Chapter 1162 Dressing Up as a Rebellious Vicious Stepmother 41
"Ma'am, my Wan'er is an innocent and good girl, but when she went to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she was raped by a foreigner... or in public. What will she do in the future? Ma'am, you must make the decision for her!"
In the flower hall of the Meng Mansion, the old grandmother of the Xie Mansion wiped away her tears and cried.
The people around couldn't listen anymore, Xihe's face remained unchanged: "Make the decision? How do you think I make the decision? How about letting Master Xiao marry Wan'er?"
"Lord Xiao also said that as long as Wan'er is willing, he will invite a matchmaker to come to the door later."
"Can't!"
The old lady Xie hurriedly interrupted.
Her granddaughter is still waiting to be a queen, how could she marry the son of a traitor!
Xihe raised his eyebrows: "Why not? Master Xiao described as handsome, but he is already a servant of the household department. He has not yet married a wife, and the backyard is clean. I don't know how many girls' dream lovers."
"No! He's against his father and mother, against his brothers and sisters, who..."
"Old Madam, be careful!"
The old lady Xie choked, and reluctantly held back.
Xihe looked at Xie Wan'er: "Wan'er, tell me yourself."
Xie Wan'er pursed her lips, opened and closed her mouth, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she couldn't speak.
Xihe stared at her: "It's my wife's fault that I didn't protect you well at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. If you have any demands, just say so, but, Mr. Xiao is young and promising, he is indeed a good candidate."
"And that's it."
Xie Wan'er raised her head.
Xihe smiled and added: "You'd better think clearly about what happened to this matter and what your life will be like in the future."
Xie Wan'er's pupils shrank, and she stared at Xihe closely.
Xihe didn't dodge or evade.
Xie Wan'er's face instantly turned pale with the insightful look in her eyes.
The nails pierced into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain. Fear wrapped her tightly. At that moment, she felt that the woman in front of her saw everything about her.
She couldn't help but think of her previous life, this woman was not like this at all... In fact, after she was reborn, she found that many things had changed.
For example, the person who should have ascended to the throne was imprisoned, and Menghou, who should have died at the border, not only survived, but also turned into a powerful Shoufu. It became a handkerchief.
And because of Meng Qian's existence, she was supposed to be abused by her stepmother and grew up, but she lived happily in this life, even entering and leaving the palace freely.
What is even more unbelievable is that, like her, the gloomy son of the Hou Mansion who was abused by his stepmother and grew up is actually the son of the former prince. After the death of the first emperor, he passed the throne to him.
It has changed, everything has changed.
The only thing that remains the same is her scarred from the previous life.
Tears welled up in Xie Wan'er's eyes, and a moment of great grief appeared on her body.
It would be great if the person living in this life is her.
Seeing her in pain, Xihe suddenly understood, and then fell silent.
Not everyone can choose their own life. If she didn't show up, or if she prevented Qianer and Xie Waner from making friends out of vigilance, Xie Waner in this life would still repeat the life of the previous life.
In fact, she doesn't hate Xie Wan'er playing tricks to climb up the ladder, as long as it's not too much.
After all, everyone has the right to pursue the life they want.
It's just that Xie Wan'er is still not smart enough.
For example, this time she dived to save someone, she was very sure that the heroine did not save someone by accident, she was sure that Xiao Huaiyu fell into the water in her previous life, so she took a chance to save someone.
In the end, Xiao Huaiyu did fall into the water, but was rescued by the hidden guards.
She herself was rescued by Xiao Jingnian because of this, and her innocence was lost in front of everyone... It can only be said that she has brought it upon herself.
"Wan'er, have you thought about it?"
Having said all this, it would be stupid to pester Xiao Huaiyu without thinking.
"me……"
Xie Wan'er bit her lower lip, suddenly, the slightly hooked corners of the man's mouth flashed in her mind.
"Damn girl, why are you dawdling? Tell me you have a sweetheart, it's His Majesty. As for that nemesis who wants toads and swan meat, let him go away, it's best to go far away!" Mrs. Xie sternly said in her ear .
