I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle
Chapter 9 Who allowed you to eavesdrop here?
Cui Shuyan immediately took a step back and said respectfully, "Granduncle."
"Yeah." After responding, Xie Xingyuan looked coldly at Biyu who was standing behind Cui Shuyan with her ears perked up, and scolded, "Who allowed you to eavesdrop on the master's conversation?"
Biyu was so frightened that she fell to her knees and begged for mercy.
"roll!"
With just one word, Biyu was so frightened that she rolled and crawled to the back.
Cui Shuyan frowned slightly, not knowing what Xie Xingyuan was up to.
He didn't speak, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
Finally, it was Xie Xingyuan who spoke up: "Are you worried about anything recently?"
"To answer my great-uncle's question, no."
With just one sentence, all of Xie Xingyuan's words were blocked.
He said "Oh" and left.
Turning another corner, he saw Mr. Wen waiting there and immediately frowned: "What are you laughing at? Do you want to make your mouth look bigger or your teeth look whiter?"
Mr. Wen felt very aggrieved: "Your Majesty, I didn't laugh."
He really didn't laugh.
Xie Xingyuan glared at him and said unhappily, "Could it be that I am blind?"
"No, you are not blind. It was me who really laughed." Mr. Wen lowered his head and said expressionlessly.
Isn't it just a confession under torture? This is not the first time.
Xie Xingyuan swung his sleeves and said, "She is obviously in trouble, why doesn't she come to me for help?"
Mr. Wen glanced at Xie Xingyuan secretly and asked cautiously, "My Lord, why do they need your help?"
"She and I..." Xie Xingyuan didn't say the rest of the words, but both of them understood.
"Your Majesty, think about it. You are her great-uncle in terms of seniority, and you are an unkind person... If you want to hear the truth, put your fist away!"
Xie Xingyuan silently retracted his clenched fist and put it behind his back.
Mr. Wen then continued, "Because of your majesty, she probably dared not say more. Another possibility is that you denied it when she first came to you. So, she doesn't count on you now. What, you don't suspect that she has ulterior motives towards you now?"
"If she had ulterior motives, she should have taken advantage of these two opportunities to get close to me. However, she didn't."
As he spoke, Xie Xingyuan felt a little annoyed.
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have denied it then.
His back still hurts.
At this time, Mr. Wen came over and glanced at Xie Xingyuan with sharp eyes: "Your Highness, are you interested in Cui?"
"No." Xie Xingyuan said coldly.
Mr. Wen smiled and said nothing.
He has recently begun to have difficulty seeing through his own prince's cunning ways.
Xie Xingyuan glared at him and said, "Handle the follow-up matters and don't let anyone know that she went to see Censor Yan."
"What about Censor Yan..."
"Ignore it."
"If you ignore it, I'm afraid that Censor Yan will make a scene at the morning court."
"Then, let him make trouble." As he said this, the corners of Xie Xingyuan's lips curled up slightly.
Mr. Wen shook his head slightly, this is really crazy.
I’m afraid tomorrow’s morning court will be very exciting.
On the other hand, after meeting Xie Xingyuan by chance, Cui Shuyan planned to take advantage of him.
So she didn't go back to her room, but went straight to Madam Xie's yard.
As soon as they met, Cui Shuyan showed a flustered look: "Mom, I am flustered and want to talk to you for a while."
"What's going on?"
Cui Shuyan touched her chest, as if she was still in shock: "Mother, I just came back and met my great uncle."
When she met Xie Xingyuan, Biyu followed her, and this matter could not be concealed.
Since I can't hide it, I have to make good use of it.
"Why are you so scared when you run into your great uncle?"
"For some reason, my great uncle looked unhappy and asked if Aunt Lin had been behaving well recently."
Madam Xie immediately glanced at Cui Shuyan again, thinking that she was using Xie Xingyuan's name to show off her jealousy and try to suppress Lin Xinrou.
Although she thought so in her heart, Madam Xie said, "With your great uncle's status, why would you ask about Lin?"
"My daughter-in-law also feels strange. Did something happen at the Lin family? Otherwise, there is no reason for my uncle to ask about these things."
"Okay, I'll make note of this. Shuyan, thank you for telling me."
"Mother, you are too polite. My husband and I are one and the same. When it comes to my husband, I will naturally give him some thought."
After saying what needed to be said, Cui Shuyan said goodbye and left.
The necessary groundwork has been done, and it all depends on what happens tomorrow.
After Cui Shuyan left, Madam Xie immediately asked the people around her to investigate.
When she found out that Xie Shaohang had suppressed the Lin family in the name of Xie Xingyuan, Madam Xie was furious and directly asked someone to call Xie Shaohang over from his study.
"Shaohang, how could you be so confused?" Madam Xie slammed the table, heartbroken.
"I wonder why my mother is so angry?"
"Humph!" Madam Xie sneered, "You still want to hide it from me at this time? How dare you use your great uncle's name to suppress the Lin family?"
Seeing that the matter could no longer be hidden, Xie Shaohang stepped forward and advised in a gentle voice: "Mother, this matter is not a big deal. The man's family is only a sixth-rank official, and it is easy to deal with. The Dali Temple will not ask my great uncle about such a small matter, so there will be no problem."
As he spoke, Xie Shaohang diligently massaged Madam Xie's shoulders.
Madam Xie's anger subsided a little: "But Cui Shuyan said that your great uncle asked about Lin's matter. I don't know if he knows anything."
Xie Shaohang's expression darkened. "Mother, you know my great uncle's temper. If he knew about this, he would definitely come to ask his son. Why would he ask Cui instead of his son? In my opinion, Cui is obviously jealous of my treating Rou'er well, so she made up a lie to suppress Rou'er."
"You have a point. But Lin has been too ignorant recently. You will take the imperial examination next month, and now is a critical time, but she frequently goes to your study to disturb you. It's really too much."
"Mother, whenever Rou'er went, it was when my son was tired from studying. She would prepare soup for him and grind ink for him. When my son saw her, all his tiredness disappeared."
These words completely dispelled Mrs. Xie's concerns.
Her expression eased a little: "However, don't ask about Cui's affairs. You should focus on studying now, and not let these trivial matters distract you."
"Son, I understand." Having said that, Xie Shaohang secretly resented Cui Shuyan.
On the other side, after Cui Shuyan returned to her yard, she began to wonder whether there were any loopholes in today's events.
She couldn't put all her hopes on Censor Yan, she had to have a backup plan.
Thinking of this, Cui Shuyan asked Biyu to go to the kitchen to prepare a bowl of soup, intending to personally deliver it to Xie Shaohang's study.
She was determined to accomplish the next thing.
In this way, if Censor Yan is able to perform tomorrow, the punishment Xie Shaohang will receive will be more severe.
If Censor Yan dared not say much due to Xie Xingyuan's power, then her preparation would at least make Xie Shaohang suffer.
Next, it depends on whether she can get it done.
