She even whispered to Xie Jinyao, thinking she was being clever, "Jinyao, if you're being threatened, blink three times in a row."
She would recognize Xie Jinyao even if she were reduced to ashes, her sister with whom she grew up. How could she possibly mistake her?
Similarly, in her memory, Xie Jinyao was arrogant and proud, always comparing herself to the former and future Crown Princess Ye Wantang, and wishing she could marry the most powerful man in the world. How could she be willing to be the wife of a dead man?
But she forgot that Xie Jinyao was no longer the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion. She had experienced horse-whipping at the horse farm, the slave quarters, and had regained her memories of her past life. Now, all she wanted was power.
Mrs. Luo closed her eyes.
Well, he may be stupid, but at least he's not a bad person. I'll teach him slowly later.
On the other side, after learning about what happened at the gate, Li Heng's brow twitched. He then instructed someone to notify Madam Xiao to go to the gate to verify Xie Jinyao's identity and quell the disturbance.
Xiao didn't want to go, but she had no choice but to go.
When she arrived, Luo Lanqiao was pulling Xie Jinyao along in a very dejected manner, "Why, Jinyao? You're still so young, are you going to be a widow for the rest of your life?"
You know best how difficult it is to be a widow.
You used to look down on Ye Zhen, how could you be willing to become a widow like her?
Xie Jinyao wanted to pull her hand back, but Luo Lanqiao was genuinely thinking of her. Although it was something she didn't really need, she was being too harsh by turning her back on Luo Lanqiao in public, which would inevitably make her look ungrateful.
Fortunately, the Xiao family arrived in time.
After greeting everyone with a smile, Madam Xiao pried open Luo Lanqiao's hand and said, "Miss Luo, it is her good fortune that the person you care about has received your true affection."
But my Mingyue is not the person you know. She is from the Ming family in the Southwest. After her mother died, her father remarried. I saw that she was having a hard time under her stepmother, so I brought her to the capital.”
When Xie Jinyao hooked up with Li Heng, Li Heng had already arranged her background in advance.
Although it couldn't withstand a thorough investigation, who would bother to dwell on Xie Jinyao's background? After all, she wasn't a serious criminal. What good would revealing her identity do besides bringing a few sarcastic remarks to the Prime Minister's residence and Xie Jinyao?
Cui Yihuan clearly understood this as well, and she chimed in, "Lan Qiao, when we first met, I also mistook Miss Ming for Miss Xie, but we were definitely wrong."
Today is a joyous occasion for the Prime Minister's residence. Please let go of them; don't spoil their happy occasion.
Xie Jinyao has now been officially recognized as Li Chenghai's legal wife. Even if her identity is exposed, people will only dare to criticize her behind her back. If Xie Jinyao is shameless enough, it won't have much of an impact on her. She can still live well by relying on the power of the Prime Minister's mansion.
How could Liu's daughter, who had bullied her son, deserve to live a good life? She had to let Xie Jinyao continue to be arrogant before she could send her to hell.
Xiao Shi was unaware of Cui Yihuan's thoughts, but since someone had come to her rescue, she quickly said, "Yes, there are still guests blocking the way behind us. Let's go inside and have a chat."
Cui Yihuan was already a proper Marquis's wife, and Madam Luo had repeatedly reminded Luo Lanqiao to respect her. Seeing Cui Yihuan speak, Luo Lanqiao could only reluctantly let go of her hand.
Thinking to herself, she needed to ask her brother to send someone to the Ming family in the southwest to investigate.
With the commotion finally over, Xie Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief and followed them into the mansion. No longer daring to be high-profile, she took advantage of the moment when no one was looking to find Li Heng.
After dealing with some important male guests, Li Heng returned to his study to rest for a while. When he saw her arrive, he frowned.
Although he didn't say anything, his displeasure was undisguised. Xie Jinyao could ignore everyone else right now, but she had to appease Li Heng.
With her eyes lowered and lips bitten, she looked up again with a delicate, tearful expression. "Mingyue is too stupid. She has caused trouble for the Prime Minister again. But Mingyue just wanted Helian Qing and the Prime Minister to get closer. I am so useless."
Li Heng understood her thoughts, but at his age, he had no interest in training women. What he valued was the child in Xie Jinyao's womb. "Be more careful in the future."
Xie Jinyao knew that he would not punish her. She knelt and crawled to Li Xiangguo, looked up at him with admiration and said, "Mingyue didn't learn any skills before, but today's events have made Mingyue realize her shortcomings."
From now on, Mingyue will focus on bearing your children in the inner quarters. But if she only has one child, Mingyue will feel guilty for the Prime Minister's leniency towards her.
Mingyue planned that once the child was born, she would tell everyone that it was twins, one of whom was weak and needed to be pampered and not to be seen by others.
"Once Mingyue has recovered, she can conceive again. A year later, the second child will be born. We can secretly raise them for a year or two, and then take the child out when they're only a year apart. If we say it's twins, no one will suspect anything."
Xie Jinyao touched her belly and made grand promises to Li Heng, saying, "Mingyue has heard that there are many folk remedies for conceiving a child. Mingyue will try them all when the time comes."
She felt that Li Heng's biggest concern right now was having offspring.
Li Heng certainly didn't mind having many children. Xie Jinyao's idea was a bit absurd, but she was so eager to have children for him, so how could he refuse?
He then pinched her chin and lifted it up, saying, "You have this intention, and it's not in vain that I've cared for you. However, that's all for the future. Right now, your most important thing is to protect your belly."
Xie Jinyao nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. Your child is more important than Mingyue's life. Mingyue will take good care of him."
This was the foundation upon which she could secure her place with Li Heng; how could she allow it to be lost?
Li Heng knew how much Xie Jinyao valued this child, so he didn't say anything more.
But he didn't know that Xie Jinyao held the banquet today with malicious intent, which would eventually backfire on her.
