Fortunately, the injury on Xie Jingxi's mouth was not serious, and after applying the ointment yesterday, it had become much better. Today, she had intentionally covered it with a darker color of lip paper, so it would be hard to see if she did not look carefully. However, it was very easy to see Gu Heng's injury.
Gu Heng licked his lips, "It's no problem mother, I drank too much last night, and was accidentally bitten by a cat."
Xie Jingxi, "..."
When Lady Zeng saw him, she immediately understood what was going on. She was simply furious, he was originally afraid that Yue Yang would lose interest in women, but now, she just drank flower wine. Hmph, I can't say which fox spirit did it.
Since when have your mother not allowed you to touch a woman? There's a family where if you don't come back, you have to go outside and find that disorderly place, so what if it's a good family? Why would they bring it in?
Gu Heng chuckled, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to marry her back, it's just that she doesn't like me, and I really like her. So, I had no choice but to let her marry me."
"Bastard!" Lady Zeng slammed the table, "Whose girl has such big face, doesn't even look up to Marquis Mansion. Since that's the case, you are not allowed to find her in the future either, you must come back early tonight, or you won't have a round house tomorrow. Watch how I take care of you!"
If Lady Zeng wanted to say something like that, he should at least avoid her, who was her sister-in-law, and Gu Heng, who was also her wife. Right now, he was even more bold, daring to say anything and teasing her in front of Lady Zeng.
Fang Wanqing gritted her teeth as she listened by the side. Her eyes were filled with malice and resentment, she glared at Xie Jingxi, and couldn't help but think, what would happen if I were to spread the news of how shameful they were? Seeing how Xie Jingxi was still pretending to be powerful and arrogant at the side, I'll let everyone see how dirty her gentle and skilled face really was.
"Mother, I need to move the things over at the warehouse to dry. My wife will go down to busy herself." Xie Jingxi suddenly said.
Lady Zeng nodded, "You can go now."
Xie Jingxi bowed and took her leave, and before sshe had even stepped out of the room, he heard Gu Heng say as well, "Mother, I'll also be leaving, I still have some matters to attend to today."
Lady Zeng waved her hands without a care in the world, "Let's go. Remember to come back early tonight."
"Understood, Mother."
Hearing that Gu Heng wanted to come out, Xie Jingxi quickened her steps, afraid that she would run into Gu Heng, but she never expected that Gu Heng would walk even faster than her, afraid that she would run towards him.
Right now the two were in the courtyard, surrounded by people, Xie Jingxi did not dare to do anything, and stopped to look at him, "Please hurry, Little Uncle, I'm still busy."
Gu Heng laughed as he got closer to her. Xie Jingxi subconsciously took a step back, but she no longer came closer, and only said softly: "I actually don't have much to say, and only wanted to say a few words to you after seeing that you've been ignoring me all morning. If there's anything you need to say to Big Brother, then I wish him good health."
Xie Jingxi resisted the urge to slap his face, and smirked as she raised the corner of her mouth, "Then I really have to thank little uncle for your concern, your big brother is still well."
"Then I am relieved. After all, I really hope that my sister-in-law can be happy."
Gu Heng smiled at her in a teasing manner, then turned and left. Xie Jingxi stood in her original spot and chanted three words of calmness before calmly walking back into the courtyard. When Ming Yu saw her walk in with a frosty expression on her face, she was so frightened that her heart trembled.
"Miss, do you want to drink some Lilium Lotus Seed Soup to prevent pimples from growing on you?"
Xie Jingxi looked at her sideways, and asked: "Festering pox?"
"That's right. I see that your anger has increased a bit recently. It's good to drink some."
Xie Jingxi rubbed her forehead helplessly, "What you said makes sense, go and simmer for a bit, just don't release the lotus seed, release some Silver Ear."
"Hai, I'll go now."
Recently, Xie Jingxi had eaten all the warm food and even she himself felt a little agitated. Slightly drinking some warm food and balance should not be a problem, it was just that this soup did not have the time to go into her mouth, another bad thought had come.
The Lady Xu directly passed a card to Xie Jingxi through the small door, and did not even pass a Marquis Mansion, the moment Xie Jingxi saw the card, he immediately knew the reason, and her head started to throb uncontrollably.
The reason why the Lady Xu could think of her without any reason was probably because of Xie Cen's imprisonment. The Elder Official Xie had been implicated due to the fraud, and was still in prison without any news.
The message on the thread said that Xie Jingxi was going to return to the manor, and it was very nice. It was because the Old Madem missed her so much, and she was always at home, so she knew that she was busy, and did not dare to come and disturb Yun Yun Yun.
