Chapter 245 Is it for me or for yourself
Subconsciously a little scared, Mingxiu avoided his eyes.
"Nan Lingfeng is Mi Niang's husband after all. If he is not good, Mi Niang will also be bad."
And Zhen Mi Niang is her best sister.
Between the sisters' lives and the country's dynasty, it's really hard for Mingxiu to choose which one is more important.
But for Xie Zhan, there was nothing to hesitate about.
"When she married Nan Lingfeng, she was destined to devote her life to the desert."
If she disobeys, all the glory she has now can be taken back since it can be given to her.
Even if Zhen Mi Niang is his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him, there will be no change.
The bloodthirsty tone in Xie Zhan's tone made Mingxiu startled and a little panicked at the same time.
just like……
For him, anything can be given up for the desert.
If Zhen Mi Niang is like this, then won't she be like this?
Lowering her eyes, Mingxiu didn't know the answer.
But she subconsciously felt that she was not much better than Zhen Mi Niang.
Sensing Mingxiu's discomfort, Xie Zhan relaxed and looked at her calmly, "Why did you come to me?"
She said just now that she was not here because of Nan Lingfeng's affairs. Xie Zhan remembered this.
"... Lan Shuang has found someone he likes in the palace, I think..."
Mingxiu's eyes were a little dodgeful. It was originally because of this, but now she seemed a little careless.
No need to explain clearly, Xie Zhan knew what she wanted to do.
"I will ask Lan Shuang later, but she is leaving at this time, and you are afraid that you will have to find a cook again."
Obviously, just two months is not enough for Blue Double to train a successor.
And the emperor was a delicious food, so Mingxiu had no choice but to sacrifice another cook.
Mingxiu sighed, "I will arrange it."
She still didn't want to look into Xie Zhan's eyes, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Before Xie Zhan could answer, she ran away as if there was a ghost chasing her.
"...don't you want to know what happened to the Shu family?"
If Xie Zhan hadn't mentioned it, Mingxiu wouldn't have even thought of the Shu family or Shu Wenqi.
But even if he mentioned it, Mingxiu couldn't get much interest.
"Just deal with it as you think."
Does it matter what kind of thoughts she has?
No matter what she thinks, Xie Zhan will always act according to his own thoughts.
Since there is no way to control it, just keep out of sight and keep your mind pure.
Seeing her like this, Xie Zhan knew that she had misunderstood.
Not allowing her to escape, Xie Zhan pulled her and turned around, "I'm venting my anger on you."
Is he venting his anger on her or on himself?
The corners of Mingxiu's lips curled up in a mocking arc, "The prince said yes, so be it."
She often came to him feeling angry. If she had known this, she should have found a solution on her own.
Based on her relationship with the emperor, it shouldn't be a big problem to exchange people for people to get Lan Shuang out of the palace to get married in advance, so why bother going around in circles?
Seeing her like this, Xie Zhan suddenly became anxious. He knew that if Mingxiu allowed the misunderstanding to continue, the misunderstanding would really become a dead end.
"If you just offend me, the most I can do is let Mr. Shu fend for himself wherever he comes from. There are always many people in the government who flatter you and despise others, but it won't bring harm to your family."
If he just offended him, with his pride, he would not care about the life and death of Shu Wenqi and Cui.
But this time he took action.
The reason was that it was Shu Wenqi who made Mingxiu depressed, and the pickled medicine came from Cui's hand.
Of course, Xie Zhan didn't tell Mingxiu about the twists and turns, and she didn't need to know.
As long as Mingxiu can understand that what he does is not for himself, that's enough.
These words really made Mingxiu a little more interested.
"Then my lord, can you tell me how you treat the Shu family?"
"Master Shu was demoted to the magistrate of Nanling County, and Mrs. Cui accompanied him. Shu Wenqi framed the princess and was disrespectful to the king. At this time, he was married."
This is just a superficial treatment.
