I didn't expect that Xiao Yuanhe would propose to sever ties so quickly!
This is also normal.
After all, with Xiao Yuanhe's intelligence, he definitely doesn't want to have anything to do with Xiao's current Qing Luo!
Xiao Qingluo had offended Sun Ru, and even criticized the Minister of Rites, who was a first-rank official!
If the Minister of Rites came to ask for accountability, no matter how rich their family was, they would not be a match for the Minister of Rites!
Especially if the emperor heard this rumor and punished them, their Xiao family would be really ruined!
What’s more, the emperor is now waiting for the Xiao family to do something wrong!
As long as the emperor catches you, he will punish you and confiscate your property!
Xiao Yuanhe knew that the emperor's conspiracy of granting marriage put him in a dilemma.
If he agreed to the marriage, he would have to pay money for the country.
His Xiao family completely became the emperor's ATM.
Whenever there is something that requires money, the first person the emperor thinks of is definitely his Xiao family!
And the emperor will never give up unless he drains his family's wealth!
But if he disagreed with the marriage, that would be disobeying the imperial order.
This way, the emperor has more reason to confiscate the property and exterminate the entire clan!
The emperor also hopes that Xiao Yuanhe is a fool, so that he can solve the problem once and for all!
And in disguise, he got rid of a serious threat!
The two types of people that the emperor fears the most are a wealthy businessman who is as rich as a country, and a general who holds military power!
He, Xiao Yuanhe, is the former.
His only way to break the impasse was to sever ties with Xiao Qingluo!
But if he wanted to sever ties with Xiao Qingluo, he couldn't be too deliberate.
So that night, when Yu Huilan suddenly suffered from heart pain, he decisively agreed to Xiao Qingluo's request to sever the father-daughter relationship!
His purpose was to announce to the world what happened that night after the Sixth Prince's birthday banquet today, using Xiao Qingluo's request as an excuse, so that he could legitimately sever ties with Xiao Qingluo!
At the same time, he put all the responsibility of severing the father-daughter relationship on Xiao Qingluo!
By then, even if the emperor knew that he was deliberately severing the father-daughter relationship in order to break the deadlock, he would have no choice but to accept it!
Who made this request from Xiao Qingluo?
The emperor has no choice!
This is also Xiao Yuanhe's conspiracy!
And if the emperor gets angry, his anger and punishment will only fall on Xiao Qingluo!
Nothing happened to him, Xiao Yuanhe, his wife and daughter, or even the entire Xiao family!
But now, Xiao Qingluo, this brainless guy, actually dared to criticize the first-rank official of the dynasty, put a big hat on the head of the Minister of Rites, and disfigured the Minister of Rites' daughter!
If they don't sever their father-daughter relationship with Xiao Qingluo now, the three of them might just return to the Xiao family that night, and before the news of severing the father-daughter relationship with Xiao Qingluo gets out, they will be killed by the Minister of Rites or even the people sent by the Emperor!
He was not willing to bear this kind of joint liability together with Xiao Qingluo!
In this way, he has now severed his father-daughter relationship with Xiao Qingluo, and has escaped the danger from the emperor and the danger from the Minister of Rites. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!
But for Yu Huilan and Xiao Ruolian beside Xiao Yuanhe, this is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone!
After all, in their plan, if they get rid of Xiao Qingluo, Yu Huilan will be the legitimate wife, and there will not be a so-called 'daughter of the legitimate wife' standing by to remind everyone that Yu Huilan is an illegitimate existence!
This is especially true for Xiao Ruolian, as she is the true eldest daughter of the Xiao family!
Instead of the second lady of the Xiao family!
A hundred years after Xiao Yuanhe's death, all the money will belong to her and her mother!
Yu Huilan and Xiao Ruolian were almost overjoyed at this moment!
Xiao Qingluo did a really good job this time!
They actually accomplished three of their plans at once!
Moreover, Xiao Qingluo is about to face a disaster!
If Xiao Qingluo could be killed by Sun Ru, then they would have killed four birds with one stone today!
Yu Huilan and Xiao Ruolian looked at Xiao Qingluo with sneers on their faces. If it wasn't at the birthday party, the mother and daughter would probably raise their glasses and drink together, laughing until dawn!
Just when everyone was looking at Xiao Qingluo.
Xiao Qingluo suddenly stood up and let out an unexpected laugh: "Oh, this is really a pleasant surprise!"
Xiao Qingluo stood up straight and bowed to Xiao Yuanhe: "Thank you, Master Xiao, for freeing me and allowing me to escape from this sea of suffering. From now on, we will be strangers and please do not disturb each other again!"
Xiao Qingluo's words immediately made Xiao Yuanhe feel aggrieved!
Xiao Qingluo was telling Xiao Yuanhe not to disturb her anymore!
Xiao Yuanhe was so angry that he sneered, "Haha, if you starve to death in the future, I won't even give you a bowl of leftovers!"
Xiao Qingluo simply ignored Xiao Yuanhe and sat down again to drink warm wine, looking relaxed and comfortable.
The first goal, to break away from the Xiao family, has been achieved!
Xiao Qingluo just wanted to drink a few more glasses because she was happy today!
Xiao Yuanhe felt as if he had punched cotton, and immediately gave Xiao Qingluo a cold look.
Then he bowed to Sun Ru and said loudly, "Miss Sun, my Xiao family does not know this Xiao Qingluo. What she said has nothing to do with my Xiao family. Please be aware of this, Miss Sun."
Sun Ru saw all this and looked at Xiao Yuanhe hatefully.
She originally wanted to use the Xiao family as a threat to force Xiao Qingluo to change his words and admit his mistakes and apologize to her. She would then take the opportunity to teach Xiao Qingluo a lesson and relieve the depression in her heart!
But now.
Xiao Yuanhe directly severed his father-daughter relationship with Xiao Qingluo!
It doesn’t matter whether Xiao Qingluo cares about bringing trouble to the Xiao family or not!
