The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Cui Yu was startled, as if Xia Yanxiang had suddenly caught her by the tail.

"Second sister, if you don't want me to expose you for disrespecting the legitimate daughter and the mistress, just behave yourself!" Xia Yanxiang narrowed her eyes and threw these words in Xia Pinxiang's face.

"You!" Xia Pinxiang was almost mad at Xia Yanxiang, "How dare you talk to me like that? Believe it or not, I'll tell my father!"

"Tell father?" Xia Yanxiang smiled contemptuously, "Second sister, don't forget that I have an uncle, the Right Prime Minister Tu Song."

Xia Zhibai is not in Beijing now, but Tu Song has always been there. If Tu had not always reported good news but not bad news, there would be no news about Yang Jin and Xia Pinxiang!

"If you are dissatisfied, you can tell father what I have said and see what he says."

Xia Yanxiang was never afraid of Xia Liu, and it could even be said that she looked down on Xia Liu.

He relied entirely on the support of his wife's family, but in the end he dared to betray them. He really has become too powerful!

Xia Pinxiang didn't believe Xia Yanxiang's words, and immediately went to Xia Liu to complain: "Just wait! Even if you have an uncle who is the Right Prime Minister, so what? You have been living a life of nothing for so many years! And you still expect the Right Prime Minister to help you! Just wait! I will go find my father right now!"

"Farewell, second sister." Xia Yanxiang saluted Xia Pinxiang with a smile, and at the same time tried to show her presence and annoy her.

After Xia Pinxiang and the others had walked out of Ao Yan Xuan, Xia Yanxiang looked at An Zhi and said, "Come here."

An Zhi stood there, trying not to cry, for fear that Xia Yanxiang would worry: "Miss, I'm fine."

Xia Yanxiang sighed and went to get the ointment. Seeing Anzhi still standing there, she called out again, "Come here, don't make me angry."

Only then did Anzhi come over.

Xia Yanxiang opened the ointment, gently scooped out some, and smeared it on Anzhi's slightly swollen right cheek: "If she comes in the future, there is no need to stop her, just come."

"But the Second Young Miss is coming with such a threatening attitude, I'm afraid she will do something bad to you." An Zhi's eyes were red, and she pouted her lips, trying hard not to cry.

Xia Yanxiang gently applied medicine to her: "No matter how aggressive she was, she entered Ao Yanxuan in public. If something happened to me, do you think she would be able to live well? If one servant spreads a word, her reputation will be ruined."

"But……"

"Okay, stop thinking about this and that. I know what I am doing and I won't be bullied by her again." Xia Yanxiang concentrated on applying the medicine to Anzhi.

At this time, Tinglan just came in from outside, looking anxious: "Miss, I heard from the maid outside that the second young lady came and beat Anzhi?"

Xia Yanxiang had just finished applying the medicine. When she heard what Tinglan said, she smiled at Anzhi, but she said to Tinglan, "She's gone. Anzhi was beaten by her. Now she's applied the medicine and she's fine."

When Tinglan heard this, she hurried over. Seeing Anzhi's red and swollen face, she felt distressed: "Why is this second young lady becoming more and more arrogant?"

Anzhi felt warm in her heart, and her grievances were alleviated. She burst into laughter and said, "Don't feel bad. Although I was beaten by her, the lady has helped me vent my anger."

Xia Yanxiang just smiled and said nothing.

Tinglan looked at Xia Yanxiang and finally felt relieved: "That's good. Miss has always been unwilling to see us being wronged."

"Okay, both of you, go clean up."

"Yes."

At night, after Xia Yanxiang finished washing up, she asked Anzhi and Tinglan to go downstairs to rest and did not let them keep watch.

Xia Liu hadn't come to see Xia Yanxiang all day, and Xia Yanxiang guessed it. Maybe Xia Pinxiang was scolded, her good sister! She still didn't understand what kind of person Xia Liu was!

After turning off the lights, Xia Yanxiang was about to go to bed when she heard someone knocking on the window frame.

"Who?" If it was someone from Ao Yanxuan, they would definitely knock on the door. Why would someone knock on her window?

The person outside the window knocked twice more before asking, "Did Miss San sleep peacefully?"

Xia Yanxiang immediately got up from the bed and shrank to the corner of the bed cautiously, holding a hairpin in her hand: "I wonder what His Royal Highness Prince Luo is doing in my minister's room so late at night?"

I thought Mo Yuchen would open the window and climb in, but I didn't expect him to still be standing outside the window: "Does Miss Three know about what happened to His Royal Highness Prince Yuan?"

Xia Yanxiang was a little alert and confused. Mo Yuchen had been standing outside the window?

"I don't know. I was far away from His Royal Highness Prince Yuan at that time. I don't know what happened to His Royal Highness Prince Yuan." After hearing Mo Fuchen ask this, Xia Yanxiang knew that Mo Fuchen suspected her.

Mo Yuchen stood in the darkness. After hearing what Xia Yanxiang said, he became more certain of his thoughts. However, when he heard that Xia Yanxiang seemed to be very wary of him, he just felt amused: "Don't worry, Miss San. Xiao Wang will not come in. He is just confused and wants to hear what Miss San thinks."

"Your Highness Prince Luo, you are joking. I am not talented enough to understand these things. But shouldn't Your Highness Prince Luo prove himself? Your Highness Prince Yuan fainted in front of so many people. Aren't you the first one to be suspected?" Xia Yanxiang didn't dare to let her guard down, so she had to quickly provoke Mo Yuchen to force him away.

Mo Yuchen smiled slightly, even a little contemptuously: "Miss Third, you are so bold! How dare you slander me?"

"I dare not, but it is useless for me to not dare. It will only be useful if the emperor, the queen, and His Royal Highness Prince Yuan believe it." Xia Yanxiang is not afraid that Mo Yuchen will come in now. After all, Mo Yuchen dare not tell anyone that he has entered a woman's boudoir.

"I am upright and have nothing to fear from my own shadow. Miss Third, you are so bold. Aren't you afraid that I will tell others? Have you ever had a stranger enter your bedroom?"

"No other man has ever entered my boudoir. If there has been any, it can only be His Royal Highness Prince Luo. If this gets out, it may not be me who will suffer. His Royal Highness Prince Luo's reputation is much more important than mine. Then His Royal Highness Prince Luo will probably have no choice but to marry me." Xia Yanxiang said this because she didn't want to marry any other prince. If Mo Yuchen wanted to use this to threaten her, she had plenty of ways to deal with him.

Mo Yuchen laughed when he heard this: "Isn't that even better? This will solve the marriage between me and the third lady. My mother and I won't have to worry about my marriage anymore."

This way he wouldn't have to go so far, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?

Xia Yanxiang choked. How could Mo Yuchen be so shameless?
