Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 182

The next morning, Xie Wanqing got up to wash her hands. She knew that today was very important to her. When the imperial decree arrived at Xie's house, all the future would be changed accordingly!

Xie Wanqing waited silently with some excitement!

Finally the news came that the imperial decree was coming to Xie's residence, Xie Wanqing took Su Wen and Lingshu to the front yard.

Xie Zian was waiting for her there, nodding silently to her, comforting her with his eyes.

Xie Wanqing smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Soon the person delivering the decree arrived at the gate of Xie's mansion, Mrs. Xie and Xie Chongguang also came in a hurry after getting the news.

Xie Chongguang asked in surprise, "What happened?"

"The emperor decreed that Wan'er and the crown prince are allowed to divorce!" Xie Zi'an said calmly.

Mrs. Xie and Xie Chongguang were speechless when they heard this, and for a moment they didn't know how to react.

"What's going on here?" Mrs. Xie's crutch made a powerful knocking sound on the ground.

Xie Chongguang looked at the injury on Xie Wanqing's head, and asked, "Why did you go to the East Palace and get divorced?"

"Father, we proposed the divorce on our own initiative!" Xie Zi'an replied in Xie Wanqing's place.

Xie Chongguang squinted his eyes, revealing a deep chill in his eyes, but before he had time to do anything, the messenger had already arrived.

"The imperial decree has arrived!" the eunuch who delivered the decree shouted in an extremely thin voice.

The Xie family knelt on the ground, and Xie Chongguang said helplessly: "I accept the order!"

The imperial decree said a lot of miscellaneous things, and everyone in the Xie family felt that their minds were buzzing, but they could only hear the last words clearly.

"After careful consideration, I have decided to cancel the marriage between the crown prince and Xie Wanqing, the eldest daughter of the Xie family. From now on, the marriage between a man and a woman will have nothing to do with each other. I respect this!"

The eunuch handed over the imperial decree to Chongguang, and said: "Thank you, sir, don't you still want to thank you?"

"Thank you Lord Long En, long live, long live, long live!" Xie Chongguang's voice was distinctly trembling.

The eunuch smiled and said: "Miss Xie's family is very good. The emperor told me that Prime Minister Xie must choose a good marriage for Miss Xie. It's just that in this world, I don't know who can get into the eyes of Miss Xie. After all...even the prince I have won Miss Xie's heart!"

Xie Chongguang was trembling with anger, but he didn't dare to get angry in front of this father-in-law, so he smiled and wiped his cold sweat and said: "My minister is panicked, please explain to the emperor that I, Xie Chongguang, has no way to teach my daughter, and I will definitely do it myself." Go and plead guilty to the emperor!"

"Where is the crime of the Xie family? The imperial decree clearly states that the crown prince is stupid. Where is the fault of Miss Xie? Alright... the story of our family is over, let's do it yourself!"

After saying these inappropriate words, the father-in-law who passed the decree led the team and left again, without any intention of staying to gossip.

Xie Chongguang didn't dare to stay, because he only had one thought at the moment, and that was how to punish Xie Wanqing, so that the emperor and the prince could calm down!
Xie Chongguang turned around, his fists clenched tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably, Mrs. Xie could only stand still if she was supported by others.

"Master Xiang, look at the good daughter you gave birth to, but it has caused the Xie family to suffer, and I don't know how the emperor should be furious. The wealth you have so hard to get, I'm afraid it will become a passing cloud, my God... What crime did my Xie family do to suffer such a calamity?"

Mrs. Xie cried out beating her chest and stomping her feet, forgetting the dignified image she had always maintained.

Xie Wanqing stood on the spot, bowed her head in silence, she had already made all the mental preparations, so she would not be frightened by the situation in front of her.

Xie Zian went over to support Mrs. Xie, and said, "Grandmother, this matter is not what you think, let grandson explain to you slowly!"

"Explain, what else to explain? The imperial decree of retiring the engagement has been issued, and the emperor is clearly very angry. How will you let Xie's family gain a foothold in Beijing in the future, and how will your father face Tongliao, the Holy Majesty and the crown prince in the court?"

Mrs. Xie was in tears, and asked furiously, then stared at Xie Wanqing fiercely.

All of this is thanks to her, the good marriage and future have been ruined by her, and the entire Xie family will be affected!

Seeing that Mrs. Xie was too emotional, Xie Zian hurriedly said: "Grandmother, calm down, there is nothing wrong with this incident, the prince is at fault, you don't know..."

"Shut up, Zian, if you say another word for him, grandma won't even care about you!"

Mrs. Xie was so angry that she didn't want to hear anything. She just wanted to vent her anger fiercely at this moment.

Xie Chongguang narrowed his eyes, and finally said: "Since you don't want to marry the prince, then no one needs to marry again, come and send the eldest lady to the family temple, and allow her to lead her hair to practice, so you don't have to come back to the capital again in this life! "

"Father!" Xie Zi'an looked at Xie Chongguang in shock. He didn't expect that Xie Chongguang would not give him any chance to explain, so he made a decision.

Xie Chongguang said coldly: "If you are dissatisfied, you can leave the capital with her. The Xie family does not need descendants like you, and I, Xie Chongguang, do not have children like you!"

