Chapter 285 Suffering Injustice
After breakfast, Xie Qingran took the children to the estate. Although her two children were still young, she brought them along so they could see the beautiful scenery of the estate.
Since starting school, the children have been confined to the house every day and haven't had a chance to play properly in a long time. Once they arrived at the estate, the three children started running around freely. Xie Qingran didn't stop them; instead, she felt that children should be more lively and enjoy the scenery.
Only by reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles can one grow into a well-rounded person.
Xie Qingran looked at her two little children and said with a smile, "When you grow up, you can run around with your uncle and aunt!"
"Madam, the young master is very well-behaved. He eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, and doesn't make a fuss at all." Baozhu smiled gently, liking the two children more and more as she looked at them.
Baozhu handed the child to the wet nurse and then said, "Madam, this child is so big now, shouldn't he have a name?"
"It definitely needs a name."
"Let's call it Reunion. One character is Tuan Tuan, and the other is Yuan Yuan. We're waiting for the Duke to come back so we can reunite."
"As for the daimyo, we'll have to wait for news from the Imperial Household Department."
Xie Qingran looked at the two children tenderly and gave them nicknames.
"What a lovely name. I just wonder how the Duke is doing out there."
Baozhu sighed and glanced at Xie Qingran with some worry.
No matter how capable they were, they couldn't leave their own spies in the army, so they could only anxiously wait for the battle reports from the frontier while they were in the capital.
Seeing Baozhu like this, Xie Qingran smiled and said, "I don't know how he is either, but I believe in him!"
"Sister-in-law, come on over!"
"Sister-in-law, come and pursue me!"
Xiao Yanran, holding the kite string, rushed over with a smile, hit Xie Qingran, and ran away quickly!
Seeing the little girl's unruly manner, Xie Qingran immediately burst out laughing and chased after her.
"It's so lively!"
"Sister, you're living a good life now. Look, you're surrounded by so many children. It's so lively and joyful."
Xie Hanyue walked over slowly, wearing an apricot-yellow long dress, her face covered in rouge and powder, and her hair adorned with pearls and jade. She didn't look like a daughter-in-law from a scholarly family at all, but rather like a nouveau riche.
When Xie Qingran saw Xie Hanyue, all the smiles on her face disappeared.
She looked coldly at Xie Hanyue, ordered her subordinates to take the child back, and then said indifferently, "Sister, you've come uninvited. Is there something you need?"
"Sister, we're sisters after all, why are you so cold to me?"
"I really don't know where I offended you, sister. Why won't you even give me a kind look?"
"I heard my sister became a mother, so I came to see my little nephew. What, you don't want me to see him?"
Xie Hanyue walked over step by step and sat down opposite Xie Qingran, looking in the direction of the wet nurse.
"The child is still too young to receive guests. Let your younger sister come at the full moon celebration." Xie Qingran said expressionlessly, not even wanting to exchange the most basic pleasantries.
Whenever Xie Qingran saw this person, she would feel an inexplicable surge of anger.
"Xie Qingran, you never thought I would come back one day, did you?"
"Haha, Xie Qingran, all your hard work has been for nothing."
Xie Hanyue finally couldn't keep up the act any longer, so she stood up and started mocking Xie Qingran.
"It's not so great to come back; what's truly remarkable is to be doing well."
"But you and Lu Jinzhi are birds of a feather, and you two are evenly matched, so you must be very happy, right?"
When Xie Qingran mentioned Lu Jinzhi, her eyes revealed a hint of disdain and mockery.
Upon hearing this, Xie Han was completely dumbfounded.
She originally thought that she would have a good life after marrying Lu Jinzhi, but she never expected it to be so difficult. Now the whole capital knows that she is a joke.
In front of Xie Qingran, Xie Hanyue was like a pheasant in front of a phoenix, and the more she was treated like this, the more unconvinced she became!
Xie Hanyue stood up and stared intently at Xie Qingran: "What do you have to be proud of? You are indeed impressive to have become a first-rank imperial consort, but so what? Your husband is still fighting desperately on the battlefield. Who knows when you will become a widow? I'll see if you can still be so arrogant then."
Snap!
Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Qingran slapped her hard across the face.
"My husband is brave and skilled in battle, serving the country and its people. What kind of person are you to dare curse him here?"
"Xie Hanyue, before I turn against you, either you get out of here yourself, or I'll have you tied up and thrown out. You decide!"
Back when they were in the Xie family, Xie Qingran couldn't compete with Xie Hanyue, but now that they've both left the Xie family, Xie Qingran naturally won't play any tricks on Xie Hanyue anymore; she'll just give it to her directly.
What does it mean that times have changed? This is what it means to say that times have changed!
Xie Hanyue covered her face, glaring at Xie Qingran through gritted teeth, unable to recover for a long time, but in the end she turned and left in a disheveled state.
"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
Xiao Yanran looked at Xie Qingran with some concern.
Xie Qingran quickly composed herself and said calmly, "It's no big deal, let's just have fun."
The Lu family.
After Xie Hanyue returned home, she immediately smashed the room to pieces. Then, she rushed into Lu Jinzhi's study like a madwoman, grabbed the book from Lu Jinzhi's hand, and smashed it hard on the ground.
"Reading, reading! What else can you do besides reading?"
"Lu Jinzhi, you good-for-nothing! I'm so unlucky to have married you!"
Xie Hanyue went berserk towards Lu Jinzhi.
Lu Jinzhi felt annoyed looking at her like this and said irritably, "What's wrong with you now?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong with me? I must have been blind! I'll marry you!"
"Lu Jinzhi, can't you at least show me some respect?!"
Xie Hanyue glared at Lu Jinzhi through gritted teeth.
"If living with me is really this painful, then... let's get a divorce."
Lu Jinzhi rubbed his temples. It wasn't that he had no temper; he was just truly at his wit's end.
Xie Hanyue seemed completely oblivious to hardship, constantly pestering him and causing a ruckus throughout the Lu family, creating a chaotic and noisy atmosphere.
"Divorce?"
"Our marriage was arranged by the emperor; can we get a divorce?"
Xie Hanyue glared at Lu Jinzhi through gritted teeth.
If she could get a divorce, she would have brought it up long ago. Why would she have to suffer like this until now?
