Hua Xi Wan was not surprised at Yan Jinqiu's reaction. Her personal servant girls released a breath because of this. Since Wang Ye had such an attitude, it meant that he did not care about Yuan Shu Yi at all.
In this world, there were some relationships between men and women that were the most troublesome. For example, cousins, sworn brother and sister, or close friends. Who knew when this pure relationship would become not so pure?
That night, husband and wife had a wonderful night. When Yan Jinqiu went to court the next day, Hua Xi Wan heard a servant report that Yuan Shu Yi wanted to see her.
"Yuan Shu Yi wants to see me?" Hua Xi Wan touched the phoenix hairpin in her hair in front of the copper mirror. After she finished drawing the yellow flower on her forehead, she said, "She is just a lowly servant. What does she have to ask to see me?"
The servant girl who had delivered the message carefully raised her chin. When she saw the flower patterns on Hua Xi Wan's grand dress, she quickly lowered her head. Her voice was slightly nervous. "She said she has an important secret to tell you, and it is related to the wang fu. So nubi did not dare to delay and came to report this matter to you."
"Oh?" Hua Xi Wan raised an eyebrow. Holding Bai Xia's hand, she slowly stood up. "Tell her to wait outside."
"Yes." Seeing that wang fei did not take her anger out on her, the servant girl sighed in relief. After bowing, she left. When she walked out of the inner yard, she looked at Yuan Shu Yi who was still drawing her eyebrows and lips even though she was a lowly servant. Her expression was ugly as she said, "Wang fei told you to wait. Someone will call you in later." Finishing, she did not care if Yuan Shu Yi had heard her clearly. She cursed and left in a hurry.
Yuan Shu Yi's expression was ugly. But when she saw the luxurious inner yard through the moon door, she forced the discontent on her face to become docile and respectful.
She stood outside for about ten minutes before a green-robed servant girl finally took her in. With her current status, she did not have the right to see Wang Fei in the main hall, so after the servant girl led her to the side hall, she left.
She had been to Xian Wang Fu before, but at that time, although she felt that Xian Wang Fu's scenery was not bad, it was not to the point of being amazed. But now she realized that the tables and chairs inside were all made of expensive wood. Any one of the chairs could be worth several years of an ordinary family's living expenses.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, she turned around and saw Hua Xi Wan walking towards her like the moon surrounded by stars. The fabric on her body was glowing and looked extremely luxurious. The embroidery on the hem of her skirt was so vivid that it was enough to make many women envious. The Phoenix Pearl and Flying Wing Buyao in her hair was even more valuable. Coupled with her devastatingly beautiful face, who knew how many women would want to replace her?
Seeing Hua Xi Wan walk closer, she couldn't help but pull her rough hands into her sleeves. She respectfully curtsied: "Nubi greets Wang Fei."
Hua Xi Wan stopped and glanced at Yuan Shu Yi. Then she held Bai Xia's hand and sat down on the seat of honor.
Yuan Shu Yi had thought that she would pretend to be close and not let her curtsy. Her mouth tensed unnaturally, but Hua Xi Wan did not speak. She could only bend her knees and not stand.
Hua Xi Wan was used to acting. She would not compromise herself to pretend to be magnanimous and gentle. She took the stomach warming tea that Red Tassel handed over and took a sip before saying: "No need for formalities. I heard that you were looking for me?"
Did the great Xian Wang Fei not know how to be tactful?
Yuan Shu Yi was stunned for a moment. Then she looked around and said mysteriously: "Wang Fei, please ask the irrelevant people to leave."
Hua Xi Wan raised her head. The servants in the inner hall left, but Bai Xia and Red Tassel still stood behind her and did not move.
Yuan Shu Yi glanced at Bai Xia and Red Tassel. The deference on her face disappeared without a trace. She said: "This is not normal. You may not believe me, but everything I said is true."
Hua Xi Wan looked at her and did not speak. She was waiting for her to reveal the shocking secret.
"Last year, the body of Young Master Zhang was found in the suburbs. He died miserably. Do you know who the mastermind is?"
Hua Xi Wan rested her chin on her hand and still did not speak.
Seeing Hua Xi Wan's calm face, Yuan Shu Yi gritted her teeth: "The mastermind is your husband, Xian Wang."
"Why should I believe you?" Hua Xi Wan asked with a half smile. "I don't believe the person next to me, but I believe a woman who misses the person next to me. Do you think I am stupid?"
"I don't know if you are stupid or not, but I know that your husband is scheming." Yuan Shu Yi gritted her teeth and said, "And his brother-in-law. Do you really think that the Crown Prince and his sister did it?"
"En, this is a very bold guess." Hua Xi Wan lazily rubbed her chin with her index finger. "Not to mention whether these things are true or not, even if they are true, to me, it is a trivial matter."
Yuan Shu Yi's expression changed slightly. She looked in shock at Hua Xi Wan. As a woman, she found that the person next to her was a cold-blooded and ruthless murderer. Did she not feel uncomfortable at all?
"Let me talk about you." Hua Xi Wan stood and walked in front of Yuan Shu Yi. She smiled and said, "Since you know that he is that kind of person, why do you still miss him? Or, you made up such an unbelievable story to drive a wedge between Ziling and me, and then take advantage of the situation? "
Yuan Shu Yi snorted coldly and said, "If you don't believe me, then forget it." She did have such thoughts, but Hua Xi Wan's attitude of not believing at all made her feel that she did not know where to start.
