Chapter 237 Congratulations to Us
What Xie Hanyue disliked most was Xie Qingran's cold demeanor. She frowned deeply and looked at Xie Qingran coldly: "Even if I am locked up here temporarily, it's not your place to laugh at me, is it?"
"I'm not here to laugh at you. I'm here to tell you that the Emperor has bestowed a marriage upon you, and you're to marry Bai Shu, the heir of the Prince of Lingnan." Xie Qingran said this explosive news with her usual expressionless face.
What?
Xie Hanyue was truly disregarding everything now. She stood up abruptly, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and glared at Xie Qingran through gritted teeth: "It was you! It was you, wasn't it? You did everything, didn't you!"
"What does this have to do with me? It's the emperor who doesn't want you to stay in the capital."
"Don't you understand yet? The Emperor chose Zhou Huai'an over you!"
Xie Qingran raised an eyebrow and gave a mocking smile.
"You think you're a princess, but in reality, if His Majesty says he doesn't want you, he means it."
These words were like a needle, piercing Xie Hanyue's heart.
Xie Hanyue originally thought that the emperor would definitely acknowledge her as his daughter, but she never expected that the emperor would abandon her directly and send her to Lingnan.
So what kind of godforsaken place is that?
Why?
Xie Hanyue looked at Xie Qingran with disbelief and astonishment: "Why? Why is Father treating me like this?"
"Do you even have the right to call me Father?" Xie Qingran looked at her disdainfully: "The Emperor has never truly acknowledged your status!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Hanyue broke down even more. She suddenly went berserk, rushed towards Xie Qingran, grabbed Xie Qingran's neck, pressed her to the ground, and straddled her.
"Don't think I don't know that all of this is because of you, you bitch!"
"I'm going to kill you! If I can't live, I'll make you die with me! Die, Xie Qingran, die!"
Xie Hanyue gripped Xie Qingran's neck tightly, her eyes bloodshot.
Xie Qingran, however, remained expressionless, staring intently at Xie Hanyue as she watched her step by step walk towards her own destruction.
"Qingran!"
Xie Zhaoye rushed over and, as if possessed, shoved Xie Hanyue aside and helped Xie Qingran, who was on the verge of death, to her feet.
"Qingran, thank you Qingran!"
"Someone, quickly summon the imperial physician!"
Xie Zhaoye picked up Xie Qingran, who had already fainted on the ground, and quickly walked towards the Rose Garden.
Xie Hanyue belatedly realized what had happened and looked at her hands in disbelief, never expecting that she would do such a thing.
Xie Yankang stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall, coldly looking at Xie Hanyue sitting on the ground: "You really disappoint me. Your sister always thought of you, but you wanted to kill her?"
"From now on, you are not allowed to leave the ancestral hall even for half a month. In half a month, you will be married off to Lingnan!" Xie Yankang was originally a little reluctant to see Xie Hanyue leave.
But now, Xie Yankang also understands that Xie Hanyue is a menace if she stays by his side, so he must get rid of this menace as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Xie Hanyue finally realized that she seemed to have been tricked by Xie Qingran again.
She immediately burst into tears, crawled forward on her knees, and grabbed Xie Yankang's trouser leg tightly, sobbing as she said, "No, please, Father, please don't do this to me, okay? I don't want to go to Lingnan, I don't want to go to Lingnan. For my mother's sake, please give me a chance and save me, okay?"
"If you don't go, you're disobeying an imperial order!"
"Don't tell me you're not a princess. Even if you really were a princess, you'd still die for disobeying the imperial decree!"
Xie Yankang bent down and pried her fingers apart one by one, looking at her coldly.
Xie Hanyue had never seen such a look in her eyes before, nor had she ever imagined that one day her beloved father would look at her with such indifference.
For a moment, Xie Hanyue's face was filled with astonishment and confusion.
She looked at Xie Yankang in bewilderment: "Why, Father? You raised me for so many years, loved me for so many years, why are you treating me like this? Why? Why have you all changed now? Why, no matter how much I beg you, are you unwilling to let me go, unwilling to save me? Why?"
Xie Yankang truly did not expect that, even now, Xie Hanyue would still be blaming them. He suddenly felt that all the love and time he had given over the years had been wasted.
"You are just as selfish as your own mother."
"You really are her daughter!"
"Guards, watch closely! If the Second Miss leaves the ancestral hall even a step, you will all be executed with her!"
Xie Yankang took a step back, his eyes filled with hatred and disappointment as he looked at Xie Hanyue.
Years ago, Xie Yankang was young and impulsive, and brought this child home. He has taken good care of him all these years. But now, the Consort is dead, Lady Wang is dead, and the Xie family has fallen apart. Looking back, Xie Yankang feels that everything he has done is his own fault.
From the very beginning, he was merely a pawn used by the imperial concubine. She never felt any helplessness or affection towards him; from start to finish, she only used him.
All the beauty in it was just Xie Yankang's imagination!
Thinking of this, Xie Yankang felt as if his heart was about to break.
He took a deep breath, glanced at Xie Hanyue one last time, and then strode outside.
The servants in the mansion were all veterans who had worked there for decades. They were adept at reading the wind and knew from this situation that Xie Hanyue had no chance of turning her life around in the Xie family.
Everyone's expression changed, and they sealed off the ancestral hall.
It was at this moment that Xie Hanyue finally realized the seriousness of the matter. She rushed forward frantically, pounding on the door: "No, please don't do this, let me out, help! Let me out!"
"Father, brother, please don't treat me like this!"
"Moon knows I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
"Give me another chance, please, I don't want to go to Lingnan!"
Rose Garden.
When Xie Qingran woke up, it was already dusk. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xie Zhaoye: "Where is Father?"
“You were alone in the room. He came to see you and locked Xie Hanyue up.”
"Qingran, you've achieved your goal, haven't you?"
At this moment, Xie Zhaoye finally realized that everything was Xie Qingran's scheme.
"Yes, I have achieved my goal."
Congratulations to us.
