The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Xie Wanyun stopped talking, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, the sweet and cool tea aroma spreading in his mouth.
It is the best snow bud.
Tea trees sprout in the snow, and tea farmers pick them in the heavy snow. Every piece of tea leaf is the freshest bud.
An ounce of tea is worth a thousand ounces of gold.
It was sent by an old member of the Xie family.
Old Madam Qin and her companions looked down on military commanders and mocked them for being vulgar, but they did not despise tea and drank dozens of kilograms of it in five years.
"Sister, I know you hate me, but Quan Ge'er is my own flesh and blood!"
Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Yun'er knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Back then, my sister married Master, and I gave up on her and became his mistress for many years. But now, Quan Ge'er is five years old and old enough to learn to read. Even if my sister hates me, she shouldn't take her anger out on the child."
Xie Wanyun raised his eyes and looked at Liu Yuner.
No wonder Qin Suan holds her dearly in his heart.
Liu Yuner is indeed beautiful.
Although she came from the countryside, she had a pretty face and looked like a weak willow in the wind.
Her attire was also fresh and simple, yet a closer look revealed its refinement. Her Ziyunying Liuxian skirt was made of soft, thick, and dense silk, of which Xie Wanyun only had a few pieces in her personal stash. The hairpin in her hair was made of tribute pearls from the South China Sea, full and round. The pair of flat-toed, small flowered shoes on her feet were also a fashionable style.
Xie Wanyun simply stroked the teacup and said calmly, "My marriage to the master was ordered by His Majesty. What does it have to do with you? I won't dwell on the fact that you've been secretly having an affair with the master for a long time. But according to the rules, you should respectfully address me as Madam."
"I..." Liu Yun'er bit her lips tightly, her face looking grim.
Humiliate her for having an affair without a matchmaker.
But how good is Xie Wanyun!
Seeing his beloved being humiliated, Qin Su'an slammed the table and stood up, "Enough, Xie Wanyun, stop going too far! Whether you agree or not, Quan Ge'er's adoption ceremony tomorrow is a done deal!"
Xie Wanyun said word by word, "Then divorce me."
In the silence, Qin Su'an suspected he had misheard and couldn't believe it. "You... do you know what will happen to a clan wife if she is divorced?"
Of course Xie Wanyun knew.
A divorced woman would bring shame to the entire family and implicate all the unmarried daughters in the family, leaving them with no hope of survival.
She was the only one left in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but the Xie family still existed.
As for divorce?
impossible.
Qin Su'an killed her child and seized countless private properties of the Xie family, including farmland, shops, orchards, etc.
Her feud with the Qin family will never end.
"I'm not afraid of death, but..." Xie Wanyun looked at Qin Su'an, his eyebrows and eyes unchanged, and gave a sarcastic smile, "Do you dare?"
The current empress dowager is the daughter of Xie.
Qin Su'an has not yet established a firm foothold in the court, and the matter of inheriting the title has not been settled yet. He still has to rely on the old members of the Xie family to mediate.
"Cough cough..." Old Madam Qin suddenly started coughing violently, and everyone looked at her.
Qin Su'an looked nervous, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay. I'm old, and I have problems from time to time." Old Madam Qin waved her hand, took the tea handed to her by Wei, and after calming down, she spoke earnestly, "Wanyun's intention is good, but the adoption requires the establishment of an ancestral hall. If the elders are satisfied with the date, let's set it on this day."
When Liu Yun'er heard what Old Madam Qin said, her cheeks lost all color. She looked at Qin Su'an with tears in her eyes and called out, "Husband..."
Qin Su'an was about to explode.
"That's enough." Old Madam Qin glanced at him with a warning.
Qin Suan gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, grandmother..."
