Hearing the hurried and panicked footsteps behind her, Shen Xixi's crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly. She raised her white hands slightly, inserted the door bolt, and leaned against the door.

"Xi'er, please listen to my explanation. My mother rewarded me with a few glasses of wine today. My husband drank too much and mistook Cuiqiao for you. My husband didn't do it on purpose..."

After pushing it several times and seeing that the door was not moving at all, Fu Youxing felt anxious and patted the door to explain.

"Xing Zhi, I know it's not easy to understand you. Tonight... I'm a little tired. Let's have a good talk tomorrow, okay? Please." Inside the door, Shen Xixi stood still, her voice hoarse and choked with sobs.

Outside the door, he saw Xi'er's frail shadow reflected on the door. Hearing her voice holding back tears, Fu Youxing's heart ached slightly. Today was supposed to be their bridal chamber.

"Xi'er, you are in good health. Take care of yourself. As a husband...the only thing I love most in my heart is you. You have a good rest. I...will come to see you tomorrow."

After taking a deep look at Shen Xixi's figure, Fu Youxing sighed, turned around and left helplessly.

After taking Fu Youxing away, Shen Xixi relaxed and went to the table to pour a cup of herbal tea and drink it. Then she asked Yinshuang to bring hot water and soaked a hot towel to apply on her face.

After crying for too long, my eyes and cheeks felt a little hot and tight.

After washing, Shen Xixi looked through the screen window at Cui Qiao, who was still kneeling on the spot, with a cold look in her eyes.

I wonder if you will regret becoming his woman this time?

Cold hands were placed on her flat belly. The coldness in Shen Xixi's eyes became more and more intense. The painful memories of Cui Qiao losing her child came into view, and her green jade fingers slowly clenched into fists.

……

In the attic at the top of Xiyuan, it was pitch dark, the vermilion screens were wide open, and the evening breeze blew the red gauze curtains on the red sandalwood bed.

"Master, go and kill her."

The woman in night clothes knelt at Ji Wuhen's feet, with her right hand on her chest and her head close to her chest.

"It doesn't matter, she... I'll handle it myself."

Lying on her side on the bed, Ji Wuhen's thin lips lightly opened as her slender jade-like fingers gently tapped the bed lintel.

Thinking of the alert look in the cat's eyes just now, a smile bloomed on his lips.

"Yes, Protector Feng sent news that the higher-ups are interested in those treasures."

Thinking of the news she received that night, the woman in black took out a note from her arms and presented it with both hands.

"Ha~ It seems that the old guy is at the end of his rope."

After unfolding the note and taking a glance at it, Ji Wuhen snorted coldly, and a cluster of flames ignited in his palm, burning the note on his fingertips.

"Subordinates retire."

Seeing that the beard was drowsy, the woman in black stepped back.

"What's going on in front of you, so noisy?"

Ji Wuhen frowned when he heard the shouts coming from time to time.

"Back to Master, Fu Youxing got drunk and slept with the third young master's maid in her room."

"Ha~, trash."

With a sneer, Ji Wuhen closed his eyes, waved his crimson sleeves, and the gauze curtain beside him was mercilessly swept down.

Early the next morning, as soon as Shen Xixi got up, Yin Shuang trotted over and said that the maid from Rongan Hall had just arrived and asked the third grandmother to come over.

Standing at the door and looking at Cui Qiao who was still kneeling in the bedroom, Shen Xixi lowered her eyelashes and nodded slightly.

"Cuiqiao, get up and go to the main courtyard with me."

After changing her clothes, Shen Xixi walked to the door of the bedroom and motioned to Yinshuang beside her to help Cuiqiao stand up.

"Thank you, Third Grandma."

Hearing that she was getting up, Cui Qiao kowtowed to Shen Xixi and stood up weakly, leaning on Yinshuang. '

"Let's go."

Seeing Cuiqiao's exhausted and weak appearance, Shen Xixi's face turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, but without saying much, she turned and walked towards Rong'an Hall.

Rongan Hall was very lively, and the room was packed with people early. Aunt Qing sat at the edge, looking at the door from time to time.

