Because the advertisement was for the imperial petition and the matter involved Xie Yun, many people in the Princess's Mansion were discussing it.

Because they were bored, almost all of them read "The Dream of the Mandarin Ducks". They often cursed the unfaithful man in the book behind his back, and even secretly wondered whether Xie Yun was that man.

Who would have thought such a big thing would suddenly happen in the capital!

Even though the servants in the Princess's Mansion had many doubts about Xie Yun because of the incident in the story, they learned that after he discovered the blood letter, he immediately reported it to the emperor, and then dragged his injured body to rescue Qian Guang.

Even though the crowd did not respect Xie Yun as much as the common people outside, they all admired him highly.

I also had more respect for him and stopped being suspicious.

He also put away the book "Dream of Mandarin Ducks".

When Xie Ying heard the maids' discussions, she was so angry that she wanted to roll her eyes.

She had read the original novel and lived in Xie's house for a period of time, overhearing countless secrets.

Others may not know what kind of person Xie Yun is, but how could she not know?

[Ha, Xie Yun is so kind to his classmate! His concubine Qu Wan'er is the daughter of a classmate of his, who passed the imperial examination with him.

As a result, the man was depressed and died at a young age. His only daughter came to him for refuge, and he took care of her, the same age as him, and raised her in his own bed.

I wonder if his classmates would be grateful to him if they knew about this.

Situ Yuan: “…”

He was the only one who could hear Xie Ying's inner thoughts, so after noticing her displeasure, he immediately feigned curiosity and asked the maidservant beside him, "Didn't you say before that Xie Yun secretly kept a concubine outside and let that concubine bear him three sons and one daughter?"

The maid, who already had some admiration for Xie Yun, was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Yeah, how could she forget about this?

Although the unfaithful man in the story might not be Xie Yun, it is a foregone conclusion that Xie Yun secretly kept a mistress!

The concubine brought her three sons and one daughter to the Xie Mansion. How could this be false?

Situ Yuan pretended not to notice the maid's embarrassment and asked curiously again, "I remember someone set fire to the concubine's residence and nearly burned her to death. That's why she asked the Black Kirin Guards for help and knocked on the door of the Xie Mansion with her three sons and one daughter. Was the arsonist apprehended? Do you know who was trying to kill her?"

The maids were even more embarrassed.

Who exactly wanted to kill the concubine?

Who else could it be other than Xie Yun’s step-wife?

She is the biggest suspect!

But even if they knew, who could arrest her, send her to the authorities, and torture her?

This step-wife is the concubine of the Chen family!

And the Chen family is the Empress's family!

Empress Chen was very virtuous. Even though His Majesty favored Concubine Jiang alone, she never became jealous and kept the harem in perfect order. Not only was she never harsh on the concubines and palace maids, she was also quite tolerant.

Almost no one in the palace said anything bad about her.

Even the favored Concubine Jiang did not dare to embarrass Empress Chen.

With Empress Chen around, who would dare to arrest Chen Fang and bring him to justice unless there was irrefutable evidence of his guilt?

However, they only dared to think about these words in their hearts, how could they dare to say them out loud?

After all, the young master is too young. If they accidentally tell others, they will be guilty of a serious crime!

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Situ Yuan pretended to be curious and asked again, "Has the murderer been caught yet? Has the identity of the mistress been found out? How did she become Xie Yun's mistress?"

Isn't it said that Xie Yun and his wife have always had a very close relationship, and they are a well-known model couple in the capital? "

The maids couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads: "..."

My dear, you are so young, why do you care about these things?

Everyone felt helpless, but when they thought of what Situ Yuan had just said, they felt it was ironic.

They had also always heard that Xie Yun had a very good relationship with his wife, but as a man, he only had one concubine at home.
