After Hua Xi Wan heard what Yan Jinqiu said, she was not surprised. She even felt that the day she had been waiting for had finally arrived. Since childhood, she and Hua Yiliu had different hobbies and personalities. If not for the fact that Second Uncle was her father's twin brother, she would not have liked to interact too much with people like Hua Yiliu.
Now that Hua Yiliu had this kind of resentment, she was not disappointed or angry. In the final analysis, perhaps it was because she did not treat Hua Yiliu with sincerity.
Hua Yiliu was jealous of her and Second Sister, and she had never treated Hua Yiliu with sincerity. So the three cousins could not blame anyone for ending up like this.
There was no right or wrong in this kind of matter. Whether it was Hua Yiliu, she and Hua Chu Yu, no one had wronged anyone. It was just that they had chosen different paths, walked different directions, and had different lives in the end.
"Send her to the Taoist temple to live for two years to calm her heart." Hua Xi Wan knew that Yan Jinqiu had left this matter to her to deal with, which was equivalent to sparing Hua Yiliu's life. If he personally dealt with it, how could Hua Yiliu keep her life?
"Wang Fei," Bai Xia said worriedly, "Eldest Miss has such thoughts, what if …"
"What if?" Hua Xi Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "Do I really have to do something like kill my own sister to steal a man?"
Bai Xia stilled and was a little confused.
"A man who cares about you does not need you to scheme." Hua Xi Wan looked at herself in the mirror. "Feelings that come from schemes are just illusions. You can deceive others, but you cannot deceive your own heart. A man who is truly worthy of being entrusted with the rest of his life shouldn't let his woman fight with other women. Instead, he should guard himself well. "
"It's nubi's fault. Wang Fei, don't take it to heart." Bai Xia had been by Hua Xi Wan's side for many years and knew her personality. She knew that since she had said this, she wouldn't change her mind. She changed the subject, "Nubi knows what you mean. Wang Ye isn't a fickle man. What I'm worried about is that after First Miss goes to the Daoist temple, what if she does something bad to you? "
"She won't have a chance." Hua Xi Wan picked out a silver hairpin from the jewelry box and inserted it into her hair. She said faintly, "As long as she enters that Taoist temple, she won't be able to see any guests before she thinks things through."
She didn't want Hua Yiliu's life, but it didn't mean that she was a saint who would allow Hua Yiliu to do as she pleased. A Taoist temple that did not welcome guests and was guarded by the people of the wang fu was very suitable for Hua Yiliu.
Three days later, the di daughter of Assistant Minister Hua went to a female Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city to cultivate. Other than the two servant girls close to her, no one else followed her into the temple.
Hua Qing Mao rode on his horse and watched as the door to the temple closed in front of him. His emotions were low and complicated. He turned back to look at the carriage with the insignia of the Nghi 'an Marquis. He pressed his lips together and rode his horse in front of the carriage. "Da Ge, Jiejie has already entered the temple."
He didn't know what his jiejie had done to cause Father and Mother to be dissatisfied. Even Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle who never interfered in their family matters agreed with this. He was young, but he was not an ignorant person. For the entire Fahrenheit Family to make such a decision, it meant that Jiejie must have done something that was taboo and would affect the entire Hua family.
"This year's spring examinations have been delayed for a year because of palace matters. You are young now and stay at home to study. I hope that next year, our Hua family will have another jinshi." Hua Changbao lifted the curtain. He was the heir of the marquis fu, and the eldest son of the Fahrenheit's main branch. So he was very concerned about Hua Qing Mao's future. "Da Guniang will not be wronged in the temple. Do not worry."
No prestigious family was supported by one person or one woman. So if the Hua family had a capable junior, it was a good thing for the Hua family. Hua Qing Mao had a talent for studying. If his mother, Jang, and Hua Yiliu were affected in the imperial examinations next year, it would not be worth it.
"Thank you, Eldest Brother, for your reminder. Didi will remember." Hearing this, Hua Qing Mao relaxed. Since Eldest Cousin had said this, then his jiejie would not be wronged in the temple.
"En." Hua Changbao saw that he was an understanding person and added, "Our actions are for her own good. If she offends some important people, it is possible that she will lose her life. It is a good path to have some peaceful days in the temple."
Hua Qing Mao was shocked. When he looked at Hua Changbao again, the other did not want to speak. His thoughts turned and he knew that he could not continue to ask. After silently remembering, he decided to bury this matter at the bottom of his heart to avoid bringing disaster to the Hua family.
Seeing him like this, Hua Changbao was even more satisfied. No wonder Meimei had written a letter for him to nurture this younger cousin. It seemed that Meimei had been right.
Thinking of Hua Xi Wan, Hua Changbao sighed inside. Even if Xian Wang treated Meimei well, he still did not feel at ease. Right now, the Imperial House was in turmoil. With Meimei's position, it was impossible for her to not be involved.
"Wang Ye, the Hua family, and send the eldest daughter of the Hua family to the Still Water Monastery in the Jing suburbs to cultivate. Do our people still need to move?" Mutong handed over the report his subordinate had written. He carefully looked at Yan Jinqiu who was reading in front of the desk. "Wang Fei does not seem to have a close relationship with this eldest daughter."
