County Lady Yunying didn't expect that the first sentence she heard when she came in was Xia Tian telling her not to bother her in the future.
Suddenly, he got angry again, "Humph, are you afraid that I will cause trouble for you?"
Xia Tian looked at County Master Yunying with an indescribable expression.
It seems that the county lady is a very generous person, and what happened yesterday didn't seem to have any impact on her.
Look, he's still jumping around and starting to curse.
Princess Ruihua quickly scolded, "Yun'er, how can you talk like that?"
"Hmph, why can't I say anything about her? She's already making up stories about people behind their backs, and she's still afraid of me saying anything?" County Master Yunying sat down on the chair angrily.
Princess Ruihua was helpless. "Please forgive Madam Shen, this girl has been spoiled by me. But don't worry, I will definitely control her in the future. I hope Madam Shen will not mind it."
"It's okay, Princess, you're welcome."
"Hmph, so hypocritical." Yun Ying snorted disdainfully.
Princess Ruihua couldn't stand it anymore. How could this girl not be able to tell good from evil?
He frowned and said, "Yun'er, Madam Shen helped you yesterday. It's fine if you don't thank me, but how can you talk like this?"
"Who asked her to pretend to be kind?" Yunying muttered.
"How can you be so ungrateful, kid?"
"Isn't it? If she hadn't snatched away Master Shen, would I have chased after him? If I hadn't chased after him, would Bishui have walked into the wrong yard?" Yun Ying said unconvinced.
Xia Tian was speechless. What kind of logic is this?
According to what she said, if she didn’t save Shen Nian, would she still be able to see him?
Princess Ruihua also had a headache. This girl was more unreasonable than she thought.
"Go back to your yard and stop irritating me here."
"I'll go back then." County Master Yunying said angrily.
Before leaving, he turned to Xia Tian and said, "What I said just now is true, but even though I hate you very much, I can't guarantee that I won't cause you trouble in the future.
However, I, Yunying, am a man of my word. The help you gave me yesterday should be considered as compensation for the harm you did to me in the past. From now on, if you provoke me again, you will still suffer the consequences."
After saying that, he walked away with his head held high.
Princess Ruihua looked at Xia Tian a little embarrassedly, "Madam Shen, please change the conditions!"
Xia Tian was stunned for a moment before he understood what Princess Ruihua was referring to. He couldn't help but smile, "Princess, there's no need to be like this. Didn't County Master Yunying say that if you don't provoke her in the future, you'll be fine."
As for whether County Master Yunying would cause trouble in the future, that was not her concern now. Although she was afraid of trouble, she would still actively resolve it if trouble came her way.
It would be better if Princess Ruihua could be more helpful and find someone for her to marry as soon as possible.
Xia Tian was thinking in his heart that Princess Ruihua remembered something else to ask.
"Who was that man yesterday?"
Princess Ruihua was asking about the man who fell to the ground in County Master Yunying's room yesterday.
Xia Tian replied truthfully, "It was Xu Jun, the grandson of Duke Weiyuan."
There is no need to hide this matter. What happened in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion yesterday was seen by so many ladies. Princess Ruihua will probably know about it soon.
Seeing Princess Ruihua's face darken, Xia Tian added, "Princess, this is not the fault of Mr. Xu. Someone was trying to frame someone yesterday, and Mr. Xu was also tricked."
Xia Tian said a few good words for him because he was so helpful during the interrogation by Marquis Wu'an yesterday. As for what Princess Ruihua thought or did, she had no control over it.
"Who wants to harm people?" She thought the man was drunk and walked into the wrong room yesterday.
After all, Bishui said that when they went in, the man was lying on the ground and smelled strongly of alcohol.
"It was a servant from the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion." Xia Tian paused, then said, "The person she wanted to harm was actually me."
Although this matter is a family scandal of the Marquis of Wu'an, so many ladies knew about it yesterday. As long as Princess Ruihua sends someone to inquire, they will soon find out that County Lady Yunying was implicated yesterday.
Princess Ruihua's previous unhappiness was somewhat dispelled by Xia Tian's frankness. She was shocked but also a little curious, "Why did they frame you?"
"Maybe you don't like me?" Xia Tian answered uncertainly. She couldn't tell Princess Ruihua the reason given by Aunt Qi!
Otherwise, Princess Ruihua wouldn't understand the real situation and might actually think that she was disrespectful to her elders, and the goodwill she had worked so hard to gain would be gone.
Don't take it out on her because of this.
Princess Ruihua saw that Xia Tian didn't want to talk, so she didn't press him any further. The shady tactics in the backyard sometimes really had no reason.
She had originally wanted to ask about the man's identity. If his identity was not obvious, she would deal with him in order to prevent future troubles. But now it seems that she can't do it.
But I still have to test it out. I wonder if he recognized Yunying yesterday.
Princess Ruihua was thinking about something and didn't say anything for a long time, so Xia Tian just waited quietly.
All the questions that needed to be asked were answered, and it was almost noon. Princess Ruihua ordered the maid to set the table and asked Xia Tian to stay until lunch before leaving.
When Xia Tian left the princess's mansion, he saw Muchen waiting at the door in a carriage. He declined the kindness of the princess's mansion and got on Muchen's carriage directly.
Unexpectedly, when I got in the car, I found Shen Nian was there too.
"Brother Shen, aren't you on duty?"
"I'll take a break at noon and then come pick you up."
Shen Nian took a cushion for Xia Tian to sit on.
He hadn't originally planned to come, thinking that if the person was sent back, Muchen would definitely come to tell him. As a result, after waiting for a long time, Muchen didn't come. He felt a little worried, so he came to find someone.
Xia Tian smiled slightly and took the initiative to hold Shen Nian’s hand, “Brother Shen, are you worried about me?”
“Yeah.” Shen Nian nodded.
"Hehe, that's great." Xia Tian leaned closer to Shen Nian.
“Silly girl.” Shen Nian raised the corner of his mouth and raised his other hand to pat Xia Tian’s head gently.
"Princess Ruihua invited me to have lunch, so I came out late." Xia Tian took the initiative to explain.
"The princess didn't give you any trouble, did she?"
"No, she just asked me about what happened with County Master Yunying yesterday." Xia Tian finished speaking, then remembered that Princess Ruihua had also asked Xu Jun, "Brother Shen, Princess Ruihua also asked Xu Jun, is she planning something?"
Shen Nian thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. Princess Ruihua won't do anything to him."
Even if they wanted to teach him a lesson, it was none of their business.
Besides, with that kind of flirtatious nature, he will get beaten sooner or later!
Xia Tian was just asking. Xu Jun was not a good person anyway. Maybe he would become a better person after being taught a lesson by Princess Ruihua.
The two of them didn't talk about it anymore.
Shen Nian hadn't eaten lunch yet, so Xia Tian accompanied Shen Nian to eat something before returning to the Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as she entered the door, she was stopped by Miss Mujin, who said that the old lady was looking for her.
Xia Tian had no choice but to follow Mu Jin to the old lady's yard to report back.
