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

Xie Lingxi waited for a long time, but there was still no further movement.

After thinking about it, if the people outside really wanted to deal with me, they should have taken action long ago. After all, I am just a weak girl...

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Lingxi made up his mind, held the dagger in both hands, walked towards the window, and cursed in a low voice.

"Who's outside? If you have any bad intentions, I will be rude to you! Hiding in secret, what kind of hero are you?"

After Xie Lingxi finished shouting, she realized how stupid she was.

If the person outside was an assassin, I would have been killed. If he was not an assassin and was deliberately teasing me, I was really cowardly for shouting like that.

Xie Lingxi cursed herself in her heart, but still didn't hear any sound. She pushed the window open carefully, but still didn't dare to stick her head out. She could only carefully cut twice with the dagger.

I didn't notice anything unusual, so I looked around with half of my head, and there was no one outside.

Xie Lingxi frowned, looked down, and then found a note on the windowsill, pressed down by a small stone.

Xie Lingxi was surprised and used a dagger to push the stone away. Then she held up the note with the dagger and brought it into the house. Fearing that the note might be poisonous, Xie Lingxi placed it carefully on the table.

There were words on the note. Xie Lingxi moved closer with the candlestick and started to read it. After reading it, her expression changed immediately and she felt relieved.

This note was actually sent by the fifth prince!

The above content made Xie Lingxi quite nervous.

But after the tension, I relaxed again.

Sure enough, being more cautious was useful. At least the people of the Third Prince had no intention of letting them go.

Although no one knew what the Third Prince himself was thinking, it was obvious that he did not have sufficient control over the people in his own party. At least he could not interfere with the Mu family and his mother.

Xie Lingxi smiled sarcastically. This was good news for her.

Everyone in the Third Prince's faction has their own thoughts. Not only do his subordinates have strong "intentions", but even the Third Prince has a rift with his greatest supporters, the Mu family, and his biological mother.

How is that not a good thing?

When people fight among themselves, outsiders will have opportunities to exploit.

Just like the Fifth Prince, the Fifth Prince is the best example, and this tip-off note is the best proof.

Xie Lingxi chuckled, put the note away, then walked out of the house and called Qiao'er.

Qiao'er had just returned from delivering the clothes, and when she heard the noise she came over to get orders.

Xie Lingxi said: "Go and invite my elder brother over... No, let me change my clothes first."

After Xie Lingxi changed her clothes, Qiao'er left in a hurry.

After a while, Xie Zhibai came over, looking a little tired, and no one knew what he was doing.

Xie Lingxi didn't ask any more questions, but directly put the note from the fifth prince on the table for her eldest brother to see.

The room was quiet, with only the brother and sister in it. Qiao'er had gone to bed. Xie Zhibai read the note and raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't expect that the Fifth Prince would actually send us a letter. This is good news. At least we have a spy on the Third Prince's side. The Fifth Prince is willing to be this spy. It's hard for him."

Xie Lingxi said with a smile.

"It's just a mutual benefit. The Fifth Prince helped us, and we will definitely repay him in the future. But this is indeed a good thing. At least we can be aware of the actions of the Third Prince and his faction, and we are no longer completely blind."

"This news has both good and bad consequences for us. The good thing is that we knew in advance that the Third Prince and his faction were going to deal with us, and there was obviously a rift between the Third Prince and Imperial Concubine Wan and the Mu family. At least, they had a disagreement on how to deal with our family."

Xie Lingxi curled her lips, her tone quite happy.

"From the small to the big, to deal with our Xie family, or to win over our Xie family, on this matter, the Third Prince and the Mu family and even his mother have different ideas. Does this mean that the Third Prince and the Mu family also have differences on other matters?"

"In this way, we may be able to find a way to sow discord between the Third Prince and the Mu family. Of course, now is not a good time and we have no chance to do so. It will also alert the enemy, so let's not talk about this for now."

"The bad news is that it has been confirmed that the Third Prince and his faction will help the Xiao family deal with us. We are still in great danger. Big brother, you and dad must be careful next time!"

Xie Zhibai accepted all of his sister's reminders.

"I understand. I will remind Dad, and I will be careful myself. The two pills you gave me were indeed very timely. We learned in advance that we were going to be dealt with, so we won't be caught off guard next time."

"I will speed up my actions. It is best to strike them first before they make a move and make them lose their composure. Then they will have no time to deal with us."

Xie Lingxi nodded and whispered.

"I hope the Fifth Prince can help delay it for a while. The Fifth Prince also stated in the note that he helped to sow discord between Concubine Wan and the Third Prince. We don't know whether the Third Prince will stop it, but there is always hope, right?"

"Besides, since the Fifth Prince already knows the news and is willing to tip us off, I don't think he will just sit there and watch. But for things like this, it's better to have a give-and-take relationship."

"Brother, find a chance to pass on a message to His Highness. We have to take the initiative to ask him to help delay for a while, and also ask His Highness if there is anything he needs our help with."

Xie Zhibai tapped Xie Lingxi's nose.

"Girl, you have a good grasp of the ways of the world now. I just hope that we can do what the Fifth Prince asks us to do. Otherwise, if we are useless, it will not be easy to get news about the Third Prince's faction in the future."

Having said that, this matter is over.

Xie Zhibai directly brought up something else, he looked at Xie Lingxi and said.

"Based on your tips, I did some research. During the day, I specifically checked the fifth son of the Mu family. That guy was indeed followed by several servants."

"They are the ones who suddenly appeared next to Mu Laowu after the case of Miss Liu three years ago. If I'm not mistaken, they are the thugs who deliberately instigated Guo Xiong to take action."

Xie Lingxi said in surprise.

"Brother, you're so quick. I thought it would take at least a few days to investigate."

Xie Zhibai chuckled.

"No matter what, I am still a member of the Ministry of Justice. I am just doing some investigation. If I can't even do this, how can I be the Minister of Justice?"

"Okay, I've told you the progress of the matter. I have to go back to the Ministry of Justice tonight to confirm. You should have a good rest. Don't you have to visit Madam Yang with your mother tomorrow? You should be in better spirits."

Xie Lingxi smiled and nodded.

"I understand, big brother. You should go and take a rest too!"
