When Xie Yao heard this, her originally gentle expression turned completely gloomy.

The temperature in the entire flower hall seemed to drop a lot, and Wang Yushi moved her body a little uncomfortably.

"So," Xie Yao said in a cold voice, her eyes devoid of warmth as she looked at Wang Yushi. "Second Miss Wang thinks Miss Zhao should hang herself?"

What a great Wang family, what a great Second Miss Wang!

Wang Yushi quickly shook her head and said with a look of sympathy, "Princess, please understand. Miss Zhao is a living being."

"If they didn't find it, that would be fine. But if they did find it, how could they ask a living person to die?"

"Yushi thought that if Miss Zhao was found, she could be sent to the manor or another courtyard and told that something had happened. This would save the family's reputation and Miss Zhao's life."

"What do you think, Princess?" Wang Yushi asked shyly, with a secret pride in her heart.

She was able to find a way out for Miss Zhao under such rules, and I believe the Crown Princess would also think she was kind-hearted...

"Is this the Wang family's intention, or the second young lady's?" Xie Yao was holding back her anger, and her voice was exceptionally cold.

The Wang family? Wang Yushi?

What the hell are they!

Wang Yushi looked at Xie Yao sincerely, "This... is just Yushi's humble opinion. The Crown Princess doesn't have to worry about the Wang family. Yushi will plead with her parents. With Yushi's plea, I believe the Wang family will be fine."

Xie Yao laughed in anger, "That's really hard work, Miss Wang Er."

He was playing tricks on her.

Wang Yushi, however, misunderstood Xie Yao's meaning and felt relieved. She smiled shyly and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard. The Zhao and Wang families are relatives, and Yushi couldn't bear to see Miss Zhao die."

"Every word Miss Wang said today came from the heart. It was all for the good of Sister Ying and the Zhao family. Such a kind heart... I will definitely publicize Miss Wang's righteous act throughout the capital, so that everyone can praise her good name."

"Princess, Princess." Wang Yushi's smile froze, her eyes flickering. "Yushi is just a girl in the boudoir, not seeking fame or fortune..."

Xie Yao ignored Wang Yushi's words and continued, "Also, I will petition the Princess and the Crown Prince to reward the Second Young Lady handsomely..."

"Crown Princess!" Wang Yushi suddenly stood up and said with a forced smile, "Yushi means well..."

"I also have good intentions." Xie Yao lowered her eyes to look at Wang Yushi, "Why? Miss Wang Er, are you rejecting my kindness?"

Wang Yushi was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

She didn't dare to refuse...

She didn't dare to agree...

"Isn't this what Miss Wang wanted?" Xie Yao's eyes turned cold. "You said all this in front of me, isn't it just to give me the impression that Miss Wang is kind-hearted?"

"Princess, spare my life!"

Wang Yushi's face changed drastically. She got down from her chair in a panic and knelt down to beg for mercy. Her face was pale and her expression was panicked. "Yushi was wrong. Please spare my life, Crown Princess!"

At this moment, she no longer had any hope in her heart, as she knew very well that all her little thoughts and calculations were seen clearly by the Crown Princess.

Xie Yao didn't say anything, there was only coldness in her eyes.

The Wang family and the Zhao family were granted a marriage, and the two families were related by marriage. However, something like this happened to Sister Ying, and it was inevitable that there would be repercussions.

Xie Yao had expected that the Wang family, who prided themselves on being a prominent family, would have some complaints about this, but as long as they didn't dance in front of her, she could pretend not to know.

She didn't expect that Miss Wang Er would come up to her and talk about these things.

Ridiculous!

Xie Yao's silence made Wang Yushi feel very uneasy. She carefully raised her eyes to look at Xie Yao, only to see the Crown Princess staring at her with cold eyes.

Wang Yushi's heart was beating wildly.

Finally, a light bulb went off in his head, and he said, "Princess, please understand. What I just said... was not what Yu Shi meant."

"It was Wang Yushu!" Wang Yushi said, "Wang Yushu begged me to come and tell the Crown Princess this. I, I have no choice..."

Wang Yushu, the third daughter of the Wang family and Zhao Hao's fiancée.

"Miss Wang is truly calculating." Even at this moment, Wang Yushi still regarded her as a fool. "Or does Miss Wang think that I don't know that your Wang family is planning to exchange marriages?"

The second daughter of the Wang family, Wang Yushi, was originally the concubine of the third prince, while the third daughter, Wang Yushu, was married to Zhao Hao.

But after the third prince Xiao An got into trouble, the Wang family wanted to marry him off.

Xie Yao already knew about this, but because the third prince's wedding date was postponed, the matter was temporarily put on hold.

"It seems that the Second Young Lady also knows that if an unmarried noble lady rashly interferes in other people's affairs, she will be laughed at if this behavior is made public." If this matter really gets out, the first family that will not let Wang Yushi go will be the Wang family.

"The Second Miss's trick was exposed by me. She was afraid that I would really spread your actions throughout the capital, so she pushed the blame on the Third Miss."

"The Second Young Lady's shamelessness is beyond my expectation."

Xie Yao spoke bluntly and her words were as sharp as a knife.

"Miss Wang Er is the concubine of the Third Prince and has nothing to do with the Zhao family. If you try to overreach... I don't mind chopping you off!" By the end of her words, the murderous intent in her voice could no longer be concealed.

Wang Yushi can change the two marriages if she wants, but Xie Yao doesn't think that Wang Yushu can control Wang Yushi.

The truth is, Wang Yushi has already regarded herself as Zhao Hao's fiancée, and has started to exercise her power in advance. She wants to drive away her "shameful" elder sister-in-law, and also wants to win the favor of her, the Crown Princess.

Kill two birds with one stone.

But Xie Yao doesn't indulge her.

Xie Yao said it so directly that Wang Yushi's eyes turned red with anxiety. She...she had planned everything so well, how could it turn out like this...

How to do?

What should she do?

Finally, Wang Yushi looked at Xie Yao with red eyes, her eyes full of crystal, and she looked pitiful. "Crown Princess, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

"Please, Princess, please forgive me this time. Please, Princess, please have mercy..."

Wang Yushi knelt down deeply.

If her actions today were made public as the Crown Princess said, her reputation in the capital would be ruined and she would become a laughing stock!

"Send Miss Wang Er back and tell her parents the truth about what happened today." Xie Yao had no intention of destroying another woman, but she felt that Miss Wang Er might not really know her mistakes.

It was just that she exposed it, and because of her status and position, I felt guilty.

Xie Yao clearly saw that when Wang Yushi heard this, the panic on her face decreased a lot. It was obvious that she was very confident in her heart and was a girl who was loved by her parents.

Xie Yao glanced at Wang Yushi and continued:

"Since Miss Wang Er is restless, just stay home and copy books for a month."

"Also, tell the Wang family that when the Second Miss Wang and the Third Prince marry, I will be there in person to celebrate."
