Chapter 17 Apathy and the like
"What else?" Yu asked with a frown, "What do you know?"

"Mom, it was Xie Xingchen who spread the news all these years and incited people to ruin my reputation."

"You——" Yu's face froze: "Do you have any evidence?"

"I have no conclusive evidence." Xie Zhaozhao shook his head, "But there are many things that I only told Xie Xingchen in private, but people outside know about them."

"They know very clearly what Yun Qi said to me and what he gave me. They know all the details, and they describe it vividly."

"If it weren't for Xie Xingchen, would I have said this to others to criticize me?"

Yu asked: "Then why didn't you tell your mother this before?"

"I never thought about it that carefully before."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "She is very gentle and soft-spoken. She is also kind to me. Yun Qi comes and makes trouble. She helped me persuade Yun Qi to give up many times, and she also relieved me afterwards."

"But in my dream that night, Chu Nanxuan harmed our whole family. There was blood everywhere... Xie Xingchen was standing in the blood red, smiling so proudly."

Xie Zhaozhao's pretty face turned pale, as if he had fallen into a dream of his previous life again.

"She called me a fool and I deserved to be deceived by her. It was her who ruined my reputation. She just couldn't see me being nice."

"She also said that every time she persuaded Yun Qi to give up on me, she was actually encouraging Yun Qi, saying that where sincerity leads to gold and stone."

"She told Yun Qi that true love is priceless... Yun Qi was instigated by her many times."

Yu's expression changed several times, and she quickly took Xie Zhaozhao into her arms and hugged him, "Don't be afraid, Zhaozhao, it's all a dream."

"But that dream is so real." Xie Zhaozhao murmured, "So now that I see her, I can't help but hate her. What she said reminded Wang Qinyue that I can't bear it."

"Mom, you know, it's not your fault..." Mrs. Yu patted Xie Zhaozhao gently, worried in her heart.

She felt that her daughter might have a slight mental problem.

Therefore, before Mr. Miao checked Xie Zhaozhao's pulse in the afternoon, Mrs. Yu met with Mr. Miao in advance and informed him of Xie Zhaozhao's condition.

When Mr. Miao checked the condition of Ruanjinsan in Xie Zhaozhao's body, he asked a few questions.

Xie Zhaozhao has returned.

After leaving Wangyue Tower, Mrs. Yu immediately asked Mr. Miao, "How is it? Did she suffer from some kind of amnesia?"

"No." Mr. Miao stroked his beard: "Except for the weakness in her limbs, she is fine."

Yu frowned.

If everything is fine, then why do you talk about that dream as if you have experienced it yourself?
The things I dreamed about were too bizarre!
Mr. Miao said: "Ma'am, please stop thinking so wildly. In a few days, when I prepare the antidote for Ruanjin Powder, the young lady will be full of energy again."

"……All right."

In Wangyue Tower, Xie Zhaozhao lay in front of the window and looked at the inkstone washing pool and swing frame in the yard.

In recent times, this is what she likes to do most, looking at things quietly, with an excessively peaceful expression on her pretty face.

Xianggui couldn't help but stepped forward and suggested in a low voice: "Miss, do you want to go down and play on the swing for a while?"

"No."

Xie Zhaozhao flatly refused.

She has lived two lives, and after experiencing life and death, she cannot be like a girl who has been in her prime for twenty years.

In the past few days, her mother had asked her about her dreams obliquely, showing excessive concern and even wondering if she was seriously ill, which she knew.

However, the rebirth cannot be explained. I can only use this bizarre dream to remind my mother to be alert, and also to plant some shadows in my mother's heart for what she will do next.

"How is Yilan Garden?" Xie Zhaozhao asked softly. "Miss, the second lady went to cry after the Duke came back." Xianggui glanced at Xie Zhaozhao carefully, and saw that there was nothing unusual about her expression before continuing.

Mrs. Dou just cried and complained that her husband died and she was alone.

He said that his daughter Xie Xingchen had no one to protect her and allowed others to bully her.

He said that there was no support for the second house.

Over the years, Xie Wei saw that he and Xie Qing had the same mother, so he always took care of his second wife.

So when I heard that Xie Zhaozhao had beaten Xie Xingchen, and the evidence was conclusive, I became angry on the spot.

But Mr. Yu had already been staring at Mr. Dou.

Not long after Mrs. Dou started crying, Yu Miaoyan rushed in and explained the matter clearly.

Xie Wei was not a stupid person. When he heard that his daughter had been wronged, Mrs. Yu looked annoyed. She didn't say anything immediately. She just persuaded Mr. Dou to go back and take good care of Xie Xingchen, and asked someone to give them some good things. That’s all.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled slightly after hearing this: "My second aunt and good cousin are probably going to be angry to death."

Usually, Erfang and Xie Zhaozhao have never had any conflicts.

Xie Xingchen and Xie Zhaozhao have always been close, and Yu and Dou seemed to be in harmony with each other.

Now that the quarrel broke out, Xie Wei and Yu Shi were of course more attracted to their daughter.

"Yes." Xianggui nodded: "Our people in Yilan Garden said that after the second lady returned, she got very angry and drove all the servants out. I don't know what she said to the second lady. ."

"Of course it's about saving Chu Nanxuan." Xie Zhaozhao sneered, "They never rely on the Xie family. The Xie family is their enemy, and only Chu Nanxuan is their support."

Xianggui gritted her teeth and said: "What a supercilious wolf. The Duke of Guo has been very kind to them over the years. Even the second bedroom has good things. Some young ladies don't have them. The second young lady has them all. They are so ungrateful!" "

"Okay." Xie Zhaozhao stood up and stretched his body gracefully, "Watch carefully and tell me immediately if there is any connection between Yilan Garden and the outside."

It has been nearly ten days since Chu Nanxuan entered the Heavenly Prison, and the court still has no decision.

Now Xie Xingchen was beaten again.

Come to think of it, Mrs. Dou, the second roommate, was so panicked that she wished she could rescue Chu Nanxuan right away.

It sounds like I have a lot of money prepared.

Awesome.

The more money you prepare, the more difficult it will be for Mr. Dou to bear when things come out.

as predicted.

Two days later, when Xie Zhaozhao was lying at the window looking at the swing in the courtyard in a daze as usual, Xianggui ran in quickly from outside and said, "Miss, Yilan Garden is out!"

"Oh." Xie Zhaozhao asked, "Where are you going?"

"We're heading to the tea-picking alley. I've asked someone to follow me. There will be news soon."

"Okay." Xie Zhaozhao stood up and walked downstairs, "I haven't been out for a few days. I will go for a walk with my mother today."

Xie Zhaozhao went to his mother's Chunhe Building and told himself that he wanted to go out.

Mrs. Yu was worried that Xie Zhaozhao was in a bad mood recently, so she naturally agreed, "Where should we go? How about we go to a jade shop and buy some jewelry or something?"

Xie Zhaozhao said: "I heard that there is a listening restaurant opened over there in Tea Picking Alley. The operas are very fresh. Let's go there and have a look."

"That's fine!" Yu originally wanted to accompany her daughter, so naturally she would do whatever her daughter said.