The face in Xie Wan'er's mind instantly changed to the handsome and noble face of the emperor.
She opened her mouth: "Return to Madam, Wan'er already has her own heart, and she doesn't want to delay Master Xiao." She lowered her eyes.
In this life, she was lucky enough to have a handkerchief with the daughter of the first assistant, and the wife of the first assistant treated her kindly, and even had a relationship before His Majesty ascended the throne. With such good luck, wouldn't it be a pity not to enter the palace?
And she believed that as long as she was given a chance, she would definitely be able to capture His Majesty's heart.
Xihe: "..."
Old Madam Xie shyly said: "Madam, do you think it is possible for His Majesty to send Lord Xiao abroad for a few years? He is in the capital, and Yu Wan'er's reputation will be hindered after all. If he leaves, everyone will leave this place in two years." Forget about it, Wan'er can talk about kissing."
Xihe: "So, this is what you are asking for when you come here today?"
Mrs. Xie nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, isn't this for Wan'er's sake, she is about to say kiss..."
Xihe waved her hand directly: "The appointment of officials is arranged by the imperial court, and I can't make the decision. Of course, you can also rest assured that the matter of Wan'er falling into the water will never be spread randomly by my wife."
"But……"
"Lvwu, see off the guests."
The people in the Xie Mansion wanted to say something, but the maids had already stepped forward to politely ask them to leave.
As soon as the person left, three people walked out from behind the screen.
The stalwart man in black clothes with a fairy-like appearance was Meng Yuchuan, the one with a smile on his lips was the little emperor, and the last man with a firm face was Xiao Jingnian.
"Jingnian, since people don't like you, forget it. I'll ask my mother to help you find another one later."
Xiao Huaiyu was a little embarrassed, if he hadn't fallen into the water suddenly and Xie Wan'er wanted to save him, Xiao Jingnian wouldn't have jumped into the water to save someone.
It stands to reason that if both parties are of marriageable age and have no marriage contract, it would not be impossible to make a pair. As a result, Xiao Jingnian fell in love with him, but he was not.
The smile on Xiao Jingnian's face remained unchanged: "Then I will trouble Your Majesty."
Xiao Huaiyu: "No trouble, no trouble!"
Xihe waited for them to finish speaking, and said slowly: "It's getting late, the mansion has already prepared dinner, why don't your Majesty and Master Xiao leave after eating?"
Xiao Huaiyu naturally nodded, and Xiao Jingnian smiled and said, "Then I will disturb Madam."
Xihe: "...You're welcome."
During the meal, Xihe watched helplessly as the three of them talked about life ideals from poems and poems, and finally talked about political affairs in the court. A strange feeling lingered in his heart. How did the protagonist and the rebel sit together? Where is the table? Still so calm.
After finishing the meal, it was mid-moon, Xiao Huaiyu stayed in the front yard, and Meng Yuchuan was also intoxicated from drinking too much alcohol.
Xihe had no choice but to send Xiao Jingnian off in person, and walked to the door.
Xiao Jingnian stopped suddenly.
Xihe:? ? ?
Xiao Jingnian: "Madam seems to have a lot of opinions on me, I don't know where I offended Madam?"
Xihe: "...Master Xiao was just joking. My wife is just a woman in the inner house. How can I have any objection to my lord? You really think too much."
Xiao Jingnian: "Is that so, but you look at me very vigilantly, as if you are very afraid that I will hurt His Majesty."
Xihe: ...This girl really dares to say anything.
Xihe smiled, as beautiful as pearls under the moonlight: "Your Majesty, I watched him grow up and treated him like a parent. May I ask, which parent in the world is not afraid that their children will be hurt?" Staring into his eyes, "If someone gets hurt Your own children, as parents, will naturally want to take revenge at all costs."
Xiao Jingnian smiled and didn't say anything, but changed the subject and mentioned back then:
"I still remember seeing Madam on the way to the Imperial Mausoleum back then. I didn't expect that Madam has not changed at all after all these years. She is still so beautiful."
Xihe twitched the corner of her mouth and pointed out the door: "My lord, the carriage is coming, be careful on the road."
