The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Princess Yongtai glanced at the expressions of everyone in the flower hall and was very satisfied. She was also very satisfied with the kneeling Xie Zhining. She was a girl who knew how to manipulate people's hearts. It was worthy for her, the princess, to accompany her in a show.

She said to Xie Zhining in a gentle voice like an elder: "Girl, if you have any grievances, you can speak them out. Many ladies here are from aristocratic families, and they are all fair people. They will help you make the decision."

When Xie Zhichan saw their acting, he could only sneer in his heart. People in the world only know how to sympathize with the weak, and sometimes don't even ask why. They do this just to satisfy their own vanity and spread their reputation for virtue and kindness.

But I forgot one thing: there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.

She and Pei Yi were like the people in the audience, just indifferent. Although they had recognized Xie Zhining, they were not in a hurry to interrupt.

Seeing that her brother and sister-in-law were calm and composed, Pei Jingyu's heart calmed down unconsciously and she watched in silence.

After hearing what Princess Yongtai said, Xie Zhining felt that her trip today would not be in vain. She cried and said, "Zhining, please help me, Princess! My elder sister is not happy with my aunt's management of the household affairs. I don't know what kind of evil magic she used on my father and grandmother, causing my father to drive my brother out of the Duke of Wei's mansion and to lock me and my aunt up in the ancestral temple. It's a pity that my father only has my brother as his only son, but now there is no man to inherit the family business; my aunt cries every day in the ancestral temple, but no one can help."

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately aroused the curiosity of the women present. How could the Duke of Wei be willing to drive his only son out of the mansion? He didn't even want to pass on the incense. It seemed that this gossip was not small.

Princess Yongtai looked at Xie Zhichan and asked, "Princess, is what your sister said true?"

Xie Zhichan looked at Xie Zhining and sneered, "This guy brought trouble upon himself!"

She looked at the princess calmly and said, "As a concubine of the Duke of Weiguo, Aunt Yang must be punished for her wrongdoings. As for why Xie Wenchang was sent away—" She turned her head to look at Xie Zhining and asked in a cold voice, "Does Second Sister really want me to tell you everything here?"

Xie Zhining hesitated for a moment.

That day, before she could figure out what was going on, she was dragged by the maids and taken to the family temple with her aunt.

Although she had a vague feeling that this matter must be related to Chang Ge'er, she asked her aunt many times, but her mother just cried and refused to tell her anything. She had no choice but to endure many days in the ancestral temple and escaped when the guards were lax.

At this moment, when asked by Xie Zhichan, she began to have many thoughts of backing out.

Xie Zhichan knew that Xie Zhining was a person who always made a lot of noise but did little, so he did not rush her and just waited for her quietly.

When Huang Baoying saw Xie Zhining like this, she knew she was backing out, and said anxiously: "Sister Zhining, don't be afraid. With the eldest princess and so many ladies here, no one dares to do anything to you. Don't be afraid of threats from certain people."

Xie Zhining was encouraged and gained some courage. He said to Xie Zhichan, "Since you said that my aunt was sent to the ancestral temple because she made a mistake, then tell me, did my aunt kill someone or set a fire? She will be locked up in the ancestral temple for the rest of her life. And why was my brother driven out of the Duke of Wei's mansion?"

Xie Zhichan looked at Xie Zhining as if he were a fool. She actually wanted to expose her foolish father's green hat under the sun in Kyoto for everyone to see. She would point at her father's nose and make fun of him for a while. This would surely make his cheap father remember it deeply and he would never dare to mess around with women again. It would also allow her cheap mother to have peace for the rest of her life.

But if that were the case, the Duke of Wei's Mansion would lose all face, and her mother would probably be accidentally injured, and her future brothers and sisters' marriages would also be implicated.

Since she had made up her mind to be filial to the original owner, she had to consider Xie's mother.

She sneered at Xie Zhining and said, "Some people in this world are so stupid that they like to be the knife in other people's hands, but they don't know whether the knife will hurt themselves in the end. Second sister, you have already guessed the mistake your mother made, right? I might as well tell you, yes, it is just as you guessed. If you still want me to tell you the whole story here, I am not afraid of tearing the face of the Weiguo Mansion. Anyway, I am already a married daughter and the water has been poured out. But second sister is afraid that she will fall into hell in this life. In this case, do you still want me to tell you?"

Xie Zhining's heart was immediately filled with cold water. She even began to doubt her own life experience. She felt that she was also the child of her aunt's affair with someone else, and that she had dirty blood flowing in her body. Her face turned pale and she waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No! Don't say it!"

Then he kowtowed to the princess and said, "Your Highness, I don't want your help in making the decision. No more."

After saying that, he stood up and ran out of the house.

Huang Baoying kept shouting "Xie Er" behind her, but it was useless. She stamped her feet and sighed in her heart: What a useless guy!

She swore to the heavens in front of Princess Yongtai that she would make Xie Zhichan suffer today.

Princess Yongtai looked at Huang Baoying as if she was a fool. She felt very disappointed. She was watching a good show, but the protagonist had already left the stage before it even started.

She couldn't help but look at Xie Zhichan again. She didn't expect that this girl was so powerful. She scared people away with just a few words. She underestimated her.

However, it's better to be more powerful. It's more fun to tease them, and it's more satisfying when they kowtow and beg for mercy.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then sighed, "Forget it. My Spring Festival Banquet is not for people to gossip about family matters. Everyone has their own problems."

Putting down the teacup, he smiled and said, "We are just here to enjoy the flowers. I am afraid everyone will be bored. Why don't we find something fun to do?"

Huang Baoying was just given a look of disdain by Princess Yongtai, and she was already sweating profusely. She didn't want to be abandoned, so she thought about it and said, "I think all the noble ladies in Kyoto are here today. We have all learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting for more than ten years. No matter how good we are, we can only entertain ourselves on weekdays. How about we compete in talent today?"

Princess Yongtai nodded with satisfaction again: "There is no need to compete with the boys in horse riding and archery. They are like this because they are born to be competitive and brave. We girls can just show off what we are best at and let everyone open their eyes."

All the ladies agreed: "This is a good idea." "It is indeed feasible."

Huang Baoying smiled and said to Xie Zhichan, "Would the Crown Prince's Consort like to join us? If the Crown Prince's Consort only knows how to farm, she could renovate the garden in the Princess's mansion."

After he finished speaking, all the noble ladies pursed their lips in silence, looking at Xie Zhichan with a look that was neither smiling nor laughing, and there was clear disdain in their eyes.

The eldest daughter of the Duke of Weiguo grew up on a farm and could not do any knitting or needlework, let alone compose poetry or songs.

Isn't it disgusting that a legitimate daughter of a noble family is so low-level?
