It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

Chapter 223 What Happened a Few Years Ago

More than twenty years ago, the young lady from the Xie family who entered the palace had outstanding looks and skin as white as snow.

But she is also extremely arrogant, has a cold personality, and is indifferent to everyone.

This person has a calm personality, but he is nice to everyone around him.

He is neither a weak-willed person nor a cold-hearted person.

After entering the palace, she did not do much to please His Majesty.

There are many beauties in the palace, but there is really no one with a personality like hers.

The emperor was completely bewitched by her and doted on her very much.

But even though the young lady from the Xie family was favored, she had a unique personality.

Although he respected the emperor, he did not flatter him.

If she wanted to see the emperor, she would go to see him. If she felt uncomfortable or unhappy, she would tell him directly. If the emperor was not satisfied, she would still throw a tantrum. If the emperor summoned her, she would say that she was unhappy and would not go that day.

If the emperor entered her house, she would directly tell him how he had offended her and neglected her, making her feel unhappy and asking the emperor to find ways to coax her...

The emperor had never seen such a flamboyant yet straightforward personality, and he liked it very much.

I doted on her for a while.

So she soon became pregnant, and the emperor loved her even more.

No one in the palace can replicate this kind of temperament and the way she is favored, and no one can learn it even if they want to.

Before this, the most favored person in the palace, apart from the queen, was the second prince's mother.

When the second prince's mother entered the palace, she was also favored by the emperor. She gave birth to the second prince as her first pregnancy and was extremely honored and favored.

When Concubine Xie was pregnant, the second prince's mother was also pregnant.

However, later on, all the children of these two people were gone.

Xie Songlin wondered if this matter was related to what happened that year.

Xie Songlin suppressed his thoughts and asked the person in front of him, "Have you found anything else? Let's go to the Second Prince and make sure no one saw us."

The second prince rarely dared to leave the house during this period and was extremely cautious in his actions.

For no other reason than the matter between the Seventh Prince and the Lin family, the Second Prince was under strict investigation.

He was so busy trying to clear himself of suspicion that he had no time to pay attention to this matter. He had no idea how these things were connected.

"Also... our people followed the people from the Second Prince's Mansion and discovered something important."

The attendant's voice trembled as he spoke, and he knelt down as he spoke: "There are assassins in the Second Prince's Mansion!"

"Killers?" Xie Songlin's face darkened, and his tone became even colder. "Where are these people going?"

"We couldn't find out, we couldn't hear what they were saying, and our people didn't dare get too close for fear of being discovered."

Xie Songlin frowned upon hearing this. "In that case... you go down first and have someone guard our yard. Tomorrow is the old man's birthday, and we can't let anything go wrong."

"Ordinary people are not allowed in. Those who come in must be checked one by one. Sedan chairs and carriages are not allowed to enter the outer courtyard. Female relatives who come in..."

"I'll arrange for someone to pick you up, or bring you in in a sedan chair." Mrs. Xie added busily.

Xie Songlin glanced at Madam Xie in surprise, then reached out and held Madam Xie's hand with a look of emotion: "Sister Xian, you are so considerate."

Madam Xie: “…” That’s an exaggeration. Isn’t this what she, the mistress of the house, should do?

Seeing Xie Songlin like this, Mrs. Xie finally understood that he did it on purpose.

Deliberately amusing myself to make myself happy.

Follower: “…” It’s already this late, and you still have the mood to do this.

Alas, headache.

"Go do it." Xie Songlin glanced at the follower who was still kneeling there, and his tone became cold, completely different from before.

The follower wiped tears in his heart: "Yes."

Is there anyone who can take care of him? He didn’t sleep all night!

Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't dare to resist at all. I immediately turned around and went out to do my work.

After the entourage left, Xie Songlin's face was still calm, as if he was thinking about something, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Xie glanced at Xie Songlin from the side and couldn't help asking.

Xie Songlin said, "Tomorrow...is our son-in-law coming to our house?"

"He will come. He's good friends with our son. Also... I've sent an invitation to Nan Yan. The old man also sent an invitation to Nan Yan's third brother, asking him to bring Nan Yan's family along."

Mrs. Xie said, "No matter how you look at it, my son-in-law will come."

Xie Songlin didn't say anything, but frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about. He looked quite serious.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Xie asked when she saw that he didn't say anything.

Xie Songlin glanced at Madam Xie and couldn't help but say, "I'm wondering...are the Second Prince's men coming for my son-in-law?"

Mrs. Xie's expression also became more serious. She nodded at Xie Songlin and said in a serious tone, "I think so too."

Hearing Mrs. Xie say this, Xie Songlin's face darkened and he said, "If you really guessed right, then we have to be more careful and not make any mistakes."

Mrs. Xie thought for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Since that's the case... we've already recognized each other, so Nan Yan should have talked to her son-in-law about it, and he should know who we are."

"How about... I'll tell Nan Yan tomorrow, and you stay in the outer courtyard and tell your son-in-law first."

"We have to make sure nothing goes wrong, especially not at the old man's birthday party."

"Otherwise... this matter is serious and will cause trouble later."

Xie Songlin nodded and sighed. Looking at Madam Xie's worried eyes, he felt distressed for a moment. He sighed and said to Madam Xie, "Don't worry, I will make arrangements and nothing will go wrong."

"Those two boys at home, the second one usually practices martial arts, it's time to put it to use."

Mrs. Xie knew that Xie Songlin was quite capable, so she didn't take it too seriously and nodded slightly: "I know."

"Okay, it's not dawn yet, you can rest for a while, it's okay to get up later." Xie Songlin said: "I have to arrange the rest myself. I won't feel at ease if I don't keep an eye on it myself."

Anyway, it was almost dawn and he couldn't sleep well.

Since it was something that couldn't go wrong, he had to oversee it personally.

Mrs. Xie said, "I have so much to do, how can I sleep peacefully?"

Xie Songlin said: "The things that need to be arranged have been arranged long ago, and the people below are also capable of doing your job."

"You don't have to worry about anything now. Just take a break. If you appear beautiful in front of other women, you will save my face."

"Don't worry about the rest. I can take care of it. Only when you feel at ease can I work with confidence."

"Second brother's wife is also a good person and can help. You just need to take a rest. If you can't do that, there is still mother."

After hearing what Xie Songlin said, Mrs. Xie thought about it and said, "Okay, I have to take a good rest. When Nan Yan comes over tomorrow, those people with bad intentions might embarrass her. If I don't take a good rest, I won't have the energy to help her."

"That's right. You just take a rest and don't think about anything else." Xie Songlin said hurriedly.

Madam Xie glanced at Xie Songlin, and after thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "There's one more thing I want to ask you."
