He noticed that the servants in the mansion looked strange and were reluctant to pick up their chopsticks.

Seeing that Xie Jingrui didn't move, Lai's mother went forward to pick up some food for him and said, "The princess specially asked the kitchen to make this dish for the prince to taste. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Xie Jingrui glanced at the bowl with his cold eyes.

Ever since that night when someone tricked him into drinking alcohol that he shouldn't have, Xie Jingrui has been training his sense of smell.

The table was filled with delicious food, and there was a familiar smell wafting from the dishes.

Xie Jingrui's face darkened instantly.

He put the chopsticks heavily on the table.

Mother Lai hurried forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, the princess will be well soon. She said that as long as you can stay in Shuya Courtyard tonight, the princess will tell you everything you want to know."

Xie Jingrui's angry face suddenly became uglier.

His voice became a little colder: "Finally, please don't use this matter to tease me. There is nothing that is almost the same as what I want to know. It's just a matter of time."

Mother Lai knelt down and kowtowed: "I dare not."

"Mom Lai, what's wrong?" Liu Yunni came out of a careful bath and asked in a sweet voice.

She was wearing a plain colored brocade mountain and river skirt, her skin was white and smooth, and her face was free of the rouge and powder of the day. Even without makeup, her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Liu Yueru.

The woman who was sleeping that night that he vaguely remembered frowned slightly...

Xie Jingrui was in a trance.

Mother Lai smiled secretly, gave Liu Yunni a look, and hurriedly left the yard.

After Lai's mother left, Liu Yunni finally mustered up the courage to walk over to Xie Jingrui and sit down.

Xie Jingrui's icy gaze fell heavily on Liu Yunni.

Liu Yunni subconsciously moved to the side.

"Speak!" Xie Jingrui was full of vigor.

Liu Yunni was intimidating without being angry. She secretly clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "I am hungry. Can you please let me have a meal together like a normal couple?"

Liu Yunni's eyes were moist and she looked pitiful.

It’s a pity that Xie Jingrui didn’t even bother to give her an eye.

He said coldly: "I am not hungry. If you are hungry, eat. I am not a vegetable. Why are you looking at me?"

Liu Yunni bit her red lips tenderly, almost crying: "I have never made any requests to the prince in these years. I have been in the inner court of the palace and have been doing my duty. Could it be that the prince is unwilling to give me such a simple request?"

Seeing that Xie Jingrui was not moved at all, Liu Yunni changed the subject and said, "Even if I have no merits in the palace, I have worked hard. The prince cut off my meeting with Hua Ge'er in front of outsiders today. You are trying to kill me."

Say it.

Liu Yunni's tears rolled down her face.

"If it weren't for what happened that night, I wouldn't have to come to the Prince of Jin's mansion to be a widow. Outsiders may think I am so glorious, but how dare I tell others about the pain in my heart?"

Xie Jingrui's eyes darkened, and his thin lips moved slightly: "When I took you and Hua Ge'er back to the palace, I told you very clearly that if I brought you to the Jin Palace, as long as you took good care of Hua Ge'er, I would only promise you the position of princess and respect in front of others. As for the rest..."

Xie Jingrui's cold and slender fingers grasped Liu Yunni's chin, and his voice was like a ghost, lingering in Liu Yunni's ears: "What I hate most in my life is people who lie to me and use tricks against me. Do you know where the person who drugged me last time went?"

Liu Yunni's face turned pale, and she glanced at the food guiltily, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty..."

Before she finished her words, she met Xie Jingrui's cold eyes and said with some difficulty: "Slave, I don't know!"

Xie Jingrui's handsome face kept magnifying in front of Liu Yunni, and his demonic eyes fell on her: "That person is still alive in the dungeon..."

Liu Yunni’s face turned pale!

She had heard about Xie Jingrui's dungeon in Prince Jin's Mansion a long time ago. It was a place that even ghosts would be terrified of.

The man only gave the man in front of him a love drug, but Xie Jingrui locked that man up in a dungeon for six years.

He can neither live nor die, his life is as worthless as an ant, and he suffers inhuman torture every day.

Liu Yunni couldn't help but shiver.

After Xie Jingrui finished speaking, he sat back in his seat and pretended to pick up the chopsticks to pick up some food.

Liu Yunni was terrified and said in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty, you can't eat it!"

Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes and looked at her in confusion.

Liu Yunni hurriedly stood up and snatched the chopsticks from his hand: "The food is cold. It will harm your health if you eat it, Your Highness. I will ask the servants to prepare another table."

"No need for that. Mother Lai said that you asked me to come here to talk about Hua Ge'er." Xie Jingrui stared at her with cold eyes.

Liu Yunni's eyes were as red as rabbits: "Hua Ge'er was born through my hard work, and now he has become so naughty. If the prince does not care and continues to indulge Hua Ge'er to play with those questionable people, I am afraid that sooner or later, Hua Ge'er's mind will be affected, and it will be difficult to correct him then."

"The prince of the Zhennan Marquisate favors his concubine and sacrifices his wife, which has a bad influence on the children."

"It's bad enough that Song Shijin is disrespectful to his stepmother, but he is also so vicious that he persecutes the maids in the room, and he is even more cruel to the descendants of those nobles."

Liu Yunni thought for a moment, then said, "It can be seen from this."

"Sister is not a good wife. First, she can't take care of her husband, and second, she can't teach her children. That's why the current situation in Zhennan Marquis Mansion has come to this."

Xie Jingrui stood up suddenly and said coldly, "If you are upright, you don't have to worry about your shadow being crooked. If you are upright, why should you be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night? Your nature is bad, no matter how others discipline you, it can't cover up your wicked inner self!"

"You seem to sympathize with the fate of the son of Zhennan Marquis and Song Shijin? Or are you the same as those vicious women who like to kick someone when he's down?" Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Liu Yunni looked up in surprise. Xie Jingrui, who usually didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, actually tried to excuse Liu Yueru and lecture her today.

In the past six months, Xie Jingrui has never said as much to me as he did today.

The handkerchief in her hand was nearly torn to pieces by the constant pulling of her!

"Your Highness, that's not what I meant. It's just that Hua Ge'er has always been well-behaved and sensible, and has never done anything to contradict his mother. Today, he was really too presumptuous!"

After Liu Yunni finished speaking, she did not forget to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.

Liu Yunni wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Xie Jingrui, "Hua'er is my child, and I know him very well. Since you raised him, Hua'er will call you mother, but you must not forget your status as a member of the Jin Palace! When Hua'er is old enough to be a tutor, it will be time for you to leave the Jin Palace."

Liu Yunni's body suddenly went limp and she leaned weakly on the chair, the smile on her face no longer able to be maintained. Now Xie Wenhua was about to turn seven years old, and in another three years, Xie Jingrui would give her a divorce letter.

At first, she just wanted to take advantage of her proximity to the prince and use Xie Wenhua as a bargaining chip. For ten years, relying on her looks and means, she could say anything to make the prince fall in love with her.

When Liu Yunni's eyes met Xie Jingrui's cold and gloomy look, her heart felt like it was sinking into an ice cellar.

A hint of sinisterness flashed across her eyes, and she picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a big sip.

Running towards Xie Jingrui...
