Xie Jingyi accompanied Lady Xu for a chat about Zi family matters for a while, then went to Xie Jingxi's Jiang Xuanxuan, coincidentally, the Auntie Xue and the Old Madem were both there.

Xie Jingyi sighed in her heart. The cheers and laughter here were in stark contrast to the silence in Lady Xu's room. It had only been a few years since Third Miss had entered the palace, and Feng Shui had already shifted to her side.

"Big sister, why are you here? Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Xie Jingxi came over and held Xie Jingyi's arm, while Sixth Miss also ran over and held her other arm. Auntie Xue and the girls greeted each other, then went to discuss the details of Xie Jingxi's wedding with him. Xie Jingyi calmly looked around, the Sixth Miss scurried and became more cheerful, the Auntie Xue was also rather liked by the Old Madem, so it turned out that the thing she understood the most in the residence was these two women, and if they did not say anything, they would have everything.

"Grandmother, Aunt, Father and Bingsheng have matters to discuss, so I will follow you guys to visit. Since New Year's Eve, there is nothing much to do, so go back home and be more at ease."

"Yes, is your mother-in-law well?"

Although Old Madem didn't really like Lady Xu, but she didn't have any objections towards her big granddaughter. She felt that she was more sensible than Lady Xu, but because of the matters of Lady Xu, Xie Jingyi didn't feel right about staying with Xie Jingxi.

"Grandmother, they are all fine. Yesterday, grandma asked you. She said that she wanted to meet you at your door that day."

"My wife is pretty good-looking, but it's the big wedding, it's better if they all come. When your third sister is settled, I'll also return to the south, saving me from having to stay here. All of you will feel uncomfortable."

"Grandmother, what are you talking about?" Xie Jingyi deliberated, "Mother's abilities are limited, and the family still needs you to be in charge. This matter was her fault, you should give face to Father and us, don't bother about her."

The old lady was not an unreasonable person, but this matter always came to an end. This was not a matter that could be resolved with just words, as Xie Jingxi was still fine when she was at home, once she marries, the Old Madem and the Lady Xu would have a hard time understanding each other.

Grandmother, I've been looking forward to seeing you. You still want to go back, but we don't trust you to stay with us alone in the south.

"Speak nonsense again." Old Madem glanced at Xie Jingxi sideways, "Wait until you are like Young Master, how can you take care of my wife?"

Xie Jingxi's face reddened. Originally, she wanted to say that Gu Yun had his own courtyard and tell her to go live there, but she felt that she was too inexperienced and did not bring up the topic.

Xie Cen and Eldest Young Master talked until dusk before they came out. The Grand Matriarch ordered people to prepare their meals, Xie Jingyi and Lu Bingsheng stayed at the Xie Residence for dinner, causing Xie Cen to become rarely happier, and drank a few cups with Eldest Master. It seemed that the discussion went smoothly, and even Xie Cen, who usually did not drink much, made an exception.

Xie Cen was not one who could drink alcohol, it gave him a headache to drink alcohol, but since he was happy today, he did not feel anything. Only when he had to rest during the night did his headache become even more obvious, thus he decided to call for a bowl of hangover soup from the kitchen.

But before Xie Cen could speak, there was a knock on the door outside. Xie Cen was suspicious, he had never called anyone over, why would anyone come over? Xie Cen put on his clothes and went to open the door, only to see that it was the little girl in the Lady Xu, who was called Chan Er.

Xie Cen frowned, "What are you doing here?"

The Chan Er carried a tray with a bowl of medicine on it that was steaming hot. When Xie Cen asked her, she bowed and said, "Master, Madam asked me to bring you the sobering wine and I'm afraid you might have a headache from drinking it."

Xie Cen was startled, and was a little surprised. He carefully sized up Chan Er a few times, she was dressed in a red waist pinch dress, which made his young face turn red and glossy, and normally, he would not be paying much attention, but when he looked at his under the night sky, he looked extremely charming.

Usually, when the mistress ordered a girl to enter her husband's house in this kind of situation, the meaning was self-evident, moreover, Chan Er was dressed up meticulously, her bashful look could not help but cause Xie Cen's heart to move. Furthermore, ever since the incident with the Nan, Xie Cen had not been into the Aunt Zhao's house much. He had only gone to the Lady Xu's house a few times, and since the Auntie Xue's health was not good, she had always been far away from him. Thus, during this half a year, Xie Cen had almost never been able to get rid of her.

Even if a man in her prime wasn't near beauty, it was hard to avoid a need. Furthermore, after drinking a bit today, she became more motivated, and with a flash, Chan Er entered the house.

Chan Er kept her head down the entire time as she helped Xie Cen drink the sobering wine soup. When the warm liquid entered her stomach, Xie Cen felt a scorching heat coming from his lower abdomen.

"Go and prepare a bucket of hot water for me. I want to take a bath."

Chan Er originally wanted to leave, but upon hearing this, she could not help but be startled, but she did not resist, and only replied with 'yes'. Very quickly, buckets of hot water were brought in from the kitchen, and Chan Er poured the hot and cold water into the bathtub. Her petite back was stretched out and reflected in the steam, making it hard for people to look away. Xie Cen quietly walked over, and when she was done with the water, she extended her arms out, indicating that she wanted Chan Er to help him change her clothes.

