After dinner, the three children went back to the yard.
Xie Jun did not leave, however, and "stayed" in Ronghe Hall.
It's a pity that husband and wife never have time to be truly alone. Baguio and Dian Cui stayed by the side at all times. They were both a reminder and a precaution.
Xie Jun saw this and felt humiliated and angry in his heart.
For so many years, he had been pretending in front of others, prided himself on being a "beautiful wife and concubine", and had hid it from almost everyone. But he could not deceive himself no matter what.
Princess Yongning chose him as her husband, not because of his outstanding handsome appearance, but because he came from a poor family and had no foundation in the court. He could be manipulated by her!
For more than ten years, he and Princess Yongning have never slept in the same room.
Even the "bridal chamber night of flowers and candles" back then was not a happy one!
"Xie Jun!" Princess Yongning called him by her name coldly: "Ming Niang is a concubine, Yun Niang is your legitimate daughter! You are partial, and you should be partial to Yun Niang!"
Direct descendant?
There was a strong sarcasm in Xie Jun's eyes, and he responded calmly: "Ming Ming is more talented than I was when I was young. How can I, as a father, not be partial to such an outstanding daughter?"
The only redeeming feature of Xie Yunxi is his face.
Princess Yongning heard the meaning of Xie Jun's words, and her face suddenly turned cold.
All the jade and green trees bowed their heads and remained silent.
…
There was almost deathly silence in the bedroom.
It was so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat.
Although Yao Bi Diancui did not raise her head, she could still clearly feel the frightening silent confrontation between the two masters.
Xie Jun and Princess Yongning looked at each other. After a long time, Xie Jun was defeated first: "I have written down what the princess said."
Princess Yongning sneered: "Just remember."
"Xie Jun! Please remember your identity clearly for me! You must think twice before you speak or act. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, my father will not be the first to spare you!"
Xie Jun's blood surged and he made a fist with his right hand.
Soft rice is not that delicious either.
Over the years, his status as the son-in-law of King Huainan has brought him great convenience and countless benefits. Princess Yongning has also suffered enough from idleness and sullenness.
Xie Jun's face was really ugly, and he said abruptly: "In another month, it will be Yanran's memorial day."
The man with an ugly face became the princess of Yongning County.
Princess Yongning stared at Xie Jun with cold eyes, and her voice was full of chills: "The princess has a very good memory. A mere dowry maid, who has been dead for ten years, can remember it so clearly."
Princess Yongning's fierce gaze, as if she was choosing someone to devour, made Xie Jun frightened, but also filled with indescribable joy. A bright and lovely girl's face vaguely appeared in his mind.
…
At that time, Xie Jun was chosen as the son-in-law by the king of Huainan, and he had met Princess Yongning from a distance.
When she was young, Princess Yongning had black hair like ink, bright eyes and red lips, and was extremely stunning.
When Xie Jun saw her, his heart was filled with excitement and he couldn't help himself. He soon made up his mind that he would rather bear the bad reputation of regretting his marriage than marry Princess Yongning.
After trying his best to coax his cousin Ding Hanxiang to give up her position as the head wife, he married Princess Yongning in style. He was full of excitement and joy, but on the wedding night, he was thrown a basin of ice water in front of him and was knocked unconscious.
Princess Yongning showed no joy and was not even interested in looking at him.
On the wedding night, Yanran, the dowry maid, consummated the marriage on his behalf.
Yanran is also a bright beauty. Although she is in perfect shape, she is quite charming and extremely soft when sleeping on the table. Xie Jun enjoys all the blessings of beauty, but his self-esteem as a husband is greatly humiliated.
However, he finally climbed up to the Huainan Palace and would never give up!
This suffocating breath must be swallowed even if it is not swallowed.
The couple is "loving and harmonious" in front of others, but in private they are as cold as ice.
He actually intended to melt this "ice". However, Princess Yongning wouldn't let him get close at all, not to mention having sex, even touching her fingers.
A year later, Yanran became pregnant.
Princess Yongning immediately announced that she was pregnant, but privately sent Yanran to a remote farm to recuperate.
After that, Princess Yongning had been "nurturing her baby" in the mansion. More than eight months later, Yanran gave birth in the farm. On the night of the same day, Princess Yongning had "abdominal pain" and gave birth to a daughter, named Yunxi.
Xie Jun is happy to have a "legitimate daughter".
Yanran "died" of illness soon.
A young and vivid life died quietly.
…
For ten years, Princess Yongning never mentioned Yanran's death.
Every time when he was at a disadvantage and felt depressed, Xie Jun couldn't help but mention it. Seeing Princess Yongning's face full of anger but holding back, Xie Jun felt more and more happy.
"Speaking of which, Dian Cui does look a bit like Yan Ran." Xie Jun added, pretending to be casual.
Dian Cui was startled and raised his head reflexively.
When she was bought into the mansion eight years ago, Yanran had been buried for two years. She had also heard of the name Yanran, but she never knew that her appearance was similar to Yanran...
So why did Princess Yongning take a fancy to her among dozens of maids?
Princess Yongning's tone was as cold as winter frost: "Xie Jun! Get out immediately!"
For a man, such a tone is undoubtedly a great humiliation!
Xie Jun's eyes flashed with anger, he sneered and walked away.
Yao Bi hesitated for a moment, but did not follow her to serve her. Instead, she walked to Princess Yongning and softly comforted her: "Anger is very harmful to the body! Princess, please calm down!"
Princess Yongning's face was flushed with anger, and she took a deep breath: "Step back first."
Yao Bi did not dare to disobey the order and quietly retreated.
The moment he closed the door, Dian Cui shouted in surprise.
Yao Bi smiled helplessly.
When the king of hell fights, the kid will suffer! I am afraid that she and Diancui will both suffer a lot today.
…
The next day, Bishui Pavilion.
"Miss Qizhen, Yapo is here." Congyu reported respectfully.
Xie Mingxi nodded slightly.
After a while, Yapo, dressed in silk clothes, walked in.
This lady's surname was Wu. She often went in and out of official residences and knew the rules. She bowed respectfully and asked, "I wonder what kind of servant Miss Xie San wants to buy?"
Xie Mingxi said calmly: "I want to buy the sold slaves of the prisoner's palace."
Wu Yapo was stunned and subconsciously looked up.
This Miss Xie San was extremely beautiful and beautiful, and she looked like a wealthy official from a wealthy family.
What a delicate girl like this is buying is not a maid, but a slave of a prisoner?
Before Wu Yapo could post, Xie Mingxi added: "It doesn't matter if you are a little older. You must have experience in managing a shop or a farm. Both men and women are welcome!"
"I'll give you two days. After two days, bring people into the house."
Wu Yapo responded one by one.
Fuyu walked over quickly, holding an exquisite flower raft in his hand: "Miss, the Huainan Prince's Palace has sent an invitation."
