Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 49

After getting up early, I went to Mrs. Xie to say hello.

As soon as Mrs. Xie saw Xie Wanqing, she asked, "How was the palace banquet yesterday?"

Before Xie Wanqing had time to speak, Xie Siru walked in and said with a smile: "Grandmother, haven't you heard yet? At the banquet last night, my sister got a lot of attention!"

Mrs. Xie frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"

Xie Siru glanced at Xie Wanqing with a smile, and then said: "Sister, should you tell grandma about this?"

Xie Wanqing knew that Xie Siru wanted to see a joke, but she didn't mind. Instead, she said generously, "Your sister is really well informed. A lot of interesting things happened at the Qixi Festival last night. I was planning to tell my grandmother, so you came!"

"Sister, if I were you, I wouldn't find it interesting, you've made the emperor go away!" Xie Siru had a half-smile expression.

When Madam Xie heard this, her face turned pale, and she asked, "Wan'er, what's going on?"

Xie Wanqing smiled, and then said: "Sister, you can't talk nonsense, I just played a piece of music, the emperor remembered the old man, and specially asked me to play the piece for him next time!"

Only she and the emperor knew about this matter, Xie Siru must have never heard of it.

Xie Siru had an expression of disbelief, and said: "Sister, don't use this to fool grandma, the emperor never went back after leaving the banquet!"

Xie Wanqing smiled and asked, "How does my sister know so clearly? Could it be that you went too?"

"I... I heard about it!" Xie Siru's expression changed.

Xie Wanqing asked: "Who did you listen to?"

"Don't worry about it, anyway, if I know it, I know it. Is it possible that you still want to hide it from grandma? You offended the emperor, but you will implicate us all!" Xie Siru said straightforwardly.

Mrs. Xie also frowned deeply because of this sentence.

Xie Wanqing didn't wait for Mrs. Xie to speak, and said: "Grandmother, the imperial concubine said that this matter has nothing to do with me, and the emperor is not displeased because of me, but just remembered the past while listening to the score. When I went to meet the emperor in the imperial garden, he even asked me to play the song to the end!"

As soon as Madam Xie heard the words "Imperial Concubine", her face softened a lot, and she said: "Since the Empress Imperial Concubine has said so, you don't have to worry about it tonight!"

Xie Siru almost gritted her silver teeth, every time Xie Wanqing was able to rely on the imperial concubine to escape, it was too much!
But Xie Wanqing glanced at her triumphantly, as if to say, I just have the gold medal for avoiding death of the imperial concubine, what can you do to me!

Xie Siru glanced at Xie Wanqing bitterly, and said in a fair and honest way: "Sister is very lucky, the imperial concubine and empress can settle such a big trouble, if it is someone else, I guess they should be punished!"

Xie Wanqing restrained her smile and said: "Sister, what do you mean by that? Why have I ever caused trouble? Playing the piano and the music are the emperor's will. I have not done anything wrong, and my mother has not favored me. My sister is like this." By speaking, aren't you blaming the emperor and empress for being unfair?"

Xie Siru panicked, quickly shook her head and said, "I didn't say that, I... I didn't mean that!"

"Then what do you mean? You said that my business was settled by the empress. The empress just comforted me and said that it was not my fault that the emperor left the banquet. Even the emperor said the same thing. Why did I cause trouble? What's the matter?"

Xie Wanqing looked aggrieved, and almost wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Xie Siru didn't expect to be turned back by Xie Wanqing in the end, she couldn't find anything to refute for a while, she just kept opening and closing her mouth, her face flushed with anxiety.

It took a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Sister, you...you wronged me!"

"Sister, I just remind you that you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk indiscriminately, let alone gossip, you must know that the words you spread are not someone else, but the current emperor. You said that the emperor is not happy because of my piano sound. Didn't you say that the emperor is a narrow-minded son?"

"You said that the empress supported me and settled things for me. Doesn't that mean that the empress has selfish intentions?"

Xie Wanqing magnified Xie Siru's crime more and more!