With Xie Zhan pressing down on him, Mr. Shu would be stuck in the assessment every year, and it would be impossible for him to get promoted. In addition, Nanling County's tax account books were always being checked, and there were even people beside him.
His people are watching, and if there is any case of bending the law for personal gain or embezzling taxes, they will be discovered as soon as possible.
The mountains and rivers over Nanling are high and the county magistrate is not that easy to do.
Mr. Shu and Mrs. Cui have lived in the capital all their lives, but are trapped in a barbarian land like Nanling. For them, it would be more severe than killing them.
And the culprit is Shu Wenqi.
She is indeed married, and seems to be doing well.
But anyone with a little knowledge knows that her husband has a hot temper and has beaten three wives to death. There are also two bastards in the family. Shu Wenqi's life will not be easy in the future.
Although there are some twists and turns, his hands are not dirty at all. Xie Zhan thinks that Mingxiu will like this way of handling it.
"Killing people and punishing the heart, the prince is really ruthless."
Lips curled up, Mingxiu's face couldn't tell whether it was appreciation or disgust.
But there was no resistance to Xie Zhan's touch.
Shu Wenqi's life and death had nothing to do with him. As long as Mingxiu could feel more comfortable, Xie Zhan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you dare to plot against you, you should be prepared to bear my wrath."
Mingxiu raised her eyebrows noncommittally. If he really wanted to care about her as much as he said, then Shu Wenqi should have taken action when he planned to drug her, instead of taking the so-called overall situation into account and delaying it until now.
It even made Shu Wenqi think that he could get away with it after scheming against her, and dared to openly provoke her at the palace banquet.
"Are you not angry now?"
Carefully observing Mingxiu's expression, although her expression softened slightly, it was definitely not joyful. Xie Zhan didn't understand, what else could he not do well?
"My daughter does not dare to be angry." Mingxiu lowered his eyes and looked very respectful, "If the prince has nothing else to do, I will leave first."
After grabbing Mingxiu who was about to leave, Xie Zhan was very puzzled, "What did I do wrong? Tell me and I will change it."
When he got along with Mingxiu in the past, he only felt relaxed and comfortable, as if all his feelings would be taken care of and someone understood.
But this feeling changed after I had a heart-to-heart talk with Mingxiu.
She seemed to be becoming arrogant.
It is true that Xie Zhan is willing to watch Mingxiu be happy and angry in front of him, but most of the time he doesn't understand why she is angry.
"Everything is fine with the prince, but it is my daughter who is not."
She couldn't pass the test in her heart. After going through this, Mingxiu recently understood that as Xie Zhan's wife, she couldn't laugh and curse as she pleased.
If you want peace, you can only be a sensible and helpful princess to Xie Zhan.
What happened that day was that she was willful.
He looked at Mingxiu quietly for a long time, and finally he was just dejected.
If Mingxiu doesn't want to say anything, even if he tries in every possible way, there will be no results.
Her stubbornness is often very similar to Xie Zhan's own stubbornness.
Maybe one of the reasons for his insistence on Mingxiu is because he saw himself in Mingxiu.
"There are still thirty-five days before the wedding. You..."
"You and I don't want to see each other again these days. I was rude this time." Mingxiu apologized slightly.
This time, she wanted to leave Xie Zhan and did not stop her.
It can't be stopped either.
Mingxiu is very heartbreaking, but every time she looks like she is rejecting others, it is indeed heartbreaking.
Watching her leave, even though Xie Zhan had thousands of words in his heart, he could not say them out.
I hope that meeting him day and night in the future will help him understand Mingxiu better.
"Princess Princess!"
As soon as Mingxiu arrived home, Sanniang hurried over.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Even though she has been in charge for such a long time, she is still so reckless, which makes Mingxiu helpless.
"This slave is reckless." Sanniang stopped quickly, and Oriole stepped forward to pour her a cup of tea.
"What's the matter? Just tell me."
