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

Si Jian still disagreed. He could probably guess what Si Ling wanted to do, but hadn't His Highness already refused?

Your Highness's refusal must have his own considerations.

Si Ling acted on his own. Even if he didn't cause trouble for His Highness, he would still cause trouble for himself. It was inappropriate anyway.

So Si Jian was not only unmoved, but also tried to persuade Si Ling.

"If you really want to share His Highness' worries, then do as His Highness says. We cannot cause any trouble in the capital given our current status."

"Otherwise, if the Emperor finds out that Your Highness has returned to the capital without permission, that would be a crime of deceiving the Emperor. The Marquis of Changping's Mansion is in trouble now, so don't make it worse."

Si Ling stared at Si Jian in surprise.

"When did you become so eloquent?"

Having said that, it was rare for Si Jian to refute him with solid arguments, and they made a lot of sense, which choked Si Ling.

In the end, he could only mutter reluctantly.

"I understand. I didn't intend to do anything. I just felt that your highness's sincerity should not be in vain, so Miss Xie must know about it."

"Let's not talk about anything else. If Miss Xie is willing to come to visit the patient, even if it can't make His Highness get better immediately, it can at least make His Highness happy!"

His heart tightened and Si Jian became much stricter.

"I'm warning you. These are troubled times. His Highness doesn't intend to take direct action against the Cheng'en Marquisate. Don't act recklessly, or I will tell His Highness and send you back. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Taking a deep breath, Si Ling curled his lips and said unhappily.

"understood!"

After saying that, he put his hands on his belt and left.

……

In a house located on the outskirts of the capital, the sound of stringed instruments could be heard constantly.

There was wine and food in the pavilion in the backyard, and in the yard was a group of graceful dancers, dancing like butterflies.

Lord Xie's second brother, Xie Yunli, Xie Lingxi's second uncle, was leaning lazily on a mahogany chair at this time.

The face that looked somewhat similar to Xie Yunchuan smelled of alcohol. He looked at the graceful dancer with a smile, shaking his head and laughing.

"Master, have a grape."

At this time, a pretty maid handed the peeled grapes to Xie Yunli's mouth in a flattering manner.

Xie Yunli opened his mouth to take it, then stretched out his hand to stroke the maid's white and tender hand with a lustful look and said with a smile.

"My Xiaoyue is so thoughtful. Come, give me some perfume!"

As he spoke, he leaned over to give her a kiss.

Xiaoyue was reluctant to accept, and dodged while laughing.

When the two were playing together, an unhappy voice sounded -

"Dad, are you here to keep me company or to enjoy yourself?"

The emotion on Xie Yunli's face froze instantly. He looked at his daughter who came over with a big belly supported by a maid, and quickly pushed Xiaoyue away.

He stood up with an awkward smile, rubbing his hands, and walked forward to help her in a flattering manner, coaxing her skillfully.

"Hey, Yu'er, why did you come out? Didn't you say you were tired and wanted to take a nap? In your condition, you need to sleep more to conserve your energy and have strength to give birth to a child."

"Go away!"

Xie Ruyu glared with her beautiful eyes, impatiently opened the hand that Xie Yunli extended to her, and walked to the seat where Xie Yunli had sat in the pavilion with the help of her maid.

Mr. Xie curled his lips, looking a little unhappy.

But looking at Xie Ruyu's belly, he suppressed his displeasure, walked over with a smile, sat at the seat next to her, and personally poured Xie Ruyu a glass of fruit drink.

"Our Yu'er has slept for so long, must you be thirsty? Come, have some fruit water to sweeten your mouth."

Xie Ruyu didn't even look at the cup handed to her. She glanced at the leftovers on the table, then looked at the dancer who was still dancing in the yard. She became more and more impatient and gave instructions to the maid.

"Let them all retreat! What are they dancing for? It's so noisy!"

The maid responded and went over to chase the people away.

The dancers also knew who the real master of this villa was, and they were reluctant to leave. Before leaving, they did not forget to cast a resentful glance at Xie Yunli.

Xie Yunli loved her very much, but his daughter was still here, so he didn't dare to go too far.

He coughed twice and then waved his hand.

"Yes! It's too noisy! Let them go. I told them not to come before the baby in Yu'er's belly came out. Don't be angry, calm down."

Xie Ruyu took a look at his father who was a hopeless case and felt very dissatisfied.

You are pregnant and will have to go through the gates of hell in a few days. It would be fine if you don't help share some of the burden, but how can you still have the mind to sit here and drink and listen to music?

In a word,

Xie Ruyu couldn't bear to see her father so comfortable!

So his words were full of sarcasm.

"Daddy has a really good appetite. Not only does he eat deliciously, but he also has the leisure to listen to music and watch dance. Unlike me, I am pregnant, can't eat or sleep well, and I have to say sweet words to coax brother Yusheng from time to time."

"Otherwise, if Brother Yusheng forgets about me, not only will I have a hard time living a good life, but Dad will also not be able to live such a carefree life in the future."

Hearing that his daughter was deliberately teasing him, Xie Yunli's smile faded a little.

He held his daughter's back and praised her with a shameless face.

"Yu'er has suffered! Daddy was wrong, Daddy knows it all. Yu'er works so hard for Daddy. Don't worry, I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future. I will never cause any trouble for you. Don't be angry, Yu'er."

"As for Xiao Yusheng, you have to be patient for a while. As long as this child is born, our second half of life will be secure. Even if we don't rush to please him, with this child, you can enter the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion openly."

Xie Yunli's eyes were full of calculation.

"Hehe, think more about it in the future. If you can make your child the heir of Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, you will be a proper marquise, tsk tsk——"

Having said this, Xie Yunli seemed quite proud and straightened his back, but as if he remembered something, the pride on his face disappeared a little, replaced by indignation.

He gritted his teeth and complained: "You are more capable than Daddy. Daddy suffered because he was born after Xie Yunchuan. If you are one step slower, your life will be ruined!"

"Xie Yunchuan took all the good things. I, your father, could only eat the leftovers. As time went on, I could only rely on Xie Yunchuan's charity to survive. I also implicated you and your mother..."

"Speaking of your mother, if Xie Yunchuan had been willing to help hire a doctor, your mother wouldn't have passed away. I'm so sorry for you and your mother!"

As Xie Yunli spoke, he began to cry, but after crying for a long time, his tears were just dry.

Xie Ruyu felt depressed whenever she heard these old stories, and she became even more annoyed when she saw Xie Yunli's hypocritical attitude.

But after all, he is his biological father and his only relative. Xie Ruyu could not stand it but could only accept it and cursed him angrily.

"That's enough! Stop talking! I won't let their family have an easy life. As for you, what's the point of saying these things after the fact?"

Xie Yunli stopped crying instantly and wiped the tearless corners of his eyes awkwardly.

"You're right. It's useless for Dad to say these things. Anyway, Yu'er is capable and can deal with them severely!"
