Chapter 221 Selfish?

Selfish?

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingran burst out laughing, crossed her arms, and looked at Xie Hanyue with a curious expression: "My husband and I stand together through thick and thin, what does it have to do with you? Even if I were to implicate the Xie family, it wouldn't concern you, would it? You're not a child of the Xie family, are you?"

"You!" Xie Hanyue looked at Xie Qingran in disbelief: "I am..."

"What are you? The Sixth Prince is now Prince Jin, and what about you? What are you?"

"The Imperial Concubine is dead. Who can prove your lineage? His Majesty doesn't acknowledge you, so you are nothing!"

Xie Qingran showed no mercy and gave Xie Hanyue a taste of her power.

Do you really think you're some kind of precious princess?

She is now a disgrace to the royal family. If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Concubine is dead, she certainly wouldn't be alive now.

Upon hearing this, Xie Hanyue felt her face burning with embarrassment. She immediately turned to Xie Zhaoye and said aggrievedly, "Brother, look at my sister. She's so aggressive. I was only doing this for my sister and for the good of the Xie family."

"Don't worry about her. She won't listen to you anyway." Xie Zhaoye sighed helplessly and rubbed his temples. "Just mind your own business. Why are you always worrying about her?"

Xie Zhaoye had never thought about this issue before, but now he suddenly realized that it seemed to be Xie Hanyue who was provoking Xie Qingran every time, while Xie Qingran had never provoked Xie Hanyue in any way, and even avoided her at all costs.

"Enough! I'm not dead yet! How long are you going to keep this up?"

"Xie Hanyue, you weren't born of me, so don't waste your breath talking to me here. Get lost."

Wang looked at Xie Hanyue with disdain. In the past, she could endure it for the sake of her child and her reputation, but now that they were divorced, Wang naturally didn't need to worry about these messy matters and could say whatever she wanted.

Xie Hanyue never dreamed that one day, Madam Wang would speak to her like that.

She looked at Wang Shi in disbelief, tears streaming down her face: "Mother, for so many years, I have always regarded you as my own mother. You have always been very good to me. Is it because of my unknown origins that you look down on me? Why?"

"roll."

Wang grabbed a medicine bowl from the side and smashed it hard at Xie Hanyue.

Lu Jinzhi reacted quickly, grabbed Xie Hanyue's arm, pulled her into his arms, and then glared fiercely at Xie Qingran: "Fine, since you're so ungrateful, then don't come begging to me on your knees in the future!"

"roll."

When Xie Qingran got angry, her expression was exactly the same as Wang's; it was obvious at a glance that the two were mother and daughter.

"Never mind, Brother Jinzhi, let's go first."

"Mother, one day you will understand that Yue'er's respect and filial piety towards you all these years have come from the bottom of her heart."

After saying this, Xie Hanyue wiped away her tears and left crying.

"vomit!"

Wang was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood, pointed in the direction Xie Hanyue had left, and then fainted.

"Mother!"

Xie Zhaoye turned pale with fright and rushed to Wang's side.

"Summon the imperial physician!"

"Baozhu, take my visiting card and summon the imperial physician!"

Xie Qingran immediately spoke up and handed her name card to Baozhu.

Physician Wang arrived quickly, and after carefully taking her pulse, he shook his head: "Prepare for the worst. Her heart and pulse are severely damaged; she won't be coming back."

"mother!"

Xie Zhaoye knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

Xie Qingran felt a little uncomfortable, but she still nodded and politely saw Physician Wang off.

She turned back and looked at Xie Zhaoye crying like a child, feeling somewhat disgusted, and said coldly, "You're not dead yet, why are you crying?"

"You... Xie Qingran, what is your heart made of? Your mother is dying, and you still say such things!"

Xie Zhaoye was furious. He stood up and frowned at Xie Qingran.

"Does crying help?"

Xie Qingran looked at him with disgust.

"Tell this to your maternal uncles right away."

"Let the uncles come over and see Mother."

Xie Qingran knew that the Wang family had always doted on Wang Shi, so now was the time to tell them about it.

Sure enough, Wang's uncles arrived soon after. Wang also experienced a brief moment of lucidity before death. When she saw her brother and sister-in-law coming to see her, she cried like a child.

She gripped her uncle's hand tightly, choking back tears as she said, "Brother, big brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I was disobedient. I shouldn't have married Xie Yankang. He's not a good man. My life has been worthless!"

"Big brother, I only have these two children left. Please take care of them, please look after my children for me!" As Wang spoke, her eyes turned towards Xie Qingran, and tears fell. "I'm so sorry to Qingran, I owe her for the rest of my life. Big brother, please take good care of my only daughter, I beg you!"

Seeing his sister like this, Uncle Wang felt as if his heart was being torn apart: "That bastard Xie Yankang, is he dead? Why hasn't he come yet?"

“My mother doesn’t want to see him.”

Xie Qingran stepped forward, her eyes red as she looked at Wang Shi.

"Mother, I will live a good life, and I will live better than anyone else."

"As for my brother, don't worry, he won't die."

Even now, Xie Qingran doesn't have a pleasant expression when Xie Zhaoye is mentioned.

Seeing Xie Qingran like this, Xie Zhaoye also stepped forward and knelt in front of Wang Shi, holding her hand tightly: "Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister. I will never let her suffer again. Although she doesn't like me as her brother, I am willing to do so for your sake!"

"Who needs your care? Just mind your own business."

Xie Qingran rolled her eyes at Xie Zhaoye.

Then, she took out a hairpin and whispered, "Mother, I know this is a treasure that your grandmother gave you when you came of age. I brought it for you specially. Let it stay with you, just like your grandmother is still by your side, okay?"

"I'm sorry, Qingran, I'm so sorry." Madam Wang gripped Xie Qingran's hand tightly. "Qingran, Mother is leaving. Don't worry, Mother isn't in pain. Mother will be watching over you from heaven. Mother will always be watching over you!"

After she finished speaking, Wang's hand suddenly loosened and fell to her side.

The room was filled with sobbing, and Xie Qingran felt a void in her heart. When she came to her senses, her face was cold and covered in tears.

She took a deep breath, forcefully wiped away her tears, then took two steps back, knelt on the ground, and performed a proper salute!