Mrs. Xie took a look at Xie Chongguang and said, "Zi'an is the eldest son and grandson of the Xie family, there is no need to leave with her!"

"No one is allowed to rush Wan'er away. She did nothing wrong. Yesterday she listened to her father and went to the East Palace to ask the prince for peace, but the prince smashed her head and locked her in the firewood room. Wan'er is still sick, why can't you listen to our explanation and insist on punishing Wan'er?"

Xie Zi'an finally yelled out, he was so angry and disappointed, they were all relatives, why did he press so hard?
Xie Wanqing looked at Xie Zi'an, smiled and shook her head at him, never showing any signs of sadness or fear.

Xie Zi'an walked towards Xie Wanqing, took her hand, and said, "Sister, I will not let you become an aunt in the family temple!"

"Zian, are you really going to mess around?" Mrs. Xie scolded.

"Grandmother, I'm not messing around. I'm just doing what a brother should do. Wan'er didn't make a mistake and shouldn't be punished!" Xie Zian straightened his body without showing any sign of flinching, and stood firmly by Xie Wanqing's side.

Xie Chongguang said: "I said, if you are dissatisfied, you can leave with her. I, Xie Chongguang, will pretend that you have never been born. If you don't go to the family temple, you will also leave Xie's house!"

"Is my father planning to break away from my father-daughter relationship and drive me out of the house?" Xie Wanqing asked calmly, looking at Xie Chongguang calmly.

Xie Chongguang gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think you still have the face to stay at home? Have the face to face the world? You have no face, I have face, and the Xie family have face!"

"Dare to ask my father, what shameless thing did I do? Xie Siru had an affair with someone before marriage, and her innocence and uncleanness made her face. My father defended her in every possible way and ran around for her. Why did I become shameless when I was bullied? Are you going to be kicked out of the house?"

Xie Wanqing didn't cry, but quietly expressed her doubts, her eyes were dim and indifferent.

Xie Chongguang's angry face suddenly turned blank, and then he became even more embarrassed and angry, and shouted: "Are you blaming me? I asked you to seek peace and settle this matter, but you angered the prince and broke into If you cause a catastrophe, even to the point of retiring the engagement, do you know what consequences will it bring to the Xie family if you resign the engagement with the crown prince? What kind of infamy will you yourself suffer?"

"The prince is tyrannical and wantonly bullying. My father thinks that if I marry him, what kind of life will I live in the future? Does my father also hope that I will die early like my mother?" Xie Wanqing asked.

"Bastard!" Xie Chongguang rushed over, raised his hand high, and wanted to fight, but was stopped by Xie Zian.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to wake up this wicked girl today!" Xie Chongguang pushed Xie Zi'an away.

Xie Zi'an stubbornly stood back again, protecting Xie Wanqing behind him, and said: "Father, I will not let you beat Wan'er, she has already been seriously injured and cannot withstand your beating!"

"I was injured, so why don't you die? If you die, it will be over. If you die, you don't have to divorce the marriage. You won't make the Xie family a laughing stock, and you won't let the emperor anger the Xie family. It's good that she died!"

Xie Chongguang's eyes were already red with anger at this moment, and he really wished that Xie Wanqing would die, so that all problems would be solved easily.

But the imperial decree has been issued, and soon the whole capital will know that the Xie family has offended the crown prince and the emperor, Xie Wanqing has been divorced, and he, the prime minister, will soon lose his sacred heart and become the target of oppression.

Those political enemies will spare no effort to use this opportunity to step on him and replace him with his out of phase.

After years of hard work, Han Chuang has studied hard for ten years, and worked hard for many years to get to where he is today, but... it will be a waste of time.

This tells him how not to be heartbroken, how not to be angry, how to make Xie Wanqing feel better?
Xie Wanqing said: "I know what father is worried about, but there is no need, the emperor will not take off your black gauze hat, you can still sit tight!"

"You bastard, are you naive or stupid? If you anger the emperor, can it still be good? Even if the emperor is clearly wrong with the Xie family, but if you lose your Sacred Heart and lose your official position, will it be far away?"

How could Xie Chongguang believe Xie Wanqing's words, he was already full of panic at the moment, he didn't know when the emperor would attack him.

Xie Wanqing shook her head and said: "No, father doesn't believe it, you can wait and see, not only will the emperor not suppress you, but he will use it even more, and even reward you!"

"Are you kidding me?" Xie Chongguang didn't believe it at all.

Xie Wanqing smiled and said: "Father has been an official for many years, but he still can't figure out the Sacred Heart. Why did the emperor marry me to the crown prince?"

"This..." Xie Chongguang thought for a while, naturally it was because he wanted to win over the Cui family and appease the Cui family.

Xie Wanqing said: "Father won't know the real reason. Now that the prince and I have divorced, if the emperor suppresses Xie's family and you, what will happen? Is it against the emperor's original intention?"

"But...you insist on retiring the engagement, and the prince's reputation has been ruined because of you. How can the emperor not be angry and not blame the Xie family?" Xie Chongguang was still puzzled.

Xie Wanqing said: "The emperor is angry, angry, but he will not blame you and the Xie family, only the Cui family, because this marriage was demanded by my grandmother!"

"What?" Xie Chongguang asked in surprise. He thought it was Xie Wanqing who caused the trouble, but he didn't expect it to be Mrs. Cui's meaning.
