Mrs. Shang glanced at Xie Baijin next to her. The child looked much better than before. Wearing plain clothes and light makeup, he looked quite pretty.

"Madam Xie, I heard that the Xie family just received a plaque from the emperor? This is truly a matter of honor for the family."

"Madam Shang, you are too kind. It is all because of the emperor's wisdom. I am just following his son and benefiting from his kindness."

"Oh, Madam Xie is so modest." Madam Shang enthusiastically took Yun Zhihan's hand and talked about her son, "My son is also old."

"I've seen many girls who are not satisfied. They have married so many concubines, but they still haven't found a wife. I'm so anxious."

Yun Zhihan glanced at her. She would never let her daughter marry into such a family. With so many wives and concubines, wouldn't Bai Jin be bullied to death if he went there?

"Madam Shang is wrong to think so. Young Master Shang is both talented and handsome, so naturally there are many girls who like him. Besides, Madam Shang can still pick an outstanding one from the concubines."

"Hehe." Mrs. Shang sneered twice. How could she agree to this family without a strong background?

Jiang Feng, who was standing at the back, stared coldly at Shang Shangshu's wife. He was still standing here, so how come someone came to snatch his people?

Although Bai Jin never expressed his opinion from beginning to end, he was not discouraged. Even if it wasn't him, it couldn't be the evil son in their family.

Yun Zhihan touched Jin'er and gave her a wink, saying that she was a lady from a noble family after all and shouldn't be so rude.

Bai Jin knew what his mother meant. He put down the things in his hands, looked at Madam Shang, and smiled calmly, "Shang, Shang, Madam, OK."

When these words were spoken, not only Mrs. Shang was shocked, but even Yun Zhihan was puzzled. Why did this child become a stutterer?

"Mrs. Xie, what's going on?" Mrs. Shang obviously hadn't reacted yet.

Yun Zhihan was stunned for a moment, and explained, "Jin'er was a naughty girl. She went out to have fun with her brothers a while ago, and she had a stroke when she came back. That's why she became like this."

Xie Baijin nodded. She was very satisfied with her mother's answer.

When Jiang Feng heard this, he almost laughed out loud. Madam Xie was really good at making up lies.

Mrs. Shang's face instantly turned cold. Stroke? Their Shang family is a family of scholars. Marrying a stutterer who had a stroke, wouldn't it be a joke to death if the news got out?

"Mrs. Xie is busy. I'll go over there."

"Oh? Didn't Madam Shang just talk about choosing a principal wife? Why are you leaving suddenly?"

"Oh, the maid just said she has something to talk to me about. I'll go over first. Madam Xie, please continue to enjoy the flowers."

Mrs. Shang jogged off halfway through her words.

Yun Zhihan glanced at his daughter and said angrily, "When did you become so naughty? Now that you're gone, the whole of Shangjing will know that you had a stroke and stuttered."

Xie Baijin said proudly, "Mom, please don't wrongly accuse me. My daughter just learned to stutter. It was you who said she had a stroke. So, we can only be considered a loving mother and a filial son."

Yun Zhihan was so angry that he was about to hit him, but Bai Jin dodged by turning around. The two of them smiled at each other.

Forget it, she has thought it through. It doesn't matter if her daughter doesn't want to get married. When Yuan'er and Chen'er grow up a little, get married, and can support the family, she will take Jin'er and travel around.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Bai Jin saw a sneaky figure walking towards the backyard.

"Mom, who do you think that is? Why does she look like a bad person to me?"

Yun Zhihan looked closely and found that it was Zhao Hui. How brave this person was! He dared to make such a move in the imperial palace? Zhao Feng was afraid that he would not even be able to keep his official position.

In that case, she would lend a helping hand to Zhao Hui.

"Jin'er, follow me for a while, don't leave me, okay?"

"Yeah." Bai Jin didn't ask the reason, she knew her mother must have her own reasons.

Thinking back to what happened just now, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mom, do I need to tell my brother and the princess?"

"Okay, you have learned the Art of War for real. You know how to analyze the enemy's situation and use their tactics against them?"

"That is!"

Yun Zhihan patted her head and said, "We will pass by the eldest princess later and say a few words to them."

The two discussed a strategy and stood up and walked towards the eldest princess.

……

After Mrs. Zhao left Yun Zhihan, she went to find her daughter Zhao Hui.

"Mom, did Mrs. Xie agree?" She really wanted to know the outcome.

"Hui'er, listen to me, forget about Xie Boyuan. I can find you someone better."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Hui's face immediately turned cold, "Mom, you are so useless! You can't even say a kiss."

"How dare you talk to me?"

Zhao Hui turned her face away and said angrily, "I'm not wrong. We all know that Madam Xie is easy to talk to. You can't even do such a simple thing. Dad will definitely scold you when he goes back."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Zhao was very angry. This child was being spoiled and becoming more and more unruly. It would be strange if the Xie family would look down on her.

"Mother is telling you, don't provoke Xie Boyuan again, understand? The emperor and the queen will be here soon, so you must not act recklessly."

The emperor and the queen will come? That's great. If the emperor saw this, he would definitely issue an imperial decree to make her and Mr. Xie happy.

Thinking of this, her expression became much happier, and she replied, "Mom, I understand. I will be careful and will never let you and dad down."

"Yes, that's right." Faced with her daughter's sudden change, Mrs. Zhao did not think much about it. Instead, she felt that her daughter was well-educated and had grown up a lot.

Zhao Hui took the maid ahead and whispered, "Go find Master Xie and tell him that Madam Xie has something important to discuss with him. Ask him to go to the backyard quickly."

"Miss, is this okay?" The girl was afraid. This was in the imperial palace. If anything went wrong it would be a capital crime. Even ten heads wouldn't be enough to handle it.

"I'm here, why are you panicking? Just do what I ask."

"Yes, yes, miss." The girl was helpless. She had no choice but to obey Zhao Hui, otherwise she would be tortured to death by this woman when she returned.

Zhao Hui was also very cruel to herself. She smeared a lot of aphrodisiacs on herself. As long as Xie Boyuan got close to her, he would be charmed by her.

After making all preparations, she walked towards the backyard.

The little girl came over tremblingly. When Xie Boyuan saw her, he felt something was wrong, so he stood in front of the princess and asked, "Who is coming?"

"Master Xie, I am here on Madam Xie's orders to tell you that she has something urgent to discuss with you, so she wants you to go to the backyard."

After hearing this, Murong Yu continued to ask, "Do you know what it is?"

"I don't know. Madam Xie just asked me to inform Master Xie."

"Okay, I got it. I'll be there in a moment." Xie Baiyuan said coldly.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." The maid left in a panic.

Murong Yu asked worriedly, "Master Xie, how about going over to take a look?"

"No, my mother just came to remind me that unless it's someone familiar, I should pretend I didn't hear anything anyone said and I shouldn't move."
