Chapter 460 Min Yuexi Changes Her Surname
"Oh dear, let me see Princess Qi quickly. Once I see her, I'll know who's real and who's fake."
"I will take the old lady to see Princess Qi right away." Prince Qi greeted her with a stiff smile and welcomed her in. From now on, he would never dare to underestimate this old lady, Madam Min Qiao.
Just a day earlier, he was certain that the Xuanping Marquis's mansion was finished, and that Old Madam Min, whom Min Yuexi kept mentioning, would have absolutely no chance of turning things around.
Heaven knows how shocked and incredulous he was when he heard the news from the palace an hour earlier.
These days, the Emperor has privately discussed the Min clan with several Grand Secretaries.
Therefore, he also knew a little about the crimes of the Min clan and knew that the Min clan had no chance of turning the tide this time.
But Min Qiaoshi was able to survive in the cracks and turn the tide!
She not only persuaded her father to allow her to divorce the deceased Marquis Xuanping and break away from the Min family.
She even asked her father to allow her to establish her own residence and to bestow a plaque upon her by imperial decree.
The most astonishing thing is that the Emperor actually allowed Min Qiao to change her surname with her descendants!
That's absolutely outrageous!
No matter how outrageous the news is, the facts have proven that Min Qiaoshi is someone who cannot be judged by common sense.
Therefore, as long as Lady Min Qiao lives, Princess Min Yuexi will still be useful.
Therefore, upon learning of the news from the palace, he immediately summoned his confidants and devised a countermeasure.
That's why the servant blocked his way, and he personally came out to greet him and explain the whole thing to him.
However, Madam Min did not seem to be very impressed.
Fortunately, he still had a backup plan.
Soon, Li Chengrui personally led Min Qiaoshi to Min Yuexi's residence.
When they arrived, Min Yuexi, who had been given advance notice, was already waiting at the door.
"grandmother!"
Upon seeing Madam Min, Min Yuexi disregarded her image and rushed forward, throwing herself into Madam Min's arms.
Madam Min Qiao reached out and patted Min Yuexi on the back, frowning as she scolded, "Didn't you say you were pregnant and the pregnancy wasn't going well? Why were you so reckless?"
"I haven't seen my grandmother in so long, that's why I couldn't control my emotions." Min Yuexi released Min Qiaoshi and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Despite her remarkable composure in front of Li Chengrui, only heaven knows how anxious she was inside.
She knew her grandmother was powerful, but wasn't her powerful grandmother in her previous life ultimately killed by them working together?
Therefore, she was both afraid that Min Qiaoshi was not powerful enough and afraid that Min Qiaoshi would not take care of her.
Only when she saw Madam Min did she finally feel at ease.
The group entered the house and took their seats in turn.
The maidservant served tea and snacks, then withdrew.
Madam Min Qiao then asked Min Yuexi, "Are you alright? Since I returned to the capital, there have been rumors that something happened at the Xuanping Marquis's residence, that you have been confined by Prince Qi, and that you are likely to be abandoned by him and your life is in danger."
As soon as Min Qiaoshi opened her mouth, Li Chengrui's smile vanished.
This is blatantly tearing someone apart!
Fortunately, Min Yuexi quickly defused his embarrassment.
"Grandmother, don't listen to the nonsense those people outside are talking about."
Min Yuexi explained with a smile, "Your Highness is worried about the baby in my belly, which is why I stayed in the manor to rest and recuperate."
“Grandmother, as you know, Feixu poisoned me back then, which harmed my health.”
"Although Doctor Mu's skillful treatment brought it back to health, the foundation was still damaged in the end."
"That's why this pregnancy is somewhat problematic."
"The prince is doing this for my sake and the baby's sake. He doesn't want outsiders to disturb my pregnancy, so he doesn't allow outsiders to see me."
Li Chengrui quickly agreed with a smile, "That's right. I was worried about the Prince and the child, which is why I had no choice but to resort to this tactic. Who would have thought that the rumors outside would become more and more outrageous? Alas, I'm utterly helpless!"
Min Qiao nodded, indicating that she believed what the two said.
But then she turned to Li Chengrui and asked in a calm tone, "Since they are all rumors, when will Princess Qi be able to recover from her pregnancy and leave the palace?"
"I suppose the King of Qi knows that I will be establishing my own government in a few days."
"As the eldest granddaughter, Princess Qi should also go and support me."
Li Chengrui quickly smiled and said, "Judging by the days, the princess has been pregnant for three months. I will ask the imperial physician to come and check the princess's pulse in a little while. If there is no problem, she can go out at any time."
Min Yuexi smiled and said coquettishly, "Grandmother, you are so good to me!"
As she spoke, she rested her head on Min Qiao's shoulder, moved by the gesture.
Madam Min was happy to play along, affectionately putting her arm around Min Yuexi's shoulder and patting her gently, saying with a smile, "Your father is a scoundrel, and your mother is unreliable. What else can I do but spoil you more?"
Madam Min breathed a sigh of relief, still somewhat shaken, and said, "Luckily, those rumors were all false!"
"I just got back to the capital, and I was already overwhelmed with my own problems, including fainting and the Marquis's residence being besieged. I just had to listen to what happened to you."
"That really scared me to death!"
"I just came out of the palace and rushed to Prince Qi's residence to see you. Luckily you're alright!"
Min Yuexi hugged Min Qiaoshi, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grandmother!"
"Yes, I'm glad you're alright!"
The grandmother and grandson looked at each other with affection.
Li Chengrui looked at him with a smile and a gentle expression.
But in her heart she was thinking, "That old lady is no ordinary person. She doesn't even blush when she lies!"
What? She came to Prince Qi's mansion as soon as she left the palace? Before coming to Prince Qi's mansion, the old lady clearly went to Dali Temple first!
After a short while, the grandmother and grandmother finished their tender moment and then got down to business.
Min Qiao briefly recounted the crimes committed by the Min clan in earlier years, and also mentioned Min Rong's matricide.
"The Min family is completely finished. Your father will probably not survive this time either. Fortunately, His Majesty is merciful and, considering my meritorious service on the westward journey, has granted me a divorce and allowed me to leave the Min family. His Majesty has also agreed to let me take away any Min family descendants who are willing to change their surname to mine."
"I came here today to ask if you would be willing to change your surname to mine."
"Of course, it's okay if you don't want to."
"After all, you are a married-out woman, so the Min family's affairs have nothing to do with you."
Min Qiaoshi explained the pros and cons, and did not mean to force anyone.
But she knew that as long as Min Yuexi still wanted to please her, she would definitely agree to change her surname.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Min Yuexi said without hesitation, "I do! I'm willing to take my grandmother's surname, Qiao. Qiao Yuexi sounds much better than Min Yuexi!"
"Hehehe, I also think Qiao Yuexi sounds better!" Madam Min Qiao nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Once the plaque bestowed by His Majesty arrives, I will open a mansion, build an ancestral hall, and start a new family genealogy, and record your name in it!"
"Thank you, Grandmother!" Min Yuexi replied happily.
Li Chengrui, standing to the side, had a complex expression.
Can a surname be changed so easily?
This is a betrayal of one's ancestors and a betrayal of one's lineage; it's something that will make one's back be condemned by the whole world!
Why is it as simple as eating and drinking in the eyes of this grandmother and grandson?
At this moment, Li Chengrui suddenly had some doubts about whether keeping such a Qi Princess who was destined to have no reputation was a good thing or a bad thing!
