wan'er in this life would still repeat the life of her previous life.
In fact, she didn't mind Xie Wan'er's scheming to climb up the ladder, as long as she didn't go too far.
After all, everyone has the right to pursue the life they want.
But Xie Wan'er is still not smart enough.
For example, when she jumped into the water to save someone, she was very sure that the heroine did not save him accidentally. She had calculated that Xiao Huaiyu had fallen into the water in her previous life, so she saved him with a lucky mentality.
As a result, Xiao Huaiyu did fall into the water, but was rescued by the secret guards.
She herself was saved by Xiao Jingnian because of this, and her innocence was lost in front of everyone... It can only be said that she deserves it.
"Wan'er, have you thought about it?"
Now that things have come to this, it would be stupid to still pester Xiao Huaiyu without thinking.
“I, I…”
Xie Wan'er bit her lower lip, and suddenly, the slightly deep smile on the man's lips flashed through her mind.
"You silly girl, what are you dawdling about? Tell us now that you have a lover, and it's His Majesty. As for that toad who wants to eat swan flesh, get out of here, and it's best if he gets away as far away as possible!" Old Mrs. Xie leaned close to Xie Wan'er's ear and said harshly.
The face in Xie Wan'er's mind instantly changed into the handsome and noble face of the emperor.
She opened her mouth and said, "Madam, Wan'er already has someone in her heart and doesn't want to delay Master Xiao."
Lowering her eyes, she realized that in this life she was lucky enough to become close friends with the daughter of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister's wife was also very kind to her, and they had a history before His Majesty ascended the throne. With such good luck, wouldn't it be a pity not to enter the palace?
And she believed that as long as she was given the opportunity, she would be able to win the heart of His Majesty.
Xihe: “…”
Old Lady Xie said with a shamefaced expression, "Madam, could you please ask His Majesty to send Lord Xiao away for a few years? Wan'er's reputation is affected by him being in the capital. If he leaves, everyone will forget about this matter in two years, and Wan'er will have an easier time finding a husband."
Xihe: "So, this is what you came here for today?"
Old Mrs. Xie nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, this is for Wan'er's sake, she is about to get married..."
Xi He waved her hand and said, "The transfer of officials is a matter of the imperial court. I have no say in the matter. Of course, you can rest assured that I will not spread rumors about Wan'er falling into the water."
"But……"
"Luwu, show the guest out."
The people in the Xie Mansion wanted to say something, but the maids had already stepped forward and politely asked them to leave.
As the man left, three people walked out from behind the screen.
The tall and handsome man in black clothes with an immortal appearance is Meng Yuchuan, the one with a smile on his face is the little emperor, and the last man with a resolute face is Xiao Jingnian.
