Lian Ruyue said as she got up and entered the inner room.
Auntie Xiao had been walking on foot the entire way. When it was almost daybreak, she finally saw the large words' Xiao Residence '.
After walking for such a long distance, she was on the verge of collapsing. She held on to her last breath as she walked to the door and knocked. When she opened the door, she was startled when she saw the Xiao family's appearance.
"Lady, y-why did you come back at this time?" When the servant looked outside, there was no carriage, no carriage driver, not even a maid with him.
"I …" The feet of the Xiao Clan's people went soft and their vision went black as they fainted.
"My lord, my lord, my lady fainted …" The servant hastily shouted.
After the Xiao family woke up, two hours had passed. She was arranged to sleep in her room before marriage. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Zhenhai angrily standing beside her bed. She was startled and quickly got off the bed.
"Pah!" Xiao Zhenhai threw the letter that fell from Madam Xiao's body onto her body and asked, "What happened? Are you married and pregnant? Why was he sent off by a divorce letter! Why did Lian Yanqing want to divorce you? " Xiao Zhenhai was infuriated. His own little sister had married into the Prime Minister's Estate, but now she was being chased back. He didn't even have a carriage to escort her back. This was a slap to the face of the Xiao Estate.
"Because, because …" The Xiao Clan trembled in fear as they spoke.
"How shameful is it for a pregnant person to be sent home by Hugh. How are you going to meet people in the future? "I live in a house of my own, but my sister, who is sent home by her husband, where are you going to put my face?" Xiao Zhenhai angrily raised his hand and slapped Lady Xiao's face, "You kept saying you were assured that you would take the position of the Palace Mistress, but what about now? "It's actually been abandoned!"
"Big brother!" "I was thinking of how Xiao Shan's life was ruined by Ninth Prince and Lian Lianyue in such a miserable manner. As an aunt, I really couldn't take this lying down, so I wanted to vent my anger for Xiao Shan. Secretly letting Lian Meng Yue's maid and Lian Meng Xin's hand in keeping up with each other, I thought that we were done for. Lian Meng Yue's reputation will be ruined, and Lian Fu Yue will die from anger, which can be considered as venting his anger for Shan'er. Who would have thought, not only did I not make a move on these siblings, I, I … Lian Ru Yue is too strange. It seems like there is a ghost in her body. "
When Xiao Zhenhai heard that she had planned this out in order to avenge Xiao Shan, the anger in his heart lessened slightly.
"Let's not talk about you. The plan between the fourth prince and I was also broken this time. Even if we fall off the cliff, we won't die!" Xiao Zhenhai gritted his teeth as he spoke.
If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao He was accurate, he probably would have exposed their elite and dared to die.
"Big brother …" Lady Xiao secretly let out a breath of relief. She had already thought about it on the way back to the Xiao family. With the excuse that she wanted to avenge Xiao Shan, her brother's anger would lessen a bit.
Xiao Zhenhai looked at her and said, "You can stay here for now, but you are not allowed to take even half a step outside the door. Furthermore, you are not allowed to go out to meet guests. I don't want you to lose face outside!"
"Yes, big brother, little sister understands." Xiao Xianmin's face paled as she felt deeply humiliated.
The palace.
Just now, in the throne room, the emperor had rewarded Song Qingyang, the Ministry of Government, and Feng Yunzheng, the Ninth Prince, for their meritorious service to the nation.
He stopped him and said in a low voice, "Lian Xiang, this is too wicked. Xian Min was originally the direct daughter of the Xiao family, and was willing to be a concubine for you for so many years. Now that she is pregnant, you actually sent her away with a letter to rest. You should be sorry for her!"
Lian Yan Qing stopped and turned around. He glanced at Xiao Zhen Hai and said, "The Xiao family has repeatedly killed their son for their own benefit and did not hesitate to harm me. It was just a letter of rest."
"You! What about the child in the womb? You sent a person who was pregnant back to the Xiao family. Have you thought about the Xiao family's situation!? " Xiao Zhen Hai asked in a low voice.
"Currently, the Xiao family has nothing to do with me, and the Xiao family's situation isn't something I should be considering. If the Duke of Xiao isn't satisfied, then you can go find the empress dowager and ask the emperor for your justice, just like last time."
"…" Of course, Xiao Zhenhai couldn't go find the empress dowager and the emperor for the sake of his little sister. Furthermore, he had previously rendered meritorious services to the empress dowager and the emperor, and now that things were different, how could he bother the empress dowager with such a small matter?
"This prime minister will be leaving first. Duke Xiao, please take your leave as well." Lian Yan Qing's face was expressionless. He flicked his sleeves and left, not giving Xiao Zhen any sea water.
Xiao Zhenhai stood in front of the palace door, clenching his fists and frowning. He thought to himself that Xian Min was currently living in Xiao Guo Palace with a big belly.
Meng Hua Palace.
After Feng Yunzheng left the imperial court, he went to Senior Concubine Liang's place. He was injured when he fell off the cliff last time, so he had to wait for his injury to heal before he could come over. Senior Concubine Liang held his hand and looked at him carefully, saying:
"Zheng'er, mufei is extremely worried. It's inconvenient for her to go out to see you."
"Mufei, I've recovered already, it's not some serious injury, don't worry." Feng Yunzheng comforted his mufei.
"Who did it?" Imperial Concubine Liang asked in a low voice.
"Fourth royal brother, the Xiao family must be involved as well." As Feng Yunzheng spoke, his slightly narrowed eyes reflected a trace of coldness.
"Why didn't you report it to the Emperor?"
"I don't want to wear down royal father's trust in me, so before I have enough evidence to annihilate my opponent in one go, I don't want royal father to participate." Feng Yunzheng was well aware of the monarch's personality.
Imperial Concubine Liang nodded and said, "What you say is reasonable. It would be better to act when the other side is fully prepared. It's just that you have to be careful."
"The emperor has arrived …" As the two of them were talking, they heard the emperor's hearty laughter.
Imperial Concubine Liang hurriedly stood up, kneeling on the ground with Feng Yunzheng and respectfully welcoming him.
"Get up." After solving this great matter of the victims, the emperor was overjoyed. The cure for this disaster came from Feng Yunzheng, so he treated Imperial Concubine Liang even more amiably. "Imperial Consort, I will stay here for lunch today. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten with you and your son for a long time."
"Yes, chenqie will go instruct them right away." Imperial Concubine Liang bowed.
During lunch, the three of them ate at the same table. The emperor's mood was good and his appetite was good as well. He used two bowls in a row and occasionally chatted with Imperial Concubine Liang while Feng Yunzheng accompanied him to the side.
"That's right, it's time for Zheng'er to get married." At this moment, Zhou Chengdi suddenly asked.
"Father …" Feng Yunzheng's chopsticks slightly paused.
"Zheng'er, do you have anyone you like in your heart? Tell royal father that royal father will arrange for your marriage, and then arrange for a grand wedding for you." Zhou Cheng Emperor said with a smile.
