Chapter 178: Exposed on the Spot
Gu Xi knew he had to say: "Don't talk nonsense without any evidence. What's more, Miss Jian is the savior of my mother and concubine. She doesn't look at the face of a monk or the face of a Buddha."
Xie Fubai couldn't help but said: "Wan'er, if you have any grievances, let's go back to the house and talk about it. Don't act wild here."
Xie Wan'er retorted directly: "She can deceive you, but she can't deceive me! I have many good friends in the circle in Beijing, and I heard everything as soon as I came back.
During the draft, she just showed off her talent and knowledge and deliberately sought the limelight. I also heard that when my cousin was drafting, he made it clear that he was in conflict with people who were born in the Five Elements of Fire, and that anyone with the Five Elements or with Fire in their name should avoid it.
She, Jian Shuyan, clearly has the word "fire" in her name, but she refuses to withdraw from the draft. Isn't she just deliberately trying to marry my cousin? "
As soon as these words came out, Jian Shuyan's pretty face turned red.
Xie Fubai was stunned and couldn't help turning his face to look at Jian Shuyan, not believing it at all.
Jian Shuyan said that she couldn't help herself. She was forced by her family. She would try every means to lose the election. She didn't want to marry into Prince Pingxi's palace.
I pity her, sympathize with her, understand her, take all the responsibilities on myself, and don't allow anyone to use this matter to say "no" to her.
But if what Wan'er said was true, everything would be thought-provoking and become a joke.
Liang Jiang was also very surprised. Gu Xizhi didn't publicize this matter, but Xie Wan'er found out about it just two days after returning to Beijing?
She glanced at Xie Wan'er and then at Gu Xizhi, thinking deeply in her heart.
How could Xie Wan'er's words be unintentional? Is it possible that Gu Xizhi had instructed her to tell the truth through her mouth?
Gu Xizhi looked surprised and looked at Jian Shuyan: "Miss Jian, is what Wan'er said true?"
Jian Shuyan hesitated and was speechless.
Jian Shangshu hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "My little girl did have the word "flame" as her name when she was young, but it has been changed a long time ago. The previous name does not count."
Gu Xizhi snorted coldly: "Did Master Jian say that if you don't count, you won't count? At the time of the draft, I specifically stated this matter, why didn't your daughter say a word about it?"
Jian Shangshu was rendered speechless by the rebuttal, and he and Jian Shuyan knelt down on the ground to plead guilty.
Gu Xizhi's face was as dark as water: "Everyone knows that my imperial brother is the most convinced of the Taoist theory of the five elements. Whether the horoscope and the five elements of the king and the princess are consistent will also affect my luck in Chang'an.
How dare you deceive me? If Wan'er hadn't exposed it, we would be getting married in a few days. What else would you do if you weren't deceiving me? "
Jian Shuyan lowered her head: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. When Shu Yan changed her name, it was because of the guidance of an expert. Changing her name means changing her destiny, as well as the five elements. The previous name will be invalidated.
If the prince minds, Shu Yan will go to the palace and ask the emperor to take back his decree. "
"That's all," Gu Xizhi said coldly: "For the sake of Miss Jian's kindness to my mother and concubine, I will not care about this matter. However, I will personally report it to the emperor and ask him to make a decision."
Jian Shuyan's face turned pale and she was at a loss.
Gu Xizhi turned his face and asked Xie Wan'er, "Wan'er, are you feeling better?"
Xie Wan'er nodded: "It's much better now."
"Then go back to the Marquis Mansion to take care of it, and don't disturb Master Jian and the others."
Xie Wan'er nodded and said very obediently: "I listen to my cousin."
The servants of the Hou Mansion hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xie Wan'er up.
Mrs. Xie glanced at Xie Fubai worriedly: "Fubai, let's go back home?"
Xie Fubai kept staring in Jian Shuyan's direction, with complicated emotions surging in his eyes, and his face was full of hurt. He didn't even hear Mrs. Xie's urging words. Gu Xizhi sighed and patted his shoulder: "Fubai, let's go."
Xie Fubai then looked at Jian Shuyan deeply as if waking up from a dream, and said hoarsely: "Let's go."
Jian Shuyan opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. This time Xie Wan'er came prepared. He was caught off guard and lost, but that didn't mean there was no chance for him to make a comeback.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and no one paid attention to the galangal when they left.
Gu Xizhi looked at her silently, turned around and walked out first.
Xie Wan'er felt happy at this moment, and she didn't look as sick as before. She followed Gu Xizhi out of Jian's mansion almost lively.
Liang Jiang went out silently, and Xie Fubai finally regained his composure, twisted his face and forced out a smile: "Thank you for making this trip."
"Brother, why do you have to be polite to me? They are all my little sisters."
Mrs. Xie also held Liang Jiang's hand, feeling very emotional.
The last time I saw her, Liang Jiang was the daughter of a sinner, and I looked down upon her life experience.
Now, after not seeing each other for a short period of time, she has quietly made a comeback. Not only has she cleared the grievances of Duke Liang, but she has also become famous and received a commendation from the emperor.
I couldn't help but think of the day when Liangjiang left the Hou Mansion, the old lady sighed quietly and said: "It's a pity that we missed this time. We may not be able to catch up with her in the future."
At that time, she didn't take it seriously, and she was still thinking about Jian Shuyan's gentleness, virtuousness, knowledge of books and etiquette.
Today, Xie Wan'er mercilessly exposed Jian Shuyan's ambition and hypocrisy, and all the good things Jian Shuyan had in the past became a joke.
Looking at Liang Jiang again, apart from being married once, she is simply brilliant and is good everywhere.
He sighed and said with emotion: "If Wan'er could be half as sensible as you, my adoptive mother would be happy."
Then he called Xie Wan'er who was walking at the front: "Wan'er, why don't you come over quickly and meet your good sister."
Xie Wan'er paused, turned around, and looked at Liang Jiang with hostility: "Where did I get Sister Liang from?"
Xie Fubai said: "This is Princess Heya of the Duke's Mansion whom I mentioned to you, my newly sworn sworn sister."
"Princess Heya? Is she the one who just wanted to bleed me with a knife?"
Liang Jiang nodded slightly at her: "Exactly. Princess, just call me Liang Jiang."
Xie Wan'er looked her up and down unscrupulously: "A few days ago, my cousin followed you to Xiliang?"
Liang Jiang nodded again: "Yes."
There was annoyance on Xie Wan'er's face: "In order to accompany you to Xiliang, my cousin actually ignored my aunt and asked us to go to Beijing by ourselves. If it hadn't been for you, nothing would have happened to my aunt on the way, and she would not have Jane. What happened to Shu Yan?"
Liang Jiang wondered, what happened to Concubine Xie, and what does it have to do with Jian Shuyan? When did you feel the kindness to save your life?
Xie Fubai looked embarrassed: "How are you talking to the princess? Besides, cousin, it's for state affairs!"
Xie Wan'er was scolded, and tears gathered in her eyes again: "My cousin came to Beijing this time and didn't come back for a long time. I was worried in Weixi, so I wrote a letter specifically to ask you to help me guard him.
Who knew, not only was there Jian Shuyan, but now there was also Liangjiang. Just now he stabbed me with a knife, which was obviously an opportunity to bully me. "
Liang Jiang asked with a smile: "It turns out that the princess knows everything. If you wake up a little later, my knife will really penetrate. I guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease, and the princess will be free from illness and disaster in the future."
