Qin Baiwei looked at Xie Zhichan with a faint smile on her face. She thought she was just a fool, but she didn't expect that she was actually stupid and didn't care at all.
She stopped smiling and said to Xie Zhichan, "The Crown Prince's Consort hit Sister Rou. Aren't you afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for Brother Yi? After all, the Princess is the head of the Yanwang Mansion."
Although Pei Jingyu looked timid, she mustered up the courage to say, "Sister-in-law beat my second sister because she stood up for me. If the princess wants to blame me, let her punish me."
Seeing Pei Jingyu's pitiful appearance, Xie Zhichan reached out and touched her head, comforting her: "Third sister, please relax. If I can't deal with the princess, I won't do it. I won't let the princess cause trouble for you or your brother."
No one had ever touched Pei Jingyu's head since she was a child. At that moment, she felt like she had gained a powerful strength, as if she had a solid support in this world. She immediately felt closer to Xie Zhichan, and the fear in her heart disappeared unknowingly.
She remembered the purpose of coming here today and Dan Feng's words, and asked Xie Zhichan: "Sister-in-law, what were you and brother doing in there just now? Can I go in and see brother now?"
When Xie Zhichan heard Pei Jingyu's first question, he almost choked on his own saliva and couldn't help but complain about Dan Feng in his heart: "Thank you so much!"
She smiled at Pei Jingyu and said, "Good child, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. Dan Feng is talking nonsense."
Thinking that although Pei Yi had fallen asleep again after taking the anesthetic, he might not wake up until dark. Pei Jingyu was sensitive to begin with. If she was allowed to go in to see him, she would worry about nothing. So she advised her, "Your brother has a cold today, so he is resting in the house. I don't want others to get infected. Listen to your sister-in-law and go back to your courtyard first, and come back to see your brother in the evening."
In fact, she was worried that Pei Jingyu was here. When Lin came over, if he directed his firepower at Pei Jingyu, she would be afraid to act rashly.
Seeing Pei Jingyu was a little hesitant, he had to tell her frankly: "If you don't leave, the princess will come over to punish you, and I'm afraid I will have to fight with others to protect you, and then the princess will hate me even more."
After hearing this, Pei Jingyu immediately hated herself for being useless and needing others to protect her for everything. However, she knew that what Xie Zhichan said was true, so she left Tingxueju dejectedly and returned to her own Yuhe Garden.
Qin Baiwei glanced at Xie Zhichan, then looked at Pei Jingyu's departing back, her eyes darkening.
When the little girl came, she clearly called her Sister Qin all the time and treated her as someone she was dependent on. But when she left, she even forgot to say hello to her.
She was very sure that Xie Zhichan was just pretending to be stupid in front of her yesterday. In fact, she was a woman who was very good at calculating people's hearts.
Qin Baiwei pinched the hem of her skirt tightly, and a voice in her heart told her with certainty: This woman will steal Brother Yi's heart!
She felt a little regretful. She should have accepted the Queen Mother's suggestion to marry her to Pei Yi as his concubine.
But it's no use regretting now, there's only one chance.
---
After hearing Pei Jingrou's crying, Princess Lin of Yan quickly brought a few strong maids to Tingxueju. Her stern face clearly showed that she had no good intentions.
Pei Jingrou followed behind Lin and glared at Xie Zhichan angrily when she saw her.
Xie Zhichan couldn't help but sneer in his heart: She is just a little girl who can only take advantage of the power of others.
She bowed slightly to Lin and said with a smile: "What is the princess doing? Why did you suddenly bring so many people to Tingxueju? If you don't know, you would think that the princess is here to kidnap someone."
After all, Lin had been the legitimate wife for many years, and because she always wanted to compete with Ji Wanyun, she particularly liked to act like the Princess of Yan, as if she was competing with the past and wanted people to completely forget about the former Ji Wanyun and only remember that she was the only Princess of Yan.
After practicing for a long time, I really developed a majestic aura.
She looked at Xie Zhichan with drooped eyelids, as if she was too lazy to even look at her, and asked arrogantly: "Rou'er said that the slap mark on her face was caused by you, but is it true?"
Xie Zhichan smiled and said, "The princess has brought so many people here, why do you still need to ask whether it's true or not?"
Lin's face immediately darkened. Thinking of the humiliation she suffered on the day of the tea ceremony, she became even angrier. She immediately ordered the maid behind her, "Come here, the Crown Prince's wife bullied my younger sister. According to the palace's family rules, she will be punished with twenty lashes."
The two strongest maids behind Lin immediately came out and walked towards Xie Zhichan.
Xie Zhichan looked at the two women coldly, with no fear on his face. Instead, he flicked his nails with a relaxed look, looked at them and said, "If you two dare to touch even one of my fingers, I guarantee that you will not be able to walk out of Tingxueju standing today."
She clearly said it so casually, as casually as if she was saying that the weather was really nice today, but to the ears of the two old women, they felt an inexplicable creepy feeling and for a moment they didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
As the wife of Prince Yan, Lin had seen people in high positions like Pei Yi, Prince Yan, so she was not intimidated by Xie Zhichan's aura. Instead, she wanted to compete with her and said, "The Crown Prince's wife actually disobeyed the teachings of the elders. Since that's the case, I'll give her ten more lashes!"
The two women continued to walk towards Xie Zhichan, reaching out their hands to twist her. In a flash, no one could see how Xie Zhichan moved her hands. The two women, who were clearly strong, were pinned to the ground by her small body, one on top of the other, howling, "You're crushing me to death, Crown Princess, spare me!"
Xie Zhichan simply sat on the two women, causing them to howl again. She lowered her head and said, "I have kindly warned you, but it is too late to ask for your life now."
She looked up at Lin again, her expression no longer smiling, and said, "Princess, you should first find out why the second young lady was beaten. Don't just focus on educating other people's daughters and ignore your own."
Lin heard something behind her words. She thought of the time when Rou'er ran to her crying and said that the Crown Prince's wife had hit her, but she didn't say why.
Lin turned around and stared at Pei Jingrou, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Pei Jingrou moved her lips and stammered, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Xie Zhichan sneered and told Lin: "The Second Miss came to Tingxueju. Unfortunately, the prince and I were not convenient to see guests, but the Second Miss forced her way in. I didn't know that the Second Miss had a hobby of breaking into her brother and sister-in-law's house. I had to take the place of the princess and fulfill my responsibility as an elder sister-in-law."
Pei Jingrou heard Xie Zhichan's words about her, and she screamed, "What do you mean by breaking into my brother and sister-in-law's house? You clearly have bad intentions, and you stopped us from going in to see my eldest brother. Who knows if you abused my eldest brother and were afraid that we would find out? You even refused to let Sister Qin in when she came to check my eldest brother's pulse, which shows that you have bad intentions."
Xie Zhichan smiled and said, "The prince and I are husband and wife. Since the door is closed, we are naturally doing things between husband and wife. Is it possible that at this time, the second young lady is also going to force her way in to take a look?"
Pei Jingrou finally understood what Danfeng meant by "inconvenience". Her face immediately turned red and she felt embarrassed.
Qin Baiwei suddenly said, "Don't blame Sister Rou for being ignorant, Princess. Sister Rou is just worried about Brother Yi's health. Even I, who know some human affairs because I studied medicine, didn't expect what Princess Rou and the prince were doing in the room. After all, the prince's current health condition cannot-"
There was no way, she didn't say it, but everyone present understood it.
Xie Zhichan thought to himself: You were the one who came here to ask for trouble, so don't blame me for being rude.
