Chapter 65 Do you dare to make a bet?

"Sister Wanyin has always treated you as her own sister, how could she harm you?" Xie Minglang didn't quite believe it.

Xie Zhuoning twitched the corner of his mouth coldly.

At the banquet last night, everyone saw it clearly.

Xichu's "Hundred Battles Dance" has an absolute advantage, and it is extremely difficult to defeat them.

If anyone rushes up to compete without knowing his own abilities and loses, it will only make Daye more embarrassed and anger the emperor for no reason.

When the emperor is angry, life and death are unpredictable.

"But she stood up and asked me to perform on stage without any preparation. Tell me, if she didn't mean to hurt me, then what else could she do?"

Xie Zhuoning's voice became colder and colder as he spoke, and his disloyal younger brother also lost his good expression.

Xie Minglang was shocked and couldn't believe it. "But she said...said..."

"What?"

"She said she knew you had been prepared, but was too embarrassed to do so, so she took the initiative to ask for you to be in the spotlight."

Hearing this, Xie Zhuoning wanted to laugh.

When it came into her mouth, I was able to get the reward, and I had to thank her for standing up for me.

She is Xie Wanyin, whose facial features are so big that a horse can run on them. What a big face she has!

"Now that things have come to this, I will not hide the truth from you. The dance was taught to me by the eldest daughter of the Song family, and she also tailored the dance costume for me. If it weren't for her planning for me, the imperial edict that Xie Mansion received today would not be a reward, but a punishment!"

Even if she wants to thank someone, she should thank Song Yuqiu.

Not cutting Xie Wanyin into pieces was already a favor to her because her last name was Xie!

Xie Minglang couldn't understand, "Why would Sister Wanyin want to harm you for no reason?"

"Because I am the Crown Princess, she wants to take my place."

"Because I sent her mother to the family temple, she was resentful."

"Because I forced the eldest wife to return my things, she was not happy about it."

"Because she hates me, is jealous of me, and is afraid of me...are these reasons enough?"

Xie Zhuoning also felt aggrieved, so he just poured out all his experiences like pouring beans.

Liang praised her and her brother so much that she wanted her to escape the marriage and marry into the Liang family with a generous dowry.

Xie Wanyin is ambitious and wants to marry the prince. He has always treated her as an imaginary enemy since she was a child.

The family has a good reputation outside, but outside, they are like leeches to the enemy, who want to suck their family dry.

My mother died young, my father is far away in the frontier, and my younger brother is ignorant of the world...

What should she do?

What can she do?

"I... I don't know this..." Xie Minglang grabbed the corner of his clothes helplessly, his eyes slightly red, "Sister, I didn't know you suffered so much..."

Seeing his brother looking like a child who had done something wrong, Xie Zhuoning couldn't bear it anymore.

She held him in her arms and sighed softly, "Minglang, you take people's hearts too lightly."

In order to let his younger brother study well, he never told him what he had gone through.

On the contrary, Xie Wanyin would cry to Xie Minglang whenever she suffered a little injustice, which made him feel sympathetic and he would stand up for her regardless of anything.

The little boy has not experienced the dangers of the world.

When one is young and hot-blooded, things are either black or white.

When you see someone crying, you think they are weak.

He thought he was right and on the side of morality and justice.

In the previous life, I protected him too well, which led to him being deceived by the so-called "one's own people"!

“But they are all our family!”

Xie Minglang seemed to find it difficult to accept for a while that his closest relatives had been plotting against him.

Especially Xie Wanyin, he had always regarded her as his second sister since he was a child.

"My second sister is very kind. Maybe... maybe she was bewitched by a ghost and took the wrong path..."

Xie Zhuoning smiled instantly.

It seems that I talked for a long time but he didn't listen to a word I said.

It seems that if he doesn't eat a little, he will never grow wiser.

"Would you like to make a bet with me?"

Xie Zhuoning asked Fuling to fetch a box and hand it to Xie Minglang.

"Here are the deeds for 20 shops and 10 farms. I don't ask how much you can earn, as long as you can hold on for three months without losing money. I will give you all the assets in my family without asking for a cent. Vice versa."

"The condition is that no one can know about the bet. Just tell others that we had a quarrel and this is your share of the family property."

"What do you think? Do you dare to bet?"

Xie Minglang sighed, "Sister, what belongs to you is yours. Even if I win, I will never take it from you."

Xie Zhuoning smiled softly, "How can you be sure that you will win?"

"I don't hang out in the garden or gamble in the casino, so how could I lose all my money in just three months?"

"In that case, why not take a gamble? If you win, I am willing to put aside our past grudges and reconcile with Xie Wanyin."

"This..." Xie Minglang obviously hesitated.

On second thought, even if I won all the family property, I could just prepare some dowry for my sister.

If we could take this opportunity to repair the relationship between the two of us, wouldn't that be a good thing?

"Okay! I bet!"

Xie Zhuoning immediately had someone grind ink and write a document, and after signing and sealing it, he handed it to Xie Minglang.

Xie Minglang was a little unhappy, "Sister, is it necessary for us to be like this?"

"It's necessary." Xie Zhuoning said, "I trust you a lot, but I'm afraid you don't trust me."

"How could I not trust you!" Xie Minglang quickly retorted.

Xie Zhuoning listened, but just smiled nonchalantly, "Since you trust me, why would you come to me and accuse me just because of a few provocations from others?"

"I..." Xie Minglang's throat got stuck and he couldn't speak.

He lowered his head and picked up the brush to sign.

After signing, Xie Zhuoning asked Banxia to see the guest off.

When Xie Minglang heard the words "see you off", he felt extremely depressed for some reason.

This is clearly my home, so how come I am a guest here?

Fuling saw that the tea in Xie Zhuoning's cup had gone cold, so she quickly replaced it for her. "The young master is still young, isn't the young lady a little too strict with him?"

Sighing, Xie Zhuoning said, "He is not young anymore. When Xiao Jinxuan was his age, he could have taken the head of an enemy from among thousands of troops!"

And he is still like a child, unable to distinguish between good and bad.

Fuling smiled, "The eldest lady seems to have mentioned Prince Xuan quite often recently."

"Did I mention him?" Xie Zhuoning was stunned for a moment, then after thinking about it, he realized that he had indeed mentioned him.

And she mentioned it so smoothly, as if the person would immediately appear in her mind as soon as she thought of it.

She patted her face quickly, "This is a bad habit."

She had promised Ye Wuque to stay away from that guy.

In the painted boat.

The dancers in the music hall are dancing gracefully, bringing with them gusts of fragrant breeze.

The fragrance entered Xiao Jinxuan's nose, and it smelled somewhat like the fragrance on Xie Zhuoning.

But if you smell it carefully, it is different.

The fragrance on her body was like osmanthus mixed with gardenia, lingering and lingering, unlike the fragrance blowing on the face, which was so strong that it made people dizzy.

He frowned subconsciously and pretended not to notice the dancer's seductive eyes.

Ye Wuque, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him and burst into laughter. "It is said that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is not interested in women. Today, I finally got to see it."
