As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 293
"..." Xie Zhaozhao pursed his lips, "Yeah."

She ordered Xianggui to get all the slaves outside to retreat, and also sternly warned not to talk nonsense, and then walked to Xie Huan to hug him.

"Don't hug me..." Xie Huan cried for so long that his voice became hoarse. He trembled and cried when he spoke, "You are all bad people. You don't like Aunt Wanning and you are all bullying her. , to drive her away!"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come to the capital, wuwuwu... Aunt Wanning and I lived so well with my grandfather. We were so happy at that time..."

"No one has to separate me from my aunt. I can eat and sleep with my aunt every day, and my aunt doesn't have to kneel down like this."

As Xie Huan spoke, he was out of breath and crying, his tears spilling out as if they were worthless.

Yao Wanning just held him wordlessly, constantly wiping his tears and coaxing him not to cry.

But Xie Huan was like this, how could he stop it.

Xie Zhaozhao stroked Xie Huan's little head and said warmly: "No one dislikes your Aunt Wanning, and no one bullies her. You make things complicated."

"I don't! You don't let her come to the table for dinner, and you want to find someone to marry her off. You are bullying others!"

Xie Zhaozhao said patiently: "We don't want to eat together because Miss Wan Ning is unwell, not -"

"My aunt used to be in good health at Penn State, and she never felt unwell. It's simply because you don't like her, so she can only say she's unwell, and that's you."

Xie Zhaozhao: "..."

After a moment of silence, she glanced at Xie Jiajia.

Xie Jiajia curled her lips and said, "You can count on your ability if you have a way."

Xie Zhaozhao pondered for a moment, then pointed two fingers. Xie Huan whimpered, fell into Yao Wanning's arms and fainted.

Xie Jiajia was speechless: "You are indeed capable."

She doesn't know how to do this.

Yao Wanning said worriedly: "Huan'er—"

"He's fine."

Xie Zhaozhao picked up Xie Huan and handed it to Xiang Gui, "Send the young master to the inner wing to rest first."

"Yes." Xiang Guifu stood up and carefully and quickly took Xie Huan away.

Yao Wanning looked at the retreating figures of the maid and Xie Huan, and did not look back for a long time, until Xie Zhaozhao stepped forward to help her, "Miss Yao, please get up."

"..."

Yao Wanning didn't know how long she had been kneeling, but she still staggered a little when she stood up, "Thank you, Miss Seven."

"You're welcome."

Xie Zhaozhao motioned to Xiangrong to help Yao Wanning sit down. He also sat in the armchair on the other side and ordered tea to be served.

Xie Jiajia originally planned to leave, but seeing the situation, she went to the other side to sit down and watch the show.

The room was so silent, except for the sound of the maid's footsteps coming and going, the friction of clothing, and the gentle breathing of each person.

But this kind of quietness invisibly creates a strong oppression.

Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Jiajia couldn't feel it, but Yao Wanning felt it most vividly and intensely.

After a long, long time, Yao Wanning couldn't stand it any longer, "Seventh Miss, Third Miss, if you have nothing to say, I will leave first."

"No rush." ​​Xie Zhaozhao smiled lightly: "I have something to say, but it's hard to say it, so I'm thinking about it."

"……it is good."

Yao Wanning was sitting upright, her beautiful face was white, her lips were pursed, and her brows were slightly frowned. After waiting like this for a while, Xie Zhaozhao didn't speak. After all, she couldn't help it anymore.

"Miss Seventh... it's my fault that Huan'er was so unbecoming in front of Madam."

"Oh?" Xie Zhaozhao asked, "Where did you go wrong?"

"If it wasn't for my business, Huan'er wouldn't be like this... I don't know how he knew about my marriage, and then misunderstood the madam's intention..."

"Really?" Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "He is a child, and no one guides him or hints to him. He can feel that everyone in the family is bullying you, doesn't like you, and wants to drive you away?"

"It's not really me!"

Yao Wanning stood up in a flash, her face as white as snow: "I never said that, I also know my identity well, and I know what I should and shouldn't do."

"I just want to live a peaceful life, and I have absolutely no intention of stirring up trouble at home. I never have!"

"Since it's not you, then it's someone else." Xie Zhaozhao said slowly, raising his eyes slightly and falling on a 30-year-old servant girl next to Yao Wanning, "right."

The servant woman suddenly froze when she saw it, and said with a forced smile: "Miss Qi, do you think that the old servant is talking too much? Since the old servant is the person close to Miss Wanning, he naturally listens to the girl. The girl once strictly ordered the servants not to thank her. If there is any gossip about family matters, the old slave will always do what the girl says."

"Then tell me, how did Huan'er know that Miss Yao was in Chunhe Building this morning?" Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "If I remember correctly, Huan'er is practicing martial arts with Brother Six every morning."

"Why didn't he practice martial arts today and come to Chunhe Building?"

The servant woman's eyes evaded, "I don't know..."

"Then, how did Huan'er know that Miss Yao was going to get married? Isn't it a good thing to get married? Why did Huan'er become a shoo-in?"

"I don't know... maybe the young master heard something from other servants."

"That makes sense." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "There are many people in this high-level courtyard, so there will inevitably be some restless gossips, for fear of causing trouble."

"Since there is no peace in Chunhelou now, we have to investigate carefully to find out who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes, otherwise the family will not be in peace in the future."

"Come here." Xie Zhaozhao stood up and ordered in a deep voice: "Call all the stewards, servants, and servants in the house to Chunhe Tower. They will serve in the inner courtyard these days, especially Miss Huan'er and Wan Ning. There must be no less slaves walking around.”

"Yes." A woman in the corridor left quickly after hearing the order.

The expression of the maid beside Yao Wanning changed again, "Miss Qi, do you know that by doing this, it will be more difficult for Miss Wanning to gain a foothold in the Xie family in the future? Do you have to drive Miss Wanning away?"

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes flashed, and he already understood something.

She said calmly: "What you said is too serious. You are doing this just to catch the person who is gossiping behind the scenes, to explain the misunderstanding clearly, to make the family peaceful, and to restore Miss Wan Ning's innocence."

"Otherwise, it would be difficult for others not to suspect that it was Miss Wan Ning who instigated Huan'er to stir up trouble in the family. This is not a small crime. I think Miss Wan Ning doesn't want to be wronged."

The servant girl was speechless.

Yao Wanning's face turned pale, "I, I didn't flirt with Huan'er, I really didn't."

"It's fine if you don't have it." Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "When I catch the shit-stirring stick, I'll cut out his tongue and beat him out. We'll see how he keeps his tongue and spreads rumors in the future."

The servant girl suddenly turned pale.

Yao Wanning bit her lip for a moment, then suddenly stumbled forward quickly and said with difficulty: "Miss Qi, don't look for anyone. It was me who lied, it was me... I didn't want to marry anyone casually, so I coaxed Huan'er to help me. It’s me who takes the lead!”
