Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 320 Start to Revenge

After Qin Yu left, people from outside spread the word that Mrs. Xie had come, but at this moment Xuanyuanming had no intention of seeing Xie Chongguang at all. Hearing Qin Yu's words just now, he suddenly felt enlightened, and wished he could take advantage of it at this moment. He went to the palace at night to see the emperor, and asked him for an order to immediately go to the north.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Xie is still waiting outside, look—" Xiaodouzi hesitated for a while, but still came in to communicate, Xuanyuan Ming waved his hands irritably, "See you! Tell him to go back to me, Bengong It's annoying to see him!"

Xiaodouzi flattened his mouth when he heard the sound, didn't dare to ask any more questions, and retreated silently, and told Xie Chongguang what Xuanyuan Ming said. Your Highness... did he really say that?"

"Your Majesty's meaning, how dare a slave spread it indiscriminately, Mr. Xiang should go back quickly, so as not to offend His Majesty again!" Xiaodouzi said bluntly.

Xie Chongguang sighed, and turned around silently. Now, he is more and more powerless in the court. In the past, he could rely on the Cui family and his two daughters to seek power. He and the Cui family are in the same situation. Since Aunt Liu's accident, he and the Liu family have gradually separated. He wanted to climb the future high branch of the prince, but he didn't want the prince to hate him even more.

Is he old?
Thinking about now, he Xie Chongguang, once prime minister, how glorious, but now, the vacant position of prime minister is vacant, how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, how many people are eager for him to step down, how can he not feel it?
When he was about to leave the Prince's Mansion, Xie Chongguang bumped into Qin Yu. Qin Yu seemed to be waiting for him deliberately on Xie Chongguang's inevitable path. When he saw Xie Chongguang, he pretended to be aloof, as if he hadn't Not familiar with it in general.

Seeing Qin Yu, Xie Chongguang bowed far away, "I've seen the Crown Princess!"

Qin Yu smiled brightly, "Is Prime Minister Xie leaving now? The important matters with His Highness are finished so soon?"

Xuanyuan Ming didn't see Xie Chongguang, Qin Yu naturally knew that Qin Yu's question was nothing more than deliberately humiliating Xie Chongguang, Xie Chongguang pursed his lips, and replied: "It's too late today, Your Highness may be a little tired. "

"Yeah, Your Highness is tired!" Qin Yu said meaningfully: "It's dark and frosty tonight, thank you and let's go!"

For some reason, Xie Chongguang felt that Qin Yu seemed to have brought him a strong sense of oppression, and eagerly left the Prince's Mansion, rolled up his sleeves and wiped his forehead, only to find that layers of cold sweat had already overflowed from his forehead, even Facing Xuanyuan Ming, he had never done this before. The princess was really a little strange, but what was so strange, Xie Chongguang couldn't tell for a while.

"Is Xiangye going back to the mansion?" the attendant asked after leaving the Prince's mansion for a while.

Xie Chongguang looked up at the road leading to the prime minister's mansion, and finally shook his head hesitantly, "Go, go drink!"

"It's so late..." The entourage was a little confused, "If Master Xiang doesn't go back, the old lady will be worried..."

"Worried?" Xie Chongguang sneered, feeling a little bitter, he could only taste it by himself, how could he compare with these servants?They may not really understand it if they say it.

Mrs. Xie Mrs. Li only cared about his official career, and forcibly took several concubines for him, which made the family unable to start a family, and it was really uneasy. Every time Xie Chongguang returned to the prime minister's mansion, he would be disturbed by these troubles. At this time, it seems that he is more likely to miss the old days, at least it is still like a home.

Unfortunately, the old days will never come back.

Xie Chongguang found a tavern on the street, and he went in without hesitation. His attendants advised him not to do so and had to accompany him all the way. He was not happy with the small bowl, and forced the bartender to fetch two large bowls, as if he would not return home without being drunk.

The attendant couldn't help but stepped forward and pulled him, "Master Xiang, don't drink so much, it's not good!"

"What's wrong!" Xie Chongguang stubbornly brushed away his entourage's hand, "I'm the prime minister of the court, have I lost the freedom to drink a few jars of wine?"

Perhaps Xie Chongguang's voice was too loud, which immediately attracted the attention of a few scattered guests in the tavern. Several individual guests turned their heads to look at Xie Chongguang. Xie Chongguang didn't care, but his followers were very loyal. Standing in front of Xie Chongguang, he scolded: "What are you looking at? What's there to see? Drink your wine!"

Xie Chongguang didn't know if it was his own illusion. After drinking a few bowls of wine, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and he seemed to see an old friend in front of him.

Is...is it Lin Mengyao?
Xie Chongguang stared at the person in front of him with misty eyes, was it an illusion?No, it's not like an illusion, it's really Lin Mengyao!

Lin Mengyao was wrapped in a silver-white cloak and stood gracefully in front of Xie Chongguang, Juan'er was at her side, the two of them were passing by, and they heard a guest who came out of the tavern discuss that Xie Xiang was drunk In this tavern, I was curious and came in to have a look.

