After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

As soon as Xie Yao stretched out her hand, it was stopped in mid-air.

A hoarse voice sounded, "Madam, you have crossed the line."

This sound...

Xie Yao's hand paused in mid-air, and she looked at the person in front of her with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, "Xie Yujiao, I know it's you."

As she said this, her eyes were fixed on the person in front of her.

Even if it was just a slight change in expression, Xie Yao was sure that she could see it clearly.

but.

There was only confusion in those familiar eyes, "Madam, you have the wrong person."

"I'm not the person you're talking about."

The hoarse voice certainly didn't sound familiar at all.

But Xie Yao only looked at those eyes and still couldn't believe it completely. "I'm sorry, could you please take off your mask and let me see?"

The man in black lowered his eyes slightly, "It's inconvenient."

She refused bluntly, her eyes a little stiff.

Xie Yao withdrew her hand and did not force it. "I'm sorry, I was abrupt. Since it's inconvenient for you, let it go."

After Xie Yao finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave.

The man in black suddenly spoke, "Madam."

"Is the person you are looking for important to you?"

Xie Yao was slightly stunned and said, "She is an old friend of mine." Xie Yujiao was not a very important person to her.

"I see." The man in black nodded. "If she knew what Madam did today, she would be very moved."

Moved?

Xie Yao pursed her lips and did not answer the man in black.

Xie Yao walked to Zhu Qing, and with just one look, Zhu Qing understood what her Crown Princess meant.

Zhu Qing nodded almost imperceptibly, confirming that he would do as Xie Yao had in mind and arrange for someone to quietly follow the man in black.

After Xie Yao left, the man in black did not leave immediately, but stared at Xie Yao's back for a while before turning around and leaving, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

"Crown Princess." Zhu Qing told Xie Yao about another matter, "Just now our people saw someone going to look for Miss Zhao."

"I took a look and that person looks like... Miss Xuan Er."

Xie Yao frowned slightly and stepped into Zhao Ying's shop, but she did not rush to disturb him. Instead, she found a private room in the restaurant and sat down.

……

Zhao Ying didn't expect that she had just told Xuan Yue, the eldest daughter of the Xuan family, that as long as Xuan Shu didn't cause trouble in front of her again, she would not care about the past.

At this moment, Xuan Shu, the second daughter of the Xuan family, came to her.

Xuanshu came alone.

As soon as she saw Zhao Ying, she looked her up and down, her face and eyes full of criticism.

Zhao Ying's expression didn't change much. She had seen this kind of look many times. In comparison, Xuan Shu's look was impolite but not aggressive.

"Second Miss Xuan." Zhao Ying took control of the situation and spoke first, "Please take a seat."

Xuan Shu was slightly stunned.

She never expected that a businesswoman could ignore the look in her eyes and remain calm, even holding the right to speak firmly in her hands.

In her imagination, Zhao Ying must be very uneasy at this moment, feeling ashamed in front of her, and wishing she could find a hole to crawl into...

But nothing.

Xuan Shu was stunned for a moment, then sat down.

But she didn't seem to follow Zhao Ying's lead completely. She raised her chin slightly and said, "Miss Zhao, you should know why I came to see you today, right?"

Zhao Ying: "Miss Xuan, aren't you curious about how I know you?"

Xuanshu's face stiffened slightly, and he glanced at Zhao Ying with some resentment.

So... is Zhao Ying warning and humiliating her?

She is indeed a businesswoman who is not presentable!

Zhao Ying ignored Xuan Shu's thoughts and said, "I just met Miss Xuan in the palace today."

Xuan Shu's expression stiffened slightly, a hint of uneasiness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Zhao Ying wants to threaten her with her sister?

She won't be fooled!

She is not afraid either!

"Stop talking nonsense," Xuan Shu said, "Zhao Ying, you come from a merchant family of humble origin. To be granted marriage to the Marquis is already a great honor!"

"You were kidnapped last time, and your innocence and reputation were completely ruined. If you knew what was good for you, you should have taken the initiative to cancel the engagement!"

"With your status, you think you can marry the Marquis?!"

"You really are overestimating your own abilities!"

Xuanshu spoke one sentence after another, and every word was sharp and sharp, without any courtesy at all.

Zhao Ying's face gradually darkened, and all the patience in her eyes disappeared.

Just tell her these words.

If it were another woman, she would probably commit suicide!

"Second Miss Xuan is so arrogant that she even points fingers at me." What kind of monsters and demons has Zhao Ying not seen in the business world?

Those shrewd businessmen had to bow down to her, not to mention that Xuan Shu was just a girl from a wealthy family.

