The Third Prince is in high spirits. If the other princes want to outdo each other, they might take the opportunity to join forces to target him.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, at least the Third Prince will be humiliated.

Xie Lingxi put herself in other princes’ shoes and thought that if she were any other prince, she would definitely not miss this opportunity.

So today in the court, maybe my father really doesn't have to do anything.

All he needs to do is jump out and cry at the right time, and cooperate with others to deal a severe blow to the Cheng'en Marquisate and even the Third Prince...

Xie Lingxi felt quite happy just thinking about it.

However, she has not lost her mind. With the current strength of the Xie family, they absolutely cannot become enemies with the Third Prince or other princes. At least they cannot do anything too ugly in public.

So Xie Lingxi looked at her father and reminded him.

"Father, you can certainly vent your anger on behalf of the Marquis of Changping. If Censor Zhang really jumps out, then we will have taken advantage of the situation. But our Xie family cannot afford to offend the prince."

"Even if the mastermind behind this marriage is the Third Prince, we cannot point the finger at him. I don't want my father to bring himself trouble for me and the Marquis of Changping Mansion."

"And speaking of the facts, the real source of the quarrel between the two families this time is still Xiao Yusheng."

Xie Lingxi narrowed her eyes dangerously.

When I thought of the two culprits who made me humble and stupid in my previous life, a surge of hatred welled up in my heart.

At present, let alone the Third Prince, it is impossible for them to take down the Cheng'en Marquisate in one go. They can only take it slowly...

So Xie Lingxi said seriously: "Dad, we have to accumulate strength now. This scandal is mainly caused by Xiao Yusheng and Xie Ruyu. No matter how others beat the fallen dog in the morning court, you just need to remember to severely punish Xiao Yusheng."

"Lord Xiao is not as precious to you as you are. If he is criticized by thousands of people, he will only protect himself and will definitely put all the responsibility on Xiao Yusheng."

"And the people of the Third Prince's faction will find a way to save the Cheng'en Marquisate no matter what. Let Xiao Yusheng bear the consequences alone. This is the best way to reduce the losses. As for dealing with the Cheng'en Marquisate and the Third Prince... there is still a long way to go, and there are plenty of opportunities!"

Lord Xie originally wanted to deal with the entire Cheng'en Marquisate, but after hearing what his daughter said, he came to his senses.

Yes, if we really look at the matter objectively, the real culprits are still Xiao Yusheng and Xie Ruyu, two shameless guys.

It is impossible for the Third Prince to watch me take down the Cheng'en Marquisate. He will definitely help.

The most important thing is that even if he tried his best to drag that family into the water, there would be no benefit except venting his anger, and he might even completely offend the Third Prince.

If they lose the Third Prince's arm, he will definitely not let them go. Until then, they will have to seek shelter from a backer.

But all crows are black.

Lord Xie didn't want to get involved in party disputes in the first place, and he really didn't want to take sides unless he had no other choice or was forced into a desperate situation.

Therefore, we can just take advantage of the momentum given by the other princes and deal with that little bastard Xiao Yusheng first.

As for Xiao Yuanshan and Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, just listen to your daughter. There is a long time to come and we will always find an opportunity.

After thinking it through, Lord Xie immediately agreed to comfort his daughter.

"Okay, Lingxi is right. After this incident, you have become more calm. You are right to remind me, otherwise Dad might really act on impulse. Today I will listen to you and only deal with that bastard Xiao Yusheng to let you vent your anger first!"

Xie Lingxi smiled brilliantly.

"Dad is awesome, thank you!"

Xie Zhibai looked up at Shi Chen and said.

"Okay, Dad, sister, we should go our separate ways. It's getting late."

The father, his two daughters and their two daughters said goodbye quickly, nodded to Mrs. Xie at the gate, and got on their carriages.

Two carriages drove out in two directions.

As soon as Xie Lingxi sat down, Xie Zhibai couldn't help but ask.

"Lingxi, you are dreaming, and you seem like a different person. If you were humiliated by the Cheng'en Marquis family before this, you would have wanted your father to uproot the Cheng'en Marquis family in the court."

"You just advised Dad to stop. You are smart and know how to control yourself. You really impressed your brother."

Xie Lingxi's heart skipped a beat.

Brother, are you doubting yourself?

She raised her eyes slightly and looked at her eldest brother, but she only saw a smile of relief and pride on his face.

The eldest brother did not doubt her, he just simply wanted to praise her...

Xie Lingxi couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.

She must have been really blind in her previous life. From childhood to adulthood, her parents, brothers and younger brothers all trusted and tolerated her unconditionally. Why was it that when she saw the people from the Xiao family, she seemed to be blinded by greed and could not see anything?

The Xiao family was targeting her so obviously, and their malicious intent couldn't even be concealed, but she didn't even notice it.

Xie Lingxi was a little angry, angry at herself.

She is so stupid!

I feel so ashamed of the teachings and love of my parents and elder brother.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying again? Big brother said something wrong, big brother was wrong, Lingxi, don't be angry."

Before Xie Zhibai could wait for his sister's reply, he saw her eyes were red. He immediately blamed himself and bowed with both hands to apologize.

Xie Lingxi was so upset by her brother's behavior that she rolled her eyes and burst into laughter.

"I'm fine, big brother. I just feel that I don't deserve your praise. I'm not that smart. I just want to protect my family and the Marquis of Changping Mansion. There are various ways to destroy the Marquis of Cheng'en Mansion, but it is definitely not worth putting our Marquis of Changping Mansion in danger."

Hearing his sister say this, Xie Zhibai didn't know whether he believed it or not, he just put his hand on his sister's head.

"Girl, why are you so annoying? Have you thought about what you are going to say to the Fifth Prince later? Although what you said in front of me and my father last night made sense logically, the Fifth Prince is not an ordinary person. He won't believe it so easily."

After saying that, Xie Zhibai withdrew his hand and leaned against the car.

"I have spoken to the Fifth Prince, and he is not so easy to trust. My father and I believed in your prophecy because you are our precious sister and precious daughter, but the Fifth Prince..."

Having said this, Xie Zhibai paused, his expression becoming noticeably more serious.

Xie Lingxi also knew that it would be difficult to impress others if she told them in front of outsiders that she had dreamed about these messy things. Some people might even suspect that she had spies around her.

The Fifth Prince is a prince, so it is not surprising that he has spies around him, so he will definitely have such suspicions.

But apart from saying that she was dreaming, Xie Lingxi really couldn't provide any strong evidence.

Moreover, Xie Lingxi felt that the smarter a person like the Fifth Prince was, the less likely he was to lie to him.

One lie requires countless lies to cover it up. If you tell it too many times, it will naturally be exposed. It is better to tell the truth from the beginning.

At worst, she could change the story and say that it was Concubine Li who sent her a message in a dream. Even if the Fifth Prince doubted it, he would find it ridiculous.
