Chapter 451 She Can't Be a Princess
When Liu Se left the palace and said he was going to be the emperor's secret guard, he only left behind a short letter, and the words were as resolute as Hu Xin'er's.
Later, when Liu Se got into trouble, Old Master Liu painstakingly chose a husband for her, risking the wrath of the world, so that she could appear in public again as a wife.
Just to let my daughter live a happy life and give my granddaughter a status.
But that person died young due to his poor fortune, and Liu Se, who was upset, left the capital with Hu Xiner in her arms.
When she came back, Hu Xiner was no longer in her arms.
It was also from then on that Liu Se's personality became more extreme.
The blood-red setting sun that day became an eternal pain in Old Master Liu's heart.
Therefore, he would never let this pain happen again.
"Have you met Liu Se?" He said this almost in a certain tone.
Hu Xin'er pursed her lips and did not deny it: "It's not important."
Old Master Liu tried to find a trace of regret or attachment on his face, but failed, so he said to himself: "You hate her so much, it seems that she must have told you everything."
"I don't have any feelings for her." Seeing that he seemed to still want to keep her, Hu Xiner took a few steps forward and looked straight into his eyes and said.
She hoped that the old man could read the rejection from her eyes.
But how could Old Master Liu be willing to believe her words? He felt that Hu Xin'er must be trying hard not to show her inner vulnerability.
He suddenly grabbed her sleeve and tried to persuade her: "Xin'er, I know you hate Liu Se and the Liu family. You think this place gave you an ignominious life experience. This place is so dirty. But your mother didn't abandon you on purpose!"
He wanted to talk about Liu Se's difficulties, how innocent and naive Liu Se was to be deceived by the emperor, and how difficult it was for him to support the Liu family for many years.
But Hu Xiner interrupted him.
She had heard too many stories these days.
"If you want me to pity Liu Se, then forget it. Everyone has his or her own difficulties, but no one's difficulties are more noble than others." Hu Xiner looked at him and said.
She thought that if she were the original owner, she would probably be forced to bear the bondage of family ties.
Fortunately, she is not, she can be a bad person.
Old Master Liu was heartbroken: "She is your biological mother, how could you say that to her?"
"Besides giving me life, what else has she given me? Where was she when I was beaten day and night? Where was she when I was falsely accused of adultery and drowned?" Hu Xiner curled her lips, thinking that her life was saved by Mu Qing and the others.
And the original owner, the daughter who was truly abandoned by Liu Se, had already been tortured to death!
Is Liu Se suffering? Of course, she just made a mistake in her youth, and paid the price for the rest of her life. In the end, she went from being a famous and talented woman in the capital to the half-crazy, half-mad, and hideous and twisted appearance she is now.
But to ask Hu Xin'er to be her daughter, to atone for her sins and lead her back to the right path... Go away. Not to mention Hu Xin'er who is now a time traveler, even the original owner would not need to go to this extent.
Because she is also a victim!
Liu Se enjoyed honor for half his life, and everything he got was the price he deserved for his actions.
But what about the original owner? What had she done wrong? Why was she abandoned by her own mother? Wasn't Liu Se the cause of all the pain she'd endured over the past decade?
Liu Se is pitiful, but not worthy of forgiveness.
Hu Xin'er is not a saint. She will not give up her family, career, happiness or even her life to save others just because they pity her.
Old Master Liu's eyes softened. "Xin'er, Grandfather knows you have resentment in your heart, but how can family ties be severed with just a few words?"
"Sign it." Hu Xin'er felt quite tired when she saw that she couldn't convince him. "I'm not the granddaughter of your Liu family at all!"
"I won't sign!" Old Master Liu spoke intermittently while coughing.
Hu Xin'er pulled out the blank imperial edict from her bosom: "Then I can only order you to sever ties with me!"
Looking at the imperial edict, Old Master Liu's eyes widened, revealing a look of sudden realization: "So you not only met Liu Se, but also His Majesty? You want to follow His Majesty and enjoy the honor of a princess, so you want to sever ties with the Liu family, right?"
He was a man of deep thoughts, his mind full of interests, and it was impossible for him to believe that Hu Xiner simply wanted to leave the Liu family.
After all, the Liu family is powerful, and smart people know what to choose.
In order to make him give up as soon as possible, Hu Xin'er simply didn't deny it: "Since you already know, why are you still hesitating?"
There was a hint of anger in Old Master Liu's eyes: "Are you really going to be so heartless?"
"Liu Se plotted to murder an important official of the imperial court. Logically, he should have been executed long ago. The Liu family should also be convicted for harboring the criminal. As long as I expose this matter, even if you use your connections to avoid punishment, the Liu family's reputation will be ruined."
Hu Xiner said frankly that she had long anticipated the difficulties of severing the relationship, so she took double preparations.
Since Old Master Liu doesn't respond to soft tactics, we have no choice but to use force.
"Xin'er, we are all your relatives and share the same blood. How could you do such a cruel thing?" Old Master Liu's voice was hoarse and filled with deep sadness.
At this moment, a shrill scream came from the bedside: "What? Hu Xin'er is a princess?!"
It was the voice of Liu Qingyi.
She stared intently at the blank imperial edict in Hu Xin'er's hand and said in a slightly panicked tone, "Grandfather, don't believe what this woman says. She has a very deep mind. This imperial edict must be fake."
"Shut up!" Hearing her voice, Old Master Liu's anger surged in his heart and he couldn't help but shout.
Liu Zhi fanned the flames: "Dad, it seems Xin'er has become a phoenix. Our family is of no use to Xin'er at all. She doesn't even pay attention to us. Look, she is so cruel and reckless. Is she planning to destroy our entire Liu family in the future?"
Liu Qingyi was not so calm.
Her mind was full of the word "princess".
If Hu Xin'er was a princess, then what was she? Wouldn't she always be inferior to Hu Xin'er, and even have to bow to her when she saw her on a daily basis?
Moreover, when their eldest wife was dealing with Hu Xiner before, they had used all kinds of tricks and had offended her completely. How could they repair the relationship now?
If Hu Xiner gains power, she will definitely not let her go.
The more Liu Qingyi thought about it, the more frightened she became. She couldn't help but yell, "Impossible! She can't possibly be a princess! She's a liar!"
At this time, Old Master Liu was getting a headache from the noise, and he couldn't help but say in a vicissitudes of life: "Xin'er, she is indeed your Majesty's child..."
