Prince Ning's Mansion.

After Xiao Qingyuan came back, he went straight to his yard and prepared to have a good sleep.

Because of Gu Qianhan's words, all his doubts about Shen Wantang had disappeared. He thought that this test was very successful. He was also very sure that Shen Mingxuan was lying when she said that Shen Wantang and Gu Qianhan had an affair before their marriage.

Shen Wantang did not betray him.

When Hua saw him coming back, she first handed him a cup of hot tea to warm him up, then untied his cloak, helped him take off his coat, and then squatted down to take off his boots.

After Xiao Qingyuan finished drinking the hot tea, Huayi lifted the quilt and helped him lie down in the warm bed - this was the quilt that Huayi had specially warmed for him in advance.

Xiao Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Huayi over and asked her to lie down with him.

There was a rustling sound in the quilt. She had a slender figure and skin as smooth as silk, which made Xiao Qingyuan unable to let go.

He covered her and was about to take the next step when Mo Ji's voice suddenly came from outside: "Sir, the son-in-law is here. He wants to see the princess, but the princess refused to see him, so he came to see you. Look..."

Xiao Qingyuan was ready to go, and he loved the warm bed and the warm and passionate body of the maid so much that he had no time to care about Huo Yunzhou: "I'm busy! Tell him to go find Shen Wantang!"

Mo Ji conveyed the message truthfully and then sent Huo Yunzhou away from Xingheyuan.

The hot potato finally fell into Shen Wantang's hands.

When Shen Wantang learned that Huo Yunzhou refused to leave and insisted on seeing her, she put on a thick cloak, left the yard and went to the front hall.

As soon as he saw Shen Wantang, Huo Yunzhou apologized immediately: "It's so late, and I still let the prince's wife receive me. I'm really sorry, but I really have no other choice. Please help me."

Shen Wantang didn't say a word about helping or not helping, and only asked him: "I heard from the subordinates that the prince has returned home. Have you gone to find the prince?"

"I've been there, Prince... Prince is busy, so I won't bother him any more."

Huo Yunzhou was afraid that Shen Wantang would think that he was afraid of disturbing Xiao Qingyuan but not her, the Crown Prince's Consort, and that he was looking down on her, so he quickly explained, "It was the Crown Prince who asked me to come to the Crown Prince's Consort. You and Qingxi are sisters-in-law, so I thought she would listen to your advice, so I shamelessly came to you for help."

The corners of Shen Wantang's lips twitched slightly. It turned out that it was Xiao Qingyuan who pushed the person towards her.

It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. As for the matter between Xiao Qingxi and Huo Yunzhou, no matter who tries to persuade others, it will be in vain. Not to mention that Shen Wantang and Xiao Qingxi do not have a good relationship, even if the relationship is okay, she does not intend to wade into this muddy water.

Shen Wantang kicked the question back: "The princess and I are only aunt and sister-in-law, there is still a layer of distance between us. The prince and the princess are siblings, there is no one closer than them. I think it will be useful for the prince to persuade the princess. Qin Xin, send the son-in-law to the prince's courtyard!"

"Yes."

Qin Xin bowed to Huo Yunzhou and said, "Sir, please come this way."

Huo Yunzhou felt that he was being pushed around and treated perfunctorily, but he did not give up. He had seen Shen Wantang's abilities and knew that Shen Wantang was a person with great say in Prince Ning's Mansion. If she could help him, it would definitely be more useful than Xiao Qingyuan!

He refused to leave: "Princess, the New Year is coming soon. I really want to take Qingxi back to the Huo family. What's the point of letting her spend the New Year in Prince Ning's mansion? Don't you want her to be happy with me?"

"Of course I hope that the princess and you can live in harmony, but the solution to the problem has always been in front of you, but you are unwilling to do it. You want to take a concubine and refuse to compromise. The princess is also unwilling to compromise, right?"

Shen Wantang actually wanted Xiao Qingxi to move back to the Huo family as soon as possible. She made a fuss in Prince Ning's mansion every day, and no one could stand it.

However, Huo Yunzhou really overestimated her. She really couldn't help with this matter.

Huo Yunzhou thought she was unwilling to help, and couldn't help but step forward and start complaining.

He talked about how deeply he loved Xiao Qingxi, how he owed her a huge favor, and how Lin Rouxin was lonely, helpless and kind-hearted. It would be unjust if he couldn't even fulfill her small wish.

When he got emotional, his eyes turned red.

Shen Wantang saw his pain but remained indifferent.

She even took a step back and distanced herself from Huo Yunzhou.

Xiao Qingxi now feels uncomfortable if he doesn't cause trouble for her for a day, and he won't feel satisfied until he comes to scold her every day. Shen Wantang feels that on the one hand, Xiao Qingxi doesn't like her, and on the other hand, Xiao Qingxi is actually transferring his anger towards Huo Yunzhou and Lin Rouxin to her.

She is the most innocent person in their marital conflict.

And the culprit is Huo Yunzhou.

It was because she was mentally strong and had gained her mother-in-law's trust early on that she was able to cope with Xiao Qingxi's unreasonable behavior and malicious insults. If it were someone else, they would have collapsed long ago.

In the previous life, the person who was scolded by Xiao Qingxi was Shen Mingxuan. Shen Mingxuan had an extremely difficult time during that period. She cried every day and even said several times when she returned to the Shen family that she wanted to die.

But later, Xiao Qingxi returned to the Huo family for some unknown reason, and Shen Mingxuan came back to life.

In her previous life, Xiao Qingxi's child was not born. Shen Wantang guessed that the reason why Xiao Qingxi returned to the Huo family was probably related to the loss of her child. She most likely returned to the Huo family to take revenge on Huo Yunzhou.

Shen Wantang's thoughts were drifting away. She was doing three things at once: listening to Huo Yunzhou's complaints, guessing the reason why Xiao Qingxi lost her child, and calculating the time on Xiao Qingyuan's side.

After a while, she told Qin Xin: "Go and see if the prince is asleep."

Huo Yunzhou didn't know why she sent the maid to find out this, and thought she wanted to push him to Xiao Qingyuan.

But when Qin Xin heard Shen Wantang mention the word "sleep", she immediately realized that Shen Wantang was not going to let Xiao Qingyuan sleep well again.

She left quickly, and returned a cup of tea later: "Princess, the prince has fallen asleep."

Upon hearing that Xiao Qingyuan had fallen asleep, Shen Wantang finally smiled: "Okay!"

Huo Yunzhou looked puzzled. What was good about it?

The next moment, he heard Shen Wantang say calmly: "Wake up the prince and ask him to come to the front hall!"

Huo Yunzhou was dumbfounded: "Prince's Consort, this is not good, right? This is too disturbing to the prince, isn't it?"

Shen Wantang said in a gentle tone: "The son-in-law of the palace is here, and he just leaves him alone. How inappropriate! After all, I am a woman, and it is inappropriate to have a long conversation with my brother-in-law late at night. Naturally, it is best for the prince to come forward. Don't worry, the prince will be here soon."

Huo Yunzhou's face was filled with embarrassment. It was not appropriate for him to leave, nor was it appropriate for him to stay. He was stuck there.

But this awkwardness did not last long. Xiao Qingyuan had not arrived yet, but Xiao Qingxi did.

When she saw the two people talking, she immediately exploded: "Shen Wantang, you are so disgusting! You are dragging someone else's husband here to talk in the middle of the night, are you trying to seduce him?!"
