Chapter 214 Love Has No Conditions
"It doesn't mean anything."
"It means exactly what it says. I was injured and punished by His Majesty, but you didn't even ask me a question."
"Moon, when did you become like this?"
When Zhao Yuanqi looked at Xie Hanyue, his eyes were full of disappointment.
Seeing his expression, Xie Hanyue's face immediately changed, and she said irritably, "Zhao Yuanqi, I really didn't expect you to become so petty. I'm already like this, and you still want to argue with me about these things? Are you even my brother?"
After saying that, Xie Hanyue stood up and walked out, saying, "You really have disappointed me!"
It was clearly Xie Hanyue's fault, but she had the ability to turn the tables and make it seem like it was all Zhao Yuanqi's fault.
Zhao Yuanqi finally realized Xie Qingran's goodness belatedly, but it seemed it was too late.
He grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it on the ground. Then he limped toward the dark room at the back. Soon, screams came from inside, and the entire Zhao family was on edge.
Xie Qingran's people had been keeping a close eye on the Zhao family and Zhao Yuanqi, so the news quickly reached Xie Qingran's ears.
Baozhu, standing beside Xie Qingran, immediately changed her expression upon hearing these words, feeling a chill run down her spine. She whispered, "Madam, would General Zhao really do such a thing?"
Xie Qingran glanced at Baozhu first, then belatedly realized that this little girl used to like Zhao Yuanqi a lot, but she probably behaved herself now and would never dare to say she liked him again.
"I told you long ago that you can't judge a book by its cover, but you wouldn't listen to me."
"Now you're dumbfounded, aren't you?"
Xie Qingran looked at Baozhu with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and pinched her cheek.
"You really can't tell from the surface. It's terrifying, absolutely terrifying."
"Princess Consort, what... what can we do?"
Baozhu looked at Xie Qingran with some worry. In any case, this was Zhao's own business. If they didn't spread it, it would be difficult for outsiders to know the details.
Xie Qingran smiled and said calmly, "We just need to know about this. As for when to use it, we'll have to wait for the right opportunity."
Not all news is meaningful; sometimes, some news may be useless. However, Xie Qingran must use this method to grasp the situation in the capital's backyard, as only in this way can she remain invincible.
Looking at Xie Qingran's expression, Baozhu felt a pang of emotion, sensing that Xie Qingran seemed somewhat different from before.
"Princess Consort, Young Master Xie has arrived and says he wishes to see you."
Jade walked in from outside and bowed to Xie Qingran. When she looked at Xie Qingran, her expression was somewhat worried: "Princess Consort, Young Master Xie's expression is not good."
Xie Qingran simply nodded: "I'll meet him in the front hall."
"yes."
Emerald breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went out, arranging for Xie Zhaoye to sit down and have some tea while waiting for Xie Qingran to arrive.
"She truly lives up to her title as the Crown Prince's consort; she's got quite the airs!"
Xie Zhaoye looked at the empty front hall and cursed loudly in anger.
Jade glanced at Xie Zhaoye and said calmly, "The Crown Princess is usually very busy, so please wait a moment, Young Master Xie."
Xie Zhaoye came on his own initiative, and Xie Qingran wasn't prepared, so it's normal for her to arrive a little late.
However, Xie Zhaoye was unhappy about it, so he came to cause trouble for Xie Qingran.
When Xie Qingran arrived, Xie Zhaoye had completely lost his patience.
"This Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is really huge, making it take you so long to get here, little sister?" Xie Zhaoye raised an eyebrow, looking at Xie Qingran with a cold smile.
Xie Qingran met his mocking gaze and was speechless for a moment. She walked directly to the main seat and sat down, saying coldly, "Speak your mind."
"you!"
Xie Zhaoye originally wanted to talk to Xie Qingran properly, but Xie Qingran had the ability to make all of Xie Zhaoye's patience vanish.
Seeing Xie Zhaoye's expression, Xie Qingran spoke again: "Speak."
"Your mother is sick, and as her daughter, you should go and see her."
"Now that you've become the Crown Prince's wife and have two children, you should know even more what it means to prioritize filial piety above all other virtues."
Xie Zhaoye looked at Xie Qingran with displeasure.
After Wang visited Xie Qingran that day, she developed a high fever that wouldn't subside and remained in a coma for several days. She had just woken up and was clamoring to see Xie Qingran.
But Xie Qingran seemed to have grown up in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and refused to go back no matter what.
Xie Zhaoye could no longer tolerate it, so he came to their door.
Seeing Xie Zhaoye's annoyed expression, Xie Qingran felt that this person was very strange.
She looked at Xie Zhaoye and said calmly, "I don't know about this."
"So now you know, are you going back or not? Give me an answer!" Xie Zhaoye pressed closer, looking at Xie Qingran with displeasure: "Look at yourself now, Xie Qingran, you're really annoying!"
Hate?
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingran was so angry she laughed, rolled her eyes at him, and said coldly, "Likewise, I hate you too!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhaoye was so angry that he stood up: "Look at you, where is the slightest bit of a sister you should be?"
"Then tell me, what kind of sister do you want, what kind of sister do you imagine?" Xie Qingran frowned slightly and looked at Xie Zhaoye with some curiosity: "Like Xie Hanyue?"
Although Xie Hanyue is not Xie Zhaoye's biological sister, they grew up together. Xie Hanyue both admires and respects her brother, Xie Qingran, making them the complete opposite.
"Yes, Yue'er is so good. Even though she's not my biological sister, she's still good to me and truly treats me like a brother!"
"But what about you? You've never truly treated me like a brother. You either hit me or scolded me. What kind of sister are you in this world?"
As Xie Zhaoye spoke, he began to feel aggrieved.
Seeing his aggrieved look, Xie Qingran sneered disdainfully and said, "If you like Xie Hanyue as your sister, then stay by Xie Hanyue's side. Why did you come to me? What do you want to say all this to me?"
"I!" Xie Zhaoye gritted his teeth: "Can't you learn from Yue'er? If you just say one nice word, I'll definitely..."
"Do you think I care about being your sister?" Xie Qingran immediately interrupted Xie Zhaoye.
She stood up and looked at Xie Zhaoye very seriously: "Let me tell you what a true brother is. A true brother is someone who loves his sister no matter what she is like. What about you? Can you do that?"
