I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Sure enough, just as Madam Xie said, Cui Shuyan was stopped when she was still ten steps away from the door of the outer courtyard of Songhe Hall.

The guard who stopped them had a blank expression on his face: "Young Madam, this is Songhe Hall."

Songhe Hall is the most special place in the entire Xie Mansion. The masters can enter and exit freely in other places around the mansion except Songhe Hall.

This is the forbidden area of ​​Xie Mansion.

No one can enter without Xie Xingyuan's order.

Even the people guarding Songhe Hall were transferred from the army by Xie Xingyuan, and they were not afraid of other members of the Xie family at all.

Cui Shuyan had already anticipated this scene.

She lowered her eyes and stated the purpose of her visit: "Please inform them that the eldest lady sent me here to take measurements for my great uncle."

"No need."

Being rejected again, Cui Shuyan glanced at Biyu behind her, took a step forward, and whispered to the guard: "Is the prince awake?"

The guards who can guard here are naturally not stupid. Hearing Cui Shuyan say this, they couldn't help but frowned.

It was already noon, and the prince was a hardworking man, so he naturally got up early.

Therefore, the word "wake up" should have other meanings.

The guard's eyebrows twitched, he looked at Cui Shuyan deeply, waved to someone over, and whispered something in his ear.

Soon, the man went in.

Not long after, the messenger came back and whispered a few words in the guard's ear.

At this time, the guard's eyes fell on Cui Shuyan and became much darker: "Young Madam, the prince has ordered that you can go in."

"Okay." After saying that, Cui Shuyan walked inside.

Biyu behind him tried to catch up but was stopped by the guards.

Biyu was anxious.

The guards had cold faces and were unyielding.

Cui Shuyan turned around and asked in a fake tone, "This is my personal maid, can't she go in with me?"

"No." The guard held his sword and said sternly, "Songhe Hall is not a place where just anybody can come in."

"Okay then. Biyu, wait here."

After saying that, Cui Shuyan stepped in.

She was not unfamiliar with Songhetang.

In her previous life, Xie Xingyuan didn’t know whether he noticed something or there were other reasons, but on the first and fifteenth day of every month, Xie Xingyuan ordered her to come to Songhe Hall to pay his respects to him.

If it weren't for this order, she would have been killed by Xie Shaohang and Lin Xinrou long ago.

Thinking of this, Cui Shuyan walked towards the main courtyard of Songhe Hall.

Madam Xie’s courtyard is big enough, but compared with Songhe Hall, it is dwarfed by the big one.

There are rockery, flowing water, pavilions and towers in Songhe Hall, and flowers and trees are planted everywhere. The scenery changes with every step you take.

However, Cui Shuyan was full of thoughts and paid no attention to the surrounding scenery. She just walked along the winding corridor, step by step.

However, she did not notice that the servant who had led the way earlier gradually retreated behind her.

When she came to her senses, the road ahead was blocked.

This man was wearing a sky-blue brocade robe and had a dignified face. He was Xie Xingyuan's close attendant, Mr. Wen.

Mr. Wen had a smile on his face, but his words were not polite at all: "Young Madam, you seem to be very familiar with Songhe Hall?"

Cui Shuyan's heart skipped a beat and she was careless.

Although she had been married into the Xie family for six months, she had never been to Songhe Hall.

Even Xie Xingyuan only met her once on the second day after she got married, when he served him tea in the main hall of Xie Mansion.

Therefore, she should not have been so familiar with Songhe Hall, and she did not notice that the servant who led the way had retreated behind her at some point.

It's really strange that he seems so familiar with the place even though he has never been there before.

However, Cui Shuyan did not show any panic on her face. Instead, she calmly asked, "Is it strange that I am familiar with this place?"

Mr. Wen smiled but said nothing. He just raised his hand and stepped forward: "Please."

What he was pointing to was the direction of the main courtyard of Songhe Hall, where Xie Xingyuan lived.

Cui Shuyan walked through the corridor and entered. Although she had made sufficient preparations, she still couldn't help but shiver when she looked up and saw Xie Xingyuan for the first time.

Xie Xingyuan was only 27 years old, with a handsome face, but his eyes were very mature and steady. When he looked at her, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through her thoughts at a glance.

However, she forced herself to calm down and looked directly at Xie Xingyuan: "My nephew's wife Cui greets my great uncle."

Xie Xingyuan hummed coldly, his voice slightly hoarse: "What are you doing here?"

Cui Shuyan looked directly at Xie Xingyuan and said, "I, your niece-in-law, came here to ask you, uncle, where were you between midnight and dawn last night?"

Xie Xingyuan's expression did not change at all: "Of course it is in my Songhe Hall."

"Aren't there some more marks on my great uncle's body? On his back and chest?"

"No." Xie Xingyuan looked indifferent, and it didn't seem like he was lying at all.

In just a moment, Cui Shuyan panicked.

how could be?

Before she died in her previous life, she clearly heard Xie Shaohang say that the person who consummated her marriage that night was Xie Xingyuan. Even Ze'er was Xie Xingyuan's child.

At that time, Xie Shaohang had no reason to lie.

Could it be that something has changed in my next life?

Since it's not right, let's just put this matter aside for now.

Judging from what happened in her previous life, Xie Xingyuan was her talisman to a certain extent.

So, no matter what, she couldn't let anything happen to Xie Xingyuan.

So, Cui Shuyan continued, "Granduncle, you'd better thoroughly check the people around you, including the things you use. I suspect that you have been poisoned."

If it weren't for the poison, Xie Xingyuan, who was in good health, would not have suddenly become paralyzed.

Even if his old illness relapsed, with Xie Xingyuan's ability, he could definitely find a famous doctor to cure his legs so that he wouldn't be paralyzed in bed for three years.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xingyuan sneered, "Cui, you are really overstepping your authority! My Songhe Hall is not so lax. Come, escort Cui out!"

Mr. Wen immediately walked up to Cui Shuyan and said in a businesslike manner, "Young Madam, please come in."

Seeing that Xie Xingyuan refused to believe her, Cui Shuyan hurriedly said: "You might as well press the Hegu point on your hand to see if it will aggravate the pain somewhere in your body. This Hegu point is used to relieve pain. If the pain worsens after you press it, it means that there is something wrong with your body!"

However, Xie Xingyuan still sat there steadily, his expression did not change at all.

Obviously, he didn't believe what Cui Shuyan said.

That's true. Xie Xingyuan is a powerful figure in the Xie family and even in the court. Such a person thinks he is in control of everything. How could he easily believe her words?

But if he didn't believe it, her situation would be miserable.

Thinking of how Ze'er was strangled to death by Xie Shaohang in the previous life, Cui Shuyan was heartbroken.

At that moment, she gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and decided to just go for it!
