Chapter 69 Repayment
The dawn rays pierce the darkness and everything revives.

The bells rang, the city gates opened wide, vegetable farmers and vendors came and went, and more and more people walked on Zhuque Street, breaking the tranquility of the night and restoring the bustle of the past.

In the Xuanwu Hou Mansion, the faint sounds of the maids working were heard in the house. Xie Lingyu moved and made some noise.

Heyue who was outside called softly: "Madam."

"come in."

The window edges were propped up.

Xie Lingyu sat in front of the makeup mirror, a ray of morning light hit her body, and her whole body was covered with a layer of mist, but her face was illuminated by the glow, making her look like a god.

Like the nine-day fairy.

Heyue and Taoyue were stunned when they saw it.

It was Xie Lingyu who called out softly, and the two of them came back to their senses.

Make up and tie hair, draw eyebrows and apply vermilion.

After a series of tasks were completed, the maid came to report, and Xu Jiaxu arrived just in time.

"Let's serve breakfast." Xie Lingyu ordered.

She went out and took Xu Jiaxu to the side hall for dinner.

She eats elegantly and contentedly, and her appetite is the same as usual.

The others present felt relieved.

It seems that Madam really didn't take what happened yesterday to heart.

It is different from the leisurely life in Zhilan Courtyard.

Xie Ningqian in Luomei Courtyard sat and waited all night, but did not see Xu Yinghuai.

Last night, Xie Ning was full of expectations at first.

There was a slight noise outside the door, so she asked the maid eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Is the prince here?"

Yunshui pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, just a boy."

Xie Ning was a little disappointed.

But still comfort myself.

Just wait.

This wait is one night.

During half an hour, Xie Ning wanted to ask Yunshui once, is the Crown Prince here?
Even if they already knew that Xu Yinghuai had entered Taohuayuan.

She still doesn't give up.

By the time the morning light entered the house, Xie Ning's voice was already a little hoarse.

Her eyes were dim, without any hope: "Is the Crown Prince here?"

Yunshui: "No, never."

Xie Ning lowered his eyebrows slightly.

Got up from the wedding bed, sat in front of the dressing mirror, and slowly pulled out the hosta.

This was a token of engagement between Xie Lingyu and Xu Yinghuai, as well as a token of love between her and Xu Yinghuai.

"Help me dress up and change clothes. It's time for me to pay my respects to my sister."

This is her first day as a married woman, so it's time to pay her respects to her real wife.

Yunshui lowered his head lower and tremblingly spoke the message.

"Madam, my aunt is considerate and tired of serving the prince. I don't need to offer tea to say hello today. I just want to have a good rest."

"Xie, Ling, Yu!"

Xie Ning clutched the hairpin in his hand tightly and read out these three words through gritted teeth.

His eyes were full of hatred.

Xie Lingyu was clearly insulting her!
The prince didn't come to her house at all, how could she be tired?
That little bitch Caixuan is just tired.

"Aunt Ning..."

Before Yun Shui finished speaking, Xie Ning shouted sternly: "Get out!"

She hates the title aunt!
Yunshui froze and silently retreated.

Pain came from her hand. Xie Ning looked down and saw that the hairpin had cut her palm, and blood was already flowing out.

Xie Ning seemed to feel no pain.

Staring at the bright red, she suddenly raised her head and laughed, her laughter became more and more wanton, and there were water stains in the corners of her eyes.

I don't know how long I had been laughing. When all the maids outside the door were feeling frightened, the laughter in the room finally stopped.

Xie Ning raised his hand to wipe away the tears falling from his eyes.

"Sister, you won the bet, he didn't come!"

"Sister, I'm very angry. You shouldn't do this to me."

Xie Ning whispered something that only he could hear.

She reached out and took out the poison He Lanxue gave her from the bottom of the dressing box.

"According to He Lanxue, this medicine is not painful in the early stage. It is really an advantage for you, sister."

Xie Ning curled his lips and stroked the medicine bottle.It looked as if Xie Lingyu had been poisoned and died.

……

After Xie Lingyu and Xu Jiaxu finished their breakfast, they packed up and prepared to return to Xie's house.

She had already sent a message to the old lady yesterday, and traveling was very smooth at the moment, with no one blocking her.

But as soon as he reached the corner gate, he saw those two figures.

Xie Lingyu paused and said to Taoyue: "Give me ten copper coins."

"What do you want madam for?"

Tao Yue was puzzled as she counted them out from her purse and handed them to Xie Lingyu.

Xie Lingyu weighed it.

"You wait here for me."

After saying this, she walked towards Qi Yanli.

She said blessedly, "How did your Highness and Mr. Lu rest yesterday?"

I was just serving as a host to entertain guests. If I asked casually the next day, a normal person would say that I slept well.

For example, Lu Yuanming is smiling now: "Very good, very good!"

But Qi Yanli is not an ordinary person.

"not good."

These two words made Xie Lingyu swallow all the rest of the words and unable to speak.

"It is the fault of the Marquis Mansion for neglecting His Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Qi Yanli glanced at Xie Lingyu's submissive look, and his heart skipped a beat, as if something touched his heartstrings.

"It's okay."

"Mr. Lu, I would like to say a few words to His Highness. Could you please step back for a moment?"

Xie Lingyu hurried home and didn't want to beat around the bush, so she said it directly.

Lu Yuanming nodded naively, "Okay, let's talk."

As he said that, he walked forward, stopped under a tree, looked up and admired the leaves.

When Qi Yanli saw him, he wished he could stretch his neck ten meters in this direction, like a tree with a crooked neck.

"Go away!"

His voice was not loud, but Lu Yuanming couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Then he walked forward obediently.

Although Qi Yanli didn't know what Xie Lingyu was going to say.

But he didn't want to be recorded in Lu Yuanming's gossip book.

After watching Lu Yuanming go away, he lowered his eyes and looked at the person in front of him who had suffered a lot more than him.

From his angle, he could see the top of her thick black hair, and the tip of her straight nose, which was slightly reddened perhaps from inhaling the cool morning air, made her look a bit more pitiful.

Under his gaze, Xie Lingyu slowly opened her hand.

He raised his little head, curled his lips and eyebrows towards Qi Yanli.

"Your Highness, here are ten copper plates, returned to you."

Qi Yanli was confused.

She opened her other hand to him.

Qi Yanli was even more confused.

What is this for?
Seeing that Qi Yanli didn't move for a long time, Xie Lingyu kindly reminded him.

"Where is my jade pendant?"

Only then did Qi Yanli suddenly realize.

Ganqing came here for this matter, he thought...

After all, this jade pendant belonged to her, and Qi Yanli had never tied it on, keeping it tucked into his sleeve so that no one else could see it.

Xie Lingyu's beautiful eyes widened and she didn't understand why Qi Yanli remained motionless.

Suddenly, Qi Yanli finally moved.

He reached out and picked up the copper plates.

One by one.

His fingertips accidentally touched Xie Lingyu's palm.

The slightly cold fingertips touched the palm of his hand from time to time. Xie Lingyu wanted to retract his hand, but felt that he shouldn't, so he held on and waited for him to slowly pick up the ten copper coins.

He held the copper plate in his hand and shook it, but still did not return the jade pendant to her.

Xie Lingyu looked confused.

Qi Yanli's lips curved slightly, revealing a smile.

"I don't have the jade pendant with me."