How could she possibly care about Xie Cen's matters? If His Majesty wanted him to stay, he would naturally stay, and no one would be able to stop him if he wanted to stay. As for Gu Yun, it was impossible for her to talk too much about him, as if he thought that he would naturally help him when the time came, and he would naturally ignore his if he felt that he shouldn't.
Moreover, she and Gu Yun had narrowly escaped death, so how could he have the energy to speak up for someone else? It was probably on behalf of someone else that she was speaking the truth, and that person died even faster.
Lady Xu taking advantage of her grandmother's situation was a violation of her taboo, she was expected to obediently accept whatever she wanted. Lady Xu was looking down on her too much.
"Eh? "Miss, who was the one who posted this post?" Ming Yu brought the silver ear soup over and saw the familiar invitation on the table, "Is it from the Xie Clan, is it Old Madem?"
Xie Jingxi brought over a spoonful of silver ear soup and placed it in her mouth, she then sighed, "Burn the card and pretend you did not see it."
Ming Yu's mouth was agape. She opened the thread and looked at it in surprise, "It was from Madam, since the Old Madem misses you, why don't you go back and take a look?"
Xie Jingxi stared at her, Ming Yu immediately knew that she had talked too much, and quickly took out the card, "I know miss, the card has dropped to the toilet, no one saw it."
Xie Jingxi, "..."
What a clever girl.
As the invitation sent by the Lady Xu unluckily went to the toilet, Xie Jingxi was unable to follow him back to the Xie Clan. After waiting for a long time, the Lady Xu could no longer sit still and called out to the Nanny Feng: "Did you really send the invitation over?"
"Ugh …" It should have been sent over. " Nanny Feng has a lot of eyes, one look and she could tell that this invitation was not sent over, or that Third Miss did not want to come at all, so she comforted her: "However, it is also possible that Third Miss was busy and did not have the time to look around, and handed this card over through a small door, so it did not disturb Marquis Mansion, or maybe it did not even reach Third Miss at all."
felt a little better, "Even though I said that, how can I not be anxious right now? Furthermore, that's for Young Master to marry an aunt, it's more or less enough, who knows which family's aunt will still be so loud, it's really hard to tell what's going on inside and outside, her father was in trouble for so long, so he should have come back long ago to take a look."
Nanny Feng did not reply, her heart saying that the Third Miss had married into her husband's family, so of course her Marquis Mansion was inside. Could it be that it was because Second Young Master had married an aunt that she decided to stop the strike, and furthermore, you had gotten into a ruckus with the Third Miss before the wedding, if it was anyone else, they would feel uneasy, and it would not be resolved just by giving her a sweet date.
Madam, if you don't wait any longer, even if Third Miss saw this meeting, she probably wouldn't be able to make it in time.
Lady Xu did not sleep well that night, and woke up before daybreak the next day, preparing to see Xie Jingxi today. Lady Xu was a little shrewd today, so she called Nanny Feng over and instructed him: "Go call this young lady over as well."
Lady Xu was a good girl, she knew that the big miss was the all-powerful oil, with her there, it was easier to talk to Xie Jingxi, it was just that even the Nanny Feng pitied the big miss and had bad thoughts about her family, but the Lady Xu, as her own mother, had never worried about it, calling her over whenever she was called over. The big miss had ran errands for the Lady Xu for god knows how many times, always running towards the house like this, she was always unhappy.
Since one of Lu Bingsheng's concubines had a body, she had a bad feeling about it. Since Xie Cen had met with mishap again, she had to be extremely careful in the daytime, when Lady Xu told her to go to his house, Madam Lu immediately hung his head up. It was not his fault that he did not understand, as Xie Family cases were always on his body, so he would naturally avoid Xie Family if he could.
Xie Jingyi really wanted to ruthlessly reject them. Thinking about it, the Xie Family had only a single woman left, her mother did not even have anyone who knew about it, other than her, who else could walk about for the Xie Family. Furthermore, she was afraid that the Lady Xu would get up and do foolish things, so she gritted her teeth and went back to Xie Family.
When Xie Jingyi came here, it was almost noon, but shshestill did not come, so the moment she saw Xie Jingyi, he could not sit still. Eldest Miss, if she did not come back, there would be no one left to ask about her, and I was kind enough to send a message to your third sister yesterday to invite her home, but guess what happened? Even until now, she had pretended not come back, so what if she did not come.
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingyi's head exploded, thinking that the Lady Xu could actually manage to send such a message to the Third Sister, it would be weird if the other party would even bother to answer to him.
