"Li Xue!" Xiao Yunheng's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his voice seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, "What a good thing you did!"
"Send a doctor to come and have a look." After Yun Zishu finished speaking, she retired to the emperor. "I will leave first. The happy event of the Xiao family has nothing to do with me. I don't want to stay here and embarrass them."
After that, without waiting for the emperor to speak, he left the antechamber on his own.
Xiao Yunheng no longer had time to pay attention to her, his eyes fell on Li Xue's face like an icy edge, and an unprecedented shame and humiliation hit his heart, making him furious and humiliated.
"The concubine's happiness is a great event for the Xiao family. I think she can be promoted to the head wife." Yunchi, who sat at the end of the prince's throne, said in a brisk tone, "This is the first grandson of the Xiao family. He can't be born as a concubine.
Bar."
Mrs. Xiao didn't notice the reason for Xiao Yunheng's anger. When she heard the seventh prince's words, she was instantly happy and secretly said that this child came at the right time.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at the emperor: "This time I am overjoyed. I want to ask for the emperor's grace to give Li Xue a legitimate identity."
"This is ridiculous!" Xiao Yunheng gritted his teeth and tried to suppress his anger, unwilling to expose his family scandal in front of outsiders. "I will not agree to let her be my wife. Can mother calm down a little?"
Mrs. Xiao froze, and turned to look at her son in disbelief: "Xue'er is already pregnant, and working for the Xiao family is hard work without credit, right? Yun Heng, what on earth do you want to do? Could it be that
Do you want your son to be a bastard from birth?"
Xiao Yunheng felt a burning fire in his heart, gritting his teeth and not wanting anyone to know about that embarrassing incident, but he knew that once the emperor really agreed to his mother's request, there would be no room for change in the matter.
Taking a deep breath, he said in a cold tone: "What Li Xue is carrying in her belly is not my child at all!"
What?
Everyone was shocked, and Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty, forgive me." Xiao Yunheng leaned over to apologize, "I didn't want to say more about what happened today, but the situation forced me to do it, regardless of my own face, and ask for your Majesty's clear judgment."
Li Xue's face turned pale: "Brother Heng..."
"Li Xue, as long as you still have a little sense of shame, you won't be here today to take the position of your first wife." Xiao Yunheng's eyes were cold and his tone was unprecedentedly contemptuous, "I haven't said anything because I want to leave a little bit for you.
Face is not about allowing you to push your limits and challenge my bottom line without scruples! You know in your heart whose child the child in your belly belongs to, and you have given up on wanting to be the Xiao family's head wife!"
"Brother Heng," Li Xue's face turned pale, her eyes were filled with shock and confusion, and she kept shaking her head, "I have never done anything sorry for you, you... why did you say that to me? I have never..."
"I haven't touched you for two months, where did your child come from?" Xiao Yunheng was extremely angry and interrupted her coldly, "Tell me! Whose is the evil seed in your belly?!"
Mrs. Xiao came back to her senses and shouted angrily: "Yun Heng, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I just want to ask Li Xue, have I touched you in the past two months?" Xiao Yunheng stared at Li Xue with sharp eyes, "Tell mother, have I touched you? Have I touched you?!
"
The higher-pitched question made Li Xue's face turn pale with fright, "Brother Heng..."
The emperor's face was as dark as water, and he looked at the farce in front of him with an angry look.
Others also looked embarrassed.
absurd!
How ridiculous!
Are these topics that old-fashioned people like them can listen to?
What's going on with the Xiao family? It's such a mess!
Xiao Yuanting knelt on the ground, with a stiff expression on his face: "They say family scandals should not be made public. I have lost all face today! I have no face to take up the post of general again. I beg the emperor to punish me!"
"Report to the Emperor." Mrs. Xiao still refused to give up and made a final struggle, "Li Xue was too tired today. She is not happy at all. This is all a misunderstanding——"
"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's find a doctor to come and take a look." Yunchi continued, "If there is no happy pulse, it would be good to prescribe some medicine for Mrs. Side to replenish her body."
Li Xue felt cold all over and looked in a daze.
Why?
Why did God do this to her? What did she do wrong?
She just wants to be Xiao Yunheng's wife, is she wrong?
Why does God punish her like this?
"Come here, find a doctor immediately!" Xiao Yunheng had completely lost his mind and shouted angrily, "I will let her die!"
Mrs. Xiao turned pale and shouted sternly: "Yun Heng, can you stop making trouble? Don't you think the Xiao family has lost enough face? Ah? How long are you going to make trouble?"
"It's my mother who is making trouble, not me." Xiao Yunheng looked at her coldly, "I have told my mother a long time ago that Li Xue is a bitch who is restless at home. Why didn't you listen? Why did you insist on forcing me? You used to favor Li Xue.
That’s it, Xue, I still favor her indiscriminately to this day, I’ve had enough!”
"From today on, I no longer have any relationship with Li Xue. The divorce letter will be sent to her tonight! Let her take the divorce letter and go back to Li's house, and never appear in front of me from now on!"
After saying this, he kowtowed to the emperor and said, "I will write a letter of divorce now and retire for the time being."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, he stood up and walked out, his steps so fast that he disappeared in an instant.
Li Xue collapsed on the ground, overwhelmed by a burst of despair.
The noble ladies stayed in the attic by the lake. Due to the rules, they could not wander around the house. However, everyone was curious, so it was common for them to send their maids around to find out the news. So after a while, some maids hurried away.
When he came back, he spread the farce in the front hall to the attic, which shocked the ladies present and changed their expressions.
"Yun Zishu rejected Xiao Yunheng's peace proposal in public?"
"Yes, even the emperor's words are useless." One of the maids replied, "But what Madam Xiao likes is Li Xue, the Xiao family's side wife."
Princess Huazhu said: "Li Xue is Mrs. Xiao's niece, so it's not surprising that she prefers her."
"Is the Ninth Princess still in the front hall?"
"It should be leaving——"
"Big news! Big news!" A maid ran up to the attic quickly, her footsteps audible with urgency, "The Li family's wife is happy! But Xiao Yunheng said that she was pregnant with evil, and the child was not his.
The front hall is in chaos right now, and there's a lot of commotion going on."
As soon as he finished speaking, the attic fell into a dead silence.
Xiao Yunwu, who was eating food, changed his expression, put down his chopsticks, got up and walked out.
Li Xue, this damn bitch! What a disgrace!
All the ladies in the attic looked at each other in confusion. After a while of silence, Wu Jingyi frowned: "Li Xue Hongxing is cheating?"