There is some aura, but not much.

"Second Miss Xuan, whether I am worthy of Pei Chen or not is not your decision! Even the eldest princess didn't say these words to me, so who are you to Pei Chen? Come on, speak nonsense in front of me!"

"As far as I know, you spread rumors in the capital when I disappeared. I didn't suppress this matter to give you face, nor did I do it for your father's sake."

"Your sister took the blame to protect you. Her deep love moved me, so I let you go."

"Xuan Yue is still in the palace taking your punishment, and you come to me and say all this... You really are Xuan Yue's good sister!"

Xuanshu's expression froze on his face.

She...she...

It wasn't like she asked her sister to do it for her, and besides...

"I'm talking about you now..." Xuan Shu's voice was no longer as confident as before.

"My business has nothing to do with you." Zhao Ying interrupted Xuan Yue, "Does Pei Chen know that you came to me to say these things?"

If Xuanshu wasn't really a little ungrateful, Zhao Ying wouldn't want to mention Pei Chen.

This is heartbreaking.

But she had already mentioned Xuan Yue, and Xuan Shu still hadn't changed at all, so Zhao Ying understood.

People like Xuanshu must be punished.

"If Pei Chen knew you came to me and said these words... Second Miss Xuan, I can tell you with certainty."

"He will hate you." Zhao Ying said word by word.

She clearly saw Xuanshu's already ugly face turn pale inch by inch, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter even if the Marquis hates me."

"I just want to protect the Marquis's good reputation..."

Zhao Ying laughed angrily.

This person is really stubborn.

She was self-righteous and thought she was doing things that were good for others, but what was the truth? If Pei Chen knew that she had been wronged like this, he would only hug her, admit his fault, and beg for forgiveness, trying every possible way to make her happy.

"It seems Miss Xuan didn't remember the lesson from last time." Zhao Ying said in a cold voice, "Come in."

The next moment, the door was pushed open and two female generals walked in. "Miss Zhao."

Zhao Ying said, "Send Miss Xuan Er back to the Xuan family, and tell Xuan Yue what Miss Xuan Er just said."

Xuan Shu's face changed drastically, "No, no, you——"

"No problem." Zhao Ying looked at Xuanshu and said in the same words she had just used: "Xuanshu is as frank and unrestrained as a gentleman. Having a sister like you is really a stain on her."

"Send away."

Xuan Shu was completely stunned. He didn't expect Zhao Ying to say that, and he didn't expect to feel this way after hearing such words.

By the time she reacted, she had already been taken out of the restaurant.

Zhu Qing had just whispered this in Xie Yao's ear when the door of the private room was pushed open.

Zhao Ying walked in. "Yaoyao, are you worried about me?"

"Don't worry, I won't be bullied."

A mere Xuan Yue wants to bully her?

Xie Yao pursed her lips and smiled, pushing a cup of tea in Zhao Ying's direction, "Sister Ying is right, I was worrying too much."

If it was for something else, she wouldn't worry about Zhao Ying being bullied, but when it came to Pei Chen...

She was worried that Sister Ying was blinded by love.

"How could that be." Zhao Ying pursed her lips and smiled, holding Xie Yao's hand. "Yaoyao cares about me, I understand."

Xie Yao and Zhao Ying talked for a few more words before leaving the teahouse.

As soon as she got on the carriage, Zhu Qing sent a message, "Crown Princess, the person has been lost."

"After that person left, he disappeared on the road..."

Xie Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, "It doesn't matter, if it really is her... she will appear in front of me next time."

After she turned and left just now, she clearly felt the man's gaze on her.

Zhu Qing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Crown Princess, who do you suspect that person is?"

"Her eyes are the same as Xie Yujiao's." Xie Yao said in a deep voice.

Since the Zhao family was forced to leave Beijing, she returned to the Xie family and has been living her life looking into Xie Yujiao's eyes.

Xie Yujiao's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness determine how she lives in the Xie family.

Those eyes…she could never be mistaken.

"Then... could it be her?" Zhu Qing asked cautiously, after all, Xie Yujiao was a person who had died a long time ago.

Of course, when Xie Yujiao died, her servants, who were unaware of the situation, sent her directly to a mass grave.

When Zhu Qing followed the order and went to look for Xie Yujiao's body, it was gone.

Although the disappearance of bodies in mass graves is quite common, Xie Yao still has doubts in her heart.

Now it seems...

Xie Yao did not answer Zhu Qing's question, but turned to look out the carriage window.

She wasn't sure, but she had a hunch.
