Chapter 222 All You Do is Cry
After Wang passed away, her funeral arrangements had to be made. Xie Zhaoye could only cry, so Xie Qingran took on all the responsibilities. Since she left after the divorce, Wang actually had no connection with the Xie family anymore. However, Xie Yankang still came because of the children she had raised.
He entered the room and looked at the coffin placed in the very center, feeling a pang of unease.
However, upon seeing Xie Yankang, Xie Qingran coldly said, "Father should know that the last person Mother wants to see right now is you. Respect for the dead is paramount. Father, you should leave quickly and not taint my mother's path to reincarnation."
Xie Yankang looked at Xie Qingran in disbelief: "Qingran, I am your father, how can you speak to me like this?"
"Wasn't it all planned by Father and the Imperial Concubine back then to send me to the estate to make room for Xie Hanyue? What kind of father are you? What kind of daughter am I? You only have one daughter, not me, but Xie Hanyue."
"go out!"
Xie Qingran directly tore away the last veil of pretense between the two of them.
Back then, Wang only said one wrong thing, but the Imperial Concubine wouldn't let it go and insisted on sending Xie Qingran to the estate. Now that I think about it, it was just an excuse.
Xie Yankang, that fool, not only wants to support his beloved daughter, but also wants her to enjoy the love of both of them.
The result is that Xie Hanyue, this bastard child, is showered with love and affection, while Xie Qingran, the biological daughter, is left hungry and thirsty. It's ridiculous, utterly ridiculous, and utterly laughable!
Xie Yankang never expected that even though the Imperial Concubine was dead, Xie Qingran would still find out about what happened back then.
He looked at Xie Qingran in disbelief: "No, no, Qingran isn't what you think. Back then, I..."
"Xie Zhaoye, are you dead too?" Xie Qingran looked at Xie Zhaoye coldly.
This person is definitely not smart. He puts all his energy into her, but when it's time to exert himself, he's like a dead man, just standing there watching.
Xie Zhaoye immediately realized what was happening, hurriedly got up, and pulled Xie Yankang out.
"Mother, sob sob, Mother!"
"The moon has come to see you, Mother!"
Xie Hanyue rushed in, wailing and crying, and knelt in the center of the mourning hall, crying like a child. However, she was just putting on an act to show how filial she was.
Normally, Xie Qingran wouldn't pay attention to these things, but not today.
"Men, throw them out!"
"No, please, sister, I beg you. I know you hate me, but Mother raised me, and her kindness to me is immeasurable. I only beg you, please let me see Mother off on her final journey, sister!"
Xie Hanyue knelt on the ground, humbly clutching Xie Qingran's skirt, and cried out in pleading.
Today, all those present were Wang's closest friends, so seeing Xie Hanyue in this state, they all felt sorry for her, since Xie Hanyue was the person Wang cared about most when she was alive.
They all looked at Xie Qingran with dissatisfaction: "Even if you are the heir apparent of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, you shouldn't be so domineering at home!"
"As the Crown Prince's wife, she's not even considered overbearing."
Xiao Jue, dressed in plain white clothes, strode in from outside.
This...this...
His legs?
Everyone was stunned as they watched Xiao Jue walk in step by step using his own abilities. They couldn't even believe their eyes. Weren't Xiao Jue's legs supposed to be crippled long ago? How could he still move freely now?
"Your Highness, what brings you here?"
Xie Qingran's eyes reddened, and the moment she saw Xiao Jue walk in, she felt as if her support had arrived.
"Today is the day of my mother-in-law's funeral. Anyone she doesn't want to see must get out!"
"Guards, drag him away!"
Xiao Jue stood beside Xie Qingran, firmly protecting her.
He unleashed his full power, all the killing intent he had accumulated on the battlefield in his earlier years erupting in that instant.
All those present were ladies from humble backgrounds, and none of them had ever had such an experience before. They hurriedly lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.
No matter how loudly Xie Hanyue cried, she was eventually dragged out.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Qingran looked at Xie Zhaoye: "Smash the tiles, raise the spirit!"
Xie Zhaoye's tears fell instantly. He picked up the earthenware pot and smashed it hard on the ground.
Xie Qingran knelt down and watched them leave step by step with Wang's coffin.
She originally thought she hated Wang Shi to death, but now that Wang Shi is dead, Xie Qingran is left only with confusion, and doesn't even know who she should hate anymore.
For three or four days in a row, Xie Qingran simply locked herself in her room, neither speaking nor eating.
Xiao Jue came several times, but Baozhu always stood outside and shook her head at him.
"The Crown Princess is in a bad mood and doesn't want to see anyone."
"Your Highness, you should go back first."
Baozhu looked at Xiao Jue with a helpless and pitiful expression.
Xiao Jue turned to leave, but a thud came from inside!
This time, Xiao Jue couldn't stay calm. He kicked open the door and went inside. Seeing Xie Qingran lying on the ground, Xiao Jue quickly stepped forward and said, "Call the divine doctor over!"
The divine physician arrived quickly and, after carefully taking her pulse, sighed: "It's a heart meridian injury, but fortunately it's not too serious. She just needs to rest well. Princess Consort, you're very thoughtful. Your Highness, you should spend more time with her!"
Xiao Jue didn't understand how his heart meridian had been damaged.
"She wasn't close to Wang Shi, so how could her heart meridian be damaged?" Xiao Jue asked, frowning as he looked at the divine physician. "Did you misdiagnose her?"
The divine physician originally didn't want to say much, but upon hearing Xiao Jue's words, his expression immediately changed, and he said in an annoyed tone, "Why is the Crown Princess acting like this? Don't you really know? She is someone who has had her heart's blood drawn, and she already has some damage. Now, her loved ones have passed away, and she has been betrayed by her family. You are also causing her a lot of trouble. No one could bear this, right?"
"Get out."
Xiao Jue didn't stand on ceremony at all, giving the divine doctor a wide-eyed look.
Helpless, the miracle doctor could only reluctantly turn and leave.
Baozhu sobbed uncontrollably, "Miss was so pitiful. She never had a good day in her life. Now that she's dead, she's dragged our Miss down with her. What a tragedy!"
"Shut up."
Xiao Jue frowned, looking at Baozhu with displeasure.
"Even if you feel sorry for the Crown Princess, you can't just say whatever you want, otherwise you'll be ruining her reputation, do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Baozhu belatedly realized her mistake and subconsciously patted her mouth, whispering, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this servant deserves to die!"
"Alright, go prepare some food for Qingran when she wakes up!"
"yes!"
