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

Having said that, Xie Lingxi looked at Ge's slightly haggard face and was indeed a little worried, so she lowered her voice and spoke.

"Aunt, let's go over and talk."

After saying this, he helped Ge to a deserted place without further ado.

Xie Zhibai and Master Yang thought it was just a topic between women and did not follow it.

Xie Lingxi even sent the maid away. Seeing that her elder brother and Master Yang did not follow her, she looked serious and spoke in a very solemn manner.

"Aunt, I am still a virgin and don't know much about pregnancy, but looking at your face, you don't look healthy. Don't be angry, I just said this because I am worried about you, I don't mean anything else."

Ge also knew that Xie Lingxi was concerned about her, and said with a smile.

"Girl, you care about me, how could I be angry? You are right, my body is not good. I had difficulty getting pregnant before, and I consulted many doctors to get this baby..."

Having said this, Mrs. Ge couldn't help but put her hand on her belly, and glanced at Master Yang not far away, her face full of anticipation.

"I won't hide it from you. I just want to have a child like your uncle, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, just one is good. But my body is really not good enough, so I waited until this old age to have this child."

"To be honest, over the years, it's not that no one has thought of sending women to your uncle, so that he can take more concubines and expand his family. Although the Yang family is harmonious, they also attach great importance to the issue of offspring."

"If your uncle hadn't stated that he wouldn't take a concubine, I'm afraid I would have become a legitimate mother by now. Just because he took on so much pressure for me and vowed to never take a concubine, I have to give birth to a child to make those people who laugh at me shut up!"

Although Xie Lingxi disagreed with Ge's idea of ​​"having a child just to save face".

But I also know that people are different. I don’t understand them, but I respect them.

What's more, now that Ge is pregnant, I can't let her have an abortion, right?

If he really wanted to do good for Ge, he would have to work hard to protect Ge and the child, so Xie Lingxi made up a story.

"Don't worry, auntie. You are in good health. But being pregnant is different from being an ordinary woman. My mother once told me about her experience when she was pregnant."

"Although my mother was in good health, her pregnancy was not smooth. She said there was a prescription that could not only nourish the fetus but also ensure a smooth delivery."

"I'll go back and ask my mother for it, and then give it to my aunt. It will save you some pain during childbirth!"

Mrs. Ge felt a little embarrassed. After all, no one would normally tell others about these recipes for pregnancy, nurturing and childbirth. Only people who were close to the relationship would reveal them to each other.

Xie Lingxi was so concerned that Mrs. Ge was really touched. She wanted to refuse but couldn't say it. She really wanted the child to be safe, so she didn't refuse. She pulled Xie Lingxi and talked seriously.

"Lingxi, you are such a lovely girl. I won't be polite to you. Thank you. You must come to my house to play in a few days. When you go back, you must bring good news to Madam Xie and tell her that I thank her. You call me aunt, so Madam Xie is my sister!"

Xie Lingxi smiled and said, "Of course!"

The two of them exchanged some private words before Xie Lingxi followed her brother and left, looking back every few steps.

Then she went to the small garden in the side courtyard of the academy. This should be the place where her brother arranged for her to meet the fifth prince.

After all, there were no outsiders around, and there was a guard every few steps. If an outsider broke in, he would probably be scared away by the atmosphere.

Just as Xie Lingxi was about to enter the archway, her brother called her.

"Lingxi, wait!"

Xie Lingxi paused and turned back in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Seeing her elder brother's hesitant expression, Xie Lingxi was confused and suddenly had some bad guesses, and said worriedly.

"Brother, didn't the Fifth Prince say anything? Is the Fifth Prince angry?"

Knowing that his sister had misunderstood, Xie Zhibai quickly denied it: "No."

He pulled his sister away from the doorway and whispered.

"Sister, the one who wants to see you today is indeed the Fifth Prince, but the one waiting inside now is Prince Chen."

"King Chen!"

Xie Lingxi was surprised.

Xie Zhibai was also helpless. It was because the Xiao family was like a dog-skin plaster that he had to work hard to get rid of it, and Prince Chen also contributed. He couldn't let his sister remember all the favors for the Fifth Prince.

As a friend, Xie Zhibai really didn't want his sister to be unaware of everything Prince Chen had done.

So he took the initiative to tell Prince Chen about the Fifth Prince's help and gave him a reminder.

Of course, I also want to ask King Chen for help.

After all, Xie Zhibai didn't know much about the Fifth Prince. If Prince Chen was willing to reveal a thing or two, at least meeting the Fifth Prince today would give him more confidence.

Prince Chen was obviously very worried, so he took the initiative to ask to meet with his sister before the Fifth Prince came.

As for the reason, it was simply because he was worried that his sister would not be able to reach an agreement with the Fifth Prince and would offend the Fifth Prince, so he came here to cover for his sister.

Since Prince Chen was so attentive, Xie Zhibai didn't want his sister to be unaware of what his friend had done. Even if the two of them couldn't succeed in the end, his sister had to know about the help Prince Chen had given her.

Today's meeting,

It is to thank the prince for giving Prince Chen an opportunity.

He coughed twice and whispered.

"Lingxi, actually, the reason why the Prince of Chen came back from the border this time was because of your wedding to Xiao Yusheng, and the fact that Xiao Yusheng was beaten and crippled was actually done by the Prince of Chen."

Xie Zhibai tried to state the facts as objectively as possible and did not take it upon himself to tell Xie Lingxi about Prince Chen's feelings.

After listening to this, Xie Lingxi opened her eyes slightly, but she didn't think about herself. After all, she and Prince Chen really had no intersection, so she asked subconsciously.

"Then we have to thank Prince Chen, but why did Prince Chen also come to meet the Fifth Prince this time? Is he worried about my eldest brother?"

He would never worry about me even if he was worried about ghosts!

Xie Zhibai was choked and said with a forced smile.

"No, I am a grown man after all. Why would the King of Chen worry about me? At most, the Fifth Prince will get angry and beat me up. This time the King of Chen came here because he was worried about you. He wanted to see you, and probably wanted to ask you what you wanted to say to the Fifth Prince so that he could be prepared."

"This...I can't say..."

Xie Lingxi spoke helplessly.

Seeing his sister's embarrassed look, Xie Zhibai stopped asking any more questions. After all, his sister hadn't even told him everything, so it seemed understandable that she didn't want to tell Prince Chen.

Xie Zhibai felt inexplicably balanced, so he quickly changed his tone.

"Forget it. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Just do what you want. But the Prince of Chen helped you and our Xie family after all. We should remember this favor. You can express your gratitude later."

Seeing that her elder brother did not press her about the Fifth Prince's biological mother, Xie Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief and her expression softened a lot.
