The empress dowager's funeral was a top priority for the country. Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge had ordered that no merriment such as singing, dancing, or even flattery was allowed within half a year, and also no marriage was allowed. And so on and so forth.
Xi Jiu Er did not wait for the ex-sister-in-law to return and immediately ask Liu Xiang to investigate. The news she got was that the palace maid on duty had died under a heavy punishment, and there were four of them, no more and no less.
"Princess, could this ex-sister-in-law have already …" The relationship between Liu Xiang and ex-sister-in-law was extremely close, the ex-sister-in-law took care of her like a big sister, but after seeing that Xi Jiu Er was feeling unsettled and did not know what had happened, the ex-sister-in-law's enemy was actually the Empress Dowager!
"Remember, ex-sister-in-law went back to visit her family. The date of return is uncertain." Xi Jiu Er quickly regained her composure, stood up and instructed Liu Shui and Liu Xiang: "Let's go, our heart-nourishing hall."
On the carriage, Liu Xiang wanted to ask whether or not Xi Jiu Er was discovered to be a virgin on the night of the wedding.
"Princess …" Madame... Young Master got up really early today … " It was because she left too early that Liu Xiang felt that something must have happened last night. Thinking about ex-sister-in-law again, Liu Xiang choked with emotions.
After arriving at the heart-nourishing hall and discovering that Feng Qing Cheng was there, he was very curious about why he was here. Liu Xiang came over and whispered, "Madame, Young Master is the doctor here!"
Xi Jiu Er did not know what to say. After that, she went into the inner hall and called for the manager: "When ex-sister-in-law left, he probably told you everything clearly. I will not say much.
"Princess, why is that? "The business is doing well. How do you mean close the door?" The supervisor asked with a puzzled expression.
Xi Jiu Er only smiled, the manager laughed awkwardly, then took the silver and was about to leave, after hesitating for a bit, he turned around and said softly: "Princess … There's something this little one doesn't know whether I should tell you or not. "
"What is it?"
The manager looked at Liu Xiang who was at the side … As for Liu Shui, she took the opportunity to go out and look for food. Xi Jiu Er said indifferently: "Liu Xiang is my personal servant, if you have anything, just say it."
"Yes." The steward called out to the inside of the house, "Why aren't you coming out yet?" The one who answered was a youngster with a thin figure. He had his head lowered and was cowering to the side.
The young man slowly raised his head and met Xi Jiu Er's eyes. The killing intent in her eyes shocked everyone. With a flick of his wrist and a 'dong' sound, he fell down from the chair and revealed a surprised expression.
It was too fast, Liu Xiang did not even have time to react before her vision turned black and she fainted!
The overseer at the side was so frightened that his entire body seemed to have gone limp. Seeing that the young man was about to leave, the young man panicked and said, "From now on, this store is yours!" These words made him feel much more at ease. "Many thanks, young master. In the future, this servant will make you my …" "Where can I see him?" Xi Jiu Er, you have finally landed in my hands, I have been waiting for this day to come where I have lost too much, and I have spent my entire life waiting, it is very worth it. " Xi Wan Feng's voice seemed to be far away... Xi Wan Feng was not dead?
Xi Jiu Er curled up on top of the haystack, as if she had already fallen asleep. However, her sleep was very restless, as if she was having a nightmare.
In his dreams, he could see memories of his previous life that were filled with unbearable pain. His head hurt so much that he felt like a madman. That heart-wrenching past.
When she woke up in a daze, Xi Jiu Er rubbed his head and felt a splitting headache. Suddenly, she heard a sound, and upon leaving the room, she saw a complacent Xi Wan Feng looking at her with malicious intent.
"Sure enough, you didn't die." Xi Jiu Er said indifferently, her heart having a faint suspicion as to how she escaped to the sky. Seeing how different she was in the past, the woman's seductive appearance had already outlined, making her look more beautiful.
Xi Jiu Er knew that Xi Wan Feng would definitely use this opportunity to torture him.
In her previous life, the two of them had fought for so long, and now that she was in Xi Wan Feng's hands, she thought back to that watertight plan of hers. A trace of fear rose in his heart. Xi Wan Feng slowly walked over, the pleased look in his eyes was obvious, maybe he was showing it to Xi Jiu Er.
Xi Wan Feng seemed to want to show off his might on her body, with his exquisite makeup and his extravagant and gorgeous long skirt. Like a ball of flame that pounced over, he made a clear contrast with the dark room. He came to Xi Jiu Er's side and squatted down as he smiled, "My good little sister, I heard that you married a doctor? Oh, you are truly wronged, that doctor looks extremely good, even better than Prince Xian, no wonder you have taken a fancy to him. "
Xi Jiu Er took a deep breath, then said lightly: "This is my problem, you don't need to care, don't you want to know where your mother is?
"Xi Jiu Er, you are in my hands now, and you still think highly of me?" Xi Wan Feng sneered: "I never treated you as an opponent before, but later on I realized that I was the one that was fooled by you. Now that you're in my hands, we'll settle old debts together. My mother's, my sister's, mine, I'll make you repay me ten times over. "
"Don't you want to know the whereabouts of the First Lady? Aren't you very filial? " Xi Jiu Er pursed his lips and said.
Xi Wan Feng's face stiffened. She did not expect Xi Jiu Er to be so calm, she thought she would be able to see her begging for mercy, her sorry state, and her miserable scream. Unfortunately, the other party didn't take her seriously at all, simply angering her to death.
Xi Wan Feng directly slapped Xi Jiu Er a few times in the face, and said condescendingly: "Lowly person, you're still showing off your mouth even after you're already dead."
Xi Jiu Er's face was slapped so hard that she crashed into a wall with a thud. Her head went dizzy and she laid down on the pile of grass. I'm not as despicable as you. I clearly don't like you, but you still stick close to me? She even drugged her … Woo … "What? Did I say something wrong? Did you get angry from embarrassment?"
"Xi Jiu Er, do you think you can enrage me so that you can die more easily? Heh heh, I'm telling you, I'm going to torture you slowly, so I won't be angry no matter what you say. On the contrary, I would be happy. Why? "Because you're afraid. You fell into my, Xi Wan Feng's, hands. You're afraid, hahaha …" Making Xi Jiu Er afraid was a very successful thing for her.
Xi Jiu Er did not reveal the so-called 'fear' Xi Wan Feng, but she was still calm and composed: "Sometimes, when you think about it, I feel that you are quite pitiful. God is very unfair to you, and I have taken advantage of everything good that you want. That doctor might not have any family background, but with my grandfather's help, his career will definitely be smooth sailing. Look at Prince Xian, your husband in name also seems to have feelings for me. Tsk tsk, how pitiful. Tell me, why are you so unworthy? "
