After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Seeing Cui Rongrong agreed, Xie Xiulin's eyes flashed with light, and he quickly took her hand and said, "Let's go! It's getting dark, and the fire dragon show is about to begin. If we go early, we can get a good front row seat!"

"Ah."

Cui Rongrong stood up, and Xie Xiulin quickly handed her a soft cloak, saying with great concern, "Although the days in spring are warm, the nights are still chilly. Sister, put on the cloak and don't catch a cold."

Without waiting for Cui Rongrong to react, Xie Xiulin had already skillfully helped her put on the cloak, with an unquestionable tenderness in his movements.

"Where did you get this cloak?"

Cui Rongrong asked doubtfully.

"I thought of bringing it with me when I went out, fearing that my sister would forget to bring it, so I specially prepared two."

Xie Xiulin said with a smile as she pulled out two soft, brightly colored cloaks from an exquisitely embroidered cloth bag, her eyes full of meticulous care for Xu Cui Rongrong.

Xie Xiulin also put on a cloak, hers was a dark green one, the deep color seemed to hide her unknown thoughts, while Cui Rong's was a bright red one, like a burning flame, which set off her fair face, making her look even more radiant and charming.

When the two people stand together, the contrast of colors is particularly eye-catching.

For some reason, Cui Rongrong vaguely felt that Xie Xiulin was different today than usual, as if something was not right, but she tried hard to search in her mind but could not find the source of that strangeness.

Perhaps, it was because the recent incident involving Prince Zheng had dealt her too heavy a blow, and her emotions had not yet completely calmed down?

At the same time, Xie Xiuyun stood by the carved window, her sharp eyes passing through the gauze curtains, quietly watching the figures of Xie Xiulin and Xu Cui Rong downstairs gradually blending into the crowd and slowly moving towards the East Street where they were watching the fire dragon.

The corners of her mouth curled up into an imperceptible sinister smile, as if she was savoring the show that was about to take place.

"Fortunately, Third Aunt stopped her and didn't let Seventh Miss get into any accidents. Now it seems that it was the right decision to keep her."

The maid Hongliu had a flattering smile on her face and her tone was full of flattery.

Her eyes were fixed on Xie Xiuyun, afraid of missing any reaction from her master.

"This guy is still somewhat useful."

Xie Xiuyun raised her chin slightly, with a look of disdain and arrogance, as if she was talking about nothing more than a disposable tool.

Looking back, when the Third Aunt discovered the affair between Xie Xiulin and Prince Zheng, she wanted to make it public immediately so that this concubine sister who brought shame to the family would receive the punishment she deserved, but she was stopped by the Third Aunt.

The third concubine's reason was that Xie Xiulin had a close relationship with Xu Cuirong, and keeping her might have unexpected value.

Therefore, Xie Xiulin's secret was like an invisible chain that bound her tightly in their hands.

"Where's Xie Xiuzhu?"

Xie Xiuyun asked again in a cold tone, obviously having no feelings for this half-sister.

"She has been looking forward to the fire dragon show for a long time. After watching the Flower God Parade, she couldn't wait to rush to East Street. Don't worry, miss. I have arranged for Zhang San to follow her secretly. She can't escape even if she has wings."

Hongliu's answer was full of confidence.

Hearing this, Xie Xiuyun's smile became more obvious, showing the pride of victory in sight.

"After today, the bitch Xu Cui Rong will disappear from the face of the earth, and Xie Xiuzhu is no exception!"

Her plan finally came to an end.

"Young lady is really smart. She chose to act when watching the fire dragon, which is the Fifth Young Lady's favorite activity. She also wore a red cloak tonight. When it gets dark, the horse thieves can't see the face of the person. They only know to catch the woman in red. They would rather catch the wrong person than let her go. Fifth Young Lady and Xu Cui Rongrong will not be able to escape tonight."

Hongliu's words were full of admiration.

"Those horse thieves are Jiang Xuejun's men. What do they have to do with me? I am just taking this opportunity to get rid of Xie Xiuzhu, the obstacle."

There was a vicious light flashing in Xie Xiuyun's eyes.

To her, Xie Xiuzhu was not just a minor character that she could easily get rid of, but the thorn in her heart that she most wanted to remove!

Although Xu Cui Rongrong was born in a humble family and could hardly stir up much trouble, Xie Xiuzhu was different. She was the darling of the Xie family, the legitimate daughter of the main wife, her father was a powerful figure, and her brother was the famous Song Yanyi in Yanjing.

As long as Xie Xiuzhu exists, she, Xie Xiuyun, will never have a place in the Xie family.

Those powerful and wealthy children only have eyes for Xie Xiuzhu, who would even look at her?

As the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, why does she have to live under the shadow of others?

Thinking of this, Xie Xiuyun tightly grasped the silk handkerchief in her hand, her face distorted with excitement: "As long as Xie Xiuzhu dies, I will be the only legitimate daughter of the Xie family, and all the glory and attention will belong to me."

Without Xie Xiuzhu's obstruction, the burden of the wealthy marriage will naturally fall on her shoulders! Thinking of the future, Xie Xiuyun couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and raise her chin high, with an imposing manner.

However, a trace of worry appeared on Hong Liu's face: "But the Jiang family's goal is only to target Xu Cui Rongrong. Miss deliberately put the fifth lady in danger. If the Jiang family knows about it, will it be disadvantageous to us?"

"What can I do if I know? It's not like I ordered the bandits to capture the wrong person. Women captured by bandits, no matter what their background is, will have the same fate. Those bandits are cruel. Once you fall into their hands, even the daughter of a famous family will not be able to escape the fate of being humiliated. By the time the Jiang family found out, Xie Xiuzhu's reputation had already been ruined. Which wealthy family would be willing to accept such a daughter-in-law?"

There was a hint of cruelty in Xie Xiuyun's sneer.

"Besides, I helped Jiang Xuejun solve such a big problem, so I have to give her something in return. I helped her get rid of Xu Cui Rongrong, and she helped me get rid of Xie Xiuzhu. We both got what we wanted."

Xie Xiuyun already had a plan in mind.

At this moment, an old carriage slowly drove over and stopped outside the Mingxiang Teahouse.

The coachman Qing'an knew that the people sitting in the teahouse were his cousin and the much-anticipated Seventh Miss, enjoying the lively Flower Goddess Parade.

Song Yanyi stepped off the carriage lightly and walked into the teahouse.

His arrival surprised Xie Xiuyun, who had been waiting by the window, and she quickly went to greet him: "Brother? Why are you here?"

Song Yanyi looked past her and asked softly, "Are you alone here?"

"Originally, my seventh sister and cousin were both here, but then the Flower Goddess Parade started and I unconsciously went downstairs to join in the fun. When I came back, they were gone. Maybe they finished watching the parade and went back home first."

Xie Xiuyun smiled brightly, trying to hide her inner panic.

"I want to go home too. Brother, are you going back home now? Let's go together."

Her proposal was full of anticipation.

"I still have some things to take care of."

Song Yanyi's answer was simple and plain.

Xie Xiuyun's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered and nodded tactfully: "Then I'll go first, big brother."
