Chapter 236 Disdain
Will things finally turn out well after all the hardship?
Xie Qingran felt that it was still a long way off.
However, it was a good thing that Xiao Jue wasn't in the capital at this time. She didn't want Xiao Jue to know about the Xie family's dirty deeds, as she felt it would be shameful.
"Let's pack up and go back to the Xie family home."
Xie Qingran threw off the covers, stretched her body and felt a little sore. Thinking of Xiao Jue's passion last night, Xie Qingran blushed.
The Xie family.
Xie Hanyue is still kneeling in the ancestral hall, looking at Xie Zhaoye who brought her food, her eyes reddening: "Brother, did I really make a big mistake this time? But I really didn't mean to. I just don't want to leave the home where I grew up."
"You know perfectly well what you want." At this moment, Xie Zhaoye finally saw Xie Hanyue's true colors, and his attitude towards Xie Hanyue was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Xie Hanyue never imagined that Xie Zhaoye would treat her this way.
Her eyes were red, and tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls.
"Why, brother, why are you doing this to me?"
"Why is everything different now? You all loved me the most before, so why is everything different after my sister came back?"
"What did I do wrong? I just didn't want to leave my home, I didn't want to leave my family. I... Brother, I really just made a mistake for a moment!"
As Xie Hanyue spoke, she broke down in tears again and grabbed Xie Zhaoye's clothes.
"Brother, please forgive me just this once, please give me another chance."
"Brother, please, I beg you, please?"
Seeing Xie Hanyue's tearful appearance, Xie Zhaoye felt unusually calm.
Even Xie Zhaoye himself was surprised by his calmness; he had never imagined that he would be so calm in the face of Xie Hanyue's tears.
He took a deep breath and said with some helplessness, "Xie Hanyue, you know perfectly well what's going on."
Before, Xie Zhaoye believed every word Xie Hanyue said without question, but now he understands that Xie Hanyue is capable of saying and doing anything for her own purposes.
He ignored Xie Hanyue's tears, then turned around and strode outside.
Xie Qingran stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall, watching Xie Zhaoye come out with a gloomy face, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
The moment their eyes met, Xie Zhaoye's expression changed several times, finally settling on helplessness and guilt. He stepped forward and looked at Xie Qingran: "Are you here to watch the show, or to see me being made a fool of?"
Seeing Xie Zhaoye's dejected and disheartened look, Xie Qingran simply smiled and then said calmly, "You are one of the few people in this world who are connected to me by blood. Why should I laugh at you? I should congratulate you, congratulate you for finally seeing this person's true colors, shouldn't I?"
Xie Zhaoye never expected that Xie Qingran would say these things to him when he was at his most desperate, helpless, and heartbroken.
He had always thought that Xie Qingran hated him!
But now he realizes that Xie Qingran hates him only for his lack of clarity and his stupidity.
"Qingran, I'm sorry."
Xie Zhaoye's expression suddenly changed, and he hugged Xie Qingran tightly.
"It's all my fault, brother. Please give me a chance, Qingran, give me a chance!"
Xie Zhaoye's words were all sincere.
However, Xie Qingran's heart remained largely unmoved.
Perhaps in her previous life, Xie Qingran had always longed for the love of her family, but now that she has been reborn, she feels that perhaps it doesn't really matter.
But she was still willing to give herself another chance, a chance to live a good life.
Xie Qingran took a deep breath and patted Xie Zhaoye on the back: "After something like this happened at home, all you can do is hug me and cry?"
What?
All of Xie Zhaoye's emotions vanished in that instant.
He paused for a moment, looking at Xie Qingran with some surprise: "Then what do you think I should do?"
"I'm asking you, do you now admit that I said Xie Hanyue is a menace if she stays at home?" Xie Qingran raised an eyebrow and looked at Xie Zhaoye.
If Xie Qingran had said something like that before, Xie Zhaoye would definitely have turned hostile.
But now, Xie Zhaoye could only nod silently, feeling that what Xie Qingran said made perfect sense.
Seeing that Xie Zhaoye wasn't exactly unrepentant, Xie Qingran's expression finally softened. After thinking for a moment, she said directly, "Since he's a menace if he stays at home, let's send him away."
"Where should we send her?" Xie Zhaoye had a headache. "Although she is our adopted daughter, if we really care, she is a precious gem. We can't just send her wherever we want."
"His Majesty means that she should be married to the Prince of Lingnan and become his consort." Xie Qingran took out the imperial edict and handed it to Xie Zhaoye.
What?
Xie Zhaoye was stunned for a moment after seeing the imperial edict, but quickly reacted and was somewhat surprised: "Lingnan is a remote and poor place. Even if she went there to be the Crown Prince's wife, she probably wouldn't have many good days. Why would Your Majesty suddenly send her there?"
"So you mean you're a little reluctant to part with it?" Xie Qingran frowned, looking at Xie Zhaoye with some confusion.
After realizing what was happening, Xie Zhaoye hurriedly shook his head and then said in a low voice, "I'm afraid this is not something I can decide!"
"Who gave you the authority to make this decision? The Emperor has already made the decision. You should take this imperial edict and go find your father and mother." Xie Qingran smiled and looked at Xie Zhaoye. "No matter what, you are the eldest son of our Xie family. You should do what you are supposed to do. Only when the Xie family is doing well can you do well. If you are doing well, your mother will have nothing to worry about. As for the rest, you don't need to worry about it."
After saying this, Xie Qingran walked straight towards the ancestral hall.
Upon entering, seeing Xie Hanyue kneeling there expressionless, Xie Qingran knew that although this woman was kneeling there, she had no idea that she had done something wrong.
That's just how she is; she always does whatever she wants and is completely unaware of her mistakes.
Seeing Xie Qingran walk in, Xie Hanyue's face darkened for a moment, then she said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"This is my Xie family ancestral hall. Why can't I come here? Aren't you the one who shouldn't be here and doesn't deserve to be here?" Xie Qingran looked coldly at Xie Hanyue, her expression revealing disdain and contempt.
