Chapter 239 Decision

Xie Wanruo's words and eyes shocked Prime Minister Xie.

After a long silence to confirm that Xie Wanruo was serious, Prime Minister Xie said solemnly: "It is difficult to fight against, let alone destroy."

Although he was in a high position and had a certain influence in the court, it was far from enough to destroy the Cao family.

Xie Wanruo said: "It is indeed not easy to rely on the Xie family alone, but we can cooperate with others."

In addition to the Xie family, the Cao family also has powerful enemies.

As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Yu Zheng must be extremely annoyed with the Cao family in this matter, so why don't they join forces.

Prime Minister Xie, who was at the top of the court, instantly understood what Xie Wanruo meant and was shocked.

He didn't expect Xie Wanruo to have such a bold idea.

"This... If we join hands with Prince Jing to overthrow the Cao family, Prince Jing will become more powerful in the future, which is very disadvantageous to Your Highness." Prime Minister Xie was shocked and terrified.

It is not a good strategy to drain the pond to catch fish or to quench thirst with poison.

Prime Minister Xie was worried: "And if Your Highness knew that we would join hands with Prince Jing to deal with the Cao family, I am afraid he would not agree, after all, it is his mother's family."

If the Cao family is overthrown, the queen will not have a good end. With Yu Cheng's benevolence and filial piety, he will not ignore the relationship between mother and son.

Being too kind is indecisive and often constrained.

"So he can't know." Xie Wanruo's eyes were firm and her words were crisp.

Prime Minister Xie frowned: "The truth will come out eventually. He will know the day when the Cao family is defeated. He will definitely resent you and separate you and your wife."

Xie Wanruo's eyes suddenly turned cold: "So what? The Cao family can't accommodate the Xie family, and he can't protect us mother and son. Doesn't he allow us to resist?"

"You can't fight back when you are bullied? There is no such reason in the world."

"How to repay kindness with evil?"

Xie Wanruo didn't ask Yu Haolin in front of Yu Cheng, because she knew that Yu Cheng knew the truth, but it was just a big thunder and little rain. Although she hated Cao Muxue in her heart, she would not do anything to her seriously because of the Queen and the family relationship.

She didn't want this kind of protection that seemed to be partiality but was actually meaningless.

Looking at Xie Wanruo's face full of hatred and determination, Prime Minister Xie felt distressed and finally asked: "Have you ever thought that without the Cao family, Your Highness might not be able to ascend to a high position."

This is the biggest concern of Prime Minister Xie.

Xie Wanruo snorted coldly and said indifferently: "Even if he ascends to a high position with the help of the Cao family, what does it matter? Will you regret being a puppet and holding the tablets of our mother and son?"

She couldn't bear such deep love.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Wanruo said again: "Your Highness is upright, and Prince Jing is also wise. If you have to choose one of the two, Prince Jing is more tolerant than the Cao family."

Prime Minister Xie was shocked when he heard it. He didn't expect Xie Wanruo to see so clearly and have such a big picture.

If she were a man, she would definitely have a place in the court and make a great contribution. It's a pity that a girl is trapped in this deep palace and wastes her time.

After thinking for a long time, Prime Minister Xie said: "You are right. I will discuss it with your elder brother after returning. Since we have to join forces, we must hit the target with one blow and make the Cao family unable to turn the tide."

She, a girl, can have such foresight and wisdom, so how can they, as fathers and brothers, disappoint her?

There is no easy way out, so just burn your boats and get a glimmer of hope.

"Thank you, father and elder brother." Xie Wanruo sincerely thanked.

Although she has great ambitions, she is trapped in this harem and can do nothing. She can only rely on her father and brother.

"Family shares honor and disgrace, no need to thank you, just take good care of yourself." Prime Minister Xie patted Xie Wanruo's hand and gave her a serious exhortation.

This is his daughter whom he cherished and raised with great care and expectation. Now she is being bullied like this, and he is heartbroken. However,

a woman should obey her husband after marriage, and she married the prince, so he was powerless in many things.

Before leaving, Prime Minister Xie asked hesitantly: "Do you regret entering the palace?"

When Xie Wanruo was blinded by love and wanted to enter the East Palace as a concubine, her whole family opposed it, but she insisted on her own way and was unwavering.

Now, does she regret it?

Suddenly hearing her father's question, Xie Wanruo was stunned. After thinking for a moment, she said, "There is only tomorrow ahead, no yesterday. Life is only ahead, no regrets."

"If I don't enter the palace, I will marry into other wealthy families, and I will have to face mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, concubines, and inner house struggles. How is it different from now?"

This world is unfair. The path for women is too narrow. No matter which choice you make, it's the same.

Since it's the same, why not choose the one you love, the one you respect?

Prime Minister Xie was speechless for a moment. He looked at the weak Xie Wanruo on the bed with a calm look, and said after a little tilt, "You are right."

The world is like this, and it doesn't make much difference where you are.

After Prime Minister Xie left, Xie Wanruo lay on the bed, staring at the top of the tent in a daze.

Yu Cheng walked into the room and sat down beside the bed. He grabbed her hand and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Xie Wanruo looked at him sideways and smiled softly, "I'm thinking about the lotus flowers in Mochou Lake in South City."

Yu Cheng was stunned when he heard that.

Mochou Lake in South City is the place where they fell in love.

Thirteen years ago, Yu Cheng went to Mochou Lake for a trip and accidentally saw Xie Wanruo leaning over to pick lotus flowers. The moment she looked

back and smiled, Yu Cheng was struck by how beautiful she was. It was love at first sight.

Later, they fell in love with each other and went to Mochou Lake together to fall in love.

That time was the best memory of their lives. There

was no fighting, no consideration, no family interests, only two hearts that were just beginning to fall in love.

Yu Cheng's heart was touched, and he held Xie Wanruo's hand tightly and said, "Spring will come soon. When you get well, we will go to Mochou Lake to enjoy the lotus."

"Okay." Xie Wanruo responded gently, holding Yu Cheng's hand and resting it on her cheek, clinging to him.

Yu Cheng looked at her pale, fragile, yet charming appearance, and his heart was soft, distressed and guilty.

In Yu Cheng's eyes, Xie Wanruo was an elegant white lotus, soft and noble, pitiful, and the only light in his dark life.

Facing Yu Cheng's affectionate eyes, Xie Wanruo frowned slightly and said, "Princess Jing was frightened, Your Highness, please send some apology gifts."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Don't worry about anything and just focus on recuperating." Yu Cheng reached out and smoothed Xie Wanruo's brows with his warm fingers.

Looking at Yu Cheng's back as he got up and left, Xie Wanruo's eyes were clear.

She still loved Yu Cheng, and because of her deep love, she had to make a painful decision for him and clear away the haze.

She wanted him to live in the sunshine and not be controlled by others.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and it made people feel warm.

When Yu Zheng returned home, Jiang Shu had already had breakfast and was basking in the sun in the yard.

Seeing Yu Zheng, Jiang Shu asked him, "My husband, have you had breakfast?"

"Yes, I had some at my mother's place." Yu Zheng stopped beside her and asked her if she was feeling unwell.

Jiang Shu shook her head: "I'm fine, husband, go change your clothes."

"Okay." Yu Zheng went into the house and changed into casual clothes. When he came out, he said: "I have to go out for a while and come back before lunch."

Children forget quickly, he had to ask quickly, otherwise it would take too long to get anything out of him. With

his almond eyes blinking, Jiang Shu said: "But go find those kids last night?"

Yu Zheng nodded.

Jiang Shu understood and said: "Husband, go quickly, I'll wait for you to come back."

Jiang Shu was also very concerned about the truth of this matter.
