"Great idea! My husband, you are truly brilliant!"
The more Cui thought about it, the more she felt that Xie Ze's plan was excellent.
Helian Jue had a falling out with the emperor, and the father and son almost became enemies.
Helian Jue made great strides in Lingnan, secretly raising an army and showing signs of wanting to seize control of the region.
The sage, though furious, had no better solution.
He could only keep sending people over, trying to make things difficult for Helian Jue.
Xie Ze, the magistrate of He County, was like this, as was the fourth prince of the neighboring Yongzhou.
Besides outsiders, women could also be sent into the inner courtyard of the Prince's mansion.
Firstly, it allows for the extraction of intelligence at close range;
Secondly, it can also foster the relationship between the King of Yue and his wife.
Thirdly, it's purely about finding fault and making things difficult for Helian Jue.
However, Helian Jue had already fallen out with the Emperor; they were no longer enemies, nor were they a close father and son.
If Xie Ze were to force his daughter to marry into the Yue Prince's mansion through the Sage, Helian Jue would definitely object.
In the inner courtyard of the Prince's mansion, it was incredibly easy for a woman who was not favored by her husband to "disappear."
Xie Ze wanted to use his daughter to gain wealth again, not to send her to her death.
Therefore, this matter must never be handled through a sage.
Fortunately, Helian Jue had a foster mother.
There may not have been a deep affection between Empress Ashina and Helian Jue.
However, Helian Jue's ability to become the crown prince was entirely due to Empress Ashina's efforts.
Helian Jue could not completely ignore the more than ten years of kindness in raising him.
There is no affection, but there is gratitude.
Helian Jue was therefore required to be respectful and filial to Empress Ashina.
Xie Ze could easily find a way to get in touch with Empress Ashina and then, through this influential figure, have Xie Rou become a concubine of the Prince of Yue!
Xie Ze had been considering the feasibility of this matter for a long time.
Today, Cui spoke up, and Xie Ze took the opportunity to say it.
The couple sat down together and discussed it carefully, becoming increasingly convinced that the matter could be accomplished.
"However, my lord, we still need to discuss this matter with Arou."
Mr. Cui felt that the plan was good, but the parties involved also needed to cooperate.
Just like the Fourth Prince before, Arou looked down on him a hundred times.
Even after marrying into the family and becoming a concubine, she was still unable to gain a foothold in the Fourth Prince's residence.
Later, the goods were even returned, which was a huge loss of face for the Xie family.
This time, she will still be a concubine to the prince. The prince was once jilted by Xie Rou, so Xie Rou will need to be even more gentle and considerate to coax him back.
This requires Xie Rou's active cooperation.
If she does the same thing as last time, even the best plan will fail!
Xie Ze had also considered Cui's concerns.
He nodded. "Alright, you go and have a good talk with Arou first!"
At least she should be told that things are different now. Xie Rou has already been rejected once, and it will be extremely difficult for her to find a suitable family to marry into again.
Becoming a concubine to the King of Yue is the best outcome that can be considered for her at the moment.
Xie Ze hoped that Xie Rou could be smarter and not make stupid mistakes again and again!
If Xie Rou still doesn't understand and continues to act recklessly this time, he will really have to give up on this daughter.
Xie Ze did not only have Xie Rou as his child; at most, his other children were born out of wedlock.
Xie Ze was wary of Consort Cui in the palace, and he also wanted to rely on the power of the Cui family of Qinghe in the north, which is why he valued Consort Cui and her children so much.
However, Xie Ze has now fallen to the south of Lingnan and is only a minor official of the seventh rank.
He really doesn't have the resources to keep messing around.
The Cui family was not as "reliable" as he had imagined.
Xie Ze no longer had much patience or tolerance for Cui Shi and her so-called legitimate daughter.
If it succeeds, great; if not, just discard it!
Damn it, I can't take it anymore, and I don't want to take it anymore.
He ended up being exiled to Lingnan, and in the end, it was all because of Xie Rou, that rebellious daughter.
Having shared a bed with Xie Ze for twenty years, Cui naturally had a very accurate grasp of the temperament and emotions of the person beside her.
Cui had noticed Xie Ze's recent emotional changes.
She only suggested talking to her daughter after she noticed her husband had changed.
She was starting to get scared—if the Cui family couldn't offer her husband much support, then her value as his wife would begin to diminish.
Cui did not want to fall into a too miserable situation.
Her daughter had indeed caused her trouble and embarrassment, but she was also her hope for a comeback.
As long as Xie Rou gains the favor of the Prince of Yue, as long as she can gain a foothold in the Prince of Yue's mansion, she can have another child in the future.
Her daughter's future was now secure, and she, as the mother, could continue to enjoy prestige in the Xie family!
With this in mind, Cui went to Xie Rou's room.
After being rejected by the Fourth Prince, Xie Rou has remained secluded at home ever since.
How embarrassing!
Although I don't know many people in Yuezhou.
Xie Rou still felt ashamed, and her pride and self-esteem suffered an unprecedented blow.
"You Fourth Prince, you Madam Xu! You are too cruel to use such despicable means to harm a weak woman like me!"
Xie Rou complained frantically.
She didn't even consider that she was the one who looked down on the Fourth Prince first. The Fourth Prince wasn't a masochist, and she wasn't some stunning beauty.
Why should the Fourth Prince be so shameless as to grovel and fawn over him?
And Princess Xu, she never made things difficult for Xie Rou.
In Princess Xu's view, it was all the man's responsibility. If he didn't take the initiative to provoke, how could the palace have concubines and secondary consorts?
