After rebirth, the violent prince waited online for the princess to reconcile and divorce.

Chapter 19 The Man in Black

Xie Lingyu had just finished washing her clothes, but she hadn't had time to put on makeup or style her hair.

I heard some small sounds coming from outside.

"What's going on outside?"

He Yue: "Master Xu, Master Qi and Miss Huan'er have come to pay their respects to you. They are all waiting in the courtyard at this time."

According to etiquette, Xu Jiaqi and Xu Muhuan did not need to pay her respects.

But today is the day when the crown prince returns to the capital, and Mrs. Song has always wanted her to get closer to her twins.

Then he asked several people to come together to pay her respects.

Afterwards, we will go together to welcome the crown prince.

He Yue also heard the sounds outside: "Maybe he was joking."

This movement is not like ordinary slapstick.

Xie Lingyu put down the lipstick in his hand, stood up and walked to the window.

She was angled so that she couldn't be seen from the outside.

She looked from a distance and saw Xu Jiaxu, dressed in an indigo robe, squatting silently by the small pond in the courtyard with his head lowered, retrieving books that had been thrown into the pond.

Xu Jiaqi looked at Xu Jiaxu who was trying to stretch his arms with a smile, "What future can you achieve by studying with Juren? You'd better go out to work as soon as possible, or you can kneel down and beg me, and I will let you be my book boy."

His servant was covering his mouth and apologizing with a smile.

Xu Jiaxu didn't say anything, he just gently spread the books and prepared to dry them.

Xu Jiaxu's servant was furious and wanted to go up to argue, but was stopped by Xu Jiaxu.

"Little mute, speak!"

Xu Jiaxu: "I'm not mute."

"Little mute, if you hadn't complained, little Deng Xiaosun would not have been sent to clean the stables. You are so vicious!"

Xu Jiaqi pointed at Xu Jiaxu and scolded him.

The little Deng Xiaosun he mentioned was the two boys before Xu Jiaxu.

The two boys tried their best to flatter Xu Jiaqi. Suddenly, there were two complimentary people around him. Xu Jiaqi felt very uncomfortable, so he blamed all the fault on Xu Jiaxu.

Xu Muhuan looked at this scene and just stayed away.

He was afraid that Xu Jiaqi would see him and get angry.

Taoyue was so angry that she wanted to rush out, but Heyue stopped her.

He Yue stood next to Xie Lingyu and whispered: "Mrs. Hou is in power now and favors Young Master Qi. During this period, Young Master Qi has been domineering in the house and looking for opportunities to bully Young Master Xu everywhere."

"But Master Xu goes out early and comes back late every day. Master Qi has no chance, so today is particularly excessive."

He Yue's words both inside and outside expressed injustice for Xu Jiaxu.

She didn't quite understand that Madam clearly cared about Master Xu.

He also recorded him as the legitimate young master, personally wrote to Mr. Juren to praise Master Xu, personally selected his servants, and was also very concerned about Master Xu's studies.

But he doesn't care much about Master Xu himself.

Very strange!
Xie Lingyu said nothing, turned around, sat back in front of the bronze mirror, and traced her eyebrows carefully.

After putting on makeup, combing her hair, and setting out the food, Xie Lingyu let the three of them in.

The three of them saluted her together.

Xu Jiaqi was dressed gorgeously. Ordinary heirs from aristocratic families were not as well dressed as him, and his hair was neatly combed, while Xu Muning was quite decent.

Xu Jiaxu's clothes were bright in color but old in style, and there was a large patch of wetness on the sleeves.

"Why are your clothes wet?"

Xie Lingyu asked, her voice was cold, which made the three children perk up.

Xu Jiaqi knew that he had Mrs. Hou's support and was not afraid of punishment, but he was still a little worried.

He was full of curiosity about this woman who was supposed to be his legitimate mother, and he didn't want to ruin his image in Xie Lingyu's mind.

His round eyes stared closely at Xu Jiaxu, with a hidden warning, fearing that he would say anything bad.