"The people of the Hua family are very smart. Our people do not need to move." Yan Jinqiu raised his head and glanced at Mutong. "Before the master speaks, a servant should not think too much."
"This one has overstepped the bounds. Wang Ye, please forgive me." Mutong was so shocked he broke out in a cold sweat. He knelt with a thud in front of Yan Jinqiu. Recently, because the implementation of the various plans had been too smooth, he had somewhat forgotten himself. Now that he was reminded by the prince, he suddenly realized that his words had crossed his own status: "This little one will definitely be careful with his words in the future, and will not make the same mistake as today."
"Stand up," Yan Jinqiu said in a calm tone. "Wang Fei values your ability. Ben wang will give you another chance. If you make the same mistake in the future, I will not keep you by my side."
"This one will remember." When Mutong came out of the study, he realized that there was a thin layer of sweat on his back. Thinking about Wang Ye's words just now, he unconsciously looked in the direction of the main yard. Luckily, he worked hard for Wang Fei and received Wang Fei's favor. Otherwise, today's matter would not have been so easily resolved.
"Grandpa Three Pure Ones bless." Mutong couldn't resist bowing towards the sky. Then he slapped his own face with a moderate amount of force to remind himself.
During her afternoon nap, Hua Xi Wan vaguely felt that she had a very strange dream. When she was half asleep, she saw a green phoenix suddenly fall from a wutong tree. The trunk of this wutong tree was so tall that she could not see the ground clearly. She looked around in a daze. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and then she was slapped onto a branch by this gust of wind.
The moment she reached out, she found to her shock that her hand had become a pair of golden bird wings. She looked speechlessly at the misty surroundings. Had she become a birdperson?
"Wang Fei, wake up."
"Wang Fei, the Crown Princess has hanged herself in Zhu Que Palace!"
Hua Xi Wan immediately woke up from her dream. Opening her eyes, she saw Bai Xia and Red Tassel who had appeared at some unknown time at her bedside. Her mind could not react. "What?"
"Just now, the Wood-main Pipe said that the Crown Princess has hanged herself."
Hanged herself?
Hua Xi Wan sat up dazedly and rubbed her temples. "I want to get up. Get someone to help me change."
After changing into a plain palace robe, Hua Xi Wan sat dazedly in front of the mirror. Had Lin shi really hanged herself or was it an illusion?
She suddenly thought of the words Lin shi had said to her that day in front of the Empress Dowager's mourning hall. At that time, she had felt that it was not right because those words seemed to carry a hint of last words.
Had Lin shi really committed suicide? She had waited until today for Lin Zheng De to marry Second Sister?
"What about the little imperial grandson?" Hua Xi Wan thought of Lin shi's child who was not even half a year old. They all said that mothers were strong. Lin shi had chosen the path of hanging herself. There had to be other reasons.
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Red Tassel say that her hair was done. Hua Xi Wan raised her head to look at herself in the mirror. She stood and asked, "Is Wang Ye in the fu?"
"Wang Ye has not left the fu today," Bai Xia said in a small voice. "When the Wood-main Pipe came, he said that if Wang Fei wants to find Wang Ye, you can go at any time."
Hua Xi Wan did not often go to the study of the wang fu. This time, when she came to the door of the study, she noticed that the manservants here looked normal but were actually very alert. The moment she stepped through the door, these people all bowed to her without any slack.
Because they were so orderly, Hua Xi Wan was shocked. People in the world had fast reactions and slow reactions. Also, these people were doing different things. Unless these people knew that she was coming in before she even entered the yard, they could not have done it so perfectly.
Walking forward, when she reached the door of the study, she looked at Mutong who was holding the curtain for her by the door. She nodded slightly and walked in.
"You came?" Seeing her come in, Yan Jinqiu smiled and stood. He pulled her to sit down with him. Noticing the simple and elegant attire she was wearing, his smile faded slightly. "Are you feeling sorry for the Crown Princess?"
Hua Xi Wan lowered her eyelids to hide the regret in her eyes. "I just feel sorry for her. She is only a few years older than me …"
"You are not the same as her. Don't compare yourself to her." Yan Jinqiu pinched her earlobe to prevent her from comparing herself to the unlucky person who died early. "Lin shi hanged herself because she had no choice. If she did not die, she might not even be able to keep her child."
"She has something to do with the Empress Dowager's death?" Hua Xi Wan quickly figured out the link. "The rumors about the Imperial Grandson are spreading like wildfire. Some people even connected her to Yan Boyi. If she was alive, not only would she have to worry about the Lin Family being implicated if the Empress Dowager was discovered, but even the Imperial Grandson would not be able to raise his head in the future. So she used her death to prove her innocence. Even if she could not completely clear herself of suspicion, she could at least leave behind a good reputation. "
Yan Jinqiu hugged her. "Since you understand, don't let this affect your mood too much. I heard that if a woman is often unhappy, she will not be beautiful."
Hua Xi Wan looked at him sideways. "So you like my face?"
Yan Jinqiu: …
