She also recalled that immediately after Aunt Lian's death, Madam Xiao went to cause trouble for her daughter, only to be outmaneuvered by Aunt Lian's daughter.
The fact that an outsider like her could say these things was enough to shock the Xiao family.
What she wanted was never to be taken in by being subservient and humiliated; what she wanted was for the Xiao family to treat her like an honored guest.
In this way, she could use the Xiao family to achieve her own goals.
When Madam Xiao saw that she was about to leave, she became anxious and hurriedly grabbed her, saying, "You child, I never knew you were so impatient."
She pulled Xie Jinyao back into the house. "Now that you've come to our mansion, feel free to stay in my courtyard. Tell everyone that you're my cousin's child, and from now on, you can call me Auntie. How about that?"
The cousin of the Prime Minister's family!
Can!
Xie Jinyao then sat down again.
Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Lian's daughter, her half-sister, because Aunt Lian was favored, always suppressed her, her legitimate sister.
Upon learning of Aunt Lian's death, Madam Xiao's first reaction was indeed to seek revenge on her half-sister. This was a thought that had just begun, and Xie Jinyao found out about it.
She had no choice but to trust Xie Jinyao, and given the leverage she had over the matter concerning the Shen family's daughter, she had to keep Xie Jinyao by her side.
Otherwise, if Xie Jinyao were to join the Shen family and help them deal with her, wouldn't she be doomed?
"Jinyao, tell your aunt, how do you know that the adopted son was prepared by the Prime Minister for Li Chenghe?"
What Mrs. Xiao cared about most was her son's future.
Xie Jinyao smiled and said, "There are some things that Aunt doesn't need to pry into. Aunt just needs to know that I rely on you to survive now, so I will help you in everything. If Aunt is well, then I am well."
"It's good for Cousin Chenghai too. The Prince of Dingyuan's ten-year-old grandson sneaked into the capital and got separated from his servants on the way. He'll probably be sold into a brothel by traffickers outside the city in the next few days. Cousin, you should go out and walk around the city gates more often these days."
The Prince of Dingyuan is the only prince of a different surname in Dayuan. For generations, he has guarded the border between Dayuan and Xiyue Kingdom, holding a large army and enjoying great prestige in front of the emperor. His children and grandchildren have all passed away for various reasons, and now only the two of them remain in the entire Prince of Dingyuan's mansion.
The Prince of Dingyuan cherishes his grandson like the apple of his eye. If Li Chenghai can save his grandson, he will naturally receive this favor from the Prince of Dingyuan.
Xiao was about to ask someone to call Li Chenghai over when she heard Xie Jinyao say, "Aunt, please tell me about the Prince of Liang's rebellion."
