Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Speaking of Qiu Fuqiu, Xie Chengyi's expression darkened. How could he not know that she liked him?

It's just that he had unfinished responsibilities in his heart, and he didn't want to delay her, so he kept avoiding her and treating her coldly, making her give up.

But her persistence still left an unignorable mark in his heart.

Faced with the pursuit and flattery of such a bright and cheerful woman, even a piece of wood would be moved, not to mention that he was a man of flesh and blood.

Seeing his brother's expression suddenly change when he mentioned Qiu Fuqiu, Xie Chengyin breathed a sigh of relief, finally he had fooled him.

Sure enough, the hero is in trouble.

This crazy girl Qiu Fuqiu finally won her brother's heart.

So, in order to protect his brother and help Qiu Fuqiu, Xie Chengyin secretly made up his mind that he would break up this marriage.

But he won't be impulsive this time. Knowing the inside story, he will choose a roundabout way and break up the marriage in a civilized manner.

In the Mountain Resort, after Xie Chengyi followed Xie Chengyin away, Xiao Yizhui also followed his elder brother Xiao Dingyan back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Neither Xiao Chengzhang nor Xiao Yizhen attended the flower-viewing banquet.

Xiao Chengzhang took leave on the grounds of having important matters to attend to, while Xiao Yizhen went to the palace to visit Queen Xiao Ling.

There was less than a month left before her wedding with Shen Zhaoyan. In addition to learning the wedding etiquette at home every day, Xiao Yizhen went to the palace to accompany Empress Xiao whenever she had time.

Although Empress Xiao had been released from house arrest, Emperor Tianqing was clearly still angry with her. Not only did he not visit her, he also left the flower-viewing banquet to Concubine Qiu.

Therefore, the person who appears in Chaofeng Palace on a daily basis is her niece Xiao Yizhen, who is about to become her daughter-in-law.

As soon as Xiao Yizhen entered the room, she saw Xiao Yizhu who had returned. She raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Xiao Yizhu and said, "You're back?"

Xiao Yizhu lowered her head and whispered, "I'm back, sister."

She would unconsciously lower her head in front of Xiao Yizhen, as if there was a pressure that made it impossible for her to raise her head.

Xiao Yizhen glanced at Xiao Yizhui. She was wearing a plain skirt and had a little makeup on her face. Although she was not particularly outstanding, she was gentle and lovely.

She commented, "Your outfit today is nice and suits you well. I have a few new dresses with light colors. I will be marrying into the Prince Xiang's mansion soon, so I won't have the chance to wear them anymore. You can wear them."

Xiao Yizhui remained silent. She really wanted to say that she didn't want it. She didn't like light-colored clothes. She liked bright and eye-catching ones. She also didn't like her elder sister's alms-giving tone all the time.

She was unwilling to live under the shadow of her elder sister all the time. She wore clothes that her elder sister didn't like and wore jewelry that her elder sister didn't want.

But her long-standing cowardice made her hesitate for a moment, but in the end she said nothing in reply. She nodded slowly with her head slightly lowered, "Thank you, sister."

Xiao Yizhen was very satisfied with her sister's obedience. She turned around and said to her maid, "Go to my room later and send all the new clothes to Yizhu. Then use the new materials to make a few new ones. I want to take them to Prince Xiang's mansion to wear."

Xiao Yizhen walked away leisurely, with the proud posture of a white swan, while she looked like an ugly duckling fallen into the mud.

They are born from the same mother, but they are so different.

As soon as Xiao Dingyan returned home, he went to the study and reported to his father Xiao Chengzhang what happened in the Mountain Resort today.

However, he only described in detail the news that Xie Chengyi had asked Emperor Tianqing to grant him marriage, but concealed the fact that Xie Chengyin had obstructed him.

Xiao Chengzhang was very happy to hear this. He immediately walked out of the study. When he saw Xiao Yizhui waiting in the courtyard, his face was full of joy.

"Okay, okay, Zhu'er, you finally won your father's face. In a month or so, your sister will marry into the Prince Xiang's mansion, and your marriage should also be put on the agenda. After tomorrow's morning court session, I will ask His Majesty for his opinion. After all, it is a marriage granted, so the wedding date should be chosen by the Imperial Observatory."

Xiao Chengzhang was a serious man, and he was mostly silent. When he smiled occasionally, it was only to Xiao Yizhen.

Xiao Yizhu had never seen her father speak to her so kindly. After she calmed down from the panic in her heart, she slowly said, "I will listen to you, father."

Xiao Chengzhang was in a good mood, so he didn't feel annoyed by Xiao Yizhui's timid attitude. Instead, he felt extremely comfortable.

His brows were clear and he went back to his study with a smile on his face.

After Xiao Chengzhang left, Xiao Yizhui raised her head and looked at Xiao Dingyan. She guessed that it must be because her eldest brother did not tell the whole story that she did not make her father angry, otherwise she would definitely have been scolded today.

She smiled slightly and said to Xiao Dingyan, "Thank you, brother."

Xiao Dingyan's expression remained the same as always. He said, "No need to thank me. Although my father is strict, he still values ​​you. Just because I don't tell you about this doesn't mean that he won't know about it. But later, when the dust settles, my father will be able to calm down."

Xiao Yizhui knew what Xiao Dingyan meant when he said the dust had settled.

Today, Xie Chengyi has already firmly stated in front of everyone that he will not regret this marriage, so as long as he comes to propose, there will be no doubt about this matter.

At that time, even if Xiao Chengzhang knew that Xie Chengyin had refuted it, he would not say anything more.

Xiao Yizhui understood this in her heart, but she still had a vague feeling of unease.

She knew that Xie Chengyin was so opposed to this marriage because of Qiu Fuqiu, but so what? Although his opposition was very important to Xie Chengyi, it was not as good as her kindness to Xie Chengyi.

Xie Chengyi is a person who cannot overcome this hurdle.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yizhui's heart slowly calmed down.

She just waited patiently, waiting for the handsome and elegant man to come and marry her.

As dusk deepens, the setting sun slowly sinks below the horizon, leaving behind a soft halo.

The white clouds in the distant sky seemed to be gently outlined by a golden brush, with a faint golden edge.

Shen Furong took a carriage all the way back to the palace. After a simple wash and wash in Luxia Palace, her fatigue was temporarily relieved. However, the doubts lingering in her heart prevented her from sleeping peacefully.

When she saw Zhao Yunlan being tied up today, she was just surprised at the time, but as she walked along the way, she became more and more suspicious.

There were only three people in the carriage, Yan Ci, Zhao Yunlan, and Zhao Yunlan's maid.

There were three people in the carriage, and if a fight broke out, Yan Ci would naturally be one against two.

But even so, Yan Ci walked out unharmed, while Zhao Yunlan and his maid, one was tied up, and the other fainted on the ground.

Do ordinary women have such abilities?

If there was, at least when it was a one-on-two situation, it would be impossible to get away so cleanly.

Shen Furong leaned on the edge of the couch, thinking for a long time but could not find anything unusual.

At this time, Yun Qiang walked in, "Princess, the Jincheng guards brought your jade pendant here, saying that you accidentally dropped it today."

Shen Furong nodded and motioned Yun Qiang to take it.

The jade pendant was cool and round, and felt icy in the hand. Shen Furong immediately thought of the scene when she was bumped into by Yan Ci today, and her face suddenly turned red.

He was stroking the jade pendant in his hand, and suddenly he seemed to think of something.

She ordered Yun Qiang loudly, "Call Jin Cheng over here. I have something to ask him."