Xu Jiaxu bowed and saluted: "Back to mother, the child's book accidentally fell into the pond and got soaked while fishing for it."

He didn't mention Xu Jiaqi at all.

Xie Lingyu didn't say much and just asked Taoyue to take him to change clothes.

Several children had already had breakfast, and Xie Lingyu didn't have the habit of letting her children watch her eat, so she sent them to wait in the side hall.

Xu Jiaqi was reluctant at first.I want to build a relationship with Xie Lingyu.

But Xie Lingyu's eyebrows turned cold, and Xu Jiaqi was frightened into leaving obediently.

Just after finishing the meal, the old lady sent someone to say that it was time to set off.

Xie Lingyu took several children to the front yard together.

Xu Jiaqi saw that Xu Jiaxu had changed into clothes with excellent materials and styles, so he made a fuss about going back to change clothes.

Mrs. Song coaxed her for a long time.

I didn't miss the time to go out.

The old lady didn't expect that the child held in Mrs. Song's hands would be so virtuous, and she couldn't help but frown.

When he saw Xu Jiaxu, he was upright and polite, so he nodded with satisfaction.

It's a pity that he is not of the Hou family's blood, and the old lady felt regretful for a moment.

"Yu'er, after Huai'er comes back, you two will consummate your marriage as soon as possible and give birth to a real legitimate son for the Hou Mansion."

The old lady called Xie Lingyu and said softly.

Xie Lingyu only smiled and did not answer.

The old lady's gaze passed across Xie Lingyu's face inch by inch, her eyes far away, as if she was looking at someone through her.

It took a long time to sigh.

"I think your and Huai'er's child will be very good-looking. He will look a lot like him!"

Xie Lingyu thought she was talking about the child looking like Xu Yinghuai.

She couldn't help smiling.

She couldn't give birth to a child like him.

It didn’t happen in my previous life, and it won’t happen in this life either.

The old lady covered her chest and coughed twice.

After coughing, he looked a lot weaker.

She smiled: "If I can really see that child, it will be my long-cherished wish for so many years."

The group of people came to a private room on the second floor of a restaurant by the city gate.

Sipping tea and eating cakes, waiting for Xu Yinghuai.

By the time it was sunset, Xu Yinghuai had not yet appeared.

The old lady's body couldn't bear it anymore and she had already returned home.

Xu Jiaqi had fallen asleep in Aunt Zhou's arms, and Xu Muning had also fallen asleep in Aunt Zhou's arms.

Xu Jiaxu was still sitting upright, but the head that dropped and then suddenly raised from time to time showed that he was also very sleepy.

Mrs. Song yawned and couldn't help complaining in her heart.

Xie Lingyu: "Your Majesty, Xu is delayed on the road. Mother, wait a moment while I go arrange some food."

Xie Lingyu walked out.

Naturally, she didn't need to do such a small thing as arranging meals herself. She just sat for a long time and got tired, so she wanted to go out for a walk.

Taoyue said: "The city gate is almost closed. Why hasn't the prince arrived yet? Something must have happened."

Luyue: "What can happen to a person like the Crown Prince? It will only happen if someone else encounters him."

Lu Yue sounded quite disgusted with Xu Yinghuai.

Xie Lingyu interrupted their conversation.

There are many guards from the Hou Mansion in this restaurant, it would be bad if they were heard.

She asked Taoyue to arrange food, and she took Luyue around.

Xie Lingyu looked at the towering city wall from a distance and the pedestrians coming in and out. It was a peaceful scene.

It was completely unimaginable that the city walls would be stained with blood one day.

After watching for a while, Xie Lingyu took Lu Yue back to the restaurant.

As soon as they reached the second floor, a masked man in black jumped out of the window and rolled in front of Xie Lingyu.

"Madam be careful."

Lu Yue reacted very quickly and pulled out the short blade from her waist, blocking it in front of Xie Lingyu.
