Mrs. Liu widened her eyes, unable to believe what she heard, and slammed the table in anger.

A sharp voice said, "What did you say?!"

Xu Jinyi continued, word for word clearly: "I said it was your son who couldn't have children. I've seen many doctors, but they never said there was anything wrong with me. It's you who kept forcing me to take some prescription that would make me pregnant."

"If I have no problem, then who has the problem? Isn't it self-evident?"

Madam Liu's chest heaved with anger: "You're rebelling, Xu Jinyi, are you trying to rebel?"

"I just don't believe that I can't cure you today. Believe it or not, I will let Yan'er divorce you."

Xu Jinyi sneered: "I wish I could. Give me the divorce papers now, and I'll leave immediately. I won't stay any longer."

"Divorce, are you dreaming? A divorce letter is enough for you."

At this time, Liu Yan strode in and said, "Mom, what's the point of divorce? I will not separate from Yi'er."

When Madam Liu saw her son standing in front of Xu Jinyi, she burst into tears: "You vixen, vixen! It's such a misfortune for our family! How could we marry a vixen like you?"

Liu Yan frowned and looked at his mother with an embarrassed expression.

Xu Jinyi shook off Liu Yan's hand in disgust: "Did you hear that? Since your mother doesn't like me so much, just let me go."

"Yier, don't say those angry words. Mom is just anxious to have a grandchild, so she's not nice to you."

In the past two years, Liu Yan was actually aware of the changes in her mother's mentality. As time went by, they still had no children.

The mother's attitude towards Xu Jinyi became increasingly cold, until now she felt disgusted with him.

Xu Jinyi sneered, "Liu Yan, has your mother been treating me like this for just one or two days? She's about to scold me in front of me like a hen that doesn't lay eggs. And you still want me to be patient?"

"Is it just my fault that I can't have children?"

"I will try to persuade my mother. Yi'er, go back first and we'll talk later."

"Yan'er, why are you still keeping this woman? Since she's willing to leave, just give her a letter of divorce."

"Isn't she capable? I want to see what kind of good man she can marry after being divorced and sent home."

"The princess is younger than her and can help you in your career, so why are you still keeping her?"

Mrs. Liu was really angry today. In the past few years, Xu Jinyi was extremely filial to Mrs. Liu because she loved this scumbag.

I have never talked back, and I have never been as presumptuous as I am today.

So at this moment, Madam Liu really couldn't tolerate Xu Jinyi at all.

The look he gave Xu Jinyi was cold and sharp.

"Mom, please stop making trouble." Liu Yan's tone was filled with impatience and fatigue.

"I'm causing trouble?!"

Madam Liu's voice became sharp and shrill, and her expression became increasingly gloomy.

"I think you've been blinded by this vixen. In the past few years, I've asked you to take a concubine, but you refused. I've also asked you to take in a few concubines, but you refused."

"Mom is old. Do you think she has to die before you are willing to have children for the Liu family?"

Looking at her elderly mother, Liu Yan also slowed down her tone.

"Mom, I will have a good talk with Yi'er. It's late, let's go back first."

"What's the point of communicating? It's been half a year. If she was willing to make concessions, she would have done so long ago." Madam Liu was unwilling to give up this opportunity. If she couldn't make a conclusion today, who knew if the princess would still wait for her son.

"Today, you must make a choice between me and this woman."

Liu Yan stopped and stared at his mother who asked him to make a decision, and thought of the argument between the Xu family father and son in the court today.

There are also the words that the princess said in the peach garden in the suburbs after the court session.

All of this was beating on his heart.

Looking at Xu Jinyi, Liu Yan's eyes were complicated, with a hint of pity flashing across them.

"Yier, I promise that your status will not change after I marry the princess. Can you please bear with me for a moment?"

Liu Yan's expression was full of affection, but Xu Jinyi would not be fooled.

"Liu Yan, you can let me be your concubine for a higher position, will he sacrifice me again for power in the future?"

Xu Jinyi smiled bitterly and raised his hand to stop Liu Yan from saying anything.

"I don't believe that you won't give up your higher position for me now, nor will you give up your rights for me in the future."

"Are you really not going to let me leave? Then don't you want the position of Prime Minister anymore?"

"Do you dare to say that you have never resented me for not being able to bear you a child? Have you never resented me for not wanting to give in and blocking your way forward?"

"You're still so sharp. I admit that I hated you before. I hated you for not compromising for me. I clearly promised you that except for our status, nothing else would change."

"But no one is perfect. Who can be perfect without any complaints?"

"Besides, you also know that the position of Prime Minister is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. How can I not be moved by you?"

"I studied so hard for over a decade, wasn't it just to bring honor to my family and make my descendants proud of me?"

"The bait is right in front of me. If I marry the princess, I can get that position and even have a child. All my life's wishes will come true."

"If you really can't accept it, we can wait for the princess to give birth to the child. After I take the position, I will kill the mother and keep the child."

Xu Jinyi's eyes widened, as if it was the first day she met the man in front of her. She didn't expect that he could come up with such a vicious idea.

Liu Yan raised her hand to cover her clear eyes: "Don't look at me like that, I'm afraid I can't bear your eyes like this."

"Yier, I'm willing to do anything for you, so please don't leave me, okay?"

Wasn't Liu Yan like this in her previous life, making Xu Jinyi willing to be his concubine?

In the end, what happened to her?

What do people outside say? They say she has fallen into depravity and is willing to be a concubine.

Because of her decision, her family couldn't even raise their heads when they went out.

What next?

The man kept saying that nothing would change after the princess came in.

Later, whenever the princess made things difficult for her, what did he do?

Every time he stood on the princess's side, scolded her, and punished her, and only came to please her afterwards and coax her with sweet words.

He said he had to give the princess face, so even if he knew that the princess was deliberately picking on her, he couldn't defend her in front of outsiders.

And be considerate of him.

The servants of wealthy families are very good at reading people's expressions and acting accordingly. After seeing the princess enter the house, they all realized that Xu Jinyi had completely fallen out of favor, and even the servants could bully her from then on.

In the end, she could only rely on embroidering handkerchiefs to exchange for money to make a living.

Even so, it is not the worst.

Her family was accused of treason and the entire family was beheaded.

Liu Yan was afraid of being implicated and wanted to sell her out.

The original owner was extremely sad and hated himself for trusting others, so he hit his head and died in this Liu Mansion.
