Chapter 184 My Sister's Marriage is About to Be Completed
"I will send the consultation fee to your home."
Xie Qingran watched his retreating figure and added another sentence.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wenyuan couldn't help but laugh. In the past, when he went out with other friends, he usually paid for himself. It was very rare for someone to offer to pay for him.
It must be said that the doctor from the Shen family was quite good, so in just one day and one night, Xie Qingran felt that her wounds had healed considerably.
She returned to her room and carefully examined the wound, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that it wouldn't reopen.
Before she could sit down again, she heard a servant announce, "Your Highness, the second young lady of the Xie family requests an audience."
Xie Hanyue? What is she doing here!
Xie Qingran was furious when she heard the woman's name, but she didn't say anything. She just nodded, turned around, and strode towards the main hall.
Back in the main hall, Xie Qingran saw that Xie Hanyue had not come alone; she had brought Lu Jinzhi and Zhou Huai'an with her.
"Greetings, Sixth Prince."
Xie Qingran remained calm and simply gave a proper bow.
"Sister, I went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to look for you, but I couldn't find you anywhere. I didn't expect you to be enjoying yourself here. I just saw Brother Wenyuan go out. Are you all here together?"
Xie Hanyue looked at Xie Qingran with an innocent and curious expression.
Xie Qingran was too exhausted to watch her act, so she sat down and said coldly, "Baozhu, serve tea."
Seeing that Xie Qingran was ignoring her, Xie Hanyue frowned slightly, looking a little aggrieved: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth."
"I am the Crown Prince's wife, how could I possibly live on the estate with a man from another family?"
"Shen Wenyuan came to deliver something to me; he doesn't live here."
Xie Qingran looked at Xie Hanyue with displeasure.
This woman remained unfazed, yet her very words threatened to ruin her reputation; her intentions were truly as wicked as ever.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinzhi looked at Xie Qingran with displeasure: "Hanyue is young and just accidentally said something wrong. Why are you so bothered? As her older sister, don't you have this much tolerance?"
“My mother only gave birth to one daughter, me. How am I her older sister?”
"Just because she's surnamed Xie doesn't mean she's a member of the Xie family?"
“Oh, speaking of bloodlines, Young Master Lu is the one who has the most authority to speak on this matter, after all, among all of us, only you have your own bloodline.”
Xie Qingran snorted disdainfully and retorted without holding back.
She used to be able to give these people a kind look because of her lowly status, but now that she is the Crown Prince's wife, she naturally won't give them a kind look anymore.
"How dare you, Xie Qingran! How dare you speak to me like that!" Lu Jinzhi was furious and grabbed a teacup to smash it.
However, Xie Qingran snorted disdainfully and then said, "I am the Crown Prince's consort. What can you do to me? What do you dare to do to me? Lu Jinzhi, everyone says you are a gentleman, but don't you know that a young master like you should bow to me when you see a Crown Prince's consort like me? You not only lack proper etiquette, but you also humiliate and make things difficult for me at every turn. What kind of rule is this?"
"You!" Lu Jinzhi looked at Xie Qingran in disbelief.
He didn't know why, but the woman he used to look down on had changed so much, as if she were a completely different person. It was truly terrifying!
"Alright, what's all the noise about?"
"Why do you start arguing as soon as you see each other?"
Zhou Huai'an snorted in dissatisfaction, frowning as he glanced at Lu Jinzhi with displeasure.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinzhi's expression immediately changed: "Sixth Prince, why are you still taking her side?"
"I was just stating the facts." Zhou Huai'an rubbed his temples helplessly, feeling a surge of frustration.
He didn't come here today to watch them argue.
"Princess Consort, I've come here today to ask you for advice on how to win over the Third Miss's heart," Zhou Huai'an said, his face flushing slightly.
In his previous life, he was a gloomy male ghost, but now he is still young and not as sinister as in his previous life. Instead, he has more of the shyness and brightness that a young man should have.
Seeing Zhou Huai'an like this, Xie Qingran knew that he must genuinely like Gu Xiangyuan.
Unfortunately, he was not a true member of the imperial family.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingran subconsciously glanced at Xie Hanyue and, sure enough, saw that Xie Hanyue's expression had changed.
Xie Hanyue twisted her handkerchief and said sullenly, "The Sixth Prince really cares about the Third Miss. I just wonder if the Third Miss feels the same way about you?"
"You can't just say things like that." Zhou Huai'an looked at Xie Hanyue with some displeasure: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you always speaking so rashly?"
Xie Hanyue then realized that Zhou Huai'an had become angry.
She immediately bowed and begged for forgiveness: "Yes, it was all my nonsense, Your Highness, please forgive me!"
"A young lady's reputation is of utmost importance. The Sixth Prince should be careful with his words when he goes out."
"Otherwise, if those gossipy people spread the wrong word, wouldn't that hurt the person I love?"
Xie Qingran sat there, picked up her teacup, and spoke meaningfully.
Now, Zhou Huai'an's gaze toward Xie Hanyue grew even more sinister: "Second Miss should know what to say and what not to say, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, I will certainly not speak recklessly!" Xie Hanyue immediately agreed.
She raised her eyes and stared intently at Xie Qingran: "Sister, do you have to make things so difficult for me? Are you trying to humiliate me?"
"Did I humiliate you?" Xie Qingran put down her teacup and said coldly, "How could I not know?"
"You!" Xie Hanyue clenched her fists, but did not continue arguing.
After all, she didn't come here today to argue with Xie Qingran; she had more important things to do.
"Sister, I've never been here before. May I walk around and look around?" Xie Hanyue composed herself, smiled at Xie Qingran, and acted obediently.
Xie Qingran nodded: "Whatever."
"I'll go too." Lu Jinzhi felt annoyed by Xie Qingran's cold face, so he got up and walked outside with her.
Watching the two figures walk away, Xie Qingran smiled and said, "They're childhood sweethearts, they've been together since they were little, they really are a perfect match."
"Princess Consort, you seem quite concerned about your sister's marriage?" Zhou Huai'an frowned and looked at Xie Qingran.
Xie Qingran waved her hand dismissively and said indifferently, "This is something that should be my mother's concern. I was just curious, so I asked one more question."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huai'an laughed: "Your sister's marriage is probably just around the corner."
