Chapter 75 Seeking a Divorce Decree
"Impossible! My older brother said I'm his only sister!"
Si Yao's eyes were bloodshot; the grievances she had suffered for days had completely broken her down.
"My promise to you was just empty words," Si He said softly.
The stench of blood, which had been suppressed for so long, finally broke free.
Si Yao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her whole body convulsed with pain, and she fainted from anger.
"Useless thing." Xia Changle couldn't help but speak up as she watched from the side.
Qingbao still smiled and said, "She claims that she will never rely on a man in her life, but if she loses one of them, the blow to her will be worse than death. People often say what they lack the most."
Si Yao, who constantly claims she doesn't rely on men, is often the one who most craves male affection.
Qingbao had already seen through everything.
"Take her away. Her blood is splattering on my reward, like a heart." Xia Chang Le raised her hand and ordered her men to drag Si Yao away.
The servants in the mansion immediately fell silent.
Even the eldest son of the Si family, who dotes on Madam Yao, has turned to stand on Si He's side?
From then on, Sihe became the absolute mistress of the house.
No one dared to disobey her anymore.
Even Madam Yao and the old lady are not allowed.
"Never mind her." Xia Changle's brows relaxed, and she smiled warmly as she took Si He's hand. "These are all gifts that I, the princess, have prepared for you. Do you like them?"
These are all top-quality items, unlike the gifts bestowed by the Emperor, which cannot be sold for money.
However, whatever Xia Changle gave her, she could exchange it for silver notes if she didn't like it.
The items here are extremely luxurious; the entire fortune of the Su family combined does not equal this reward.
"I naturally like what the princess gave me." For some reason, Si He felt a warmth in her heart.
She looked at Qingbao.
Qingbao was already chewing on the glass vase, the little dumpling bouncing around among the pile of gifts.
Looking left and right, its body is nimble, like a little elf.
Xia Changyin watched Qingbao from the side, his eyes filled with relaxed affection.
"That's nothing. I even went to my father to get an imperial edict for you." Xia Changle immediately waved her hand, and a eunuch came over with the edict, about to open it and read it aloud.
Si He reacted quickly and stopped him from opening the imperial edict.
Xia Changle was puzzled.
Even Qingbao and Xia Changyin, who were bouncing around, were stunned.
I don't understand what Sihe is going to do.
"Princess, may I speak with you in private?" Si He's expression was solemn; this was a rare opportunity.
She didn't want to let it go for nothing.
Xia Changle paused for a moment, then finally nodded and walked with Si He to a secluded spot.
Si He knelt down before her, "Can this imperial edict be withdrawn?"
"Why?" Xia Changle helped her up, her eyes filled with disbelief.
This is an honor that many people would kill for.
With this honor, she's basically set for life.
Why not?
For a moment, Xia Changle couldn't figure her out.
Si He lowered her eyes, finally revealing a corner of her grievance, "The person who just vomited blood and fainted was my husband's concubine."
“Su Xiao and I grew up together, but he welcomed both of us into his family at the same time. As a concubine, he held a very high position and could accompany the general on his campaigns. Naturally, the general preferred him.”
"I was coerced by the Si and Su families to stay in this inner courtyard. I have no power or influence and have to swallow many grievances."
“Princess, if I can only have one imperial decree, what I want is the decree for my divorce from General Su.”
Her gaze was sincere, with tears welling up in her eyes.
In fact, Xia Changle had already learned from the behavior of Old Madam Su and Si Yao that Si He was the one who had been suppressed all along.
I never imagined she would be so wronged!
Xia Changle's throat tightened, her eyes filled with sympathy, yet she sighed, "General Su's military achievements are considerable. If he doesn't agree, I'm sure it will be difficult for my father to deal with him..."
In the end, Sihe was just an ordinary woman.
How could the Emperor possibly care about her grievances?
Because of her adoptive parents, Si He was forced to stay with the Su family. What puzzled her even more was why the Si family and the Su family insisted that she stay.
Si Yao and Su Xiao are clearly the perfect match!
Let her go and let them be together, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
She said bitterly, "I always wanted to give it a try."
Three years have passed, and there has been no news of the adoptive parents, yet the Su family has refused to reveal even the slightest detail.
The only clue was that her grandmother told her that she could only have a glimmer of hope if she returned to the Su family and obtained power.
But no matter what she tried, she couldn't find that glimmer of hope.
Since that's the case.
They decided to take Qingbao and leave, getting as far away from these demons and monsters as possible.
"But don't worry, you and Qingbao are my saviors, I will help you no matter what!"
Xia Changle held her hand firmly.
She has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment.
The moment she returned to the palace, she sent men to strangle the slave who had taken the siblings.
Then, without stopping, he washed and tidied himself up, obtained an imperial decree, and rushed to the Su family.
Repay kindness immediately and avenge wrongs immediately.
"I am deeply grateful for the princess's words." Si He knelt down and bowed to Xia Chang Le.
Xia Changle knelt down again and helped her up.
"But you must accept these rewards today. Once this imperial decree is issued, there is no reason to take it back. I will ask my father for a divorce decree for you later. After the divorce, you must accept this one as well."
"Thank you, Princess." Si He said sincerely.
Xia Changle led her back to the hall.
He approached the servants of the Su family and began to speak.
"From now on, your General's wife will be under my protection. If anyone bullies her in this inner quarters, it will be the same as bullying me!"
"You know what will happen to you!"
Countless servants' legs went weak, and they all knelt down, shouting in unison:
"Yes, we will certainly not disobey Madam!"
Only then could Si He be considered the true mistress of the Su family.

After Xia Changle returned to the palace.
He rushed to the Imperial Study to see the Emperor.
The Emperor was reviewing memorials when he heard familiar footsteps. He looked up and met Xia Chang Le's expectant gaze.
"What's wrong? Did you see your savior?" The Emperor was already used to her recklessness.
Xia Changle didn't hide anything, "Father, may I ask for another imperial decree on behalf of my benefactor?"
This is mentioned.
The Emperor silently put down his vermilion brush, rubbed his temples, and looked displeased.
"What? Your savior has such a big appetite? Even a third-rank imperial consort can't satisfy her?"
Such a greedy person probably has ulterior motives for saving people.
The emperor let out a sneer and did not intend to pay any attention.
It seems that Su Xiao's wife isn't a very good person either.
"No, Father, she didn't want this imperial edict and returned it to you!"
The Emperor jumped up and slammed his hand on the table. "What?"
Can an imperial edict be returned?