Chan Er's face was flushed red, and her hands that were unbuttoning the buttons on Xie Cen's clothes were still trembling. But to Xie Cen, that occasional contact was the best provocation, and he gave her a heavy look, abruptly grabbing onto Chan Er's hand, and directly carrying her into the bath barrel.

The Chan Er was caught off guard and immediately cried out. The water in the bucket could not bear the weight of the two and splashed all over the ground, causing the Chan Er to call out to the old master tenderly, then half pushed and half obeyed Xie Cen.

The always hardworking Xie Cen woke up late for the first time, so he directly went to the palace to take sick leave and stole a day's rest. It was unknown if it was because he drank last night, or because he had not touched a woman for too long, but he actually quarreled with her all the way until the fourth fragment of the night. He lazily laid on the bed, not wanting to move an inch.

"Master, it's time to wake up."

Chan Er became more refined and her voice became more gentle, her soft and tender hands pushed at Xie Cen, almost causing him to fail yet again. Xie Cen immediately grabbed her small hands, "Don't move, sleep with me a little longer."

A flash of craftiness appeared in Chan Er's eyes, but she had risen up. When her tender white body left the quilt, which was full of green and red marks, Xie Cen's eyes dimmed and flipped her over again.

"Ah, old master …" Chan Er's voice was simply an aphrodisiac, Xie Cen actually repeated it again so early in the morning.

"Master really should get up. I still need to go wait on Madam."

When he mentioned Lady Xu, Xie Cen immediately lost his interest, "You don't have to wait on her anymore. Since she's following me, she's the concubine of the palace.

Chan Er was ecstatic, and his face revealed a smile that said she was determined to get it.

As for Lady Xu, she had slept early yesterday, so when she woke up early, there was no trace of Chan Er. She was puzzled and called for Li mama, "Where's that girl from Chan Er?"

Li mama froze. Could it be that Madame doesn't know about what happened last night? " Madam, didn't you send her to the old master's room yesterday? Why did you … "

"Should I send her to the old master's room?" Lady Xu thought for a moment, maybe it was because of this, or was it because Chan Er reminded her to send the old master the sobering soup, "I'm just going to send the bowl of sobering soup, it won't end until now …" Lady Xu suddenly realized something and abruptly stood up. "Don't tell me that Chan Er hasn't come out yet!"

Li mama nodded and thought to herself, Isn't it obvious that I'm going in so late at night? I thought it was his wife who purposely asked me to seduce the old master. "Did he come out yet? The old master hasn't gone to court today. Didn't you …"

"This shameless girl!"

Lady Xu turned and walked out, and angrily headed to Xie Cen's house. Li mama saw that things were not going well, and immediately called for Nanny Feng to follow her. Lady Xu had been feeling depressed recently, but her mind was still not clear. Just thinking of how Chan Er would use all of her effort to crawl into the house of the Old Master, her anger would rush to her head, burning her down to her wits.

Xie Cen's room was well-hidden, and the people outside had naturally left. When Lady Xu rushed over, there was not even a single person who blocked her. The two senior servants wanted to stop her, but they helplessly took a few steps back and watched as Lady Xu kicked the old master's door open.

It was such a coincidence that the Lady Xu came over, it just so happened that Xie Cen and the Chan Er were in the same place, the scene was really not good, the Lady Xu had followed Xie Cen for so many years, but she had never seen him like this, suddenly filled with vitality, and wished she could feed the Chan Er to the dogs.

"Madam!"

Chan Er was the first to see Lady Xu, but the moment she said that she was adding oil to the fire, her coquettish voice burned the last bit of rationality in Lady Xu, and actually wanted to go up and teach her a lesson.

"What are you doing? Who told you to come in!"

Xie Cen reacted, grabbing a piece of clothes to wrap Chan Er's body up, he himself also quickly covered himself with it, and slapped the Lady Xu in the face, completely stunning him.

Xie Cen was such a person that wanted to shame himself, for him to be barged in like this, it was simply too shameful. He turned around and pulled the curtain shut, then called for someone to come in, "Bring Madam down!"

The Lady Xu covered her face and looked at Xie Cen with extreme fear, "Old master, you actually hit me, you actually hit me for a lowly slave.

Xie Cen's face froze, as though she felt that the attack just now was too ruthless. Just as she was about to help her up, Lady Xu took the chance and jumped onto the bed, grabbing her by the hair and ripping her off.

Fortunately Chan Er was wearing a set of clothes, or else she would be ripped off like that, she would definitely be seen by the servants who came in, but even so, it was still very ugly, scaring everyone who came in away, all of them hiding outside the door, they were almost scared out of their wits.

"You shameless slut, you actually carried me on your back and climbed onto my master's bed. It was all in vain for me to trust you so much, and this is how you repay me!"

Lady Xu grabbed Chan Er's head and fiercely knocked it on the bed, causing her forehead to instantly bleed profusely.
