"You have something to say to me? But what letter did you hear? "

Chan Er looked outside at the courtyard. Seeing that there was no one outside, she then turned to Liu Er and said softly: "I heard Mistress and I were about to speak to Nanny Feng and wanted to tell you secretly, you have a plan."

Liu Er was startled, and touched her stomach uneasily, "Is it about me?"

"Exactly, from what I heard from my wife's words, it seems like she doesn't want you to be born. She says that the direct descendant of some Xie Family can't be the seed of the Fifth Young Master, and that the birth mother can't be a lowly slave, but she can't let his son stay in the Zhao Family either.

"What!" Liu Er was shocked, "Madam, she really said that?"

"Shh …" You don't have to shout. " Chan Er snuck a glance under the window like a thief, then turned back, "I'm here to secretly inform you, don't harm me, I also heard Nanny Feng say that your mother-in-law's intentions are to keep the child in the Zhao Family, that means your man can't have children, and this child's month isn't too far off, so he can be considered your man's son."

Liu Er's face was already extremely ugly, it seemed like she did not know that Zhao Chang could not give birth to his child, and the Chan Er took the chance to speak again: "In any case, you have your own plans, your mother-in-law would definitely want you to give birth to your child, but wife is not willing to let her go, after you think about it carefully, I will leave first, don't tell me I said that."

Liu Er sent Chan Er out with a heavy heart. She lowered her head to look at her stomach that had yet to swell, and her eyes filled with grief.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth day of the new year. The Crown Prince's Wife sent over a thread saying that the Third Miss in the family had to go, it was all because of the young ladies and grannies in the capital.

However, the Lady Xu came over to persuade him, "Crown Prince's Wife also has good intentions. We originally did not have any contact with her, but after you marry into the Marquis Mansion, we will not forget to beat up some of these noble people in the palace. Furthermore, with the Gu family's third mother here, it would be perfect for us to keep you company.

From what the Lady Xu had said, Xie Jingxi did not have anything to do, even if the people in the palace all wanted to do it, it was not her place. Furthermore, she did not want to enter the crown prince's residence from the start. The Lady Xu was so attentive, she simply wanted to pave the way for her future Marquis' Wife. Xie Jingqi would not win anyone, and the Lady Zeng would not take her to such places, but from the perspective of outsiders, the Xie Family sisters were one, and the people she wanted were all as good as Xie Jingqi's friends.

"Mother, it won't be too late to prepare these things for marriage. Right now, I'm waiting for my marriage. It's better for me not to show my face, so I'll just shirk my illness."

Seeing that she was not willing to agree, Lady Xu's expression became ugly. After saying a few words, he angrily left. Xie Jingxi personally returned to the Crown Prince's Wife, saying that it wasn't easy for him to leave the sect after receiving the wind chill, and would only visit another day.

Normally, at this point in time, Crown Prince's Wife would stop, but unfortunately, Crown Prince's Wife was unwilling to. Early the next morning, she directly sent a palanquin over to borrow someone, as if the banquet would not start until she was invited.

The old lady was puzzled, "Why is he still forcing me to do this? What is Crown Prince's Wife doing, he just wants you to go."

Xie Jingxi was naturally annoyed, "About eating and drinking, what can I do? This way of coming to invite you in, is not easy to refuse. Ming Yu, please help me change my clothes."

Xie Jingxi was right, the carriage for the Crown Prince's Wife was already outside the Xie Palace, no matter how much Xie Cen fought with the crown prince, he could not brazenly slap his face, so he sent a message to Xie Jingxi, telling her to clean up and leave.

Xie Jingxi was already dressed properly, and due to the lesson last time, she did not dare to wear anything too eye-catching. She only wore light clothes, and a loose jacket covering her waist, and her face was deliberately painted with a few layers of powder, making her look like she was sick.

Upon entering the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince's Wife immediately came over to welcome her. After carefully examining her for a few moments, she said with a face full of concern: "Oh, you're really sick, I wasn't considerate enough."

Xie Jingxi pretended to cough, and said, "I really cannot go out, I am afraid that if I pass the time and pass the time I get sick, it will be my fault."

Crown Prince's Wife held her hand, "The weather is cold these few days, you aren't the only one who is sick. Isn't Marquis Anfeng's Third Mother already sick?

Gu Wan did not come? Xie Jingxi's body was so sick that she could not get up from the bed. If it was really like seeing a ghost, then Crown Prince's Wife must have done all that he could to trick her to come over, that's why he said Gu Wan was coming over.

Xie Jingxi sneered in her heart, but her expression did not change at all. She became more and more sick, and she did not even take a single sip of the tea that she served.

"Crown Prince's Wife, you too. This Third Miss seems to be quite sick, why must you invite him over?"

