The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

"you you……"

Xie Yumo suddenly froze, her face turning extremely pale in an instant.

escape!

Being stared at by those cold eyes, Xie Yumo had only this one thought in her mind.

But his heels seemed to be nailed to the ground and he couldn't move at all.

"Husband?"

Just when Xie Yumo was about to scream, Xie Yuantang's voice suddenly came from the front.

With just one name, the terrifying murderous aura on Situ Yan's body disappeared instantly, and he turned back into the simple, harmless and stupid Fifth Prince.

"My lady, wait for me!"

It was not until Situ Yan ran far away that Xie Yumo recovered from the feeling of suffocation.

She looked at Situ Yan's silly look and frowned in confusion.

Was she overthinking just now?

Just a fool.

……

The group returned to the main hall, but Madam Xie did not show up.

Xie Zhaoqing explained: "My mother is old and has not been feeling well recently. It is not suitable for her to see guests. Please forgive me, father-in-law."

Even though the fifth prince Situ Yan, who had a more noble status, was here, he explained to Qu Pei.

Xie Yuantang sneered in his heart, but pretended to be surprised and said, "Grandma is sick? Then I have to go see her later."

"Husband, you don't know, when I was at home, my grandmother was very kind to me!"

The kind that involves both beating and scolding is better.

“Puff…cough cough cough cough!!!”

I took a sip of a cup of tea and sprayed half of it!

Xie Zhaoqing put down the teacup with trembling hands and looked at Xie Yuantang in shock.

What nonsense are you talking about?

good for you?

It was she who suggested letting you get married for good fortune!

Xie Zhaoqing put the teacup back on the table, cleared his throat and said, "Today is your wedding day. You are young and weak, so don't go to see him, lest you get sick."

Xie Yuantang blinked, his little face full of filial worry: "It's okay, I'm not afraid."

Xie Zhaoqing: "..." You are not afraid, but I am afraid!

Ever since he knew that his daughter had survived the wedding and had made the emperor very happy, his heart began to beat fast whenever he looked at his daughter!

"Really, that's not necessary. Your grandmother just took the medicine and must have gone to bed by now."

"Really? That's such a pity!"

Xie Yuantang thought of the old woman's face when she beat and scolded the original owner, and his young face was full of regret.

Is it not a pity?

She had already prepared a program, guaranteed to make the old immortal so mad that his soul would ascend to heaven and his three spirits would return to the earth, but the old hag pretended to be sick and couldn't come out!

As they were talking, Wei Lian and Xie Yumo, who were walking at the end, finally arrived.

As soon as the two entered the room, they saw Xie Yuantang sitting high in the main seat. His small body couldn't even reach the ground with his feet, but he could still look at them so arrogantly.

A flash of jealousy flashed across Xie Yumo's eyes. She was the only one who could do this in the past!

How can I be worthy of Xie Yuantang, this bastard!

"Ah! Why are you staring at me like that, little sister?"

Xie Yuantang seemed to have just noticed Xie Yumo's look. He exclaimed and turned to look at Situ Yan and Qu Pei. His pale face was full of panic and fear.

"My husband, Master Qu, is my sister going to beat Tangtang again? Tangtang is so scared~"

Xie Yumo, Wei Lian, Xie Zhaoqing: "!"

Xie Yumo was so angry that she almost jumped up and down: "Who hit you? Xie Yuantang, don't lie!"

And beat her again?

Who are you deliberately implying?

Xie Yuantang seemed to be frightened by Xie Yumo. She shrank back tremblingly and grabbed Situ Yan's sleeve: "Husband, I'm scared~"

"Don't be afraid, lady. I won't let her beat you!"

Situ Yan glared at Xie Yumo: "Why are you being so mean to my wife?"

"I……"

Xie Yumo was about to curse back, but when she remembered the look Situ Yan had given her before, her voice paused and she suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

During the whole process, Qu Pei frowned and looked at Xie Yumo with an increasingly unhappy expression.

He was given by the emperor to Situ Yan and Xie Yuantang, so naturally he was on the side of his own prince and the princess, and he clearly saw the vicious and jealous look in Xie Yumo's eyes just now.

They dared to do this in front of him, which shows how they treated Xie Yuantang in the past.

Looking at the unhealed whip wound on Xie Yuantang's face, Qu Pei felt even more distressed for his little imperial concubine. Without thinking, he snorted coldly, "How dare you! You didn't even show respect to His Highness and the princess, and you even dared to make a scene in public. Does Second Miss Xie look down on the royal family?"

"How can I..."

"Yumo, why don't you kneel down and salute?"

Just as Xie Yumo was about to explain herself, she was scolded by Xie Zhaoqing.

Xie Yuantang blinked and looked at her, and said crisply: "My sister's brain is not working well, so it's normal for her to forget the etiquette."

"Ah! I just fell on my butt. I guess my legs and feet are not in good condition. It's okay. Just kneel down slowly. Don't worry. Sister will wait for you."

Xie Yumo: “…”

You have a bad brain! You have a bad leg!

Xie Yumo waited angrily for Xie Yuantang, and reluctantly followed Wei Lian to kneel down: "Greetings to His Highness, and to the Crown Princess."

Xie Yuantang lowered his head and drank tea.

Xie Yumo raised her voice: "Greetings, Your Highness, the Crown Prince's Consort!"

Xie Yuantang lowered his head and ate the cake.

Xie Yumo: "Xie Yuantang! You did this on purpose!"

Xie Yuantang put down the cake and looked up at Qu Pei, his big black eyes were very smart: "Eunuch, I am young, and my husband doesn't remember the palace rules very well. I wonder if my sister is doing this in accordance with the rules?"

Qu Pei also couldn't stand Xie Yumo's domineering attitude, so he immediately followed Xie Yuantang's words and said, "It is against the rules to offend your superiors."

"What should we do?"

"According to the law, thirty lashes."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.

Xie Yumo didn't expect Xie Yuantang to punish her with a stick. She gritted her teeth in anger and said, "Xie Yuantang, how dare you!"

"Yumo, you are not allowed to be rude to your sister."

Xie Zhaoqing frowned and scolded, then said to Qu Pei: "Don't blame me, sir. My daughter was just playing with her sister. She didn't mean to be disrespectful."

After a pause, he looked at Xie Yuantang again, and said in a slightly warning voice: "Yuantang, why don't you tell your sister to get up? Don't let the eunuch and the Fifth Prince laugh at you."

As soon as the words fell, Situ Yan, whose name was called, suddenly said, "I'm not laughing at my wife!"

"She bullied my wife, and she was the bad one. Why didn't you punish her, but instead said that my wife would be laughed at?"

He seldom said such a long sentence, but for a moment Xie Zhaoqing was unable to refute anything.

Qu Pei watched from the side, with a look of relief in his eyes.

Xie Yuantang had a calm expression from beginning to end, and looked at the family with his big eyes as if he was watching a play.

Not until she heard Situ Yan's words did she blink her long eyelashes, curl her lips slightly and smiled.

"Yuan Tang, why don't you let your sister get up?" Xie Zhaoqing urged again.

"No~"

Xie Yuantang shook her head, the twin buns on her head swaying cutely: "My father said that he wants Eunuch Qu to help me and my husband set the rules. My father asked me to let my sister go. Am I going to disobey the emperor's order?"

Xie Zhaoqing froze suddenly.

Xie Yuantang said to Qu Pei again: "Eunuch, she is my sister after all. Thirty strokes of the cane are too severe. It is better to change it to a slap on the face."

"Just compare it to the whip wound on my face and make it exactly the same."
