Xiao Ji's voice was close at hand.

Xie Yao could even sense his breath coming from behind her, and her cheeks felt a little hot.

She turned to leave and said, "I'll go ask why the clothes haven't been delivered yet."

"Cough, cough, cough."

A light cough was heard, and Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji.

He was only wearing a thin undergarment at the moment, with his long wet hair hanging loosely, and his slightly pale face made him look very innocent.

There was worry in Xie Yao's eyes. She took a step forward and, under Xiao Ji's gaze, took off her cloak and put it on him.

Her cloak was a little small for Xiao Ji and looked a little funny on him.

A smile flashed in Xie Yao's eyes.

"Your Highness, please sit down." Xie Yao took a dry cotton handkerchief and gently wiped his wet long hair.

Xie Yao's fingers were slender and soft, and her movements were gentle. She stood behind Xiao Ji, and the warm fragrance from her body lingered around him.

He pulled with one hand, and Xie Yao fell softly into his arms, her hands hooked around his neck, their bodies pressed tightly together.

Xiao Ji lowered his head, rested it on her neck, took a deep breath and smelled the unique scent of her body.

The spring rain was falling outside the window, and Xiao Ji felt more relaxed than ever before.

knock knock.

A knock on the door soon sounded, and Si Nan's voice rang out, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, the clothes have been delivered."

Xie Yao whispered, "I'll go outside and wait for His Highness."

Xiao Ji hugged her tighter, "Yaoyao, why are you hiding? Where have I never seen Yaoyao?"

Xie Yao: “…”

Her face turned red instantly.

But Xiao Ji said the same thing she had just said, and she couldn't even refute it.

Xie Yao bit her lower lip and glared at her, "Your Highness!"

Xiao Ji chuckled and didn't try to stop her. Si Nan came in carrying a tray of clothes. "Your Highness, everything has been disposed of."

Xiao Ji changed his clothes slowly. Through the crack in the window, he saw a carriage passing by on the street in the distance. His eyes were full of coldness. "He can't wait any longer."

"Since he's so idle, find him something to do."

Si Nan recognized it as the carriage from the Second Prince's Mansion and immediately responded, "Yes."

Xie Yao only waited for a while before Xiao Ji came out changed his clothes. The couple went downstairs and got on the carriage.

As soon as she walked out of the teahouse, Xie Yao felt a disgusting and sticky gaze falling on her. She followed the gaze and looked -

But I didn't see anyone, only a carriage.

"Princess?"

Xiao Ji stretched out his hand from the carriage. Xie Yao withdrew her gaze, placed her hand in his palm, and was helped into the carriage.

……

After Xie Yujiao was beaten with a stick, Mrs. Xie placed her in the Xie family to recuperate. Even though she was heartbroken, she only had this one daughter and she had to protect her no matter what.

Three days passed before Song Wenbo realized something was wrong and hurried to the Xie family.

Also traveling with him was Song Li.

Mrs. Xie was very dissatisfied with Song Wenbo's negligence. She sat at the head of the table with a haughty attitude and said, "Song Wenbo, don't forget what you promised when you asked to marry the daughter of the Xie family!"

"It's only been a short time, and you've already made my Jiaojiao suffer so much..." Zhang became more and more angry as she spoke, wishing she could eat the two people in front of her alive.

Song Wenbo immediately knelt down and said, "Mother-in-law, please calm down. This is all my fault..."

"What you said is not true, mother-in-law." Mrs. Song Li grabbed Song Wenbo and looked at Mrs. Zhang unhappily. "It was the eldest daughter that our family wanted to marry!"

"The eldest young lady is gentle and virtuous. She looks like she will be able to bear children and bring forth many descendants for our family!"

"But what about the Second Young Lady? She's unruly and disrespectful to her mother-in-law, and she's jealous and won't let my son take a concubine. I'm ashamed to have a daughter-in-law like her!"

Song Li put her hands on her hips and spoke very quickly, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube. She didn't even pause for a moment in front of Zhang, looking like a real shrew.

Zhang came from a family of officials. In the past, she had only been friends with polite people and had never met a shrew like Song Li.

But these are her in-laws.

"You, you..." Zhang pointed at Song Li angrily, "Kick her out!"

"Huh, what did I say wrong? It was your daughter who insisted on marrying my son. Wasn't it because she saw him as a descendant of the God of Literature? My son came to pick her up in person, and she's still throwing a tantrum?"

"If you don't come back today, you don't have to come back in the future. Just wait for my son to give you a divorce letter!"

boom!

"You dare!" Zhang was so angry that she slapped the table, her eyes looking like she wanted to eat someone.

Mrs. Song Li was frightened for a moment, but she quickly straightened her back. "Xie Yujiao has contradicted me not once or twice, and she has never served me, her mother-in-law. It is only right that my son divorce her!"

Zhang was angry, but she also knew that what Song Li said was right.

If Xie Yujiao is disrespectful to her mother-in-law, everyone will blame her.

She had painstakingly found the Song family for Xie Yao, but she didn't expect that it would backfire on her.

Zhang was furious and her eyes fell on Song Wenbo, "Is this what you meant?"

"Song Wenbo, don't forget that you are still just a juren." Whether it is the Xie family or the Zhang family, it is easy to control a small juren.

Song Wenbo bowed, looking embarrassed, "Mother-in-law, why don't you ask Jiaojiao what she thinks?"

Zhang became even angrier.

She was unsure, but with Song Wenbo and Song Li's attitude, if she let Xie Yujiao, who was now covered in blood, go back... she didn't know how she would be treated.

She took a deep breath and said, "This matter..."

"I'll go back." A weak voice came from the door.

Xie Yujiao was carried by servants to the main hall. Her face was pale, but she still looked carefully dressed.

Her eyes fell on Song Wenbo, "My husband came to pick me up personally, so of course I have to go back with him."

Zhang was so angry that she laughed, "Have you thought about it all?"

Xie Yujiao pursed her lips and whispered, "Mom, you will understand me in the future."

"Okay, okay." Zhang sneered, "If you leave this door today, don't call me mother anymore!"

Just because of Xie Yujiao, she was scolded by Song Li.

Xie Yujiao's face flashed with apology, but she still said, "I'll come back to see mother another day."

Song Li raised her chin, her face full of pride and satisfaction, "Why go back? Once you enter my house, you are my family. How can a married daughter go back to her parents' home every day?"

Zhang was so angry that her eyes went dark and she fainted on the spot.

When Zhang woke up again, the Song mother and son had already left with Xie Yujiao.

She sat in the dim room for a long time, her heart as if soaked in cold water, chilling to the bone.

"Madam," Madam Liu whispered, "Could it be that the Second Young Miss is... possessed by an evil spirit?"
