The Eldest Princess ‘anger was difficult to dissipate. She closed her eyes and rested for a while before saying,

“Granny Zheng, who changed my invitation card and specially invited Lady Xiao?”She didn’t remember specifically stating that Lady Xiao had to attend.

She, the Eldest Princess, was inviting guests, so why would she need to do all these fancy things? Her posts had always been like a flock of ducks, and she was almost unable to finish entertaining those who rushed over.

Lady Xiao had clearly pointed this out to her.

Such an intelligent lady, attacking fiercely and retreating elegantly, made her old woman look down on her. At this time, if she said that she had said it unintentionally, the Eldest Princess would not believe it no matter what.

Hearing that, Granny Zheng knelt on the ground with a thud.””It was Princess Anji who repeatedly asked this servant to add it, saying that.Jf 1 want to embarrass Eldest Lady Xiao, this servant would not want them to make such a big fuss…”

She was already in her sixties. She was a little palace maid who followed the Eldest Princess before she married. She knew what the Eldest Princess was like. She just wanted to do Princess Anji a favor. After all, that person did have some face in front of the Eldest Princess. However, she never dreamed that Princess Anji would make such a stupid move. She brought all the men into the Inner Residence. How was it to embarrass Lady Xiao? Whether this matter succeeded or not, the Xu residence and the Eldest Princess ‘face would be damaged.

“This old servant deserves to die ten thousand times. Eldest Princess, please punish me.”Granny Zheng kowtowed to the ground with loud bangs. Soon, blood was seen, and there was a bruise.

The Eldest Princess let out a long sigh.” Forget it. You should remember this time. There won’t be a next time.”

Granny Zheng wiped away her tears and cried silently. The Eldest Princess was old after all and had become soft-hearted. There was no way she would let someone else who had made such a mistake in the past off lightly.

“You should rest for the next few days. When the injury on your head has healed, you can come back to serve me.”

“Yes… This servant thanks the eldest princess for her decision.”

The eldest princess waved her hand and dismissed her, but in a moment, the steward came up to serve her, Zheng Momo went out immediately, arranged everything around her, went out in an orderly manner.

The Eldest Princess sighed and did not want to delve further. After all, she had been by her side for so many years, and there was still a connection between them.

Not long after, the Eldest Princess was helped back to the main hall by the steward. The Furens were just as she had expected, as if they did not know anything and continued to speak auspicious words.

It was as if they did not know that the entire Xiao family had left, Princess Anji did not come out, and even the old woman beside her had changed, but no one took a second look.

That was good.

She was old and could not be bothered to fight with them anymore. She just wanted to be lively while she was alive.

However, not long after, the steward quietly stepped forward and whispered into the Eldest Princess ‘ear,”Princess Xuancheng heard that Princess Anji used her name to trick Lady Xiao away, so she started to make a scene…”

“Right now, the residence is searching everywhere for Eldest Lady Xiao.”

The Eldest Princess felt a headache coming on. She had been so focused on angering Angie that she had forgotten about this guy.

Lady Yuan did not wait long before the Eldest Princess returned to the banquet room. She had the time to bid farewell to the Eldest Princess and left the Xu Manor.

After Xie Liu Niangzi knew that her mother intended to take Xiao Baoxin back to the residence as her daughter-in-law, she completely let go. When she saw Xie Xian, who was escorting them back to the residence, she told him everything that had happened during the banquet.

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Xian’s expression changed.

“.. Brother.” Xie Wan was clear. Looking at her brother’s expression, she knew that her brother did not have any feelings for Xiao Baoxin. “The Eldest Princess has returned to the banquet. Princess Anji and the Xiao family have not appeared. I think the problem has been resolved…”

What solution?

Xie Xian’s head was throbbing with pain. He knew that Xiao Baoxin would never be wronged, but Princess Anji had made such a stupid move. No one knew that there was a hidden love. What if the method was dirty and despicable, and it was in the Eldest Princess ‘residence? Wouldn’t it be impossible to guard against it?

“When we return to the manor in a while, you can take a small sedan to the Xiao manor to sound them out.”

Xie Xian added,”You two have known each other for a long time. This is a difficult time for her. She should be comforted.””

Madam Yuan sat in the car with her eyes closed, pretending not to hear anything.

“Alright.” Xie Wan put down the curtain. Her brother’s arrangement was just what she wanted.

Xie Xian suddenly recalled that at the previous banquet, the Imperial Censor Zhongcheng, Lord Xiao, had also suddenly left without saying goodbye. He had not noticed it at the time, but he had heard from Pan Shuo that Lord Xiao’s expression was extremely ugly when he left. Even Minister Xu had personally asked him to stay, and he had not given him face. He had turned around and left with a flick of his sleeve.

At that time, he only thought that the upright and unyielding Lord Xiao’s temper had flared up, but he never thought that there was a problem in the back of the Xu Manor.

“If you still have things to do here, you can go do your own things. With the coachman guarding the courtyard, it wouldn’t be a hindrance.”Madam Yuan’s voice rang out from the car, interrupting Xie Xian’s thoughts.

“This matter is over. 1’11 send my mother back to the residence.””

The three of them no longer chatted and returned to the Xie Manor. In the blink of an eye, a small sedan was carried out from the backyard of the Xie Manor and headed straight for Qingxi Alley.

“Bao Xin, what exactly happened?”

Madam Xie couldn’t help but complain in the car,””You already said that once you leave the residence, who knows what kind of underhanded methods Princess Anji will use? If she smears your name and splashes dirty water on you, we won’t be able to explain it with our mouths. Don’t be afraid that your parents won’t support you. They are in the wrong in this matter.”

Xiao Baoxin was enduring the violent blow from his mother’s heart towards Princess Anji’s 12,000-word curses, and at the same time, he had to analyze what his mother was saying. His head hurt a little.

Silently, he grabbed Madam Xie’s hand and gently let go.

“Mother, do you think I’m someone who can be bullied?”

“No.”

Madam Xie added,” Only my daughter bullies others, so…” I’m used to it. You suddenly suffered a loss today. Mother can’t accept it at the moment.”

Xiao Baoxin:

Mother, this was her mother.

She thought to herself.

“Does mother know what kind of person Eldest Princess is? Princess Anji was not a concern, but the Eldest Princess was. She was the emperor’s aunt and had always been a powerful figure in the royal family. When Emperor Xian De was still alive, she even protected Prince Pengcheng who had the intention to rebel and controlled the emperor’s will. When it came to the current emperor, although Eldest Princess did not care about the affairs of the world, she still had the prestige of the royal family.”

“Princess Anji has been by her side for many years and also married into the Xu family. It was for the sake of the Xu family and the Eldest Princess’s face. She would not sit idly by and watch Princess Anji cause a scandal on her birthday.”

“If we were to fight head-on, let’s not talk about whether the servants in the Eldest Princess ‘residence would die after the emperor asks them. Even if the evidence is conclusive, the one punished would be Princess Anji, but our Xiao residence, which has been exposed to the emperor, would be roasted on fire.”

“I’m afraid that not only will Eldest Princess hold a grudge, even the Emperor will not be able to treat her well and blame us for not knowing how to appreciate favors.”

Xiao Baoxin’s words were logical and reasonable.

However, she could not help but feel disgusted. Her daughter was indeed stronger than her. In such a short period of time, she had already weighed the pros and cons in her heart.

“Princess Anji knows that we don’t dare to mess with the Eldest Princess! Daughter, this is too aggrieved!”
