After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock.

I heard that the prince has always been cold and taciturn, and even when talking to the empress dowager and the queen, he is always concise and to the point. He can only talk incessantly when it comes to court affairs. Now he actually said so many words in one breath, which is simply unbelievable.

Even the Queen Mother was quite shocked and couldn't help but look up to Xie Mishuang.

Some of the other young ladies from aristocratic families were jealous, while others were envious.

Xie Chuxue was jealous. After all, the prince was her nominal husband in her previous life, but now he was testifying for the bitch Xie Mishuang, ruining all her hard work.

"Since the Crown Prince testified for Miss Xie, I must have wronged her."

The Queen Mother's eyes softened a little when she looked at Xie Mishuang, but she was a little displeased when she looked at Xie Chuxue. The punishment had been announced in front of so many people, so someone must be punished today.

"The incident of Second Miss Xie falling into the water is indeed strange. It is nothing more than an attempt to frame her own elder sister. Then the Buddhist scriptures and female precepts will be given to you to copy. You are limited to finishing them within one day." The Queen Mother turned her gaze to Xie Chuxue with a stern tone.

Xie Chuxue's face turned even paler. She bit her lip unwillingly, but did not dare to refute the Queen Mother's words.

"Let's leave it at that. I'm tired." The Queen Mother said in a cold tone, and with a little fatigue, she took the old nanny's hand and left.

Ouyang Jing followed closely behind the Queen Mother. Before leaving, he took in Xie Mishuang's frightened eyes. He felt puzzled, was he really that scary?

Xie Mishuang had been feeling extremely guilty for a long time, with some cold sweat on her handkerchief, because accidentally killing the prince in her previous life had always been a big worry for her, and she couldn't eat or sleep for a long time.

Now the prince appeared in front of her alive, making her feel like he had died in vain.

So much so that when the prince later recalled Xie Mishuang's expression, it was as if he had seen a ghost.

In the main hall of the Xie family, Xie Mishuang and Xie Chuxue knelt side by side on the blue brick floor.

Their father sat on the armchair with a gloomy face, while Shen sat beside him with a worried look on her face.

"Tell me, why did you push your sister into the water?" Xie Wenyao put the teacup heavily on the table and questioned Xie Mishuang angrily.

Xie Mishuang straightened up and met his father's gaze without fear, "I didn't push her."

"You still dare to quibble!" Xie Wenyao slammed the table, his anger growing even greater.

Xie Mishuang sneered, "Father should know that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince testified for me about this matter, so why does he still think that I pushed her?"

"If not you, who else could it be?!" Xie Wenyao's eyes widened in anger. "You must be jealous that your sister is better than you, and you're afraid that she'll steal your position as Crown Princess in the future!"

Xie Mishuang sneered in her heart. She had long been accustomed to her father's favoritism, but it was still disheartening to see it happen again.

Xie Chuxue's excellence was created by Shen and herself. Their best feature was that they deceived everyone, making everyone mistakenly believe that Shen was gentle and kind, and treated her stepdaughter like her own daughter and never treated her harshly.

It also made everyone think that the second young lady of the Xie family was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was one of the most talented women in Kyoto.

However, only Xie Mishuang knew how much money the Shen family had spent on these superficial efforts.

But Shen didn't care. She was born into a merchant family and her family had so much money that they had no idea where to spend it. It was more than enough to spend on her daughter.

The extra money can even be used to ruin Xie Mishuang's reputation.

Her superficial skills were far inferior to hers, otherwise why would they always regard her as a thorn in their side? Using some inferior means to make her marry the least favored Fifth Prince?

Seeing this, Shen quickly came out to smooth things over, "Master, calm down. Shuang'er probably didn't mean it."

"Don't speak for her. She has the same personality as her mother. She can't stand others doing well." Xie Wenyao was in an extremely bad mood.

Xie Chuxue was such an outstanding daughter, but now she had an unclear relationship with the Fifth Prince. It was highly likely that she would not be able to marry into the Eastern Palace. She had no room for maneuver, after all, so many people had seen it.

Xie Mishuang pursed her lips and didn't want to argue anymore. No matter what she said, her father would still think that she was the one who pushed Xie Chuxue into the water.

Instead of wasting your time talking, it is better to save some energy and think carefully about the next step.

At this time, Xie Chuxue began to sob in a pretentious manner, "Daddy, don't blame me. It's Xue'er who is not doing well. Xue'er is willing to marry the Fifth Prince and will not make things difficult for you."

Xie Chuxue blamed Xie Mishuang for the water-pushing incident, but at the same time she volunteered to say that she was willing to marry the fifth prince. She was kind and sensible. Which parent would not love such a child?

Xie Wenyao softened his heart and said to Xie Mishuang, "You will be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for a month. You are not allowed to come out without my permission."

Xie Chuxue glanced at Xie Mishuang and thought, even if the prince testified, what would it matter? As long as her father believed her, she still had to endure the ancestral hall for this month. Otherwise, how could she feel at peace?

Xie Mishuang said coldly, "Father, the day the Crown Prince will choose his consort will be in three days. Since my sister can no longer be the Crown Prince's consort, why don't you let me try? If I kneel in the ancestral hall, and if my legs and feet are not stable and someone finds me, it will bring shame to our Xie family."

Xie Wenyao thought about it and agreed that he couldn’t punish him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall.

"Then you should practice your music, chess, calligraphy and painting in your own courtyard these few days. If you can't get a concubine, at least you should fight for one for our Xie family."

Xie Chuxue stared at Xie Mishuang in disbelief. She had escaped again and still wanted to be the Crown Princess?

Sooner or later you will become a widow and be despised by others. Just wait and see.

Xie Mishuang stood up, helped herself, and calmly left the main hall, followed by Xie Chuxue.

She stopped Xie Mishuang halfway and asked, "Sister, do you really want to marry the prince?"

Xie Mishuang showed a hint of doubt: "What do you mean, sister?"

Xie Chuxue sneered, "I'm just advising you, sister. If you become the Crown Princess, don't be too happy too soon, because even if you become the Crown Princess, you may not be able to rule the country in the future."

Xie Mishuang looked at her in disbelief: "What did you say? Could it be..." She didn't continue.

Xie Chuxue smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that she was the only one who was reborn. What she just said was just a test. She still hoped that Xie Mishuang would become the Crown Princess. Otherwise, how could the tragic fate of the previous life fall on her?

"Sister, I was just joking with you, don't take it seriously. If you really become a princess in the future, please don't forget me. I will miss you." After saying this, Xie Chuxue smiled sweetly and skipped to her yard.

Qing He, who was standing behind Xie Mi Shuang, had a face full of question marks.

What's wrong with the second young lady?

Xie Mishuang regained his composure and returned to his own courtyard.
