When she approached, a hint of impatience flashed in Yu Xiao's eyes, but he didn't show it at all, and then he bowed respectfully:

"Meet my cousin!"

Xie Baoying nodded slightly and responded softly. Seeing that there was no one around, she immediately looked at Yu Xiao and said:

"Well, why are you still here?"

Yu Xiao looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant. Where else could she be if not here?

"I wonder what you mean, cousin?"

Xie Baoying's eyes turned slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak in her heart, and then she suddenly covered her mouth.

"It's okay, it's okay. I was just strolling around. I heard that my cousin was coming today, so I thought I'd come over to check it out. Is he in there?"

Seeing Xie Baoying's guilty look, Yu Xiao couldn't help but feel alert. Although the cousin had good intentions, she was often out of line. She was obsessed with her master and often did things that went against common sense. Now seeing her appearance, Yu Xiao felt a little uneasy.

"My master is not here. If my cousin needs anything, I can do it for her!"

"What!!! My cousin isn't here. It's over! It's over! It's over! Who is that person in there?..."

Xie Baoying screamed in fear, and her frightened look chilled Yu Xiao's heart. Then she called a maid and asked her to notify the master to come over.

"Why are you reacting so strongly, cousin? Is there something wrong?" Yu Xiao coaxed her, hoping to get the details from Xie Baoying.

Just as Xie Baoying was about to speak, the maid next to her gently pulled her sleeve. Xie Baoying immediately covered her mouth and said vaguely, "No, no, since my cousin is not here, I will come again another day!" Then she turned and left.

Seeing Yu Xiao getting farther and farther away, Xie Baoying looked at the maid beside her and said anxiously, "Xia Ju, it's not my cousin in there. What should we do? Will someone die?"

Although she wanted to marry Xiao Jingchuan as soon as possible and make it a done deal, she had never thought of harming anyone else! If someone died because of this, she would be blamed for everything.

"Miss, what are you afraid of? The spring on the stone hasn't been open for a long time. If it weren't for His Royal Highness Prince Jing's return, who would dare to get close to it? And now someone is actually using it. I wonder who this person is!"

"No matter who it is, since my cousin has tacitly approved of it, it must be someone he values, or perhaps one of those generals who have been with him through thick and thin. If anything happens to them, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to even see him again in the future, let alone marry him!"

Xie Baoying said with a depressed face, although she wanted to marry Xiao Jingchuan, she also didn't want to be rejected by him! Now it wasn't him who was tricked. If he knew that all this was her conspiracy, she could already imagine her own consequences.

Xia Ju looked at Xie Baoying's bewildered look, her eyes full of disdain. If she wasn't still useful, she wouldn't treat her like this.

"Don't worry, young lady. You are the cousin of His Royal Highness Prince Jing! His Royal Highness Prince Jing treats you very well. How could he possibly dislike you for some irrelevant people?"

"Really? But why is my cousin always so cold to me? I, I get scared just looking at him!"

Xie Baoying sobbed as she spoke. If she had not seen anyone more handsome than her cousin, she would not have dared to be so bold as to hit on him. Xia Ju was right. Her cousin treated her differently. However, his cold temperament still made her feel a little far behind him. When she thought about the punishment she would receive if Xiao Jingchuan found out, Xie Baoying could not help crying even more sadly!

Xia Ju lowered her eyes slightly and continued perfunctorily, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing has always been like this, and I know this. But His Royal Highness Prince Jing gives me many gifts every year, and I don't have these things. Think about it, if I don't marry His Royal Highness Prince Jing, then I will definitely be the one chosen as Prince Jing's wife. Then I will have succeeded! Wouldn't I be even more arrogant and proud in the future!"

"No! Absolutely not! Xie Qianqian is not worthy of my cousin," Xie Baoying immediately denied it after hearing Xia Ju's words.

The Xie family was once a powerful minister. General Xie had made great military achievements throughout his life. His eldest son Xie Yunfeng and youngest son Xie Yunfengchuan were also talented people and were highly valued by the emperor. Later, the eldest daughter Xie Yunlan was given to Emperor Shunqing, who was still the crown prince, as his principal wife. Later, Emperor Shunqing successfully ascended the throne and Xie Yunlan naturally became the empress. The power of the Xie Jiang family reached its peak.

But the good times didn't last long. When Xiao Jingchuan was twelve years old, rumors of discord between the emperor and the empress began to spread. Later, Empress Xie was framed and died not long after. Since the death of Empress Xie, the Xie family has been silent.

As a family that was once one of the most powerful, Xie Yunfeng was naturally unwilling to see it fall to this point. When Xiao Jingchuan asked to leave the palace, Xie Yunfeng was naturally not optimistic about him. In recent years, Xiao Jingchuan has made many great achievements at the border and has a certain say in the court. Xie Yunfeng's mind could not help but become active again.

His first wife died in childbirth, and his eldest son Xie Yian was arranged by Empress Xie to live with Xiao Jingchuan since he was a child. The two had a deep relationship. Although they were only cousins, they were better than brothers.

There are two more, a son and a daughter, who are born to his second wife Xue Qiuru. Although he is not very close to the other two, he thinks that they are not much different. Xie Yunfeng's heart could not help but waver in response to Xue Qiuru's words.

If Qianqian could marry Xiao Jingchuan, she might have a chance to sit on the throne in the future, and the Xie family could still regain its former glory. In this way, even in the afterlife, he would have the face to pay homage to the ancestors of the Xie family. Although Xie Yunfeng did not say it, his thoughts were obvious.

Furthermore, Jingchuan is a man who values friendship and loyalty the most. If he has the opportunity to inherit the throne in the future, he will certainly take into account the feelings of brotherhood and will not kill the Xie family. Therefore, Xue Qiuru is becoming more and more interested in letting Xie Qianqian marry Xiao Jingchuan.

Xie Qianqian is the eldest daughter of the Xie family and has always been the focus of attention. Naturally, she is arrogant. Before she married Xiao Jingchuan, she always acted like Princess Jing. If she really married Xiao Jingchuan in the future, where would she go to survive? Besides, she really couldn't stand her arrogant face and would definitely not let her succeed.

"As long as I'm here, Xie Qianqian, don't even think about harming your cousin!" Xie Baoying's face was full of determination and confidence, but then she saw Xiao Jingchuan walking towards her with a gloomy face, and her face instantly fell.

"Cousin, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here, monkey shit!"
