Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 280 Fatal Strike

Chapter 280

People's hearts can change, how could she not know?She Xie Wanqing has lived two lives, isn't this what she sees most clearly?

However, the one standing in front of her was not someone else, but Cui Wenxiao, the cousin she trusted in her heart.And behind Cui Wenxiao is the Cui family, her rented home, her grandmother loves her so much...

Even though Cui Wenxiao spoke so directly and decisively, Xie Wanqing still didn't want to believe her in her heart.

However, when she looked at Cui Wenxiao, she could no longer see the purity in her eyes. Is it really a change of heart?
Cui Wenxiao deliberately avoided Xie Wanqing's eyes, stepped down the last step, paused, and said, "I think this is the last time you and I will see each other, so you can see me clearly... In the future, there is no need to have any more thoughts!"

Cui Wenxiao's words seemed to hide a mystery. Xie Wanqing guessed that she must be determined to follow Situ Lei to the north. Thinking of Situ Lei's brutality, Wen Xiao would inevitably feel wronged by following him. Xie Wanqing's It was very unpleasant in my heart.

On that day, Princess Xian'an entangled with Situ Lei for a long time, until the emperor and Concubine Cui came over, and someone forcibly pulled Princess Xian'an away.

Princess Xian'an was furious, and was about to expose Situ Lei's "evil deeds" to the emperor. Unexpectedly, Situ Lei took the first step and knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, my servant is against Cui... Cui..." Situ Lei even went as far as Cui Wen. Xiao didn't even ask for his name, but he tried to pretend to be calm, and continued: "Your Majesty fell in love with Miss Cui's family at first sight, and I hope to return home with her hand in hand, and I beg your Majesty to make it happen—"

When Xuanyuan Zhen heard this, he was overjoyed, he had intended to send the Cui family's daughter to the north, and was worrying about how to explain it to Situ Lei, but now it was Situ Lei who spoke first, saving him a lot of trouble.

"Do you really have such intentions? This is a very good thing. Originally, I valued you very much. It's God's will!" Xuanyuan Zhen sighed.

Situ Lei was secretly suffering. If he was really asked to choose, he would never be able to choose Cui Wenxiao. It was just that he ruined the innocence of the girl for no reason. Although he was lawless, he didn't cause such a big disaster. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and take responsibility to the end, thinking that since he was responsible, he shouldn't attract much criticism.

With the emperor's permission, Situ Lei slowly straightened up, turned his head and saw Xie Wanqing who was standing silently by the side, and slightly clenched his fists. It was this woman... Situ Lei's Adam's apple twitched, as if deliberately holding back Sudden resentment.

Princess Xian'an was so angry that he jumped up and said: "Your Majesty, you can't promise him, this bastard..."

However, before Princess Xian'an could finish her sentence, Xuanyuan Zhen cast a cruel look at her, scaring Princess Xian'an so that she didn't dare to speak any more, Xie Wanqing pulled her back again.

Xuanyuan Zhen turned to Concubine Cui and said: "Concubine Gui, after all, she is your niece. In Jieshi, I will make an exception and designate her as princess, so I will not wrong the Cui family. You should know what to prepare for!"

Xuanyuan Zhen had a courage that no one could refuse. Concubine Cui Gui bowed her body and replied: "I... understand!"

After the emperor and Situ Lei left one after another, Concubine Cui Gui stayed in place, swayed twice, almost fell down, but fortunately Xie Wanqing quickly caught her.

"aunt……"

Concubine Cui sneered: "The matter has come to this, what else can I do?"

After all, they couldn't win the emperor's will. As long as the Cui family served as ministers in the court, they would be loyal to the court and the emperor.

The next day, Xie Wanqing went to Cui Mansion to meet Mrs. Cui. Compared to her aunt's distress, Mrs. Cui was much calmer.

Xie Wanqing supported Mrs. Cui, and the two walked side by side in the garden without a single attendant. Mrs. Cui seemed to have aged a lot overnight. She pressed the back of Xie Wanqing's hand and sighed: " After all, we are married children, we are late, and we are smarter and more sensible than before!"

Mrs. Cui was clearly trying to ease the somewhat dull atmosphere. Xie Wanqing held Mrs. Cui's hand tightly. Whether it was the last life or this life, she would always remember her grandmother's kindness to her in her heart. As much as I miss my grandmother, I want to protect the entire Cui family.

However, everything is difficult to fulfill people's wishes, just as she tried her best to change Wen Xiao's fate, but she never expected that things would develop to the point where she is today.

Could it be that fate really cannot be easily changed?

"It's because Wan'er is incompetent..." Xie Wanqing lowered her head in frustration, her eyes were slightly red, "Wan'er failed to protect Wen Xiao properly."

"How can I blame you for this matter?" Mrs. Cui stood still, looked at the garden full of autumn chrysanthemums, and said: "You also heard your aunt say that the emperor had this intention a long time ago. There is no escape from this fate.”

Yes, the emperor had made up his mind a long time ago, to let Wen Xiao marry Princess Zhaohui to the northern border, once he made a decision, it would be extremely difficult to change, and the result of desperate struggle would be nothing more than sooner or later.

