Chapter 284 Hatred Grows
Although Xie Zihan is the crown prince, he is inferior to Xie Lingxiao in every aspect.
Xie Lingxiao said: "This is a little inappropriate. If there were no princes and princesses, it would be reasonable for me to come and receive them."
"If the prince and princess come, the crown prince is the most suitable."
In the past, he never cared about anything the emperor asked him to do, no matter how difficult it was.
Things are different now. Instead of wasting that time, he would rather stay at home and accompany Shen Jingxuan.
As long as the matter doesn't involve the Regent's Palace, don't blame him for being cruel.
The emperor knew that what Xie Lingxiao said made sense, but for some reason, he didn't want to give Xie Zihan such an opportunity at all.
"I'm thinking about it."
After the emperor finished speaking, he waved at Xie Lingxiao and ignored the two of them.
Xie Lingxiao took Shen Jingxuan away from the palace.
The area in front of the Prince Regent's Palace was unusually busy today, and was already surrounded by people watching the fun.
"Master, the gate is blocked and the carriage cannot pass through."
Shen Jingxuan lifted the car curtain and looked towards the mansion gate, only to see more and more people gathered around, scrambling to squeeze forward.
Xie Lingxiao asked: "What happened?"
"Master, I'll go take a look." Ling Feng said and walked towards the crowd.
Xie Lingxiao hugged Shen Jingxuan into his arms: "Are you tired?"
They both slept late last night, so they went to the palace to pay their respects early this morning and stayed in the palace for half a day. He was worried that Shen Jingxuan couldn't bear it.
"Not bad." Shen Jingxuan said while nestling in Xie Lingxiao's arms.
Xie Lingxiao raised the corners of his lips: "It's my husband's fault."
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Nothing happened along the way, and she didn't know why Xie Lingxiao admitted his mistake.
"It's because my husband didn't work hard enough and didn't serve you well." Xie Lingxiao said seriously.
After saying this, Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but think of what happened last night. His hands tightened slightly and he became a little distracted.
If I hadn't been worried that this was Shen Jingxuan's first time and she couldn't handle it, I wouldn't have let her go so easily last night.
Shen Jingxuan was even more confused by his nonsensical words, and she didn't understand what Xie Lingxiao meant by those words.
Seeing her confused look, Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but want to tease her.
He held Shen Jingxuan's hands and straightened her up, then placed them on both sides of her waist and pressed them with a little force.
Shen Jingxuan's pretty face instantly flushed, and Xie Lingxiao seemed to be still unsatisfied, repeating it several times, causing Shen Jingxuan to almost moan.
Xie Lingxiao put his eardrum into Shen Jingxuan's ear and whispered, "My husband will try his best to serve you well tonight."
Shen Jingxuan was too embarrassed to face anyone.
She didn't understand how her mere words "it's okay" could be connected to what happened last night.
Ling Feng's voice rang out from outside the carriage: "Master, it's..."
"What is it?" Xie Lingxiao asked.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Feng said truthfully: "It was Chen Yuqian who was crying and making a scene in front of the mansion gate, and she introduced herself, but the guards at the gate refused to let her in."
Shen Jingxuan asked: "Isn't she in Ningcheng?"
When she and Xie Lingxiao left, Chen Yuqian had already been taken away by the debt collectors. Why did she appear here at this time?
"I don't know. There are too many people watching the fun in front of the mansion, so I can't ask the reason in detail." Ling Feng said.
He didn't know why, but he knew that Ling Chen and Ling Yu were probably in trouble.
The prince asked them to keep an eye on the people in the Chen Mansion. Now that Chen Yuqian has come to the capital, neither of them knows about it. His master must be angry.
Shen Jingxuan held Xie Lingxiao's hand, and they both got off the carriage together.
Seeing this, the onlookers made way for the two men.
Chen Yuqian noticed something strange behind her and turned around, only to see Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan walking towards her holding hands.
She saw Shen Jingxuan dressed as a queen, and the two of them walking together looked so well-matched that hatred grew in her heart.
If Shen Jingxuan hadn't taken advantage of her that time, she would have been wearing the clothes of the queen.
But she didn't know that even though Xie Lingxiao was suffering from the effects of the drugs, he still didn't touch Shen Jingxuan.
If it were her, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be a complete corpse left.
"Cousin, please help me. They won't let me into the house." Chen Yuqian put away her thoughts and cried to Xie Lingxiao.
"Cousin, please take me in, I really have nowhere to go."
Chen Yuqian thought she had concealed it well, but she didn't know that Shen Jingxuan had already seen everything.
She looked calm and stood beside Xie Lingxiao without moving.
"Did you run away secretly?" Xie Lingxiao asked.
Although Ningcheng is not far from Shangjing City, it will take three days to get there by horseback at full speed.
And as Chen Yuqian is a woman, it will take her even longer.
The funny thing is that Ling Chen and Ling Yu didn't even send back a message, and he didn't know what went wrong.
Chen Yuqian burst into tears: "Cousin, please don't send me back. I don't want to go back to the Chen Mansion either."
She no longer has any relatives in the Chen Mansion. Although she has a father, such a father is probably worse than an outsider.
Madam Chen and her children would not tolerate her appearing in the Chen Mansion again.
As for the debt collector, as long as Xie Lingxiao protected them, they would not dare to come looking for her.
"If you don't want to go back, then find a place to stay. Not everyone can enter the Regent's Palace."
After Xie Lingxiao finished speaking, he pulled Shen Jingxuan towards the mansion gate.
But unexpectedly, Chen Yuqian suddenly knelt in front of Shen Jingxuan: "Cousin, please, please agree to let me enter the mansion. As long as you agree, cousin will definitely listen to you."
Shen Jingxuan looked at Chen Yuqian with a normal expression. She pushed herself to the forefront and still wanted to beg her?
Only if she says in front of everyone that she agrees will Xie Lingxiao agree. What's the difference between this and directly telling everyone that Shen Jingxuan is jealous?
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan raised the corners of her lips: "But I don't agree."
Does Chen Yuqian think that she will compromise in this way?
She thought that in front of everyone, she would be more or less concerned about her reputation. So she had to be allowed into the mansion?
But she was wrong. Shen Jingxuan never cared about those false reputations.
When Chen Yuqian heard Shen Jingxuan's words, she stood there in a daze for a moment.
She never expected that Shen Jingxuan would directly refuse in front of everyone.
Chen Yuqian came back to her senses and continued, "Cousin, please, I beg you, I really have nowhere to go."
Xie Lingxiao picked up Shen Jingxuan and walked into the Regent's Palace without looking back.
The moment the door closed, the onlookers breathed a sigh of relief.
They could boldly comment on other people's residences, but when it came to the Regent's Palace, they dared not discuss it in person.
Chen Yuqian looked at the tightly closed door, hatred evident in her eyes.
She had already put aside her dignity and pride, and ignored the onlookers, just wanting to enter the Regent's Palace.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao would refuse to let him in without hesitation.
In the study room of Lingxu Courtyard, Shen Jingxuan leaned on the couch, sipping tea. When she raised her eyes, she saw Xie Lingxiao sitting at the desk with an unsightly look on his face.
Shen Jingxuan said: "If you want her to enter the mansion, it's just a matter of saying a word, why make yourself depressed."
"Don't even think about setting foot in the palace in this life." Xie Kaixuan glared at Shen Jingxuan.
Couldn't he see what Chen Yuqian was thinking? Entering the palace was probably her first step.
Thinking of this, Xie Lingxiao called Ling Feng over and said, "Go to the gate of the mansion and keep an eye on her. When Chen Yuqian leaves, send someone to follow her secretly."
