The gongs and drums are noisy.

Xie Lingxi, dressed as a bride with a phoenix crown and a bridal bridal robe, stood in the hall of the Xiao family.

However, beneath the veil, her face did not have the slightest shyness and joy of a newlywed, and her cold eyes contained a hint of crushed ice.

Just like in his previous life, after welcoming her into the Xiao family, Xiao Yusheng went to the Xiao family ancestral temple without waiting for the ceremony to enter the family tree for her.

It was not uncommon for a noble family to register their wife in the ancestral temple.

However, there were very few people who went before the wedding ceremony like him, but Xiao Yusheng just said that he didn't want to let her down.

He wanted her to be able to stand up straight in the Xiao family as the head wife of the Xiao family from the first day she married him.

In her previous life, she was deceived by his words, so that she fell into endless self-blame for the next five years and was exploited by the Xiao family for five years without complaint.

Fortunately, God had mercy on her and gave her a chance to live again.

That’s right, she was reborn, but unfortunately, she was reborn before she went out this morning.

Her marriage to Xiao Yusheng was arranged by the emperor. Even if she wanted to cancel it, she must have sufficient reasons.

Otherwise, it would be disobeying the imperial order. Their Changping Marquis Mansion is already in an extremely sensitive position, and they must not bear such a crime now.

Now, she was waiting for Xiao Yusheng to present the reason to her.

"Oh no!"

Two guards ran in covered in blood. One of them was carrying Xiao Yusheng on his back. "My Lord, Madam, the young master was attacked by criminals and was seriously injured. His life may be in danger..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng'en Marquis Xiao Yuanshan's face suddenly changed, and he hurried forward: "Yusheng! Where are you injured? Call the palace doctor quickly!"

Madam Xiao was furious and angry: "What happened? Didn't you go to the ancestral temple to register your family tree? Why did you meet the criminals?"

Xie Lingxi had already taken off her veil and was watching the farce in front of her.

In her previous life, she was shocked by the news and was only concerned about Xiao Yusheng's injuries. But now, after looking at it carefully, she couldn't help but admire the acting skills of Xiao Yuanshan and his wife.

These two people are indeed an old fox who is good at scheming for official career, and a smiling tiger who is well versed in the art of ruling the harem.

No wonder he was able to go against his conscience in his previous life and torture her to death for five years on false charges.

The guard who was carrying Xiao Yusheng put him down and pointed at Xie Lingxi and said, "Madam, the criminals are not coming for the young master, but for Miss Xie!"

"That's right. The criminals said that since they couldn't find anyone from the Xie family to seek revenge, then killing the son-in-law of the Xie family would also help them vent their anger. Lord, Madam, and Young Master are clearly taking the blame for the Xie family!"

"what?"

Hearing the guard's words, Madam Xiao's face turned pale, as if she couldn't bear such bad news: "How could this happen? Why is my son so miserable! He shouldn't have married this Miss Xie!"

When the guests saw this scene, they looked at Xie Lingxi with a bit of weirdness in their eyes.

It is true that Xie Lingxi is the daughter of the noble Marquis of Changping, but now it seems that she is destined to be a husband-killer!

Fortunately, their original plan to form an alliance with the Marquis of Changping was unsuccessful.

Otherwise, the one who would be unlucky would be his own son.

Xiao Yuanshan noticed everyone's gazes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He then shouted to Madam Xiao, "Don't talk nonsense. This is a marriage arranged by the Emperor. How can you interfere? The most important thing is to ask the doctor to come over first."

The court doctor arrived quickly. He looked at Xiao Yusheng, who was lying unconscious on the cushion, and after a careful examination, he trembled and said:

"My Lord, this is bad. The young master's waist has been injured. I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up again! Not only that, the young master has been poisoned. This poison is quite tricky. Even I can't think of a way to detoxify it..."

"what?"

Hearing this, Madam Xiao fell backwards and fainted.

Xiao Yuanshan also fell into the chair, looking at Xiao Yusheng with sadness in his eyes, and was speechless for a long time.

Xie Lingxi took off the heavy phoenix crown and asked, "House Doctor, are you sure that Xiao Yusheng has injured his waist and will be a useless person who can't stand up and is poisoned and will not live long?"

"This... How can a bride speak like this? This is too much!"

"Yes, it was because of her that Xiao Yusheng suffered such a disaster. Is this how the education in Changping Marquis's Mansion is?"

Everyone was in an uproar, but no one noticed the strange expressions on Xiao Yuanshan and the court doctor's faces after hearing Xie Lingxi's question.

The court doctor met Xie Lingxi's cold eyes and felt a chill in his heart. He inexplicably felt a sense of fear as if he had been seen through. He immediately said in a timid tone:

"Miss Xie, my young master became like this because of you, how can you speak so harshly?"

Xie Lingxi looked around and said, "You are right. Since this matter was caused by me, I really cannot stay out of it."

Xiao Yusheng, who was lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her words, and then he heard her voice again:

"It just so happens that among the people who are escorting me to my wedding this time is Imperial Doctor Lin, so let Imperial Doctor Lin treat Xiao Yusheng!"

The guest was shocked: "What? Doctor Lin? Is it the former chief doctor of the Imperial Hospital?"

"That's right." Xie Lingxi nodded and bowed to the crowd: "Thank you, Imperial Doctor Lin!"

"No need to be polite, Lingxi girl."

As the words fell, an old man with white hair and beard walked out of the crowd and walked towards Xiao Yusheng.

"and many more!"

Just as Xiao Yusheng was sweating from anxiety, Xiao Yuanshan hurried forward to stop Doctor Lin and said, "Since the court doctor has already treated my son, I won't bother Doctor Lin anymore."

"It's just taking your pulse. It's not a big deal. There's no need to be polite, Marquis Cheng'en." Doctor Lin said as he was about to extend his hand.

"No!"

Xiao Yuanshan didn't care about anything else and hurriedly grabbed Doctor Lin's hand.

If Imperial Doctor Lin really diagnosed that Xiao Yusheng was faking it, then they would be finished.

Damn it, what are these Xie family members thinking? Why would they let an old guy like Doctor Lin come to marry them?

Seeing that Xiao Yuanshan was in a hurry, he did not hesitate to push Doctor Lin.

Xie Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward to block Lin Taiyi, and raised her voice slightly: "Why did the Marquis do this? Lin Taiyi is very skilled in medicine. With him helping, wouldn't he be able to treat Xiao Yusheng better?"

"Or... Is there any secret about Xiao Yusheng that cannot be known to others?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yuanshan's expression suddenly changed in shock, and Xiao Yusheng, who was lying there pretending to be unconscious, was so frightened that his whole body went cold.

Damn it, this bitch Xie Lingxi, why is she so difficult to deal with?

After what happened today, they will definitely give this bitch a good beating.

"Xie Lingxi, stop talking nonsense. Our Xiao family is the Marquis of Cheng'en Mansion appointed by the Emperor. We can tell everyone everything. How can there be any shameful secret?"

Xiao Yuanshan explained sternly.

However, the guests present were not fools, and his behavior of stopping Doctor Lin from treating Xiao Yusheng was extremely abnormal.

After being pointed out by Xie Lingxi, it was clear to anyone with a discerning eye that he was just a coward.

So...what secrets does Xiao Yusheng have?
