Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 335 Confrontation
At the same time, in the garden in the eastern suburbs.

Xu Boyan asked several people in succession, but they all declined and returned home after dealing with Nanling's troubles.

He also said that he left before the sun set.

"Then what did she say about how to deal with the Nanling issue?" Xu Boyan asked.

"I've told you that the Second Young Miss has ordered Chu Xianglan to be transferred back, and she's also going to expel her from the garden, and she can't stay here any longer."

Yes, according to her personality, she would only do it once or twice, but never three or four times.

Xu Boyan had never expected that Chu Xianglan would cause such a big disturbance after only being in Nanling for a day or two. If the people of Nanling had not met Xie Jue before, the news would have spread from ten to a hundred, and sooner or later it would have affected the teaching experiments in other states.

These are small matters, not urgent. The most urgent thing is to find a way to refuse.

Xu Boyan also sensed something unusual.

But he had no relatives in Liangzhou and no power or influence, so he couldn't think of any way to find her, so he had to ride back to Xie's house as fast as he could.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that all the guests in the mansion had left and the servants were busy cleaning up the mess.

He grabbed a servant and asked, "What's going on? Isn't there a Helang banquet tonight? Why is it over so early?"

"My Lord, the master said that the second son is not feeling well today, so it is not appropriate to hold a banquet. Therefore, the banquet to celebrate the son has been postponed to three days later."

"Feeling unwell?"

"Yes."

Xu Boyan walked quickly towards the east courtyard. Dugu Xiwei was standing alone in the small courtyard with green vines. He turned around when he heard footsteps, thinking that it was Xie Jue who had returned.

But suddenly she met Xu Boyan's face, and the joy in her eyes faded.

"Senior Brother Xu, you're back." He said calmly.

Xu Boyan frowned, "Did something happen to Junior Sister?"

"No, I just haven't found her yet." Dugu Xiwei answered, trying to calm himself down as much as possible.

"I just came back from the East Suburb Garden. The manager there said that she returned before dark. How could she not be home yet? Could something have happened on the way?" Xu Boyan became more and more scared the more he thought about it, "Could it be..."

Dugu Xiwei knew what he was going to say, and immediately retorted, "No, she will be fine, Senior Brother Xu, I have asked my mother to send several teams of guards to search for her. We will know immediately if there is any news."

It turned out that he had expected it.

Xu Boyan nodded. This was the only thing he could do now.

But after waiting until after midnight, there was still no news of whereabouts.

Dugu Xiwei could no longer remain calm and went to find Feng Qingran alone.

"Xiwei, why are you here?" Feng Qingran was surprised and happy. His usually heroic features softened a lot. He raised his hand to dismiss the servants around him and walked forward to ask.

Unfortunately, Dugu Xiwei came here with a cold face. Although she was still wearing the wedding dress she wore when she celebrated the occasion during the day, her expression was like that of an unchanging ice sculpture, with no expression at all.

It can even be said to be extremely cold.

A trace of displeasure and irritation flashed through Feng Qingran's heart. Is it only when facing her that you show an expression other than indifference?
"Greetings, Your Highness." A tall figure came up to her, bowed, and stood up. "You should know why I'm here."

Feng Qingran just smiled, "What do you mean by that?"

"Your Highness, what do you think I mean?" She didn't admit it, so he didn't expose it. The two of them were in the night, talking to each other secretly.

Until Xie Hong came.

"If Your Highness has any guests, I'll come back later." Xie Hong walked to the gate of the courtyard and found that there were people in the courtyard, so she was about to leave.

Dugu Xiwei turned around and raised the lantern in her hand, "Why did you leave right after you came? Don't you want to see me?"

In the dead of night, Xie Hong, who had never been on good terms with Feng Qingran, suddenly visited and came in without even notifying anyone.

This action further confirmed what he was thinking.

Xie Hong also did not expect that the person in the yard would be Dugu Xiwei.

"It's Xiwei." Xie Hong couldn't retreat, so she could only walk in. "Why don't you go inside and talk?"

Dugu Xiwei did not move.

He was a new husband and had just ruined a marriage with Feng Qingran. If a single man and a single woman were to stay in the same room, they would inevitably be gossiped about. Therefore, from the moment he entered the courtyard, he never thought of entering the house.

"Big sister." He just bowed to Xie Hong but did not answer.

Feng Qingran didn't want to be disturbed when she was alone with him, so she winked at Xie Hong.

"You came to see me late at night, what's the matter?" Feng Qingran asked Xie Hong, but Xie Hong was a little too proud at the moment and didn't understand the hint in her words. "I happened to get a pot of good wine tonight, so I thought of coming to see you, but it was such a bad luck."

"Since you know it's a pity, why don't you leave quickly?" Feng Qingran's tone suddenly became urgent. Xie Hong realized it later and quickly found an excuse to slip away.

As soon as she left, Dugu Xiwei stopped talking nonsense with Feng Qingran.

He took out a handwritten letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

Feng Qingran took it calmly, but when he opened it, his expression froze.

"This is outrageous! Who forged this letter? It's complete nonsense!" She cursed angrily after only quickly glancing through it. She lowered her head, and in the flickering light in the courtyard, her round fingers seemed to be stained with a hint of black ink.

Feng Qingran immediately understood.

"Feng Qinglan's rebellion was caused by her own arrogance and recklessness. What does this have to do with me? Don't listen to the nonsense made up by those villains and deliberately write a letter to denounce me. Xiwei, you don't seem to be such a fool."

"You should be very clear that you are no longer the legitimate son of the Dugu family. Even though you still have the word Dugu on your head, if you lose the protection of the Dugu family, the past glory of the Xie family alone will not be enough to stop you from doing what you want!"

Feng Qinglan's tone was full of threats.

If it were an ordinary day, Dugu Xiwei would naturally not take the initiative to do this.

But the situation is different now.

He now had only one thought in his mind, which was that he hoped Xie Jue could return safely.

As long as she could return safely, he would forget all the past rituals and clan rules.

"Don't worry, Princess. Since I can produce this letter, it means I have more favorable evidence, enough to prove your evil ambition. Although His Majesty has already designated you as the heir to the throne, you don't want to be recorded by the court historians a hundred years later as someone who plotted to murder his elder sister, was deliberate, and ambitious, right?"

After the words were spoken, there was silence all around.

Dugu Xiwei still had that cold and aloof look as if she was out of touch with the world and said, "I only want my wife. If I don't see her return safely tonight, I don't know what I will do."
