Chapter 142 - 142: Rise
Xie Wan entered the main hall of the Elegant Villa. She did not look for her mother but walked towards Madam Xie with Xiao Miaorong.
Although the two madams of the Xiao family did not get along in the Xiao manor, they still sat together in the Xu manor.
Mrs. Xie knew that Xie Wan was close to her daughter. When she saw her coming, she became suspicious.
Xie Wan did not know much, but the meaning in her words was enough to make Madam Xie uneasy.
Princess Anji was a man of the law. No one knew better than the woman of the house. She was a slut. When her husband was alive, he would flirt with other women. When he was dead, he was even more unscrupulous. He actually had an affair with his own brother-in-law. Although they were brothers-in-law from the other room, it was still considered a mess.
To be targeted by such a fellow, it was definitely because of Xie Xian.
It was almost a joke. She had found countless people and used countless channels to marry into the Xie family.
What good would it be for her to have her eyes on her daughter?
Madam Xie glanced at Princess Anji, who was chatting and laughing with the Eldest Princess. Was she going to be an alibi in front of everyone?
Bah!
Madam Xie stood up and walked towards Princess Anji. Xiao Miaorong gave Madam Xiao a look. Although Madam Xiao was baffled and didn’t know what was going on, she quickly got up and followed her daughter.
Xie Wan followed closely behind.
By the time they arrived, Madam Xie had already arrived in front of the Eldest Princess and bowed lightly.” I’ve really disturbed Eldest Princess’s elegant mood. Recently, my mind has been in a mess and my heart has been palpitating uneasily. I always feel dizzy and short of breath when 1 sit down. I won’t disturb everyone here to celebrate Eldest Princess…”
“Alright, alright, alright. Go back to the residence and rest.”The Eldest Princess didn’t look unhappy, her face was kind. “You have to take your time to recuperate. If you can’t use the doctor you’re using, just let me know. 1’11 introduce you to a royal doctor.”
Madam Xie quickly thanked him.
Then, he suddenly turned to Princess Angie and said with a smile,
“Third Aunt told me that Princess called Bao Xin over just now. 1 don’t know why, but I’m not feeling well and will take my leave first. Please call Bao Xin over.”
Princess Anji raised her eyebrows. She was unhappy at that moment and put down the wine cup in her hand.
“Can’t you see that I’m sitting here, Madam Xie? Why would you split up to call your daughter?”
At this moment, Xiao Miaorong quickly stepped forward.” I saw with my own eyes that the nanny beside the princess called her sister. There’s no mistake.””
Princess Anji secretly gritted her teeth. She blamed Nanny Xu for not being thorough. Didn’t she say that she would push the blame onto Xuan Cheng? Why did she push her out?
“That might be because Granny Xu was a busybody and listened to Xuancheng’s orders.”Then, he turned around and pretended to look around, asking, Did anyone see where Princess Xuan City went?”
When the surrounding madams saw a series of people from the Xiao family coming forward, their little ears had long stood up. They were listening to Princess Anji and instead picked up their wine cups to fill their mouths.
“I didn’t see him.”
“Maybe she went down to rest. Just now, I heard Princess Xuancheng say that she was a little dizzy. I think she drank a cup of wine.”
The Eldest Princess was a shrewd person. She felt that something was wrong when Madam Xie came with a group of people behind her. When she heard that they were not here to bid farewell to her, they were clearly here to ask Princess Anji for help.
Seeing that Madam Xie and Madam Xiao were not on good terms, the two madams of the Xiao family were at odds on the surface. However, when it came to the real issue, they were still a family.
If a small group of people came to ask her, those who knew were showing respect to her, but those who didn’t know would really think that they were here to cause trouble.
It was just that their bones were broken and their tendons were connected. She and Princess Anji were also aunt and nephew by blood, and they were married to the Xu family. She had to bear with it.
“This Xuan City is too small. Why should 1 drink at such a young age…How about this, Madam Xie is not feeling well, so you can go back to the residence to rest first. Ask your Second Madam to stay here, or I’ll ask someone to send her back personally after Xuancheng and Lady Xiao are done.”
By the time they sent it back, it would probably be too late.
Who knew what Princess Anji was up to? She wasn’t afraid that her daughter would beat her up badly, but she was afraid that they would use evil tricks.
” That won’t do.” Madam Xie refused immediately.” My daughter has a bad temper. If she really causes trouble in the residence, I’m afraid our entire Xiao family won’t be able to afford it.””
This was going to escalate the matter and bring up the whole family.
“Xie Furen’s words…” You’re not kind.” Princess Anji snorted coldly.” Our Xuan City is a princess of a country. She’s not even worthy of playing with your Xiao family’s wife. As for you guys mobilizing so many people, it’s as if our royal princess is rushing to get close to you.””
Xie Furen did not budge an inch.” This official’s wife did not mean that. Princess Anji misunderstood. I just want to bring my daughter back to the residence. Is this matter so difficult?”
All of the Furens looked sideways. They had never thought that the usually good-tempered Xie Furen would actually be so unyielding for her daughter. Her small chest was so puffed up that it almost reached her back.
It was said that a mother was tough. This was too tough…
If she didn’t step back a little, she was afraid that blood would splash on her body later.
At this moment, even a fool could see that Madam Xie was standing up for Princess Anji and was here to ask for her. The so-called Princess Xuancheng was a little confusing. After all, Madam Xie was pointing her sword at Princess Anji.
Princess Anji had taken a fancy to Xie Xian, and there was a scandal between Xie Xian and Lady Xiao. Also, just now, the two Furen of the Xie and Xiao Families sat together and watched a hundred shows. They had a good chat and even complained about the Yuan Family, which was previously in-laws with the Xiao Family, because of this…
With this arrow pointing at her, no one could tell what Madam Xie was afraid of.
“If Xie Furen treasures Eldest Lady Xiao so much, then don’t let her out in the future. It’s also to avoid getting into trouble. As for Princess Xuancheng, I will ask my Imperial Brother to take care of her in the future. Let her not provoke Eldest Lady Xiao so that others won’t be wary of her.”Princess Anji’s face hardened as she whispered to the nanny behind the Eldest Princess,
“Please send someone to Xuancheng and ask her to send Eldest Lady Xiao back. Madam Xie needs someone.”
The Eldest Princess sighed. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the butler rush in and knew that the situation was not good. Elegant Wind Villa was originally a place to entertain the madams. If there was no important matter, the male butler would not rashly step forward.
” Old Madam.” The butler stepped forward and softly explained the matter in a few words. The Eldest Princess’s face changed, and her old face turned green.
What a good Angie. She really gave her face by giving her such a congratulatory gift on her birthday!
What a good person!
“Don’t chat here. This old woman is tired. Let’s go down and rest. When they bring back Eldest Lady, we can safely hand her over to Furen.”
Madam Xie was not close to the Eldest Princess, so she could not hear what the butler was saying. However, the Eldest Princess’s attitude softened after hearing the butler’s words. She could still feel it.
His heart was beating fast.
He thought to himself that his daughter had to rise up. She would rather overturn the Eldest Princess’s residence than suffer a loss herself.
If the sky collapsed, she and her father would be there to hold it up!
