Chapter 193 Needs Care
Let's get together and have some fun.
That's quite a way to talk.
Xie Qingran could tell what Xie Hanyue was up to just by looking at her. Seeing Zhou Shi's eager expression, she sneered disdainfully, "It seems you two had already planned this all along, wanting to tell the young master that I have inappropriate contact with other men, right?"
"Sister, that's not what I meant!"
"We all grew up together, why can't we play together?"
Xie Hanyue's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Xie Qingran with a hint of resentment.
"That's not how it works! Our Xiao family is full of loyal and virtuous men, and every woman in our family is pure and innocent!"
"Princess Consort, you were already entangled with these men before you got married, and you've only gotten worse since. This is a disgrace to the Xiao family and a stain on our reputation!"
Zhou stepped forward and looked coldly at Xie Qingran.
When a woman makes things difficult for another woman, she can hit the nail on the head!
Zhou's words were truly incredibly insightful!
Seeing Zhou's determined to fight her to the death, Xie Qingran realized that it was most likely because she was still holding a grudge about the children's fight last time.
“Sister-in-law Zhou, you must be careful with your words. I was married by imperial decree and the Empress arranged my marriage. If I were truly a promiscuous slut, then it would mean they were all blind!”
"Slandering Her Majesty and Her Majesty, Zhou Sao-sao would probably have all her heads cut off, wouldn't she?"
Xie Qingran didn't hold back at all and directly retorted.
The children then noticed something unusual.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Yanran both ran over and stood in front of Xie Qingran to protect her.
"My sister-in-law is pure and virtuous, and would never do anything to betray the Xiao family!"
Xiao Yu, small as he was, stood in front of Xie Qingran, staring at Zhou Shi with a gloomy expression.
"What do you know at such a young age!"
"When you grow up, you'll understand that everything I've done is for your own good and for the Xiao family's good!"
Zhou snorted, sounding perfectly justified.
She looked directly at Xiao Jue and said, "You saw it today too. Two outsiders could just barge into this manor so easily. We're still here, so what would have happened if we weren't?"
"Watch your mouth!"
Shen Wenyuan finally realized something was wrong. His eyebrows furrowed tightly as he looked at Zhou Shi with displeasure: "We have a completely innocent relationship with the Crown Princess, so how could you describe it as so filthy? Besides, do you think everyone in the world is as dirty as you!"
"Second Miss, it's better not to call me for these kinds of things in the future. It's not just the Xiao family that cares about face; our family cares about face too!" After saying this, Shen Wenyuan turned around and left, not forgetting to roll his eyes at Lu Jinzhi before leaving.
Lu Jinzhi had come here on purpose to embarrass Xie Qingran. Now that things had escalated, he didn't want to get himself involved, so he turned around and strode outside.
Xie Hanyue never expected that these two people would be so unreliable.
She stood there awkwardly, saying, "Sister, I really didn't mean to!"
"Baozhu, go back and tell my mother to bring the person back."
Without the slightest hesitation or courtesy, Xie Qingran coldly gave an order and then pushed Xiao Jue away. The other children looked at each other and followed suit.
Now, Zhou was left behind with her two children, feeling extremely awkward.
Xiao Ting looked at Zhou Shi with dissatisfaction: "I already said what happened last time. It wasn't that you were deliberately being biased, Aunt. Why are you still so relentless?"
"I'm only doing this for your own good!"
"She's just a new bride and she's already bullying you like this. Who knows what she'll do once she's established herself? I'm doing this all for your own good!"
"You two ungrateful wretches are still protecting her!"
Zhou was furious and vented all her anger on the two people.
Hearing this, Xiao Ting asked helplessly, "Now that things have come to this, what should we do next?"
"Anyway, I'm doing this for the good of the Xiao family, so they can't do anything to me!"
Zhou remained stubbornly defiant, but inwardly he was starting to feel uneasy.
How could Xie Qingran have so casually brushed this matter aside?
Upon hearing the news, Wang rushed over and slapped Xie Hanyue twice across the face, yelling, "You bastard, what are you spouting about!"
"Mother?"
Xie Hanyue covered her burning cheeks and looked at Wang Shi in disbelief.
She had never been treated like this by Wang Shi since she was a child, and she couldn't believe that she had been slapped twice in the face.
Xie Hanyue covered her face: "Mother, why did you hit me without even asking me a question?"
"Ask? Do I even need to ask?"
"Why aren't you at home embroidering and writing? What are you doing here!"
"Are you here to cause trouble for your sister?!"
"Come on, come back with me. I'm going to teach you some manners today!"
After saying that, Wang grabbed Xie Hanyue and strode outside.
Xie Qingran stood aside, watching all of this with indifference, finding it amusing in her heart.
Xie Hanyue used to be the apple of Wang's eye, but now she's become so worthless.
It seems that Wang's love is really cheap!
Seeing Xie Qingran like this, Xiao Jue sighed: "You've been wronged. It's all my fault. Our Xiao family's inner quarters have wronged you."
"I'm not wronged at all." Xie Qingran silently withdrew her gaze, then said calmly, "I'm not wronged at all; I'm overjoyed!"
Seeing her like this, Xiao Jue felt a pang of sympathy and asked, "Are you... are you alright?"
"It's okay, I'm happy to see them fighting like dogs."
"Your Highness, let's continue!"
Xie Qingran was not affected by this incident at all; she simply took the children and ran around on the grass, then started flying kites with them.
Back when they were on the estate, Xie Qingran often did some rough work, so she could run even faster than the children!
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law is so amazing!"
Wow, my sister-in-law's kite is so high!
"Sister-in-law, please teach me!"
Several children surrounded Xie Qingran, chattering away, filling the whole village with laughter and joy.
The Fifth Prince looked at the faint smile on Xiao Jue's face and smiled back: "Sister-in-law Xie is really amazing. She single-handedly brought the entire Zhenguo Duke's Mansion back to life, and even you have lost some of your lifelessness."
"That's at least a human thing to say."
"Don't budge on the marriage proposal, especially now. Xie Hanyue needs your care and love, you know?"
