Chapter 26: Does Xie Wenrou regret it?

Xie Wenwan took a deep breath and laughed at herself, what did she expect? Do she expect others to stand up for her? After coming here for two years, didn't she already accept that she was neglected by her biological father and wanted to be ripped off by her stepmother?

Thinking of this, Xie Wenwan looked up again and could no longer see any emotion.

"Thank you grandma for caring. My granddaughter knows."

Xie Wenwan said goodbye and returned to her yard. Wen looked at her back and her eyes suddenly turned cold. She resented how the killer could have missed her. When she turned around, she found Heng staring at her faintly. She immediately raised a smile.

"Mom, I'll go back and prepare too."

Hengshi looked at her for a moment without saying a word. Wenshi was a little flustered and said sarcastically.

"Mom, what do you mean by looking at me like this?"

After a while, Heng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and waved his hand.

"You all go out..."

After everyone left, Heng opened his eyes and sighed.

"Mr. Wen is determined to let Liu Yatou enter the Duke's mansion."

Aunt Hua pondered for a moment and said: "Old madam, let them young people handle the affairs of the young people themselves. Don't worry about it anymore."

Heng didn't answer, but came over for a moment and said again.

"Actually, it's not impossible for Sixth Girl to enter the Duke's Mansion. The third youngest and the eldest are both my sons. No matter which of the two brothers is better, they will never forget to help their brothers, namely Wang and Sister Rou...

.Forget it, I won’t get involved, everyone can do what they want.”

In Chunhui Courtyard, the courtyard was deserted. Bai Zhi was injured in the hospital. Little Ye Zi, who had just been brought up, was also injured. One of the four maids died, and the remaining three followed Aunt Zhu.

Xie Wenwan smiled self-deprecatingly, as if she was alone.

If she could, Xie Wenwan really wanted to leave here, but her life was almost lost just because of the Duke's mansion. She really wanted to say that she would marry whomever she wanted, but she was afraid that no one would believe her even if she said it.

But Xie Wenwan knew that with her current ability, it was impossible to leave the Xie family. Originally, she wanted to find an ordinary person to get married. When the time came, she could rely on her own abilities to become a wealthy country gentry. It would also be good to be a wealthy idler.

But now with the matter of the Duke's Mansion, I am afraid that the dream of this wealthy and idle man will not be realized.

After thinking about it, I spent the night in a daze, and when dawn came, no one came to wait on me. Xie Wenwan got up, cleaned up, and finally called all the maids in the yard to the yard.

There are four second-class maids, four third-class maids, and two rough servants in Chunhui Courtyard. One of the third-class maids is Xiao Zizi, who has been promoted to a first-class maid, so now there are four second-class maids.

Waiting maids, three third-class maids.

Among them, hibiscus and peony were brought over by Mrs. Liu last time she was poisoned. Xie Wenwan was not familiar with the others, so she ordered these two.

"Hibiscus and Shaoyao will be promoted to eldest maids starting today."

The two of them didn't expect such a good thing, so they were grateful and thanked them constantly.

Xie Wenwan: "I don't ask you to fight for me, but at least you must be loyal and not cheat on me. Otherwise, once you find out, you will never be lenient."

The two of them nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, girl, we won't betray you."

Xie Wenwan didn't say anything more. Whether there was betrayal or not depends on how he behaves in the future.

"Go ahead and stare outside today. If anything happens, tell me right away."

At about noon, Hibiscus came back to report that there was a letter from the Duke's Mansion, saying that the Crown Princess had gone.

Xie Wenwan sighed after hearing this, but still couldn't hold on.

After a while, the flower nanny in the old lady's courtyard informed the masters of each courtyard that the whole house would fast for three days to pray for the Crown Princess. She also asked everyone to prepare their plain clothes and go to the Duke's Mansion to pay homage.

Because Wang and the Marquis did not come back from the Duke's Mansion, the next day, Wen and Liu took people from each court to the Duke's Mansion to pay homage. Although the old lady was also sad, she was an elder after all.

No need to go in person.

Xie Wenwan wore a black double-breasted dress and only had a plain jade hairpin in her hair. She was simple and plain, and went to the Duke's Mansion with everyone.

When we arrived at the Duke's Mansion, a white cloth had been hung on the gate, and carriages coming to express condolences were parked in front of the door. Xie's family was taken to the mourning hall, and they went one by one in order to offer incense to Xie Wenrou and say goodbye.

Xie Wenwan went to offer incense. Standing in front of the mourning hall to receive him were the crown prince Lu Rui, Lu Yingying and Lu Shanshan. The three of them were all dressed in plain clothes and looked sad.

Xie Wenwan was not familiar with the three of them and did not even exchange greetings. However, Lu Shanshan's eyes flashed when she saw Xie Wenwan, probably remembering the dirty talk between the two of them yesterday.

After offering incense and bowing, Xie Wenwan took one last look at Xie Wenrou, thinking that yesterday she held her hand and talked, but now she was lying in the coffin, her face pale and breathless.

Xie Wenwan sighed secretly, so, what is the purpose of life? Someone like Xie Wenrou would regret her original decision. If she had not married into the Duke's palace, maybe she would still be living well.

Xie Wenrou is the legitimate daughter of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. Although the Hou Mansion was already in decline when she was born, she was still an established noble and could be considered a wealthy family, so she grew up surrounded by thousands of favors.

When the descendants of declining nobles are unable to support themselves and maintain their family fortune through meritorious service, relying on marriage to maintain honor and favor is the choice of many aristocratic families.

Xie Wenrou was carefully cultivated since she was a child, and almost all the efforts of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion were devoted to marrying into a good husband's family, so as to bring help to the declining Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

It can be said that Xie Wenrou was successful. She successfully married into the Duke's Palace and brought a powerful family of in-laws to the Zhongyong Palace. However, no one expected that she would be so short-lived.

The Xie family is not only saddened by the fate of Xie Wenrou, a beautiful woman, but also saddened by the future of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

Seeing Xie Wenrou pass away at a young age, Xie Wenwan had complicated emotions. During these years of successful marriage, her life was not as happy as she imagined.
