Xie Yunxi cried for a long time, her eyes were swollen like peaches, and she looked quite embarrassed.
Seeing Xie Mingxi, Xie Yunxi's eyes flashed with hatred... Then, Xie Jun's stern scolding rang in her ears: "Yunniang, apologize to Mingniang immediately!"
Xie Mingxi had a good time waiting for Xie Yunxi to bow his head and apologize.
Xie Yunxi bit her lip hard and squeezed out three words from between her teeth: "I'm sorry."
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows, pretending to be surprised: "What is the second sister talking about? Her voice is like mosquitoes and ants, I can't hear it."
Xie Yunxi's eyes turned red, and under Xie Jun's cold gaze, she had to raise her voice: "I'm sorry."
"What happened this morning was what I ordered my servants to do. I was impulsive and almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, my third sister was not injured. Otherwise, I would not be able to step foot into Xie's house again today."
"I hope Third Sister will forgive me this time. Don't tell anyone about this matter, lest the quarrel between you and me spreads and the Xie family's reputation is damaged."
With Xie Jun watching eagerly from the side, Xie Yunxi had to lower her head. While lowering her head to apologize, she secretly gritted her teeth in her heart.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Xie Yunxi, whose face was full of grievances and unwillingness, and twitched the corner of her mouth with a half-smile: "I don't forgive you." He harmed her, said a light apology, and imposed a grounding without pain, and then wanted to end it?
Ha! It’s too easy to think about it!
Xie Yunxi: "..."
Xie Yunxi was so choked that she almost couldn't get up.
Xie Jun also frowned and looked at Xie Mingxi: "Ming Niang, I know you have been wronged this time. I have severely reprimanded Yun Niang and ordered her to ground herself and reflect."
"You are sisters after all, so you won't break up over this..."
Xie Mingxi interrupted Xie Jun lightly: "Father, don't worry, I won't mention this matter in front of outsiders. After all, being murdered by your own sister is not a glorious thing."
"It's just that, after this incident, I will never call her second sister again."
"Repay kindness with kindness, and repay hatred with kindness. If someone treats me well, I will treat them ten times a hundred times. Anyone who wants to harm me is my enemy, Xie Mingxi."
"I will never be merciful to my enemies."
"From today on, you'd better not let her appear in front of me at will. Don't do stupid things to harm me again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Looking at Xie Mingxi's cold and heartless eyes, Xie Yunxi felt cold in her heart.
Until this moment, Xie Yunxi was shocked to realize that she didn't understand Xie Mingxi at all. The third sister in her memory, who was gentle and could be bullied, could be so cold and cruel.
Xie Jun was also shocked: "Ming Niang..."
Xie Mingxi stopped talking and said calmly: "I'm tired today, so I'll go back to Chunjin Pavilion to rest first. It's up to my father to decide how to deal with Xie Yunxi."
Then, turned around and left.
…
Xie Jun punished Xie Yunxi by grounding him for three months.
Within three months, the Four Books must be copied a hundred times. This means that the Four Books must be copied once every day. This punishment is not light.
At this time, Xie Yunxi regretted that it was too late for not staying in the princess's mansion. She cried hard and went to copy the four books honestly.
After hearing this, Mr. Xie was speechless for a long time, and then sighed: "In the past, Ming Niang was smart and considerate. It turns out that you and I were wrong. She turned out to be the one who never looked back."
Xie Jun also had a depressed face: "I thought that Yun Niang would be humble and punish her, and the matter would be over. But I didn't expect that Ming Niang would show no mercy at all."
The plan to "reconcile the sisters as before" was obviously in vain.
Xie Mingxi doesn’t appreciate this at all!
He had already broken up with Princess Yongning and brought Xie Yunxi back. Xie Yuanting, on the other hand, stayed at the Princess's Mansion...
Thinking of Xie Yuanting, the fire in Xie Jun's heart surged up, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This Xie Yuanting actually took the initiative to stay in the Princess's Mansion. He left me as a father aside. It is really hateful!"
Mr. Xie was open-minded and opened his mouth to comfort him: "That's all, don't be too angry. Even if Yuanting stays in the princess's mansion, he is still an heir of the Xie family. Is it possible that he can change his surname to Sheng?"
Xie Jun snorted angrily: "He wants to change it, but it's a pity that the Huainan Palace has no shortage of heirs."
Otherwise, this heartless bastard might just change his surname out of nowhere.
Mr. Xie thought for a moment and asked bluntly: "Ming Niang has made it clear today. Have you decided which of the two daughters you will choose?"
Xie Yunxi chose to return to the Xie Mansion, and Xie Yuanting chose to stay in the Princess Mansion. Everyone has their own considerations and choices.
Now, it's Xie Jun's turn to choose.
Xie Yunxi or Xie Mingxi, who should you choose?
...Do you need to think too much about this?
Of course I choose Xie Mingxi!
Xie Jun opened his mouth decisively and said: "Although Ming Niang is a commoner, her talent is very outstanding. Now she is a genius praised by everyone in Lianchi Academy, and her future will be limitless. As a father, I will never allow anyone to hurt her in the slightest."
Mr. Xie frowned: "That's the right choice for you."
"You know best what is going on with Yun Niang's status as 'direct descendant'. If Princess Yongning turns against her, the word 'direct descendant' will not be worth mentioning. Furthermore, regardless of direct descendants, they are all descendants of the Xie family. Who has any future?"
, it’s all the glory of the Xie family.”
In short, concubine is no longer important. What is important is who is more outstanding.
Xie Jun was convinced and nodded repeatedly: "Father's words make sense."
…
What would Xie Jun choose?
Xie Mingxi was not worried about this problem at all.
With Xie Jun's utilitarian and snobbish attitude, he would definitely choose to be on her side.
To say the least, even if Xie Jun chooses Xie Yunxi, it won't be a big deal to her. It's just that she lacks a weak shield.
Xie Mingxi quickly put the matter aside.
The third day of the academy competition arrived in the blink of an eye.
Xie Mingxi sat in the audience, looking at the young men and women on the stage, silently evaluating them in her heart.
In addition to Lu Chi participating in the competition, Songzhu Academy also had the third prince. The third prince was not as talented as the fourth prince, but he was not a fool. The judges looked at Emperor Jianwen's face and always took care of one or two in their scoring.
Ye Jingzhi is known as the most talented freshman in Boyu Academy in the past years. With such a great reputation, it is not a problem to be among the top three.
There are several other academies that have freshmen who are good at the Four Books this year. Based on this calculation, the situation in today's Four Books competition is obviously not good.
Fang Ruomeng has a timid temperament, while Yan Zhenzhen is bold but lacks composure. Only Qin Sihun has a calm temperament and is good at learning. He has the ability to be among the top three...
The sixth princess's slightly deep voice sounded in her ears: "It seems that the only one who can enter the top three today is Qin Sihun."
Xie Mingxi turned her head slightly, smiled at the Sixth Princess and said, "The two of us have a clear understanding of each other."
The sixth princess smiled silently.
Xie Mingxi whispered: "I always have a feeling that today's competition will not go well." (To be continued)
