The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

Xie Wei was held in his mother's arms and comforted by her gentle voice.

There was no sign of panic on his face, and he didn't seem to be frightened by what happened today. Instead, he tried to comfort his mother.

But the more he did this, the sadder Xie's mother became, and the more disgusted and resentful she became towards the people in the third house.

Xie's mother also came from a scholarly family and would not do such a thing as insulting others. Although she was very emotional, she was able to keep a straight face and not show too much in front of her children.

Xie Wei soon realized that the more he tried to persuade his mother, the sadder she seemed. He felt distressed at such a young age. Thinking about his father and grandparents in the front yard who didn't know how to argue with the people who secretly harmed him, he suddenly felt a headache.

After a moment, Xie Wei suddenly had an idea and asked, "Mother, I met the eleventh princess today."

Mother Xie paused for a moment before she said, "Yes, it was that little princess. Did she tell you anything?"

Xie Wei shook his head: "She only asked about my name and family background, but didn't say anything else."

As he spoke, Xie Wei was worried that his mother would start to feel sad again, so he quickly asked, "Mom, I heard that the Eleventh Princess is very powerful, but when I saw her today, she is indeed beautiful, but she doesn't seem to be different from others."

Mother Xie was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said first: "You can't say such things casually. If people find out, it would be bad if they accuse you of slandering the Heavenly Family."

Although she said that, Mother Xie looked around and made sure that everyone in the room was her own people before she continued to say to Xie Wei, "That prince... is a few years younger than you, but when he talked to you and me, he was very analytical and didn't act like a child. This is already unusual."

Xie Wei was puzzled: "But I..."

Xie's mother's mouth twitched, and she quickly said, "You have been smart since you were young, and you can't be compared with ordinary children."

If Li Qingyi's intelligence since childhood was an external one without the help of Meng Po's soup, then Xie Wei was truly a child prodigy who was born with knowledge.

It's just that the Xie family did not publicize Xie Wei's intelligence, nor did they deliberately hide it. It was just that Xie Wei had little contact with outsiders when he was an infant. It was not until he was enlightened and had more contact with the outside world that he became known as a child prodigy.

The Xie family didn't deliberately guide their child to become like ordinary people. Brains are something that is innate. The Xie family just needs to make sure that he doesn't waste this talent and doesn't develop a bad character. But there is no need to deliberately let Xie Wei think that he is the same as an ordinary child.

Xie Wei: "...Brother is also very smart."

Doesn’t Xie Wei understand?

No, he just said these things on purpose to divert Xie's mother's attention.

Fortunately, Xie's mother probably really thought it was more important to correct Xie Wei's misunderstanding of herself, so she seriously explained it to Xie Wei.

Xie Wei looked at his mother who was explaining to him seriously, and felt slightly relieved: That's great, it's good that mother doesn't think about those bad things. Anyway, father is back, and he can just let him deal with anything.

Xie Chengyao: A-choo.

——————————————————————————————

It should have been difficult for Li Qingyi in the palace to know what happened in the Xie family tonight.

But before going to sleep, Li Qingyi tossed and turned in bed, and from time to time Xie Wei's delicate little face and his well-behaved appearance when he was unconscious appeared in his mind, and he always felt a little worried.

Li Qingyi asked the system: [Xiao Ba, do you think Xie Wei is healthy? ]

It would be such a pity if such a well-behaved and lovely child had his brain damaged or his roots injured because of such a bad person!

The system just watched Li Qingyi tossing and turning on the bed silently, and after hearing this, it explained: [After the Xie family took Xie Wei back, they invited another famous doctor to see Xie Wei. The famous doctor said that the old doctor treated him very well, and Xie Wei was well-fed and one of the healthiest children. At most, he might be a little sleepy in the next few days, but there would be no other sequelae.]

Li Qingyi said "oh", and after a while, asked again: "Has the Xie family found out who did this?"

The system looked at the intelligence database and said to Li Qingyi: [It has been found out, but if the host wants to know, it will cost 200 energy. Although there are quite a few people who know about this, they are all insiders of the Xie family, so it cannot be free.]

200 energy...

Li Qingyi thought about it and nodded.

She was quite curious about this matter.

System: [Purchase successful.]

System: [Xie Caiying did it.]

Li Qingyi was silent for a while after hearing this, and a question mark popped up in his head: [Is there any conflict between Xie Caiying and Xie Wei? ]

After a pause, Li Qingyi calculated in his mind again and became even more confused: [Based on the generation, Xie Wei should be Xie Caiying's nephew, right? What does she want to do by having her nephew kidnapped and sold for no reason? ]

System: [It is not written here what Xie Caiying was thinking, but two reasons were listed as the reasons why Xie Caiying did this. One is that Xie Caiying accidentally found out that the third son was not the biological son of the deceased Mr. Xie, but an adopted son.]

[Second, since Xie Wei was born, he has always been treated very well in the Xie family, better than Xie Caiying herself. She often beat and scolded the maids around her because of this matter in private, but smiled at Xie Wei and Xie Wei's mother, her sister-in-law, in public.]

At this point, the system paused for a moment and proposed a hypothesis: [Maybe he has been a two-faced person for too long and has some psychological problems. ]

Li Qingyi: […Although it’s not nice for me to say this, isn’t this kind of thing very common in this era? ]

Li Qingyi: [Besides, Xie Caiying already knows that the third child is not the Xie family's biological child. Shouldn't she be grateful that she is still well-fed and well-clothed in the Xie family? Xie Caiying knew about this and instead attacked Xie Wei... What's wrong with this logic? ]

Having said this, Li Qingyi became more and more unable to sleep. However, he did not want to get up and disturb the palace guards who were on night watch. He could only suppress the urge in his heart and lie obediently on the bed, talking to the system with his eyes closed.

Li Qingyi: [Let me think about it. It is obvious that she has mental problems. If she didn't have any mental problems, how could ordinary people do anything to a child like Xie Wei? ]

Li Qingyi: [As the eldest son, Xie Wei has a different meaning to the Xie family, so Xie Caiying is...taking revenge, right?]

System: [Maybe.]

System: [Not long after Xie Chengyao returned home, he investigated the matter thoroughly, and even found out everything Xie Caiying had done in the past.]

System: [By the way, the reason why Xie Caiying's merits are negative has also been found. She tortures small animals, and her methods are extremely cruel.]

Li Qingyi was stunned.

How old is Xie Caiying this year? Not yet a marriageable girl, right?

Although Li Qingyi told herself countless times that teenagers in ancient times cannot be compared with teenagers today, and that teenagers in modern times are still children, their psychological age in ancient times must be older, they all knew what they should know, and they cannot really be regarded as children in her concept.

But subconsciously, Li Qingyi still felt sad that such a young child had such a distorted mind.

Li Qingyi murmured: "Isn't it said that the Xie family has a good family tradition?"
