The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 240 Repeating the same trick
Xie Zhiyan was busy every day, but in the evening he would go to the new house to have dinner with his mother and Qin Wan, and then go out to work again.

One day when Xie Zhiyan came back for dinner, he mentioned that the emperor was going to issue an edict for him to inherit the title.

He picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Qin Wan's bowl: "The mansion needs to prepare it."

Qin Wan stared at him.

What does his meaningful expression mean?
Tang smiled happily: "That's great. But... do you know where it will be?"

Qin Wan immediately understood what Xie Zhiyan meant.

"Okay. I'll send someone over there tomorrow to inquire about the situation and see what needs to be prepared in advance."

Seeing her pair of smart eyes flashing with cunning, Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but raised his chopsticks and hit her chopsticks.

"Be careful not to get yourself involved."

Qin Wan rolled her eyes at him: "I'm so smart, how could that be possible?"

"What are you talking about? You're going to involve Wan'er in a banquet to confer a title?" Tang's eyes widened.

"Don't worry, mother. It's nothing. Leave it to me." Qin Wan comforted her and picked up a piece of chicken for her.

The next day, Madam Xie received the news.

Old Madam Xie didn't know that Qin Wan and Xie Huaiyu were just waiting for them to take desperate measures.

Two days later, when Xie Zhiyan returned home, Old Madam Xie came with a large group of people.

"I didn't expect Zi Che to come back. That's great." Old Madam Xie said with a smile, "You guys should meet the prince soon."

A man and a woman stepped forward and bowed together: "Greetings, big brother (the prince)."

"She is He Jinhua, whom the prince has met before. She is your cousin." Old Lady Xie hurriedly introduced.

Xie Zhiyan ignored her and turned to greet Zeng, Xie Duo and the third wife.

Qin Wan has high eyebrows.

I didn't expect He Jinhua to come. It seems the punishment was not very light.

Xie Huaiyu looked around and said, "I heard that the new house belongs to Wan'er..."

Two daggers of eyes shot at him, and he quickly changed his address: "I heard that it was bought by my sister-in-law?"

Xie Zhiyan reached out and held Qin Wan's hand: "Yes, Madam, you have worked hard."

Qin Wan pretended to be with him, leaned over and said softly: "What's mine is your husband's. What's your husband's is also mine."

"That's right." Xie Zhiyan smiled.

Xie Huaiyu's face suddenly turned ugly.

"This is my first time in this house too. Can you show us around, Prince?"

Madam Xie said this and stood up and walked out.

Tang frowned and stopped Xie Zhiyan: "I'll go, you guys go and get busy."

Qin Wan held her arm and said, "Mother, you are tired. I will go with the prince."

"Yes, mother, you take a rest. Wan'er and I will accompany grandma for a walk." Xie Zhiyan took the initiative to follow her out.

Old Madam Xie and Xie Huaiyu looked at each other, and there was a hint of joy of success in their eyes.

Old Madam Xie held Qin Wan and said, "Wan'er, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't you come over to pay your respects to me?"

Qin Wan subconsciously avoided her hand and said politely, "I've been a little busy lately."

"It was the old woman's fault before. You have been wronged. You don't have to worry about that bitch Yu Churong. She will never appear in front of you again."

Old Madam Xie approached Qin Wan again: "Wan'er, Zi Che will inherit the title soon, and our Xie family will prosper. We are all family, so please forget the misunderstandings in the past, okay?"

Qin Wan smiled and said, "I will listen to my husband."

Seeing that she kept avoiding her hand, Mrs. Xie's face turned a little ugly. He Jinhua's eyes seemed to be on Xie Zhiyan's face, and she tried to squeeze closer to him, but every time she got close, Xie Zhiyan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and he immediately quickened his pace and distanced himself.

There is a large pond in the back garden of the house, with an arch bridge built on it and many koi fish in the pond.

When everyone got on the bridge, Mrs. Xie was very interested in the koi. She stood on the bridge and pointed at the koi: "It's this big, and the color is so beautiful."

Xie Huaiyu helped Zeng get off the bridge, walked to a pavilion not far away, sat down and talked.

Suddenly, He Jinhua stepped on her skirt, her body lost stability, and she pounced directly towards Xie Zhiyan.

He quickly moved aside, but unexpectedly He Jinhua fell directly into the water from the bridge.

Old Madam Xie and a group of people were in a mess, shouting for help.

Qin Wan was a little amused. Was He Jinhua repeating the same old trick? Wasn't there anything new?
She quickly glanced at Xie Zhiyan, who was standing on the bridge calmly, watching the person splashing in the water, and yelling at him: "Cousin, cousin, save me."

He Jinhua naturally hoped that Xie Zhiyan would jump into the water in a hurry and save his cousin who was soaked all over. Wouldn't this mean he fell into the trap designed by Madam Xie and his cousin?

Men and women should not have physical contact, but Xie Zhiyan touched his cousin's body in public, which ruined her reputation. Even if he didn't want to take a concubine, he had to be responsible for her.

Mrs. Xie saw that Xie Zhiyan didn't move, and she was almost crying: "Zi Che, we can't swim, you go and save him."

Xie Zhiyan crossed his arms across his chest, looking indifferent.

Qin Wan looked up at Xie Huaiyu, who had an anxious look on his face. But she didn't dare to get close, so she gestured to Fuxiao.

Fuxiao naturally understood, and quickly ran over to hold Xie Huaiyu: "Second Master Xie, she is your first cousin, please go and take a look."

Xie Huaiyu was dragged to the pond and had no choice but to shout, "I can't swim, what should I do with my cousin? Big brother, please save her."

Xie Zhiyan shrugged: "I can't swim."

Qin Wan had somehow gotten behind Xie Huaiyu and kicked him.

thump!
Xie Huaiyu fell into the pond.

He struggled in the water for a moment and suddenly stood up in the water.

The water in the pool barely reached his waist.

The shouting all around suddenly stopped, and everyone understood.

Given the depth of the pool, it is impossible to drown someone!
Xie Huaiyu's face flushed, blaming the person who informed them for not telling them the depth of the pond.

Xie Zhiyan said calmly: "Second brother, help your cousin. Although the pond is not deep, it is muddy and difficult to walk."

At this point, Xie Huaiyu could only suppress his anger and turn around to look at He Jinhua.

He Jinhua was filled with shame and anger. Seeing that Xie Zhiyan couldn't take it, she couldn't let herself get nothing. Fortunately, she struggled to lift her muddy skirt and walked to Xie Huaiyu. She grabbed his hand and leaned over.

She cried in grievance: "Cousin..."

Xie Huaiyu's whole body froze, and he looked up quickly, seeing a large group of people surrounding him on the bridge and the shore.

He Jinhua covered her body frantically, her face flushed and she screamed, "Cousin, cousin, please save me and get me to shore!"

Xie Zhiyan turned around and held Qin Wan's hand, and the two of them walked hand in hand towards Zeng, who was shocked and at a loss.

Qin Wan glanced at him and smiled.

The maids and servants who were watching were naturally arranged by her. Now they were all gathered around the pond, talking in unison and exclaiming in surprise.

"Miss cousin, why are you standing in the water with your clothes disheveled like this?"

"Miss cousin, why don't you come up quickly! There is no such thing as physical contact between men and women. Why are you still holding on to the Second Master? He has already seen your naked body."

"Oh my God! Madam, why are you here too..."

Madam Xie looked unhappy.
