The eldest master was shaking with anger, and the elders were so frightened that their faces were frozen.
Xie Xianyu is the most outstanding child of the three generations of the Xie family. He has been placed with high hopes since he was young, not to mention that he now holds great power in the court and is deeply trusted by the emperor.
Even Prime Minister Xie Duqi was implicated in the downfall of Prince Jin and now has to stay out of the spotlight. Xie Xianyu is the only one of the Xie family who holds any importance in the court.
Without Xie Xianyu, where is the future of the Xie family?
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? Brother Xian, stop talking nonsense..."
Xie Xianyu's eyes turned cold. "It was you elders who were talking nonsense first."
The elders' faces turned pale and ugly, and they finally realized for the first time that this child who had grown up under their care was no longer able to be controlled.
"Do the elders have any objections to my marriage?"
The elders held their breath and dared not say another word.
Even the eldest lady didn't dare to speak again. She was afraid that Xie Xianyu would really leave the Xie family. She knew that he could do what he said!
Xie Xianyu then continued, "Since there are no objections, please come to the wedding banquet on the seventh day as scheduled."
"The seventh day?!" The eldest lady was dumbfounded. "Isn't there only five days left?!"
"Don't worry, mother. I've already personally taken care of the wedding preparations. I'll have Cuizhu come and explain the details to you later. Five days will be enough to decorate the mansion. I'll take care of the rest."
The eldest lady's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
After some "discussion", the marriage was officially decided.
The news that Xie Xianyu was going to marry Xu Wanruo spread like wildfire in Yanjing City.
Prince Xuan's Palace.
Chen Qinghan received the invitation from the Xie family and was surprised when he saw it: "Is she really a merchant girl?"
"Princess, you don't know that this Xu is the doctor of Jinshang Hall. She is a distant relative of the Xie family." Cai Lian said.
“It turned out to be her.”
Chen Qinghan chuckled and shook his head. "It's rumored that the eldest son of the Xie family is the most self-disciplined and respectful person, upright and self-possessed. It's rare for a generation of the Xie family to produce such a genius, but I never thought he could be so unconventional."
"What's so strange about this? It must be that woman's charm!" Concubine Zhuo said this in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
Chen Qinghan's smile faded a little: "There are so many seductive women, how many of them are worth a man risking his life for?"
Concubine Zhuo was stunned by these words. She thought she was quite favored in Prince Xuan's mansion and could even force the princess to give birth to a son out of wedlock.
But she never dared to ask King Xuan to do anything extraordinary for her, as that was absolutely impossible.
Chen Qinghan smiled, but suddenly his throat felt dry and he lowered his eyes.
How could they understand? The ability to risk it all was simply because they were truly moved.
She had once risked her life.
The room fell into silence, with everyone having different thoughts. No one noticed that Jiang Xuejun was sitting next to him. His face was extremely ugly, and he wanted to tear the handkerchief into pieces with his hands in his sleeves.
That bitch Xu Wanruo actually stepped on her to become Xie Xianyu's legal wife?!
It's ridiculous!
-
Five days passed quickly, and on the evening of the fifth day, a carriage drove out from the back door of Xie's house and arrived at the gate of Jinshang Hall.
Xie Xianyu personally sent Wanruo out. She had been locked up in Songhe Garden for a whole month. He said he would release her, and that was the night before their wedding.
The carriage stopped and Wanruo stood up to leave, but he suddenly grabbed her wrist and she fell back down.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." His voice was gentle, with a warning tone.
