Chapter 77 Sit Back Down
Zhaoyang Palace.
As soon as Xie Hanyue entered the room, she knelt on the ground and sobbed uncontrollably: "Your Highness, please do justice for me!"
The Imperial Concubine already felt sorry for Xie Hanyue, and now seeing Xie Hanyue crying so pitifully, she felt even more heartbroken. She hurriedly said, "What are you doing, child? Get up, get up! Why are you crying so sadly?"
"Your Majesty, there is truly no place for me in this house. I beg Your Majesty's grace to allow me to enter the palace as a servant and serve Your Majesty!"
Xie Hanyue did not get up, but just knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Quick, help him up."
"What exactly happened? You child, if you've really been wronged, you must tell me!"
The Imperial Concubine tenderly took a handkerchief and kept wiping away Xie Hanyue's tears.
Xie Hanyue finally felt a little better, and then choked up as she said, "Does Your Highness know that the marriage between the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and my sister has been arranged? Now, my sister is taking advantage of this marriage to make things difficult for me and belittle me at every turn, and to ruin my reputation. I... I would rather be dead!"
The Imperial Concubine's expression changed upon hearing these words, and she then clenched the handkerchief in her hand: "The engagement has already been arranged?"
"Yes, Father said that the marriage will be arranged soon."
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? My sister hasn't even married into the family yet, and she's already been subjected to all sorts of humiliation. If she really marries into the family, will I even have a chance to survive?"
"Your Majesty, save me!"
As Xie Hanyue spoke, she knelt down again.
"I will not agree to this marriage!"
The imperial concubine clenched her fist and slammed it against the chair!
Seeing this, Xie Hanyue felt even more distressed and hurriedly took the Consort's hand and gently rubbed it: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry, take care of your health!"
"Your Majesty, I am truly at my wit's end. I don't know what to do. Please, Your Majesty, save me!" Xie Hanyue looked pitifully at the Imperial Concubine, her eyes brimming with tears, just like the Imperial Concubine herself.
Seeing the little girl crying her eyes out, the Imperial Concubine felt even more heartache, so she said directly, "Alright, alright, stop crying. Calm down first. After I have a good talk with your father, we will make a decision. Don't worry, even if she really marries him, I will not let her live a peaceful life!"
"yes!"
"I knew that Your Majesty loved me the most. If Your Majesty were not here, I would not know what to do!"
"Your Majesty!"
Xie Hanyue sobbed, but she was also relieved.
She just couldn't stand Xie Qingran living a good life, and she was willing to do anything to make Xie Qingran's life difficult!
Soon, Xie Yankang was summoned by the Imperial Concubine and brought to Zhaoyang Palace.
At this moment, Xie Hanyue was sitting in the small room at the back eating snacks.
Upon entering, Xie Yankang knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine."
"Why did you marry your daughter to Xiao Jue!"
"The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has finally fallen into decline, and you, of all people, want to help it?"
"Do you know how much effort I put in to make Xiao Jue and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion so prosperous!"
The Imperial Concubine's first words were full of dissatisfaction and complaints.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yankang frowned, then said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This marriage is almost settled. Besides, our Xie family has declined significantly in recent years and indeed needs the assistance of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Furthermore, Xie Qingran is now completely obedient to me. If we can truly obtain the power to manage the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, then we can naturally help her family in the future. At that time, Yue'er and Zhaoye's future will only get better and better!"
The Imperial Concubine was just asking a question, but she never expected Xie Yankang to tell her so much.
Even though she was dissatisfied, the Imperial Concubine still felt that Xie Yankang's words made some sense, but...
The Imperial Concubine frowned and looked at Xie Yankang with some curiosity before asking, "Tell me, is your daughter truly of one mind with you?"
"Although Qingran seems aloof, she still cares a lot about the Xie family's honor. She and I are naturally of one mind." Xie Yankang was quite confident about this matter.
After hearing this, even though the Imperial Concubine was still reluctant, she nodded and said indifferently, "If this daughter can really listen to you, then it would be a good thing. However, I saw this little girl when she was young. She was very stubborn and disobedient. After she grew up and came back, she even eliminated and beat up people around me. I'm afraid you will have difficulty controlling her."
Xie Yankang naturally understood what the Imperial Concubine was worried about. He smiled and said, "Actually, this is a good thing. If you don't have any tricks up your sleeve, it would be a waste to marry into the family. Isn't this just right?"
“We are connected to her by blood, and this relationship can never be severed.” Xie Yankang was already getting impatient at this point.
Although he always treated the Imperial Concubine very well, compared to the glory of his family, the Imperial Concubine was just an Imperial Concubine.
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Concubine understood that there was no point in saying anything more, so she could only nod.
"It doesn't matter who your daughter marries, I don't care at all!"
"Then, I must ask you, do you know that Yue'er has suffered grievances in the manor? Do you know that your good daughter has been making things difficult for and bullying Yue'er at every turn?"
The imperial concubine raised an eyebrow, looking at Xie Yankang with displeasure.
"Ever since Yue'er came to my Xie family, my wife and I have treated her like our own daughter. Who would let her suffer any injustice?"
"Your Highness, please rest assured. I will naturally cherish her and find her a good family so that she will never have to worry about making a living again and can live a happy life."
When Xie Hanyue was mentioned, Xie Yankang's eyes were full of tenderness, clearly showing that he really loved this adopted daughter.
The Imperial Concubine finally nodded in satisfaction: "With your words, I am relieved. As long as Yue'er is doing well, I have no other requests. You have worked hard to take care of Yue'er all these years."
The Imperial Concubine's tone had softened at this moment, and her gaze towards Xie Yankang carried a longing and gratitude that only they could understand.
Xie Yankang's heart softened immediately: "This is what I should do. I am satisfied as long as Your Highness can rest assured."
"Alright, I was just asking. You may go back now!" The Imperial Concubine sighed and pointed to the pastries beside her: "Take these back with you for your good daughter."
