It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Princess Jinghe was not angry when she heard Xie Yunhe's answer, but was disappointed: "Xie Yunhe, other people don't know the situation of Xie's women, but as a woman who was born and raised in Xie's family, don't you know it clearly?"

"I was wrong. I was bewildered and extremely confused. Princess Jinghe, please don't punish the head of the family. He is innocent."

Looking at Xie Yunhe, whose forehead was already broken, Princess Jinghe didn't even have the strength to speak loudly: "Xie Yunhe, do you really want to take the blame for Xie Yunting?"

Xie Yunhe raised his head and looked at Princess Jinghe seriously: "As long as you don't vent your anger on the head of the family, I'm willing to do anything."

"Even if I ask you to die?"

Xie Yunhe trembled and looked slightly to the left, only to see Xie Yunting with his head down, not saying a word.

She bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind, and nodded: "Yes, I am willing to die for the master of the family."

"Confused!"

Princess Jinghe finally couldn't help but get angry: "Xie Yunhe, you are only a few years younger than me. Although you have been trapped in Xie's family, if you were not capable, how could the old guys in Xie's family let you be the mistress? Over the years, although I have not asked about the affairs of Xie's family, every time the spies reported, they said that you managed Xie's family in an orderly manner. This time when Lu Han came with Lin'an, you gave the key to the family to Lu Han without saying a word. You are so generous and selfless to everyone. Even when Xie Yunting made unreasonable demands on you, which ruined your innocence and left his name on your shoulder, you are still begging for him?"

After hearing what Princess Jinghe said, Xie Yunhe was stunned on the spot. She thought the princess was angry because she had been having an affair with the head of the family without telling her.

In the end, she was so disappointed with him?

"Princess Jinghe..."

"Xie Yunting, as the culprit, don't you have anything to say to me?" Princess Jinghe looked at Xie Yunting coldly.

"I have nothing to say. Anyway, the princess has seen it. No matter how I defend myself, it will be in vain." Xie Yunting finished speaking, raised his head slightly, raised his neck, and closed his eyes. "Please give me a quick death, princess."

"Xie Yunting, you want to die, but I won't do what you want." Princess Jinghe sneered and looked at the guard standing at the door, "Dig up all the skeletons in the kitchen and backyard, list them one by one for me, and then go to the Dali Temple and invite Ye Shaoqing."

"Yes."

Hearing that Ye Shaoqing was going to come over, Xie Yunting's eyes flashed with panic: "Princess..."

"Xie Yunting, before Ye Shaoqing arrives at the Xie family, you'd better think about what to say when you meet him." Princess Jinghe smiled at Xie Yunting, turned back to the table and sat down, "Lu Han, add some water for me."

"coming."

Lu Han walked quickly to Princess Jinghe. Although the atmosphere was tense, she couldn't help but say as she handed over the teacup, "Princess, you were so majestic and cool just now."

Princess Jinghe laughed when she heard it: "Whether it's majestic or heroic, it's all the confidence you give yourself. I never believe that marrying a good man can change your fate. Such words are all said by men, just to better control women and make them obedient."

Lu Han nodded: "I understand, relying on men is not as good as relying on my own fists."

"You little girl, your brain works quickly." Princess Jinghe looked at Xie Yunhe who was kneeling and trembling, "Take Xie Yunhe back to her room to change clothes first. There will be outsiders coming later, and it's not appropriate for her to be like this."

"Yes."

Lu Han responded and walked up to Xie Yunhe, with no disdain or disgust in his eyes.

He reached out his hands and helped her up.

On the contrary, Xie Yunhe was frightened just now. The moment she stood up, her legs went limp and she fell on Lu Han: "I'm sorry, I..."

"Fourth aunt, let's go back to the room first."

"it is good."

In the room.

When Lu Han took the clothes and returned to the inner room, he saw Xie Yunhe still sitting there in a daze, so he walked up to her and asked carefully, "Fourth aunt, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask a doctor to come and see you?"

Xie Yunhe was stunned, looked up to meet Lu Hanguan's concerned eyes, and asked in surprise: "Don't you dislike me?"

"How could I possibly dislike Fourth Aunt? After I came to Xie's, I was grateful for Fourth Aunt's help. Otherwise, I would have suffered a lot." Lu Han handed the clothes to Xie Yunhe. "Besides, others don't know the situation of Xie's, but I do. If Fourth Aunt doesn't agree, I will definitely become one of the skeletons in the backyard, or be sold at a low price."

Xie Yunhe's body trembled. She could no longer hold back her emotions, which she had not shown in front of Princess Jinghe just now. Because of Lu Han's words, she could no longer hold back her emotions.

She hugged Lu Han and cried loudly, "I can't help it. I really can't help it. If I don't agree to the Patriarch's request, he will hand me over to the elders. Those elders are so cruel. I once saw with my own eyes that a group of them tortured a little girl. In the end, there was not a single piece of intact flesh on the girl's body. I really can't do anything."

"These old beasts are almost half buried in the ground, yet they are still harming young girls." Lu Han hugged Xie Yunhe tightly, gritting his back teeth, wishing he could grind them into pieces.

"This kind of thing is very common among aristocratic families, because most of the girls sent here come from poor families with older brothers and sisters. If they die, their parents will get a generous reward. After a long time, I don't even need to look for them. Those people will take the initiative to send in the extra girls in their families." Xie Yunhe hugged herself tightly. "When those girls first came in, their eyes were full of longing for a new life, but as soon as they went to the elders' courtyard, their eyes lost their luster and finally became numb. I can't do anything. I am deeply trapped in it. I can't save them."

"Fourth aunt, don't blame yourself. If the families of those girls weren't greedy, they wouldn't have sent their daughters here. It's all human nature after all... If everyone had enough food and clothing, and lived a life of luxury, there wouldn't be so many dirty things in this world." Lu Han wiped the tears from Xie Yunhe's face, "I'll wait for you outside, you should change your clothes quickly."

"Han'er, do you know that Princess Jinghe came here today really because of the dowry issue?" Xie Yunhe asked, grabbing Lu Han's sleeve.

"I don't know." Lu Han shook his head and answered truthfully, "Princess Jinghe is in a high position and has great power. Her thoughts are beyond the reach of a little girl like me."

"That's right, but I don't know how she will treat the head of the family?"

"Fourth aunt, why are you still on Xie Yunting's side? He keeps saying that he wants to break the Xie family's tradition, but in the end, he's just talking big." Lu Han now finally understood why Xie Linan was determined to change the current situation of the Xie family. If he didn't, he would either be tortured to death or commit suicide early.