The one who spoke was a young lady. Seeing that Xie Jingxi was not able to recognize her, the Crown Prince's Wife chided himself: "Wan'er is right, but it's not me who is wrong. It's just that I had met her that day at the Queen Mother's place and liked her so much, thinking that today's day, calling her out for everyone to get to know her was actually a wrong decision."

Could this be the Qin Wanwan of the Qin family? Xie Jingxi remembered, the daughter of the Duke Qin was an elder daughter of a noble. He was extremely spoiled and had a high status, in his past life, he seemed to have said that on purpose to give it to the Second Prince. She couldn't really remember if it was successful or not, but from her tone just now, she could tell that he was not very friendly.

In the blink of an eye, it had already been spread out. Qin Wanwan had most likely hated her because of Xie Jingxi's threat, which did not even exist.

Originally, if it wasn't for the fact that my body isn't too well, I wouldn't have come. Furthermore, I am a person who is looking forward to marriage, so Yu Li couldn't say much about it.

I just like to see you girls making a ruckus in front of me. I can't wait to invite you over for a few more banquets, and when you're done and have nothing better to do, I'll come over. Today is my fault, I'll tell them to prepare some light food for you.

Xie Jingxi quickly rejected it, "How can it be because it is so troublesome for me alone, I will use it with everyone else. If it is really bad, then I can only withdraw, and leave this illness behind."

"Sister-in-law, look at how you scared that girl. What you know is that you don't know how to put on airs, and what you don't know is how to look terrified." Sister-in-law, look at how you scared that girl, what you know is that you don't know what you should look like.

"Look at Ning's mouth!" Crown Prince's Wife pointed at a girl dressed in palace clothing and scolded. The rest of the people also started laughing together.

Xie Jingxi looked at the girl and vaguely remembered that she was Third Princess. Third Princess sneakily glanced at her to signal her to be at ease, but Xie Jingxi sent her a grateful look, so she knew that Third Princess was helping her.

When the Crown Prince's Wife was pulled back by the Third Princess to chat, Xie Jingxi finally heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that most of the young misses who came today couldn't recognize her, without Gu Wan here, she felt bored, and wanted to think of a way to leave as soon as possible.

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon, and the group was about to get together to eat wine, which was also a normal occurrence during festivals. The girls all gathered together to eat and drink, Xie Jingxi could only refuse to drink, but was able to attract a conversation.

Qin Wanwan looked at her with disdain, "I can see that this Miss Xie is only so-so, to think that she had already become a god-like person. I thought that she was someone who could do what she wanted, but she can't even drink a cup of wine.

Xie Jingxi was unwilling to argue, but after hearing that, she did not reply. Third Princess looked at her and said, "Isn't Miss Xie sick, why are you arguing with a patient? When she recovers, can you drink with her for three hundred rounds, I'll be the judge?"

"That's a good idea." Crown Prince's Wife laughed, "Since we will be together for a lot of times, we will have a drinking competition some other day. Whoever loses will receive their punishment, but today, I specially prepared some fruit wine for Jingwan, so it's too sweet that it's warm. No matter what, it's new year, so we will still drink a cup together."

Sure enough, a maid came up with a warm fruit wine. Xie Jingwan glanced at the red fruit wine and had a bad premonition. However, she couldn't refuse it.

"Actually, what Miss Qin said isn't wrong at all. I am indeed not strong enough for alcohol. Usually, I get drunk from one cup and drink three hundred rounds. Why don't you take advantage of the time and stun me?"

"Listen, these words of yours are for one thing and another. If this fruit wine isn't served, you can drink half of it and guarantee that you won't fall drunk. If you get drunk, I'll get someone to send you back, how about it?"

Xie Jingxi could only raise her wine cup, "Forget it, Crown Prince's Wife has set his eyes on me today. Even if I have to risk being laughed at by all of you, I will toast to everyone."

After Xie Jingxi finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her sleeve and took a sip of the fruit wine.

Xie Jingxi covered her mouth with the handkerchief, and started coughing so hard she felt her lungs were tearing up. Listening to him, it was unbearable, "Crown Prince's Wife, please spare me, I already said that I can't touch alcohol, the fruit wine is too sweet, I'm sick of it, I'm sorry for making everyone laugh."

"Aiyo, such a pitiful kid. Hurry up and serve tea to wash Miss Xie's mouth. Fine, I'll let you off this time. Next time, you have to double up."

As expected, Crown Prince's Wife did not make things difficult for her anymore. Xie Jingxi did not even touch the chopsticks for a meal, but at the end, she was still feeling a little dizzy. Xie Jingxi secretly pinched her thumb and middle finger of her tiger mouth to wake her up a bit, but just after a while, the dizziness became even stronger, and wave after wave after wave of attacks.

Xie Jingxi fiercely bit the tip of her tongue, but she could not maintain her consciousness for long due to the pain, after forcing herself to endure for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, she could no longer hold on and fell on the table.
