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

Chapter 58 Provocation ([-])

In the previous life, the capital city underwent great changes, and the entire Xie family was wiped out.

After Xie Zhaozhao and Chu Nanxuan left the capital, they encountered refugees. Yang ordered Chu Nanxuan to slaughter all the refugees and collect the food and money from the refugees for his own use.

Later, after discovering that Chu He was infected with smallpox, he did not hesitate to order Chu He to be thrown away.

When Xie Xingchen arrived and retrieved Chu He, Chu He had become a corpse.

Yang was expressionless and ordered Xie Xingchen to leave immediately, otherwise she would be left behind.

Xie Xingchen was so distraught that he almost felt worse than death.

Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Xingchen were still close sisters at that time.

She didn't know that Chu He was Xie Xingchen's child. She only thought that Chu He was the son of Deputy General Chu Nanxuan, and that Xie Xingchen had developed feelings for Chu He after taking care of him for a long time.

She helped Xie Xingchen bury Chu He, and also accompanied Xie Xingchen carefully, comforting her emotions, and persuading her to go to a safe area first.

After Xie Xingchen cheered up, he buried Chu He hastily and went to Danzhou to settle down with the large army.

Later, Chu Nanxuan and Xie Zhaozhao went on an expedition together and left Danzhou for more than half a year. When they returned, Yang was dead.

He was quartered alive by bandits.

Danzhou is Chu Nanxuan's base camp, and the surrounding area has always been safe.

But it happened that when Yang went to offer incense, a group of extremely vicious bandits appeared out of nowhere, killing people and stealing goods, and their methods were cruel.

Chu Nanxuan didn't notice anything wrong and focused on chasing the bandits.

But Xie Zhaozhao remembered that she once saw Xie Xingchen meeting a man with a scar face.

Xie Zhaozhao asked Xie Xingchen who it was, and Xie Xingchen said without changing his face that he was asking for directions.

Later, nothing was traced about the group of bandits.

Looking back now, Xie Zhaozhao's back feels a little cold.

He was afraid that Xie Xingchen had a grudge against the Yang family for killing his son, so he arranged for bandits to dismember his body.

Xie Xingchen looks weak and innocent, but he is actually the most patient person.

She could hide it from everyone in the Xie family and spend five years secretly with Chu Nanxuan in Chen Cang. If it weren't for her nightmare in her previous life, she wouldn't have been able to find out about them.

Xie Xingchen was also able to keep his composure and use extremely cruel methods to deal with Yang.

Such a woman is a powerful character.

It would be a good show if she and Yang started to fight now.

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes, blocking the cold light in his eyes, and slowly lowered the window.

Yang waited for a cup of tea and then left.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Yu came to Xie Zhaozhao's room angrily, "Sure enough, I wanted to talk about the marriage. I also said that after seeing the auspicious day, you two are in a good relationship and can't delay any longer. You are too old or something!"

"That bastard Chu Nanxuan still dares to talk about the wedding even though he hasn't made it clear about the second bedroom yet!"

Xie Zhaozhao poured tea for Mr. Yu, "Calm down your anger...how did the mother respond to her?"

"What else can I say?" Mrs. Yu sneered: "I won't say anything to her. She just said that Queen Daxing's birthday is a big deal right now, and I won't take any of the rest."

"She found it boring and left!"

"Mom is right." Xie Zhaozhao said with a warm smile, "This is called winning without a move but with a move."

Yu glanced at Xie Zhaozhao angrily, "You stay away from your affairs. Are you really unwell?"

"That's definitely not the case." Xie Zhaozhao smiled, "I'm very nice, but I just don't want to talk to her more."

"So you let my mother help you deal with it? You bad girl!"

Mrs. Yu laughed and scolded Xie Zhaozhao twice, and the mother and daughter talked for a while before she left.

Soon the sky darkened.

Today is the first day at Daxiangguo Temple. The female relatives of each house need to settle down, and the formal blessing is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Xie Xingchen and Dou didn't leave the room all afternoon, probably because things had not gone well recently. Today, they were scorned by Yang on the spot, and both of them were very angry.Xie Zhaozhao kept asking Xianggui to stare over there.

Just after Haishi, Xie Xingchen went out.

Xie Zhaozhao also left with Xianggui and headed in the direction where Xie Xingchen went.

"The second young lady is by the river." Xianggui said, "Maybe she was in a bad mood, so she came out to get some air."

"Ah."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and took two steps. Sure enough, he saw Xie Xingchen sitting on a stone bench by the river, staring at the ripples on the water in a daze.

"You are here, don't follow me." Xie Zhaozhao ordered quietly.

Xianggui nodded in agreement and watched Xie Zhaozhao slowly walk to Xie Xingchen.

"Second sister."

Xie Zhaozhao called out warmly, "Why are you here blowing the wind alone if you don't sleep so late? Is it because of He'er's settlement, or is it because of being scorned by Mrs. Chu today?"

Xie Zhaozhao's words are straightforward and sharp.

Xie Xingchen's face instantly darkened: "Are you here to see my joke?!"

Xie Zhaozhao smiled, "Yes."

Xie Xingchen's face turned pale and he slapped Xie Zhaozhao without hesitation.

But her wrist was held firmly by Xie Zhaozhao and she couldn't break free.

"The second sister's temper has become very bad now, and she wants to fight with others at every turn."

Xie Zhaozhao waved his hand, and Xie Xingchen was thrown onto the stone table.

Xie Zhaozhao said slowly: "This is not what a lady would do."

Xie Xingchen was so angry that her head was smoking, and she was gnashing her teeth, but she couldn't do anything to Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Do you want to change the status quo, second sister?"

"What?" Xie Xingchen narrowed his eyes, "What will change the status quo?"

"Of course everything is unsatisfactory now." Xie Zhaozhao sat on the stone bench with a dignified and elegant posture, "I can help you."

Xie Xingchen looked at Xie Zhaozhao with a complicated expression, and pulled his lips sarcastically: "Will you help me? Aren't you going to harm me?"

"It's a gang." Xie Zhaozhao said lightly: "Don't you want Chu He to get the best settlement? Don't you want to marry Chu Nanxuan openly and let Mrs. Chu have to admit your identity?"

Xie Xingchen's face changed drastically, "You - what are you talking about? Why would I want to marry -"

"Stop covering up."

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "I already know about your affairs. Chu He is your child, so you are trying every possible means to give Chu He the best arrangement and to be Chu Nanxuan's upright wife."

Xie Xingchen's face turned green and white, and he squeezed the handkerchief tightly, looking at Xie Zhaozhao as if he had seen a ghost.

How could Xie Zhaozhao know such a secret thing?

How can it be!

Xie Xingchen knew very well that Chu Nanxuan still relied on Xie Wei for his official career and did not want to ruin his affairs, so he reflexively wanted to deny it.

But looking at Xie Zhaozhao's calm but sharp eyes, she suddenly realized that denying it was meaningless.

Xie Xingchen said in a trembling voice: "How did you know?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Xie Zhaozhao said, "You just need to know that I am here to help you."

Xie Xingchen clearly didn't believe it and glanced gloomily at the quiet lake behind him.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled: "You want to push me into the water and silence me? Second sister, don't say you can't do it. Even if you really push me down, I can still swim and just swim up."

"And my maid is watching not far away. If you want to harm me, you can't run away."

Xie Xingchen didn't expect that Xie Zhaozhao would see through his thoughts, and his whole body became as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
