Because the old prince and the old lady both thought their idea was great, Ruan was particularly happy and even had an extra bowl of rice for dinner.

Hongmei stood by, expressionless, but sneered in her heart. The masters of the Lu family were really inhuman, and they actually wanted to ruin the princess's innocent reputation.

Not to mention that Xia He has always been by the princess' side, the princess herself is also a master. Now she has a whip bestowed by the emperor, and she can whip anyone she wants.

After serving Ruan to bed, Hongmei quietly came to Feiyu Pavilion and revealed the news to Chunxiao, "The princess has done me a favor, I can't just watch them frame the princess."

Hongmei and her younger brother were both sold into the palace by human traffickers when they were in their teens. She worked as a maid in the princess's courtyard, and her younger brother worked as a small steward in the outer courtyard.

A year ago, Hongmei's younger brother was suspected of being infected with an epidemic. The old lady and the princess wanted to burn him alive. She knelt in front of the princess and begged for a long time, but it was useless.

It was Xiao Yunxi who stepped forward to stop him and asked a doctor to treat the disease.

Although the doctor finally confirmed that it was just a common cold, the princess and the old lady still insisted on kicking him out of the house. Xiao Yunxi had no choice but to send Hongmei's brother to a farm in the countryside and gave him one hundred taels of silver.

After he recovered from his illness, he was made a manager on the farm, which was quite comfortable for him.

Hongmei has always kept this kindness in her heart.

When Xiao Yunxi heard the news, she found it a little funny. She had always thought that her mother-in-law was a fool, but she never expected that she would become a sensation.

The old lady pretended to be sick and couldn't do anything to me. Lu Jingting couldn't control me, so she tried every means to destroy her reputation?

A bunch of filthy bastards!

She had never understood why Lu Jingting, a seemingly normal man, could be provoked by a woman like Lin Wan'er to jump up and down and do extremely absurd things.

Now it seems that this is just like a rabbit's tail - following the root!

If the mother is mentally ill, the son will be mentally ill too. If the grandparents are crazy, the grandson will be crazy too!

"My Lady, do you want me to destroy that 'Ni Feng' now?"

Xia He clenched her fists, ready to rush out at the princess's command.

Xiao Yunxi was stunned when she heard "Ni Feng". This person had appeared inexplicably in her previous life, saying that he was her old lover, and even had a small underwear in his hand. He could even tell the location and shape of the birthmark on her body...

At that time, not only was she helpless and embarrassed, she went from being the most beautiful woman in the Dali period to being the most promiscuous woman in the Dali period, and she also implicated several of her sisters-in-law and sisters in her natal family...

Xiao Yunxi took a deep breath, her expression indifferent, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Don't be impatient, wait until he comes to your door, you can chop off his hands or stamp on his feet, but there is only one thing, leave him alive."

"Why not just kill him?" Xia He was puzzled.

Xiao Yunxi was not polite and said bluntly: "Ni Feng has a good appearance. Sell him to a prostitute's house and give the money to the old lady. Then I can say that I am honoring her and buy her whatever wine she likes."

Xia He smiled, "Then the old lady might be really sick."

It would be best if this were the case. If he died, the Prince of Zhennan could bring his other three sons back to Beijing to observe mourning!

Xiao Yunxi chuckled twice, "Spread it out, and say that I'm going to Ciyun Temple to copy Buddhist scriptures for the Queen Mother."

"Yes."

In the evening, when Xiao Yunxi was about to have dinner, she heard the little maid come saying that Nanny Li had arrived.

She raised an eyebrow, "Let her in."

"Princess," Nanny Li smiled flatteringly, "My old lady heard that you were going to Ciyun Temple to pray for the Queen Mother, and she also wanted to go with you."

"Oh? Isn't the old lady very ill and about to pass away?"

Xiao Yunxi's eyes widened in surprise, "Could it be a last gasp?!"

Nanny Li was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. She could only laugh and say, "I'm afraid you heard it wrong. The old lady just had a headache and was in so much pain that she couldn't get out of bed."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yunxi smiled, "That's what I said, how can a dying person eat two trays of buns in one meal!

Now that the old lady is fine, let's go together.

But the temple is a quiet place, and people abstain from meat and fish. The life is very austere. Can the old lady bear it?"

Matron Li nodded vigorously, "The old lady said that if we pray for the Queen Mother, we must be sincere!"

"Well, Madam, go back and tell the old lady that everything has been packed for tonight, and we will set out together after breakfast tomorrow."

"Yes!"

When Nanny Li left, Chun Xiao pouted, "What a bunch of rotten-hearted dogs, they actually wanted to frame you in the temple!"

"Buddhism is a pure place. They are not afraid of retribution, and I am even less afraid," Xiao Yunxi ate a piece of steamed pork with rice flour comfortably. "After all, I burn incense in bundles. The Bodhisattva will definitely bless me."

Early the next morning, the old lady, Ruan and Xiao Yunxi each took a carriage and went to Ciyu Temple.

As soon as I arrived at the temple's guesthouse, I met the wife of the Minister of Rites, the Queen's sister, and the third aunt of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, Xue Shu.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. The princess looks better now. She is more beautiful than flowers."

"Mrs. Zhu has a good eye. I have been recuperating for a while recently, and my complexion has indeed improved a lot," Xiao Yunxi laughed sweetly. "Unlike Madam Zhu, who is not even thirty years old, she looks like she is in her forties or fifties. It is obvious that she has worked hard!"

"Oh, the princess is still as sharp-tongued as ever!"

"Mrs. Zhu, you are too kind. Ever since I had dinner at the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion last time, my teeth have really gotten better and better. I feel like I can bite a person's skull into pieces!"

I haven’t yet settled the score for the plot I got against me at the Marquis Cheng’en’s mansion.

Since Xue Shu came to me herself, I’ll make her mad enough to vomit blood first!

"I heard that Lord Zhu's new concubine is about to give birth? The imperial physician had previously asserted that the baby was a boy. Lord Zhu was nearly 40 years old when he had such a precious son, so he must have been extremely careful," Xiao Yunxi smiled and continued, "Did they specially send Madam Zhu to the temple to pray for the eldest son?"

Xue Shu sneered, knowing that she could not win the argument with Xiao Yunxi, so she turned around and chatted with the old lady and the princess for a few words before leaving.

"My Lady," the old lady said dissatisfiedly, "Madam Zhu is the Queen's biological sister, and she is also your elder. How can you speak so sarcastically? It is really inappropriate."

Xiao Yunxi curled her lips slightly, "She is the Queen's biological sister, and I am the Emperor's biological niece, who is more noble?

Besides, if old age is considered an elder, then the beggar women at the temple gate just now are older than you.

Since you are so well-mannered and know etiquette, why don't you kowtow to them and offer them the silver with both hands?"

After saying that, without caring about the old lady's livid face, Xiao Yunxi turned around and left.

Since they have already fallen out, there is naturally no need to pretend to be a harmonious family.

If you still greet someone who wants to harm you with a smile, isn't that just a scumbag? !

Besides, this Xue Shu didn't come earlier or later, but appeared in Ciyu Temple at the same time as them. If there is no conspiracy, her surname is not Xiao!

"Madam, look at Xiao Yunxi, she is becoming more and more arrogant now!"

Ruan spat in hatred, "After tonight, she will no longer have the face to stand and talk to us. She will have to kneel and look at our faces every day!"

The old lady had a gloomy face and said in a cold voice: "Go to the guest room and have a good rest first."
