Xie Qiwei was unwilling to accept this, she was truly unwilling, so she wanted her father to make a decision for her. As long as Xie Rouyu was willing to relinquish the debt of saving her life, she would have a chance to enter the Prince of Anyang's mansion.
But now her father is telling her to get married. In this situation, who can she marry? Suddenly realizing something, she took a step back in horror.
"Don't assume that what you've done is flawless; there are quite a few people among you who are suitable for you!"
Xie Chengguang was truly angry. He had originally intended to find a good husband for his legitimate daughter.
He nearly fainted when he discovered she had done something wrong. The Xie family, while not a century-old clan, still maintained its integrity, and he never imagined they would raise such a shameless brat.
Later, when I discovered she had stopped accepting things from other men, I thought she had repented. Little did I know! She was waiting for me here!
Xie Chengguang had previously planned to find a wealthy family to marry his daughter off in the place of exile, but it seems he underestimated his daughter's ambition.
When the person in front of her revealed her identity, she pretended to be pushed out of the crowd. She called for help to stop them, but they were determined to pursue their great future.
Although he favored his illegitimate daughter, he also valued his legitimate daughter. Now, this legitimate daughter had given him such a slap that his face was burning with pain.
Thinking of Xie Rouyu, who was now being kept by the Crown Prince, he felt a pang of guilt, because he had only been taking care of his legitimate daughter and had neglected his other daughter.
At this moment, he also became more determined to fight for something for his illegitimate daughter, whose future was uncertain. As for this daughter, he would find her a powerful family to marry into!
"Master, you mustn't!"
Ms. Chen, who had come over from the side, also watched the whole thing. She was close to the father and daughter, so she heard their conversation clearly.
"Heh~ No way? You can't even keep an eye on two girls, what use are you?"
Madam Chen panicked. She was Xie Chengguang's second wife. She had only given birth to this daughter many years after marrying into the family. Although her stepsons treated her politely, they wouldn't plead for her if Xie Chengguang asked for her help.
She's practically a grandmother by now. Her parents passed away long ago, and her older brother and sister-in-law are the current heads of the household.
Regardless of the depth of their relationship, even if the Xie family's misfortune caused his entire family to lose face in front of the emperor, he would not allow his brother and sister-in-law to protect him in the slightest.
Chen knew very well that if she didn't make a statement, she might be divorced. She would have no dowry and no family to rely on. If they wouldn't even let her go to exile, then death would be the only thing waiting for her.
So he stepped forward and grabbed Xie Chengguang's sleeve, pleading, "Master, it's all my fault, please forgive me this time! Sister Wei, quickly kneel down and apologize to your father!"
Xie Qiwei also knew the seriousness of the matter. For once, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she realized who her father wanted to divorce her mother for.
He felt a surge of hatred, but he couldn't let his father drive his mother away, so he obediently knelt down and carefully admitted his mistake.
Xie Chengguang eventually softened his heart towards his youngest daughter.
"I will open the family genealogy and register Rou'er under your name later."
After saying that, he left without waiting for Chen's reply.
Tears streamed down Chen's face; this was the condition her husband had given for sparing the mother and daughter.
Thinking of her disappointing daughter, she punched Xie Qiwei a few times, then hugged her and sobbed.
Xie Chengguang's prestige remained intact; the Xie family members, standing at a distance, dared not approach, even if they were curious about what had happened, they dared not ask.
After Xie Ming successfully placed Xie Rouyu in the arms of the Prince of Anyang, he received a "thank you gift" from Wu Chang—two identity documents.
"Brother Wu, what is this?"
“Brother Xie, I’m just doing this job to make a living, you know that…” He gave Xie Ming a meaningful look.
Xie Ming understood that this was intended for some inconspicuous prisoners who wanted to escape.
Wu Changken must have received a huge benefit from the Prince of Anyang's heir, in addition to the silver notes he had given out before. Therefore, the biggest benefit in his hands this time was his own.
Xie Ming reached out and took it: "Then thank you, Brother Wu."
Wu Chang waved his hand, picked up his waist knife, and went back to the front of the line.
Only after everyone had gone far away did he take Xie Yuzhi, who was still asleep, out of his sight and put his mind at ease with the child. He completely ignored the strange atmosphere that had descended upon the Xie family.
"Father! When will we arrive?"
A few days later, Xie Ming looked at the chubby boy beside him and felt a little depressed.
How did this child get so fat? This looks like an exile! It's already strange that he hasn't lost weight, but to become so chubby is a bit much.
"It's still a long way off!"
After he finished speaking, the child, dejected, continued walking forward with the group, his short legs barely moving.
"Yu-ge'er, you can't just feel like you're suffering on this journey. What your father teaches you will benefit you for the rest of your life."
He didn't treat the 5-year-old boy in front of him like a child, and stuffed all the things he could teach him into his hands.
Putting everything else aside, this experience has given me a good foundation for wilderness survival in the future.
In addition, he also began to pass on the basic skills of his master thief to his son, so the old man still had quite a few good things in his craft.
Once you've mastered those movement techniques, you'll be several times faster than others even when escaping for your life.
"I miss my wet nurse."
Xie Ming choked. He'd forgotten! The child was still a baby who'd only recently been weaned. He was truly helpless in this situation! Damn the old society.
"How about this? Once we've settled in, Dad will ask someone to send a message to your wet nurse for you."
"Wow wow wow~"
I don't know what sad thing my son was thinking about, but he started to cry loudly.
Xie Ming quickly picked him up and hurried on his way, but he was still quite happy. His son kept everything bottled up inside and treated himself like an adult.
Under his unconditional pampering, she finally started to act like a child and would cry in his arms.
