As soon as Xie's father got on the carriage, his expression changed to a terrifyingly dark one. "This is the good daughter you raised!"

"She has completely disgraced me!"

Mrs. Xie's face was pale, but she subconsciously explained, "Master, Jiaojiao has always been obedient and sensible. She was just deceived and confused..."

"Shut up!" Father Xie didn't want to listen. "Don't ever say anything about her again, my daughter from the Xie family!"

The carriage arrived at Xie's house.

Mrs. Xie was helped out of the carriage, but Father Xie sat as steady as a mountain.

Mrs. Xie's heart tightened slightly, "Master..."

"I still have things to do." Father Xie said coldly, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The carriage slowly turned around.

"Madam." Madam Liu, who was beside Madam Xie, looked at her mistress with concern. "The young lady was just confused for a moment. Please don't be too sad."

"The Liu family." Madam Xie answered irrelevantly: "Where do you think he is going?"

Mother Liu's expression changed slightly and she didn't dare to say a word.

"He must be looking for that bitch!" Madam Xie said viciously, "Today, he abandoned Jiaojiao for the sake of his reputation... He has such a cruel heart."

"Madam." Madam Liu thought of something and whispered, "I was at Cui's house today and I thought I saw Hongdou and her mother."

"They were both dressed respectably and sat in the VIP seats..."

"Really?" Mrs. Xie's face changed and she immediately cheered up.

Hongdou was Xie Yao's dowry. Why could she sit in the VIP seat of the Cui family?

"Investigate this matter immediately." Madam Xie's voice was cold. "I'm afraid this matter is closely related to that little bitch Xie Yao!"

……

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji left Cui's house after watching the ceremony.

"Song Wenbo has no hope of passing the imperial examination from now on." Xiao Ji said calmly after getting on the carriage.

Mr. Qingshan is a famous teacher and scholar, respected and admired by scholars all over the world. Song Wenbo made such a mistake in front of so many people today.

Even if he took part in the imperial examination in the future, he would not be on the list.

He's done.

Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, are you blaming me?"

It was she who did this, and both of them knew it.

"No." Xiao Ji answered without hesitation, "The Crown Princess is not a bad person. She has her reasons for doing things."

"Besides, I knew about this before today, but I didn't stop it. This matter between me and the Crown Princess..."

Xie Yao took over Xiao Ji's words, "They work together perfectly, a perfect match."

Xiao Ji's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Xie Yao smiled softly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for trusting me."

"No need." Xiao Ji whispered, "This is a serious matter. Ye Ping'an's identity cannot be hidden."

Not only the Xie family will be paying attention to this matter, but also the palace...

After a pause, Xiao Ji continued, "Xiao Ning once recommended Song Wenbo to Mr. Qingshan."

The news is very hidden.

If Ye Ping'an had not been recommended by him, Mr. Qingshan would not have told him. Judging from Xiao Ning's style... I'm afraid Song Wenbo is not simple either.

Xie Yao showed a look of surprise, "Did I offend Princess Heyi?"

She didn't mean to hide it, but the matter of rebirth was too mysterious and she couldn't explain why she knew such a secret.

Xiao Ji glanced at Xie Yao, but without exposing her, he simply said, "Don't be afraid."

Xie Yao raised her head and smiled, then repeated the old words, "As long as His Highness is here, I'm not afraid." Although the words were old, they worked.

Xiao Ji: "..."

Xiao Ji simply kept his mouth shut to prevent Xie Yao from saying anything inappropriate.

Xie Yao smiled, but didn't push her any further.

……

The capital city is very lively today. The jokes that Song Wenbo, Xie Yujiao and Song Li made at Cui's house spread quickly throughout the capital city like the wind.

However, because Xie's father abandoned Xie Yujiao and saved face, the ones who were ridiculed the most were naturally Song Wenbo and Xie Yujiao.

But on the second day, the wind direction in the capital changed slightly.

"Princess."

Zhu Xin walked in from outside and said in a deep voice: "Now many people in the capital are making excuses for me, Song Wenbo."

"It is said that all scholars in the world want to learn from Mr. Qingshan. Although Song Wenbo's move is a bit vain, it is understandable."

"Moreover, the rumors were widespread during those days, and Mr. Qingshan did not come forward to explain..."

"I followed your instructions and had someone keep an eye on Nanfeng Pavilion in advance. These rumors really came from there."

Xiao Ning.

Xie Yao already had the answer in her heart.

The owner behind Nanfeng Pavilion is Xiao Ning. On the surface, it is a place for scholars and talented people to communicate, but in fact it is Xiao Ning's "harem".

"As for the Second Miss, there have been more rumors these days... She's not having an easy time in the Song family either."

"Song Wenbo hasn't been home these past few days, and Mrs. Song Li has been torturing Xie Yujiao in various ways, even more excessive than before."

Zhu Xin couldn't help but ask, "Crown Princess, the Song family is definitely not a good place. Why doesn't the Second Miss want to divorce?"

Do you like being bullied?

Last time in front of Cui's house, the opportunity was so good, but Xie Yujiao would rather die than do it...

"Could it be that Song Wenbo is some kind of demon who is trying to deceive people?"

Xie Yao laughed at this speculation. She couldn't help but smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where is the goblin?"

Even if it really exists, it is only a vengeful evil ghost like her!

"By the way, will my cousin arrive in Beijing tomorrow?" Xie Yao asked.

Zhu Xin nodded, "That's right, we'll enter the city from the South Gate tomorrow."

"Okay." Xie Yao nodded, "I'll go pick up my cousin myself!"

The next day.

Xie Yao calculated the time and boarded the carriage, heading towards the South City Gate. However, as soon as she left Zhuque Street, where the Crown Prince's Mansion was located, the entire carriage suddenly began to shake violently!

"Crown Princess, be careful!" Zhu Xin and Zhu Qing protected Xie Yao immediately.

"How do you drive the carriage?" Zhu Xin scolded and lifted the curtain.

The driver immediately said with a bitter face, "Princess, please forgive me, please forgive me, I have failed in my duty!"

He just didn't expect that such a fast carriage would suddenly appear around the corner.

"Royal sister-in-law?"

At this moment, a surprised and gentle voice sounded.

Xie Yao frowned and looked towards the source of the sound——

A gentle man in a royal blue brocade robe jumped down from the carriage opposite. He took a few steps forward with a gentle expression and said, "Your humble servant greets the Empress."

The second prince, Xiao Hong.

Born to the Imperial Concubine, he is Xiao Ning's brother from the same mother.

Xie Yao quickly recognized the identity of the person in front of her and nodded politely, "Second Prince."

"Please don't blame me, Madam Queen. It was my coachman who acted rashly and bumped into you. I beg you to punish me."

Xiao Hong's eyes were deep and affectionate as he stared at Xie Yao.

Xie Yao just felt disgusted!

This man...why does he seem to be seducing her?

She didn't understand it before, but after all, she has been learning how to seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently.

"How can I punish the Second Prince's people? It's just that being too reckless on the street is not a good thing. Today, you offended me, but as the Emperor's sister-in-law, I will not hold it against the Second Prince."

"But if innocent people are harmed, that would be a crime. As a prince, Second Brother should set an example and properly discipline his servants."

Xiao Hong's smile froze on his face, and there was some disbelief in his eyes as he looked at Xie Yao.

He was being polite, but she really scolded him?

It really gave her face!
