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

"elder sister……"

Xie Yumo looked at Xie Yuantang pitifully. She staggered as if she couldn't hold on any longer and whispered, "Sister, can you give me some water? I'm so thirsty. Please, sister..."

This frail and pitiful appearance immediately aroused the leniency of the people.

"Little Princess, just give the child a sip of water first!"

"Yes, no matter how deep the hatred is, we are still a family after all!"

Listening to the discussions around him, Xie Yuantang watched Xie Yumo's performance and couldn't help but sigh:

What a delicate little white flower in full bloom!

What a pity, her favorite thing to do is to destroy flowers!

Xie Yuantang blinked his eyelashes, frowned slightly, and said with a tone that was three parts chilling, four parts sad, and three parts choked with sobs: "Sister, are you begging me?"

"With our relationship, you're begging me?"

Xie Yumo was dumbfounded, and for a moment she couldn't catch up with the situation, she said blankly: "I..."

Xie Yuantang took two steps back in pain, holding his chest and said, "I wanted to give my heart to the Xie family, but you are so distant with me. Are you shortening my life by asking for a word?"

Situ Yan also frowned and said coldly: "My wife didn't say she won't give you water, what the hell are you begging for!"

Xie Yumo: “…”

The people around, who had already been moved by Xie Yumo's performance, came to their senses after hearing these words.

"Yes, the little imperial concubine didn't say she wouldn't give it to her, so why is she begging for it? It's as if the little imperial concubine is torturing her on purpose."

"And no one ever stopped them. If she was thirsty, wouldn't she ask the servants to buy tea from the teahouse across the street?"

"She just stood at the door pretending to be pitiful! Tsk, I felt sorry for her just now, ugh!"

Xie Yumo's cheeks twitched slightly, and she dug her nails into her flesh to hold back from exploding.

She raised her little face, showing a flattering smile, took two steps forward, grabbed Xie Yuantang's sleeve and said, "Then Yumo will thank you, sister. Yumo can't speak, sister, please don't be angry with Yumo, okay?"

Xie Yuantang smiled slightly, raised his little hand, patted Xie Yumo's cheek and said, "How could my sister be angry with you?"

Xie Yumo's face was swollen from being slapped by her, but she had no choice but to avoid it, and she was really thirsty: "Sister, where's the water?"

"Hey--"

Xie Yuantang sighed, shook her head and said, "Sister also wants to give you some water, but I'm afraid that if you drink the water, you will die."

Wei Lian couldn't stand it any longer: "If the princess doesn't want to give water, just say so. Why bother making up these ridiculous excuses?"

Xie Yuantang didn't explain, just shook his head and waved his little hand.

Yan Feng immediately came out carrying a large wooden barrel of jasmine herbal tea, and Yan Mo and Hong Ju also brought many cups.

Xie Yuantang: "But if I remember correctly, my sister and Wei Lian should be under house arrest, right? Eunuch Qu has reported this to my father. Now that you two have rashly left the house, you are already disobeying the emperor's order. If you make a scene and drink tea here, I wonder if my father will think that you are disobeying the emperor's order and deliberately despising his grace."

Wei Lian, Xie Yumo: "..."

After Xie Yuantang finished speaking, he smiled and said, "The tea is here, go and drink if you want."

Xie Yumo looked at the sweet-smelling herbal tea, swallowed thirstily, and said with difficulty: "I, I don't want to drink it anymore."

Wei Lian also quickly pulled Xie Yumo and kept shaking her head: "That's right, we don't want to drink anymore."

Xie Yuantang raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Hongqiu, who was standing beside him, held cups of herbal tea and handed them to the crowd: "Everyone must be thirsty after standing for so long. This is the jasmine tea specially prepared by our prince's wife. Let's moisten our throats."

Eat melon and drink tea?

Who could refuse this?

The common people took the tea one by one and praised with a smile: "The little princess is so kind, this tea is so delicious!"

"Oh, it really quenches my thirst!"

Xie Yumo licked her cracked lips and glared at Xie Yuantang hatefully.

Wei Lian couldn't help it anymore. She wanted to apologize quickly and go home to drink two big bowls of water!

"Princess, we are here today to apologize to you. We were wrong that day, but it is a small matter. We are all family. Please forgive us."

"Sister, please forgive me!"

Xie Yuantang tilted his head and didn't respond. Instead, he looked at the two boxes of dowry behind them and asked, "Is this for me?"

A sneer appeared on Wei Lian's lips.

Sure enough, this little bitch still cares about money the most!

She smiled appropriately and said, "This is the dowry the Prime Minister gave you. The Master has always thought of you, and all he gave you are the finest gifts."

"is it?"

Xie Yuantang turned around and told Yan Feng: "Go open it and take a look."

Wei Lian’s smile froze.

Why did you open it in public?

However, before she could stop him, Yan Feng strode forward and opened both mahogany boxes.

Suddenly, two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were exposed in front of everyone.

"Wow, the Prime Minister is really good to the little princess. The dowry is so rich!"

"It's so bright, it blinds my poor dog eyes!"

Wei Lian heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Princess, please have someone carry the dowry into the palace quickly..."

"This is fake!"

Before she could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by Yan Feng.

Yan Feng poked the box with the hilt of his sword, pulling out a shallow layer of jewels on top, and pointed to the exposed layer below and said, "Princess, only the shallowest layer on top is gold and silver. The bottom is completely empty. It's not easy to see because of the wooden board."

Wei Lian suddenly froze, and Xie Yumo beside her was also stunned.

Xie Yuantang was shocked, covering his mouth with a look of pain and disappointment: "How is this possible? Why would Daddy do this to me?"

"That's right, what's wrong with the Prime Minister? He actually used such means."

"Well, he just can't bear to part with that little bit of money, and he still wants to save face, so he uses this trick, it's really disgusting!"

Xie Yuantang took two steps back and almost fell, but Situ Yan supported her and said, "My lady, be careful."

The big eyes blinked, and the crystal little pearls fell instantly.

Xie Yuantang shook his head and said, "No, Daddy would never do this to me, could it be..."

She pointed at Wei Lian and Xie Yumo in surprise and said, "Could it be that you coveted my dowry and deliberately used this method to sow discord between me and my father?"

"how is this possible?"

"not us!"

Xie Yumo and Wei Lian denied it in unison, but unfortunately their denials seemed powerless in the face of the hard evidence.

Disgusted by everyone's accusations, Xie Yumo could no longer endure it and ran away crying, stomping her feet.

"Yumo..."

Wei Lian called out twice, and worriedly asked the servants to follow her.

Then he turned to Xie Yuantang and said, "Princess, this dowry... must have been wrong. I promise to investigate it when I get back."

"You'd better find out, otherwise I can only think that you embezzled the things my mother left me."

Xie Yuantang snorted coldly and took out a list from his arms: "In order to avoid such misunderstandings from happening again, you should take this gift list back. This is written by my mother herself. It contains all the dowry she brought into the Xie Mansion. I hope to see all these things appear in the prince's mansion tomorrow."

"If one of them is missing, I can only go to my father to seek justice. After all, it was my father who ordered me to make up for my dowry."
