Chapter 120 The Sun family came to cause trouble, trying to bully others?
Seeing Prince Jingbei dismount from his horse, everyone in the Xie family was secretly excited.
Even Madam Xie couldn't help but straighten her back, and the smile on her face became more and more radiant.
I thought the prince would not pay his respects to the Xie family, but since he has stepped down, it means that he will still give the Earl's Mansion some respect.
Under the expectant gaze of the Xie family, King Jingbei withdrew his gaze from Xie Yao.
Then, without even raising his eyelids, his gaze slowly passed Xie Mingan and fell on Xu Susu who was behind the Xie family.
"Meet my dear mother-in-law. Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Prince Jingbei saluted Xu Susu in his wheelchair with a clear voice.
Suddenly, countless eyes turned to Xu Susu.
"That's Madam Xu? She hasn't appeared in public for several years."
"Today's wedding of Prince Jingbei and the second daughter of the Xie family reminds me of the scene of Xu's daughter's wedding more than ten years ago."
"Everyone says that Wenchang Marquis' wife, Xu, is frail and sickly, having lived in the harem for so long that her days are numbered, but she looks fine."
Xu Susu didn't expect that the prince would bypass the Xie family and salute her instead.
Today was her daughter's wedding day. She calmed herself down and didn't show any fear. Instead, she said calmly, "Your Highness is in a serious condition."
Xiao Yizi's eyes were sincere: "From now on, mother-in-law can just call me by my name, no need to call me Prince."
Beside him, Xie Mingan's face had turned ashen.
He, the father-in-law, was standing right in front of the other person, the closest to him, but Xiao Yizi didn't even look at him. Instead, he saluted a woman from the Xu family!
The smiles of the second branch of the Xie family and Old Madam Xie froze. They never thought that even on the day of the wedding, the prince would not take the Xie family seriously.
Xie Mingan's temples were throbbing. Under normal circumstances, he would have had a fit, but when he met Xiao Yizi's cold and deep eyes, he could only suppress his emotions and force a smile again.
Xiao Yizi ignored the gazes of the Xie family and had no intention of stepping into the Xie family.
He looked at Xie Yao again and nodded to her imperceptibly.
Then, Bai Zhu pushed the wheelchair back two steps, and with the help of the guards, he was helped back onto the horse.
"Sister, let me help you get into the wedding sedan."
Xie Yan held Xie Yao's arm and whispered.
“Wow—”
Just as he finished saying this, a panic-stricken and desolate suona sound suddenly came, which made people shudder all over.
"Whose funeral is it that brings them here?"
"Look over there, someone's dead!"
The crowd was surprised to see a dozen men and women in mourning clothes rushing towards them crying.
Leading the group was a woman wearing mourning clothes and with a haggard face.
The middle-aged woman held a newly carved tablet in her hand and rushed to the front of the Bo Mansion: "Xie Yao, you vicious woman!"
She burst into tears and shouted at the top of her lungs, "You and Sun Xinlan fought, but you got my husband thrown into jail. Now he's died in prison for no apparent reason. Return my husband's life to me!"
The men and women following behind her also echoed her and cried to the crowd.
"It's this second daughter of the Wenchang Marquis's mansion who caused such a scene right after returning to the capital. Not content with seizing the household power of the mansion's concubine, she even instigated her uncle to frame our master!"
"Dad, you opened the Ji'an Hall and saved so many people in your life, but in the end you couldn't save yourself. You died tragically!"
Xie Yao's eyes behind the round fan swept over the group of people. They were from the Sun family. The middle-aged woman was Aunt Sun's sister-in-law, and she was very familiar with her.
In the previous life, the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family often went to the uncle's house and flattered Aunt Sun in every possible way.
Once, when she passed by the back garden, she happened to see Aunt Liu taking away the charcoal fire from her room.
After seeing this, she sneered and mocked: "Isn't this the Second Miss Xie who had a secret meeting with Lu Shusheng before they were even engaged? Xinlan is virtuous and kind-hearted, and she even sent servants to take care of your shameful daughter. But I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes."
Having said that, not only did she ignore it, she also asked Liu Ma to bring a pot of smoking charcoal and put it in her room.
Xie Yao was almost choked, but she heard her say, "Don't even think about complaining to Xinlan. My niece Zhizhi is the emperor's concubine. Xinlan is busy preparing Zhizhi's marriage and has no time to care about your business!"
Xie Yao came back to her senses and looked at the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family with cold eyes.
From what she said, Aunt Sun’s elder brother, Sun Hongfang, died in prison?
Xie Yao glanced at Xie Mingan calmly.
Thinking of the closure of Ji'an Hall, which was related to her uncle Xu Zhixing, she glanced at the guests around her and did not see any members of the Xu family.
Xie Yao understood something in her heart and looked more calm.
The Sun family pointed at her and explained to the guests in a flurry of voices.
"My master is the eldest brother of Aunt Sun from the Bofu Mansion. He ran Ji'an Hall and lived an honest life for half his life. But because Aunt Sun offended Xie Yao, he was slandered by her uncle for selling fake medicine and was thrown into jail."
"Xie Yao's uncle, Xu Zhixing, is a notorious profiteer in Beijing!"
"Now he's dead in prison. It must be her who took advantage of her status as a princess to do this!"
"Xie Yao, if you don't give our Sun family an explanation today, we will die here!"
When the guests at the door heard what the Sun family said, they were shocked and their eyes changed when they looked at Xie Yao.
"No wonder I heard that Earl Wenchang also dislikes this daughter. After all, she is a wild girl who came back from the border. She is cruel, ruthless, and rude."
"She's already taking someone's life before she even married the Prince of Jingbei. Now that she's the Princess of Jingbei, won't she be a complete mess?"
Some people were whispering to each other, some were shaking their heads and sighing, and some were looking like they were enjoying a good show.
Xie Yao stood where she was, her hand holding the round fan as steady as a rock.
"Look, father, the Sun family wants my daughter to give them an explanation, otherwise they will crash into the ground and die in front of the uncle's house."
She turned her face indifferently and spoke in a voice that only Xie Mingan and a few others could hear, with a sarcastic smile on her red lips.
"But why haven't they bumped into each other yet? Are they waiting for someone to take charge? Oh, father, these are all Aunt Sun's family, why doesn't she come to greet them?"
Xie Ming'an was already furious at the King of Jingbei's disregard, and when he heard Xie Yao's words, his face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He understood what was happening and stared at the group of troublemakers from the Sun family, cursing Aunt Sun in his heart.
Sun Hongfang was dead, and he knew the Sun family wouldn't let it go. He just didn't expect them to choose today to cause trouble! Sun Xinlan must have been behind this.
Isn't it just letting Xie Zhi go to Anping Marquis's Mansion to be a concubine? Isn't it just that an elder brother died? That stupid woman dared to collude with outsiders and bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion!
"That's nonsense."
The voice of King Jingbei sounded. He rode on his horse and swept over the group of Sun family members with a cold and deep gaze.
He was about to speak when he saw Xie Yao holding the fan sideways, without a trace of panic in her eyes.
There was a playful smile at the corner of her rosy lips, as if she was watching an interesting play.
Xiao Yizi raised his eyebrows, swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and just raised his eyes indifferently, choosing to look towards the horizon, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Xie Mingan had heard King Jingbei talking and wanted to wait for him to calm the situation for him, with a sneer on his face that showed the power of a bully.
However, after waiting for a long time...
The prince didn't say another word.
All eyes around him fell on him.
