Chapter 119

Inside and outside (Bonus for tipping).

Nie Jinxuan asked in a low voice, looking at Nie Jinhui without blinking, not missing any expression on her face. Hearing this, Nie Jinhui was stunned, but then frowned in difficulty.

"Uh... Jinxuan, this, this..."

"Second sister, just tell me the truth! Xiao Xiu already said the drug was given to her by you... Besides, we were all at Zuixiashanzhuang, and we couldn't go out, so how did you get that drug?! Or are you saying that you had prepared it long before going to Zuixiashanzhuang?!"

Nie Jinxuan voiced her worst suspicion. But as soon as she said this, Nie Jinhui widened her eyes and reflexively shouted:

"How is that possible? Jinxuan, how could I... how could I carry that thing with me?! Besides, how could I have predicted that your relationship with the Prince would turn sour and that you would end up writing a divorce document?"

"Then how did second sister..."

"Oh my, this is truly hard to say, but Jinxuan, you must believe me, I definitely didn't do what you just said!"

"Then what is second sister hiding? Could it be that Consort Zhang gave it to you?"

Yes, Consort Zhang had always disliked her and Yin Fengzhan divorcing, so if such a situation occurred, it was very possible that Consort Zhang had given the drug to Nie Jinhui to make them reconcile from the side!

But if that were the case, why did Consort Zhang only talk to her about the divorce today, instead of taking action back at Zuixiashanzhuang?!

Nie Jinxuan couldn't figure it out. At this moment, seeing Nie Jinxuan's determined attitude, Nie Jinhui was also in a difficult position, but after struggling for a long while, she pursed her lips and leaned toward Nie Jinxuan:

"Jinxuan, if I tell you, don't be angry..."

"Hmm, second sister, just say it! Who did you get the drug from?"

"It was... it was... it was the Crown Princess!"

Nie Jinhui finally said the name. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan widened her eyes. Seeing this, Nie Jinhui hurriedly explained:

"Oh my, Jinxuan, don't be angry, listen to my explanation... Actually, I didn't know that the Crown Princess had a private relationship with the Prince at the time! So when Xiao Xiu told me you were planning to divorce, although I said it bluntly, in reality, I had no confidence!"

"After all, just as you said, Zuixiashanzhuang is so far from the capital, surrounded by forests, and I didn't know anyone in the villa. The only person I was somewhat familiar with was Consort Zhang, but I couldn't talk to her about this! But just when I was most anxious, I don't know how, but the Crown Princess suddenly appeared. And the Crown Princess, you've seen her, she looks gentle and delicate, and she even said she was a good friend of the Prince, and if there were any difficulties, not to be polite..."

"Of course, at first, I was afraid that the Crown Princess might have some schemes and ill intentions. But after thinking about it, I thought it shouldn't be, after all, Jinxuan, think about it, the Crown Princess, regardless of the past, is now married to the Crown Prince! And I heard her relationship with the Crown Prince is quite good. And the Prince goes without saying, so, one is a married woman, and the other is a married man, and it involves the Imperial family, so even if the Crown Princess had the courage of heaven, she wouldn't dare to have designs on the Prince... So, I let my guard down."

"But who would have thought, what I feared would happen, the Crown Princess actually did such a base thing, so... sigh, to tell you the truth, Jinxuan, ever since that incident, I haven't been able to eat or sleep well for these past few days, thinking that this good deed wasn't done, but instead, I let the Crown Princess have her way! And caused such a misunderstanding! But I didn't dare to tell you directly..."

Nie Jinhui became more and more distressed, and by the end, she was almost in tears. Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan naturally couldn't say anything, and after comforting Nie Jinhui briefly, she stood up and left.

When Nie Jinxuan walked out of the Nie residence, it was already afternoon!

April weather, the sun was at its brightest, but Nie Jinxuan's heart was extremely heavy!

Nie Jinhui said the drug was given by the Crown Princess. But the Crown Princess was hesitant about who called her out that night, even telling her to ask Yin Fengzhan! But Yin Fengzhan had said before that this was all a misunderstanding, and even suspected at the beginning that she had drugged him to frame him and the Crown Princess...

Heavens, Nie Jinxuan was about to faint! And among these, who was telling the truth, and who was lying?! I imagine only heaven knows!

Just like that, Nie Jinxuan returned to the Wangfu, her heart heavy with thoughts. But as soon as she returned to the Wangfu, she heard that her usually quiet Ningxiang Yuan was bustling with activity.

She spoke in a low voice to Yin Fengzhan behind her, but before she could finish, Nie Jinxuan stopped abruptly, her feet halting. She then bent down and crouched.