"You always don't want to mention that matter." Mrs. Cui suddenly changed the subject, "Actually, I know everything. You can't bear to criticize Wen Xiao, but if you are wrong, you are wrong. That child Wen Xiao..." Cui The old lady hesitated to speak, but in the end she couldn't say anything, she just sighed deeply.

In fact, they knew very well that Wen Xiao was not perfect, and she had no other choice but this path.

It's not that the Zhen Guo government is weak and can be bullied, and the daughter of the Cui family has been bullied for no reason and can't say anything, but the emperor intends to calm down the matter, and wants to calm down the matter quietly. Ray goes north.

The Cui family agreed to this matter without making a fuss, it was helpless, but also to show their attitude to the emperor, the Cui family had no intention of fighting for power, what they had was only a heart towards the court and towards the emperor.

After Xie Wanqing bid farewell to Mrs. Cui, she did not leave Cui's mansion directly, but went to Cui Wenxiao's courtyard, thinking about seeing Cui Wenxiao again, but Xie Wanqing was stopped by the maid outside the courtyard, and the maid knew clearly Tell her: "Concubine Jing, please go back, Missy doesn't want to see you..."

Xie Wanqing didn't force it, she stood alone outside the courtyard and blew the cool wind for a long time, until the wind poured into the corners of her eyes, two lines of tears fell down, and then she left silently.

Five days later, Situ Lei left Beijing and headed north, accompanied by Cui Wenxiao.

Cui Wenxiao was crowned as Princess Wenxian, and the emperor sent [-] more attendants to escort Cui Wenxiao all the way into Xiangyang. Xie Wanqing stood at the corner of the street, watching the mighty horses and chariots leave from afar. What Xiao said to her outside Yilan Hall——

It turned out that that was really the last side they saw in this life.

Cui Wenxiao was dressed in red, sitting quietly in the car, with no joy on her face, she traveled thousands of miles, and saw each other indefinitely, her heart drifted away little by little with the autumn wind blowing outside, and finally scattered into the dust, No more expectations.

After Cui Wenxiao left, Xie Wanqing suffered from a serious illness. The illness was so strange that for many days, she could only hang on the medicine soup, as if she had been stimulated by something. This illness even missed her. The prince got married.

It wasn't until the end of August that Xie Wanqing's condition improved. It was rare to meet a good sun, and she insisted on going outside to bask in the bad smell on her body. The bedding was also brought in, seeing that Xie Wanqing was able to get down and walk, she was more excited than anything else, as soon as she got excited, she started talking more, as if she wanted to tell Xie Wanqing everything that happened in recent days, The twittering went on and on.

"Wan'er, you don't know that your younger sister has been deposed, and the former prince directly sent someone to send her back to Xie's house. I'm afraid she will die this time!" Princess Xian'an said Xie Siru.

Xie Wanqing listened silently, as if she was talking about some other unimportant person.

"She can do it. First she faked pregnancy to deceive the emperor, and then tried to harm Qin...well... she is the current crown princess, but she was caught by the crown princess on the spot. His highness is naturally on the side of the crown princess, so I took the opportunity Abolish her and send her back to the Xie Mansion." Princess Xian'an talked tirelessly while eating snacks, "It's also because Xie Siru is stupid, he has two people who can't stand the temptation, I put all my brains on the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess just hooked her fingers, and the two girls spit out everything."

After hearing this, Xie Wanqing stretched her arms, loosened her muscles and bones, called Lingshu and said, "Lingshu, do we have something that we haven't talked to Second Miss?"

Lingshu scratched his head: "Um...you mean...the matter of Aunt Liu?"

Xie Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Go, it's time to tell Second Miss!"

Lingshu responded, and then ran away in a flash.

Previously, when Xie Chongguang saw that Xie Siru was gaining power in the prince's mansion, he discussed with the Liu family how to get Aunt Liu back to the capital, but he did not expect that Aunt Liu encountered an accident on the way back to Beijing... she died two months ago.

Naturally, it was thanks to Xie Zi'an and Xuanyuan Jue's arrangements, but Xuanyuan Jue had been trying to suppress this news, until today, Xie Wanqing found it out, and what he wanted was to give Xie Siru a fatal blow.

Princess Xian'an stared at Xie Wanqing dumbfounded, the unswallowed snack almost fell down along with her chin.

"Okay, Wan'er, when did you become such a ghost? You are much better than I imagined!"

Xie Wanqing just smiled and didn't speak. Her hands were not clean long ago. This is destined to be a thorny road. For the humiliation she suffered in her previous life and for Xuanyuan Jue, she is fearless.

Lingshu bribed the servants of the Xie Mansion, and quickly spread the news of Aunt Liu's death.

The Xie Mansion was in chaos for a while, and Xie Siru, because she was abandoned by the prince and sent back to the Xie Mansion, Mrs. Xie didn't have any good looks for her. She suffered a lot in the Prince's Mansion, but she still didn't feel ashamed when she returned to the Xie Mansion. What a bargain, and at this moment, knowing that his mother died unexpectedly, the whole person collapsed.
