Chapter 337 Dare to contradict yourself
Wang Xinyao was shocked when she heard what Queen Yang Qingwan said. She didn't know why her mother suddenly mentioned Xie Xiaogang.
Before she could react from her daze, Yang Qingwan's voice rang out again: "Tell me, where is Xie Xiaogang from? How is his family situation?"
"Empress Tanmu, brother Xiaogang is from Xiejia Village, Nanhu County!" When she said this, she secretly glanced at Yang Wanqing.
"His father is the village chief of our place!" Wang Xinyao felt a little uneasy when she said this.
"What?" Yang Wanqing suddenly stood up from the chair, her movements so violent that her clothes fluttered.
Then, she slammed her palm on the table and shouted angrily, "How dare the son of a mere village chief covet the princess of Xia Country? How bold! He truly has no idea of his own limitations!"
Wang Xinyao was frightened by this sudden anger, her face pale with fear, and she hurriedly said, "Mother, Mother, what exactly happened?"
"How could you not know?" Yang Wanqing's voice was cold.
She muttered to herself, "I wonder what sin I committed in my past life? Why did I choose between my two beloved children, and why did they both fall in love with people from remote mountainous areas?"
It would be fine if they were from different regions, but one was a widow with three children; the other was the son of a small village chief in the mountains. It was obvious that he was an uneducated and reckless man.
Even if Xie Xiaogang saved Wei'er's life, His Majesty has already rewarded him, which is enough to repay the life-saving grace.
"Queen, what are you doing?" Queen Mother Luo Lan frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. "If you have something to say, please talk nicely. Don't scare the child!"
She turned to look at Wang Xinyao and said, "The ground is cold, Queen, please tell Xinyao to get up quickly."
Yang Qingwan then realized that she had lost her composure in front of the Queen Mother. She took a deep breath, slowly sat down, and calmed down her emotions before saying, "Alright, get up."
Wang Xinyao slowly stood up from the ground, her feet aching from kneeling for so long.
She frowned slightly and subconsciously rubbed her knees gently.
I never expected that when I traveled back to ancient times, I would also encounter the eternal problem of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. There was really no way to avoid it.
She remembered that at the beginning, her mother liked her very much, but she didn't know when she started to treat her coldly.
Oh, now I remember, it seemed to have started after I got married and learned that she was a widow from Xiejia Village.
Although she was a widow and also took on the title of stepmother, none of these were her own choices. The hand of fate had firmly pinned these identities on her.
What's more, to this day, she is still an innocent girl, but she has to endure such an unreasonable trick of fate. How innocent and helpless she is.
Thinking of this, Wang Xinyao felt very aggrieved, her nose tip couldn't help but feel sore, and her eyes were slightly red.
Yang Wanqing locked her gaze on Wang Xinyao, her eyes filled with inquiry as she pressed, "You really don't know anything at all?"
Her voice rose slightly, as if she was very confused about Wang Xinyao's ignorance.
Wang Xinyao looked confused and shook her head subconsciously.
"My daughter-in-law really doesn't know what happened?" Her tone was firm, her brows slightly furrowed, and her expression was full of curiosity and confusion.
Yang Wanqing sighed slightly and said, "Wei'er has been talking about Xie Xiaogang every day recently. His name is the only one she keeps repeating. She even said that she will not marry anyone else but him!"
When saying this, Yang Wanqing's face was full of disgust.
How could the son of a village chief be worthy of his precious daughter, not to mention that his daughter is the most beloved princess of His Majesty?
"Ah?" Wang Xinyao couldn't help but let out a soft cry, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.
Her eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened, obviously shocked by the news.
Zhao Yuwei's face suddenly appeared in Wang Xinyao's mind.
She frowned, her eyes full of confusion, and she couldn't piece together the look on Zhao Yuwei's face when she was obsessed with Xie Xiaogang.
Who could have expected that Brother Xiaogang, who looked ordinary, could be so charming that Zhao Yuwei would fall in love with him.
Wang Xinyao felt her heart was filled with disbelief.
When Wang Xinyao was surprised, Queen Mother Luo Lan slowly spoke: "Wei'er is a child who has always been willful. But we can't let her do whatever she wants when it comes to this important matter of marriage."
"Yes, how can the son of a village chief be worthy of a princess." Yang Qingwan nodded.
Wang Xinyao thought for a moment and said, "Mother, Queen Mother, Brother Xiaogang is actually a kind and honest man, brave and resourceful. He is also from our village..."
Before Wang Xinyao could finish her words, Yang Qingwan snorted coldly, "The difference in status is obvious. What? Do you really want Wei'er to marry him?"
At this time, the palace maid came to report that Zhao Yuwei had arrived.
Zhao Yuwei rushed in and said directly, "Mother, Queen Mother, I will not marry anyone but Xie Xiaogang."
"How can you be so ignorant, kid?" Yang Qingwan stood up again in anger.
This guy named Xie Xiaogang really can't be married. She used to be such a well-behaved child, but now he dares to talk back to her because of him. How can this be tolerated?
Zhao Yuwei stamped her feet and said, "I don't care. He's the only one in my heart."
Seeing this, Wang Xinyao hurried forward, grabbed Zhao Yuwei's hand, and advised, "Your Highness, calm down first. Let's talk it over. Marriage is a big deal, so we should be cautious."
Zhao Yuwei shook her hand off and said angrily, "Sister-in-law, don't help the Queen Mother and the others. You and Xie Xiaogang are from the same village. He is such a good person. Sister-in-law should know that."
Queen Mother Luo Lan looked at the stalemate and said slowly, "Wei'er, don't be impatient. I also want to see what kind of person Xie Xiaogang is. How about this? Let him come into the palace and I will take a look for myself."
Zhao Yuwei's eyes lit up, and she immediately responded, "Okay, Queen Mother, you are wise. As long as you meet him, you will definitely agree to our marriage."
Although Yang Qingwan was reluctant, since the empress dowager had said so, she could not object anymore and could only snort coldly.
Wang Xinyao was a little worried, wondering what the situation would be like after Xie Xiaogang entered the palace.
But now that things have come to this, we can only wait until Xie Xiaogang enters the palace and see. Then the return to Xie Village will have to be postponed for another two days.