Sure enough, I still saw him!

In Lin Mengyao's eyes, there was an unspeakable wave, facing Xie Chongguang, her mind was very tangled.

How much she yearned for this man, and how much she hates him now.

The Lin family is gone, and Lin Mengyao's life has been ruined, but the Xie family is still there, Xie Chongguang is still there, and the old woman who forced her to kill her own child is still there!
The last bit of obsession in her heart turned into a deep unwillingness. In her lifetime, she must see the end of his Xie family, which was a hundred times more miserable than the Lin family.

"Miss?" Juan'er held Lin Mengyao's hand at a loss, Lin Mengyao covered her lips and coughed twice.

At this time, Xie Chongguang suddenly threw himself on the wine table and coughed violently, and kept opening his mouth to ask the bartender for a drink while he was in a daze.

"Master Xiang, Master Xiang, it's okay, you can't drink any more, go back quickly, this subordinate will send you back..." The attendant carefully supported Xie Chongguang, but Xie Chongguang couldn't listen to the follower's words at this moment. Staring straight at Lin Mengyao in front of him, his stomach churns, and he pounces on him, but before he touches Lin Mengyao, he collapses on the ground in embarrassment, holding the table legs and throwing up violently.

Lin Mengyao took two steps back in disgust, the pungent nausea flooded all her senses, causing her to frown.

"Miss, let's go..." Juan'er urged.

"Don't go!" Lin Mengyao waved his hand.

"But this...you don't mean to..."

Lin Mengyao sneered, looked up at the attendant beside Xie Chongguang, and said, "Do you still recognize me?"

The attendant looked back at Lin Mengyao in response, and then he cried out in shock, "Husband... madam?"

Lin Mengyao smiled coldly, "You have a good memory, but I am no longer your wife!"

The attendant lowered his head in embarrassment, and was trying to support Xie Chongguang with difficulty. Lin Mengyao pretended to squat down and patted Xie Chongguang's back, sighed, and said, "If we send him back to the Prime Minister's mansion at this time, I'm afraid there will be trouble again." The whole mansion will be turned upside down, if not, my current residence is not far from here, why don't you send it to me?"

"Ma'am..." The attendant hesitated and said, "Is this really good?"

"What's wrong? Your prime minister is already like this, what are you still worried about?"

Right now, Lin Mengyao naturally still lives in the small courtyard where Xie Wanqing used to hide. However, after Xie Wanqing got married, the small courtyard was empty and few people came back. Lin Mengyao simply pooled some money and moved the small courtyard. I bought it and completely occupied it as my own residence.

Xie Chongguang's entourage thought about it and had no choice but to obey Lin Mengyao's wishes and send Xie Chongguang all the way to Lin Mengyao's residence.

That night, Lin Mengyao scrubbed Xie Chongguang's body carefully, obviously she was very unhappy, but she pretended to be like this, no one knew what was going on in her mind.

This night, Xie Chongguang seemed to sleep very peacefully, but Lin Mengyao sat by the window all night.

The next day, when the sky broke, Xie Chongguang woke up faintly. His alcohol-filled mind was still unclear. When he opened his eyes, half a ray of sunlight came in through the window screen, causing him to look at the person by the window involuntarily.

That back... really made him feel familiar.

Lin Mengyao's body froze, she turned around very naturally, looked at the man again, and asked softly, "Are you awake?"

"Yes...wake up...wake up!" Xie Chongguang scratched his scalp, as if he was trying to remember what happened last night.

Lin Mengyao got up and walked slowly forward a few steps, wrung out the towel in the basin beside the bed and handed it to Xie Chongguang. Seeing that Xie Chongguang didn't reach out to pick it up, Lin Mengyao personally held the towel and carefully wiped Xie Chongguang's cheeks.

Xie Chongguang had never enjoyed this feeling before. In the past, relying on the supreme favor of her father and brother, Lin Mengyao never paid attention to anyone in the whole Xiangfu, let alone serving Xie Chongguang to clean up herself. It's just that time has passed. Unexpectedly, this woman would undergo such a change!
Xie Chongguang seemed to be still immersed in the trance just now, but he saw that Lin Mengyao had already tidied up and handed the washed and dried clothes to Xie Chongguang, "Put it on, it's dawn, and the Prime Minister should go back!"

"Last night... us last night?" Xie Chongguang consciously mentioned this night while changing his clothes.

Lin Mengyao just pulled her lips and chuckled, "Mr. Xiang just drank too much. I bumped into him and rested at my place for a whole night. I know Mr. Xiang has a good face. Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, nor will I Someone knows that Master Xiang spent the night with me!"

"I didn't mean that!" Xie Chongguang wanted to explain, but found that no matter what he said, he couldn't explain clearly. There seemed to be too many gaps between him and Lin Mengyao, which could not be bridged.

At the beginning, he could not absolve himself of the blame for Lin Mengyao's fate. Xie Chongguang couldn't help being suspicious of Lin Mengyao, but at the same time he became wary. He always felt that it was not a good thing for this woman to reappear in his sight after disappearing for so long. .