It turned out that the spacious room was crowded with people: Qin Yuxia and Bai Meilan were sitting to the side talking, Han Luoxue was feeding medicine to the man lying on the bed with enthusiasm and gentleness, and several maids were busy with something in the room, while the timid Xiao Xiu was completely squeezed to the side, looking like a punching bag!

Seeing this, after a brief moment of being stunned, Nie Jinxuan's face darkened. At this moment, perhaps hearing the door open, Xiao Xiu, hiding in the corner of the room, looked up, and seeing Nie Jinxuan return, her eyes lit up, and she ran over.

"Princess Consort, you're back..."

Xiao Xiu's joy was obvious. At this moment, hearing Xiao Xiu's voice, the others in the room turned their heads, and seeing Nie Jinxuan, Bai Meilan stood up to bow first, then Qin Yuxia also bowed and said:

"Princess Consort sister, you're back~! But Princess Consort sister, you are truly something, the Prince is injured, why didn't you say so earlier? That way we sisters could have helped share the burden~"

Qin Yuxia's words had an ulterior meaning, and Nie Jinxuan saw through her heart at a glance. So, hearing this, Nie Jinxuan just glanced at her lightly and then turned her gaze to Han Luoxue, who was by the bed.

"Consort Han has also come."

Looking at Han Luoxue, Nie Jinxuan spoke gently, her calm eyes revealing no joy or anger. At this moment, hearing this, Han Luoxue smiled slightly, set the medicine bowl in her hand aside, and stood up to say to Nie Jinxuan:

"Yes, Princess Consort sister, I was worried to hear the Prince was injured, and that you weren't in the Wangfu, so I felt uneasy and came to help."

"Is that so... Then thank you, Consort Han!"

She spoke with an impassive expression. After speaking, Nie Jinxuan walked over and sat down.

"However, although the intentions of Consort Han and the two sisters are good, coming directly into my room is still somewhat inappropriate..."

"Uh... Princess Consort sister, don't misunderstand, because the Prince is here, so..."

Han Luoxue explained anxiously, and then she couldn't help but turn to look at Yin Fengzhan lying on the bed. Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan smiled.

"Hmm, that makes sense~! So I said earlier, thank you, Consort Han~!"

"Uh... not at all, Princess Consort sister, you are too kind... Then since you are back, Princess Consort sister, I will take my leave."

At this moment, anyone with eyes could see that Nie Jinxuan was displeased. So, Han Luoxue naturally wouldn't ask for trouble. But after finishing her words to Nie Jinxuan, she turned to Yin Fengzhan and said:

"Prince, please rest well, I will take my leave. If you need anything, just call me~!"

She spoke with tenderness, and after speaking, Han Luoxue gave Yin Fengzhan an affectionate look before turning to leave. Seeing Han Luoxue leaving, Qin Yuxia and Bai Meilan couldn't stay either and stood up one after another...

But just as Han Luoxue and the others were about to walk out of the room, Nie Jinxuan suddenly spoke:

"Wait!"

"Uh... I wonder what else you have, Princess Consort sister?"

"Nothing much, I just have something I want to say to you all..."

Nie Jinxuan said lightly, stood up, and at this moment, whether it was Han Luoxue and the others, or Yin Fengzhan lying on the bed, they all turned their gaze to Nie Jinxuan... Then, Nie Jinxuan, who had stood up, walked over to Han Luoxue, Qin Yuxia, and the others.

Meeting Han Luoxue's eyes, Nie Jinxuan looked calm, then slowly shifted her gaze, swept across Qin Yuxia and Bai Meilan behind her, and finally landed back on Han Luoxue.

"Han Luoxue, I know what you are thinking! If you want to compete for favor, go ahead, I will never stop you, but please pay attention to your reputation when you do. Otherwise, even if you gain the Prince's favor, it won't be good if people laugh at your base methods outside~! After all, reputation is just as important as substance~!"

Nie Jinxuan said word by word. Hearing this, Han Luoxue flushed red, and Qin Yuxia behind her wanted to say something, but after meeting Nie Jinxuan's eyes, she immediately shut her mouth.

For a time, the room fell into an eerie silence. After a long while, Han Luoxue raised her eyebrows and said:

"Princess Consort sister, we are all sisters serving the Prince, why must you... why must you say that?"

Han Luoxue's eyes were filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great grievance, but hearing this, Nie Jinxuan smiled.

"Consort Han, I am just giving you a kind reminder. Of course, if you feel my words are unpleasant, just don't listen to them! Anyway, when the time comes to lose face, it won't be me~!"

After speaking, Nie Jinxuan glanced at Han Luoxue again, then walked past them, returned to her seat, and sat down...