Seeing her attitude, Hua Xi Wan sneered, "It is up to you whether to say it or not. It is up to me whether to believe it or not. Naturally, it is up to you."
Seeing Hua Xi Wan like this, Yuan Shu Yi inexplicably felt an impulse to slap her. But the situation was beyond her, so she could only endure.
"Do you have anything else to say? If not, you can leave. " Hua Xi Wan gradually put away the smile on her face, "But there is something I have to say first. Once you enter this wang fu, do not remember the past."
Yuan Shu Yi's expression instantly became ugly. At this time, she heard footsteps outside the door. She instantly had an angry thought.
"Wang Fei, nubi did not mean that. Please have mercy on me!"
Yan Jinqiu had just entered the yard when he suddenly heard a familiar and sharp voice coming from the side hall. Then there was the sound of a table and chair being knocked over.
His face darkened slightly. He looked at the servants standing guard outside. He quickly walked forward and kicked open the door to the side hall. He saw Yuan Shu Yi lying on her back at the corner of the table. Her forehead was bleeding, and her body was soaked as though someone had poured tea on her. Hua Xi Wan stood to the side, holding a servant girl's hand. She looked coldly at Yuan Shu Yi.
"Biao Ge …" Yuan Shu Yi pressed her forehead and tried to get up. She forced herself to stand up, but then her entire body went limp. She looked extremely helpless and pitiful.
There were many servants in the surroundings, but no one looked around. They all held their breaths as though they did not hear or see anything.
Seeing the situation in the room, Yan Jinqiu's expression became increasingly ugly. In the end, he said in a deep voice, "Come!"
Yuan Shu Yi's gaze fell on Hua Xi Wan through the gaps between her fingers. She gave a disdainful smile.
"Take this lowly servant away!" Yan Jinqiu said icily, "She disturbed wang fei's peace. Her crime is unforgivable. Ten strokes of the cane."
Yuan Shu Yi looked with a pale face at Yan Jinqiu. She had never thought that Yan Jinqiu would make such a choice. She turned her head to look at Hua Xi Wan on the side. She saw a slight smile on her face as though she had predicted that Yan Jinqiu would react like this.
A taijian quickly covered Yuan Shu Yi's mouth and dragged her away. From beginning to end, she didn't even have a chance to speak.
Yuan Shu Yi was in so much pain that she almost couldn't stand. She raised her head to look at the indifferent servants in the surroundings and almost fainted.
She touched her forehead. The blood had stopped. Thinking about how she had gathered her courage to hit the corner of the table, she couldn't help but feel hatred. She had done everything, but was she not as good as Hua Xi Wan's face that had some beauty?
In the inner compound, Hua Xi Wan smiled and said, "Why did you leave court so early today?"
"I have to entertain guests today. Of course I have to think of a way to return home early." Yan Jinqiu took off his embroidered dragon robe and put on his usual brocade robe. "At this time, they should be arriving soon?"
"How can they be so fast? You just left court. Aren't my grandfather and father the same?" Hua Xi Wan smiled. "Just now, I thought that you would feel pity for your pitiful cousin."
"You are a wang fei. There are many ways to torment her. You don't have to do it yourself." Yan Jinqiu said disdainfully. "Yuan Shu Yi really thinks of me as a brainless man."
Hua Xi Wan smiled lightly and didn't speak. In reality, Yuan Shu Yi did not underestimate Yan Jinqiu's cunning. She just forgot one thing. The trick of injuring herself was only effective against people who pitied her. For a man who didn't have her in his heart, any deliberate trick would be exposed.
Yuan Shu Yi calculated all the coincidences, but not the human heart. Not to mention that Yan Jinqiu knew that she would not use such methods to harm a woman. Even if she did harm Yuan Shu Yi, for Yan Jinqiu, it was just a small matter.
In the eyes of a man who didn't care about her, she was nothing.
She reached out to straighten Yan Jinqiu's clothes. Yan Jinqiu gripped her hand and smiled slightly at her.
At the side, Bai Xia saw this scene and thought of this sentence for some reason.
A gentleman is peerless in the world, and a stranger is like jade.
Red Tassel gently pulled on the corner of her clothes and then said in a small voice, "Let's go to the outer compound to welcome furen and the old taitai. They will probably arrive by now."
Bai Xia nodded. The two quietly left the inner compound. Red Tassel said, "Has Yuan Shu Yi been sent to the torture room to be punished?"
Bai Xia frowned. "This Miss Yuan is very cunning and cruel to herself."
It was a pity that she encountered a man like Wang Ye, and a woman like Wang Fei.
"This woman is really shameless," Red Tassel said discontentedly. "I really don't know why the Department of Internal Affairs sent her here. Did they think that the rumors were not enough?"
They knew that Yuan Shu Yi had feelings for Wang Ye, but the Department of Internal Affairs still sent her to the wang fu. Wasn't this going against Wang Fei?
This was too much of a bully.
"There are so many people in the Department of Internal Affairs. Who knows what they are thinking?" Bai Xia smiled faintly and turned to look in the direction of the main compound. "As long as Wang Fei's heart is strong, there is nothing to fear."
How could a truly strong woman be stumped by these little problems?
"You are right. Wang Fei is so smart. What can Yuan Shu Yi's little tricks do to Wang Fei?"
Bai Xia smiled.
