Chapter 35 The Prince Summons
Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.
The news of the explosion of the Wei family's ancestral tomb spread like wildfire, and everyone began to maliciously speculate about the marriage between the Wei and Xiao families.
Could it be that Xiao Qinghe and Wei Lingze are incompatible? Otherwise, why does something bad happen to the Wei family every time they set a wedding date?
If this marriage happens, will Wei Lingze be killed by evil?
As soon as the rumor spread, the Yun family immediately sent someone to deliver gifts to the Xiao family.
Old Master Wei's tomb was blown up by gunpowder, and had nothing to do with Xiao Qinghe. The Wei family would not have any prejudice against Xiao Qinghe because of these groundless rumors.
Yun was very considerate, but she couldn't stop the gossip.
Xiao Qingyue was furious: "Who would have nothing better to do than blow up someone else's ancestral grave? I think it was that vixen who did it. She's dying to break up my sister and brother-in-law so she can take over."
Xiao Qinghe flipped through the account book and retorted calmly, "Miss Chunxi has been living at home these days. Before that, she was with Uncle Shen. She doesn't have time to do this. Besides, the Wei family's ancestral tomb is guarded by someone. How can a weak woman like her avoid being seen?"
"Maybe someone is secretly helping her."
Xiao Qingyue blurted out, and Shen Qingyuan's unkind face appeared in their minds at the same time.
No.
This cousin has always been indifferent and righteous. He would never do such a wicked thing.
Xiao Qingyue frowned and said unwillingly, "Anyway, I think this matter must be related to her. She doesn't even like the son of a wealthy businessman. She would rather escape the marriage and stay in Hanjing. She must be looking for an opportunity to get close to my brother-in-law."
Xiao Qinghe paused flipping through the account book, thinking of the scenes of meeting Chunxi these past few times. After a while, he said, "She was the one who accompanied Wei Lang through the most difficult days. It's understandable that Wei Lang wants to give her a status."
Ever since Wei Lingze took Chunxi to various banquets, Xiao Qinghe has been thinking about this question.
She can actually accommodate Chunxi.
Chunxi and Weilang have been together for three years, and they have also been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years. Even if things are no longer the same as before, she still has weight in Weilang's heart.
"Sister, how can you be willing to share a husband with such a person!?"
Xiao Qingyue screamed in shock, her heart aching violently.
Her elder sister was born into a noble family. She was well-read since childhood and her talent and learning were not inferior to that of boys. No matter where she went, she was always the center of attention.
Before the accident, my brother-in-law was the best to my sister. Whenever there was anything delicious or fun, he would have someone send it to my sister first. If anyone dared to say anything bad about my sister, my brother-in-law would be the first to disagree.
Everyone in Hanjing knows that my sister and brother-in-law are a perfect couple made in heaven.
If my brother-in-law hadn't been injured, how could a lowly maid appear by his side?
This kind of person is not even worthy of carrying my sister's shoes!
Xiao Qingyue was so angry that she burst into tears. Xiao Qinghe was a little amused and said, "That's just what I said. Hasn't she already left the Wei family and found a matchmaker to look for a marriage? Even if I don't mind, she may not be willing to be a concubine."
"Why would she be unwilling? Is she trying to turn the tables on Tian Gang and suppress my sister?" Xiao Qingyue retorted with tears in her eyes. Realizing that this was not right, she quickly added, "Brother-in-law had previously promised in front of the family that he would only love my sister in this life and would never take a concubine. Who cares what this vixen thinks?"
Xiao Qingyue's nose was red from crying. Xiao Qinghe wiped her tears and responded softly, "Yes, yes, your brother-in-law only loves me, so can you be a little more polite to Uncle Shen's savior in the future?"
Xiao Qingyue was not polite at all.
After Xiao Qinghe coaxed her back to the courtyard, she became increasingly angry. She immediately called Mo Yun over and said, "Tell the kitchen to buy some croton seeds and put them in that vixen's food."
Doesn’t this vixen love to eat? Then let her eat as much as she wants!
Last time Chunxi caused a disturbance at the old lady's birthday party, Mo Yun was punished with thirty boards. Although the person in charge showed mercy and didn't let the beating be too severe, he still scolded Mo Yun severely afterwards.
A servant must not only obey his master, but also advise him and must not stand by and watch his master do something wrong.
Mo Yun's eyelids twitched when she heard this, and she tried to persuade her: "The old lady said that Miss Chunxi is an honored guest. I'm afraid it's not a good idea for Miss to do this."
Xiao Qingyue curled her lips and said, "What's wrong with that? She was greedy and ate too much and got sick. What does it have to do with anyone else?"
"But Miss Chunxi has been dining at the old lady's Songhe Courtyard these days. If anything happens, the old lady will definitely investigate."
"Then put it in the tea. She can't refuse to drink water, right?"
Xiao Qingyue narrowed her eyes, her patience exhausted. Mo Yun didn't dare to persuade her anymore and retreated.
The subordinates quickly bought some croton seeds and brought them back to Shaoyao. Thinking that she would be able to see Chunxi make a fool of herself the next day, Xiao Qingyue fell asleep happily. After breakfast the next day, she was even more delighted to hear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit Shen Qingyuan.
God is really helping me!
——
The Wei family's ancestral tomb was bombed, and Chunxi was in a very good mood, and her appetite was also greatly increased. She tried her best to accompany Mrs. Xiao to eat, but she accidentally ate too much and had some indigestion.
After tossing and turning all night, Chunxi woke up looking a little haggard.
But in order to please Old Madam Xiao, Chunxi endured the discomfort and ate a tray of crab roe buns, a plate of cold noodles and two steamed buns for breakfast.
Shaoyao followed Chunxi closely, and Chunxi did not dare to show his pain.
However, Shaoyao was very good at reading people's expressions. She brought hot tea and said, "I see that you don't look well, young lady. Please drink some hot tea and take it easy. If you still feel uncomfortable, I will ask the palace doctor to come and see you."
"Thanks."
Chunxi thanked him and took the hot tea and drank it all in one gulp.
The warmth slid down the esophagus into the stomach, and it seemed to really make me feel a lot better.
Chunxi relaxed his brows, and Shaoyao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Just drink it.
Shaoyao found an excuse to take the teapot to destroy the "evidence", while Chunxi performed the Five Animal Exercises in the yard.
This must be because she hasn't moved around much these days. She'll be fine after she helps digest the food.
After just performing two moves, Chunxi's stomach suddenly churned. Thinking that something was wrong, he rushed into the toilet.
"vomit!"
After a burst of vomiting, the contents of the stomach were emptied in an instant.
Finally... I feel comfortable.
Chunxi let out a breath and walked back to the yard with light steps.
Shaoyao just came back with some new tea. Seeing Chunxi coming from the toilet, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Does the effect of this croton take effect so quickly? Will it be fatal?
Chunxi took the teapot, rinsed his mouth, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't stink you, did I?"
It doesn't have much taste.
Shaoyao shook her head. At this moment, a servant came to report: "Miss Chunxi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see her? Why?
Chunxi quickly changed her clothes and went to see the prince. As soon as she entered the room, she heard Xiao Qingyue's voice: "Thanks to this Miss Chunxi for her quick thinking and saving Uncle Shen. His Royal Highness the Prince must reward her well."
Chunxi: “…”? ? ?
Is Miss Xiao Er...taking credit for her?
