The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Si Ling also reminded them not to tell anyone, and Xie Lingxi immediately thought, could it be about sheep plague?

If no one had told her specifically, Xie Lingxi would have said it, but since Si Ling had told her specifically, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to tell it myself?

Thinking of this, Xie Lingxi swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, shook her head uncomfortably and said.

"No, Your Highness Prince Chen, what did you have to say to me? He just asked his guards to express their gratitude to me, so I naturally said you're welcome."

Lord Xie noticed that his daughter's expression was not right, but he did not ask any further questions.

My daughter is no longer the same as before. If it was really an important matter, she would not hide it. I thought it was indeed insignificant, so I stopped asking.

Madam Xie didn't notice that there was something wrong with Xie Lingxi, and she smiled and praised Prince Chen again.

And Xie Zhibai's expression changed again when he looked at Xie Lingxi, and that look seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Xie Lingxi felt a little guilty when being looked at, so she spoke in a bad mood.

"Brother, stop looking at me and eat!"

Xie Zhibai smiled.

"Okay, let's eat. We have finally paid back some of the favors we have given. We really need to eat more so that we can save our strength to continue paying back the favors. I don't want to lose both the lady and the army."

Xie Lingxi was confused by what she heard.

Xie Zhibai didn't look at her again and started eating the food. However, after Lingxi looked away, Xie Zhibai picked up the food a little slower.

He probably had an idea in his mind, but he just didn't want to point it out.

He knew that Prince Chen was leaving, but the other party didn't seem to intend to meet him. He just sent someone to pass on a message.

Xie Zhibai knew about the sheep plague outside Huangsha Pass, and judging by his sister's reaction, it was obvious that she knew about it too.

Xie Zhibai was amazed that Prince Chen actually told his sister about the sheep plague. It seemed that he was really honest with his sister.

With something like this happening, it's normal to leave Beijing in a hurry, but I'm afraid Prince Chen won't be so honest when he meets his sister this time.

His sister's reaction should be that she got something...

Since his sister refused to say anything, Xie Zhibai didn't dare to ask. He also believed that Prince Chen knew what to do.

Everyone has their own thoughts when eating a meal.

Lord Xie and Madam Xie didn't think too much about it, but Xie Zhibai was thinking about Prince Chen's thoughts about his sister and the matter of the two pills.

Xie Lingxi felt guilty, so halfway through the meal she took the initiative to bring up Madam Yang's matter as a way to change the subject.

She looked at her mother and said, "Oh, by the way, mother, I promised Madam Yang at Qingfeng Academy that I would visit her. We don't know how busy our family will be in the future, so I thought I would take advantage of my free time to do this first."

"Besides, I have already been recognized as a godparent, and it has been a while since we last met. I have to pay a formal visit anyway, otherwise Madam Yang might think too much. But it is not appropriate for a junior like me to go to the godparents' house to recognize a godparent, so please accompany me, mother."

Mrs. Xie agreed readily.

"Okay, being a godparent is indeed a big deal. You are too careless, kid. But since you and Madam Yang hit it off right away, and Madam Yang has taken good care of your brother, we really can't neglect it. We have to prepare more gifts."

Having said this, Mrs. Xie paused, glanced at the bracelet on her wrist, and smiled helplessly.

"You kid! Are you ready?"

Xie Lingxi smiled and nodded.

"Of course, I know etiquette well, so I will prepare everything I need. Mom, you just need to accompany me to the house. Of course, if you want to prepare some more gifts, that's fine too. We can discuss our own matters!"

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became warm.

……

"Your Highness? Your Highness!"

A maid's voice woke the dozing Eighth Prince.

"What's wrong? Is the third brother back?"

The eighth prince opened his eyes, looked around in confusion, and asked subconsciously.

The maid took a step back and replied respectfully.

"Your Highness the Eighth Prince, the Third Prince hasn't come back yet. But it's getting late, why don't you go back first? It will be the same if you come back tomorrow. If there is anything important, you can tell this servant and I will pass it on for you."

The maid had clear thoughts and finished her words respectfully.

The eighth prince waved his hand and yawned.

"No need, I'll wait for you myself. I've been waiting for so long anyway."

However, the Eighth Prince couldn't help wondering, where did the Third Brother go? Why hasn't he come back yet?

This matter is urgent, but not particularly urgent either. But I still have to tell my third brother as soon as possible.

What's more, one of the purposes of coming here is to seek credit. If the situation this time is really as Fifth Brother said, then I can be considered to have made a contribution, right?

As the Eighth Prince was thinking this, he ignored the existence of the maid. Suddenly, a respectful voice came from outside.

"Your Highness, you are back."

The Eighth Prince was originally immersed in his own thoughts, but when he heard these words, his attention was instantly snatched away. He immediately looked outside and saw a familiar figure approaching.

If not his third brother, then who else could it be?

Oh! I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally it is back!

The eighth prince immediately became happy and went to greet him.

"Third brother! Third brother!"

The butler was following behind the third prince at this time. When he heard the eighth prince's voice, he hurriedly spoke.

"Third Prince, the Eighth Prince has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, the Third Prince was somewhat surprised, and looked at his eighth brother, somewhat confused.

This brat usually doesn't come close to me, why did he do that this time? He even waited for me on purpose, and he didn't go back even when it was dark, so he better have something important to do.

The Third Prince did not have a good impression of his eighth brother. Perhaps it was because he was too well protected by Shunpin, the Eighth Brother had no ambition. No matter big or small matters, they were basically all handled by Shunpin, and occasionally the Fifth Brother would help out.

All in all, the Eighth Prince is just a child who has not grown up, and the Third Prince will not entrust most of his tasks to his younger brother.

It's really ridiculous that they suddenly came here to wait for me today, as if the sun rises in the west.

But after all, they were people from his own camp, so the Third Prince still had a smile on his face.

"Why are you here? Why are you waiting for me for so long? If you have anything to say, just ask the butler to tell you. Have you eaten?"

The third prince was quite polite.

The eighth prince waved his hands, he couldn't wait any longer.

"I have already eaten at your house. By the way, Third Brother, I came to see you for something important!"

Having said that, the Eighth Prince glanced mysteriously at the people around him, then whispered into the Third Prince's ear.

"Third brother, this is very important and it is not convenient for outsiders to hear. Let's go to your study and talk about it."

The Third Prince raised his eyebrows. It was rare for him to see the Eighth Prince looking so serious. He thought for a moment and decided that it was nothing serious, so he reported to his attendants and personally took the Eighth Prince to the study.
