"Your Highness, this is unacceptable!" Old Lady Xue trembled as she was helped up from the arhat chair by Madam Xue. She then stepped forward to help King Qi up.

"Yuan Zhen is young and doesn't know his limits. He was spoiled by royal father when he was young, which is why he developed such a competitive personality. When he disturbed the Old Ancestor's gathering, it was all because this king didn't take good care of him. I beg the Old Ancestor, in consideration of my younger sister, not to blame her." Prince Qi was truly a kind person. With a single sentence, he made it clear that he was unable to restrain his sister. What Princess Yuan Zhen did had nothing to do with him, but while he tried to do it on the surface, he seemed to wholeheartedly plead on behalf of the princess.

Old Lady Xue was a person who understood everything, so how could she not understand? With a single step, she helped King Qi up. If the little girls play together, it will be hard to avoid some squabbles. " This was to blame Ms. Zhang first fell down from the mountain, and then was scalded to the face of the young ladies to blame for their little awkwardness. King Qi immediately understood what she meant. Smiling, he said, "The Old Ancestor truly does care for Primordial Pure Yang." Poor Ms. Zhang, after suffering so much injustice, this case was settled with just a few words.

In a moment, Mrs. Xue came back with her servant. Her face was very unsightly as she served Old Lady Xue some tea. "Mother, Miss Zhang is not feeling well. Lady Zhang will be taking her back first." It seemed that the heat was not clear. Otherwise, Lady Zhang would not have left in a hurry with Ms. Zhang. Looking at the time, it was likely that she would have already left after just a glance at the doctor.

I instructed Lu Ping to go out and settle the matter. Lu Ping understood what I meant and returned to my ear after a while. Not only the Zhang Family's female servant, Master Zhang also followed me back. If the Zhang Family only had the female family members and the man from the outer court didn't say anything, it meant that the Zhang Family was willing to part with the Xue Family. Obviously, the Zhang Family wasn't willing to let this go and directly brought their daughter back to the Zhang Family.

Thinking of this, it seemed that Miss Xue's target of her high marriage was about to be revealed. Although the Zhang Family was born into a martial general family, it was still a noble family. The Xue Family would rather offend the Zhang Family than let out the Princess and King Qi.

"Big brother!" With a shout from the princess, she ran to King Qi's side. Xue Dalang hastily lowered his head and retreated to the back of a flower rack. A pot of blooming orchids covered his handsome face. Earlier, when all the young misses hid behind the bamboo curtain, the princess didn't have the slightest intention of doing so. She sat on a chair and drank a cup of tea. No one dared to remind her to hide her noble identity.

"I've disturbed the ladies. I'll come over another day to apologize." King Qi clasped his hands, and all of the wives hurriedly rose to return the greeting. "Grandmother, mother, let me escort you back." King Qi clasped his hands together and hid the spring breeze. His voice was so soothing that "Cousin" Xue's face was flushed red, and she fell to the ground, unaware that the handkerchief in her hand had fallen to the ground. Xue Tai Lang looked deeply into the bamboo curtain and saw that the woman was staring at him through a crack in the curtain. She was clearly looking in my direction.

My palm immediately sweated. He definitely remembered what happened in his previous life!

When King Qi and Xue Danlang left the room, Miss Xue gave a cold snort. She tossed the handkerchief in her hand and stomped heavily over Miss Xue's handkerchief, throwing the bamboo curtain outside the room. Miss Xue glared at Miss Xue San and bent down to pick up the handkerchief. Miss Xue reached out her hand to stop her sister. The maidservant next to Miss Xue picked up the handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers and handed it over to Miss Xue. Miss Xue took a deep breath and pulled her sister to stand up.

Everyone in the Xue family was elated by Prince Qi's remark about his cousin. Lady Jiang carefully sized up Miss Xue and took her hand with a smile. She pulled out a golden stick from her head and pushed it into the Miss' hands. "You're lucky, Eldest Miss!" She reached out her hand to receive the hairpin, but neither could she. She tugged at Eldest Miss Jiang and said, "My wife is ashamed of me, but my younger sister will help me seek justice!" Big Miss Jiang smiled as she took Miss Xue's hand, "I can't decide what to do with my mother!" Everyone laughed when they saw this.

After dinner, Mrs. Xue brought Miss Xue and Miss Xue to see off the guests. After eating, Miss Xue said that she was not feeling well and went back to her own courtyard. Mrs. Xue escorted Miss Xue and Miss Xue to her room. Miss Jiang and Miss Er held my hand. "When my sister is free, I will post a invitation to my sister to come over to our house and play." I smiled and saw that there was no special expression on my mother's face. "Grandmother isn't feeling very well these days. Let's wait for her to warm up a bit more!" My mother relaxed a lot when she heard my answer.

As he sat in the carriage, his mother's eyebrows knitted together. "Why did you fall into the water so easily?"

"My daughter accidentally slipped on a rock." I lowered my head. Before I figure out the reason, I can't tell my mother about Second Miss Xue pushing me. Today, Madame Chiang pointed to my appearance in the midst of my mother's and Third Wife's eye contact. I was afraid that if I told my mother the truth before I found out about these matters, it would lead to an unpredictable outcome.

"How could he be so careless!" His reprimand was especially harsh in the mother's mouth, "Why did so many ladies fall into the water together with you?" His mother became even angrier as she spoke. She slammed her palm on the tea table, causing the teacup to jump a few times before returning to the table.

"Daughter. Daughter. Your daughter really doesn't know. " I lowered my head and wrung the handkerchief with all my might. I bit my lips and pretended to be extremely scared. However, no matter what I said, my tears wouldn't fall. Seriously! He needed to practice hard and shed tears when he needed to.

Mama Chen advised her mother, "Miss didn't do it on purpose, it's against your will to be a guest." Hearing what Mama Chen said, I was shocked. Could it be that she knew something? She looked at my mother, her expression softer than before. It seemed that her mother wanted to say that I was in her hands, but she had misjudged my intentions.

Mama Chen was half-kneeling on the cushions, massaging her mother's shoulders, talking about family matters. Her mother's eyes were closed, listening to the words of the old servant she trusted. She looked completely relaxed. We sat opposite each other. On the table, there was a small oil lamp, its light flickering on my mother's face. The fine lines at the corner of my eyes made the corners of my mother's mouth twitch.

I sat in the car and thought back to all the unforeseen events that happened today. First, Miss Xue and Second Miss Xue conspired to push me into the water, then Xue Dalang's words and eyes, then the princess humiliated Miss Zhang, then the princess's brother, Lu Ping, and that seemingly gentle and refined King Qi. It seemed like it was a coincidence, but how could it be such a coincidence? Was there a reason why the princess was not a fool? And why would King Qi marry Miss Xue, and why would the Xue Clan be related to King Qi at such a crucial moment?

Thinking of this, I fell asleep, until I heard the call of Lu Ping beside me, which opened my eyes.

"Miss, we're here!" Lu Ping gently shook my sleeve. Her eyes were filled with worry. "Miss, are you tired?" Let's go back and rest! " I shook my head and got out of the car under the care of Lush Pym and headed straight for Grandmother's yard.
