In fact, Xie Mingxi has already made preparations.
If Aunt Ding takes the opportunity to bite her or dig up old things, she will carry out the dead Princess Yongning.
Aunt Ding is just a concubine. In terms of etiquette and law, the aunt is the mother. Even if she is filial, she must also be filial to her aunt.
Princess Yongning is dead, who can accuse her of disrespecting her aunt?
She did not expect that Aunt Ding would open her mouth to protect her.
She never thought that after so many years of estrangement between mother and daughter, Aunt Ding would stand in front of her like a real mother.
Xie Mingxi's mood at this moment was too complicated to describe.
Aunt Ding's answer certainly did not satisfy Queen Mother Yu.
Empress Dowager Yu's eyes darkened, and invisible pressure spread: "Ms. Ding, you must not lie even a single word in front of the Ai family."
"If, according to what you said, there is no estrangement between you and Mr. Xie, why do you never have any contact with your biological mother and daughter? Why do you stay in the Xie family to recuperate, and Mr. Xie never receives any reward or visits?"
Aunt Ding was silent for a moment and then replied in a low voice: "Because I did something wrong that I did to her in the past. She has some resentment towards me as her own mother."
"I felt sorry for her first, no wonder she refused to pay attention to me."
As she spoke, Aunt Ding finally plucked up the courage to raise her head, revealing her haggard and thin face that no longer looked as beautiful as before.
Aunt Ding and Xie Mingxi's deep gazes touched in the air, and their hearts trembled. A strong sourness surged into their noses, and warm liquid was ready to flow in their eyes.
Aunt Ding bit her lip hard and swallowed back her tears.
In the past, she loved to shed tears and show her weakness to others. But in the past few years, she has shed all her tears. She was blinded by crying, and no one felt sorry for her. What's the use of crying?
Today in this Jiaofang Palace, she cannot cry.
This may be the only chance in her life to save her daughter.
Empress Dowager Yu snorted in her heart and used her trump card: "Xie Yuanting and Xie are full brothers and sisters from the same mother. What grudges are there between them? Why was Xie Yuanting's right leg broken and sent to Lin'an's old house? Is this related to
Is it related to Xie?"
The son is Aunt Ding’s lifeblood.
Empress Dowager Yu had already ordered people to inquire about the old affairs of the Xie family's house, and that's why today's sudden attack happened! Aunt Ding will definitely reveal her flaws when she mentions Xie Yuanting.
Sure enough, when she heard Xie Yuanting's name, Aunt Ding's whole body trembled again, and her expression changed.
Queen Mother Yu felt quite happy and glanced at the calm-looking Xie Mingxi calmly. She sneered in her heart and continued to ask: "Does Mrs. Xie respect your brother?"
…
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips.
At this moment, she suddenly didn't want to do anything or say anything.
She wanted to sit on the sidelines and see how Aunt Ding would respond.
It is undoubtedly unwise to be so passive. She should counterattack with sharp words, take over the conversation, and eliminate hidden dangers. This is her Xie Mingxi style!
Xiao Yuhan and Yin Xiaoxiao looked over worriedly. Concubine Mei's anxious and nervous eyes fell on her face. Princess Linjiang and several other princesses who were close to Empress Dowager Yu were all waiting with ill intentions.
lively.
However, Xie Mingxi did nothing.
She just looked at Aunt Ding quietly, as calm as an outsider, so calm that she was almost indifferent.
A short moment seemed like an eternity had passed.
Aunt Ding finally opened her mouth tremblingly: "Yuan Ting was severely punished because of his bad conduct and humiliation of the family. In anger, the master ordered him to be sent to the old house to study and cultivate his character. Everything is the same as the queen's.
It’s irrelevant.”
Xie Mingxi's eyes were slightly hot.
Everything in the past and present lives flashed by in an instant like a fleeting glimpse of light.
She always thought that she was heartless, indifferent and unfeeling, which was why she was invincible. In fact, she had never really let go. The hurt she had suffered was forever etched in her heart and could never be erased.
But from this moment on, she will no longer hate Aunt Ding.
…
Today's drama is still lively, but it is completely different from what was expected.
Xie Mingxi smiled and opened her mouth: "Is there anything else you want to inquire about, Queen Mother?"
Queen Mother Yu's blood surged, and she could still smile: "Thanks to the harmony and friendship of the family, the Queen has never acted disobediently or unfilially. The rumors inside and outside the palace are really unbearable. The Ai family has asked clearly today, and must
We need to investigate closely to find out where the rumors come from. To restore the queen’s reputation."
Xie Mingxi looked grateful: "My daughter-in-law has thanked her mother for this."
Xiao Yuhan, who had never spoken a word, said warmly: "It's all a misunderstanding. It's a good thing to ask clearly. With the mother's order, no one in the palace or outside the palace dares to gossip anymore."
Empress Dowager Yu glanced at Xiao Yuhan with a smile but not a smile: "What Xiao said makes sense."
Xiao Yuhan's heart trembled and he did not dare to say any more.
Yin Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, had been holding back for a long time without making a sound, and now she couldn't help it anymore: "This matter needs to be investigated carefully. Who is it that makes waves without wind, and just relies on the wind to slander the queen's reputation?"
Zhao Changqing lowered his head and said nothing.
King Lu died, and she lived with her two children in Prince Lu's palace. It was better to do less than to do more. The Queen Mother and the Empress were fighting, so it was better for her to get less involved.
Empress Dowager Yu worked hard and failed, and she was very angry. With a calm face, she said calmly: "The Ai family's illness has not been cured yet, so it is not appropriate to worry about it. Let Mrs. Xiao go and check this matter!"
The unlucky Xiao Yuhan took the job and said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law will obey her mother's order."
Queen Mother Yu showed her tiredness, and Princess Linjiang beside her immediately said: "I will help the Queen Mother go back to her bedroom to rest."
Empress Dowager Yu nodded slightly and gave an instruction casually: "Mrs. Xie, since your mother's family has entered the palace, please take them to Fulin Palace to have a chat."
Xie Mingxi responded with a smile.
…
After a stick of incense.
Mrs. Xu, who held her head high and held her chest high, suddenly felt weak in her legs after stepping into Fulin Palace.
Fortunately, Ms. Que was prepared and quickly reached out to support Ms. Xu: "Mother-in-law, are you okay?"
Mrs. Xu reached out and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: "It's okay."
It’s just a feeling of happiness and fear that I escaped being killed by the guillotine!
Seeing this, Xie Mingxi couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and chuckled: "Thanks to my grandmother's clever response today, I passed this test easily."
Xu laughed at herself: "Actually, I said those words to cheer myself up. Now probably everyone in the capital knows about my disgraceful past. I can't hide my face all the time.
, just admit it shamelessly."
Not everyone can do this kind of thing.
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "Grandma, don't worry. There are a lot of new things in the capital, and these rumors will be over soon."
After saying that, Xie Mingxi looked at Aunt Ding.