"Bitch! Xiao Lang Hoozi, how dare she!" Next to Li Wanrou, the little girl in orange clothes had red cheeks, rapid breathing, and eyes full of anger.

"Shut up, you are a girl, how can you say these things?"

Li Wanrou, who was sitting in the main seat, glared at Fu Mingzhu, which was full of warning.

"Xi'er got stuck because of something and came late. Mother and all the aunts are well."

At this time, Shen Xixi walked in with Cui Qiao and bowed to everyone, attracting everyone's attention.

Standing in the center was Shen Xixi, wearing a light blue dress, without any makeup on her face, her long black hair tied up with a plain white jade hairpin, her brows picturesque, and her lips smooth and smooth.

She is truly a stunning beauty.

On the other hand, Cui Qiao next to her was wearing a wrinkled pink dress with torn corners. The makeup on her face had been smeared, and her eyes were full of black and blue. She looked like a female ghost in a painting book.

"You bitch!"

Seeing Cui Qiao's over-indulged look, Fu Mingzhu couldn't sit still and slapped her in front of her. His long nails left three bloody marks on her face.

"This slave realizes his mistake. Fifth Miss will atone for his sins. Madam, please spare this slave..."

Her head was buzzing after being beaten. Cuiqiao stretched out her hand to protect her face and knelt on the ground, kowtowing.

"Okay, what will happen if Liu Ma holds her back?"

Seeing Fu Mingzhu's excitement, Li Wanrou's eyes darkened, and she asked someone to pull her back to sit beside her. Then she looked at Shen Xixi, "Xi'er, what do you think about this matter? How are you going to deal with this girl?"

Glancing sideways at Cui Qiao, who was kneeling next to her, and looking at the expectation in her eyes, Shen Xixi slowly said: "Mother, it stands to reason that in a family like ours, it is appropriate for the husband to have several beauties by his side, and so does Xi'er. I am very happy to have sisters to accompany me, but... Cuiqiao sneaked into the house without telling her master to seduce the men. Such a woman..."

Although the words were not finished, the meaning had been expressed clearly, and Shen Xixi said no more.

"Third Grandma, what are you talking about? Didn't you ask me to go? It was you who changed the clothes for me."

Upon hearing Shen Xixi's words, Cui Qiao froze on the spot, her eyes full of disbelief, and her fingers tightly held Shen Xixi's sleeves.

"Oh, Cuiqiao, what are you talking about? When did I give you clothes? I was admiring lotus flowers last night, why are you confused?"

In response to Cui Qiao's rebuttal, Shen Xixi showed an incredulous expression, her palm-sized face was very hurt, and her body was shaky.

"Yes, you said that the third sister-in-law gave you clothes, do you have any evidence? The third brother asked the embroiderer to make these clothes. They are priceless. How could the third sister-in-law give them to you, a bitch!"

Fu Mingzhu on the side sneered, his eyes fixed on Cuiqiao on the ground, radiating cold light.

"Slave..." Cuiqiao trembled all over when she met the fifth lady's cannibalistic gaze, and for a moment she didn't know how to defend herself.

Yes, when the madam gave her something, no one was around, so she didn't have any evidence.

"Cuiqiao, I know that you have liked Third Master for many years. I originally planned to ask Third Master after a while and take you into your room, but you should never do such a thing in my room."

Taking out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, Shen Xixi was "heartbroken" and shook her head.

"Okay, third daughter-in-law, please rest first and don't get so angry. You have been wronged in this matter. Mother knows it, but this girl has been serving Xingzhi for many years and has a physical relationship with Xingzhi. You can't do it easily. Kill."

Seeing that Shen Xixi couldn't support herself, Li Wanrou sent someone to help her to the side and sat down. She looked at Cui Qiao kneeling in the center, disappointment flashing in her eyes.

"What mother said is that our Marquis Mansion has always been merciful, and Cuiqiao is the daughter-in-law whom mother rewarded. Xi'er really can't bear her mother's heart."

"Okay, I know this matter well. My third daughter-in-law, you are not in good health. Please rest well. Leave this girl to me. I promise to give you an explanation."

Seeing Shen Xixi mentioning that she was the one who gave him the person, Li Wanrou stopped her. She looked at Mama Liu aside and asked her to send the third grandma out.
