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

Xie Lingxi was worried, so she asked.

"Brother, you haven't been discovered, have you? This matter must be kept secret. At least before everything is settled, our family cannot be discovered and involved by anyone. Otherwise, we will not be able to get away this time and will be dragged into it."

Xie Zhibai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the people I arranged this time are tight-lipped and thorough, and no clues have been discovered. Now we are just waiting for Mr. Qin's people to catch those thugs, confirm their identities, and get their confessions. Everything will go smoothly from now on."

When he said this, Xie Zhibai sneered.

"The fifth son of the Mu family is probably in big trouble this time. He did such a shameful thing back then, and even kept the culprit by his side and showed him off everywhere. Now that he's in big trouble, he's doomed!"

Xie Lingxi's eyes were cold.

"In the final analysis, he deserves it. It is only natural that a person should pay for his life and a debt should be paid. If no one knew about what the fifth son of the Mu family did, it would be fine. But since we know the truth, we certainly cannot let Miss Liu be wrongly accused."

"By the way, big brother, is there any movement from the Xiao family? Didn't the Fifth Prince say before that Imperial Concubine Wan ordered Concubine Shun to deal with us? Have you found out anything?"

Speaking of this, Xie Zhibai's expression darkened slightly.

"I just wanted to tell you about this. I didn't find out anything, but the Fifth Prince gave me some news. He said Shunpin has taken action. She didn't take action before because the Third Prince and Imperial Concubine Wan disagreed on how to deal with our Xie family. So Shunpin couldn't take action because she was unsure of the severity of the situation."

"But in the past two days, Shunpin seems to have made up her mind and is ready to take action. However, due to the face of the Third Prince, she dare not use heavy hands, and she dare not take action against me and my father either."

"But Shunpin didn't dare to go against Concubine Wan's wishes, so she prepared to attack you and Zhiqing. By attacking you and Zhiqing, she would not go against Concubine Wan's orders, and at the same time, she would not hurt the Third Prince's face too much. He really took advantage of the opportunity."

Xie Lingxi frowned slightly.

"To target me and the educated youth? What does she want to do? What is she going to do? Did the Fifth Prince tell you?"

Xie Zhibai's face darkened slightly.

"The Fifth Prince did say that Shunpin has handed over the action against you to the Eighth Prince. From what the Fifth Prince has learned, he should be trying to ruin your reputation."

"The main point is to spread the news that you were broken off and can't get married everywhere in the capital. They want to confuse right and wrong in the matter between our Xie family and Xiao family and discredit you. The main purpose is to destroy your reputation and make you unable to get married in the future. At the same time, it also brings shame to our Xie family."

As Xie Zhibai spoke, his expression became colder and colder, but towards the end he changed the subject and softened his tone.

"But fortunately, the Fifth Prince knew about this. The Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince have a close relationship. The Eighth Prince would always ask the Fifth Prince for his opinion on anything. The Fifth Prince stopped this matter at the time."

"But he did not take the initiative, but asked the Eighth Prince to ask the Third Prince for his opinion. The Eighth Prince listened to the Fifth Prince's advice and felt that the Third Prince was the one who could really be in charge of the party."

"Between the Third Prince and Imperial Concubine Wan, the Eighth Prince chose to obey the Third Prince's orders, so he reported this matter to the Third Prince. The Third Prince originally intended to win over our Xie family, so he directly suppressed this matter. You are not in any danger for the time being."

Xie Lingxi really didn't care much about this matter.

Xie Lingxi actually doesn't care about her reputation, since it won't cost her anything anyway.

Of course, if her reputation was damaged, it would bring shame to the Xie family, so Xie Lingxi was still a little concerned.

However, if it was really the Eighth Prince who took action, Xie Lingxi would not be too afraid. Not to mention that the news had leaked to the Xie family in advance, so she would have time to make full preparations.

Even if she had not received the fifth prince's reminder in advance, Xie Lingxi would not be afraid.

What is really going on between the Xie family and the Xiao family? People in Beijing are not blind or deaf, so how could they listen to the random rumors spread by people with ulterior motives?

If there really were any signs of this, I would definitely fight back immediately, or at least not get myself involved.

However, if I ignore Shunpin's bad behavior, wouldn't it make the Xie family seem easy to bully?

Xie Lingxi narrowed her eyes and asked again, "Brother, I'll let this matter go, but what about the educated youth? How does Shunpin plan to deal with them?"

Having said this, Xie Zhibai's face darkened a little, and even looked a little serious.

"Speaking of which, this Shunpin is really vicious. She planned to deal with the educated youth herself and did not tell the Eighth Prince the details, so the Fifth Prince could not ask about it. He was also afraid of alerting the enemy, so he did not go to Shunpin to test her."

"However, based on his understanding of Shunpin, the Fifth Prince has roughly guessed that if he wants to deal with the educated youth, it would be easier to start with their reputation. If he really wants to make our Xie family suffer a heavy loss, he should start with the educated youth's imperial examination."

"They probably want to affect the educated youth's foundation for the imperial examination. If the educated youth's path to the imperial examination is cut off, or if there is any stain in this matter, then it will be considered as ruin. This is a serious matter. After the fifth prince analyzed it, he immediately sent someone to tell me, and also asked me to remind you to think of a countermeasure."

Xie Lingxi's expression was also very ugly, and she said through gritted teeth.

"She's really a femme fatale, destroying people's foundation? Good! That's really good!"

There was a hint of coldness in Xie Lingxi's words. She then took a deep breath and said to Xie Zhibai.

"Brother, we are being bullied by others. We can't just sit there and do nothing. If Shunpin dares to touch my brother, then I will touch her son! Passive defense is never as good as active attack. Let me think about it..."

Xie Lingxi has already started thinking about how to deal with the situation.

Anyway, in this new life, Xie Lingxi will never be a punching bag again, and she will never let anyone hurt the Xie family again. If Shunpin dares to attack her own brother, then don't blame me for touching her most beloved son.

Buy and sell!

Xie Lingxi started walking around in the yard, pacing back and forth, while Xie Zhibai also started thinking about how to deal with the situation.

However, he had very few channels to learn about the affairs of the harem, so he really couldn't find any handle to deal with Shunpin or the Eighth Prince.

Besides, the Eighth Prince is a prince after all. If you really want to take action against him, the plan must be thorough.

Otherwise, if the truth were to be revealed, it would be a crime of disrespecting the royal family. When the emperor was furious, the Xie family would have a hard time. So Xie Zhibai thought about it and decided to let his sister think of a solution.

My sister should know more about the harem than I do.

After a while, Xie Lingxi stopped, turned around, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.
